Repair BROKEN Tooth on BIG Excavator Bucket | Gouging & Welding

  • This video is a job we did to repair a broken tooth adapter on a GP bucket for a 50 Ton Hitachi zaxis ZX490 Excavator. The tooth and adapter has completely broken off the bucket. So we need to repair and replace the tooth adapter and tooth. This shows the step by step process to air arc gouge (carbon arc gouging) the broken adapter off and prep the bucket before fitting and welding on the new adapter. We also fit the new tooth and turn the gum guards for a bit of extra life.
    In this video we are using:
    - Lincoln Electric DC-400 Welder
    - WIA 500i Weldmatic welder

    Biggest difference I think in Air gougeing and plasma for example is that a plasma is a cutting tool and Air gouge is a carving type of method, easier to get the right amount of metal away. Nice job as usual Kurtis, and Karen is a pro with both footage and editing. Have a nice weekend!

I know, it seems silly and cumbersome to you when it is going on, but it is a treat to us, both professionals and non-professionals alike. Thank you again, we love what you do. Good job. ❤

    After running equipment for over a decade I have seen many of those shanks break, the outside ones are the most common and it usually happens from my experience when the outside tooth catches a rock and the operator starts wiggling the bucket in place to try and get past the rock or pull it out. Luckily I was taught when you run into that situation go the tooth width wider and you can usually get the obstruction out without breaking a shank or tooth. Also having had to replace shanks I know how big of a job it is especially if you don't have an air arc gouge, it is not that fun with oxy acetylene and requires significantly more cleanup after. You make it look easy, I also love the fact you use mig to weld it back in place, so many people think stick is the only way to get a strong weld on something like that.

    • @chuckbailey6835

      Idk about that when I was a teenager my dad's friend came to work for him after he retired from 45yrs as a pipeline welder I spent 1 summer rebuilding our old excavator buckets with him. He could burn shanks out with a torch and other than the slag it looked like it was cut with a bandsaw.

  • @WmSrite-pi8ck
    @WmSrite-pi8ck 2 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    Love how you get the same questions every time you bust out the arc gouger. It's about control versus time. Plasma would take forever and you'd go through a hundred contact tips and oxy/fuel torch would take so much gas to sink heat into something that big. And if you're not trying to sever and just trying to "dig" that metal out, carbon arc is the way. That electric arc is so much more efficient in terms of watt for watt energy consumed. A torch has to get so much metal hot before it hits the autoignition temp.
