Welding on some wear strips for a D61px idler. Lots of good time lapse on putting the track back together. Not a really long video or a lot of talking just doing.
That gentleman you’re working with doesn’t seem like he’s has to much to say, but he really looks like he knows what he’s is doing. You were talking about how handy a boom truck is in a previous video. In your line of work, it is not just handy, it’s an absolute necessity. Good job.
It is always a pleasure a leaning experience to watch professionals at work. You can't help but learn and the mean thing is they make it look so easy. Job well done and thank you.
great video. Nice work my friend. I need a crane truck like yours. It makes everything so much easier. I am sure a cake decorator would find a use for a knuckle boom truck..I just saw clamps that are ell made just like your friends' at Harbor Freight.
Thanks Mathew. Oh it was all Mr. Lee I’m still pretty green when it comes to heavy equipment I know the agricultural field decently well, but earthmoving is a different story.
After your video about boom trucks I see them everywhere now. Perhaps it's because all the brush is at it's thinnest and I can see into places that most the year I wouldn't, but there several parked on different properties on the road I live on. Never would have thought twice before your video. :)
certified lifting equipment? its nearly 2022 not the 60's , recoil unit and idler trapping you against the machine, take a step back and think of your safety
Noticed comment on brands of rod. Excalibur is good and also esab which used to be alloy rods. Lincoln bought murex which is good but not finding them right now. Good rod is paramount. Got that line from the girlfriend. I think she is still searching 😆
those strips used to be high in manganese for komatsu and caterpillar flat track dozers. I used to pre heat the strips after tacking to 300 degrees or so then post weld heat treat to slow cooling rates ( to avoid future cracking) .
mr. Lee seems to know his stuff but doesnt seem to have much personality, he comes across as he'd rather do it alone than have you there. hope he's better to you in person
Those are Lincoln Excalibur rods they do pretty good they quit selling my favorite brand years ago which was a off shoot of Lincoln they were called fire power. The manufacturing must of went overseas they’re not worth a crap now.
another job done well Ethan . just wandering if you were going to make it up to the flywheel festival in Houston in April? They didnt have 1 last year because of the plandemic
Howdy. I was going through the comments and I might be the only one here but...the music...awful. The footage is great. Hates the music. I just turn it down...whatever I guess.
I applaud anyone that can work such heavy equipment and make it run again. Nice rebuilt and getting in back into service. Thumbs Up!

Wow nice watching a professional skilled mechanic do the job!
Great post! Amazing talents you guys have. One more machine saved from the scrap yard.
Very satisfying to watch . You guys make it look easy ! Thanks for filming it.
You really get after it. Great video.
Another great video! Love the variety of different jobs you show us.
Great video fellow Mississippian. Stay safe brother.

Nice job! You get to learn from the best! Thanks for sharing
Outstanding Sir.....enjoy you videos from Florida, Paul
Awesome job!!!
just saying, in my opinion the kinda guys watching your videos dont need the music, its all about the work buddy
I think it's just filler sound for the time lapse stuff.
Y'all made it look easy! That's definitely a couple pounds of iron to be moving around.
Thanks Mathew. Oh it was all Mr. Lee I’m still pretty green when it comes to heavy equipment
I know the agricultural field decently well, but earthmoving is a different story.
Great choice of music in the wear pad removal...Bravo
Always great work enjoyed watching 👍🏻
Post more with that guy he’s pretty sharp and your weld look awesome keep it up man
Very COOL Very Nice to see HE whose Knows WORK. GOTTER DUNN

Thanks for sharing another great video 🇦🇺👍
Good work those beassy clamps are great 👍

Nice burning with the torch. Hello from 🇬🇧
I like how you used the machine to put the track on ..That is some heavy parts to have to man handle
Mr.Lee has a very nice truck. Saw him on Cottontop and a previous video of yours. That fellow should do a truck tour video.
Love my step over clamps. Spendy but handy
Nice job!

Nice job bro
Those clamps are the shit if you build anything with flanged material
thank god for hoists save your back. working smart

Good video... I didn't see any block under the iron.... safety first
Great job i know when tou are working on them things its a lot of bull work.
mr. Lee seems to know his stuff but doesnt seem to have much personality, he comes across as he'd rather do it alone than have you there. hope he's better to you in person
He is really camera shy. We actually get along really well. Hardest working person I’ve ever been around.
Nice job, Ethan What happened to the idler?
Bearing went out. You can see were the track was rubbing one of the cylinder pins on the side.
Do you use abrasion resistant steel for the wear strips or just regular steel
That’s right it’s some form of AR plate if I’m not mistaken.
curious what those wear pads are made of.....thanks...Paul
Хорошая качественная работа профессионала👍
13:00 Model clamp?
What type of steel are the wear strops made of?
You’re mechanic reminds me of CottonTop3 mechanic Jay. They both know their equipment but don’t talk much.
That’s funny you say that. Mr. Lee knows Mr. Jay lol.
Do you have a specific brand of welding rods that you use?
Those are Lincoln Excalibur rods they do pretty good they quit selling my favorite brand years ago which was a off shoot of Lincoln they were called fire power. The manufacturing must of went overseas they’re not worth a crap now.
I use 7018 1 /8 better weld 125 amps wont crack if u pre heat with a rosebud
Did you use 4140 prehard for the replacement wear bars
I think it was AR Plate of some kind. I’m not really sure.
@@EEJester1586 another good choice when I first saw the metal it looked like CRS 1018
😲😂oh～amazeng's🎉‼️
Who's that other guy that's on some of your jobs
another job done well Ethan . just wandering if you were going to make it up to the flywheel festival in Houston in April? They didnt have 1 last year because of the plandemic
Thank you. Yes sir planning on going this year hopefully old red wants to go.
the track tentsioner grease zerk was facing wrong way :( i think
What was the music?
Single pass with 3/32 wont stay
Not the most pleasant fellow to work with, must have had a rough night the night before.
Howdy. I was going through the comments and I might be the only one here but...the music...awful. The footage is great. Hates the music. I just turn it down...whatever I guess.
The music junked another video 👎👎👎👎💩💩💩😬😬
