- Yet another high steaks welding repair ! If I don’t repair this farmers roller for his bay baler correctly he could lose his whole crop! We can’t let that happen, no crop means no food for his cows during the harsh Montana winter. So I do my best to get my neighbor back bailing his hay. Will I succeed?! You’ll have to watch to find out if I have the skills to save the day!
BUY SOME MERCH MF - meltinmetal.con
Here’s some tools I used
The BEST welding helmet- rockmountweldi...
The BEST welders gloves- amzn.to/3RFy3yS
The BEST weldors jacket - amzn.to/45c89pF
The BEST grinding Discs- rockmountweldi...
great you were able to 'Bail Out' your neighbor on his Baler......
🤣🤣
You shoulda just used a square instead of fucking around with that level
😂
Bruh! 😂😂
"hey, I got that one!!"
Surely like the fact that you talk about the undercut and continue to gride and reweld. Most people making these videos won't admit to any mistakes. Kudos for the honesty. Honesty is the best policy and will allow your business to grow rapidly.
that mom joke had me spitting my coffee out!
Prime example of how being a welder is way more than welding . Mathematician, Metalologist, Fabricator, Measurementologist, temperatureologist etc..
I ain't no welder. I'm a grinder
When I view welding videos on FB, no matter how pristine the weld is, all the asshole Mr-know-it-alls have a need to say something negative or nasty. Most of them are loosers in high school, didn't graduate and decided to become a pipe weldor. They are narrow minded. They think all welding is "pipe welding." One video a new mig welder was being demonstrated on a 1.5" x 1.5" x .120" steel tubing. One comment was, "that's only a root pass."🫣
Metallurgist*
As welding engineering student it's rather a shit ton of thermo dynamics being a metallurgist and yeah maths as well the maths and physics go hand in hand thermo dynamics joint forces stresses fatigue tensile forces all that sort of stuff
A-fucking-men
13:20 I could be wrong.. but I don’t think it was anything in the material. This was bound to happen because you were sealing the air inside and it spit out at you because the oxygen was leaving the inside of the pipe. If there was another hole somewhere else it wouldn’t have happened. Not a bad thing, it’s just the air pressure inside. Probably could’ve let it cool a bit before closing that last bit to prevent it from spitting out at you. I could be wrong, just my two cents. Great job man
Possible! Never had that happen with steel. And also that was after the root. Was the hot pass that it did that
@@MeltinMetalAnthony yeah as soon as I said that I remembered it was the cap.. that’s strange. 🤷🏻♂️
*I think that's just a variation in the steel. Happens with cast aluminum all the time. That cylinder could likely hold a few hundred psi no problem.*
@@MeltinMetalAnthony when doing long welds in a closed vessel, a separate vent hole to allow hot gasses to expand will prevent the spit. once cooled, weld the vent hole closed.
@@MeltinMetalAnthony Austin Ross just had a video yesterday or the day before where he talked about it. he had his root in and when he was hot pass/capping it blew a hole out the weld and he had to fill it in and he talked about it
It doesn’t matter how many mistakes you make, it only matters that you can fix your mistakes.
- every great technician ever
I like how you showed the baler running at the end, most of these repair channels only show the work they do to the part, not the work that the part does
3:20 leveling when you should use squares. Always choose squares over levels when you can. Good job!
serves a more accurate result
I love the text on the screen about you and my mom. Old school, keep them coming.
You need a digital level! Leave your piece (and truck) like it is, put the thing on top, and just press "zero". You'll be home way earlier. Spam this comment with likes and comments untill he promises to get one. 😄
im not a welder, but from a mechanic point of view. this looked like art
He’s lucky he had someone as diligent as you do the repair. Balers have a habit of catching fire when the bearings fail and if you don’t get it unhooked fast enough can lose the tractor too.
Craftsman ship is important but offset bearings can help too
Damn, love your problem solving, and execution… and those “Pop ups” and your sense of humor, always get me laughing!
Well done ANTHONY!
Keep it up!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⚡️⚡️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks buddy!
Bold move Cotton ! Great job figure it out as you go along , I did this work in the 70's and 80's No internet to find answers , Love watching you work , An Montana Background is the vest
Right on!
I know what you mean, all that time experimenting , when you could have just been sittin' on you butt watchin' utube...
hot air in the closed tube expanded and pressurized the vessel. maybe drill a vent hole next time.
Good job and nice follow through with the customer. Thanks for the post!
Dude you killed that weld in my mild opinion!!! That saved that farmer and you should be proud of what you do in everything!!!!
Thanks man!
Ignore the judgmental pricks - you probably do more by noon than they do in a month - appreciate your content - you are thorough
Very well done, Anthony. You're a pro.
I was worried for my mom, until he pullout his screwdriver😂
🤣
Like the different types of repairs and the explanation why you do what you do.
Had to subscribe man’s to funny an smart 😂
Looking good brother, I like seeing pipe fitting skills used for another application. Seems like you always learn more doing a repair then with a perfect fitup. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks 👍
You tell it like it is. Love it man.
Great video. That blow out can happen because of pressure build up from inside the sealed tube. That air wants to expand as it heats up and has no where to go, thus it can blow out the liquid puddle.
I just did one of these a month ago! took 3 of us to get it back in,we were all bleeding by the end-lol! lots of sharp edges in a baler. I like how you pay attention to interpass temps-sign of a true professional
Thanks bud! I do my best
*Looks clean. I thought you were wasting daylight getting that roller square for the third time until I saw it spinning at 600rpm lol.*
@MeltinMetalAnthony could that blow out you had could possibly be expanding air inside the pipe trying to escape is it a sealed unit?
That's exactly what happend.
@@1nvisible1it would've been a nightmare for that farmer if it was wobbling badly and the belt got twisted or tangled with the other belts
That's 100% mission accomplished. Great repair...
decent explanation of what you did and why you did it all , not a welder here by any stretch of the ima=gaination expect for some dicking around on my own projects and fully understood why and how you did it all . VERY NICE !! Keep Up The Good Work
Great video, no fukin' around👍
WELL DONE. Doing an "in the field" repair without ending up with a serious shaft wobble is pretty damn good.
You do a good job welding kid. I would suggest safety glasses when you wire wheel bro
If you put thick rubber washers between the welding machine and your truck bed it’ll take out the vibration. Kinda like Harley Davidson did on their motorcycles .
Welders are the worse critics! Good job my man!!!
Weld a nut to the out rigger . Use a three quarter impact that raises your truck
That’s a great idea! I’m gonna
*My mom will miss the workout :-(*
@@1nvisible1😂😂
In practice it probably wouldn't work. It'd either break the drive for the leg, or stop turning
@nickwhite6717 a drill would be much better I wouldn't use an impact
Always keeping it real🤘
Great job, happy to see you using the optrel. So light and comfortable on top of the clarity it’s hard to go back to anything else for me.
The moisture you see from heating your rods is likely from the flame itself, and not the rods (assuming you stored them correctly which it looks like you did). Water forms as part of every combustion reaction so when running it over a "cold" surface like the steel on your truck you'll see water condense out of the flame, and then disappear as you re-heat it with your flame.
Great work!
My Mom called you left your wallet at her double wide trailer....
😂
Helluva a fine place to live n work 👌
Dude you rock. I'm *not* in the trade, but watch a lot of machining and sparky Tubers. You showed many techniques that I did not know about...and I'm talking, This Old Tony, Abom, IC Weld, Classic Weld, etc. Love the attitude!
Thanks bud! I’m glad you liked the video!
The blowout was due to air pressure build up in side the pipe from the preheat with the torch. I burn mine out 3/4 the way around and leave a hole that I can fill once the pipe cools
Man who's telling this guy he's not good? 😂 the guys a pro!!
HES A PRO, BUT IN 10 MORE YEARS HE WILL BE A MASTER
Something else I'm gonna sub I like your attitude lol you're a welder through and through
The shaft was pressurized, that's why you had that blow out, I've worked on seal welded electric utility poles and the hot air expands causing pressure
Looks like you have been working out. Your arms are getting bigger. Good job man
Most of the nay sayers are afraid to venture out and atleast try to accomplish a thing, it has to be in a sterial enviroment and all things must meet the book specification before they can have a monicome of confidence in their own ablities, this is why they attack others, to make them selves feel better. Dont give the space it would take a nat to turn areound in your mind. I learned this the hard way i was tasked with welding the top surface of an EA-6B Naval jet wing where i rivet had failed and created a fuel leak, did i mention it was full of fuel some where areound 14k lbs of JP5 i had two guys on two differant fire suppression systems ready to put me out should things go south. It was one of the most terifing and most exciting things i ever did. I leared to strea h out my boundaries and live life from that. Good job man i truly enjoyed watching this video along with all the other ones i have watched. Keep up the good work.
I use a piece of scrap copper to make a small angle to use for the vise jaws so it doesn’t damage anything
Damn those are some beautiful welds.
On pipe that spitting thing is a gas pocket that gets in the 6010 metal when welding. That happens to me all the time on the job.
Fucking dead nuts! Love it! This guy speaks my language.
Love your work bro
Super cool
Anthony, your videos are much more than just welding.
They are about " Problem Solving " with experience & knowledge, also improvisation and using what you have with quality and professionalism.
Many others would give up or not even try the challenges you've faced. You inspire all workers to have a positive attitude and never give up. Regardless of their profession.
Thank you.
Dear Mr James .
13:25 or so, that part that spit out at you was probably
caused by the pipe not being vented.....a small hole drilled to let out the
pressure somewhere on pipe , and then welded up after you finish your
welds can prevent this......
best wishes from Florida, Paul 'Paulie' Brown
Thanks Paul! Ya that was probably it! I just wonder how they welded it originally cause it had no vent hole
@@MeltinMetalAnthony You can also just leave a hole to the end then fill that. MANY pieces of equipment are not made with particular care by the factory. Note that tube was a bit thin for the application (steel is $$$ in volume). Were I the owner I'd have a heavier wall replacement made in advance of next season since nearly every failure is a signal to upgrade. You probably know a machinist or two and some time spent watching them do repair machining is GOLDEN for understanding even more about metal, and if ya lay some beads to return the favor you have another friend for the mutual favor factory. (I fix computers for my machinist bro and he gives me all sorts of cut-offs which cost him nothing since the customer paid for the stick.)
My guy! Another successful video. I learned aomething, as usual, watching ya. Thanks a ton
Appreciate it!
As far as any professional welding ap[plication. This fellow is a total Farce
You always putting down that fy weld 👌👍
Did that for a John Deere that broke in the center. Put a piece of dom pipe in to reinforce it. Been fine ever since
Nice!
Boop
Great job!
Maybe, if there is more time, show all the yummy shots of everything, more defects and how many times you had to regrind it out to fill it up again...
Plus, mat costs with time...
Cheers!!
good job
Good repair. If your neighbor is gonna keep that baler you will get to do some more. If you took the belts off you would find cracks in most of them.
I've had belts off our baler and always spin the rollers to hear the bearings. Now I'll have to put my glasses on and check for cracks next time. I'd like to hve seen the struggle getting that roller in and out, even with two people. Ah the profanity.
You have the generator just get like a toster oven for baking your rods
ב''ה, heat exchanger on vehicle or generator exhaust?
I’ve never welded before but I’m curious how/why you knew the steel needed to be pre/post heated? Thanks!
Looks like a gas blowout from being sealed on both ends with no weep hole. Gas built up and popped a piece out
Could you have used 6011 to burn out some of the foreign material on your root?
Hello there, good job on that one ! Can i ask why do you need to pre-heat the pipe before you can weld it ?
Sorta have to wonder why it failed in the first place?
op error, or conditions or excessive use?
Please explain why you do certain things when you talk about them...why a certain rod for root, for filler, for cap. Why pre heat and/or post heat, why put a blanket over cooling matal or Bury in sand? As those who aren't welders won't have a clue why. But great videos, excellent work.
I like it beautiful Work borther
My name is Anthony Too.... Anthony is a good name😅
Great video brother! What kind of work pants are those? Thanks
If you would have used Rockmount Polaris AAA you would not have had these undercut issues !
Would a square not work on what you are doing with a level?
Love this content and even more there isn't one bad comment I can find. Get job everyone. And thank you for saving this man's crops. It's not mine but if everything I worked hard for was about to just die in front of me, id do almost anything to make it happen. So seriously. Thanks you.😊
I'm about to do a driveshaft so we will see lol
Ohhhh need a lathe
Lol you better zero that fucker to a few thou
@@MeltinMetalAnthony ya that be nice but I'll probably end up taking it to get balanced all I have is a stand and a square and level lol
Ants giving up a free Pella ad and he doesn’t even know it,
I've fixed more farming equipment than anything else in my lifetime. I've never done one of those before though. Lots of combines, threshers and balers but never that roller.
I'm sure he was happy you got it done in a timely manner. Downtime for farmers sucks hard.
Nice job on the repair
I'm still wondering how it broke in the first place. I saw a post on FB where a belt broke in half and wrapped around the pickup and destroyed the whole assembly for the pickup + bent a couple of the rollers.
Can't even imagine how much it cost to fix all that
Why did you not use a builders square?
Please buy your shelf a 6inch to 1' level stabila makes one's electronic measurements with magnetic, straps
Buy me one
I did tons of rollers the ends they were machined down by a lathe had to be carefull not to warp the shaft
“If you didn’t like it you know what to do, go f%@k yourself.” Hahahaha
Beautiful repair, nice attention to detail and heat.
Square would have done the same thing maybe weld a torpedo level to the step bumper
That spit out was pressure build up within the pipe.
Anthony what helmet do you recommend for grinding. I see you use two different helmets one for welding one for grinding. Thank you from Connecticut
Optrel makes on for grinding that good I also use the uvex one
@@MeltinMetalAnthony thanks
Use a square on the pipe and a straight edge on the cap. No need to jack around with leveling everything
Why did you need to pre-heat. Was this cast iron or hi carbon?
What kind of welding certs do you have for mobile repair
What would cause a failure like this?
The “go f yourself” earned you a sub 😂
Well done buddy !!!
Mom had to pay the bills somehow ANTHONY!!
How do you tell its too hot and how do you know what temp to pre heat it to?
You need a vent on the roller to avoid spitting.
nahh
Why not downhill it? Just curious
Nice work Anthony! I like the way you made adjustments as you went along, tweaking the process as was needed. I especially appreciated the pre-heat and post heat aspects you included in this repair. I have no doubt your repair will last far longer than other areas of that roller! Solid work …well done!
Thanks bud! I try to keep it as transparent as possible. I never weld the same thing 2x except pipe fence lately so I never know exactly what I’m going to do until I’m I. It
@@MeltinMetalAnthonyif you didn't have the kevlar blanket or sand to post heat couldn't you periodically run the torch over it to slow the cooling?
Or does it need to be shielded from the atmosphere?
Hi, have you ever used 7015/7016 rods for root pass instead of 6010/6011?
No I should thiu
Only need to if the material needs it
7016 is a very nice running rod. 7018 is rare as hens teeth here in Australia, 16 is our common hi tensile
@@nickwhite6717 wia aust arc 77
I would have just levelled the piece in the vise not the truck? Other than that well done brother
I agree with you. Pre-heated material requires less amperage. Nice pick up on that undercutting issue
I learned that fact as well as some techniques that I hope I'll never encounter in my home shop.
This guy leaves no small detail out he covers the who, what, where, when, and why
I remember we had a “bale kicker” failure and we actually put square tubing inside the round in hopes of more strength. If I remember right, it worked well after gussets were added to the arms to help with the extra weight
