Repair DAMAGED Tilt Bucket for 30T CAT Excavator | Welding & Arc Gouging
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 มิ.ย. 2021
- This video is a job we did to repair a damaged tilt bucket for a 30 Tonne Caterpillar 330 Excavator. This bucket got caught on the excavator track and the moldboard and cutting edge have been badly bent. First we carbon air arc gouge the cutting edge and bent moldboard off the bucket using our Lincoln Electric DC-400 welder. We then fit, align and tack on the new moldboard before lots of welding. After the welding is done we fit and bolt the cutting edge on to the new moldboard to complete the repair.
In this video we are using:
- Lincoln Electric DC-400 Welder
- Geiger Pneumatic Needle Scaler
- WIA Weldmatic 500i Welder

My girlfriend is complaining she likes the rough looking you.!!!!
@tony king it'll be back in a few weeks 🤣
Almost didn't recognise you!
The only reason to have a face that smooth is if you went to court or you got married! 😂😂
Shave and a hair cut makes you feel good knocked ten years off ya ..
The new apprentice looks a lot like Kurtis, even sounds like him. Does seem to do a good job.
LOL xd
that is Carl
Mans looking like he's in his early 20s with that shave
Almost had to get the whipper snipper out to shave the neck beard it was getting out of control 🤣
Next week in suit 😎
Get the neck beard back.
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Nice looking Kurtis, ten years younger :-)
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering probably get asked for ID again if you go to the bar haha.....
0:52 I love it when you show us the little clip of what the repair is of. Keep that up.
Me too that shows knowledge of training and presentation skills, It's just a bucket off something until we see WHAT it's off of and what that piece of equipment does! Keep them coming!
My favourite part as well. Huge Chunk of Metal A and Huge Chunk of Metal B, just doesn't quite have the gravitas of "this cylinder carries the entire weight of the dozer's blade"
I Love how y'all show the bloopers at the end and he has no filter when he messes up then I get to hear a cute laugh from the lady holding the camera. It show we are still human and mess up lol please don't change anything about y'alls self for anyone and I hope y'all have a great day and God Bless both of y'all
Good Heavens Kurtis, I thought your Grandson was doing this , you look so young with out the scruff.....Cheers, Paul
My younger brother Carl? 🤣
I'm sure it is Carl 👍😄
Yeah, that’s got to be Carl!
You must have gotten the dollar shave club sponsorship
I shave at least once a year whether I need it or not!
To have a face that young, and have the depth of knowledge inside that head, is an enigma. Kurtis is wise beyond his years. Really enjoy the videos, and thank you Karen for taking the time to make them.
This is literally, cutting edge engineering
The internet is mostly just crap. But just the fact that I can sit here at home on a Friday night and watch you do an excellent job on basically the other side of the globe is absolutely amazing! I never cease to be fascinated by seeing people with expert knowledge do their jobs. For you it's everyday, for me it's magic! Thank you for choosing to share your everyday life with us viewers! And that's a happy dog!
Torque spec for cutting edge bolts?
*Torque until the Cutting Edge is flat again*
Lmao I've literally done exactly that. Mini Cat loader (901 I think). Mole board was bent about the same as the one in this vid, but worn down thin so it could be straightened by bolting in a new egde lol
Man it’s 40 ugga duggas on a 1” impact then get a 6” snipe and give it a half turn.
I’ve just never seen washers put on them.
@@aaronpreston47 damn straight, 1inch gun for truck tires, many ugga/duggas and then the breakover and 6ft cheater bar and probably more of one push and done. Cat 926M wheel loader with a big ass bucket to load the auto dump feedbox at the feedyard.
Shoot forgot, no washers.
2:00am in the states! Been waiting for a new video all week!
Super fan right here 😎👊💥

"I'm outta wire!" *sudden tone that slowly fades off* For a second I thought it was just Curtis cussing up a storm and one long beep was the easiest way to deal with it.
That's what I thought, and then I remembered that this is the same guy who considers Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuckk fuckkk a complete sentence... :)
Abom79 would have made this video in 5 long winded parts. It so nice to have Kurtis explain what he’s going to do, and do it. No boring chatter. Oh, nice clean cut shave. You look about 10 years younger.
Customer states: “GPS controlled machine, accuracy is very important.”
Also: “I ran over bucket with machine.”
Lol typical. Maybe more like "new boy smacked the tracks with the bucket" tho I dunno.
Yea that is modern technology machine knew where to dig but not where its feet were
🤣🤣🤣
I figured it out! Karl is Kurtis' little brother! He's the one in this video 😁
🤣 shit Jim's on to us 🍻
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Hey the shirt I got from you showed up, it looks good and I look forward to wearing it in my little machine shop so I know who to blame for blowing a dimension 😅
@@jimsvideos7201 and Kurt/is do your dimensions in Bannanas as well as Metric, average the dimensions and that will be correct, lol.
Have not done one this big CEE, however it is all fun and takes time.
Cheers to all, John, Australia.
That's whose beer that was a few videos ago.
Shit who's the baby face apprentice.???????
Was wondering when you were going to get the hydraulic jack out to straight the bucket before welding. The wedge trick is so much better.
I'm sure its common practice in the industry but using a scrap of steel and a drift/wedge to close the gap between the bucket floor and new plate was super simple I had imagined chains and a come along winch....... that's why your the CEO....... very impressive 👏 👌
Yeah, me too! 😂 L shaped bracket and wedge is genius in it’s simplicity 👍🏻
Hi, Karen! Started watching and thought, "New camera? Different lighting? Something has changed!" Then it hit me, Kurtis is clean shaven. Gotta say, he cleans up pretty good. Another great video (especially the camera work).
I see that Homeless left his helicopter parked in the background again :)
He's such a show off 😂
Such a beautiful view of the skyline down under y’all have a great day I enjoyed the video
They use it to go get smoko lunch
Cool repair keep videos coming
That chopper belongs to kurtis but he is too shy to admit it.
I never had the luxury of getting to work in a shop when working on buckets. I was either on the barge or sitting in a mud puddle. We ran a 15 yard hard digging bucket and a 27 yard clean up bucket on the dredge. It was always fun building a tent around the bucket to get out of the weather. No wire feed either. Running stringers for days on end repairing cracks or welding adapters on. Now I'm all crippled up I just get to watch you do it. Great channel and great work.
Machine operators: "I'm surgical with this thing, could probably shave a man's face"
*Also machine operators: "give that boulder another slap with the bucket it might move"
Mr. IC Weld himself would be proud, good work as always Kurtis
Carbon arc gouging is a blast! When I worked as a railcar mechanic, there wasn't a bolt too big or too tight it couldn't loosen. Eventually I got one for my home hobby shop. Just be careful not to stick your leg with it while 'white hot'. It doesn't hurt too bad, and rarely bleeds. Love the video.
Now imagining you with a smouldering stump sticking out of singed jeans, with a facial expression of "C'est la vie"
Thanks for the giggles :D
Large scale industrial fit ups are always interesting to watch. I was wondering how you were going to align the material and it never occurred to me that you could just weld on a wedge point align and go. Educational and entertaining as always.
I guess that's no longer on your " BUCKET " list ! 😂
Dad joke for the win 🤣👍
Oh to have young knees again!
Beautiful job! It amazes me how far MIG welding has advanced. We would have never used MIG but stick welded it instead. Of course the machines have advanced leaps and bounds too. Sure beats an iron wheeled Hobart torpedo motor generator cranking 400v DC at 48 volts.
I like your breathing machine too. That smoke is full of bad nasties!
Cheers!

Great job! I worked in structural steel fab years ago. Compliments to the camera lady and to the safety officer(Homeless). You guys keep one clean shop. Really enjoy your videos
from Australia.
That was a hell of a lot of “Ooga Dooga’s” on that Impact! Kurtis says torqued to spec! That Arc Gouger is one scary bit of kit too
Wanted to also say “hey Karen, how are ya?” Loved that you left welding audio over the speed welding after the wire change 👍🏼
Morning Carl 😉
I can see that the dog ran straight past the wife to look at the 19 year old stranger who had a shave? 😃.
Regards to you three
As always

Hey mate! Yeah safety dog likes Carl the best 🤣
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Hi Their,yes strange thing, my wife's dog preferres me to, maybe it because I'm the one that gives him sneaky biscuits when she's not looking 😇🤫
Thought I had gone back in time as you looked so young with a shave and shine...
Nice repair
Nah can't go back in time til I get the flux capacitor fixed on the cnc milling machine
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering will it reverse mill? :D
@@tabajaralabs Nah, it will just mill at 88mph
Thank you for adding the voltage and amperage to the video! I was wondering the whole time how my Miller 211 on max would compare, about 40% more power and way more wire feed. Class act production
Congrats on the new intern. He sounds just like you!
Kimi Räikkönen is so versatile! 😀 Greetings from Finland!
Just call me the iceman 😂👍
Greetings! Just wanted to offer a little advice here when running into “arc blow” problems on metal that is magnetized. First off, I’m not going to lie and pretend like I have tons of experience with arc blow due to magnetized steel. I’m just a welder that’s kind of a nerd and likes to read up on all things welding. Next time you run into this, try running 2 ground clamps; One as close as possible to each end of the weld joint. This, in theory, will disrupt the magnetic field that is present and will allow the weld to deposit normally or closer to normal anyway. It’s worth a shot. Hope this helps. Keep up the good work. Love the content.
In the top 1% engineering content on utube (don’t want to upset the others) it just amazes me that you are that highly skilled both at welding and fitting and turning - these are two seperate expertises (made that word up) you rarely see blokes going from one to he other with his level of expertise - as always I,m in awe - nd as I keep saying your work is fairdinkum not some utube drivel for the sake of the vid - very proud Of you Aussie no nonsense get the stuff done way - also the video shooting and editing is top shelf. Cheers.
Kurtis, your wife and you live in a beautiful Country.
Your videos and your work are extremely satisfying to watch! It's enlightening to see how much effort and expertise goes into fixing these pieces of heavy equipment. Your pride in your work shows itself in the finished product. For the next Q&A can you tell us why you use the carbon rods for cutting vs. an oxy acetylene torch? Absolutely love your channel. Keep em coming!
Hey mate thanks for watching and the great comment. Will probably do a bonus video on that some time! Cheers
Oxy is so much more expensive and the rods are cheep and fast. not to mention he has to move a lot less tools.
3:00 am here in Paraguay
Good morning!!!
Hey mate good morning over there
I'll say it for ya Kurtis, "That ain't goin' no where!" Here in the states whenever you secure/weld something you gotta say that phrase. Nice work by the way. 👍🇺🇲
Same law applies here in aus for tying shit onto the ute
Way to go Kurtis, Love your videos! Give "Homey" some love from the states! Oh and your videographer needs a raise!
Cheers mate! She agrees and will probably give herself one as she does the pays haha
Hope the missus gets a respirator while filming. Keep up the awesome work!
Don’t you mean fart extractor?
Holy Moly!!!! The razor blades finally arrived after being out of stock since the beginning of the pandemic!!! LOL Looking good Kurtis.
Hey Kurtis, i am a german nondestructive inspection and work with NDT methods: visual testing, magnetic particle testing, radiographic, ultrasonic.
I like your work! I like the preparation and I love your welds.
I find it very interesting and instructive to see you at work. Thanks for that!! I also like your calm approach.
It would be an honor for me to check your welds at some point, if i'm traveling in australia.
Thank you for responding to my question about the gas mix ratios you're using from your last video!!! Greatly appreciated; it's always interesting to see if best practices are the same around the world, and appears to be the case. You folks do a lot more heavy welding than I have any experience at thought. That's one of the reasons I like your stuff; you never know what trick might come in handy down the road!! :-):-):-):-)
Shave looks good brother. You're not nearly as ugly as I thought after all......
Thank you...I think 😂
Never ugly with those expressive impressive big green gecko eyes! :-)
Kurtis is a handsome man.
And I'm sure Karen agrees.
@@alittlebirdie8085 He is a beautiful man and a champion engineer, and his drive & optimism is second to none.
Precision fork lift skills! Another excellent video.
24:14 Was a lovely transition from the end of the project to a beautiful sunset. Kurtis looks so young when clean shaven 😄! A nicely done production. Thanks to the three of you. 👍🏻🍻
I was stationed at a USAF base that supported Cape Canaveral in the ‘70s. There was on huge aircraft hanger that was entirely huge machine equipment; lathes, mills, brakes, and many things I couldn’t guess at. When I started watching your channel it took me back to watching those magnificent fabricators, machinists, and engineers who could make very nearly ANYTHING! Thanks for sharing your talent and letting me Re-live that sense of wonder.
Please explain something about the metal being magnetised and having to lay it flat.
Never heard of this before.
I'm assuming he's dealing with arc blow that is causing difficulty welding in the vertical position
Didn't understand the bit about magnetism. Never heard of that before!
I would also like to understand that part
Welding is an electrical process. Magnetism fucks up your arc. Makes the electrons wander all over the place.
@@lolzlarkin3059 why does laying down the piece help?
@@polyesterdreamboat Takes gravity out of the equation.
as someone who has had to battles bent wide buckets a lot of the time, this brings me a lot of joy
With all the detail you put in not surprised that you don't have jobs come back
“Generally our operators here abuse them” lol
Even though these machines are state of the art, allow one man to do the work of a 100, and be in an a/c cab listening to the radio while doing it, by the end of the day sometimes you just start to resent it. Some operators are great to the equipment, some take there anger out on it. A rock wont budge? Smash the bucket into it sideways 40x lol
You know its absolutely f***Ed when an excavator owner goes from "well make it work" to "we need to fix it" lol
You know most times the operator isn’t the owner. Operator was probably on the phone instead of paying attention while f-ing up a multi thousand dollar tilt bucket. You see these clowns every day abusing these machines that they could never afford themselves.
@@gonget without a doubt, but tbh I've seen plenty of owners abuse their machines just as much lol and let's be honest, "I bent the bucket on the track" is a greenhorn mistake, and touch wood something I've never done in 30 years of working
@@shaggyego greenhorn mistake, very greenhorn, I wouldn’t want to admit it
Best part of my week is upload day, Great job repairing and filming!
Cheers mate thanks for supporting the vids
Отличная работа! Perfect job!

1am in Alberta Canada, working Ambulance night shift! Thanks for the post!
Legend take care mate hope it's a good shift for you
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering 5 more hours to go, no calls so far so fingers crossed. One of the joys of working rural. Low call volume. So I often use my down time (after base duties and other tasks that need to get done) watching youtube videos like yours. Used to work in a fabrication shop as as their head electrician. We took cabs and chassis, and made welding decks, services bodies, fire trucks etc. Often had some odd and ends to do so I taught myself how to do some basic fabrication work. Though I'd let the certified tight guys do their thing when it needed to look pretty.
Thanks for the videos though!

"Customer's brought it in with a bit of a problem". In other words - It's munted.
Curtis I don't know how you do it but you seem to up your game every time. Wow to know metallurgy, welding, run that lathe like an artisan. Wow what a joy to watch. You are truly an example to young men everywhere if you have a dream then a lot of hard work, following the right people and going to the correct training and gaining experience (the most valuable skills training there is) will help your dream come to past. You are a product of tenacity, drive ,dreams and a lot of sweat and hard work! I salute you and wish you and your lovely wife (kudos to her for putting up with you🤣😁😇) but seriously to live the dream you got to get the bed, make it up and sleep as well as work, train and play! It takes it all to get there ! Congrats and best wishes always from the USA!
Kurt, I am really thankful you are inclined to share your expert take on rebuilding fab work you make it look easy but the years of training people never appreciate thanks for being on u tube for us to watch and learn.
24:07 - the always hard to please safety inspector, doing his job lol
Good job on the bucket. Your welds always look good and strong to me.
The work is “perfect” as well as the production value of the video. Y’all make a good team ! Of course the Inspector is the glue! Lol!
Hey Bob thanks mate!
I really appreciate the work, effort, and personal touches that you three contribute to this series, very much a fan.
I'm grateful that I don't hear that background trap beat in your other videos, that I am here; I'd rather hear Kurtis run the descaler, or homey with his squeak toy, honestly.
Thank you three for sharing.
CEE have great videos !!! The engineering is spot-on and videos are informative and the wrap-ups are funny as hell ! The 3 of you make this 68 yr old man happy, please don’t stop. Thank you
Yeah TGICEEF! Was really looking forward to this one. Have a nice weekend.
Hey Johannes hahaaa love the acronym. Busy week ahead going to enjoy Sunday family day before getting stuck into it 😎👍

My boy has done this before, surely. When you knocked off the tensioning L plate to release the pin, I was like damn thats pro. Even got the plate center the first time ;)
I must say I dont know any Aussies but you Sir are a cut above most people in the world. Hard working honest and just get it done. Hats off to you from America my friend. Keep moving forward and you will reap the rewards of your labors.
Thanks mate appreciate the comment 😎👍
It's a real treat and pleasure to watch you do these jobs, your explanation of the problems involved and the processes to rectify those problems really adds to it.
The camera work is awesome, as usual, the addition of FF insertions and continuation of the welding is very nice.
The "new, clean Kurtis" is definitely a plus, but surely any of the tough projects you take on will notice the difference.
The pooch is such a sweetie, I do love him, give him a hug for me.
Keep up the great work you three, I'm anxious to see another great production from C. C. E.
Clean cut!

Just finished welding for the day, showered, laid down and 💥, new video.
Good timing enjoy the vid
Well,the "black beauty" stole the show with his tug o war with the forklift. L M A O.
Very interesting project,I enjoyed it and your explanation of what plan you have to get er done.
Showing the different carbon rods and how they're used was interesting,you make it look easy,but the extra videos after prove it isn't always easy.
Well done camera tech,good shots of some exceptional welding.
Another job well done by the "Terrific Trio", keep up the great videos,I do enjoy them,thanks for going through all the work to share them.
Cheers,stay safe and well.
I drive trucks for a living but I have engeeniring background. I always watch at least 1 of your videos before bed time. I thoroughly enjoy it. I also miss the smell of the shop. You're doing grate job. All the best and keep doing what you doing 👍🏻
That is a beautiful chunk of steel. This is a real treat, seeing the process of putting a bucket back to rights.
Glad you enjoyed it mate will be sure to do some other heavy metal repair vids in the future 😎👍
Побрился, красавчик, вы молодцы ребята, так держать!!!
I find it very therapeutic to watch you do your incredible work. Not many people can say they can do anything even close to what you do. To be self-taught is the best thing ever.
Hey Kurtis 👍and his boss (Wife😊) I am watching this for the 3 rd time😏. I think the format and Quality of work, is why your videos are easy to watch. Much respect for the hard work your wife does producing CEE CHANNEL. People don't realize the time and cost of making these videos. We also get to learn welding from a master. I have done some welding, but I would be nowhere in your league. I see why you are busy. Quality machinists are hard to find. I pray for more success, and safety for your family and friends. You deserve it. God bless you guys👍😊

I used to make new buckets at Hensley Buckets....Mansfield TX....big or small we made em all 😉
Awesome mate 😎👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering takes ALOT of spools of wire to make a bucket....and your welds are not half bad 😉
Hi Kurtis and Mrs Kurtis. Love your work. Great to see the capability of a suitably skilled and motivated individual as compared to the lumbering might of corporations. 👍. What I’d love to see next is your cooking show. Cheers.
Awesome camerawork! The man is cut cleaner and leaner than skeeter's peter! Clean shave, clean work, outstanding job, Shave or not, I enjoyed learning another process. Thanks to you and the Mrs.!
Doing fine detail with a gouger is hard. That was impressive keeping the cut so straight. Which made it slick welding in that little steel plate 🤣
No chance you will using your truck to deliver. Like 10 times over load capacity.
Aussie engineering 👍🦘🇭🇲
Hey mate! Yeah I'm using 2 styles of gouging rods, the round one for digging out the weld then flat rods to help flatten and prep.
Gotta get him a hilux, check out whistlin diesels videos on his. It’s an absolute beast!
Why was it gouged in the first place and not being cut with Oxyacetylene or an Plasma cutter
@@Zertrebender he’s just removing the weld material rather than bucket steel aswell.
Great job so now when he pinches the machine treads again they will come off and the bucket will be fine
All right, now I understand why it's dark by the end of some of these.
Between the outtakes and Homeless, the work slows down, at times. But judging by how much fun youse are having, it's worth it.
That's actually my job to make those buckets up here in Canada!! I mean, a machine the attachment, quick attach, pin grabber, countersink the reversible blade, etc.. Keep up the good job!
Hey Kurtis! Love the channel and Homey! What was the deal with the replacement plate being near a magnet so you couldn't weld it in the upright position? I assume you are taking advantage of gravity in laying it down but why is that needed?
Thanks mate!
Really liking all the vids so far, especially the hydraulic pistons, rods and barrels.
As someone who repair quite a few buckets yearly this one had me wondering why? on several methods used.
Stuff that differ from the usual way i do it.
Removing old base edge, i take the oxy / acy x11 no4 nozzle and cut that one of..prob 30 min work for a bucket as clean / simple as that one.
I try to straighten the bucket floor if possible (crazy how most grading buckets turn up at the shop with the bottom hammered up in the middle).
I always try to get a good weld angle and never weld from bellow.
Why not getting the base edge holes counter sunk to save those nuts from wearing out when you got decent thicknes on the part?
Not saying my way is the way to go, i hope i don't come across as a know it all keyboard warrior asshole.
Well thats enough rambling from my part, and i hope i didn't mess up the English completly, since i am a Swedish Swede. /Emil.
So long story shorty.. you know of another more thorough way than this? I didn't think someone could be more impressive.
I know that you made this comment about a year ago. However, this tip is timeless: Try not to make everything about you. 😏

Great job as always, I very much love doing this kind of work

Proper way to check tie downs is to pull on them a few times after tightening, and declaring "that isn't going anywhere! "
😁
Thank you Curtis and Karen for creating this content. I have a little fabrication experience but on a much smaller scale and I learn something every time I watch your videos.
I'm curious how the orientation of the metal effects how the weld stick or not. If Curtis could clarify that'd be awesome!
The magnetism screws with the arc.
Kurtis, just a question. Why do you use gouging electrodes? Instead of a big plasma?
@Stanley Banks I bet my plasma is as quick. A cut 120, obviously 120 amps. I cut 25cm of 25mm plate straight, and prety clean in less than a minute. Well, i guess not everybody has something like this. I have never even seen gouging electrodes; so i don't know how they work.
@Stanley Banks Stanley, i do'nt want to go into a who's got the biggest, or heaviest equipement. Or what is best . I was just asking Kurtis about those gouging electrodes. I worked for those guys, ok www.masse-constructionsmetalliques.fr/constructions-metalliques-briancon on the aluminium windows side. But the workshops are next to each others! I was born in a similar type of businnes and seen a fait bit of metal when i was a kid. Work here in the winter. th-cam.com/video/tFVJQlnDkzs/w-d-xo.html I was aware of gouging electrodes. But i have never seen one in person. And realy thought it was kind of a thing of the past. May be different country, different customs.

You do really good work and you can tell you love your job and seem happy to go to work everyday. I was like that.i was a carpenter for 35 years. Now my body is all messed up. I can't do the heavy work anymore so now I do woodworking in my garage. It makes me happy to still be able to work with my hands and tools.
That was some clean gouging Kurtis, very nice. For those that haven't done that before, that's a hell of a lot harder than he made it look to do neatly. Spatter and slag like to go everywhere...
