Whatever you charge it is not enough. A machine that size being down and repaired in the field saved that company a boat load. Your skill is amazing. Waiting for your next video. Adios
Can you imagine what the "tow bill" would be just to haul it who knows how far to a Cat dealer? And then theyd prob want to replace the whole track runner on that side at an exhorbent cost (and probably weeks of downtime too). I really feel like this is one of those jobs, you quote your rates, then triple it just for the lifesaving effort you delivered to the operator of that machine, and it would still be well worth it to them, and cheaper.
@@JasonJonesPhotography not necessarily. I work for a CAT dealership and we have a field welder/line bore guy. Yes, he would prefer to do it at the shop but can easily accomplish it in the field.
@@SuperSecretSquirell Poppycock! Your CAT employed line bore guy would look at that and say "Piece of cake, that's easy" even if he did say that and fix it easy he'd be an anomaly to say the least. The above comments are not far off from my experience.
These kinds of repairs are always done in the field! It's very common. Do you think he should deliberately overcharge the company because they're rich? I'm sure he charges what he deems his skill is worth.
He's not just a welder. He's managing to encompass a couple of trades in that on-site machining process. Kudos to him and sincerely hope he demands what he's worth for that type of work.
Yep he's good at what he does... however there are a lot of guys doing what he does and at the level he's doing it. It just takes a lot of experience and money for the tooling.
It's not that unusual when you work on a construction site everyday with heavy equipment like this running around. There always seems to be one guy on every job that is bad ass at fixing very broken shit.
@@jerrycann6374 Me too, for CEE. I recall that video where he's setting up this rig...Sir Meccanica and a CAT789 part and that IC needs one of these...but actually doesn't!
I worked as a millwright and I had a shift partner like you, he could fix almost anything with a welding machine, awesome talent, enjoyed the vid, cheers!
As an industrial electrician I've had the pleasure of working with a few welder/fabricators like yourself, and even at 72 , I never get tired of watching this kind of craft-art work. Very nice job Sir.
I enjoy watching a man at the top of his game. I always wonder how the hell did things get this bad before they decided to fix it or even discover it. But then I always remember I have a really good business as you do because of these circumstances.
I can't wait to show my 75 year old father this. He use to work for Lincoln Electric and has been in the welding / fab field for a LONG time, he'll really enjoy seeing a true master like you. Very nice work.
Man, I have so much respect for the way you are working. I've seen TH-camrs with huge shops and all the tools you can possibly imagine and still are not as creative as you are or as determined as you are to get the job done. You have yourself a new subscriber because you are a joy to watch.
Dear gawd! I was a recent graduate (1965) of the Royal Canadian Navy's Engine Room Artificer program, working after my hitch release for Hafer Tool and Fabrication co. in Victoria B.C. I was approached by them to perform that exact process to a mine shaft elevator headstock pulley shaft at Morphee Lakes in the B.C. interior. The multiple ladder/landing climb up to that shaft was bad enough but having to hand haul the equipment and a power cord up there at the end of 150' of rope was exhausting. Performed the job, reassembled the headstock and assisted the mine workers to re-string the elevator cables then waited on site for an inspector to approve the elevator for operation. Got a heck of a bonus cheque for that job and had all but forgotten about that nightmare operation until watching your vid. My back started aching all over again! Nice job.
It's always nice to watch a pro at work. You can tell how much of a pro they are by how easy they make the job look. I'm sure that you are in high demand due to your talents. Thank you for a great video.
Thank you for making this video. I can almost hear the conversations, before you arrive on site "This is major!" "Don't worry, I'll call a fellow that I know." "He can fix anything, stand back and watch, there's always the danger that you might learn something" I always learn new tequniques by watching your videos; Great work.
I follow Isaac's channel and Kurtis from CEE and it is amazing to see these two professionals work. One in the field (mostly) and one in the shop. Both with the same skill set and half a world apart!!
I couldn't believe this! That is not normally a field repair! In addition to being a top notch welder this man is a contortionist, reclining in a cat-like position underneath the part. On top of it, the video is excellent and one can really learn from it. Thank you, Isaac!
I an an accountant by profession but I've always been fascinated by work such as this. I do get my hands dirty in the evenings and on weekends repairing things but this is high level stuff to me. The setup and wrap up look to be rather time intensive. Nice work, sir.
MASTER Isaac, you my friend, are amazing. Everybody knows you can fix anything and could be why some things get to that point of damage. You are truly, one in a million.
I haven't watched a Boring Job that wasn't Boring at all in quite a while. Thanks for sharing. Those line boring tools are very useful, once they're setup they work wonderful.
I was impressed by the method used to extract the broken end of the holding bolt...welding up the middle of a piece of pipe in that circular motion...First Class !
Just love to watch you work. In Australia we have Cutting Edge Engineering who does in shop excellent work including line boring and now we see you doing it on your back in the dirt!! A privilege to be with you on site.
Excellent bolt removal technique , a well earned 'that's so cool' . One to store away for the inevitable rainy day. As always, a pleasure to watch and learn , come away feeling a bit smarter every time. Thanks for your time.
It’s a pleasure watching and learning from such a skilled craftsman. I had no idea one could repair damage like that in the field. Just a fantastic job!
Its funny how while I was watching his bolt removing technique, I started thinking how if this would have worked on the video where you drilled out the broken and stuck bolt and then finding you in the comment section.
Always amazed, impressed and wowed by what you are able to fix. Removing broken bolts, welding in different positions and then using a tool to actually machine a circular bore in the field . Very impressive and cool.
What I love is that he'll include some basics right beside the high-level repairs. If nothing else - now we all know what type of dog is required to 'supervise', which I didn't know before!
Amazing, ISAAC! Dress right dress workmanship! Can’t believe the in the field machining you did! WOW! Fantastic job! I’m sure the customer was extremely satisfied with the work you performed and the boatload of cash he saved! Well done BROTHER! ⭐️⭐️👍⭐️⭐️
Amazing field repair. I am always impressed by your work ethic and your bag of tricks. Damn few real repair guys operating in this world with your level of expertise.
Very nice job. Lineboring is one of those things that you don't understand is important until you try to put something together that should have been bored but wasn't. "Hey, that pin doesn't go through right!" Great video!
Thank you again Sir you do amazing work. My father was a Millwright in a steel mill for 36 years. His department maintained a cold drawn seamless tube draw bench. One of two in the world at the time. It could produce seamless high pressure steel tubes up 12" od and 40' length. He would have loved your videos. Have a good day.
Your vids hit so much closer to home now that I'm the welder for a heavy truck and equipment rental company.. Get crazy stuff like this in daily, amongst the many, MANY jacked up buckets and other attachments coming in off rental. Why do they rent, cause it ain't theirs.. Job security at its finest.. Good work brother.
As a machinist & instructor of the trade I always advise students to take welding courses also here at our community college. I am very proud of you IC weld & CEE Australia for having very interesting & educational YT channels. Keep up the good work.
Wow. Great fix! I literally yelled out loud with amazement "No way" when that bolt started turning out of there. I would say luck...but it's obviously skill.
Wow, your skills are amazing! I really enjoy your videos. You are a great teacher! Very patient and you have a good sense of humor. Blessings to you and your family.
I have got to the stage with your videos now that I wait for you to describe and show the problem and then pause and make a note of how I think you will proceed. I am getting closer but you still never fail to amaze me. I have not seen the weld the inside of the pipe to the bolt head trick before but as always, one more trick I can add to my rapidly growing skill set. The other thing is that you do all this in the field, come what may and do it so damn well. Your skill set is awesome and your videos are the best learning tool out.
Absolutely fascinating to watch... mind blowing watch you build that destroyed threaded socket for the regular bolts using the brass... then that portable lathe using the bore of where the wheel was going to go to center the cut with that portable lathe? Fantastic stuff. You handle it all so swiftly and masterfully... You are a master at your Art... and with you... it is an Art. Thanks so much for sharing. Bravo!
Amazing repair, as always. Looked worse for wear at the start, was intrigued how you'd approach it. Must say, you didn't disappoint! Joy to watch, can't wait to see more.
Giving it a thumbs up for the bolt extraction technique alone. I never would have thought of that. Definitely keeping that in the back of my head for the next time I need to do that.
WOW! Another great video! You never fail to educate and awe me with your skill and knowledge! I retired after 32 years as a Nuclear Grade Steamfitter Weldor LU 598 Pasco Washington. I did some Pipeline Welding in my youth also for Banister Pipeline Co. I use to see heavy line mechanics working on broken Sideboom Cats in all conditions Rain Snow Dust Heat my hats off to guys like you Sir god bless and keep you safe!
Good lord, my jaw dropped a little when that sleeve stuck in the slot you machined all on its own. Talk about a perfect fit, in the field no less. Nice work.
A portable, weld-on lathe... pretty cool stuff, I had no idea there were such things. I'd have thought the whole thing would've been taken to a machine shop, with a milling machine or something. That's amazing work.
That process has been around for as long as there's been rotating parts within fixed housings. Knowing how to use it is a whole 'nuther thing entirely. He's good at it.
Kurtis does the easy stuff. He machines, he welds. He doesn’t deal with the parts on the machines, he even whines when they are dirty. Isaac just does the job, and gets them running.
@@madjimbo4176 To be fair, shop repairs are normally done at a better quality than field repairs. I can’t blame him on the dirt, it’s got to be clean to work on it
@@madjimbo4176 you really can't down play either when both are at the top of their game. I don't blame Kurtis for bitching about people not even taking the time to clean stuff before taking it to him At least they don't whine and complain about every little thing like abom does 😂
I’m amazed by the work you do! That whole process!! Just imagine what you saved that company! And how you made that “lathe” in place!!!! WOW. JUST WOW!!
Unbelievably fun to watch. Watching you work is like Zen Meditation for me. Seeing a Master work his magic on something so complex in the field and make it look easy. I just enjoy that so much....especially in a world filled with fools who are in charge of everything and driving us off the edge of existence. Thank you so much for this!
I worked on heavy equipment for 40 years witch included having a lot of welding and line boring done. Your work is as good or better than anyone I have worked with. Very good job.
I wish we could have seen the line boring set up real-time. You must have used that fancy caliper to fine the center. Thanks for making these videos. They are so much fun to watch.
Yeah, I'm not sure how he lined it all up, but how I would have done it (In Isaac's own words "It might not be the right way to do it, but it's how I'm going to do it"), I'd have bolted on the caps and used the bores on them to indicate my centers, there may need to be a preload or gap, so might need to shim them out a touch.
Brilliant repair you saved them a fortune and that Linebore machine is a great piece of kit to have in your tool kit your skill at welding is like an art great job .
Just the other day I welded a tube onto a sheared off bolt like you first showed us a year or so back on the gantry crane.. Like damn it worked! Thanks again for showing us another great repair.
Pure craftsmanship experience and talent doing real work - it’s the best - we all thank you for taking us along - noted CEE comments you are both top notch from across the globe - you redeem utube.
I'm continually amazed at what you achieve - quite remarkable - great bolt removal trick and the line boring - well, that is something else. And as so often, this is all out in the field. :)
Wow that stuff never ceases to amaze me..I assisted an old fellow many years ago do a similar repair on an upright mast, mount on a 50 thousand lb forklift. long before we had the video advantages we do now. It is now and was then a marvel to me . thanks for the video. Well done
Sure I repair things at home in the shop. Amazing skills plus repairing it in the field alone with just a service truck. People just don’t understand the talent and dedication to the service industry. Keep posting when you have time. Great quality work. Minnesota USA.
I've been doing mechanic and maintenance work for 25+ years, I did not know that was a thing, the line borer, that is. Very interesting, I thought you were going to "machine" it with the gas axe!
I've never seen the pipe welded to a bolt, then heat it up and use a pipe wrench.. until I C.. I could have used it on my Jeeps suspension and now will use it whenever I break a bolt off. Thank you I C.
I've been following Kurtis at CEE, great channel, now I'm glad to say I've subscribed to your channel. I love watching men working the trades. Good job
Thank you for bringing me along, I have learned a lot from you, removing broken bolts by welding a piece of pipe on that way saved my bacon several times already like you said works every time !! Pretty much thank you for sharing one of your secrets well almost secret. Nice work on the D-9 . you shure can lay down or up some good Lookin beads . looking forward for the next repairs I enjoy watching and learning from you !! Thank you sir !!!
Thanks for sharing. Very interesting. Excellent craftsmanship. First time I have seen you use the line bore machine. Look forward to your next video. Thanks from Stanbridge East Qc Canada.
It's pretty rare I work on a bolt big enough I could fit a welding rod through a pipe to weld, but it'll definitely be a trick I file in my mental rolodex!
Loved watching that! I've spray welded build up on some tractor shafts and then turned new dia. And then later in life at boat building, I line bored the main engine shaft in custom machined bronze bearings, struts and stuffing boxes. Also line bored the rudder post in the same manner. I used a 20' 1 1/4" bar stock for my tool holder with a 3/4 hand held drill. Yeah, that was some torque. Had a kid at the other end turning a screw for my feed. Love your line boring machine.
Whatever you charge it is not enough. A machine that size being down and repaired in the field saved that company a boat load. Your skill is amazing. Waiting for your next video. Adios

Been hanging out for this video! I think the customer got his moneys worth out of that part 🤣 Top notch repair mate as always 😎👍
You can learn something from anyone, but you can learn a *lot* watching this man work.

Was just going to comment how I'd seen this type of repair on your channel... You're both top notch in my book!!!
Welding an extension to a buried broken bolt from the inside of a piece of pipe is something I never thought of. Great technique.
That qualifies as a pretty damn incredible field repair.
This required more tooling and time of course, but that trailer king pin repair he did was incredibly difficult and awkward compared to this repair.
@@opendstudio7141 where is that video? I don’t see one.

I think once that idler bearing piled up it didn't take long to eat that out, perhaps just a couple hours
I can't wait to show my 75 year old father this. He use to work for Lincoln Electric and has been in the welding / fab field for a LONG time, he'll really enjoy seeing a true master like you. Very nice work.

I just enjoy that so much....especially in a world filled with fools who are in charge of everything and driving us off the edge of existence.
Thank you so much for this!
Thanks for the new video from the master! Really enjoy watching and learning
I worked on heavy equipment for 40 years witch included having a lot of welding and line boring done. Your work is as good or better than anyone I have worked with. Very good job.
Thank you
I wish we could have seen the line boring set up real-time. You must have used that fancy caliper to fine the center.
Thanks for making these videos. They are so much fun to watch.
Yeah, I'm not sure how he lined it all up, but how I would have done it (In Isaac's own words "It might not be the right way to do it, but it's how I'm going to do it"), I'd have bolted on the caps and used the bores on them to indicate my centers, there may need to be a preload or gap, so might need to shim them out a touch.
Always loved the lineboring process, we had a bucket linebored in the quarry few years ago, very interesting, great video respect from the 🇬🇧
Absolutely amazing repair in the field. True professional of his craft.
Brilliant repair you saved them a fortune and that Linebore machine is a great piece of kit to have in your tool kit your skill at welding is like an art great job .
Welding isn't an art, its a skill.
Absolutely love watching your videos. Your skill and knowledge are impressive.
Just the other day I welded a tube onto a sheared off bolt like you first showed us a year or so back on the gantry crane.. Like damn it worked! Thanks again for showing us another great repair.
Great job. Those needle scalers are a lifesaver.
Pure craftsmanship experience and talent doing real work - it’s the best - we all thank you for taking us along - noted CEE comments you are both top notch from across the globe - you redeem utube.
I'm continually amazed at what you achieve - quite remarkable - great bolt removal trick and the line boring - well, that is something else. And as so often, this is all out in the field. :)
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow that stuff never ceases to amaze me..I assisted an old fellow many years ago do a similar repair on an upright mast, mount on a 50 thousand lb forklift. long before we had the video advantages we do now. It is now and was then a marvel to me . thanks for the video. Well done
That was an interesting adventure, looking forward to the next one.
Sure I repair things at home in the shop. Amazing skills plus repairing it in the field alone with just a service truck. People just don’t understand the talent and dedication to the service industry. Keep posting when you have time. Great quality work. Minnesota USA.
I definitely want to see this. You have a professional attitude about your work.
I know absolutely nothing about this type of work but it was fascinating to watch.
A master of his craft.
That broken bolt removal was ingenious I will pass it along. The build up and align boring was on the money!
I've been doing mechanic and maintenance work for 25+ years, I did not know that was a thing, the line borer, that is. Very interesting, I thought you were going to "machine" it with the gas axe!
He might have been off by a couple thou if he used the gas axe
The pipe to get the broken bolt out and welding inside it, brilliant. Every video you do I am amazed yet again. Thanks for sharing what you do
I've never seen the pipe welded to a bolt, then heat it up and use a pipe wrench.. until I C..
I could have used it on my Jeeps suspension and now will use it whenever I break a bolt off.
Thank you I C.
You Sir, are a very talented and superb craftsman. Give yourself a pat on the back . I hope your customers appreciate your work
If his channel was Pulp Fiction, Isaac would be the Wolf.
I've been following Kurtis at CEE, great channel, now I'm glad to say I've subscribed to your channel. I love watching men working the trades. Good job
Welcome aboard!
Welcome to my World! I didn’t know you did line boring. Tedious, painstaking precision work, but it pays good.
Thank you for bringing me along, I have learned a lot from you, removing broken bolts by welding a piece of pipe on that way saved my bacon several times already like you said works every time !! Pretty much thank you for sharing one of your secrets well almost secret. Nice work on the D-9 . you shure can lay down or up some good Lookin beads . looking forward for the next repairs I enjoy watching and learning from you !! Thank you sir !!!
Glad to help
Well done! There's a joke in here somewhere about getting to work lying down in the shade. :)
You’re not a welder. You sir are an artist! I love your work. Really enjoy watching your channel.
very cool love seeing the techniques
That bolt removal trick was sweet ... Ive never seen that done on something so big.
You are the man!
That was super interesting, thanks for posting!
Thanks for sharing. Very interesting. Excellent craftsmanship. First time I have seen you use the line bore machine. Look forward to your next video. Thanks from Stanbridge East Qc Canada.
Oh, man 😎 just right before bed time I love it 😎
It's a pleasure to watch you at work. Excellent job
That’s the first time I’ve seen that method of removing a broken bolt from a blind hole. I’m definitely going to use that trick in The future.
Side note. If the bolt is broken at an angle, try and cut the tube to match the bolt shape. that way you dont accidentally weld on the threads.
@@ICWeld I think that could be more important as a critical note than a side note.
It's pretty rare I work on a bolt big enough I could fit a welding rod through a pipe to weld, but it'll definitely be a trick I file in my mental rolodex!
It would have been awesome to see the driver reaction to your work.Anyway you're awesome as alway,keep it coming my man
Very nice work you are a master!
Loved watching that! I've spray welded build up on some tractor shafts and then turned new dia. And then later in life at boat building, I line bored the main engine shaft in custom machined bronze bearings, struts and stuffing boxes. Also line bored the rudder post in the same manner. I used a 20' 1 1/4" bar stock for my tool holder with a 3/4 hand held drill. Yeah, that was some torque. Had a kid at the other end turning a screw for my feed. Love your line boring machine.
