The thought and knowledge you have is invaluable. People take for grated the job of a good welder. You should be teaching at the doctorate level, and getting paid an extraordinary amount. All knowledge accumulated from years of experience, techniques, and trial and error.
I don’t think you should ever stop you detailed explanations of the work you do. For most of us understanding your thought process, helps us in our own endeavors. Keep doing you please!! 🇦🇺
Coming from a fellow fabricator that makes money on the same types of repairs I very much enjoy your channel and if anyone says anything negative about what you're doing then they don't have enough understanding of fabrication to begin having an opinion. Thank you for sharing!!
Between you and Cutting Edge Engineering I've learned a lot!! Thank you for taking the time to post on TH-cam, you're very thorough and patient with your work. That's a lesson in itself.
I always think about how would I do it. I didn't think about turning it around. But I did think about drilling 4 windows and plug welding. I had good luck welding cast with a bronze rod. It was just for cast.
My thoughts were right there with ya. Would never have thought to flip, or the .035 spacer. Would have drilled one hole, beveled the host sleeve, hammered the old part back in and welded it that way. I'm glad I learned something!
Nicely done ISAAC! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ No keyboard commando can knock your work😉. Craftsmanship, Ability, KNOWLEDGE! I’m taken to school every time I watch you work!👍⭐️👍
Hi Issac, those non contact infrared thermometers can give erroneous readings due the surface finish changing from bright to dark, maybe look up "Emissivity". Excellent repair in short turn around. Thanks for sharing
Isaac you should never let comments from "arm chair quaterbacks" make you change the way you do things. I love to watch you work out your problems and proceed to address them. Your thought process is great. Hello ferom the Hill Country
Great example of a special repair application. Procedures do help with guiding that application. Thanks for allowing us to look over your shoulder on this job.
I did one, different manufacturer but when I did it, drilled 4 holes in the hub, plug welded it, welded the crown then slapped it in the lathe and got everything all nice looking. It is definitely a part where you look at it and wonder what the hell the manufacturer was thinking considering the abuse it takes so by overcomplicating things you compromise strength of the part. Other thing the splines like to do is roll over.
I watch your videos to see how you make repairs to different equipment in the event I run across something similar in the future. I also like to see what tools you use and how you use them. That being said, the utility of having a forklift seems invaluable. Load and unload, move heavy stuff around, flip/hold in place something you're repairing, and having a mobile work station that you can set to a comfortable height! Thank you for what you're doing for the welding community!!!
Between you and Curtis from CEE, I feel like I have all the knowledge one would need to start hands on learning! I realize that may sound crazy....I know the hands on is the where the work is done....but you all teach so well I feel like I would have an advantage over anyone who has not learned form you~ Great work as always and great engineering behind your work~
“ Weld done “ Isaac lol 😁 Man I’ve learned so much from watching You Sir , I really appreciate the time you take out of your busy day to make these videos and the time it takes to edit them 👍😊
I noticed cuts in the splines - looks like for a snap-ring / or spring-lock ? Closer to what used to be the outside edge / now the inside edge . Thanks again Give the dog a pet for me ;)
HA! You did it like you wanted, so that’s the way you did it. lol. A few holes around the edge and some plug welds might or might not make it stronger, but then would the splines wear out and then you are screwed and have to buy a new assembly. I like it. Keep up the good work.
Each and every video you post, teaches me procedures I never would have thought of. Your work ethic is top notch and your ability to teach us all in an understanding way is very much appreciated.
Isaac, thanks for sharing the hard earned knowledge with all of us.... I'm always amazed at how humble you are..."if I can do it, you can do it". Maybe not entirely true (in my case lol) .... but very inspiring. Thanks for the great content as always! You are the man!
Great videos and amazing set of skills! I also admire your bravery for using the Gerber multipliers on the job! I got too many blood blisters from when the handles close on my hand!
Interesting for me to see you use the dye penetrant inspection process. When I worked in an automotive speed shop/FAA repair station we used that process for aluminum parts. We had a Magnaflux magnetic particle inspection (MPI) on the steel. Nice job!
The differences in temperature that you are seeing the IR thermometer display are more likely due to the different emissivities of the surface areas (dark vs shiny, rough vs smooth, etc.) when the bulk of the metal is actually at the same temperature. Adjusting the emissivity setting to measure an accurate temperature is an inherent challenge when using IR thermometers.
I love this channel , Isaac always teaches me tips and tricks to make me a better welder , repairman and have more confidence in creativity and fabrication.
Thanks for the tip on a small gap between the splines and bottom shoulder. Love your attitude. If it was welded we can weld it and it's not a how to it's a how I did it. Many ways to accomplish the same task. Enjoyed watching as always. Keep up the good fight.
Another great video Isaac. I love the sound of the welding machine and the doves in the background. My father and uncles were all welders when I was young so I heard that sound a lot. Brings back memories. Thank you sir!
I spotted a ring clip groove. Is it important for holding the drive shaft securely? Interesting welding subject and great that a repair can be done. One of my own proudest welds was on the lower frame of an expensive office chair - Had nothing to lose by trying. My repair worked.
@ My Cancer Journey my neighbor just got done with treatments for stage 4 ovarian cancer and I saw what she went through. Luckily they got all of it. Good luck and take good care of yourself.
It occurred to me, Isaac, that Takeuchi will place a copy of this video in their service archives as a definitive reference to the "How Best Do It" repair section. Your humble almost self-effacing style cannot detract from the fact that you are a metallurgical wonder worker. I fully concur with the comment by stowers157 below.
Hi Isaac I’m a new subscriber and I love your attitude towards any kind of work. You have helped me through a tough time in my life where I really struggled with anxiety, I am a welder fabricator 25 years time served and I lost my dad who I worked with and for for a long time and i really struggled when I lost him, but you really have helped me getting through things and I am starting a new job next week, so hopefully things are moving forward for me. Thanks again Chris UK
Sorry for the loss, I can imagine its hard to get back on the horse. Just as with anything else, take baby steps until you are more comfortable working towards a faster pace. Gotta keep moving forward no matter how small of step. its still forward progress,. You can do it, keep it up.👍
It’s awesome how you work through these problems gradually allowing the best solution for the situation reveal itself. I know it’s not that easy but I hope you know what I am saying. As usual this repair turned out better than factory!
As you mentioned before, I love the sound of the motor as the welding plant gets itself up to speed under load. Nice job and hope that the customer is a little less aggressive with the machine !
love the mindset of if i can do it you can do it and if someone else welded it it can be welded just gotta figure it out. All it takes sometimes is giving it your best shot.
You are the best metal worker I have ever seen you remind me of my father he was really good he taught everybody the heliarc welding when he came out of the navy after pearl harbor where he got hurt and they put him out so Ford motors hired him to go from Texas to teach there workers how to do it because at that time there were only three guys in the navy new how to do it and gotta ask you what Indian tribe are you from I am creek my self
@@ICWeld well don't matter your one hell ofa welder for sure some good tricks and skills my daddy was the best I ever seen but you are a lot like him in personality too so I love to watch you and your son great stuff hope ya make millions
Love these repair videos, they help me learn so much. Could you do a short video on pre and post heat one day? Always something I've wanted to learn more about for when I need to use it. Keep up the great work!
Superb! TY! ... 500 hours from new? Ahem! And it got past QC? That sleeved yoke would be taking enormous loads considering the diam. of that bolted base. Reckon the IC Weld ( better n JB Weld) will last for 2000 hours but fail it will--steel has limits ! ( Loved the tip on the expansion and wire) Muchas!
My way which may be wrong ,drill 4 holes crosswise near the bottom of the spline to plug weld the insert giving support at the bottom along with what you did. Good luck!!
Very interesting repair. I'm sure those machines vibrate and self-destruct quite often. BTW, infrared thermometers are notoriously inaccurate on shiny surfaces. A contact thermometer might give more accurate readings. Thanks for the excellent video.
Nice job as always, Im no welder but I do a little bit here and there usually fixing things I've broken! your videos really help me think about how to tackle the jobs. Thanks :)
I heard that cutting 2 v notches down the length of the tube 180 degrees apart .. a good way down the pipe will help this .. leaving a gap and lot resting it on the cut another great idea
Isaac, a laser thermometer will give you varying readings when used on shiny metal surfaces. The only way to get an accurate reading across the varying surface finishes is to spray it with flat black paint (which will dry instantly) before measuring. Just a tip.
Working with glass, they put finished pieces in a kiln. It's heated to a certain temp and let cool gradually. Usually overnight. It's called annealing. Otherwise, the glass can crack or even explode from internal pressure. That's kind of what you're doing with the heat blanket, just less precise. I like your videos. Cheers
The only should of comment i can say is. You should of removed the comment capability. You are a master at welding. I learn everytime I watch. Thank you
Nice job as always! Was kinda surprised that you didn't drill a couple of holes thru the sleeve and put a couple rosette welds to ensure it will never spin in there again. Also Kudo's to you for having the guard on your grinder!....especially with the cut off wheel. I see so many talented fabricators who take the guard off like dumbasses. MANY people have lost fingers doing that.
So 500 hours, spline weld breaks on part's hub, and company already changed design because "common point of failure". Would have given customer new hub, unless the customer was clearly abusing the planer (Ironwolf). Bad business but glad you saved the day!
This is right up Curtis at Cutting Edge Engineering alley. welds up the inside, machine it back to spec, trim the spline a couple 1000ths, freeze the spline in liquid nitrogen and presto it pops in. No welding. Isaac is doing a quickie fix to get his customers back running but eventually they will need a replacement. You do what you gotta do best you can with what you got.
I'm by no means a professional, more of a farm welder but I really thought you'd put a couple of plug welds but your bad welds are much better than my great welds so I'm guessing it's better than new!
I'm pretty sure it is stronger than when it was new. I also was wondering about the snap ring groove on the inside? No complaints from me, I can't weld much of anything any more because of tremors really bad. Getting old sucks but better than the alternative!
@@lloydprunier4415 I read on through all the comments last night and I've seen what I see talked to the owner of the skid steer and he said it was fine to be turned upside down that he did not have to use the groove
Interesting to read the comments. Nobody suggested welding it and turning it back to size after line boring the hole. Three thousands over and press in. Guess the customer didn’t want that bill, tho.
We work with penetrant and revealer testing and is very important to use gloves with the penetrant stuff.. it goes thru skin also.. and it has some nasty chemicals in it
40 years in aviation and every time dye pen showed their to be a crack people would say get a magnifying glass and see if you can see a crack. If it can soak up dye you can see a crack!
@@haynillesen sure but if what is putting into motion goes wrong and the operator does not realize it could mess the whole system up, was just a thought im just semi knowledgeable on heavy equipment workings.
@@haynillesen Honestly its hard to say could be easier to manufacture it or could be designed to break if there too much put on it. He did say its a skid steer running a mulching head, which is the most extreme attachment.

Good explanation of leaving the gap under the part for expansion. Appreciate the information.

I think it was designed that way as a fail safe, to prevent damage to the hydraulic system, similar to a sheer pin.
hydraulics already have a fail safe

@@f0rumrr As a sheer pin it is a strange place to put it, in my opinion it is too weak , bad welded or not in line
