Music is very subjective, to be honest I enjoy your videos but the loud headbanger music does take away from the content, they would be more enjoyable without it. Thank you for posting this video.
I would prefer to pressure wash the bucket good and clean. If your machine is powerful enough to damage the bucket I would of course weld up what needs repaired but I'd also reinforce that area of the side of the bucket where it meets the bottom inside with another layer of hardox. A new cutting edge might be in order and of course hard facing is always a must. I've worked in deep underground mines and ran muckers (loaders) and slushers and within months the rock wears them away to a thin state.
Thank you for the comment! I didn't had the washer there. This bucket is not getting so intense and hard usage. I think its ok for our needs for a while.
LOL, I fought through the music. If you noticed where you ground there was porosity in the metal, not good. I would not have chosen mig, stick is better and the gusset should have over lapped the joint imo so three welds had to be made 1 through the ground out crack joining the bucket to the gusset behind it, then weld the two outside edges of the gusset directly to the virgin area of the bucket. All this, JMO
@@AFHProjects I was referring to using the rotator in the end of the boom of the excavator and bucket curl to make all the welds in the flat position regardless of the location on the bucket. Good idea!
I'm not commenting to bash what your doing in your video. I'm just trying to help. You maybe in the market for a bigger machine, designed more for that type of work. Maybe a good used dc stick welding machine would be great for that type of work.
I had lots of problems with my feed and it was the spool I was using was too heavy for my machine also I was missing the tension spring so it would jerk. i almost lost my mind and trashed the machine but I took everything apart cleaned it and fixed issues. Now its like a new machine
@@AFHProjects 96/5000 The question is how strong it is, after all, when working with the tractor, the pressure of the bucket is 100 times stronger, and every blow that is made has a crack or a serious hole.
Den håller nog länge.. 😉 Måste köra med högre effekt, blir väldigt dålig inträngning att köra homogen tråd med kortbåge i så grovt material. Hade varit ett betydligt bättre val att köra med pinne, bottna med OK 48.00 och fylla med OK 33.80 😊
This seems like a job for some hot ass mig welds, or stick welding. Either way good job though. 👌 I have 1 year of welding experience (tig) and the welds look a lil cold, but it's a personal project so heck it. Haha.
Fail unfortunately. 1) No preheat. That job requires preheat. 2) Your mig welds looked to be too cold. Some of the weld looked like “rope” which is an indication of being too cold. 3) The huge crack on the side of the bucket needed to be drilled out BEFORE welding. You didn’t do that and just welded over the crack. It will crack again. 4) The music was terrible. My wife though the neighbors dog was in heat again.
Thank you! Good and professional story. One good thing about that if you upload a bad welding video is that you going to be a good welder after reading the comments. 😃 I think that weld was enough in that case. First couple welds are going to heat that thing up. I'm not a welder... but bucket works again. Trying to do better next time.
When welding thick steel, give it some preheat first. Will all cool at same time and have less chance of cracking.
Thats right.

Thank you for your feedback. I agree with you.
He got what he needed accomplished. He's not a pro welder. But It'll work for now.
If it cracks, he will make adjustments to his procedure. No need to leave rude comments. Tips and tricks are positive though.
Thanks! It's okay and works fine.
i would have put a new edge on it.
Yeah, soon it needs it.

If you preheat it, the welds will soak in a lot more evenly. Awesome job though
Use gas shielded fluxcore that stuff is super tough a lot better than hardwire
Thanks for recommending. I used what I had. Cheers!

Talk about the ultimate in weld positioners.......
Didn't understand....

I would have used stick for this process 💯👍💪🇺🇸 maybe the wire will hold ?
I agree, easier to weld outside too. It's still in good shape and works.
I love this process job
Thanks!
Turn your wire speed up.
It's full speed.

after you weld that how much co2 is to be strong?
I use mixed gas. co2+ar. Maby it was around 20l per second. Make sure that the wind is not blowing the gas away.

It's strong enough now.

Maybe yeah. I maxed out the welder here. I like the comments where people is telling the reason why they think it's crappy. So everyone can learn.
That mig ain't running right. Is it mucky metal or not set up?
I don't know. Sometimes the wind blew gas away but most weld looking good for me. I'm not sure what's wrong.
False hardox Smart repair...
I don't think any wielders own pressure washers, nor any restore it channels.
I didn't had the pressure washer near me.
Not a repair but a bandaid.....
most everybody post things and they good and they not , i'm sorry about my comment
mmm that weld doesn't look too great =O
Why do you think so?
Welding outside = porosity
No, if there is enough gas. There was a wind problem at some point, but I used wind protectors and all went well.
Why don't stick weld it?
I had then only a wire welder to use.
don't quit your day job and go back to school i weld for living and that crappy
I'm not a welder. Just doing my best to get that bucket fixed. But what I did wrong?
No offence to the guy. But that was rubbish. Can’t believe people can do shit like that and post it for everyone to see💪🏼💪🏼
The music junked another video 👎🏻💩

@@AFHProjects Good job. Keep posting amateur weld videos. We need something to cringe at back at the dry docks.
The music sucked.
Garbage music! I stopped watching at that point.
