Bobcat Skidsteer Axle tube repair

[@Gyppor]

That weld underneath the tube with the 90 degree bent electrode, wow!!!! Amazing work.

[@57WillysCJ]

I would like to see a better video of that. That is one I have never come across before. Never ocurred to me to bend one.

[@armandorios6668]

repair with a bent electrode and a mirror to look under the spindle that is at another level great job Isaac

[@justgetrinthere]

I braze refrigeration piping several times with bent sil fos sticks Never thought about bending electrodes to 90* to reach a weld underneath Definitely thanks for tip

[@mikegriffith8730]

And he's probably laying down a weld 10 times better than my best. Awesome work!!

[@corydriver7634]

Whoa! That mirror weld with a bent welding rod-pure genius. Had you practiced this technique before or did you just go for it?

[@CamMacMastermusic]

3 days later …. I’m still here binge watching this channel. Thank you for all the lessons. I’m hopeful that sometime you’ll talk about the financial aspects of the job. Thank you.

[@MatanicFabrications]

Love this idea

[@keithficke9250]

I can see you have a lot of training

[@robertmills3554]

WOW! Mirror welding around the corner. That’s impressive! Thanks for showing those clips.

[@revert2625]

That was indeed the toughest of tough! It’s all about the word “can!”

[@rugerfarming5387]

That looked like a tough one to do. Looks like it turned out good. I love watching your videos. You Sir are a Pro and worth every penny you charge. Hats off to you and your son.

[@dougsweldingfabrication953]

Unless you're a welder, you have no idea how difficult this kind of repair is. You have serious skill brother. I love the videos and am so happy to see you passing along your knowledge. Thank you

[@scowell]

Man, that's some real get'er done there! I just gained a new respect for stick.

[@edwarddavis507]

Really neat “mirror weld.” That’s a neat trick!

[@PaulAsselstine]

Excellent welding!

Amazing stick work

[@terrminatoragain461]

Holy smokes,what a place to try and get into Thanks for the video

[@accomplishedauto3815]

Bending the rod and then using a mirror - Genius! I would have never thought of that - That’s what makes you “That Guy”.

[@sixtoes2313]

Bent rod welding. Cool !

[@Motorizeify]

Back in the Kodak days / MeTube. Thanks for sharing, awesome.

[@tuckersimes4108]

If anyone can do those really really tough jobs after watching you for a few yrs. I have to put my money on you great work.

[@marionstorm9004]

Back axle, down in foot square tunnel filled with oil, chains, and sprockets and your and using a mirror to see where you're welding. 🥺 And your welds still look perfect! 👏👏👏👏 I've seen BobCat techs torch 4x5 inch holes in the ends of that chain case for much easier access to internals. They would re-purpose a common transmission inspection cover plate by drilling & tapping holes in the thick metal chain case to make it a re-uasable access hole. 👍

[@James-fs4rn]

👍 with all those right angles it has to be right😅. Nice!

[@ICWeld]

Three lefts make a Right!😄😄😄

[@jamesa7506]

[@jjinak396]

Mirror welding!!! Next level!!! Great job!!!

[@patrickradcliffe3837]

Brutal access for the weld.

[@williamlewis9350]

Fortunately you didn't know that making this repair under those conditions was impossible. Nothing short of amazing.

[@richardbaumeister466]

I Love your innovation by bending that rod like that and welding under the axel. Wow what an idea!

[@hank5655]

Excellent Wielding I love the use of a mirror in welding the unseen!

[@cameronmanly2441]

I would love to see more tricky repairs, you are giving us 25 year olds some good info

[@allistairc123]

Brilliant video as always buddy! I got myself a broken bobcat and fixed it up I cheated!

[@McNeillWelding]

I could have sworn I commented on here last night telling everyone to check out your repair video! Still blown away by how you fixed yours haha.

[@johnfry9010]

Welding in the Box and thinking Outside the Box , very cool repair !

[@deanl2427]

What a fantastic repair! WOW! That was tricky to the extreme. Nice job, stay safe.

[@pkav8tor]

Can't beat repeat business, even when it is down in a hole. Thanks for sharing!

[@garybaughman7099]

WOW! Isaac you are the man! That’s incredible!

[@regsparkes6507]

I smiled to myself when I saw those three Bobcats in and around the garage, I thought, " how appropriate". About as reliable as a Kubota!

[@jmwarden1]

Have you ever watched any of Andrew Camarata's videos and seen his comets on how they are built, I think he got rid of all of his, and now has a TL10 and aTL12 Takeuchi.

[@russellfreeburn6284]

Mirror welding, great skills brother

[@htownblue11]

My gosh that looked like a challenge. Talk about threading a needle….impressive.

Mighty fine work.

You are AWSOME. You can sure make things look easy. But years of experience great job

Thats a good weld for Mirrow welding , everything is backwards tight spot, See Ya

[@MrIgottadrive]

Stuff like this I wish you do a voice-over. I really enjoy your channel. The work you do is awesome.

[@carloskawasaki656]

Thank you, i learn a lot when i watch uour video and always a pleasure ,awesome👍👍👍👍

[@tomc2748]

Watching you reach into that opening with the bent electrode reminded me of the operation game trying to remove the funnybone😁

[@mikepaul3959]

Years ago I thought there was nothing worse to work on than forklifts. Then they invented skidsteers and mini-excavators. No room to do anything. Amazing that you even attempted this repair much less did it so well!

[@74willy81]

I often wondered how often you had to pull a rabbit out of a hat like that. Wonder no more. Absolutely fantastic!!!

[@ICWeld]

I have hundreds of pictures of some pretty interesting repairs. unfortunately I wasn't able to video many of them. If there's enough interest, I can make video collages similar to this. Maybe I can combine a couple of projects to make the videos a bit longer so it would be worth the time to sit down and watch. Lets see what the comments say. 😊

[@AlwaysBored123]

@@ICWeld Do a live stream and talk about the repairs as you flip through the pictures.

@@ICWeld Any length of your video is worth the time to watch. Thank you for sharing!

[@74willy81]

@@ICWeld Don't feel you need to come up with a certain number of minutes of video time to make it worthwhile. Do what you think is right and it will definitely be worth our time to look over your shoulder. Been welding for well over 50 years and even at 72 I still enjoy learning, the journey doesn't stop. Well at least not until they nail the lid shut. LOL

[@jamesa7506]

@@74willy81 they better weld it shut and check my pockets for grinders!

[@skipwaelty3974]

Amazing considering the conditions

[@jmwarden1]

Isaac, that was some tough welding that most would not have attempted, another job well done

[@BobOtto-PlantDr]

This is some seriously challenging work! Wow!!!

[@tomyousch7070]

Issac, you must have been helping a really good customer , trying to build a customer base, or really hungry to take on that project. But it looks pretty good from my view. Thanks for the old home movies we appreciate them and you.

Wow for the access you had that was an excellent job 👍

[@matthewanderson7766]

What a badass welding under at a 90 wow awesome job

[@howder1951]

You are "the man".

[@mfc4591]

Pretty nice welding in tight 'corners'

[@gregorymacneil2836]

The bent rod is interesting - my neighbour (who taught me to weld) worked in the shipyards - he had a small collection of mirrors for that type of work - he told me it was common place in ship repair. Cleaning the mirrors from soot was also common place! Great work!

[@Prariedog]

Amazing work for such a tight space . Thanks for sharing Safe travels 🙏

[@charlesgillette2925]

amazing work.

[@cliffmorain7215]

Good job Isaac.

[@williamthomas9463]

My hat is off to you sir! I’ve had to make welds with mirrors a few times. Hardest part is trying to get your hands to do the opposite of what your eyes are telling them to do.

[@kevinmccarthy9780]

Ok! I give up! You’re too good 👍
