CAT 637 Bumpers

[@astafzciba]

these guys really love their equipment. I don't think there are many companies that bother with repairing dented bumpers.

[@anthonyw895]

Keeping a good man busy.

[@steverose3019]

I was about to say the same thing, who cares if the bumper is slightly dented?

[@messybench]

I'm thinking if they show respect for their equipment, it may carry over to the operators. The culture starts at the top.

[@AndreZA979]

@@messybenchAgree 100%, broken windows (bumper) = broken business. I must admit, I was a tad surprised that they got "that" repaired, but respect!

[@bigdave6447]

If they really loved their equipment they wouldn't hire hammerheads that keep smashing it up in the first place !!!

[@vicchiapetta4166]

Greg, You are an incredibly, Responsible, Professional Man!! I am so amazed at your abilities, each and every job, excellent results!! Thanks so much, as always, Vic!!

[@damonried1720]

I appreciate your pride in your work and attention to detail. The amount of that work one puts into repairing a painted bumper on a +20 ton tractor says a lot about their integrity. You are a credit to your profession.

[@Rubbernecker]

Totally agree!!

[@johnshaft5613]

I'm surprised the owner cares about a few little dents on the bumper of an earthmover. Love your channel/videos. Subscribed!

[@franciscoceruti4379]

Can someone answer why this would be the case ? I doubt it is just for "looks". There must be a security/performance reason to do this.

[@paulhammond7489]

@@franciscoceruti4379 The only reason I could think for 'looks' would be that the owner was considering selling them.

[@hinz1]

A bit of filler compound would be cheaper, tho. Has to last only until sold ;-D Welding a hook to it and pulling the dents out, with another bulldozer/excavator, while heating the metal with oxyacetylene, would be the easiest, good solution, IMO.

[@mikebougher3731]

The only time I've seen someone do this was when they are torn down to rebuild the whole unit. Never for some cosmetic dents.

[@robotlionbears]

Factory refurbished perhaps?

[@devinmansanarez3260]

That trick with the wire is brilliant. Thanks for showing us.

[@CAV-jk1ee]

Well done on your informative videos. I especially appreciate your vocal delivery: steady easy voice. Not screeching or loud. No four-letter words too. Also thank-you for not having annoying background music. You explain why you are doing the welds in a certain way. You truly have mastered your craft. Many thanks. I will continue watching your videos.

[@timf2914]

I love your attention to detail and the pride you you have in your workmanship it’s really hard to find that these days. Great job

[@aaronwilson3952]

Those imperfections will just blend in for what it's intended for. Damn good work.

[@interesting7906]

This customer must want to send these machine to auction. Maybe the one with the crack front was the only one in need for repair to prevent rust. That's a great job as usual!

[@OFW]

Not auction. These are his money makers. He likes them to look nice.

[@curtisc6768]

Mad respect for you Sir! You are for sure a master of your your craft with an attention to detail!! Not seen often these days

[@donyboy73]

I like your professional work!

[@brucepeterson9068]

As always great detail work. I love watching you work...Your attention to detail and your pride in your work!

[@CorpusChristiHouston]

It’s nice to see a company take pride in their equipment

[@badger305]

More like the equipment is headed to auction or is a lease turn in. You put those scrapers back to work and those bumpers will be dented again in just a few days. I've fixed quite a few in my days. That goes for the push block on the rear also.

[@lllllRBlllll]

@@badger305 That's what I thought too but then he mentions that he's done the same machine before so it must be a pretty regular thing.

[@Cancun771]

@@badger305 That would explain it!

[@TheCrozenfox]

I think it's during the shutdown. The company finds some jobs to do for their welders

[@user-zy4tg9tz3l]

Most people don't have pride in their cars they drive.

[@IrnDsl69]

“IC Weld” and yourself are true masters of the trade! Every video is inspiration. Keep up the great work boss!

[@ericcope8216]

Attention to detail. That's why I assume that you are successful! I like that your customer is concerned with how his/her equipment looks. Got to stay on top of it. Looked great, nice work. Keep it up.

[@boe4448]

Nice work. Your pride shows in the end product.

If you ever come this way, look me up and I’ll show you my equipment, and get some ideas from you!! Thanks again, Vic!!

[@user-ge6hf2xs4r]

Great videos! It's a pleasure watching someone with talent such as yours.

[@shakes7333]

You do great work! Im sure you dont need me to tell you that, you already know 😊 Its nice to see a company taking care of their equipment. Some companies wouldn't be bothered to fix stuff like that.

[@codyallred3788]

Love watching your videos you are very good at explaining what you are doing

[@gordonagent7037]

I really love you field guys, you’re used to working by yourself so you kinda look at jobs differently and I had not seen the wire used for the angle development, that was very simple but very clever. I’ve said it before in other jobs you’ve done that you take great pride in your work, both structurally and visually, something you should be very proud of young man as it’s a credit to your skill.

[@OFW]

Thank you!

[@BigHoss6250]

Nice work, I could watch this all day. Love the wire angle trick for getting the right cut.

[@dougsweldingfabrication953]

[@tecnik999]

Hey Greg, thanks for these videos, this is one of my favorite new YT channels. Learning about big equipment, fabrication, techniques, and engineering in general. You’ve got a great way of explaining things and a no BS attitude (no “like and subscribe” just let quality speak for itself)

[@Rubbernecker]

Great vid. Fantastic attention to detail!

[@PrairieMechanic]

You inspire me to strive for absolute top quality end results on my work! Your completed jobs are just as good, often better than factory. Good work.

[@guycarignan2263]

Making this great quality of job and considering the posture you have to cope with is absolutely astonishing.

[@stanthehandyman3719]

I love your attention to details especially when it comes to protection and containment like covering those hydraulic cylinders that weren't really in the welding area... better safe than sorry. Its also great how you fix all the little stuff that I'm sure wasn't in your original bid kind of like your working on your own equipment.

“A lot to take away from your expertise”- I like that comment!

[@MarvUSA]

I really like the detail you put into your work. Very Nice.!

[@nmsidewinder]

I can't help but comment about how whoever drives these machines could care less about how they abuse them. If these people had buy these machines , if they would still beat the heck out them the way they do. Can't get over the give a s**t less attitude they have. Great job and video. I like watching you work, you take pride in a job well done.

[@mwim1226]

I work industrial Maintenance, and went to school for tool and die machining. I have recently learned to mig and I absolutely love this channel it mixes the finesse of metal working with the brute of big machinery. On my days off I spend at least two hours watching your videos a day. Please don't ever stop making these videos their informative and very much enjoyable to watch. Maybe someday I'll get to have the opportunity to step into your line of work. In the future would you make some instructional videos or tips and tricks that work with you personally? I'm sure many would enjoy seeing that. Thanks again for the videos and great work!

[@gliderider7077]

The owner of this iron is the type of guy I’d love working for! Wants his equipment treated well so you know he has good stuff.

[@kmc7473]

I happen to just come across this video of you. As John said I’m surprised they would bother on those bumpers. Your work is detailed and excellent. Like you I had a friend that was a perfectionist and his welds were like artwork. I think 55k people will reaffirm your work and detail. Keep up the pride,pace and work ethic. Now a days it’s in short supply.

[@abusedpigeons225]

When doing compound angles like that they sell something called an angle bevel, or T-bevel, you set one edge up and then you can move and lock the over edge or “arm” on a hinge and it’ll take your angles to convert over to your workpiece, most have a nice handy square edge. Great investment for this kind of work. Love the content

[@chrisj2848]

Beauty! Thanks for sharing your work 👍

Good work with that plasma torch amazing that you can keep it a good distance away and still take off layers of metal never seen one with that ability usually have to keep them pretty close to do anything and if it’s for April fools it’s vinegar otherwise for P&O steel it’s Diluted hydrochloric acid bath used to work with coils Continued success Fabrizio

Is there any particular reason to do these cosmetic repairs like this? Seems like a lot of work to remove some dents on a machine that will get dented again in a few months.

This particular customer likes their machines to look nice. I think they might also back charge the damage to the last person who rented it.

I never learned the push pull technique on these scrapers, looks fun though and it has to be mentally exhausting timing all the controls on Q allowing for a seamless movement during the cut. Takes practice for sure. Good Channel welder and your work speaks for itself.
