Center pin boss replacement on JD 644K loader

Good old 644K had a bad pin day. Common problem on the John Deere series loaders. Loads of hot work carbon arc, gas ax and stick welding.

Very good video. I respect your skill in the welding trade. I took some welding classes when I was an apprentice carpenter, and a few projects in my back yard. I have helped build a lot of staging for welders at a WEYCO paper mill, was always amazed at welds of welders on the job, looked like a machine put them down. Those old boys learned their trade in tough times & good . I really like my apprenticeship with those journeyman no wasted movements. Thanks for the watch.

You make cutting 2 inches of steel with a torch look easy. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.

[@tommyt2854]

1. Very well done. 2. Kinda surprised you're not set up to line bore. 3. Miss your parable stories at the end! Glad you're still posting videos tho, very educational.

[@EEJester1586]

Thank you. I do wanna buy a line bore one day just don’t have the money right now. Hahah I’ll be sure to say them still.

[@kellycowett6254]

Nice work 15 minutes to cut that was dam good time id still be out there cutting if it was me your a detail's man a very good gift to have

[@curtisroberts9137]

Nice work. I think you do a great job and you make it simple. No overcomplication on set up or the like. Just fit, measure, weld.

[@okiedoke6373]

Good job man it's always fun to see how other people do it

[@mikec6831]

Really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing your welding techniques with us, I personally need all the help I can get.

[@buckinthetree1233]

Those cone rocks are very handy for a lot of things. I made a video a while back and had a few comments asking about them. You did a nice job.

[@deltan9ne306]

Never heard of it called a cone rock, we call them cone stones up in Canada. Heard them called cone rocks on a few videos lately from down south!

[@jerryglenn7323]

Great work.Glad to see you again.👍

[@motoz3939]

I run about 215 to 225 for 1/4 carbons and people lose their minds. If I had a dollar for every time I was told that doesn’t work… or heard people get loud about it. Glad to see others do the same.

[@big_ute]

I do as well and the guys at the shop lose their shit, its hilarious.

[@motoz3939]

@@big_uteyea honestly people really seem to take it personal. I would say I’m on the higher end too of amperage but man folks get hot over it

[@DaleDirt]

Totally awesome , great work

[@thebruteforce1]

Good explanations of what you are doing and why👍 keep it up.

[@hubertrobinson8825]

Nicely done

[@warrenjones744]

Welcome to my world. Summer of Rain! That's one way to fix it. Nice torch work and nice explanation of the how and why. You do like working in the dark eh? Cheers

[@yenerm114]

Glad your back making videos 👌🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@bigdave6447]

Old time shooters used 6to support the back of their neck as you do, worked well for them!

[@sackvilleweldingservices]

Great work and video young man!

[@davidtown6825]

great job

[@brandonmcconnell8132]

I like your work but I feel bad for who left the dodge next to you airarcing

[@daleolson3506]

Look at the floor they don’t care about anything

[@johnwinden8511]

Great job, I’m impressed!

[@jackgreen412]

Looks like you work hard for you money and you earn every penny!

[@bigdave6447]

Always buy a ground that is a clamp! First it will make a positive connection, secondly, you can use the clamps as a clamp !!

[@kenfrazier616]

great repair

[@johnpappas2060]

Bless Very nice informative video. Thanks 🙏

[@Asomesauc]

Great video thank you for sharing

[@bartskin9147]

I need some more Classic Work videos

[@fordnut4914]

Why didnt you preheat that heavy steel befor welding.

[@localcrew]

As soon as I saw that big slug of steel you were going to weld in, I knew that this loader was going to get fixed 100% right.

[@thomasweida2881]

Try a petrogen gasoline cutting torch they are excellent very thick material cutting through rest, and I will cut through air gaps You can even cut bolts out of concrete without Spaulding the concrete. After air arcing those colors off, I would’ve used the gasoline powered torch makes a very nice cut hardly any cleanup. I was very surprised. I’ve owned it for years and it’s ago to tool for thick material.

[@TT-qo9dv]

Thanks for the video 👍

[@Pete.Ty1]

👍👍👍.Thank you

[@bigunone]

Can I convince you to come to NM and film, we need the rain 🌧️

[@hddm3]

Hell yeah!

[@katmandu8208]

[@1963SMITTY]

Awesome work man. Did you drop your amps a bit for the overhead?

[@EEJester1586]

I did but only because one thin spot on the front. Otherwise I would have stayed the same.

[@elsart0]

Hi, I have an easy question for you: to cut metal like that without losing the heat for the cut, could I use a torch tip the next size up? Or doing so will not change the result? Thanks for sharing the super videos! Sart0

[@EEJester1586]

I normally don’t run a big tip like a #3 or #4 I like the #00 or #1 they are a lot better at thin steel like 1/4” or even 1/8” if you know what your doing. A #1 will cut up to 3” with the right gas pressures. It’s really all personal preference but that’s what I have found.

[@dwarnermg]

You can run the gasses at higher pressures to and make the tip “work harder”. Used to do that when I didn’t pay for the gas then seen Isaac torch Norris do his 7-70 pressure trick and tried those settings and it’s crisp but uses a ton of extra gas. Also cutting clean metal makes a world of difference so don’t be afraid to hit the cut line with a grinder before final layout.

[@marcelodeleon5782]

Deberias haber cortado el soporte del buje y poner uno mas grande poca pared tiene no va a aguantar poco cuerpo de soporte tiene

[@whatnametochose]

If its a common problem. Then there is not enough greasing or bolt is too small or both. You do a good job tho. Cheers

[@MegaRiffraff]

👍🏻

[@BarnabytheRogue]

No preheat on the boss and plate?

[@EEJester1586]

I don’t preheat on a stick weld unless it’s in the winter. The outside temperature was 98 in the shade that day.

[@fordnut4914]

​@@SPUDHOMEI think he b.s people a little bit something I caught in the video probably no one else would ever notice

[@gregm312]

why didn't you preheat

[@EEJester1586]

I don’t preheat on a stick weld unless it’s in the winter. The outside temp was 98 degrees in the shade.

[@truthbetold2914]

Why you laying in the dirt? Put a mat or piece of wood down

[@EEJester1586]

I tried to put something down but it went down in flames.

[@michaelyochum8532]

Looks like lack of normal maintenance to me

[@susannovotney1903]

Having your truck parked so close to the flying sparks is not a great idea.

[@jenniferwhite6089]

British steel and engineering to more likely to be the problem and American abuse of it too would it wear out if it was not being used back to shovels and wheelbarrows for you Americans subject don't buy British wheelbarrows engineered to brake after the first day you wonder why the wheel goes flat British engineered that to go flat
