Great to see you back John. I’ve been missing you. I have no idea why this is just now popping up on my phone since I know I’m subscribed. Don’t be a stranger.

Hey mate been a while good to see you again.

[@NAWeldingandFab]

I'm just glad I finally found the time to edit a video. 😂. Thanks for watching

[@michaelwooda9444]

That's the cleanest machine I've ever seen. Lucky you!

[@NAWeldingandFab]

It's fairly new and well maintained, so yea I got lucky. 😂

[@davidkenworthy7548]

Always loved your videos & your work, keep em coming please, curious about your rig, last time I saw you put together that old Ford, loved it.

[@NAWeldingandFab]

Thank you and thanks for watching. Still running the old Ford. Far better truck than the Cummins shipping crate and far cheaper to repair/maintain

Thanks for coming back 👍

[@jamesacker7343]

Could you drill slightly into the bolt to create more surface area to weld to.

[@NAWeldingandFab]

Could, but not necessary with proper pre-heat and penetration

[@jamesacker7343]

Maybe put some anti seize on the replacement bold encase it gets broken again.

[@NAWeldingandFab]

That's up to the mechanics. I only take things apart and reassemble them when it's required to gain access to a problem. This customer has a couple good mechanics who already had the rock guard out of my way and off the jobsite, so I had nothing to do with disassembly or reassembly this time. Anti-sieze may help, but it also may reduce thread friction to the point where thd bolts just vibrate out. I've never tried it

What kind of boots do you wear? They look higher quality.

[@NAWeldingandFab]

They're a logger's boot made by Danner. I found them on Danner's website. They're the only USA made from USA sourced materials safety toed boots Danner offered at the time. They were about $500 shipped to my door, but so far they've been comfortable and durable. I'm on my 2nd set of laces which I swapped out for 550 paracord right after the 1st set got burned in two.

[@paulg5900]

@@NAWeldingandFab I'll check them out. FYI i hear kevlar laces are the best for welders, they dont burn out easily.

[@NAWeldingandFab]

@@paulg5900 they got some on scamazon I might try out after I run out of paracord. Thank you for the tip though

I don't know if I should bother to subscribe again❓

[@NAWeldingandFab]

That's up to you. I don't run your life

[@coolasice2187]

Is it just a coincidence you decided to upload a video right after Hunter Biden was found guilty ❓

[@NAWeldingandFab]

His guilty verdict had no bearing on my uploading of this video. 😂. Funny though
