Welding a Dump Truck Bracket

#welding #repair #treeservice The dump bed brackets ripped clean In half! They had another welder come along before me, but I guess his welds didn’t hold up. So it was my turn to tackle the job. I had the new brackets pre fabricated so I could do the install quickly.

Great repair ANTHONY! Nice job!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Really like that you’re humble enough to show us the mistakes that all of us make. You correct them and carry on. WELL DONE, BROTHER👍😇👍.

*You have some A-level Oxy scarfing skills. I'm always surprised when you scoop someone's weld bead out half inch plates and just knock them apart with one hand.*

To be honest two tacks helped line it up perfectly on the pivot , nice 👍 work 🔥🎯💎☯️🤔🥱

[@johnw.peterson4311]

Anthony, man I’m proud of you. Great work ethic, and honest about the good, the bad ,and the ugly situations you encounter. I am a former journeyman welder/ fabricator and it is a pleasure watching you. Keep at it my friend!

[@gerardhorn9892]

extra wire for extra support 🤣🤣🤣

[@waiakalulu7544]

It's cool to see the mistake and then the correction. I easily get things inverted or mirrored the wrong way when I'm in the thick of things. The wisdom you shared was testing things first with tacks then changing course once you saw the mistake. I always find my mistake after I've fully welded everything. It sux, too, because I usually get burned and break a few other things in the process of "fixing" another thing. You make it look easy getting things done, but going backwards on a project like this is a trap I fall into all too often. Thanks for dropping scholarship on us on how to keep moving forward.

[@joeyfisher2625]

Appreciate the level of safety, propping the bed up. Lead by example. Good work!!

[@MeltinMetalAnthony]

Thanks for watching!

[@mresnick797]

Get a circle burner for your torches. Makes cutting circles a lot easier

[@armedmariner]

@mresnick797 can you explain how cutting circles work with a torch? Or link a picture? Love to see that.

[@spudatbattleaxe]

I install those dump beds where i work right now and yeah the original install on that looks pretty rough😂 nice repair job!

[@amos4457]

You do good work Anthony. You need to add a carbon arc to your arsenal.

[@billrandles8550]

Anthony, how do you spell damn,talk about the skillet calling the pot a blackass!

[@armedmariner]

Nice welds. Those old welds look like a complete newb or a drunk worked on it before. Good craftsmanship. I’m glad you accidentally inverted that bracket - just to show that it really is The Real World sometimes when crap like that happens. You just groan and move on. Maybe 45 years ago??? me and my brother in law and his buddy welded same basic problem on buddy’s dump truck. The fuel tank was Danger Close at one point and everyone was like “nah no problem just keep burning rod”. I shut that shit down and went and got an old wool army blanket and soaked it in water and draped it over the fuel tank. All is well that ends well. I was seeing visions of fuel explosions in my head. Truck was a 1 ton landscape dump with a gas motor! Once again. Thanks for a good video. I like watching your work. You make good clear videos. You must spend a lot of time thinking before you film cuz you seem to always get efficient angles and views that don’t require a ton of talking. You are a good kid!

[@JonDingle]

Great job young man. Anyone that does welding repair work or fabrication that doesn't screw up or claims they never screw up is a liar. Well done Anthony for not just admitting you screwed up but that you still made a mint job when you corrected the error. I have several dozen screw up "T shirts". I doff my cap here in cold wet England in respect to you! Best regards, Jon. P.S. If a channel called Sackville Welding Services comments on your channel, that is me!

[@MeltinMetalAnthony]

Thanks Jon! Always look forward to your comments! Hope life’s treating you well

[@peetky8645]

making the bracket shorter increases the stress on a smaller portion of the bed frame.....might lead to bending or crush failure.

0:05 didn’t blur the logo and 12:41 kinda missed the mark on that one. I heard that you can add some blur in KZbin after videos are posted but I’ve never tired so idk how true that is.

[@MeltinMetalAnthony]

Dam it. I think it moved when I cut a few bad shots. It’s hard to get right. Thanks for the heads up I’ll try to fix it

[@studboyspark]

Also if you’re going to blur the name/logo gotta blur the dot number. USA Tree Svc.

[@derekbryant6137]

Fun tip if you have a long enough combination square and you're transferring from the old plate to the new played the hole you can lay across lined up with the top diameter of the hole the top of the hole just run A-line across to the new plate from the old plate same with the bottom this also makes it easier to put the center you can also do it with a small square 8 by 12 square I suppose you could do it with a bigger speed square also if the straightedge is long enough to reach across to the old plate

[@MeltinMetalAnthony]

Great tip thanks!

[@christiangranados580]

great work man, you took care of those bad welds like nothing. not many people do the job right in any type of dump truck. one question of you see this, how do you land jobs like those and how often do you say no to them?

[@CaineDaCowboy]

Scarfing tip would have been perfect for you to cut those plates off that frame

[@deant876]

I know it's not your responsibility to make sure that rod rotates freely or has no slop, but that is the prefect time to check it out. Like you were hitting that bracket to turn it. It should move freely, have the customer grease the hell out of it while it's down and you can turn the rod to get the grease all of the way around it.
