Sketchy Hitch replacement.

[@collisionspecialists1602]

You did a great job cleaning up a mess I’ve been welding for 45 years I’m never surprised anymore at some of the things people cobble together and take it up and down the highway if we only knew the dangers that were on the road we would never leave home I’m glad you were able to clean it up

[@ICWeld]

Totally agree. Ive seen some interesting things myself.

[@lupuszzz]

In a workshop where welders wield their might, Came a call to Isaac, a welding delight. A rented trailer in a dire connection, The coupling broke, a welder's reflection. Isaac arrived with his helmet agleam, To fix the coupling, a metallurgic dream. He grinned, "Fear not, my dear friend, We'll weld this tale to a proper end!" Sparks flew like fireworks, a welding display, Isaac worked wonders in his own unique way. To the renter, he said with a laugh, "No more worries, just a smooth towing path. Your trailer's ready, now good as new, Thanks to Isaac, the welding virtuoso, too!" With a nod and a spark, he saved the day, The trailer now fixed, ready to roll and sway!

Issac, this is more the type of repairs I have been sent on.... nice to see the way you approached this,,,,, that feeling a big pit in your stomach when you see what you have been sent to repair was always the worst part of the job.... thanks for sharing, Paul

[@roneckler9937]

There was a guy driving down the freeway the other day with a trailer similar to that one. The hitch was ok, but the welds broke on one of the axle spring brackets and the axle came out from under the trailer. It hit four cars before coming to a stop. Come to find out, it was repaired by the owner, and it was apparent he didn't know how to weld. Good thing we have people like you making sure these things are done right and safe for other drivers as well.

[@arustydodge2111]

Your work was solid, ISAAC. The tongue on that was a mess. Blows your mind why they didn’t leave the pintle set up on. You can only do what the customer wants!👍👍

[@wromzick9457]

It does make you wonder what happened that they did a reverse cut back into the web of the beam to create a bird's mouth cut and then weld a rated ball hitch to all of it. Good thing that it is being used to only haul signs. Definitely a construction project site trailer.

[@nitro5955]

@@wromzick9457 I would not be surprised if that bar in the front with the birds mouth is so that the owner can pick it up and move it with other equipment that does not have a hitch and it gives them an easy area to grab.

[@rinardman]

"No, no, that's not factory." See, that's why Isaac is the professional! I never would have guessed that wasn't factory welding. 🤣

[@RuggedArtistry]

That' style coupler is commonly found on horse trailers and not really up to the task of a heavy construction trailer. I kept thinking that there were far better ways to repair it than to duplicate the failed hitch. It all made sense to me when you said that the trailer was borrowed and the customer just wanted you to put it back to where it started. As always, you did a fine repair job but I can't help but wonder about liability issues. Thanks for the video!

[@johnnygolden7401]

Agreed there, that trailer is obviously towing stuff it was never intended to haul.

[@lloydprunier4415]

Award for puzzle solving, award for having patience excellence, and gouging and welding above and beyond. It's sketchy but you made it look way better and as strong as it can be with what there is to work with. The load on the trailer is nothing compared to what that poor trailer has seen at times!

[@TechOne7671]

Well done Isaac, you made a fine job of polishing that turd!!

[@sackvilleweldingservices]

"Sketchy". That is one way to describe it. Weird looking and oddball. A very tidy repair that Isaac. Looks like the sort of farm trailer repair I have been asked to repair in the past when a customer has bought a trailer straight from an auction sale!

[@repaircollc]

I would never put my name on something like that. Sometimes the customer needs the professional to make them understand whats wrong. Issac you are awsome and immensely talented. I just gotta say this one had me shaking my head. Thanks for all you share with us!

[@ZaphodHarkonnen]

Pretty much. Though of course it’s easier said than done. At a minimum I’d be documenting in a note to the customer that this is not fit for purpose and what should be installed instead. Anything you reasonably can do to limit your liability.

[@cameronnerdin4910]

I agree, this is the first time I am a little disappointed in a repair he has done.

[@ToreDL87]

Yeah it's not the repair in itself, he's a craftsman. Issue is the liability in agreeing to do the repair.

[@cameronnerdin4910]

@@ZaphodHarkonnen The problem is that really doesn't remove liability. The problem is everyone here sees that the hitch broke due to over loading, and it will happen again. And if someone gets hurt it will be Issac"s fault. He lost his honor in this when he made a repair that shows little care for public safety.

[@truracer20]

Isaac isn't a certified engineer, he's a welder and did the job that the customer asked for. And his welds are not what will fail and cause a potential accident. The customer owns any possible liability. If your employer handed you drawings and told you to build that item as per spec and you do, then later on that item fails because of an engineering mistake or lack of engineering that you had no responsibility for, and leads to injury or death, would you be held liable? No because you aren't an engineer and therefore not responsible to review the engineering for correctness. If I have an engine built to my specs and it has extremely high emissions output and I put it in a vehicle and go for an emissions test and it fails then does the engine builder hold the responsibility or do I? If a fast food worker cooks a burger for you and there is something wrong with the meat that the employee has no control over and it harms you, is that burger flipper responsible?

[@Daniel-uf1xx]

That piece that you welded looks better than the rest of the trailer. You did a great job!

[@johnscott2849]

Hey let's keep welding crap on it to make stronger. Those type of latches are really good for their rated towing, The way that ones on their tells me they are a wee bit over what it's rated for. That trailer looks like it had a ring hitch on it.

[@davedavedave52]

yep , needs a ring hitch with a much higher wt rating

[@legionofanon]

Ok I'm not the only one that thought it should have a lunette ring on it. They sell multipurpose hitches that can tow either a 2 5/16 ball or a pintle setup. Customer should go that way. Plus I've seen this style of hitch bust open when backed at a tight angle, would not have one on any of my trailers

[@ChrisHarding-lk3jj]

That trailer definitely came with a pintle ring installed on it. I am willing to bet it had a piece of 1/2" x 6" wide plate with multiple holes welded vertically on the end of the tongue. I worked on a very similar trailer and the V at the end of the tongue was so you could access the nuts that attach the pintle ring.

[@markfryer9880]

Definitely with you guys on the Pintle and ring fitting. The part supplied to Isaac doesn't seem to be rated enough for that trailer, given the size of the drawbar members. They appear to be sized for a large commercial trailer towed by a dump truck and carrying a medium excavator and a bobcat. They definitely require pintle and ring sets and decent quality thick chains. Plus breakaway brake system. But that's only from what I see on the roads around Melbourne and what would I know? 😅 Mark from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

[@oldfarmer4700]

Agree with everyone too. The trailer looks like it’s made to haul a D8 but it’s modified in some way to haul windows or something like that. My experience with that type of hitch wasn’t good. Had a lots smaller trailer I hauled small load of hay and straw bales and busted it out the side backing it up to the barn. But there are lots pulling huge loads with half ton pickups and janky trailers all over this country and get away with it. I wouldn’t get out the driveway and DOT would be waiting on me to hit the road.

[@samuelscragg7052]

[@kirkpowell6161]

The difference in your work and mine, I would have ground the pin on the new hitch only to THEN figure out it was a different size allowing me the opportunity to spend a whole day driving all around town looking for a replacement so I spend spend the second day installing it! Great video, almost always learn something for your work.

[@anindividual3889]

I enjoy watching you work and you were a lot more patient with this one that I would have been. I would have wanted to refabricate the whole thing and in doing so I probably would have pissed the customer off and he would have gone elsewhere. Guess it's a good thing that I'm a farmer and don't weld professionally, just for myself. I've seen a lot of ways of mounting a hitch to the front of a trailer, but this one takes the cake for being the most amount of work as well as a shitty way of doing it at the same time.

[@MadMaxWelds]

People always tell me I’m dumb for messing with hitches. I always tell them I’d rather do them because I know my capabilities and my family drives on the same roads at these trailers. I’d rather me do them, and it done right, than some 18year old fresh out of high school. At the end of the day, I’ll go home knowing it was done right.

[@big_ute]

[@peterparsons7141]

I was having my doubts, and watched until the completion. Agree with you that the result was a solid hitch point, and I would be comfortable hauling with that. I mean to say as comfortable as possible, I’m never comfortable or remotely relaxed hauling anything except a garden trailer in my yard.

[@Pyro4100]

I'm pretty sure that trailer either had a donut ring that was welded to the front of it or some type of c-channel as I usually see with bolt on attachments and they decided they didn't want that and rigged up what they got at Harbor Freight instead gotta love it

[@TokyoCraftsman]

You certainly turned chicken $hit into Chicken salad on this one! In my youth I worked at a brake and muffler shop, the owner also built custom trailers for various government agencies, and we often were called on to fix bad trailers either from said agencies or the public. The goober welded snot rocket fixed that we saw were scary, it was really terrifying to think that these time bombs flying down the highway right beside you at 60mph 😱 Every time a disaster like that came into the shop the boss would bend over backwards to make it right even if he lost money on the job. He just could not live with himself to let a ticking time bomb like that back on the road. I'm glad you got it fixed up, but yeah, that was a mess. Cheers from Tokyo!

[@DavidSellars-b8l]

My first impression was to walk off and leave the liability to someone else. But, as always, you pulled off in style. Still, a new hitch on that trailer was like putting lipstick on a pig.

[@JonDingle]

That is the most bizarre hitch I have ever seen. Here in the UK it would be illegal and even the new hitch too. The size and weight of that trailer would need to have an all forged steel, braked delta coupling here because the trailer would likely be over 750kgs (3/4ton) which is the limit for unbraked trailers here. A job well done young man. I would walk away from that job if it was on this side of the pond unless it was just an old farm trailer.

[@BadHaddy]

In the US, trailers over 3000lbs, but under 30,000lbs, are usually serviced by electric brakes. They are powered by a standardized 7 pin connector to the tow vehicle, with an electric brake controller fitted to the vehicle. We have surge hydraulic brakes but they are less common due to cost and complexity. Anything over 30k is going to be air brakes, and the 30k mark itself will vary depending on application of the trailer. This trailer has clearly been converted from a pintle/lunette style hitch, which is used on medium and heavy duty trucks (commercial-class use primarily.) The weld work is high quality, but this hitch conversion was scabbed together by someone else, was not engineered and isnt safe. It's kind of mind boggling, because flat mount, certified, forged ball hitch couplers rated to 25klbs are like, 140usd.

[@Asomesauc]

Like usual when I watch your videos I learned something thank you for sharing.

[@darrinstone49]

We use a oxy torch to heat a line on the outside of say your bracket, then let it cool. This will cause your metal to shrink slightly & open up your inside spacing ever so slightly. Works on everything from 1/4 in on up to huge plate steel bucket brackets. Same principle as bodywork but I heat a small width in a line. The last person I seen doing it on a KZbin video was snowball machining or something like that where he is fixing a head for a type of tellahandeler. We heat the cast up to around 350--500. Eastwood has a nice simple little water cooled torch & cooler setup you mint really like. After welding I like to post heat & use an air hammer to relieve stresses, sometimes even a needle scaler, then cover for a long slow cooldown. Im supprised so many guys toss out broken cast items vs repair. The dril, tap & pinning method with overlapping jigs is way strong. When porting heads or doing a block repair, as a precaution I seal the cast-iron with a ceramic sealer loc-tite ect. Goodsons sells a ton of cool tools & chemicals like a crack testing kit to their Fastcut 3D valve cutting equipment. Enjoy your common sence approach & outlook on builds! Would love to pick your brain on long travel air suspensions like Farfromstock sells. 😅
