Try this next time. You dont need an Arc gouger. Back hoe repair Part 1.

Backhoe cross tube broke off of a Catapillar 416 backhoe. Cutting off the center hydraulic pivot mount can be a challenge if you don't know what to do.
I give a brief rundown of how I go about removing specific parts from one another with the use of a torch. In this case, I had the ability to scrap the broken piece since the tube was already no good. This helped to not cut the "good part" and do most of the torch cutting on the sacrificial piece it was welded to. hope this video gives you some ideas on how to go about removing the two without the need of an arc gouger.

[@archielockie834]

I liked your statement about Peeing into the wind. Fantastic as always.

[@TWLML420]

This dude has some serious skills with a torch.

[@mikeromophp]

You got yourself a t shirt slogan...torchin’ into the wind is like peein’ into the wind...don’t do it Nice work man!

[@Abom79]

Skills and talent Issac! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Keep up the awesome work!

[@ICWeld]

Thank you Adam. And thank you for the assistance and pointers you've passed along via messaging. I really appreciate your support

[@jamesmccartney5731]

Any of you young fellows or gals learning the trade, pay close attention to Isaac! He is the man to learn real world repairs from!

[@fls360]

Dude i love how humble you are. You do not act all cocky about the way you get it done. I love your attitude and work. Thanks for posting.

[@donsmith9081]

An extremely humble genius.

[@rognavolter]

Really like your channel dude. It's honest, i appreciate that

[@gregclemson1733]

Mate your the gun on the gas axe never seen a bloke make it look so easy .. love your work keep it up . Look forward to watching more of your work .

[@johnerway7255]

Very steady hands with the cutting torch and you sure care for your tools, I've seen many guys use the torch as a hammer to tape the parts off. lol, you are top shelf. Thanks for the show, of how it should be done.

[@ZENERVOLTAGE]

Can I just say, your truck is awesome! I've never seen any mobile works truck like that here in the UK. I'm sure similar exist, but nothing I've seen with a massive vise hanging on the back, opening doors with torches neatly in place, generators, grinders, welders..... It's like Heaven on wheels!!!

[@andrewfurlotte8307]

You definitely have some mad skills with that torch. Love to watch a pro at work.

[@TrogdorBurns1]

"Torching into the wind is like peeing into the wind. Dont do it. But I'm stuck here. Gotta do what you gotta do." 5:26 Pure gold. 😂

[@jamesmorris3175]

Thanks for taking the time to make this, it’s cool to be able to watch over your shoulder from a thousand miles away!

[@glenntaylor6201]

How about 5000 miles! An admirer from England.

[@AlexMaciel241]

Yeah Ic is the best teacher ever !

[@gilbertmartinez930]

I know recording and posting videos is extra work for you, but don’t stop. These videos are very informative and inspirational for a newb like myself. Even when you burned yourself and fumbled around with stuff is awesome. I seem to always want to grab hot metal.

[@ICWeld]

Thanks. As I reviewed the video, I noticed that a piece of slag fell along the edge and stuck onto the piece as I was picking it up. That's what got me. I knew the part was warm but that got me good.

[@robertmintz63]

I am /was a certified gas pipe line welder, never worked pipeline , but couple yrs heavy construction & 20yrs @ NUMMI/ Toyota/GMC & was always thankful that the few times I got burned I was close to a refrigerator/freezer where I could get ICE . In hind sight it might be a good idea to always have a small cooler/icebox in the truck

[@yaronyaron19841yaron]

Thank you I learn from you a lot of knowledge and new methods in the work God bless you

[@victoryfirst2878]

I like your logic of the cutting locations. This makes the job so much easier for you fella. Look forward to see when you do more to the front bucket.

[@rustyshackleford4025]

Pure skill and confidence. Love watching you attack a job. You just get to it with no hesitation. I'd love to work along side ya. Cheers

[@ICWeld]

Fortunately for me, I've been doing this for a little while now so nothing really scares me anymore. They're still fun though!😉👍

[@David-yy7lb]

Do a tour of your welding rig...your truck is awesome 👍🏿👍🏿

[@learningtheoldschoolinthen258]

Torching into the wind is like peeing into the wind, don’t do it😂. It’s fascinating seeing somebody who really knows how to use a torch. Keep up the good work

[@apeterson23]

best videos on youtube... Love watching a skilled pro get it done. Any tips and tricks you can share the better. You are making me a better welder and fabricator... and I thank you!

[@ICWeld]

Thanks for the kind words

[@mikebest1897]

Nice work Issac! Looking forward to seeing more on these repairs 👍🏼👍🏼

[@1valleycity]

You are a real craftsman. Thank you for the videos!

[@micmike]

It seems to me that the torch has better control than the Arc gouger, I mean you can produce a more delicate result. Again you demonstrate using the torch as a scalpel Nice job

[@knotweed1953]

Nice to watch a craftsman work.

[@tufff3503]

Good to see you back Friend please keep making videos don’t stop well can’t wait for the next one. Thanks

Your level of torch skills is amazing.

[@robertmintz63]

Yes he is an artist

[@ptfdchief]

Your skills with a cutting torch are very,very good, you have a very steady cutting hand.

[@markmonroe7330]

A master with a cutting torch.

[@TheRitchieLeeShow]

For sure. Concise, precise no waisted motion , just getter done. I'm thinkining any thumbs down could have only a mis fire.

[@timothyball3144]

He cut those ears off in half the time I could have and I still would have had to spend an hour grinding. Yeah, I'm a better grinder than a cutter and I'm not a good grinder.

[@mattgaming8717]

Flange wizard also helps.

[@nategreycanopywelding8679]

Wow. Very informative and cool.

[@dieseldork6]

Cuts better than with a plasma cutter during an F3 tornado...amazing! My hands are far from steady after Lyme disease...torching is always frustrating. Respect!

[@stephengordon8968]

That's nice torch work !

[@geraldbasford6713]

Surprised you didn't use a scarfing tip. The gas companys must love you. Great job love your videos

[@JohnSmith-rc3ko]

You are my hero. You are the machine

[@ronaldziehlke9720]

Them there's some mad skills!

[@sameshitdifferentday5402]

i'd love your job so much!

[@robertklein9190]

I.C., If You collect all those pieces of scrap, both large and small, it being mostly No.1, by the end of each month you would have yourself a pretty good dollar to fund a nice IRA so you won't have to do this forever and ever. I'am impressed by how quiet you make that torch run.

[@ThCrunch]

Hope the finger heals up alright! Keep the videos coming

[@bradleybearfoot5027]

Awesome skill's. Thanks for the giggle when you picked up the hot piece🤭.

"Torching into the wind is like peeing into the wind...don't do it.". Words of wisdom!! The kind of things you can't get from a classroom or from any book! Old school field education.

You made that look easy!

[@winstonsylvester8227]

Thank you for showing us

[@Sojourning_]

awesome, I can tell from experience it never took me long to check horse shoes "-) hot was it…… I spent years working all night, CA. big iron. rain wind or shin, when they needed you, last week wasn't soon enough: nice truck.

[@juniorsalausa8443]

Awesome vid!

[@kennethdodds2323]

Fascinates me how fast you get your torch set.

[@SheriffofYouTube]

your truck is pretty awsome

[@pirobot668beta]

When I was learning to weld, I was amazed at how little time is spent 'slinging slag' and how much of it was prep work! To qoute a Book, you can't build a strong house on shifting sand...or strong weld on a poor fitting.

[@lancetucker4518]

Thank you so much for the videos

[@ICWeld]

Glad you like them!

[@erniehenshaw4161]

Nice Work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nathanconley2405]

Your channel is going to be a goldmine for those of us doing repairs for a living! Great work as always and thank you. On another note, how are you getting power from that plug on the back of your truck for your cords?

[@ICWeld]

Thank you. And that box is powered like an extension cord to the front of the welding machine.

[@davidgrass3719]

I dig it.. Looks like the old victor #1 tip is set on about 40 PSI , its talking to ya..I love to burn, been doing it for over 50 years.I rang the bell, See Ya

[@warrenjones744]

looks like Fun Isaac 👍

[@ICWeld]

Its a pretty straight forward job, you know that. 😉😉👍👍. A walk in the park for us oldah guys 😉😀😀 Thanks man.👍
