Try this with a Torch!!

Hey guys. Just thought I'd drop another video showing some torch work of replacing a welded in pin boss. Sometimes an arc gouger isn't available so you have to do it the old fashioned way, by torching out the bad or worn parts. This video is nothing special but maybe itll give you a few ideas that you can implement in your situation. either way, hope this helps

[@manga12]

well I can tell you thats how railroad repair is like, even in the historical sector, we arn't in the middle of nowhere but if your working on track several hundred yards from the shop you dont have as many luxuries, anyway with steam engines and old diesels you often have something that wont move and its heat and beat or the staybolts when they need replaced they are welded in and upset into place with a hammer, you heat the old one to a blob and pretty much melt and burn it off straight though or you heat at an angle to shear it off and minimize the damage to the one sheet on the firebox depending on what you are doing, or you use a gouging tip on the end to wash off a weld its all thick plate stuff that is under pressure of superheated steam and must be inspected at perscribed intervals as when its steamed up its basicly a pipebomb full of superheated steam that can do a heck of a lot of damage if it gets released violently, or you have to cut old rail to replace a section all thick metal and a plasma cutter just aint going to do the job with what we have.

very nice work. seeing that saddle grease reminded me of a fun visit from a salesman. he was selling heavy duty handcleaner and insisted it could even clean that off. before we could stop him he took a handful of well used grease and rubbed his hands with it real good like he was using soap. after that he went to demonstrate his mighty fine handcleaner. well. we ended up giving him a couple plastic bags he could use as gloves to drive back and yell at his boss for false advertising :) i never forget how he gradually went from confident to panic when realizing it didnt work.

It's hard to work with latex or nitril gloves. If you wash your hands every day with paste you'll get some nasty hands. We use ATF or hydraulic oil (or any clean oil )and a clean rag then normal soap or liquid The oil will dissolve the black goo and will clean even the fine cracks in the skin. Until now it's the best solution we find.

He does make it look easy but torch welding is the first welding style you learn when you go to school. Most welders that learn at home use a buzz box or a cheap mig as their first tool and not a torch. The best way I think to learn welding is to play with a torch. They made us do T welds, butt welds, lap welds and everything else. He is correct though without the proper tool or a torch you would never get that sleeve out! The only other way to cheat would be to freeze the sleeve but that's staying near impossible unless you filled it with dry ice or blasted it was nitrogen.

Didn't even burn a hole in his shirt, and that was upside down, anybody who tries that will be Swiss cheese.

lol unless you do it for a living, all day every day.

Plus he was using 7018 or 7024 or something like that. Those two for sure I know don't throw any slag

You got mad skills with that torch. It's a pleasure to watch you work.

[@pan4909]

Ever since I did a co op at a mechanic shop in highschool, I've fallen in love with torches, screw wrenches, breaker bars, and impact guns. torches are how you get stuff off.

I was watching this thinking "No way he'll be able to get enough precision with that cutting torch to get that to work". Good thing I wasn't wearing my hat while watching that outcome - I'd have had to eat it :) Great work guy :)

[@mhbyers3920]

You are like a surgeon with your torch. Totally cool to watch.Thanks

[@goodboyringo9716]

Nice work with the torch . It's not easy doing a good job with a torch. Most people would farm out the job , great work.

[@adamluke1289]

This is basically like watching surgery.

[@dave4gee]

less blood.

[@davidpetersen8585]

Piece of ART!!! You Sir Motivated me to even become better at my work! This was Just beautiful. Never thought a weld would satisfy me so much

[@breaux2806]

It's been years since I held a torch and watching this video I realized I could still smell the burning paint and the weird sweet smell of steel being washed away

[@TheUnleashed123]

Sweet smell of lung cancer

[@Ratlins9]

Very satisfying to watch this, can’t imagine how rewarding it is to perform this type of work.

[@Curttttttt]

Nice work, thanks for taking us along for the ride.

[@bryanmathis224]

Non of this relates to me but I watched it all and loved every second there's something about watching a professional doing his trade that I love watching. It's kinda like an apprenticeship

27:16 ..... oops! Careful she's hot! Great work there. I did a kingpin on our lowboy years ago, with little welding experience at the time but at least knowledge of the basics. I'm sure it wasn't as clean as yours but it did hold for a few years until the trailer was finally retired.
