Hey, guys. First off, sorry about the wind noise. Here is a nice repair of a hydraulic cylinder on a Caterpillar 365 excavator. Follow along as you see us piece this thing back together. Looking back at how I made this repair, I would have done things a bit differently but that's how we all learn. I really didn't like how this was welding. Not sure if it was because of my previous repair or the metal combination of cast material mixed with old weld filler rod. Either way, I hope it holds for a while at least. Thanks for the support in advance.

  • Looks pretty good to me mate ๐Ÿ‘ you do some of the best field repair work for what I've seen over the years. You make it work with what you have and get it done ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘
  • "Kurtis will notice it" ๐Ÿ˜‚ good one, your channel and CCE Australia are two of my favorites
  • @skibik3r
    Wooo, Shout out to Kurtis, Karen, and homey! That cylinder looks to be about 5 bananas across ๐Ÿ˜†. IC Weld field repair is just as strong as a CEE shop repair๐Ÿ‘! Both are masters of the trade.

    Looks great! Its funny that you mentioned Kurtis, because that's who I thought of when you said "is this the right way?". In the field and in the machine shop are two totally different worlds!
  • It's awesome to see the next generation to be involved in the trades
  • @georgewest2096
    You son will always be able to find good jobs thanks to you.
  • Send it down to Kurtis at CEE, he'll fix it should get it back to you in about a year considering shipping๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

    You are an amazing welder, father , and mentor/teacher. I hope your son realizes how blessed he is to have a father with the skill you have and the willingness to teach. Keep up the great work.
  • @kingtut5923
    Your the man, glad your teaching JR how to repair things. Top shelf repairs , that's why they call you.
  • Good job on letting him figure it out.....not enough of that going around anymore.
  • @markmunro8753
    Thank you Isaac And son. When this machine retires It will be mostly made of your welding rods. That is a good welding lesson for me.๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š
  • My father started in the Bremerton, Washington ship yard building ships. He started welding deck plates 3 or 4 inches thick {1960's}I got a kick out of his assistant, he made sure he did not run out of welding rod, and put the fire out when and if he caught on fire! He fixed everything with Weld Wood glue or J B Weld. Dad had last count 9 welders when he passed at 94. He stopped traveling and told them bring it to me and I will fix it. Enjoy the video's.

    yeah, Kurtis comes on in about 3 more hours.......... ..he may have to send Homeless over to Austin to be your safety man .........looks good to me Issac, love seeing your Son out there learning......you are both very lucky, him for having you as a Dad and you for having such a great Son......Let him know how much we like seeing him working along side of you.......Paul
  • @AlanSprague
    That's an awesome shout out to Kurtis of CEE it would be so awesome to have a meet up between you two, both seriously hard working and skilled tradesmen!
  • I'm not even a welder, I'm a mechanic by trade, now a service director at a Ford dealership after 43 years in the business. You have the gift of common sense, and you're a great welder. I can truly appreciate that. You're also a great mentor for your son. Our trades are a dying art. Keep passing your knowledge on to him. Kudos to you, and your son! God Bless..... PS: I've mentored many a young man in my day that have become great senior master techs in my business. My approach to mentoring pretty much mirror yours to your sones. You're a great man. Keep up the good work!
  • @0ohoaxo0
    Awesome to hear kurtis from cee talk about ic weld and vice versa
  • @thouartit
    Unless I'm mistaken, which I've been known to be, your son is the luckiest kid in the world. If I am mistaken, he is guaranteed in the top 10. Lucky, lucky lucky to have such a father. Congratulations !!!

    Funny you should Mention Curtis, because in todayโ€™s video (same day as this one) we see him wearing your cap :) Love the YouTuber camaraderie ! Great job on this nightmare of a repair, in-field.
  • Your son is amazing and I love that you are teaching him. My Father was a truck and bus mechanic. I grew up sitting on the fenders of the trucks he worked on. Decades later I make a good living using the knowledge and some of the tools that got from him. The trades are dependent on generations teaching the next. And they have always provided a good living.
