Abuse for sure but I'm wondering where the bucket was made. It can't have had much weld on the inside.Went out on a 60G mini ex today. Typical electrical problems due to a **** poor repair previously. The operator, when I was done with the electrical repair, asked if I could weld a tooth back onto the bucket shank. Previous weld was S%^& but I did it. He has WAYYY bigger problems than a missing tooth.

He didn't even say anything about the bottom of this bucket being caved in 5 inches and the weld seems ripped on both sides by at least 10" long. LOL I'm trashing this bucket and getting a new replacement ordered. I'm not even going to screw with this repair.
Or anything to do with heavy oil/bunker fuel. Surprisingly both products come from a very similar area of the fractionating column at the oil refinery. Coincidence.?Hate anything and everything to do with asphalt.
Well!....at least I won't be alone now. Welcome to the club!Oh joy that paver crap doesn’t look fun and as a bonus I found out today I am slated to go to WEILER paver training sometime next quarter. I think it’s up at their factory in Iowa.

Were the Cat pavers any better to work on before Weiler took over paving?The more I repair Weiler's, the more I despise them LOL So much labor for what should be something relatively simple................extension cylinder changeouts.

Did not realize that. I thought they picked up both.Weiler took over Cat forestry not Cat paving. You can buy a Cat paver with a Weiler screed though and Weiler uses a lot of Cat components in their equipment.
