Here's a few from today, a 30" bucket off a 410 Deere.
I had to pull a bucket of mine back in place some time ago, I had to use two large center bored sections of round stock slipped over the bucket teeth to get some extra leverage to pull it back into place,then I was able to weld it up.

Very interesting stuff. Did you learn this through a welding program/school or is a lot of this on the job training/apprenticeship?

No school, just hands on and always doing the best I could.

No steel added, just beveled the weld joint and welded it up with FCAW process.

Hi Tom
What method of removing the grease/dirt from between the join of bosses welded to plates, before borewelding? (with all the borewelding you carry out, you will know what I mean) I have tried a lot of things cleaning sprays etc. heating up the join to melt out the grease, seems to work best for me. Only it takes a fair bit of time.

I always cook the contaminants with a oxy-acetylene flame.

Wow the work you do is very impressive and looks top notch to me, i just joined and went through page by page and it was an excelent read. I do have a question though. How did you learn to diagnose the problems off all those different machines. I have done a little bit of repair on a jeep wrangler and i just used the repair manual to know exactly what was wrong, and if i was wrong i could always return the part back to the auto store. Do you have something like a repair manual for all those machines? Or is that just years of experence that you use to diagnose different problems? I just find it amazing that you can diagnose the problems so easily. Keep up the good work:thumbsup:thumbsup

Thanks Nick, as far as diagnosis goes you need service manuals, experience, and patience. You can't just guess or start replacing parts, if I did that my customers would not call me any more.
