Great job. I relax watching you. An old Amish guy taught me to light a candle and put it on my workbench when I am working. He said candles burn slowly and so should a craftsman. He said any time you feel like you are rushing blow the candle out and come back later. I think this same Amish guy taught you how to work.

One of the reasons I enjoy watching you work so much is because I find that you and I think and work very similarly when doing welding repairs. It’s almost a little scary. Keep posting great content. It’s a pleasure to watch your strategy and methods and skill. Keep up the great work!

Looks like a great repair. One way I like to gusset a round repair is cut off some flat bar to an appropriate lengthXwidth, weld to one side and use a jack on the opposite side to form it to the radius. Then you have a virgin steel gusset around the whole piece, though the two section gusset should strengthen it quite a bit also Some of my favorite tools for prepping in field repairs are the metabo 7” tube sander, metabo 4” burnisher and the metabo chamfer tool Cheers buddy

Nice job. Add plate on either side so your weld is continuous past edges then grind off after. Needle gun good idea too helps relieve stress build up plus gets slag off quick. Should really be nothing wrong with the repair vs the new one if done right but pin should be a proper fit as the slop will cause it to beat on it which may break it again.

Just a personal thing, this job is big enough some run out tabs might be worth using. I've rarely use them because I almost always stick weld any high stress joint. I really want to look into dual shield. Understand it has almost the same penetration stick does and builds faster than mig.

It’s a temporary fix. Or I would have used run out tabs. Dual shield has the same strength as stick depending on the wire selection. And a way faster deposition rate. Only flaw is sometimes the wind will get to you.

@@OFW I got my first welder back in 1985. Done one or two beads since then. I still feel like a newbee almost everyday there is so much to learn. For the wind I was thinking a folding screen like you see the pretty lady changing behind in the movies but bigger and some sand bags to keep it from flying away. Another reason I like stick, doesn't care the wind. I have been hit with a gust strong enough to push me off the weld though. Can't account for everything in life. Good thing I had loads of room before I got in trouble by being pushed around by the wind.

Excellent job! May I suggest that any repairs you make and safety recommendations that you could give to the company regarding there equipment be put into writing and sent via recorded mail delivery to the company, and keep at least one copy for yourself, kept away from your home and office address, as in the event of equipment failure, the company will be looking for "A peg to hang the law suit on" Keyboard commandos ALWAYS know what's best for the company, but not you. A trailer break down on a public road COULD result in fatal injury to a member of the public resulting in millions of dollars going away from the company. Just making them aware.
