I’m retired from an entirely unrelated business, but I had two customers like this owner who insisted on bandaids until things broke to where nobody could fix them. They funded my retirement plan in a handsome way for almost a decade, and they kept calling even after I retired. Seems nobody else needed their money bad enough to what I did for so long. Ironically, they knew what my hourly rate was, and paid it for bandaids when they could have saved big bucks by simply letting me replace their broken crap. At the end of the day I would do anything they wanted as long as it didn’t violate codes or cause safety issues. Money is money!

Capital eschews no profit, or very small profit, just as Nature was formerly said to abhor a vacuum. With adequate profit, capital is very bold. A certain 10 per cent. will ensure its employment anywhere; 20 per cent. certain will produce eagerness; 50 per cent., positive audacity; 100 per cent. will make it ready to trample on all human laws; 300 per cent., and there is not a crime at which it will scruple, nor a risk it will not run, even to the chance of its owner being hanged. If turbulence and strife will bring a profit, it will freely encourage both.

It would be nice to have that in a shop. To add about 3/8" of weld to the front, then mill off about the same from the rear and weld 2" wide beveled strips to the front to get it closer to flat, then put a roughly 1/2"-3/4" plate on each side with alot of 2" plug welds or just make a new one! And make a wear plate, 3/8" plate over the front with a 2" round bar welded to the front, with hard facing along the sides, run beads from top to bottom. On the front round bar, at the top skip a inch on each side add another bead top to bottom, skip about a half inch. Add another bead, maybe weld a cross hatch pattern between beads have recessed hole to bolt this piece on, a couple 3/8" holes from back to front may work, a 3/8" hole in a 4" thick bar isn't going to weaken it much, have maybe 4 long 3/8 grade 8 bolts should hold on the u shaped cover . 3/8" thick maybe 1/2" with welds, and the front edge with the holes drilled and tapped. Bring 2-3/8" to 2-1/2" thick with the threads being only , 1/2" deep to prevent dirt from damaging threads after wear, hopefully the hard facing would slow the wear, having the front nearly cover with hard facing.. maybe making the front wider and harder it can take the wear from the other 80%of the structure, the design can use improvement

@@OFW I was first introduced to T2 as it was used in injection molding to increase wear resistance. An ingredient added to plastics, specifically polypropylene, to add strength is calcium, which abraids the steel of the mold under the required 10,000 psi pressure during injection. Other, more specialized steels like Xalloy are used for the barrels and mixing screws. Because of my experience with T2 I often specified it when needed for its wear resistance properties.

Ripper Shank worn out from 4 inches (?) plus the Shin Guard, to a sharp edge thin as a knife, on less than 5 months... amazing! For sure they don't understand what "too worn out" means or care about "maintenance"... if they let the Shin Guard to get lost. Interesting way to re-build the thickness of the blade, on the field... but if it was me, I would have advised the client to do a replacement of the blade instead of a repair at field... on the way that CCE Australia did (when the tip broke): to cut all the Ripper Shank length that was worn out, and to weld a new 4 inches solid plate shaped as the blade from factory... on the same way as if it was tore apart on any point. About the Pin Retainer, I would have gouged the triangular plate on it, which is shorter (or has the tip broken), and replace it with a new triangular plate to anchor the Pin on the "socket" (the one with screws), as it was intended on the factory design... on pair with the other side, where it's triangular plate could be anchored on the socket as default (as shown on the previous video). If you feel like it, comment to me what you think about this... for the next time that it would need a repair. Regards from Spain.

Yeah oh my God really. I cant believe they just don’t replace the ripper arm. And even if unavailable why did hey wait sos long to patch her up, guess they never thought of hardfacing.

Nice work polishing a t##d. Ripper has been seriously abused by neglect of service.

I'm curious to see how it holds up. I thought cutting out and welding in one giant plate would have been better, but maybe not a fix that could be made by one man in the field. It's amazing how much wear occurred.

Is a good customer the one that constantly break things and always needs repairs? Or is the worst customer the one that constantly calls your for cheap repairs to always have something to break? Being able to say "Fuck Off" to a customer, it's priceless. --MasterCard
