Ha ! I was a machinist in the Australian outback Opal fields 20 years ago I'm looking at some Tungsten facing tool he's braised on some bar . I smashed some Tungsten off a deep ground rock drill with a big hammer once looking for some nice sharp bits to weld onto a bar to use on my lathe for a job.. That was well over 20 years ago and I'm still using that tool for different jobs today.. Well done boys...!

Scrap in the west but these guys are using what they've got to get it done. You've gotta be impressed with them for keeping the vehicles going. I can't wait to see them fixing a Tesla!

Those craftsmen remind me of the old repair shops here in Canada 125 years ago.

Yes that bad boy sure was cracked and it still took 135 tons to snap it and who knows how long they drove it that way if that weld is just 70% of what it was new it will last long enough to more than offset the cost of the repair and after overloading it and driving it over what would be called a jeep trail in the USA along with all the other abuse they throw at it it will do just what they EXPECT to do it will SNAP and then it will go to the shop and the whole process will start over again IF IT WASN'T PROFITABLE THEY WOULD NOT DO IT that's just the economy there they roll with with what they have and they do it QUITE WELL within the parameters with witch they have to work HATS OFF TO THESE HARD WORKING MEN

Fine work boys, keep it up. This is the only way to ever know how much you can really load in your truck : )

Hasn't anybody else notice that there wasn't a ground clamp on the axle when he was welding on it? In all these videos there's never a ground lead attached to the part in the lathe. These professionals are grounding the welded part with the ground lead attached to the lathe frame. I was taught eons ago that you NEVER grounded through a bearing. The best way ever to trash all the bearings in that lathe.

Brakes aren't designed to stop heavy trucks. The transmissions are. Brakes are secondary to properly driving the truck, meaning understanding what gear to be in and being able to downshift along with the brakes. Brakes alone will NEVER stop a heavy truck. This is the reason they have manual transmissions (aside from the fact that manual tranny's can also handle a bigger load).

I drive commercially and have witnessed people dying because they were in the wrong gear on a grade and couldn't stop the truck. Usually they just kill themselves but there are other times where innocent people die because idiots like you don't know wtf they are doing or talking about.
