Repairing Blade on a Caterpillar 140M Motor Grader | FCAW Welding

Ғылым және технология

This video is a job we did for repairing a blade on a Caterpillar 140M Motor Grader. The blade has started to wear through so we are fabricating, fitting and FCAW welding on a “skin” plate to the grader blade. First we need to cut to size the bisalloy plate using an oxy-lpg gas cutting torch. We then fit the skin to the grader blade, tack weld in place before welding the skin to the blade using flux cored (FCAW) wire. We also cut and weld on wear plates to the sides where the blade is prone to wearing out quicker. We finish it off with some hardfacing to the tops of the welds to give it a longer life.

    Thanks ! My hat is off for Your "missus". I bet she already knows about Your work almost as much as You do. In order to get the video right You really need to know about the process You are trying to present. I quess it's part of the video but I have found out that sound editing is also important. Metal workshop sound environment is quite harsh as there is a lot of dynamic around. Getting the angle grinder sound right, for example, is not a trip in the park. Good equipment helps but there is still quite some to do to make it right. I quess Your "missus" does the sound editing as well. Greetings from Finland! (Winter and 20 degrees below zero at the moment).

    In more than 50 years of being around this kind of work its rare to see someone as skilled on both the machine work side and in welding/burning.. Combine this unusual skill with the motivation to take on the "dirty work" and you have a world class craftsman... If you'd like a skill test, stand on the blade, squat down, hold yourself steady with one hand, and put in a great weld, with one hand on the MIG torch, as we see in the video on the back of the blade... And then, in the next video, show you are a master of all the machine tools in the shop.. Can others do it.. Probably, but there aren't many who can and are willing to explain what they are doing.. Great video and it's fun to watch the dog... I almost never comment, but this is too good to miss the chance!! Thanks for sharing your skill!!!

Fantastic part of all of your videos. 2. The outtakes. It takes humility, a good sense of humor, and strong self esteem to include these. 3. Using a welding helmet over the camera so we can see the welding process up close. As someone who has never even touched a welder in my life, it’s really cool to be able to see what is going on inside that bright light and shower of sparks.

    I have done a lot of repair panels on trash trucks. Trash is amazingly abrasive. The prep is cut out the old then tack in the repair panel followed by hours and hours of welding. I recommend always using a face shield when using a torch. I do but had a torch spin in my hand with it up and burned my nose pretty bad. I was looking at what to do next and it caught me by surprise. I have done some replacement curring edges on bobcat buckets as well. That was a nice looking repair on that grader blade.

    Hey Kurtis, Search up I C Weld on KZread. He is amazing with the oxy torch. He shows the big difference in the cut quality by pre-heating. The tips might save you a fair bit of grinding. Keep up the great work! Much better than some other machinists channels (eg KR) where it is 95% talk and 5% action.
