  • Have these guys ever heard of a grinder and weld prep?? That job will be good for one overload and it will break again.

    Legend has it there are truck rears in India made of 100% welding rods.

    Ouwerwets degelijk “hand” werk metveel materiaal kennis . Prima resultaat.❤❤❤

    They have all the necessary basic tools required to execute the extreme rectification job coupling to the skilled worker in place make this task a successful accomplishment. Well done my friend......appreciate all the hard work put in for this video.
  • I'm no welder, but I worked in a foundry. This is a dubious repair.

    Usually like what these guys try to do, but not this one! No weld preparation. Original reinforcement (not good enough for what they do to the truck) Is then cut off , but replaced with equally bad weld prep. And its now got a butt weld right near the max stress point! Surprised they actually did remove the reinforcing plate---I expected them to just weld the lot in one go !!
  • It all comes down to overloading the truck, put 20 ton on something meant to carry 10 ton, something will fail.

    Nice bead work. That repair is good for at least an additional 2500 kgs of gross truck weight.

    Erschreckend wie weit diese Menschen der Steinzeit sehr nahe sind 😢
  • @saleem956ify
    very well done, I have seen some of these repairs last long considering how they overload these trucks...
  • @Rollin-With-Kirk
    See everyone doesn't realize See all the dirt everywhere, well that get's into the welds and makes the welds stronger than the original forging because it's better than borax, and see they don't wear gloves either and so some skin cells get in there also to help with no porosity and yeah 100% almost better than new, Oh and their shoes with no steel toe helps with their welding balance! =)

    I LOVE WATCHING THESE GUYS AND THAT CAPED CRUSADER
  • @tomt9543
    I guess this rear end was trashed before, given the fact there’s no gears in it and the face of the center was blanked off by a welded plate
  • @user-gf2kc3bn5m
    And why did you show the repair of a truck axle when they should have just replaced it 😮😮😅😅
  • @BubuMarimba
    these guys do miracles! In EU the workers will just order the part from the original manufacturer and pay like 1/3 of the truck cost if not more and guess what? The new part will fail next week.

    the titles are the best parts of these uploads!

    Truckers Motto "It is not loaded until it is OVERLOADED!" Good welds, bad prep and too thin and probably soft, doubler/reinforcement. Truss or gussets there
