Intentional Disregard

- Intentional disregard, Maybe considered the reason for not doing anything, when there is the need for a little maintenance, all equipment wears after time but doing nothing can lead to the extremes. This project displays some signs of that. We start off with an over view of what might be repaired and what needs to be replaced on a worn out, quick connect attachment on an old skid-steer. Welding and machining starts off at the PlasmaCAM.
;{)
Loved all of the double entendres in the opening monologue. Too funny - but humor can get you thru the difficult times.
That plasmacutter really is an incredible machine. What would take hours to cut and grind by hand is done in minutes on the machine.
And you can store and repeat the shape as many times you wish.
This looks like a very interesting restoration job, which really involves most of the different skills that makes you a professional machinist.
Thanks for sharing Mr Fenner.
Cut in 2 min with gas torch
@@9534alex Yes I know. You are an incredible Superman. And you wont even need to finish up the part after gas cutting.
You are a real pro, best in the world, like your President 🤣🤣🤣
No need to get defensive I was just stating maybe a more low tech way th do the job I'm not by any means the best despite my efforts and finally my president? I'm not American
@@9534alex is right ,,, Well thats how it was done by me and many others ,, year in year out ,, plasma is only out 30 years , and flame cutting is very efficient ,, nothing against this method by Keith,, just there are other ways to skin the cat . and if your doing more than a ONE off , its then the savings come into play ....
Holy crap!!! I'm a mechanic for equipment rental company, I've seen cases of wear and neglected , but this definitely takes the prize!!!!!!!!
I think it was 1973 our crew forman and I went from Kansas City south to about Nevada, MO to pick up a back hoe and 1 1/2 ton or 2 ton truck from a crew that had finished their project. When we got both vehicles back to KC we had to take each in for major rebuild as the front end was gone and hardly steerable on the truck and the end of the stick the bucket attached to was so wollowed out none of the bushings were there. The truck front end was about $1500 to $2000 and the backhoe had to have a new end welded on with all new bushings and new pins plus other work to the tune of about $3500. The company put the worn, mangled pieces in the bucket so we could see the damage. For the want of a $15 grease gun and the omph to use it all this damage was done.
Keith, Intentionally Disregard in all directions this could be a miracle in the making if it ever going to function again. Enjoyed the video thanks for sharing.!.!.!.
Interesting unique work, always a pleasure to watch skilled craftsmen work. Keep up the great work, Keith.
enjoyed....I like using blue tape for copying a part, start at the base and lapping/build up layers towards the top, then hammer/knife trim like a gasket, lift the tape pattern of the part, takes the guessestimate adjusting out since it is following the part.....lift off tape and transfer to part or scanner
What a treat for morning coffee. Kieth, thanks so much for sharing your projects. Have a Merry Christmas!
Amazing work Keith, really looking forward to the rest of this series!!!!
"Intentional Disregard" Great title to a great project video series Kieth.
Keith, you are an outstanding craftsman. Thank you.
Nearly 40 years in construction and handyman'ng and I come to learn there 2 designs in scrapwood knock together saw horses.
And Keith has one style right there on display at 1:10.
The other is as varied as everyone's opinion.
There are no plans, neither ever was a how-to lesson... just something handed down by sight til it's firmly rooted in our DNA.
Good to see with all their cuts here in use in a machining shop
Hello Keith, This is very timely for me as I am in the process of rebuilding a worn out clamshell bucket. Similar problems as your piece, bushings completely gone and lots of parent material missing. I am looking forward to seeing how you bore out the ears you just cut as I have a similar job on my bucket. Thanks, Ken
These are the types of repairs for well over 40 years now. A silk purse from a sow's ear. Thanks bud. It never ceases to amaze me about peoples lack of taking a few minutes with a grease gun.That plasma table is amazing. Remember when we did this by hand with oxy/acc. ? LOL !
This is SO much like the jobs the ships' Hull Technicians and Machinist Repairmen did on the tenders I was assigned to. I helped as much as I could in the foundry (heat treat, expanding the material in the furnace, etc.) but I loved watching the guys and girls work on the thick stuff. Can't wait for the next chapter in this series.
Another great video. Don't think I'll ever do a job such as that one. But every little bit of info can turn into a life saver down the road. Merry Christmas and take care.
Great work. Great experience with plasma cam and software. I like the way you approach things. Great machinist Thank you
Good project. Looking forward to the follow up.
Thanks for the video.
Lovely work Keith. Great content. Many thanks
I enjoy your approach to making new parts. Waiting to see the rest of the repairs
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Another job well done sir! What would folks who treat equipment like that do without folks like you!
Keith I cant believe what a good job the plasma cam did on metal that thick
joe tiller, I wonder what the company says is the maximum that plasma cutter can cut, probably 3/4” and Mr Fenner pushes it to a full inch and makes it look like there’s nothing to it!
Great work Keith, thanks for sharing, really enjoying the project thus far. Merry Christmas from Across The Pond.
I love these bigger, heavier jobs. Looking forward to the next episode.
You should weld it with dual shield for a change People don’t show enough of that and a lot really don’t even know what it is.
Looks like the type of jobs I usually get! It is going to be a lot of welding and grinding to salvage that pivot ear. I think I would be tempted to just use the plasma to cut a new one of those too. Even if it was too think and I had to cut it out of 2 plates and sandwich them together. I think it would be faster and cleaner repair.
Howdy
Dang Keith . this video is far to short .just getting hooked on seeing how you approach this repair .Oh well part 2 S.A.P.
Great profile copy technique, yes, definitely in need of some repair, or life saving 🤔.
Thanks for sharing.
Hi Keith, This remind me so of "I heard some strange noises", Merry Christmas.
Really nice fab design lesson, remember the old days of torch and grind? Nice work Keith!
Mr. Fenner, I am sure you will Getter Done, but I was literally cringing while watching the intro where you explained what that thing is and the damage done to it. Man, oh man! Cheers!
Michael Ogden: Your right, was saying to self - damn that was abused to the nines. Total lack of respect to the machine & it working parts. No call for it if just a little TLC was used & Brains!
Just a slight bit of wear !
CAD - cardboard aided design! Love it!
Beautiful work as always Keith, I will look forward to the next installment :-) Best regards and have a great Xmas.
Nice to see the old table in use again. First video of yours I watched was when you sanded down a cylinder head or some such on sand paper on that table. Regards
LOTS of torching, grinding and welding, the shop will need a good cleaning after that job, better consider it in the "Cost for the damages" that customer is going to pay for... 😱😉👍
Interesting project...!!!
I love this stuff. ready for the fix. good to see you Keith
Thank you for sharing this video Keith
Nice to see Brian Bloc is the only one to get into the heavy stuff :-)
Man, the skill and talent. Very impressive.
Shameless plug! X) thanks for the upload spud!! That piece of equipment is what we like to call, wallered the hell out!
You the best champ.! Greetings from Craftman in Denmark. You my man,. Merry X Mas and Happy new year
It looks a little worn. Looking forward to see it fixed with a little bit of your massage! ;)
Excellent work Keith!
Excellent 😎👍
As always great to watch a skilled guy making easy work of a big mess
The plasma table is really worth its weight, and pulls its weight. Gonna be an overall interesting series.
Man, those old Walker Turner tables are really something
using a camera to record measurements is an excellent way of getting readings that would take quite a bit of time to obtain and record. Genius!
Skid steer, for those (few, like me) who had no idea what it is: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skid-steer_loader#/media/File:Skid_Loader_anim.gif
Had to wire my jaw back into position after watching the Plasma-Cam cut through that thick steel like it was butter. AMAZING!!
Wow that is a fun job thanks for sharing we us
looking good Keith,you're really taking a challenge again with such projects,love to see you get her done!
Dolphins / Pork-chops to Skid-steer...you Sir are an alchemist..;-)

[Edit] Re. the Sharpie on the template: I do the reverse and put a bit of black card on top to give a dark background to scan against.
Thats a good tip!
@@imagineaworld Has other uses. When scanning a double-sided page on thin paper it stops print on the reverse bleeding through as everything on that side is now black.
I guess Im pretty off topic but does anybody know a good website to stream newly released series online?
@Joseph Westin I watch on flixzone. Just search on google for it =)
@Westley Clayton Yea, been watching on Flixzone for since april myself :)
Hi Keith,looks like a 15,000 dollar replacement part.If you decide to weld on new brackets i have a 600 amp arc welder im not useing.haha.
You show a good example of lubricate eczema 🙂 It hurts in the soul of mechanic. Iger to see Nice old resturation. GOD JUL ☃️ from Sweden 🇸🇪
That plasma cutter is amazing cutting that thick material
Keith
Hell that is in good shape welder up and run it. I've seen this so much over the years it just doesn't surprise me. Good work.
Equipment services (grease the pivots check engin oil and air filter) was the responsibility of the operator. every single time anything ceased up or fell apart the operator claimed it was greased before every shift and that they spent so much time doing so that they were unable to get any work done. So after many years of seeing things like the example you have . I have concluded grease is bad for equipment.
As far as the uneven wear is concerned, it only had one cylinder and that cylinder was one the side so the load is disporporational between the pivot points.
Sure doesn't help the pivot on the right having the one ram so close to it. All the torque is magnified there. I bet the wear would have been more even if it was centered in the bucket. And some grease would have helped. LOL.
About damn time someone other than myself "Feel and Honor,Respect" the pledge of allegiance
I'm with you Keith on the blame game. Somebody didn't do their job we have work orders in our company and they are followed up on. Great video
Keith, nice CAD design before going to the PlasmaCam -- "Cardboard-Aided Design"! ;)
Along with the obvious repairs I think that this would be a great time to create the appropiate brackets to install a 2nd cylinder.
Looks like a good use-case for evap-o-rust! 😎
Any thoughts as to why one ear has extreme wear and the other still has a partial bushing left? Maybe the machine that hooks to that is kitty wampus?
Hydraulics are only on the one side so it concentrated the force there. Likely it's off a JCB or similar one arm machine that doesn't have any provisions for another cylinder.
Just need some apple sauce to go with those pork chops! Nice content and methodical approach to a project that has no drawings.
Well i think its safe to say the owner got maximum value before it needed repairing. Be interesting to see how poor condition the rest of the machine is in.
Man that plasma cut was nice for 1" thick. Was that really only 60 amps? That plasma-CAM is built here in colorado, is that right? If memory serves from old vid that is a ThermalArc Plasma cutter? Great vid. Thanks!
Have a Merry Christmas,
I like the new opening !
Not as bad as some i've seen, but still, a big job. Kinda reminds me of our third scraper we bought, paid around 5k for it, because of its poor state of disrepair, shot engine (turned out to be a seized pump) and general lack of maintenance. Initially for spares, but our savvy guy figured that it was a good machine under all the abuse. You should've seen the waller in the joints, i swear, on the rams, you could probably fit one and a half shafts, and when we got it, there was a piece of wood parquet stuck in to make up the slack. :))
Hola amigo Keith,um prazer ver seus trabalhos!Fico feliz poo mais este episódio e desde já aguardando próximo!Forte abraço!
I'm glad I took better care of my Bobcat; I think I'll send a link to this video to the guy I sold it to, just to keep him on the true maintenance path.
Hi Keith great project top skills, personally I love doing this type of repair find it a good challenge.
I wish I had a plasmacam I have to oxy cut and grind all attachments. Have great Christmas and Newyear
and an easier year 2020.
cheers Dibbo
Keith, speaking of letting things go for too long....
Don't you think it's about time to replace that socket retaining ring on your impact anvil? It drives me nuts when a socket keeps falling off over and over and over again. 😏
Looking forward to seeing the next chapter.
Love your show Keith! Are you going to gouge it with the plasma? Some machines have that function... Ive actually never used that function myself and I think its often overlooked. maybe a CZcams first hehe think of the views. cheers :-)
Since the black gives you a better contrast for the scanning, maybe try a white paint pen on black paper. I haven't completely switched to paint pens, from Sharpies, but are using paint pens for about half of what I used to do with Sharpies.
Sharpie makes a good paint pen. Dykem makes them as well. The paint pens that have been around for a long, the yellow ones used in wrecking yards, (can't recall the brand name), tend to leak, and get messy real quick. (especially if you forget to re-cap and then shake it. there's a selection of different colored spatter in various places around the shop, which prompted me to stop buying that brand.)
The Sharpie brand paint pens don't seem to do that. Haven't used the Dykems enough to know about them. All of the brands make regular and fine point paint pens, the fine are better for smaller lettering/numbering and pattern making. I usually get both.
Something I've done which I couldn't do with felt pens is institute a color code for fasteners. Red is metric. SS is blue. It sure helps when you're putting away used fasteners, and looking for them, later. I even went as far as buying red and blue shelf bins. Just couldn't do it with felt pens.
Hope this helps ya.
Great vid Keith merry christmas keep on keeping on Bud
Wow, that thing looks like it was built heavy enough but man, did they destroy that poor thing! It looks like the operator was just pounding on it and his supervisors just let him go at it or told him to!
No maintenance to to point of becoming worn out. Then after it was nobody cared anymore.
Excellent Video Keith . Glad you listen to the few of us FB ppl lol
Always fascinating.
Thanks Keith
I thought that plasma table was for up to a 1/4" at best. Had no idea it could cut that well at an inch thick.
@MIDBC1 Wow!
makes me want a plasma cam set up.
That thing has been ride hard. If it can be fuxed your the man for the kob. Hey keith where did you get your long reach vise grips. I have searched every store lowes home depot and cant find anything but small 7 in ones
Another interesting episode. Rebuilding things you just can't buy any more saves a lot of valuable "cores" from the scrap heap.
Rather than using a Sharpie to darken the material, you could spray-paint it. Or you could use black paper and a silver Sharpie. Funny to see you "sneaker net" the files, rather than put either thing on a network like the CNC guys. Old school still works for lower batch volumes.
Who made the computer cabinet? Interesting to see the speakers and such; unique for a "machine driver" computer, though I'll bet you'd be able to use 1/2 as deep nowadays.
What a mess! Good luck with this one. Making that pattern..Wow..OK
What a train wreck! Talk about abuse and neglect. Going to be a project for sure.
Glad you made a video of this 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Love your PAD (Paper Aided Design) technique ;-)
Merry Christmas Keith!
top work as always keith, hat plasma cuts real goo on 25mm at 60 amps
Is the chuckle at 16:22 because you now have the start of a template for a marlin (or other sailfish)?
I love your videos, Keith. Did you get a new shop?
Greetings from London, UK.
Hopefully, we will see PART 3 soon..
nice job.
Amazing that plasma cuts them pork chops that thick.
"One of them's a little noisy" - proceeds using a tool that's several times as noisy. @29:55
Hi Keith! Maybe you answered already, but why the change in your opening tagline? Merry Xmas and Happy New Year
Merry Christmas Keith
