This video is a job we did to replace a cracked skin on a tilt bucket for a 25 Tonne CAT Excavator. The bucket is off a dry hire excavator and had a bit of abuse and is now worn thin in areas and started to crack along the edges and weld joints. So we need to replace the entire bucket skin. This shows the step by step process to air arc gouge (arc gouging) the old skin off and prep the bucket before fitting and welding in the new skin (bis 80 wear plate). We also add some extra protection to the bucket using high tensile wear plate.
In this video we are using:
- Lincoln Electric DC-400 Welder
- WIA 500i Weldmatic welder
