Repair BROKEN Tooth on BIG Excavator Bucket | Gouging & Welding

This video is a job we did to repair a broken tooth adapter on a GP bucket for a 50 Ton Hitachi zaxis ZX490 Excavator. The tooth and adapter has completely broken off the bucket. So we need to repair and replace the tooth adapter and tooth. This shows the step by step process to air arc gouge (carbon arc gouging) the broken adapter off and prep the bucket before fitting and welding on the new adapter. We also fit the new tooth and turn the gum guards for a bit of extra life.

In this video we are using:
- Lincoln Electric DC-400 Welder
- WIA 500i Weldmatic welder
