Mini Excavator Bucket Repairs

Today we repair this small excavator bucket, when it comes to crack repair, gouging is the majority of the work then we weld it up! Stick welding is my preferred repair method when it comes to equipment. I do occasionally mig weld cracks but smaw is always number one with me .
