Been to one or two Cat factories when I drove for Keen. Seeing the steel transformed into useable pieces that would in the end become Huge bucket loaders-back hoes-or dozers was too say the least Interesting. Seeing a huge end loader broken down for shipment then reassembled at the job site-again Interesting.
When I was driving a concrete mixer in Colorado all of us had to wear many hats besides our main jobs. Our lead welder dragline operator heavy equipment operator and truck driver-

-was showing me how to hard face on his dragline bucket among other things. Even with full welding leathers on and new welding gloves and the darkest shade in the helmet it was still very BRIGHT while using the amps needed for hard facing. While i am familiar with welding i will state here i am NOT a welder.
Interesting vid but missing the real noise heat and smells.

RIDE SAFE.
