I've resisted the urge to comment on the videos involving welding until now. The comments are out of hand on this one. Yes, I am a professional welder just to get that out of the way first. tl/dr version: this temporary fix was fine.
Long version:
-Keep in mind this is a temporary fix, he said so.
-The amount of heat he put into the lbj was not enough to anneal the socket or the ball, just the outer bits where the splines are. Since it is being anchored by the weld at those points anyway, who cares.
-If the grease had boiled, there very likely would have been evidence of this visible from the camera vantage point.
-General safety bs: gimme a break, not even going into detail on that except to say the actual danger was incredibly minimal.
-Weld quality was fine. Strong does not always equal pretty. Appearance was not an issue here anyway because a)he explained the situation to the owner, who is really the only one who matters, and b)who is going to see that aside from another technician. He nailed the joint and got enough penetration to get the job done for its intended purpose. This weld repair will very likely last longer than the lbj.
-The only thing I personally would have done differently is position the welds in spots that would make it easier to cut them out if that became necessary, which is unlikely in this case.
Nice work Ray, nothing wrong with what you did, in my opinion. Love your videos, love your work ethic. Keep 'em coming.
