Caterpillar 416 backhoe boom break. A little arc gouging and stick welding should do it. This Texas rock definitely puts heavy equipment to the test, and this is no different. Not quite sure how they pulled this one off. Never seen a backhoe boom break in this particular spot. Either way, its all metal to me! Relax, its only metal right!? haha. This break did present its own challenges though. The metal stretched as it tore so I needed to work around that. Hopefully this video helps show the process well enough for you to be able to achieve the same or better results.
