Heavy Machinery Repairs To Keep The World Turning! Croz Custom Metal Fab Welding

 











This was an interesting job at the Recycling Zone in Fairfield. The Main pin on the Baler snapped and launched the main cylinder through the exterior wall. It bent and fractured the 2” thick plate as it twisted out of the pin bore. As a temporary repair (until a replacement plate could be fabricated) I Air Arced out the crack, prepped, and rewelded the plate so they could safely continue operating the machine.

"Small Jobs" are Important Too!

"I've got the Boat Trailer, but How will I tow it behind my 40-foot Gooseneck Trailer?" 


This customer required a 2-inch receiver hitch installed on the rear of his 40-foot 5th wheel trailer strong enough to tow a boat trailer. I removed unneeded plate materials, modified the receiver kit, and extended the original frame to accept the mounting plates of the receiver kit. It was then attached and bolted to the underside of the trailer. 







Ready for towing that boat trailer now!

Croz Welding repairs Boat Engine Valve Cover

I was called out to take over (re-do) a couple of Aluminum Fittings that vent the crankcase gasses off the Valve covers of a Boat. Another Welder tried to accomplish this and failed miserably.

Just another day with my ESAB and PTO Generator…

Welding Skills Bring Me a Wide Variety Of Jobs









This was a fascinating job for the San Jose Stormwater department. They have a lot of underground (30’-40’ below) stormwater separation screens to filter out the leaves, plastic, and silt from the stormwater going to the bay. From time to time, because of large debris and lack of maintenance, the screens get damaged and need to be repaired and/or replaced.

Designing and Building An Invisible Gate

 





I was asked to repair (modify) a fence at one of the gated communities surrounding one of our local golf courses. This is a hidden gate I designed on the fly to allow the occupants to sneak out, right from their back yard. Now you see the opening. Now you don't. Blends right in!
