We’re going to attempt a repair that we have never done before! In this video we need to repair a cracked double acting telescopic hydraulic cylinder that has a crack right around one end of the rod. This rod is from the ejector cylinder off a Caterpillar 657 Twin Drive Scraper. We show the step by step process to do the repair. First we start with the disassembly of the rod by machining in the lathe and we remove the head and inner tube from the rod. We then perform a dye penetrant crack test to check if the inner tube is cracked. We then complete the reassembly of the rod and weld the parts back together before TIG welding the end of the inner tube onto the cylinder rod. It’s another successful repair and we’ve saved our customer a lot of money with this one!
In this video we are using:
- TM-26120G Centre Lathe
- WIA 500i Weldmatic welder
- UniMig 200 AC/DC Tig welder

Your videos are always enthralling. Every time I get to the end of a video, I'm surprised it's already over. Obviously, Kurtis is a mechanical genius and his work ethic and attention to detail are second to none, but Karen does an excellent job filming, and I assume editing the video as well. The shots always seem to cover exactly what I want to see and rarely do I ever find myself wishing for a different angle or feeling like I missed out on something. The clip lengths are perfect as well, showing enough to fully illustrate the current process, but not so much that I get bored and my mind starts to wander. It's easy to appreciate what goes on in front of the camera, but you have to sit back and think about all the things you didn't think about while watching the video to appreciate what happens behind the scenes. Thanks to both of you for your continued excellence! Oh, and happy birthday Homeless! You did a great job demolishing that squeaky toy.

@HereticalBuilder Год назад

I suffered for many years from the same symptoms you described. Chronic anxiety is a living hell, and anyone who hasn't experienced it has no idea. Medication can mitigate the symptoms but doesn't cure the underlying problem IMHO. Standard psychotherapy didn't help me so I went elsewhere. In my case it turned out that the anxiety was caused by the energetic "body" of an unresolved and long forgotten trauma. I know it sounds a little out there but that energy needs to be released. Once released the anxiety ceased for me and never returned. I don't know if your issues are the same as mine were, but it's something to consider. Hang in there, I know it isn't easy.

I'm a retired Master Carpenter from the USA, so I have plenty of time on my hands and I love watching young people with the mad skills I see you have.. I also love that you like working on the lost causes, LOL.. I kinda did the same, I restored hundreds of wood works from vintage homes, trying to save as much of the original as I could.. Also made very good money doing it, even now, there are few people who are skilled enough to do them, My favorite jobs were old churches, they always have the best things to repair, restore & make look like it has never been touched.. Sorry to babble on.. Thank you for sharing mate.. I love your work ethics and how your mind works to solve & fix problems.. Cheers..........

hey mate welcome to the channel, thanks for subscribing and watching the vids. Always great to know they are enjoyed! Cheers

Once the parts were separated the whole thing made a lot more sense. I guess they never intended for that rod to have to be repaired. And Happy Birthday Homey!

@johnwargo8990 Год назад

That has to be a happy customer. And they can see exactly how the part was fixed. No shortcuts or botched repairs. Good job guys. Happy birthday Homey....

Wow another absolutely amazing video you take all the mystery out of how stuff is built and you make the repairs look very simple you don’t overthink it

@markthompson9914 Год назад

Watching u Kurtis was like watching my old man teaching me how too make a 9m shrimp beam trawl. Step by step of clear instructions, and watching how accurate u are with your tools is like watching him turn a length of twine into a patch of mesh with all the mesh being exactly 22mm each and making new the once torn net. Ok u a lot younger than me but you’ve taught this ol dog a few tricks of the trade, plus I do love the once used put the tool back in its place. BTW Happy Birthday Homey 👍✌️🇬🇧

Hollow cylinder with rod connection is my nightmare from a past life 😵‍💫 Thanks for video!

@littlelifters7543 Год назад

My crane boom has three internal cylinders with internal tubes and sequencing valves etc. I dread the day something fails in there.

Those threaded holes in the rod for grub screws also throttle oil flow by the number of screws used. No screws present, wide open flow. Happy Birthday Homey!🎉

Morning Curtis, could have fooled me saying you don't do a lot of TIG, welds look really good. Do you know the company that re chrome's the cyli ders as it would be interesting to follow one of your repairs right through. Regards to you both. Richard 🇬🇧

Kurtis, your knowledge and experience is remarkable. Your tenacity and attitude is inspiring.

What extraordinary welding skills. My early tutor used to say my welding was like the Snowdonia landscape (Snowdonia is a mountain range in Wales) and it's still quite rocky. Oh well! Great filming, Karen - very artistic, atmospheric shooting. Hope Homey doesn't swallow any of that rubber or filling.

Good one Curtis was awesome to get to see the inside of that super complicated 2 stage cylinder don't know where we could have ever gotten to see that anywhere else so thanks for taking us along!!! Keep'em coming.

Damn when you applied the heat to the rod, and it dropped off. I wasn’t expecting that. The man knows his stuff. 💪🏼💪🏼 Always enjoying watching your work. Learning something new all the time.

Hi Curtis, thanks for your technical help. When I use flaw check I use a different rag for each can to prevent cross contamination

That TIG weld was amazing. For someone who doesn’t do it that often, that’s a damn pretty weld. Thanks for that!👍

Banging out the jobs no one else will touch is how you build a reputation as a miracle worker. When you’re starting a business, this is the stuff that gets your name out there and brings customers back time and again.

Happy birthday Homie seems like your “cake “ past quality control , love watching you repair all the different things as we get to learn how they function on their individual machinery .Karen I thought you controlled yourself very well only omitting one expletive when the cylinder dropped

Dear Kurtis was doundly defeated when trying to repair a large cast iron casting. He warned the client in advance that it was a very risky job and, despite his best efforts, it cracked badly after welding. Cast iron is v tricky stuff! But I so admire Kurtis for being willing to give it a go!

@darinwilson8663 5 месяцев назад

@@chrismoyler Yes, he suffered defeat on that one, but that's how he has become so good at what he does. Gotta respect a man that is willing to give it a go on a part like that even though he knows that with cast iron the odds were stacked against him. I bet he tries a different technique on the next one.
