Watch this satisfying transformation of rebuilding the steering cylinders off our Franna Crane! First up, we have a bit of a battle on our hands with a clevis seized on a rod. But with some strategic drilling, boring, and careful removal we free the clevis while saving its threads. The culprit? Roll pins AND Loctite! Next, we use the lathe to turn some tough induction hardened material into two brand new cylinder rods. After getting all the components cleaned, we install new seal kits in both the piston and glands. Then, the hydraulic press comes into play for the meticulous reassembly of both cylinders. Finally, a fresh coat of paint completes the rebuild and gives our steering cylinders a well-deserved makeover. This video takes you straight to the action, showing the entire satisfying process from start to finish. Stay tuned for the next Franna crane project video or catch up on all the previous videos below 😎👇

@SlartiMarvinbartfast exactly, I work on a fair amount of kubota tractors, and toyota forklifts. The oem replacement part costs are just ridiculous...

@Beakerbite 3 месяца назад

@@SlartiMarvinbartfast It's not all exorbitant. Curtis doesn't ever talk about the cost of shop time because he doesn't want his competition to know what he charges, but it's a real cost. Manufacturers have to keep molds, jigs, and whatever else special tooling they require to build bespoke parts. That space and maintenance of tooling comes at a cost and has to be factored in to the sale price of replacement parts. For anything that's kept in stock, there's also the stocking cost to maintain storage of the available parts. Curtis is definitely saving customers money and doing good work recycling as much material as possible, but he cannot replicate the hardest manufacturing process, casting. Any issues with casting require paying for those custom parts to be remade which is the bulk of the expense of new parts. And those extremely expensive parts typically have very large castings that are even more expensive to produce. So the manufacturers are definitely taking a juicy profit, but the parts are expensive to manufacture.

Homeless's snorts and snuffles are always the cherry on top of your videos for me!

This crane is gonna be worth more more than a new one when Kurtis is done working his magic on it

Kurtis looking (and sounding) good with those aftermarket chompers!
