Repairing a Cylinder Barrel for BIG D11 Bulldozer! | Machining, Welding & Honing

We’re about to inject some fresh steel into this cylinder barrel off a massive D11T bulldozer! This isn't your average DIY project. This cylinder barrel is part of a key hydraulic component off a Caterpillar D11T bulldozer blade, responsible for tilting the heavy chunk of blade forward and backwards and also tilting the blade left and right. Watch the power of machining as we disassemble the old damaged barrel before transforming a plain steel tube into the perfect new barrel courtesy of our trusty lathe. Then with the help of a trusty welding torch and a steady hand we’ll weld the new barrel to the cylinder head flange before using our Sunnen horizontal honing machine to hone the new barrel to precision spec. We continue the job by fitting, aligning and tacking the barrel end to the newly honed barrel before some more flawless welding to complete the repair!
In this video we are using:
- Hafco TM-26120G Centre Lathe
- WIA 500i Weldmatic welder
- Sunnen HTA-4100 Horizontal hone

A diesel fired pile driver . One of the main reasons I quit operating equipment and bought my Peterbilt Mobil mechanic welder fabricator truck years ago about 30 to be exact . That was the most monotonous job. I would run one of those when we would get rain and it would be to muddy for grading . It was all the same operating engineers union so that didn’t change me still making the big bucks . Working and maintaining a 40 and 50 piece spread of dozers ,scrapers and compactors,651 water pulls and blades has been a way more rewarding and challenging job that I love . I retired once but they talked me into coming back 3 times now to totally rebuild from front to back a D11 and two 10N cat dozers ,so I guess I’m never going to get bored at 65 years old . 😎

Watching you centre up this job brought back happy memories. We had a lathe in the garage at home and my Dad taught me how to centre up without a scribe block or dial test indicator. It had a taper turning attachment and we used it to sharpen pencils! You have to adjust the speeds and feeds because of the type of wood and the graphite. Not to mention, the tool has to be properly profiled. I learned a lot when I was 10! Don't scream child labour at me, as I loved every minute of it. And that was some 60years ago...

I still find it fascinating that such a cylinder is build up from a combination of welds and friction fits. For example the head flange, I thought it was solid and was wondering how you'd gonna solve the out of spec ID but as you heated it up it it suddenly separated into 2 pieces. I should have known better but it has been a while you took apart a cylinder, especially one from a horror movie.

I guess I never read many of the comments. I’m a hobbyist, and what Kurtis is doing goes so far beyond what I would even try. But I follow quite a number of RU-vid channels. Because they teach me and inspire me to be more than I currently am. But as the last few commenters said. It is not just Kurtis who is a wizard with machines. Karin truly turns this in a next level as well with her filming (and probably editing skills?). So thank you both. And good health and lots of love for you both. You are making a difference, and that is more than most can say.

Your knowledge and experience astound me Kurtis!! Karen does an outstanding job with the filming!! I'd 2:22 like to know what your limits are when it comes to thus kind of work!

One thing that stands out to me is that you guys can laugh at stuff and each other...and of course Homey, George & Co. I still think that dog is grinning at us! Lol It's 11Pm here in So. California, and daylight savings has, for a time, got your videos here an hour earlier. Smooth editing and I do like the clock in the background of some shots.

Hello CEE team, greetings from Belgium. Love to see the good old school way of validating is something is setup correctly in the lathe. Another happy customer, he is right to stick with standard (stock) cylinders, as it just gives a massive headache from a maintenance perspective. Enjoy your weekend.

Hi Kurtis and Karen, like all your subscribers I love watching your videos. The best part of the videos for me is the clear explanations of how/why you do certain processes. Your attention to detail and the high quality of your workmanship is something you should be very proud of. Karen’s filming / editing are fantastic and Homeless is a star in the making. Thanks for sharing and educating us at the same time 👍
