Saturday Night Special 117 

I have worked on a bunch of those cylinders for my brother. He has a landscaping business. Always bending the rods on backhoes or snow plows. Very nice to have met you! All; the best! Mike

I truly appreciate your videos. You are a very good teacher and present with class and humility. Thanks

Thanks, Adam. Great video as usual. So great to meet you at the NYC CNC Open House. My friend Sam and I were like a couple little kids running around talking to people and shaking hands. Sam kept going back to the swap tables, picking through the goodies. Thanks, John

Thank you Adam... hope your trips a fun one. Can't get enough of of the great lessons you bring to RU-vid.

Thanks Adam, watching how to replace the seals on a hydralic cylinder was a good education. I probably won't need to do it but it's nice to know if I had to I could change the seals myself.

Hi Adam, just a little info on rebuilding hydraulic cylinders. I have done Cat, Komatsu and Yanmar cylinder rebuilds and inside the gland, aka the cylinder head, there is another replaceable wear item. If you look on a manufacturers parts diagram and parts list you will see a bushing inside the gland, it's a part I always replace when doing a repack. If the bushing is worn the piston rod travel off center and will wear out the new seals fast. You have to put some cuts on the old bushing and fold it in on itself to remove it, then you have to press the new bushing in. I make a little install tool so not to crush the new bushing when pressing it into the gland. I don't know if your cylinder has the bushing, but if there is one, its pretty important to replace it.

Nice to see more pictures from Antarctica from around the same time I was there. Penguins are simply adorable in the wild.

G'day Adam my 2 favourite things working in the workshop and smokin BBQ. That was great showing us your in barby set up and what you were cooking while you were knocking those cylinders out. Good on ya mate. Cheers Derek.

It's always gratifying to know that pricey parts can be renewed.....provided suff. efford and patience are supplied....

I've manufactured hydraulic cylinders for over 12 years and internal glands are a pain in the ass! They can bind up really easy when screwing them in and when they do you can't back them out. lol!

I love Saturday so I can watch the great Abom79 work his magic great video Adam thanks for sharing

Adam Thank you again for sharing your work and your life. Much appreciated, It was very nice to see Stella too :-)

Thanks for posting, Adam, even though you are out of town. That chicken on the grill sure looked good. Enjoy!

I bought about 25 end mills on ebay. They were shipped in one of those small flat rate boxes. No extra tape on the ends. It arrived torn and empty. The mailman held it up and said "Was there supposed to be something in here?" He's a genius. Now I always wrap plenty of tape all the way around both ends.

Great video on hyd. cylinders I have rebuilt several on the farm, you are right some of them are a dog to get apart maybe pipe wrench, good looking chicken on the barb.

Lol. The mail lady knows you have been getting heavy iron in the mail for several years! I am sure if there are any loose machine parts or stray bits of metal at the post office she knows it goes to your house. Thanks for all the hard work on the videos each week. I enjoy watching them every week.

Adam, just had to rebuild a steering cylinder from a Ford 555B backhoe. The rod was pitted and the end cap didn't want to come off. Ended taking it to a one man shop in Oxnard CA. The gentleman went to trade school in 60s and hasn't been out of work ever since. He turned a new chrome rod and piston. Installed new seals. The ends are like tie rod ends and the rubber caps were missing. He said they were solid so I installed zerk fittings and made some seals out of old shock bushings drilled out with a hole saw. These parts were no longer available through the local dealer, works better than ever. Randy

Once again I shall be sad not to make the Bash -- too far and too costly, but sure would like to see you guys. Nice hydraulic cylinders.

Really enjoyed this series, I own a Mahindra 3616 which has almost that identical hydraulic cylinders. Also, have an old Hinimoto E18 which I am restoring. Thanks for the post.

Great video and work, thanks for sharing !!! Have a safe weekend. !

I need to figure out how to scan some pages out of my dividing head operators manual. It gives all the counts for spacings and all the various angles as well. It is several charts of good info for setups. Great meeting you at the event and travel safe!

Bummer on the wheel sizes. I guess I should have sent you a couple of them that were worn down a little. Hopefully you can find somebody who can use them. I know Stan used one of the course ones when he ground the WIYB machinist vise.I hope you are enjoying Ohio and it isn't raining too much there.

Glad to see Stella relaxing after a hard morning's work .....

I love seeing Stella. I know she is gone on to doggy Heaven, but watching some of the older vids with her in them still makes me smile! Love the work, past and present, keep it up big man!

Thanks for another good SNS. The hydraulic cylinder rebuild showed how simple they really are. As you said several times CLEAN is important. Jeff

Excellent content Adam, you make it look so easy and simple. I bet your buddy will be happy with the outcome.

Thanks very much for the tutorial on rebuilding hydraulic cylinders, but your videos are making me hungry these days! I swear I can smell that chicken cooking!

Hi Adam!...Thanks for posting my photos!...I don't coment too often but i watch your videos every week!... Another very cool SNS!..Thanks again!!!

A "high pressure" repair and a "low and slow" meal...LOL...LOL Great stuff!!

loved this weeks show they just keep getting better and better . keep up the good work

Great photo challenge pics this week!

Adam, excellent video! And I wish you very happy day worker, Greetings from Argentina!

Great video Adam, I have leaned a lot from your videos, I have been watching all your old ones, since I am verily new to your channel, I am trying to catch up.....lol .... I was very sorry to hear of the loss of your dad, I can tell from your demeanor, manners, and work ethic that he was a great dad, and person. I have enjoyed meeting all your family, specially Stella!!! Hope you have a great trip to Ohio, this weekend. You wont be to far from me in Terre Haute Indian. I hope you don't get to wet..........Kevin

Thanks for the video Adam and safe travels!

Pleasure meeting you in Zanesville last Saturday! I'll be ordering one of those good lookin' shirts (might even help me "4-jaw" a little bit better! lol ).

"Can you smell that? It smells GOOOOD"! The BBQ Pit Boyz are winners in my book. Maybe next BBQ Adam, you can exercise your "Pit Master Privilege" lol Have a great meet and greet weekend. Drive safe. Cheers.

great meeting you at the open house!! Really enjoyed hearing the Q&A.

That barbeque looks so good. I'm going to have to stop by your house.

nice job on those rams Adam last one i took apart somebody had welded the piston on turned into a big job just to replace the gland seals

Remember kids, when it comes to packing boxes for shipping... if it shakes, it breaks.

Nice SNS as always, thanks for sharing.

Glad you liked the gauge.

I've got the same cup! I use it for coffee sometimes it works really well for cold stuff too

excellent video on installing new seals

Another good SNS, thanks for all the videos Adam, safe travels back from OH...

Thanks Adam, great vid as always.

Opening that smoker..my fav part of the video

Thanks Rod.

Awwwww Stella in the chair. She's good peeps. :)

Adam great video... Greetings from Kragujevac, Serbia... or to tell the other side of the sea!!!

cool vid on the re-pack. can you show us the process on one of those BIG cylinders you make?

at 25:15, the real star of the show!

Stella be like "you done yet? I want some barbeque"

Great video I get few asking me to fix cylinders here and there but have never dove into it.... never seen a bad... really bad one rebuilt... maybe if you come across one that needs lots of work you might feel a want to film it....

You left the note for Keith out of his box.

Great video, Adam.

Nice video, thanks. What solvent do you use? Where do you buy the seals and O rings? Is there much difference between rebuilding an oil vs pneumatic cylinder?

The jd one I rebuilt you had to keep the gland and piston close together when you put it in the cylinder cause you had to push it in cylinder a ways to put on snap ring.So far it works.

Hey, I just watched this and saw the part where I walked out to the shop asking you for the drill, lol. I could faintly here my voice. I think you should start doing a BBQ/cooking segment. Our family has lots of great recipes 😀

safe travels and nice video

@Abom79 Have you ever heard of Buzzy slick honey? I use it for suspension rebuilds on bikes and motorbikes. Another enjoyable video.

Amazes me that people would rather keep adding fluid instead of just fixing the leak. It gets expensive after awhile, at least it has for me on farm equipment.

Adam I've been enjoying your videos for a few weeks now. just wondering if you worry about getting the nut on the end of the rod tight enough. I've heard it's important to get them tight enough so they don't come loose.

Are there any hydraulic cylinders designed specifically for horizontal use? Not like the small ones in the video but large multi-stage cylinders. Like how does a large cylinder that operates on it side not wear away the seals and wipers from all that weight of the cylinder pushing down on them?

Hey man, love what you do and thanks a ton for putting in time and energy for our entertainment and education. I'm thinking about getting into machining and lathe work myself, I'm just slightly worried man. What if in 20 years CNC rigs are dirt cheap and any john do that has some computer skills can slap one down in a shed and turn out quality pieces? Can you talk a bit maybe on how you think a human machinist can compete with the robots?

Very interesting an informative

asalaam... good video.. Tell Stella I says: "Whats up!!" ;) She is cute.. I miss having my 2 Boxer dogs I use to have.. :( but I miss my kids more.. :( Have a good and blessed day! Much loves everyone! salaam peace

Adam, I enjoyed your hydraulic rebuild. Do you have a source where an individual can purchase parts to rebuild cylinders & jacks? I can only find those that deal wholesale. I certainly don't need 50 pieces of one size :-)

No shield against the threads from tearing up the new seals?

Interesting video enjoyed it, funny you said that you not have a television, since I found this here on RU-vid I almost never watch television😊

very good video man!!!

excellent video Adam

Adam do you ever use mesquite wood when your smoking, it's my favorite and pretty much the chosen one in Texas. No matter grill on there my friend

BBQ channel! Woo!

Adam is in HD again!

What is the solvent you are using?

What were you using to clean those pistons?

how dose one get a sticker? i want to put one on my tool box at work. i work in a production machine shop

Whoever did the thumbs down gets NO CHICKEN- or beer-

if you come through Dayton Ohio let me know would like to meet you

should have honored the master chief in this episode #spartan117

Wheres the Torque Stickers?

How do I send a dial indicator to Mark at M R Tool repair? I've got a Federal that needs service. Thanx.

Your mail lady probably watches your channel.

Where can I be the logo for the photo comp?

Are you kidding me? You don't know how the mail lady knew the dies belong to you? Who else gets random flat rate boxes filled with weird looking metal pieces delivered ALL THE TIME in your town.?/.........Who else would the dies belong to?

muito bom mas na priqueça onde voce colocar a aste voce pega penel de moto cortar e colar ela na contoneira para nao machucar a aste blz
