Bent the same ram on my 485 backhoe. Had a hydraulic shop rebuild the cylinder, and they used a stronger rod material for the ram. Cost to repair was less than 1/3 the cost of buying an OEM replacement.

@timraber6575 2 года назад

I find the repair videos just as informative as the working ones. Most of us older guys have the gene that if we break it, we can and must fix it. I know I’m like that. I had to replace the engine on my zero turn early in the season. I tried to repair it, but quickly went past my knowledge. Sometimes I just have to accept that fact. During operations, you have already questioned the move that bent the cylinder. I question what I did to make my engine fail. Like you said…… If you use the equipment, something will break. My equipment is not barn queens.

@kdegraa 2 года назад

Tutorials like this are amazing. My mechanical knowledge is minimal so when I’ve had issues here and there I’ve looked up how to’s on the web to do what is needed to be done. My tractor doesn’t have a backhoe and I never plan to get one. However it’s interesting to watch working in a piece of heavy equipment.

@TractorTimewithTim 2 года назад

In July of this year I bent the cylinder on my dipper on the 270B backhoe, doing stump and root removal. Just like you did. Didn't know it had bent until after I got it untangled from the roots. Bent worse then yours. I have a pic of it. I also had a leveler cylinder leaking. Ordered the parts to repair vs replace. Around $600. Tried for two days to get the dipper cylinder apart. I'm in my seventies. Couldn't do it. Called the shop and dropped them off with the ordered parts. They took just over a month to fix them. When I picked them up they told me the ordered parts were wrong except for the rod and take them back to the shop where I paid for them. Also they had to replace the piston for the dipper cylinder, that was why it took so long. It cost just under $600 for the shop repair for the two cylinders. Got a $300 refund for the returned parts. I checked into just replacing the dipper cylinder before the repair. It was just shy of $1200 plus tax and shipping. So I got two done for around $900. Still ahead of the game!!

@dennisschluttenhofer4321 2 года назад

Tim, I also bent mine on my newer 1025R (same version same as yours). My dealer in Monticello IN replaced it under warranty so I was only out the downtime and travel. But I am of similar mind; bend it once and it will bend again, sooner or later. So I've been investigating replacements; you video was timely! BTW, the original 260B bucket curl cylinder does not retract all the way before all the 'slack' is consumed. Because of this, the extra 270B length is small enough it becomes insignificant. Also, it does not extend all the way before the double pin bracket stops it, so either cylinder will put the bracket curve to the stop metal. Happy tractoring and God bless, Dennis

Great video on your repair 👍 . I'm not sure if you'll knows this but black zip ties have the best rating for sunlight exposure. One step up for that simply safe security camera on a flagpole would be a stainless steel band clamp. God bless you both! I hope you have a wonderful day 🙏

@houndsmanone4563 2 года назад

Sorry you had to spend bucks on a repair, Tim but you got some great useage from the original cylinder prior to ram malfunction. Enjoyed all your advice and yeah, even the mild whining was fun. Wishing you the best using your new cylinder an thanks for the educational information. I had not changed a cylinder and hope I don't have to either but I hope to use the same logic as you when doing so. It's always a pleasure to watch your videos. I always learn something new. Have a blessed weekend, my friends. 👍🏽🙂

@danielclapp636 2 года назад

Speaking of snapping pliers. I was in the same situation as you, crappy pliers so I shopped around and found some inexpensive “GLARKS” brand pliers. They came in a kit that had internal and external pliers plus different angles of tips. Completely happy with them and have had no issues with them. Take care and don’t break to much more stuff.

@109jacosta 2 года назад

Tim, when we set up a backhoe or excavator with a hydraulic thumb, We always turn down the pressure relief on the thumb so the bucket can overcome and push the thumb open. That helps prevent damage to the thumb and bucket cylinder.

Something that is drilled into my head at work is to wear your safety glasses. could save you an eye when a hydraulic line has pressure or when a snap ring goes sailing. And knipex is also a fav tool brand in the aviation industry.

Tim, I love that analogy to the disabled list from football teams. I live in serious snow country, with a fleet of three snow removal machines. All are on the disabled reserve list and snow is only a few weeks away! My very liberal finance committee says just buy a new one. Unfortunately, new ones are currently "unobtanium", borrowing a word from behind the Iron Curtain So I am pounding and grinding metal to get something working soon.

@mikejohnson7181 2 года назад

Tim, had the exact same thing happen with my bh70 backhoe. Contacted JD for a price, about had a heart attack, so I took it to the local repair shop and it seems to be working fine. Maybe it's time for JD to issue a recall for an undersized cylinder.

I found this interesting with using the 270B cylinder over the 260B replacement and seeing the results. I think the ripper should work just as well when you put it on for the next time.

@geoffhubbard7815 Месяц назад

It took me a minute to make sense of your statement about less retracting power; then I realized that you've lost square inches by keeping the outer cylinder the same while increasing the ram size, thus losing the difference in what's left to push... (I prefer PI equations that have apples and cinnamon. :-) ) thx for the work!

@bluefj-wc3vz 2 года назад

Meh, stuff happens Tim. I've seen cylinders bent on big excavators, especially in demolition. One thing you have to refrain from for a bucket cylinder is latching onto something like a stump, and then driving the machine to try and pull it out. That puts a boatload of stress on open cylinder. Keep up the great vids.

@TractorTimewithTim 2 года назад

Definitely didn’t do that this time.

@gregnewlin1074 2 года назад

If you are worried about the extra length of the longer cylinder, you could always remove the gland nut from the cylinder and install a slug (spacer) to limit the extent stroke for your application. See that done a lot in tilt cylinders on forklifts.

@TractorTimewithTim 2 года назад

Interesting idea.

@kylerayk 2 года назад

Great video Tim! I have a couple of suggestions though. Please put a cap over the valve on the gas bottle standing by the wall. I had one tip over at work and praise God it was capped because it hit the edge of the welding bench and would have surely broke the valve off and probably killed someone as it would have launched into an office area. Secondly, please wear safety glasses! I've had snap rings, fasteners, drills, taps and every manner of flying object hit my safety glasses when doing repair work over my 30 year career. I don't want to see you with a pirate patch over your eye! Take care!

@kingsamking3001 2 года назад

Hi, Big fan of your channel and a 15 year heavy equipment mechanic. Because you went with the larger diameter ram this might not be an issue. Possibly a part of why the old one bent was your bucket cylinder check valve might be set too high. If the check valve was set lower when the pressure was put against it the cylinder would retract instead of bending the ram. With the larger ram you might be fine but it might be a good idea to check the pressures.

@powrguy1696 2 года назад

Good that you bought the parts before the current John Deere strike started. On seeing the curl function test, where the bucket slightly bottoms out against the jaws of the thumb, couldn't you just take a grinder to SLIGHTLY remove some material, where the jaw is contacted by the bucket edge, to assure no binding can occur?

@t.s.tractorworkstrickland5828 2 года назад

I've been around a lot of equipment for many years. If you bent it without realizing how... that seems kinda weak . Nice video Tim keep up the good work.

@petercampbell4220 11 месяцев назад

Gather is stronger than bucket curl. So with bucket hooked under root or frozen dirt, using gather can bend curl cylinder. BTDT. Bill was big.

@TheCritterWindow 2 года назад

I have a JD 420 loader that had bent then broke cylinders due to being to long from the factory. On a full roll they would bow up a bit. The rod is 25 mm not 1". Them may be the same. JD wanted 600 each. I ordered the material and had the ends machined for inside the ram. I made 4 and have 2 extra. If they will work for you they are yours. Just cut and weld the end on.

@fireguy0020 2 года назад

Hello Tim, I am not trying to tell you what to do... but I noticed a Major Safety Issue, behind you in your shop, it appears that the Gas Cylinder is not secured, if it was to fall over and break the valve off it will go through the wall, instant Cat door, what most people here do is secure them with a piece of chain hooked to the wall, If it is secured, I apologize, i'd just hate to see anything happen, have a Great Day, and keep up the Great Videos

@mathdj01 2 года назад

Having worked in the fluid power industry (pneumatic and hydraulic cylinder designer) I want to share one item. Force = Pressure * Area of piston diameter. Keep in mind outside cylinder diameter is not a value to use because the cylinder wall thickness is unknown. Correct calculation of extend/retract force needs to know the piston diameter. Going to bigger ram (piston rod) only tells you one thing, you got a bigger rod. When looking at outsider cylinder diameter, extend force may or may not be the same when compared to a similar cylinder assembly. And retract force may or may not be the same when compared to a similar cylinder assembly. The comment of retract speed being slower is true based off the lager ram (piston rod) diameter being larger. This works because there maybe less piston diameter area due to larger ram (piston rod). All other comments of force is subject to determination of piston diameter surface area. Designing around cylinder wall thickness is one of many different ways to reduce cost and allow for a overall lower cost and quality, which is may not be know to the consumer.

@reno4819 2 года назад

Like you I do not like to replace a part with the exact same thing. If it broke before, it will brake again. So I will try hard to rebuild it better than before unless what happened was an extraordinary circumstance that are not likely to reoccur.

@TheOriginalFreak 2 года назад

Have you tried gloves with the tips cut off from the factory or cut the tips off of a set of mechanics/fabric shop gloves? I admit they are not the best for certain jobs, but I do find myself wearing them in more situations than full finger gloves, as even just having the tip and the next finger section toward the hand exposed but the rest of my hand and the base of my fingers covered, has saved me a good number of cuts, gouges, and even pinches while still allowing for a great deal of dexterity to manipulate parts and tools as well as being able to retain that very important touch against skin you want or even need for certain jobs (e.g. feeling for a hole to put that pin into blind as it is behind a part that will take 3 hours to remove and another 3 hours to put back in just for a 20 second pin replacement, feeling for a dropped part, etc.)

@BG-vq9fd 2 года назад

Clamping/curl force may be the same. It depends on the piston diameter. Rod diameter effects cylinder closing force if you assume they have the same piston diameter.

@komitadjie 2 года назад

I tend to prefer seeing if I can get a rebuild from the local hydraulic shop. Swapping out a ram is likely something that could be done *fairly* easily. Although in this case, you kinda upgraded at the same time, the larger-diameter ram is going to be a lot less likely to stage a repeat performance than the older one, so more of a replacement-upgrade than a straight repair.

@martineastburn3679 2 года назад

The other option is to replace the ram. e.g. rebuild the existing. I think the stronger bar is best. On a root and driving away from it seems to put the angle on it.

@ZILAwelds 2 года назад

the larger rod will also make the bucket dump faster (as there is less volume to fill with fluid since more steel (larger rod) takes up more volume)

@ZILAwelds 2 года назад

I guess I commented too early as I am watching ... at 20 min you said that too .... LOL

@akbychoice 2 года назад

Supply and demand, possibly the 260 gets replaced more often than the 270 due to the size of the ram.

@charlesbessenbach6252 2 года назад

It's a little late for this now, but if anything like this ever happens again, it would be a nice opportunity to test "field fixes" to see if you can somehow make the old one function long enough to finish a job. Also, anyone who runs equipment who has never broken anything is either a liar, or hasn't been doing it long enough.

@jdfleetguy28 2 года назад

Great video Tim. Very true, we all break stuff. I have a 260B on my 2025R . I know now what to replace it with if I bend mine. Curious does warranty not cover stuff like that? I was thinking your machine was only a year or so old?

@TractorTimewithTim 2 года назад

I don’t think warranty would cover. Also, my backhoe is a 2018.

@TimBinns68 2 года назад

You probably bent the old one extending the bucket. The interesting thing about going up to the bigger ram is it's stronger but also has less extending force so a double protection against future bending.

So by your measurements it is a 13 3/8 stroke. the 14 inch stroke surplus center cylinder could possibly be shortened some by cutting the rod and reattaching the mounting tube. You should be able to extend the cylinder to weld so no disassembly needed. The rod should be wrapped to protect it from weld splatter. I have actually done both shortening of the rod and shortening of the tube. Both are actually pretty easy. I have done both without repacking the seals.

Why go to all that trouble, pull the cylinder head, unscrew the piston and have a 1/8 spacer turned to fit the rod to stop the piston going all the way out

@@russellsmith3825 It would be to make the overall length closer to what it was supposed to be retracted not to shorten the stroke which is what you are talking about. By the way 5/8 spacer. If I recall the retracted length was 1 3/8 inches longer Having repacked a cylinder I would rather cut the eye and shorten the rod than possibly damage the seals. The ones where I cut down both the rod and the tube were ordered the wrong size. the restocking cost was cost prohibitive. so about 3 to 4 hours labor and they now fit. Most of that time was measuring cutting and fitting the first cylinder.

@@szki272 I must have misheard that the difference in pal fully extended was 1/8. I'll have to rewatch later. But one was something and 7/8 and the other was the next even inch longer
