Can We SAVE This $20K Cylinder Rod!? | Gouging SEIZED Nut

The nut has seized and locked onto this $20K hydraulic cylinder rod! We’re going to use carbon air arc gouging to try and remove the nut and save the cylinder rod. This is a bucket cylinder rod off a Hitachi EX1200 mining excavator. In this video we show the step by step process how to gouge off the seized nut using carbon air arc gouging. Stay tuned for the next video where we need to machine up a new nut and we will be machining new threads onto the cylinder rod.

@SeanBZA 11 ай бұрын

Well the choice is order a new rod, or a 50 50 chance it can be fixed for half the price of the new nut. At least the air arc was a lot faster than the alternative of place complete rod in lathe, then machine the nut off it.

@SeanBZA 11 ай бұрын

@@TommiHonkonen Even if he did cut deep, Kurtis could still weld it up enough to cut that thread back again, probably even fixing the original damage as well, then cutting to match the original nut if they had one. But now he just has ordered a big chunk of good quality steel, and is going to take 70% off it, in order to release the inner nut hidden in the block. Hopefully one of the new tools is a set of diamond hole saws, to cut out the inner section of 120mm steel, so that he can either save cutting tools, or reuse it on another job as bulk steel rod. After all, if you do not make it into chips, you save a lot of time.

I've worked on high value parts for many years. No mater how skilled, there is always the possibility of something going wrong. It's nerve racking.

This is the type of thinking and acting that has driven repair costs through the roof. Car don't start due to a corroded battery terminal? Replace the battery and starter for$700 and clean that terminal while you are at it. Use a cheep Chinese starter to replace the OEM that there was nothing wrong with, so you get it back soon to do it again. The customer doesn't always have the money, and several $20,000 unnecessary jobs like this can put them out of business with all the employees looking for another job. A company only exists to make money, and when it doesn't, they are gone and all the workers lose their jobs.

Long time subscriber here... I want to take a minute here to just say thank you. It's after work time for me, so bourbon is also involved. I work at a truck manufacturer here in the States, and I found out a few months ago that we have machining/tool and die jobs here. Very hard to get into, but I want you to know that you guy/gal/dog/birds have really inspired me to study up, take all the preliminary tests and training I can (just took one this morning in fact), and hopefully one day enter into an apprenticeship program here. I'll be honest.. it may never happen, but you've kind of given me a goal to work toward, which after working all kinds of jobs in many different fields over the last 20+ years is actually refreshing. There's a reason this channel has exploded in the last year... and it's all you and Karen (and Homey, and George, and others)... and it's more than just putting out videos... it's about putting out knowledge, experience and information in a great manner. I hope I'm not the only one that's been inspired... but even if I am, know that I will also do my best to inspire someone else.... who knows, maybe in 16 years when the rest of my hair falls out, and before I get to retire, I can take on my own apprentice. Again, thank you all

Years ago I worked as a cinema projectionist, by the time I got into that industry most of the cinemas had upgraded to pressurised xenon lamps that were good for over 2000 hours (longer if you didn't run them too hard) but a couple of places I worked at still had some old-school carbon arc lamphouses used for screening film-ads and trailers before the film. The carbons looked exactly the same as the round ones you're using for the arc gouging, I imagine it's the same process, except the burning carbon arc was used for a light source rather than a cutting tool. Despite quartz envelope lamp technology vastly improving stability, longevity, and safety, the carbon arc provided the brightest and most natural looking light spectrum when it was burning just right, they were the closest thing we had to the light spectrum of the sun. The downsides to carbon arcs were they were messy, dangerous, could be tricky to align properly, the sliders that allowed them to burn down smoothly required continual cleaning and maintenance, they generated a lot of waste, and of course they only burned for 30 mins tops. Lots of trouble, but they looked fantastic on the screen. It's pretty cool to see those carbon rods still in use, albeit for a different purpose.

Really impressive work. Always a pleasure to watch you take on a challenging job and looking forward to part two. Once again, Homeless demonstrates his problem-solving skills--he removed that suction cup on the floor in two seconds. It's always a great time watching and what a great present for my 70th birthday. Many thanks from the "land of bananas" and see you next week. Cheers.

19:33 Idk why but slipping that huge cylinder gland off the rod without even brushing against the threads was just awesome.

Awesome job, I didn't think the air gouge could be so surgical, a lot better than oxy in that situation. Interesting work and a great job on the video Karen. Cheers Billo

As a retired conventional Machinist, this video totally demonstrates why the "push button cowboys" still need our skill level. Your skill and job planning are essential to this repair. Thumbs up!

I'm a little surprised the arc gouger was the tool of choice for this project. Really surprised it didn't get into the threads any worse than it did. I've always used the torch on piston nuts that were seized. And yeah, the ones where the nuts fit up inside the piston suck to cut but it can be done without any significant damage to either the piston or the rod.

I am properly impressed by the kind of precision you managed to pull of with that gouger, I was expecting there to deep pitting in the threaded area where you cut through the nut.

Great job and really looking forward to part 2! Most people don't realize how big of an issue a galled nut on damaged threads can be..... Arc gouging for the win!

Ive been watching you for about 3 year's. One thing ive always noted is your professional approach to everything you do and a very good example is in those 3 years I have never seen you leave the chuck key in a lathe for a secound, not even to turn round a piece of work. Its only a small thing but to me it shows your approach to get things done....but properly. Well done the team.

Enjoyed your video that I just happened to stumble upon. I'm retired now but remember many industrial repair projects similar to this. Keep up the unique skill set that sets you apart from being just a parts changer.

It's incredible just how quickly you get through that nut with the Air Arc. I literally laughed at loud when Homeless figured out the handle on the toy straight away 🤣 Thanks for the video Kurtis, Karen and Homie!

I can only imagine the reassurance heavy equipment operators have knowing you are capable & available to handle that kind exacting work on such a large scale. Your knowledge & skill is unsurpassed.
