We’re going to attempt a repair that we have never done before! In this video we need to repair a cracked double acting telescopic hydraulic cylinder that has a crack right around one end of the rod. This rod is from the ejector cylinder off a Caterpillar 657 Twin Drive Scraper. We show the step by step process to do the repair. First we start with the disassembly of the rod by machining in the lathe and we remove the head and inner tube from the rod. We then perform a dye penetrant crack test to check if the inner tube is cracked. We then complete the reassembly of the rod and weld the parts back together before TIG welding the end of the inner tube onto the cylinder rod. It’s another successful repair and we’ve saved our customer a lot of money with this one!
In this video we are using:
- TM-26120G Centre Lathe
- WIA 500i Weldmatic welder
- UniMig 200 AC/DC Tig welder

Your videos are always enthralling. Every time I get to the end of a video, I'm surprised it's already over. Obviously, Kurtis is a mechanical genius and his work ethic and attention to detail are second to none, but Karen does an excellent job filming, and I assume editing the video as well. The shots always seem to cover exactly what I want to see and rarely do I ever find myself wishing for a different angle or feeling like I missed out on something. The clip lengths are perfect as well, showing enough to fully illustrate the current process, but not so much that I get bored and my mind starts to wander. It's easy to appreciate what goes on in front of the camera, but you have to sit back and think about all the things you didn't think about while watching the video to appreciate what happens behind the scenes. Thanks to both of you for your continued excellence! Oh, and happy birthday Homeless! You did a great job demolishing that squeaky toy.

I suffered for many years from the same symptoms you described. Chronic anxiety is a living hell, and anyone who hasn't experienced it has no idea. Medication can mitigate the symptoms but doesn't cure the underlying problem IMHO. Standard psychotherapy didn't help me so I went elsewhere. In my case it turned out that the anxiety was caused by the energetic "body" of an unresolved and long forgotten trauma. I know it sounds a little out there but that energy needs to be released. Once released the anxiety ceased for me and never returned. I don't know if your issues are the same as mine were, but it's something to consider. Hang in there, I know it isn't easy.

It is not, you just have to use your brain and skills to the max. It is surprising how often jobs are not taken because you have to risk failiure. well their " no can do" was my "lets go" it feels really good when it is done and I enjoyed setting the bar higher than most others. What can be done is more an issue of how much money and time they are willing to spend. To many lazy people that will not put in the efford.

Beautiful job once again. After 45 years of Welding I have to use the Pyrex clear Tig cups to get enough light to see what I’m doing.😃. I can still run a reasonable bead but then I used to flip the helmet up and discover that although it looked good it was nowhere near the joint.😡. How the mighty have fallen……….sigh.

I'm like that with a mig, I need to get a new helmet.

@@MegaDirtyberty Yeah I’ve got a couple of good helmets with magnifying lenses but even turned down to the lightest shade I find there’s just not enough light at the lower amperage’s on the Tig. Stick and Mig are not so bad. I’m embarrassed to say that I can’t remember the manufacturer of both helmets and they’re in the workshop and I’m in the house. One is a Miller elite.Filet welds are not too bad because you’re working in a corner,butt welds on 16 or 18 gauge aluminium or stainless, forget it. Can’t see a damn thing. The thing that really helped was installing 300 amp LED lights in the workshop. Turns it into daylight and makes things a lot easier to see. Cheers.

@@MegaDirtyberty There’s nothing wrong with some of the Chinese stuff. You can only use what you can afford and at least you’re having a go👍 I just happened to be in the workshop when I read your comment and my other helmet is a Speedglas. Model 9002NC. Adjustable from shade 8 to shade 12

Every time I watch one of your videos, I always have a massive appreciation to how detail-oriented, thorough, and professional you are about your job. Makes me kind of wish I got into it or a similar profession over being in IT.

Happy Birthday Homey, and what an interesting repair to watch through - "no-one normally does this, but there's no stock, a 3 month lead time, and it's tens of thousands of dollars; we'll try it". Very nice looking results, and fascinating to watch you work through the process of investigation & repair.

What extraordinary welding skills. My early tutor used to say my welding was like the Snowdonia landscape (Snowdonia is a mountain range in Wales) and it's still quite rocky. Oh well! Great filming, Karen - very artistic, atmospheric shooting. Hope Homey doesn't swallow any of that rubber or filling.

Great work as always! Not only were you able to fix it properly and have saved them a heap of money on a new part, you have saved them a huge amount of downtime on a very expensive machine, and as we all know those machines are like sharks, if they don’t keep moving they will die (the loan will kill a lot of profit!). Bloody well done! I knew you would make Karen jump when that tube dropped off the spigot. Man that swear jar might need to be larger LOL. Love the content! Cheers from Tokyo! Stu. PS Happy birthday to Homeless for ten he is still a puppy at heart.

Did the safety officer even taste that birthday cake? Jesus! What I love about the channel, besides the sweet machinery and weld equipment, is that you are never afraid to step into something new and do work that is challenging or difficult. You move forward cautiosly to be sure its right for your customer and your reputation, but you dont turn down something because it's not easy. And you swear a lot. Love that too.

I'm always impressed in how you can machine out the welds and then get things aligned to weld back together. In the end this looked like another case of having to reverse engineer how the part was manufactured, then undo and re-do it. Always interesting to watch. all. Thanks to you. And HB to Homey, I find it hard to believe he even tasted that 'cake' as he inhaled it!

I love Homie! He’s such a fun, happy dog. Pits can destroy any toy in short order. Our lab/pit mix gets about three throws out of a tennis ball before it’s brought back in shreds. Your machining and welding work is top notch! Always fun to watch a skilled craftsman.
