Saved From Scrap! Repair BROKEN Double-Acting Telescopic Cylinder!

2024-05-03に共有
We’re going to tackle this complex part and show you the step-by-step repair of a broken double acting telescopic cylinder for a Cat 657 Scraper Ejector cylinder. Join us as we take you through the entire process, from removing the damaged end to machining a brand new inner tube. We'll start by cutting and removing the broken section. Next, we'll head over to the lathe to machine out the weld joint and use some heat to help us separate the rod eye and inner tube from the outer cylinder. The old inner tube won't be salvageable, so we'll machine a brand new one to fit perfectly. But that's not all! We'll also show you how to press the new tube into shape and align everything before welding it securely to the rod eye. Once the new inner tube is in place, we'll prepare the outer tube for welding and carefully reassemble the entire part. Finally, we'll machine down the welds for a clean finish, getting this component ready for re-chroming. Double-acting hydraulic cylinders do have a complexity that can lead to a few issues, even a minor leak can compromise the precision of how it works, so join us we bring this broken one back to life!

In this video we are using:
- Hafco TM-26120G Centre Lathe
- WIA 500i Weldmatic Welder

  • Lovely shot of Kurtis’ nails at 2:50. I don’t know how he keeps them looking so nice.
  • After years here with you guys, I tend to forget just how high the quality level is, until I watch someone else's shop videos and it really makes me appreciate how much time and effort goes into video production, when it isn't even your primary job.
  • The maintenance chiefs of every mining and construction company within a hundred miles must have CEE's number on speed dial. So many skills; machining, mechanic, welder, combined in one honest, hard-working individual is a rare gem indeed. Thanks again, Kurtis.
  • Sir, I am a 72-year-old machine maintenance repairman. who retired years ago. You manage to show me something new every week. Thank you for that. Even though I am not a machinist I see how the parts I sent out for repair were done. Keep up the good work. I can't wait for you to get back on the crane. Larry
  • @12:25 Birds: "Yeah, you've been giving us treats for months but can we really trust you?"
  • @rjung_ch
    "You're a wizard Harry", hilarious you two!
  • Kurtis is legit one of the best welders on Youtube and best of all he doesn't waste time bragging he just gets it done, , love from England.
  • 3am in USA. It’s a good thing I can’t sleep, when I get to see a CEE premiere.
  • I'm always impressed by how Kurtis gets the lifting slings pretty well at the centre of gravity every time he lifts something, even those long cylinders with big bits on the end.
  • @Paul_Au
    I've basically said this before but it bears repeating, so I'll say it again. The machining and craftsmanship is great to see, and the laughs and not being afraid to take the piss out of yourselves... (well mainly Kurtis but he deserves it😉) are really enjoyable. But the best part of your videos is something that really can't be filmed. It's kind of reading behind the lines to see how you two are just great mates.
  • Kurtis is definitely a wizard, a wizard of heavy equipment repair!! He fixes things like it’s magic.
  • The inner tube looks like it belongs on playground equipment. 😄😄
  • @Agnemons
    Kurtis.@ 2:50 I am mightily impressed that you can maintain manicured hands doing the type of work you do.
  • @gavinb9627
    So good to see you both laugh with each other. Keep it up and the great videos too.
  • @LKaz74
    I simply don't understand how you weld so consistently. I have welded for years and can't do what you do! AMAZING!
  • Great job there. When you gave the price of a new rod assembly, I nearly spat out my beer ! Dang ! Didn't realize that Kurtis had such lovely nails !
  • At 80 years old, I don't think you have any worrys from me taking your crown Kurtis. But I always love to see the shiny metal that is hiding under that rust. Thanks for sharing this video very informative and entertaining. Best regards from the UK Ken
  • I swear this guy is like a gantry hoist surgeon. Maybe there's a bunch of dented up panels out of frame but the way he manipulates a heavy assembly simultaneously up, down, over, and through lathes and across the shop makes me clench up thinking of how many broken fingers I'd have by now!
