Cracked Telescopic Cylinder Weld Repair | Machining & Welding
Vložit

- 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

Rag man 🤣😂
@Murphy Law was giving KKK vibes 😅😬
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Just looking at the complexity of the work I am amazed you can break even on a Job like that!
Mate, who does your hard chroming? It's getting darn hard to find anyone these days.
Oh, and who makes that cap/plug kit?
“I hardly do TIG anymore…”. Proceeds to do perfect TIG welds. This really was a great project. No one wanted to touch it, I’ve got nothing to lose, but your hunch was right! That new customer will for sure be coming back.
I was thinking the same thing! That TIG is beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He got a little hot on the tig you can see he burned through on the inside.
I was an apprentice welder and had a chuckle and said he didn’t do much Tig and then as you said bangs out a perfect Tig weld🤣
Perfect ? No. Adequate? Yes, more then THAT even.
@@mauricematla8379Second that.
now this is an epic episode, it has a "Nobody would even attempt this repair so I told them to hold my beer" moment and wife jump scare where Kurtis barely even flintches
My thoughts exactly!
Plus, now that he's done it, and pretty much the entire planet can see it, anyone who has a similar failure will be knocking down his door... lol
Also, don’t forget Karen making fun of his “I’m going to attack this crack” in the bloopers reel at the end. I was ROFLMAOing myself non-stop, hilarious!🤣🤣🤣
He more than barely flinches it's easy to see but whatever, were all only human and frights can make us jump.
What I find amusing and sad is the way you and others seem to think he is some kind of superhero with all the over the top praises.
Too much as far as I'm concerned.
You all probably think he is just marvelous in every facet of his life and can do no wrong anywhere ever.
@@tfr128 and the channel/site showing your work is where? I would love to compare.
@@56Nine I ain't got shit!!
I believe that you’re “easier for the next guy “ ethic is one reason for your success. Refreshing in this day and age.
How does it feel to be the leader of a new generation of machine mechanics? Your example of a strong work ethic and onscreen presentation politeness makes me proud. Thank you.
“Doesn’t do a lot of tig welding these days”, precedes to lay down a damn near perfect tig weld
yes agree, but... from a tig welder myself, too slow not enough amps, has alot of peno on the inside. could tell as soon as he started welding
Could have used a argon shielding on the root side of the weld, sop in tube welding, but...
Can but have to run even more amps
From my experience the guys that are humble and downplay their ability are the best welders. It's the guys that say they're hot shit you gotta watch out for because most of the time they can't walk the walk.
I’ll be honest here guys I can’t weld to save myself, don’t have any form of welding equipment and have never been taught anything about it, I’m sure you’re right things could have been better but to my layman’s eyes it looked great.
For "not tig'ing much anymore" still got a damn steady hand.
Yeah, slightly annoying :-) "I don't use TIG much anymore..." Proceeds to create a weld most welders would stick on Instagram.
My thinking exactly!
theres no amount of money in the world that you could pay to learn the shit this guy knows. truly an expert craftsman, knows what hes doin/talking about and does shit right. carry on my friend. amazing work.
nah there is an amount. just no one who has that kind of money wants to learn this.
You HAVE TO keep bloopers at the end! everybody loves them.
I don't know why CZcams offered me your videos, but I'm glad they did. Addicted to watching your amazing workmanship. And Homey BN big smile!
Thanks for watching!
Kurtis, Karen's reaction when the cylinder separated was effing hilarious. Karen, so glad you left that moment in. Absolutely love the channel. It's so satisfying to watch someone who knows what the hell they are doing. Double thumbs up, mate!
krawist ! 😁
@@markschweter6371 11:08 Kurtis was like- Yep, good on ya. And Karen...
i bet she cut some and left a bit
Bet she peed herself a little when that internal cylinder dropped. hahaha
Always good to earn the reputation as the man who can fix things well that others won't even attempt to fix.
Kurtis' knowledge of the Cat models and their hydraulic cylinders' operation is extraordinary. Much respect to your welding and machining, and the camera work is great as usual, Karen. Homie's party cake didn't last long. He tore through that little pig in no time. Dogs usually do that! I enjoyed your presentation.
As I watch this, I'm thinking what a luxury it must be for the mine maintenance guys to have a world-class repair/fabrication shop just down the road. It must save them a lot of stress. Happy Birthday Homey!
It also must have saved them a lot of money and time waiting for a replacement part…
@@joso5554 The Maintenance Shop doesn't tend to care about the costs...
They pay whatever it takes to get the equipment back in service as soon as possible...
The FINANCE Department on the other hand, cares a great deal about how much Kurtis can save them by repairing the parts instead of having to buy new ones from the Dealership...
@@HappilyHomicidalHooligan Semantics.
This has been one of your most watchable episodes, keep them coming, a masterclass in doing a job right.
..The man continues to amaze me.... what a true "caring" CRAFTSMAN.. !!
Step aside little boys. Allow a MAN to come up. Your intuition and shoot from the hip skill eludes me. Of course you were the only one who would try. Wifey squeal is just as priceless. What a TEAM.
That birthday cake lasted fewer seconds than the years it commemorated
I'm wondering if Homey even tasted it!
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.
Hey mate wow thanks for the great comment we both appreciate it and always glad to know the video content is being enjoyed. It definitely takes a lot of effort to make the videos so we do appreciate the support!
Gotta love the outtakes at the end.
My father was an engineer at caterpillar tractors in Mossville Illinois USA and I worked at the plant for a while. Pretty cool to see the big parts taken apart and put back together with such skill Awsome
I mean does it really matter if the part happens to be larger ? Engineering wise a smaller part may be way more interresting.
@@mauricematla8379 Unless you are impressed with big things.
@@eriklarson9137 Basicly never grew up then.
I’m 9 months late to the party…that was a great catch on your part, Kurtis. If that client wasn’t a client for life then, he is now! 👊👊👍👍
That’s one happy customer you have for life - sharing risk with the customer and going the extra mile is the basis or trust and professional workmanship. Great work.
Very well said.
I think that it was 9,000$$ the time, 3 months, was more expensive than the $$$
Who else wants to know what the customer said after you all saved him 17k/3 months .... Whatever he paid you, your knowledge alone was worth more... and the skill is just icing on the cake. Well done, mate! (And yes, I jumped with Karen and said the exact same thing!)
I just wanted to mention how I appreciate you saving the foul language for the end. I think it's great to be able to let my children see these processes without worrying about them picking up some undesirable vocabulary. 👍
I loved this. First, Kurtis is willing to tackle jobs that nobody will touch. He sets expectations with his customer, and forms deep trust. He said it out loud this time, but we have witnessed it many times: make it a little easier for the next guy”. It is no surprise that he gets big and weird jobs with the trust and professionalism that he demonstrates day upon day. This channel is his CV.
Greetings and happy Thanksgiving from Ohio USA to Kurtis, Karen, Homeless, George and the rest.
Constant Velocity?
Line of the episode: “Oh Jesus!” - the usually stoic Karen when Carl separates the cylinder.
No surprise the Safety Officer did not like the pointy hat - a clear eye hazard. Always on the job, even on his birthday.
Yet another amazing, educational, and entertaining episode. Keep up the great work!
It's Kurtis BTW which you know 😂
I JUMPED!
@@djmips Carl!
Well she actually said, (or at least what I heard) was "Oh Jesus Christ!" I think that surprised me more than the cylinder dropping. She usually seems so reserved.
@@1959Aeroflyte I guess it is because the sound it made was very loud, much more than we can hear.
Happy birthday Homey! I hope he has a great day. He always looks so excited to be with you guys. Thanks for always bringing us the best content, Kurtis. Your videos are always enjoyable because you walk us through all your methods and why you do it that way-much love from South Texas. Stay safe, mate!
Edit: Someone needs to tell Safety Officer Homey to take it easy on those poor piggies. 😬🤣🤣
Hey mate! Homey had the best day enjoying all his favourite things 🐾🎉 glad you enjoy the videos thanks for your support
or bring him more piggies :D
@@tabajaralabs That works too! I'll be sending him some toys or treats soon, I hope he enjoys them like our doggo.😬🤣
Beautiful job of welding up that cylinder, especially the final tig job at the end on that thing tube, with out distortion, very nice!!
Hard to believe Homey is 10 already! ... seems like just yesterday we met him!
How to make sure? With know-how. Is Know-how 100%? No, but it's as close is one's going to get... and this guy has it. Bravo Kurtis, keeping Cutting Edge right up to and AT the cutting edge of engineering. Too thick on the praise? Na, credit where credit is due and in this case Know-how went the extra mile to come as close as one can get to ensure that part will work and the repair will be money well spent by the customer AND save having to pay for the repair and then still have to buy a new part because the repair failed. Not bloody likely with this kid on the block. I so enjoy watching this couple do their thing. Great camera as usual.
Another great job. You are saving customers thousands of dollars and we get great videos. Happy Birthday Homeless.
It's bloody amazing how a dog can spread the stuffing out of a pulled apart toy, thin enough to cover a huge area. It seems to bring a smile to their dial when they have covered the yard with "snow" as I used to call it. Nice job Kurtis. Some bean counter owes you a carton, or 2!
I feel like whatever you charge your customers it isn't enough, you're a wizard
could you talk to our customers about that? 😂😂😂
That dog looks very healthy for 10. Love the party hat on him. Surprised it stayed on. Love it.
They are so lucky to have you to turn Kurtis . Your camera girl gets some really great shots of your work , cheers Karen .
Aww happy 10th safety officer Homey!
I live vicariously through several of these channels as I can no longer do this type of work due to several spinal fusions! Good work mate!
damn that sucks mate sorry to hear that but glad you can still enjoy our videos
My uncle had a spinal fusion years ago, he has been permanently bent over because of it.
@@MegaDirtyberty I have had five and have left me with permanent nerve damage in my left leg!
@@clintonhanson Damn dude, that's rough. My father was told to get one due to his back, he refused and is still mobile despite chalky disks.
@@MegaDirtyberty I’m still mobile just suffer in pain all the time because now as we all know they won’t prescribe anything for the pain! Everything else they can do has either been done or I am allergic to which is quite bad!
I need to thank you guys! I stare at parts all day long, everyday and then come home and watch your videos'. However I struggle with anxiety attacks and today has been a rather difficult day. I had no reason for the attack that happened today "10 hours" but 8 of them were pretty rough. I come home and watch your video and I relaxe and the next thing I know, I'm much better. You can't admit weakness in a large machine shop or the Buzzards will start circling to pick you apart. Anyway thanks again for the help, to all three...Happy Birthday Homie!!!
Hey mate glad the videos can help you to feel better, do what you got to do and take care mate
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.
Take care mate but know you're not alone. Best wishes 👍
Mum tries for 90 minutes to put our little girl to bed and storms out. Dad goes in with his special bedtime stories and is out in 15. Thanks again guys.
Those TIG welds are a work of art.
You're a first class MACHINE SURGEON, Kurtis. A lot of medical surgeons can learn a lot from the care and intelligence you put into diagnosing and solving a problem.
Kudos for always being willing to save your customers some money when you can, and kudos for doing the "impossible" repairs!
Homey looks like he's a staffy. They usually live about 12 to 13 years. So at 10 he looks in great shape - happy dog that loves life with Kurtis and Karen.
Man you are so neat, organized, and meticulous. You are like a surgeon when it comes to mechanical repair. I know so many who just wings it or butchers it.
All your work is so clean. It's better than sending it back to the dealership!
Another home run from the CEE crew. Thank you!!!
Congratulations on taking a risk that no one else had the confidence to attempt. You know your customers systems and parts well enough to know if the job is even worth attempting. And you succeeded. Good work. Cheers from Southern California, United States.
I smiled a lot when you said no one would touch this repair and said i'll give it a try. Reminds me of my former work, kind of specilized in the impossible. 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. You have that in you Kurtis and wonderful support from Karen as well, that means a lot when hours fly by every day.
Always fun to watch a master at work , but the dog is still the best part.
Love your videos . I have done your type of work for 45 years. I don't think a lot of people know how technical and how much expertise you add to the job. Great work!
Never heard of anybody testing with petrol before. I do remember repairing a gasoline motorcycle tank and testing it with water. Great until I put petrol into it and watched the petrol weep out. As usual, great job Kurtis. Thanks for sharing.
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.
20:02 to 20:12 The man loves his work a little TOO much! Love the channel
Hollow cylinder with rod connection is my nightmare from a past life 😵💫
Thanks for video!
My crane boom has three internal cylinders with internal tubes and sequencing valves etc. I dread the day something fails in there.
Never underestimate a determined bloke with the tenacity of a staffy , what a recovery from what looked to be a bit of expensive scrap . I reckon you could have saved old mate more the just the part cost down time for a big scraper is rather unpleasant. Well done mate a cracking repair , 😃
It just crossed my mind: I see so many articles that people worry AI will take over their jobs. You definitely don't have to worry about that one. Enjoy the day. Great work!
bro getting ripped for a proper demonstration.
Happy birthday Homey!
Happy Birthday Homey
Those extra welds are spread out the stress?
That bent pipe tricks you at first.
Filming the unexpected. Karan's reaction was a honest reaction.
Aussie engineering at its finest.
"We don't say it can't be done"
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.
@@davidcat1455 Mine is just a cheap chinese helmet, it was all I could afford. The light idea is a good one, I use a torch and shine it at what I am welding, works okish.
@@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
@@davidcat1455 I will look that up, cheers.
Hello, gday mate. You are doing a excellent WORK! I m working since 35 years as hydraulik engineer in Germany. An welded cylinder got in heavy cases like mining Problems with the weld. My experience is in 80% of all cases. Sometimes only after 20 years but damage is damage. Its have to be cheap. Most mistake is missing of preheating. Because the massive component pulls out the heat from the weld. You make it right. Great to see, a man loves his work! Greetings from Germany. Fred.
Photography is getting ridiculously marvelous !
Once the parts were separated the whole thing made a lot more sense. I guess they never intended for that rod to have to be repaired. And Happy Birthday Homey!
I got tapped to climb into a water tanker this week (formerly a hot asphalt carrier judging by the skin inside) to cut off the baffle legs and grind out/clean the surface around them in order to weld some patches in. I'm not really claustrophobic so didn't really bother me, although the climb in and out is pretty tight. As reward for my efforts I'm being exiled to the machine shop (the job I originally joined the shop to get, but ended up doing profiling and sheet instead) . So, yeah, that's my week..
good times 😅👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering no one else wanted to get in there (a couple of them couldn't even fit through the manhole). I also got my first zero tolerance job this week and that was far worse.
@@bigsmellysockhead I hope your workplace has an *Honour Board* for good folks as yourself. Names go up in gold lettering, and at Xmas an extra slab of Foster's goes into your stocking.
@@BrassLock no honour board, but what you do, or, more importantly, don't /won't do does get noticed. I'd just give the beer to someone else, one ice cold beer every two years or so is about my limit, I much prefer the pay jumps.

The film was a word of art. The dog seemed a bit disappointed when he got the chew toy apart and only found a bit of fluff.
Fun to watch
I think I enjoyed this video even more than most. The explanation and the reverse engineering were very interesting. I was startled by the "Oh Jesus" moment too.
As Ive grown to expect , Curtis your attention to detail is so amazing ,it saves your customers months of grief as well as getting their machine's up and running in a very timely manner .
Much respect from Calgary
Congrats to Homey!!! And congrats to Kurtis with the first ever repair of that Double cycle cylinder...top notch work! Says an interested retired optician 🤓🤓🤓
Hats off 👍👍 your willing to take jobs that no one else has the balls to do.
That's awesome that you got him to wear the hat. He's probably 50% of the reason I watch. :D
That has to be a happy customer. And they can see exactly how the part was fixed. No shortcuts or botched repairs. Good job guys. Happy birthday Homey....
Watching u Kurtis was like watching my old man teaching me how too make a 9m shrimp beam trawl. Step by step of clear instructions, and watching how accurate u are with your tools is like watching him turn a length of twine into a patch of mesh with all the mesh being exactly 22mm each and making new the once torn net.
Ok u a lot younger than me but you’ve taught this ol dog a few tricks of the trade, plus I do love the once used put the tool back in its place.
BTW Happy Birthday Homey 👍✌️🇬🇧
CEE to the RESCUE !
Safety Officer approved !
Homey's masterful disassembly of that piggy was a joy to watch. It's no wonder that he has 10 years of experience. It shines through his work.
Absolute legend, is there anything you can’t do. Just brilliant tig welding. Love the channel, u guys rock ! 👍
thanks mate
It really is refreshing to see a guy absolutely dominate a repair that is not an easy one.
"Make it easier on the next guy." Good ethic, mate.
Happy 10th Birthday Homey!! My Shop boss Baily (pitlab mix) has not been doing well since he turned 17 he gets less active everyday. Enjoy your time with that precious safety officer!
Never hurts to try when they say it can't be fixed. We do stuff at our shop they say can't be done all the time just depends on how much you want to do to actually fix it hahahaha
Always love watching Homey!!!!
right on mate 😎👍
If they say it can't be fixed, you have nothing to lose by trying (other than a bit of time). Plus, you can learn lots more from things that don't matter if you wreck them. Not like something irreparable can get more broken!
That was a huge swear, filled the jar really quickly! Love you three.
As usual, more industrial jewelry. Absolutely excellent work my friend.

I was as surprised as Karen when the cylinder dropped off at 11:06.
@Kurtis, you are the Chuck Norris of large machine repair!
I have never seen so many comments in the first 3 minutes of a video release! Awesome!
Right?! All for the Safety Officer 😂 #1 youtube star
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.
Banging out the jobs no one else will touch is how you build a reputation as a miracle worker. When you’re starting a business, this is the stuff that gets your name out there and brings customers back time and again.
That should be one very happy customer. He will save some down-time and cost. A lovely job!!
Hi everyone,
the editing of the videos is just as impressive as the commissioned work. good work as always.
Thank you so much 😀
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.
One hell of clean weld for not using a Tig Welder that much! A pro is a pro!
Your dog is quite the happiest character good dog
Superb video. Karen’s surprise reaction was priceless! Well done, guys… 👏👏👏
I began welding to repair things I couldn't afford to replace and ended up owning a welding shop for thirty odd years. You do some really interesting and difficult repairs as a routine operation and your skills really shine through. Homey just adds to the home-grown crew and what's a shop without a shop dog? Happy birthday, Homey!
Your dog has to be the happiest dog in the world. I have a St Bernard I know he's very happy. But watching your dog. Makes me wonder
I love it when you film while it's raining that big metal shop you can hear the rain come through so clearly sounds relaxing, if I was there I would just close the doors and kick back in the hammock after I finish my work of course😅
I really enjoy your vids. I’d be interested in seeing how some of these repairs are re-installed and how they perform over a period of time. Great job!
That kind of job makes for a long day. You have gained a customer by doing what no one else would do . well done , enjoyed . God bless .
Homeless he can't keep a new toy nice, Happy Birthday Homey. The real star of this video.
That was an exceptional vid…between Karen’s filming and editing…..along with Kurtis’s detailed explanation….that a muppet that is so far removed from your industry…I’m a chef…can understand and appreciate your knowledge and skill…..thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Happy 10 th “Homey”👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Damn when you applied the heat to the rod, and it dropped off. I wasn’t expecting that. The man knows his stuff. 💪🏼💪🏼 Always enjoying watching your work. Learning something new all the time.
My favourite part of Friday Arvo tbh. Thanks mate
No worries mate glad you enjoy it!
You've definitely mastered your craft, thanks heaps for the uploads, as a business owner myself I'm thankful for the time and effort by you and Karen to bring us these videos. I'm flat out at work and everyone I talk to is the same right now so definitely appreciated.
There are certain kinds of geniuses in the world , some are nuclear physicists, some are doctors, and I believe in your case there are those who can see what cannot be seen with the eye but only with the mind. Absolutely fascinating to see the thinking behind and the understanding of what needs to be done to get the product to be what is desired... love your show and your dogs cute
Only way to grow as a whole is to push the limits of what others think can be done. You are a skilled man that's for sure lots of experience and I bet a gallon of some corn whiskey that he gets it.
Morning Curtis, could have fooled me saying you don't do a lot of TIG, welds look really good. Do you know the company that re chrome's the cyli ders as it would be interesting to follow one of your repairs right through. Regards to you both. Richard 🇬🇧
hey mate nah i'm not sure who they use if we ever get a chance to show that we definitely will!
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Thank you
Regards
Loved the smoke test 😂 great visual explanation!
haha nice glad you liked that!
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering But what was the smoke from? I hope Kurtis' breath wasn't quite that bad that morning 🤣!
Your skill set has no equivalent There isn’t a single word to describe your abilities. I would hope in near future you can find an apprentice to train none of us are getting any younger. Homeless is so fun to watch his personality also your wife goes a superb job filming we need to see some screen time of her she deserves that. Thanks again for great videos
Those threaded holes in the rod for grub screws also throttle oil flow by the number of screws used. No screws present, wide open flow. Happy Birthday Homey!🎉
