Making a NEW Cylinder Barrel for CAT D10 Dozer | Part 1 | Machining & Welding

  • This cylinder barrel has seen better days, it’s cracked and worn out, we need to make a new one! This is from the blade lift hydraulic cylinder off a Caterpillar D10 Dozer. The trunnion mounts are worn out and need to be reclaimed, we also found cracks around the trunnion that go all the way into the barrel plus the barrel end has had a failure and been incorrectly repaired. In this part 1 video we show the process of disassembling the barrel in the lathe by machining out the welds that hold the barrel end, trunnion and head flange to the barrel. We then attempt to remove the ends by heating to expand and shrinking the barrel with cold water. We also machine up the new stand offs and reclaim the trunnion mounts by welding and machining to suit the bearings. We also give the head flange and trunnion a sand blast so all our parts are ready to go on the new barrel. Stay tuned for Part 2!
    In this video we are using:
    - Hafco TM-26120G Centre Lathe
    - Hafco TM-1740G Centre Lathe
    - WIA 500i Weldmatic welder

    This job not only shows the skills of excellence that Kurtis has but also his business brain. When customers can get a replacement part on the spot and don't have to wait for a repair it leaves a great impression because no one likes down time which equates to lost revenue. Building up a stockpile of ready to go exchange parts will increase business potential due to increasing CEE reputation as not only a reliable and first class repair shop but also able to offer many replacement parts emmediately.

      Oh... plenty of shops reclaim them, what you see tossed out is the garbage results of that. You can reclaim them only so many times when your work is subpar, so when someone who actually knows what they're doing looks and finds the signs of "yeah, that's cooked" they'll toss it out.
      I took my dozer in for a few repairs and got some scrap tubes for less than scrap for that reason, as explained.

    Hi, I don't miss a single video of you! I can't wait to see new videos! About this video above, I was looking forward to seeing the sandblast, but you guys cut it out! It's very pleasant to see sandblasting at work, I really like watching restoration videos and sandblasting is a "therapy", lol. Next time, don't cut this part, please! A big hug from your fan here in Brazil.

    "... it'll still be cheaper than OEM." Indeed, and having seen so much of your superb work now, we can be sure that it'll be quite a lot higher quality than OEM once you've finished it. That's a win, win for your customers!

    Loved the explanation of the repairs, common failure points and how using the machine makes them break. Betrays a very deep understanding of the machines in field and workshop conditions!

    P.S. The safety officer is so sad. Buy him a new toy. And I also a little bit jealous you're having a spring time in Australia.

    Good Lord you are really fortunate to be in an industry where new part prices are SO high that refurbishing or remaking parts is very profitable👍 And getting new parts apparently takes forever….making your business a very needed service within that industry 🙂 And very, very profitable 😄👌

    29:00 - When looking at that tiny tungsten-carbide tip eating up the steel, it still feels like a miracle that it doesn't wear away immediately...
    Awesome material, and beautifully filmed.

  • @hughobrien4139
    @hughobrien4139 Před rokem

    Hold the phone! I had to stop the video after seeing that material handling job on the reunion removal.
    Didn’t know material handling could have that level of craftsmanship. Damn fine job!
    Moving from west Texas to central Oklahoma some 25 years ago I heard a term spoken often and haven’t seen very many moves made that fit the term. Now I have! This one wins the internet today for me!
    “That was neater than a skeeter’s peter!”
    Now I’ll go back to watching the rest of the work.
    I won’t be forgetting that one!

    Spending time and effort just to figure out the root cause and history is so smart. You can Show and tell Customer what went wrong so they can stop their faults. You should receive some compensation for this QA and consultation work.

  • @ICA17887
    @ICA17887 Před rokem +5

    Another great video from the CEEA. You have to be a professional to machine this kind of cylinder because without knowledge there is always the danger of seeing the part fly over you, but with you and your experience you will know what to do and what not to do. Can't wait for the Kurtis suite.
