  • There’s more to this repair than we first thought and it didn’t go as planned. This is a front suspension strut off a Caterpillar 777 Mining Haul Truck, the wear band seal groove has worn out and started to “ramp” so we need to reclaim it. We show the process of getting this big suspension strut setup in our lathe for machining but unfortunately once we get a dial indicator on it we realise the repair is more than what we and our customer first thought! We wanted to show that not all jobs go to plan or work out and this is one of them.

      There is nothing I hate more than investing time and brain into a setup, only to find out that there was a fatal flaw in my assumptions. In your case, I am curious whether there is enough volume and profit to merit fabrication of a quick-and-dirty go/no-go rig to determine concentricity beforehand. Very nice Sherlocking!

To me, it's engineering at its finest!

      @@Unexpectedperspectivesnow I'm pretty sure I watched him ENGINEER a nice counterweight, As well as ENGINEER a steady rest guide. Also I'm 95% sure you could not engineer your way out of a wet paper bag. It's actually a fairly broad term. a person who designs, builds, or maintains engines, machines, or public works is the definition, design and build (a machine or structure) is the verbal definition. And technically by fabricating those parts and incorporating them into that big lathe means he designed a machine specifically for the purpose of working on that specific strut. If that isn't ENGINEERING than I'll kiss your ass.

    Sometimes things just don't work out as planned, and this is a great example of that principle in action. It was odd watching the dial indicators work backwards to each other as you worked your way thru the bore; I'm not sure 'flogging' is adequate to describe just how abused this particular strut was. The outtakes are priceless, and you work well together. Thanks for the video!

    Really disappointing to see the customer not go ahead after all the set up and diagnosis, but that’s the way she blows. At least you’ve got a huge clamp now 😂, and you’ll of charged accordingly for the time spent.
    Always amazed to see you setup repairs, I did get worried when I didn’t see you do a support band, but pow, no problem, cut one on the angle.
    That lizard made me laugh, not sure how you spotted the critter, but hopefully he’ll think twice before climbing inside a excavator.
    Thank you Karen for the the great angles you get of everything, you never miss a thing.
    Stay safe out there!!

    Guys I absolutely love to watch your videos! I did my time with CAT and remember these struts coming through with cracks and carnage abound. Your videos are informative yet humorous and show the just how much experience and expertise it takes to get the job done. The only thing I hope for is that Kurtis can share his skills and train the future generation because he is an absolute wealth of knowledge. Kurtis, I haven't caught your partners name, but she is an absolute gem and has some serious skills behind the camera. It looks like you guys have a great time working together.

    Love this channel Kurtis, been a follower for about a year now, also HI to all the Engineers out there, i`m not an Engineer myself sadly but my Father was so i inherited some of his love for precision and quality, i`m a 53 year old Kitchen Installer from the UK with almost 40 years experience who takes great pride in the quality and accuracy of my jobs, i`m also heavily into ancient engineering techniques, specifically how the so called Dynastic Egyptians cut and polished igneous stone like Granite and Diorite which has a Mohs scale hardness of 6 - 8, there are a good few Engineers out there now who believe, as i do, that these highly accurate monuments and statues were cut on machines similar to lathes and mills, the precision on some of these artefacts is to within 100th of a millimeter yet were are told by the mainstream archaeological community that they were done using copper tools, chisels and dolorite pounders BY HAND, anyone who knows Quartz, as i do as we use it for countertops, knows it can not be cut or shaped using copper or bronze tools to this precision, also under a microscope these objects don`t show impact marks which you would associate with chiselling and hammering, they are perfectly smooth, perfectly square and they even pass the light test with an engineers light test you can`t get that accuracy by hand, many of these artefacts show evidence of tube drills cut at a rate that we can`t replicate even with today`s highly advanced CNC machines, there`s evidence that huge 1200 tonne blocks and single columns were cut using a huge overhead circular saw and Live Centre holes in the bases of 200 - 300 tonne single piece granite pillars, there is an English Aerospace Engineer who moved to the States called Christopher Dunn, his qualifications are second to none in the field of Engineering, he`s travelled to Egypt and other locations around the globe and conducted tests on many of these artefacts and he`s concluded they had to have been cut and created using ancient engineering machines, something we are told never existed in pre history yet the evidence discounts that, there is a channel on CZcams called UnchartedX presented by an aussie guy called Ben, his channel is dedicated to exposing these incredible highly accurate artefacts and calls for academia to acknowledge that there was once a long lost forgotten ancient highly advanced civilisation that existed before 12.500 years ago and was erased from human history by what`s known as The Younger Dryas Impact, a theory that has since been proven correct and it`s been peer reviewed, my big ask in all this to all you Engineers out there is to have a look at Chris Dunns work and Ben`s over at UnchartedX, see the evidence for yourselves when you get time and if at all possible lend your expertise and engineering knowledge to their work, the more skilled engineers who get on board the quicker science and archaeology will take it seriously, the theory is that in pre history there was a highly advanced global civilisation that had the knowledge and technical ability to build these ancient monuments and that the Dynastic Egyptians only uncovered, inherited and repurposed these sites thousands of years later once Earth`s climate settled down and human population and society was rebuilt, a big ask i know but i know these guys would appreciate your time and skilled knowledge to either agree with their hypothesis or point out errors in their theories, thanks for reading all this, i appreciate it cheers.

    Hi Karen, Curtis and Homeless, from Arnstein in Norway (67, male).
    I discovered this channel a week ago so I've only watched 100 hours so far :-)
    (I'm of course subscribing now, and turned on the bell !)
    I've been a computer geek since 1979 and this is probably the most addictive thing I've seen yet.
    I have some experience in this type of work, but I am at level 10 out of 100 compared to Curtis.
    Everyone likes to follow the masters, and to see the quality in what they do and their attention to details.
    Your experience and knowledge from previous work shines through in everything.
    CZcams will make you wealthy, and you both deserve every cent you get.
    Good, kind, rational, humerous, honest, charming, hardworking people deserve everything good that comes their way.
    PS
    1. I love all that the technical stuff, but I really want to learn more about you two as a couple/people. Karen deserves even more priase. Does she do *everything* from shooting to publishing? VERY impressive work!
    2. 95%(?) of the followers don't know much about your work or the lingo. What about a "lingo course"? Maybe in the descriptions, as text..??
    Or, maybe a separate "lingo video"..? Students around the world are following you. You have a huge influence on them.
    (OD, ID, "mil", line boring, prep, honing, grinding, ++++ (a real 101 on mechanical work shop lingo....)
    3. I use fast forward quite often, especially on repetitive parts #2,3,4,...but that is OK...
    4. More about handling/ security/ welding fresh air supply +++
    5. And, as I see, you are now focusing on, whenever possible, the real worlds apllications of the parts. I love that.
    6. Interviews/praise from you customers.
    7. Interviews/praise form your suppliers. From your friends/family.....?
