Machining out SEIZED Head Gland | CAT 785 Dump Truck Cylinder

Publicado 2021-07-30
Todays job in our machining shop we have a Caterpillar 785 Dump Truck outer hoist cylinder that has a seized head gland. We need to try and save the $15K hollow chrome tube by machining out the seized head gland. The cylinder tube also has an internal buttress thread for the head gland that has been damaged by rust and we will do thread chasing on the lathe to repair the buttress thread.

In this video we are using:

    As a retired Engineer with 50 years' welding and machine shop experience, I'm VERY impressed by your attitude toward your work and the care you take in executing it. With your approach to work and family, I'm sure you'll go far!!! Thanks for brightening my outlook on the younger generation. Wish we had more of you! And I love Karen and Safety Engineer Homey!!!! Keep up the great work, Kurtis!!!!
  • As a corporate drone that sits at a desk in front of a computer screen day after day after day, even I have a feeling of accomplishment when you pack up your finished work and wheel it out of your shop at the end of the day. Many of us are living vicariously through you!

    Look how far this community has come. Rewatching some of these vids in 2024. Only 240k subs to 1M!

    0:41 I really do appreciate this shot. Knowing where the part comes from and how it’s used (visually) compliments the repairing process. Well done & thank you.

    During WW2 my dad was stationed at various places in your country and had great things to say about your people. He said they truly did their best to make him feel like he was home.

    I’ve been a fitter in mining all my life, never seen anyone recover one of those tubes. You’re a clever bugger. Good job 👍

    I see lots of people leave comments of how impressed they are. Having said that, most of them really dont know what it really takes to do something like this and not f it up. I've had my fair share of challenging projects and I am very aware of what it takes. What I'm saying is damn mate, you are good. Something else I notice is you rarely ever seem to not know about how to do the task. Knowledgeable guy. Not many left.

  • @Numsz

  • @puncherdavis9727
    Cheers to Karen for dealing with the special dog and the very special man child LOL
  • @lustfulvengance
    I feel like every time someone has a piece of equipment break and needs it fixed this is the guy that everybody says "I know a guy that can fix that!"
  • @nickslayer4368
    Cheers for actually taking time to reply to your viewers 👍🏻
  • @5crawfad
    Why do i leave work and go home and watch videos of someone doing the same things i do every day at work? I guess i just enjoy it that much lol.
  • @ApprenticeGM
    You're a legend Kurtis - I love the way you show the equipment in use and explain the problem and cause, do the machining to fix it, and add the design improvements needed to avoid the damage in the first place. It's what makes you a great machinist and elevates your channel to premium for home hobbyists like me! Thanks so much for sharing!
