Cutting Edge and Cylinder Rebuild | International TD15C

[@CGT80]

Your subscriber count is wrong! It should be 415K subscribers! I'm used to seeing the numbers on Diesel Creek and Farm Craft, but this channel is up and coming and has the same potential. It makes me want to be right there doing the job with you, even if my middle aged body doesn't like the physical work from the decades of wear and tear and genetic issues. Working with my brother, I have operated a bunch of equipment, small and large, and have had a taste of this stuff for a handful of years. I'm living vicariously through you youtubers who scratch that itch in my brain. My own projects and jobs are just on a smaller scale, but there are certain people like us who are just not content if they can't build and repair on our own projects or equipment and tools. It takes more than a construction job where we just do work for others, to make our brains happy. Some of my tools are old ones that have been restored and some I built myself to get a very nice tool and the satisfaction from building it.

[@XCHANGEDAVE]

A person could learn a lot watching a smart guy like you. Thanks for showing us things.

[@kennethjohnson4280]

Sam always has that grin on his face like he's in the middle of pulling a really good prank.

[@tedmoery6091]

It's not enough to work my own butt off all day. I sit here all evening watching someone else work his butt off, too. Ya, we love it! Good attitude makes for a good job. Keep on!

[@ErictheAmateur]

I’ve worked on old cars and trucks most of my life, but I’m a novice to the hydraulic world. I bought a John Deere JD310 backhoe. (It’s the original ones before the 310A). This video will come in handy when I rebuild the boom swing cylinders. I’m learning a lot watching yours and DieselCreek’s videos. I appreciate your content.

[@ScrappyIndustries]

Glad to help! I’m not sure which style glands that JD would have. There are quite a few different styles

[@ErictheAmateur]

I’m learning that too. I’ve even got to figure out which backhoe is on my backhoe. lol

[@gregorycross612]

Another good one to watch for hydraulics is Curtis at Cutting Edge Engineering. If you don't want all of the 'working words', don't watch the out takes at the end.

[@billtodd6509]

Nice to see someone keeping his equipment in first class shape. Your corn sure looks green for this time of the year. Have a nice day, Bill

[@phantomphixer679]

Sam, depending on your distance back to the air compressor you might wanna put in a accumulater. Old air tank 3-5 gallons, with just an inlet and an outlet. Place at end of long hose from compressor, then use a short hose to your air tool. Long runs from air compressor have a lot of resistance, you'll be surprised how much better your air tools will operate. Can help with long runs painting big outdoor equipment. Thanks for the videos.

[@manifold1476]

The idea of a 'reservoir' near the output makes sense. Being trained in electrical and electronics, I can see the parallel benefits in managing air flow and managing electrical current flow, against the odds of "in line resistance". The tool did run efficiently for a half a second (after a short rest) while the air hose shrunk a bit, (but the 'stretch' in an air hose makes a poor reservoir).

[@tdotw77]

Yeah it sounded very weak but I know those Aircats aren't weak at all. So it's either a pressure or volume issue(maybe both). Being too far away from compressor, having too small of a hose or fittings themselves are constricting air internally. Upgrade hose size, bigger internal diameter air fittings & the 'pig' tank(volume support tank) will make huge difference. But you're on to bigger things with the big battery Milwaukee system so probably not gonna bother with air tools anymore. 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️👍🏻👌🏻💪🏻🛠️🔧🔩🗜️⛓️⚙️📏✏️📐🔌🔋⚡💥💨🍻✌🏻

[@CGT80]

What he probably knows but it took me a long time to learn is that tools need proper air pressure while running, not with the tool off and pressure checked at a regulator before the hose. Many guys on garage journal forum, pros, run 150 to 175 psi at a regulator but when it gets to an impact it is closer to the 90 psi they are supposed to get. For my little shop, I went to 3/8" hybrid tekton usa made hose with as few quick connects as possible and they are V series high flow safety couplers. Since my paper filter setup is 125 psi max, I set my regulator to that where it enters the 1/2" copper pipe in my walls and all my tools end up working well. If I had to run die grinders or a belt sander for long periods, I might check the pressure at the tool while it was running. The blast cabinet runs great at 70 psi with all the volume. Before upgrading the hose and coupler diameter, I had to run well over 100 psi for blasting. My IR 2135 Ti 1/2" impact is great for 2500 and 3500 pickups and misc. jobs, but out in the field with heavy equipment and doing infrastructure work we use the Milwaukee impact also.

[@olspanner]

This bloke knows his stuff!!

[@1MeatBattery]

The Craftsman locked up because you slowed it down after it was turned off. It causes the gears to jamb up. My dad always told me not to slow down the grinder after its off by grinding it to a hault, because it was hard on the gearbox and cause it to lash the gears. Doesnt probably help that yours is probably 40 years old either.😋Love your channel. Thanks for your hard work bringing us along.

[@paulgilliland2992]

If you register the tool I think it extends warranty by a year . That said they don’t cover wear items or consumables . Take it apart and have a look inside. It may be something simple but if it’s a board or the actual switch itself they can get pricey. Rule of thumb if the repair costs up to 40% of replacement it’s worth fixing. We have a dedicated Milwaukee rep because we buy half a million worth hand tools every year . We also switched from the yellow model brand so repairs and replacement are no issue . I would write them disputing the rejection if it’s out of time you’re basically fixing it yourself . I recommend an Irish KZbin tool repair channel Dean Doherty, he’s brilliant at fixing anything but specializes in overworked prosumer tools.

[@renem6441]

Great job on the cylinder rebuild!!! Between you and Matt are rewriting the book of OSHA safety!!!😂😂😂😂 thanks for sharing

[@TomLongusa]

Success…w/o the whole C&C shop &staff. Just a man on a mission, with an assist from a backhoe & forklift. (backhoe use was probably mentioned in the cylinder manual)🤔 Impressive.⚡️💥 👍

[@art1muz13]

Your corn sure looks green. Between you, matt and the ''Northwest-Hillbilly'', I'll be opening my big machine shop soon!

[@tmscheum]

You should check out Squatch253 especially if you like old Cat crawlers.

[@williewombat1851]

Did you think about giving/selling that old grinder to Matt? seems the type of thing that would be right up his ally! 😂

[@ScrappyIndustries]

😂😂 might have to do that!

[@paulprigge1209]

Those cylinders are so fascinating how they are put together. Never gets old watching them taken apart put them back together. My chief babysitter was an F 14 mechanic on a Flat top/carrier

[@tdotw77]

If you don't watch @CuttingEdgeEngineering yet, check him out. He often totally remanufactures these huge hydraulic cylinders! 👍🏻👌🏻💪🏻🛠️🔧🔩🚜

[@akdonlh9924]

Grinding wheel..no guard.. stuck trigger…I love it 😍

[@raymondhorvatin1050]

Good to see you fixing your own equipment

[@mischef18]

Made for great viewing bro so thanks for letting us tag along. Safe travels. Ken.

[@richardsharp6875]

Thank you for letting me watch this. Procedures I will keep in mind.

[@philstreeter9703]

Great job Sam. Your very calm, especially when stuff doesn't work as planned. That TD25 purrs like a kitten.

[@Species5008]

According to the main title, it's a td15.

[@terryrogers1025]

Patience and persistence, the key to ram rebuilds, especially if its on older equipment, rust is the best natural locktite in the world. Excellent job on the rebuild young man, I enjoyed watching, thanks for the video.

[@danielpullum1907]

Scrap, Ya took the words right out of my mouth, ye ole grinder is toast!. Interesting many moons ago I had Craftsman 7" but ran 9" discs once in awhile. I replaced it with a 9' Milwaukee and even had to replace it eventually(same symptoms as your Craftsman) with a 9" Metalbo. Good thin I don't do as much grinding as before because the Metalbo won't last that long. Boy that IH sounds strong!!!! Impresssssiiiiivvvvveee. Blind, tho she may be---no lights1 Observation at 48.50, at 60++ your chiropractor will be your best friend. LOL

[@billyhaddock5540]

Congrats SI, on getting the cutting edges and rod out of the cyclinder/ put-on new rings and put rod back-on. great job..

[@AdelinoGambiarras]

If everything would bean essay in life it wouldn't be fun atoll but you got it done that's what counts. Tools are very expensive but it makes work essay an enjoyable but when they break is a sad moment because just have to buy a new ones so work don't stop and that's life like it or not !.

[@korhing1066]

Back in the Day ! Never thought i Would be saying this But ! No Fancy Electric Tools ! Just a Torch got it done

[@robswank5209]

The air-operated drive can be a result of how big the air hose is, and how long it is also.

[@kevinmurphy3464]

Well looky there, I’m a dumbass from Los Angeles and now I can spout off about moldboards and how to protect them. Great video Sam. Dig learning about heavy equipment from your content. Gotta say it’s been a longtime since I used any of my air impacts and that 1” Milwaukee is a beast! Thanks for the entertainment and I hope you and yours have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

[@georgeenriquez612]

Sam, your videos are always top notch 👌🏻

[@ScrappyIndustries]

Thank you! Let me know if you have suggestions to make them even better

Get a bigger hammer as Matt would say Mr.Sam...Great Video..!!

[@ScrappyIndustries]

Always need a bigger hammer lol

[@ljkck3578]

You work with the cutting edge bolts like someone who has shed some blood before. 👍

[@stuartwilliamson9667]

Nice to see you keeping the old iron running. I learned to run dozer on a TD 25

[@downrightme6811]

I love too watch you work on the heavy equipment, even though I will never do it but the knowledge is priceless

[@Dinglebells123]

I built a tool for holding plow bolts into their holes. I extended the length of the jaws on a weld-clamp vice-grips, and welded 2 jaws on one side, with a space between wide enough to fit a socket. The single jaw was positioned on the plow bolt head, and the 2 jaw side on either side of the nut. Made removing wear edges much easier.

[@akdonlh9924]

I’m waiting for for one of you guys to start welding sheets of steel to your dozer then I’m in

[@ThatPartsGuy]

Too bad your good buddy Matt couldn't have hooked you up with a can of Kroil before you started on the bolts!

[@rintin1874]

Brilliant video Sam watching from Edinburgh Scotland UK 🇬🇧 👏 ❤ , Sam do a video showing what stuff you got still to work on 😊

[@Bman2020]

A dirty kinda job and it tried to kick you butt well done 👍👋🇨🇦

[@davidcolesr.8628]

Good to see you Sam

[@richardgreenlaw1442]

Put a layer of axle grease on the blande under the cutting edge. It keeps the cutting edge from rusting to the blade. I always did that on my plow trucks. Along with anti seize on the bolts

[@roycepruett5862]

I could just see the Emory cloth grit & dirt falling into the cylinder oil while you cleaned the cylinder.

I've watched a few of your videos by now and I am recognizing many situations, where you did things like I would have done them, or where we both had the same thoughts about things. Definetly worth a subscription by me, so please excuse myself while i am consuming all your recent videos :D (I really love these kind of videos, fixing machinery or playing with them... great lil hobby!)

[@taurota1554]

I always buy repair components for tools at the time I buy them!!! Parts availability and shipping are just not up to the old Sears &Roddick standards!

[@mattipeltola3285]

Following Diesel Creek and Matt mentioning you on several occasions and just watched Area Diesel Service about one of the "not so well happened stuff"-turbofix they did for you I decided to come have a look. Like the way you do you, so decided to follow and will eventually go through all of the content, if it is of similar quality as this one. Nice job!

[@gregwhite7957]

Hi Sam. I watched ADS rebuild the rebuild of your turbo today after this video. That thing is really nice. Basically brand spanking new. I was glad but not glad to see that it was their mess up and not yours. They stand behind their work. It’s a great company. Can’t wait to see it installed and in action. Take care and stay safe.

[@tdotw77]

Yeah, Sam got a way better turbo the 2nd time they built it. Can't believe they found that center section at all, let alone a brand new OEM one at that! 👌🏻💪🏻🛠️🔧🔩⚡💨💥🚜✌🏻🍻

Well done Sam

[@scpvrr]

There are several ways that Milwaukee could have done better at customer service. (1) Don’t put short warranties on high end equipment. (2) Give repair estimate and fix it. (3) Sell you the parts to fix it. (4) offer a discount on the current replacement model. I feel it is just plain wrong for companies to fully abandon products and leave the customer high & dry. I had a similar thing happen where the manufacturer stopped an entire line of products, exiting the market. They offered me a discount in one of their other products, but I declined because I actually needed the product they didn’t manufacture anymore.

[@richardthomas1743]

HEY! Good morning Sam and thumbs UP!!👍

I've taken to watching videos by Dean Doherty from Ireland who is professional power tool repairer. He has a very low opinion of Milwaukee tools, but has said views might be different over in the USA where you get far longer warranty periods. Seems not from this video!

[@stevenseitz8779]

I have a couple electric tools that need coast started lol

[@dominickfagan4050]

Job well done. Hate that about the Milwaukee tools if you are giving them the business they should look after you. Not like me buying something every now and then. But a business like your own were you buy tools a lot. Think their Rep would be smarter

[@metricstormtrooper]

Here in Australia, Milwaukee wouldn't have a leg to stand on as warranty expiry or not, products need to be fit for purpose and that impact obviously hasn't been badly treated and should not have failed like that, you would be getting that repaired or replaced by the manufacturer s. Milwaukee should replace that as I wouldn't be buying a Milwaukee product till they did the right thing.

[@kingtut5923]

Great work as usual, you ever considering to get a job on Gold Rush? That would keep you busy.
