CAT D10 Dozer Cylinder Rebuild | Part 3 | Making the New Rod

This video is part 3 of rebuilding a Caterpillar D10R dozer blade tilt hydraulic cylinder. In this episode we are replacing the damaged cylinder rod. The rod has scratching and the chrome is damaged so needs to be replaced. We start with pressing out the old bushing to check if the eye is damaged or not. Then the rod is setup in the lathe and we machine and part the eye off the cylinder rod. We machine up the new cylinder rod using 4" inch diameter induction hardened chrome bar. We need to machine both ends of the cylinder rod, the first end we are machining for the piston and cutting the external thread for the nut. The other end of the rod we also machine to fit the original rod eye, which is then MIG welded with metal cored wire before machining down the welds to complete.

In the United States it is very common to have hydraulic cylinder rods ground and hard chromed as a way to restore the rod to factory conditions. Do you ever do that or do you only replace the rods?

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

Hey mate thanks for watching great question. Yes it does make a difference. MIG weld usually bit more guess work trying to determine how it fits together and machining apart to suit the existing join. With friction weld (like this one) much easier to machine/part off and turn a spigot at the same time.

I worked in a large machine shop. Only people killed in the shop were operating large presses.

Swing the screen closed before pressing. Might think about that for your vertical press.

The cameraman and video editor are excellent ! Greetings from Russia!

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

She says thankyou!

[@stevebeavers3754]

Great editing and content as usual. Curious if this will sell for same as new or a % less than new?

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

Hey mate we will sell for less than a new OEM part 😎👍

[@BruceBoschek]

Another Friday saved from the doldrums. I'm always pleased that I learn new things from your videos. I did feel rather badly about Homey and his grenade, until he finally trashed the office and got it! LOL Thanks, as always for a great video.

No disappointment this week, you are building the excitement for part 4, this is quite the series, and Homeless steals the show again, sorry Kurtis, at lest the swearing was better, I mean there was less.

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

😂😂😂 The less talking I do the less swearing there is! Thanks for watching mate glad you're enjoying the vids

[@seanliddy6462]

Another really great video guys! The camera shots are brilliant! The checking of the first thread you did, was that checked with a go-no go gauge?

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

Hey Sean! Thanks for saying so, the missus is loving her S10 camera much nicer close up and slow mo. That was an original CAT piston to test the thread

[@ibTeeMac]

Got my machining/ Homeless fix . Another awesome video and 12:40 am here on the West coast of Canada so off to bed feeling satisfied.

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

Omg the smoothest threads I've ever seen 😳 😯😮😲

[@TomokosEnterprize]

Another winner bringing me back to days long ago my friends. Thanks for the memories folks. Take care eh.

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

Anytime mate! Always glad to hear you enjoyed the vid. Cheers 😎👍

[@TomokosEnterprize]

@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Thanks a bunch mate. I always appreciate you coming back to me on my comments. I have my own channel where I pour pure silver making all kinds of things and can appreciate how much time it takes to answer a bunch of folks and keep the comments individual to the ones that make the comment. Stop by if you like. It would be great to have either of you come and visit. Take care now eh !

[@Mark_I_Am]

@1:38 if I would have attempted to take out that snap ring with two screwdrivers you would be less at least one employee, a shop window, 1 to 2 cars in the parking lot, and a few pedestrians taken out all at once. I love your videos, you’re a true craftsman with your skills.

[@cougar1868]

Hello again. you are a good guy and know what you are doing, I love to see you work on difficult things, I just say BRAVO 👍🌹

[@sidwainhouse]

Top work as usual mate!!! Nice to see it's not just my dog that's thicker then a whale omelette... Many years ago we had a Staffy Bull Terrier, near as damn it same breed as Homeless, he was unquestionably faithful and loyal family member but a bit dense. We had a lower door panel damaged so it was missing for a few hours whilst I got a replacement but he still wanted the door opening for him rather than just stepping through the massive hole he'd just stuck his head through... 🤣🤣🤣 My three year old daughter loves watching your channel with me, I get to see engineering work, she gets to see Homeless, win win for both of us!!! 👍👍👍

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

Hey mate thanks to you and miss 3 year old for watching glad you both enjoy it. Yeah he's not the sharpest tool in the shed, big boof head all brawn not alot of brains 🤣🤣

[@cliffmorain7215]

Kurtis, I had a guy ask me one time how does that drill a hole when the bit is not turning. Kinda funny but I explained the reason to him. You do incredible work, wow.
