Heavy Equipment Repair on HUGE Cat 992K Loader Cylinders! | Machining, Welding, Honing

[@mapo5976]

Very considerate of you guys always adding insert clips of what parts need repairs off what heavy vehicles. It changes the perception of what is repaired. Very informative. Thanks for going that extra bit for us.

[@donalddehaven3229]

I look forward to Friday morning here in Pennsylvania as I wake up to CEE. Kurtis, Karen, and Homeless make my day. Karen does an awesome job with videoing and editing the extremely talented work of Kurtis and then watching Homeless is the icing on the cake. Love the channel

[@wjf0ne]

@donalddehaven3229 They certainly have hit on a winning formula, lots of machining, a bit of giggling, homeless killing squeaky things and Curtis fluffing his lines. But where were the Magpies for this episode?

[@therealxunil2]

Same, but in Indiana. I watch while drinking my coffee at my desk, avoiding work.

[@williammiller4786]

That is a good looking pallet!

[@seancasey2444]

It's the nicest one I've ever seen.

[@petegraham1458]

Wow! What a brilliant setup you have made for your business, it’s clearly a very valuable addition. Good on you two for finding ways to streamline and improve your enterprise!

[@DGAWDGAW]

It looks to me of being made of metal.

[@halfameet]

I really enjoy the zoomed out time laps of the second barrel. It gives a good perspective on how much "hurry up and wait" there is. Thank you for another great video!

I’m on time for once… whoop whoop! 🥳🥳🥳

[@MrPhils1958]

Which of course was the real reason you’re using the Zayer, to give the shopmade gear a run.

[@BrooksideFarmBarreMA]

Next project.. bigger bed clamps, amirite? 😁

[@jarnosaarinen4583]

My favourite channel!

[@bostedtap8399]

Those are "Machinist Jacks", very nice. Using the Zayer and the shop made bore welding stand is top level production 👏.

[@unixnut]

I love it when Kurtis says something like "my heavy duty machinist jacks" and opens a box to reveal a tool that 99.999% of the world's population has never even heard of, let alone seen. 😆

[@apistosig4173]

seeing those shop made vertical line borer tools in action was very impressive.

[@DAVIDMILLER-nc9vo]

That "vertical" line borer was honing in a HORIZONTAL position!

[@paulhammond7489]

Shop made tools for the win... Being able to retain the x and y for the the eye using the welding stand made short work of that part of the reclamation, and a nice bit of multi tasking to be more efficient... Thanks Karen and Kurtis, also not forgetting Homey

[@PLafreniere76]

Thank You Kurtis & Karen for taking the time in making these videos for us to watch. 🇨🇦 🇦🇺

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

you're welcome mate thanks for the support!

[@larryshillings6672]

Ditto.

[@larryshillings6672]

Let me interject. A lot of people may not understand the full extent of the service that you provide. 1> savings on purchasing new parts. 2> savings on freight charges 3> savings on down time (customers lose a large amount of money in most cases for every hour that their machine sits, not working) It's a no Brainer. Turn around time is got to be the most expensive. 4> The customer can actually watch the process on KZbin. They can view the professionalism as well as the ingenious methods that Curtis professes. Not to mention all the expensive machinery that takes regular maintenance. Curtis is always updating his machines as well as techniques that he alone has systematically introduced. His knowledge is vast and his work ethic is unsurpassed.

[@larryshillings6672]

I'm not buttering you up. I'm actually a bit of an a***Ole. But I do admire your work. So don't get the big head. Everybody knows who and where you are and they all talk about you. So you probably already have the "big head". Ha! Have a good day.

[@paulaus]

I like the way the argument in yellow paint marker remains part of the machines history.

[@BruceBoschek]

As much as we enjoy the Franna crane project it is really comforting to see some proper machining again. Especially love that big Sunnen honing machine. Also, seeing the new line-boring/welding jig doing exactly what it was designed to do was a treat.Bella got really excited as she watched Homie tear open the box. Thanks again for another wonderful video. I watched alone first while getting a rheumatoid arthritis infusion. 🙂

[@BlueSpark-vy3fd]

The new Welding Jig worked great, one setup for the eye reclaim must have saved loads of time. Awesome video, thank you 👍👍🦴

[@braveworld2707]

I reckon his new toy has already paid for the R&D cost, development, CAD company (Karen?) designing it, getting it cut out and Kurtis' labour building it. Now it's all *PROFIT!!* Nice!!. 👍👍

[@brianmackey6923]

Kurt’s level of detail and Karen behind the lense are second to none

[@netraxer9729]

Those slow motion fast motion moments are not boring at all. Kudos to the lady-filmographer.

[@ronnydowdy7432]

Homeless really enjoyed opening up his mail to find a new toy. PRICELESS watching him being so excited to have a new noisy toy. Gotta love Homeless. ❤

Another Gem Karen and Kurtis!! And Homeless is having fun too. Those were some big cylinders. Cheers from Florida. Hope you two have a wonderful weekend. Thanks for posting

[@gusviera3905]

Hi, guys! It's great to see the tools you have created and acquired being put to use on your paying jobs. And it gives your customers the luxury of working with a trusted "one-stop shop" they can rely on to quickly service and restore worn hydraulic cylinders and other crucial parts with a quick turnaround. Brilliant. 22:00: I think those are the pigs I sent to Homey a couple of weeks ago. Hope he enjoys! Have a great weekend guys and see you next week! Cheers.

[@trevorwinter5071]

Your investments are certainly paying off, overall you must have saved a considerable amount of time now with the big mill and your shop made welding jig. You are a man of many talents.

[@dennisc3238]

Homey didn’t even bother to mess with the box once he got the toy out…off and running! 😂 Great video…watching Kurtis work is always interesting, and Homey is just icing on the cake.

[@danielcarter305]

WOW...Karen, these are like professional shots! 👌👏👏👏

[@dougfraser77]

Your production value is insanely good, Karen does such an excellent job!!

[@gigantor56]

Don’t think I’ve watched any videos of the honing machine. I’ll have to go back and see what I can find! Once again we get to witness Kurtiss’ knowledge and work for perfection for his customers and Karen’s amazing ability at filming and editing! Thanks guys!

[@tartarugapunkQ]

There's dozens of videos on both honing machines, search for any cylinder replacement and you'll find it

[@RCake]

Check out the dedicated "unboxing" video, that one was very informative

As always kurtis makes it look easy with Karen doing fantastic video as always

[@dougwood6186]

Kurtis you are the best the mining and earthmoving clients you have must save thousands with your repair skills and quality of your workmanship , great to see you shop made tools being used . Karen top job again on the edit and homie loves unpacking those parcels . Thanks again for the weekly fix

[@roberta4989]

Hey guys. Had major back surgery last Wednesday. Still on the meds and a little fuzzy headed. When I got home on Monday I was so happy to see a CCE episode waiting to be enjoyed. That made me smile. Thanks, I forgot about the pain while I watched. Cheers! Hope all is well.

[@kenricrose]

Hope you feel better soon

[@gigantor56]

Hope you recuperate quickly. CEE is the perfect place to recuperate! Enjoy Kurtiss’ perfection, Karen’s flawless filming and editing and of course Homeless taking care of security and safety!

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

Hey mate, we're sending you wishes for a speedy recovery from your surgery! Fun fact, Kurtis had back surgery to remove his tailbone many years ago after a work injury, some idiot setup a broken chair that Kurtis went to sit on and fell, he had back pain and issues for 2 years before the surgery. Take care and all the best!

[@Andy-Gibb]

Robert I also just had lower back surgery. L 4, L5, dual bi lateral foremnectomy with the removal of some of a previous spinal fusion. Take it easy and listen to your doctors and also enjoy Homeless and friends when they post fresh episodes. Regards from Townsville Australia

A thank you for sharing from France. It is great to see all the previous work that you have planned: reorganization of the workshop, repair of the machines, purchase of equipment, creation of tools finds its concrete conclusion today in the repair of these two large Caterpillar cylinders, There is no doubt that your customers will future potentials will appreciate your professionalism.

Good morning Kurtis, I love the ingenious invention you have made to be able to weld vertically. You are a very ingenious person and everything you do is fantastic. I love seeing your work, which is always an innovation. I look forward to the progress of the Farnna crane. Greetings to Kare and to the homeless 🐾

That new welding stand you manufactured works beautifully. Good Going. Please give a scritch to Homey. Thank you.

[@darkhill556]

Always amazed by how efficiently Kurtis works. Something for us amateurs to learn in every video. That welding stand is a game changer! The whole eye reclamation done in a single mill setup. Wow.

[@alanfenwick9307]

What an episode! Homey looked like he was turning up for work ,apparently late. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought that poor pig only had 30 seconds to live after being unboxed. Nice to see the new shop made tool in action. Karen, about those slo-mo's - Perfect! And Kurtis being Kurtis including - "having a problem with reverse, I'll just use a left-hand cutter." Most enjoyable, thank you as always K, K & H. 👍

[@johnknowles-f2e]

I wonder if you could use a set of hold down v blocks with chains like on the Sunnen hone for the milling machine when you need to clamp big stuff like this. I would think this would be quicker and easier than the machinist stands and other toe clamp type set up. Perhaps you could make a set as a shop made project. Thanks for all your videos, something to look forward to each week.

I absolutely love watching a master of there craft you both have such skills it's crazy the amount of talent between the 2 of you....makes me regret not paying attention in school and being lazy through my younger years so im just and probably always be a truck operator, im trying to make it sound fancier then it is 😂....I definitely do regret it because I do have some natural talent working with my hands and can think outside the box also pretty good with problem solving....yep I should of done a trade. Great episode yet again....

[@RobB_VK6ES]

Normally I find unboxing videos inane but homeless nailed it right there. I made bore welder many years ago to eliminate having to set up and break down of the line boring machine. It was essentially similar to your boring bar but had the feed thread cut into the bar itself and ran in bronze bushings and a fixed nut. Threads were left with a large flat at the crest, mitigating wear. A 3mm pitch is optimal for layer buildup. Driving the bar was done via a simple gear train with an idler acting as a clutch which also allowed manual rasing and lowering of the bar using a hand wheel. Wire feed was an old mig welder wire feeder and the spool was also attached to the bar top so everything went around with the bar. This arrangement eliminates the wire flicking caused by the wind up using a fixed spool and rotating contact tip. Cut off wheels make excellent draught excluders simply held up to the bore bottom. They also create a pool of shielding gas in the bore which is good for arc stability. Side benefit was not havng to constantly cut new wire liners.
