Machining and Vertical Honing a Caterpillar Dozer track adjuster cylinder | Part 1

This video is Part 1 of repairing and replacing a Caterpillar D10 Dozer track adjuster cylinder that has been damaged. In this video we are machining and vertical honing the new track adjuster cylinder barrel. First we setup and machine the end off the old track adjuster cylinder on our TM-26120G lathe. Then machine up the new barrel by turning down the outer diameter and boring the internal diameter of the hollow bar. We finish up by using our Delapena Vertical Honing machine to finish hone the internal diameter of the cylinder barrel to spec ready for welding.

I stumbled on this channel by accident. I don't know much about machine shop work, but I can appreciate it when someone knows what they are doing and are good at it. I find myself learning something new each time a video is released. Now, if you would only explain what those initials mean for the various cutters you switch in and out. Oh, and the dog is the bomb. I've got a few of those myself (although my bully is bigger and blind).

Stick a live centre up its arse... heh heh. Love the shots of the safety officer. Another top job! Love that honing machine. If you're interested, check out the 50 ton rudder on HMS Victorious aircraft carrier that I worked on in 1968 as a 3rd year apprentice. We had to take it out, remove the old bronze sleeve, machine the steel stock with an air driven contraption on the dock bottom, then heat the new sleeve over a wood fire as it was rotated and get a team of labourers to lift it on wooden bearers when it was hot enough then slide it on the machined stock to cool down and grip. Then we had to re-install it. The for the pic here "The Rudder may not look very big" scroll down to page 6.

It is certainly nice to see someone that doesn't waste time and energy trying to tighten each key socket on a 3 jaw chuck. Tightening just one is all that is needed.

[@warbirdwf]

What would be interesting to know is the cost savings to the customer with you making/repairing these parts vs. them going to Cat and purchasing them new. I remember having backhoe outrigger cylinder rods cut off and replaced at a local machine shop vs. buying complete new ones from Case. Having the machine shop cut off the damaged rod and then welding on new rod was 1/2 the cost vs. buying new. Good job on the video's and content. And good job to your gal for filming for ya.
