HYDRAULIC PRESS RESTORATIONS

I have this great old 60 ton hydraulic press to restore.. This video has a little bit of everything.. Welding, cast-iron repair, Metal fabrication, Lathe work. You name it, I think it's in this video. This is the first of two videos. This one covers the disassembly of the frame and its reassembly. The second one we make the Hydraulic system mostly from scraps and spare parts from other systems. Enjoy and please leave a comment and subscribe.

I have a 50 ton KR Wilson, mine is from 1948, yours I think I saw was from 1942, I bought mine sort of by accident and had no idea how nice these presses were until mine arrived, mine needs to be resealed (cyl weeps) and the gauge replaced but otherwise is pretty good. It's great you rescued your KRW from the elements, too bad the two stage pump is missing but on the other hand electric over hydraulic pressure supply is a nice add on too!

[@Katya5cat]

I have one of those. Mine doesn't have the side handle for the arbor function. It was lost to history. My old boss wanted to scrap it. I asked if I could have it. He said yes.and I didn't waste time . I disassembled it like yours and took it home. It had some porosity in the cylinder's casting. When it was at full stroke it leaked. I filled the pores up with JB Weld and honed the cylinder. By the way as near as it can tell from the manual all the cylinders are the same from the 25-60 ton capacity presses. The frames are different though. I replaced the leather seals with genuine parts. They still have them both for the cylinder and the pump. Great piece of equipment. They are generally pricey presses if you can find them but are worth it. They will take a beating. At my work we used mine to remove big gear shafts and bushings and such. The whole thing would jump when that stuff let loose. Yes we were overloading it. It suffered some with the steel frame having some deformation. A 100T replacement press didn't do the same work any easier. It was built heavier though.

[@forrestaddy9644]

About the broken ear on that iron casting: Few tackle actual fusion welding of cast iron probably because its so seldom needed. Too few learn the skill to propogate their knowledge to succeeding generations. It's a critical mass thing. Most often, O/A brass braze or TIG/silicon bronze repair or build up of broken iron castings is simpler and perfectly acceptable. Arc welding (SMAW and GMAW) cast iron has never been a satisfactory repair mode for a variety of metallurgical reasons - except to stop a leak or in instances of desparation and time pressure. Not many who try observe the well established precautions of weld prep, cleanliness, heat control (preheat, post heat, and interpass temperature,) and most importantly, filler metal. Makers of nickel based arc rods intended for cast iron repair promise strong machinable welds but usually fail to deliver. When stressed they always fail at the fusion line. Those who attempt to weld cast iron with stick electrode or mig may be forgiven rookie mistakes or press of time but their efforts are doomed to fail at the least stress (like drilling a hole.) For one thing, the fusion line will be glass hard and, for another, the repair is inevitably brittle and weak. I've welded many cast iron antiques (lesson: never possess welding skills when living next door to a lovely old lady who traffics in antiques and bakes chocolate chip cookies), obsolete machinery parts, farm equipment, etc. I was taught by Benny Almencion, a rake handle skinny Filipino barely 5 feet high and a master welder deserving mention. Oxy-acetylene welding cast iron with cast iron filler metal if skillfully done results in weld deposits and fusion lines almost indistinguishable from the parent casting. When dressed, blended, and machined, close inspection by an experienced eye will be necessary to detect the well execurted weld repair. Here is the big secret: outside of the obvious need for a clean casting stripped of parts, a suitable joint prep, and the mating pieces (or cast iron insert) precicely positioned, the procedure is almost the same as for brass brazing - except heat control, whole casting pre-heat, torch settings and manipulation, and fluxing are critical. The temptation to work a fluid puddle must be stifled. Molten cast iron runs like water. The puddle must be worked at the barely liquid state - like cooked cerial or polenta - and the filler metal rod worked and stirred much like a smoker stubs out a cigarette. Use plain old Twenty Mule Team borax for flux. The keen eye and sensitivity to perform 100% cast iron O/A welds are developed skills not to be learned in an emergency. It requires practice and time for the practice to assimilate.. If the possibility of a cast iron weld is in your future, practice before you need the skills. Start with a thrift store frying pan (look before you leap: some old cast iron pots and frying pans are collector's items worth more than you'd think,) break it, then repair it. If you can make invisible repairs to a cast iron frying pan, larger repairs are merely a matter of adapting to magnitude.

[@ashleymillard3207]

Forrest Addy good comment. LOTS of good information. What are your thoughts on some of the videos on cast iron repair? I saw one stick weld but haven’t seen anyone else do that. But brazing with silicon bronze seems like a good idea like you said.

[@forrestaddy9644]

@@ashleymillard3207 Cast iron is unforgiving stuff when it comes to any form of arc welding. It's the dispersed graphite that gives cast iron its unique ptoperties and confounds quick and efficient weld repairs. I've seen a few videos covering arc welding techniques applicable to cast iron and while some of the presenters demonstrate the recommended steps (positioning parts, stop drilling cracks, excavating for weld prep, preheat, post-heat, etc) my rough trials using the same techniques show quite successful results from a purely uliltitarial perspective. There is no denying properly executed arc welding methods for cast iron repair are more ceonomical in terms of time and labor but it must be emphasized that the prep, heat control, filled metal selection, etc cannot be skipped. And most of the time the casting must be remove from the equipment and thoroughly cleaned if success is to be attained - always a progress stopper for anyone with a breakdown and an urgent need to get back in business. It's often a case of do it right or do it twice. However, O/A brass brazing repairs in cast iron are generally more durable. Silicon bronze TIG (GTAW) repairs are also very effective provided the casting is properly pre-heated prior to striking an arc. The same precaution for cleanliness, positioning, joint prep, etc apply. I tend to prefer it as the intense heat of the arc yields quicker results than O/A - saying again, proper pre-heat when using an elecrtic arc in cast iron is that much more important. However, when full penetration, fully machinable, full strength - or invisible - weld repairs are to be made in iron castings, I fall back on O/A cast iron filler metal for weld repairing cast iron. Double the fuss and bother but definitely the best results. Story: Back in the day, a friend of mine loved old farm equipment. He found a decrepit and incomplete horse-drawn seed drill built about 1900 that came with a large box of broken castings. He'd sorted and matched most of the pieces and came up with enough to complete the implement in conjunction with the new red oak parts he made. He brought the casting puzzles to me to stick them together. It took a couple of winters of spare evenings but eventually we invisibly weldied all the fragments together, dressed and distressed the repairs to blend with the cast surface. It was a labor of love but I only did the welding. The castings were well formed and almost graceful, a testament to excellence in turn of the last century design and worthy of first class work. In the end, after a lot of research, cleaning, fitting, and painting, Smitty had a 24 unit seed drill, indistinguishable from factory new. Beautiful. For my labor, I got a home raised and smoked ham. Good enough. He hauled it around to fairs and farm meets, etc. That was 40 years ago. I heard his widow sold it to a collector in Manitoba for a pretty fair price. Point of the story is appropiate process. That restored seed drill was perfectly servicable and would have survived regular use - the abuse of deep settings, stoney soil, etc - as well as if when new. I don't think any repairs made by arc welding would have lasted. Brass brazing, probably good as the original casting - but when the paint wore off, there would be that shiney brass repair like a gold tooth in Miss America's smile. Or you might not care; you just want to stick the handle back on the hub.

Its a good, heavy duty looking press thats built to last. About the cast iron cylinder head that you brazed, could that whole part be remade from a block of mild steel - by machining? Looking at it from my couch it looks like this is possible. You have already fitted it but if it was out you could have taken dimensions and size on paper and at a later date remake the part.

[@outsidescrewball]

Enjoyed...lots of work both in the rebuild and video production....didn’t see is there a lift mechanism for the cross table on the press

[@MaturePatriot]

At 00:33 there looks to be one on the left hand side of the press. With the way my shoulders are, I'm gonna need one for my HF 20ton press.

[@mabmachine]

Very nice work as usual, looking forward to part 2! The secondary purpose of the arbor press style handle was you could unlock the valve on the pump and use the spider wheel to run the ram down against the piece so that you didn't need to pump all that oil. The ram would suck the oil from the reservoir, and then you could engage the pump and go to town on it. The hand pump also had two pistons so once you got up to pressure you could disconnect the larger piston. I'm curious as to what you do for a pump, to achieve 60 ton on this press you need abound 6000 PSI. -Mike

[@Peter-V_00]

Tonnage is not based on pressure as much as cylinder piston diameter, this why the majority of hydraulic systems operate at 3000 psi, pump size determines speed of operation, cylinder stroke length also provides some multiplication of actual work force of the 3000 psi source.

[@EDesigns_FL]

@@Peter-V_00 MAB Machine's comment was absolutely correct, and almost everything you stated in your comment is wrong. How is it possible that you are so ignorant of how hydraulics function and, yet, you chose to post a comment on the subject? Arbor pressure = πR² * P (R = piston radius - 2½", P = hyd. pressure) 120,000 lbs = 3.14 * 2.5² * P P = 6,114.65 psi Arbor pressure is in no way impacted by the length of stroke. Piston area and hydraulic pressure are the only relevant factors, and they both have the same impact. If there's only 3000 psi, then the press will only provide a maximum of 30 tons of force.

[@Peter-V_00]

@@EDesigns_FL Hmmm, must be why my old redundant dual 50hp baler with a 14 inch piston and 54 inch stroke ran at half speed on one drive but at 3000psi operating pressure made 150 tons half stroke and 400 at full stroke, think as you like, my post stands.

[@EDesigns_FL]

@@Peter-V_00 You're obviously an expert on hydraulics. 14" piston @ 3000 psi generates 461,580 lbs force. If ignorance is bliss, you should be extremely happy;-)

[@JoeSmith-zi3bi]

I'd suggest trying something new with welding cast iron. Use a rod called "supercast".. it's for stick rod welding but I bust the flux off with a hammer... (It's easy to do) then use the rod with a TIG welder. Preheat the casting of course. Groove it out and weld it. Then peen it real good with an air needler / descaling file. It will be just as strong as before it broke. This also works well for welding stainless steel to a cast iron casting. Done it for many years and still seems to be a well hidden secret.
