Repair DAMAGED Hydraulic Cylinder for CAT 651 Scraper | Part 1

This video is Part 1 of repairing a damaged hydraulic cylinder for a Caterpillar 651 Scraper wheel tractor. This is the Apron lift cylinder on the machine and has been damaged by something causing massive amounts of scratching inside the barrel and on the piston. In this part 1 video we start with the old cylinder barrel and set up in our lathe for machining out the welds to remove the barrel end and head flange. We use welding on the head flange and heat with flame torch to expand and remove. The head flange needs to be bored out, built up with weld and then machined out to suit the new barrel tube. We then set up the new steel tube in the lathe for machining the outer diameter and boring out the inner diameter to match OEM standard and interference fit for head flange. We then measure and drill in oil port holes into the new barrel and heat up with flame torch ready for interference fitting the head flange.
In this video we are using:
- TM-26120G Lathe
- BM-63VE Milling machine
- WIA 500i Weldmatic welder

Man you have some serious skills. The mig welding alone is scary stuff.

Man I don’t even know at what point I got lost, but you’re literally tearing apart something I thought couldn’t be torn apart, yet is so incredible and can’t wait to see the final result, I even doubt you’re gonna take it to its original shape.

Having now watched a goodly number of your videos it never ceases to amaze me how, whatever the piece of equipment, you know where to position the strop on the overhead gantry hoist. Likewise, when setting up a piece in the four jaw chuck, just a tap or two to bring it back to an acceptable runout. Not something that can be taught but is learnt through experience. 👍

In the "bloopers " it looked like you were about to launch that end of the tube body, you'll have to get a " retriever " dogs, cause I don't think that your little dog would be able to bring it back 👍👍👍👍👍😆😆😆😆
