Repair DAMAGED Mining Truck Cylinder Barrel | Part 1 | Machining & Welding

You won’t believe what damaged the inside of this barrel! This video is part 1 of a job to repair a damaged hydraulic cylinder barrel from a mining truck. This is the hoist cylinder barrel off a Caterpillar 785 Haul Truck, the cylinder helps to lift and lower the body when dumping out the payload. Something has failed and caused big scratches and gouging on inside of the barrel, so we need to replace the main part of the barrel! In this Part 1 we show step by step to disassemble the damaged barrel by machining off the barrel end and the head flange. We also fit and weld the head flange to the new barrel using spray transfer MIG welding.

Speaking of things falling off trucks. A few months ago a construction company was doing some sewer and water work next to our shop and their skid steer was stolen overnight. They came by that morning and asked if our security camera had any footage of the theft, but we didn't. About a week later the guy came back to tell us that he had to turn our water off for a few hours and I asked if they had heard anything about their machine. Apparently the idiots that stole it never tied it down to their trailer and it fell off on the highway about 400 miles from here. Despite falling off at highway speeds it suffered no serious damage. While the thieves were trying to recover it the cops came along and soon figured out what happened. The three were arrested and the skid steer was returned to the construction company. These clowns were trying to take the skid steer to southern Ontario down the Trans-Canada highway, a journey of perhaps 1300 miles. They would have had to go through multiple weigh stations where the lack of tie downs would have been discovered. I guess they forgot to steal some ratchet straps. Ken

[@SeanBZA]

@@hmw-ms3tx Had to get some machinery moved a few years ago, and the hardest part was the first 50m, because it needed to be somewhat dismantled, and then moved down 2 floors to the truck. Luckily it fitted the lift with an inch to spare. The tank before it went out, after it had a 20 minute session with a massive plasma cutter, turning it into plates, as the original method it used to get there had involved removing windows, and a mobile crane. Took longer to connect and disconnect the plasma cutter to power and air than it took to do the job, turning the tank into pieces that would fit through the doors, and also be easy to carry. Scrap value of the stainless steel tank was a lot less than the cost of just removing the window, and also the access for the crane was going to be a lot harder, as the interim period had seen building work occur there, so you would need a much bigger, long reach crane. Borrowed the plasma cutter and FIL to operate it from his work, he took a lunch that day, and actually left the shop.

There is always one person who gets overlooked, and that is the person behind the camera. Karen, I would like to praise you for the great work you do as producer, director, sound engineer and the great work at the editing table, and last but not least your good humor with a sometimes difficult performer in front of the camera who has not always read the script, or have a poor memory. 😜 Ok, if it absolutely has to be mentioned, Curtis you are doing a great job as well.😄 Best regards from Denmark.

Every one of your videos seems to provide an escalating level of education about the technicalities of your profession. As a seven year old child in the 1950's, I lived in Oxted, Surrey where my parents managed the Hoskins Arms Hotel 🏨 (built in the 1880's, and unfortunately demolished in the mid 1970's), located adjacent to a large building which housed lots of industrious tradesmen peering into the spinning jaws of their lathes. It was an era when well-behaved, curious little boys could roam such places without an adult chaperone, and watch for hours, ask questions and make friends with them. I guess it helped that they knew my Dad poured their beers at the end of their shifts, so I never got told to "Scarper!" Your videos are an extension of that lovely experience I had all those decades ago, and I'm very grateful to be an ongoing subscriber to your channel 😀

I've watched a good amount of these videos, and they still have the ability to blow my mind from time to time. When he heated the barrel up and the eye cap just fell out.... Impressed me enough to say "No way" out loud. To myself. At 2am. Then the fit up of the head to the tube while on the lathe was just awesome. Might be normal day to day stuff for machinists, but for a normal guy, it's pretty fun to learn new things.

Friday is a good day as I get to watch my 3 favourite Aussies, Homey, Karen and Kurtis. Good job getting this far looking forward to part 2. If our apprentice trainer ever saw us welding on a lathe he would have had our gonads in the blink of an eye. The trick was to do it while he was elsewhere, all we'd do is cover the slideways and make sure we cleaned down well afterwards. I'm guessing that you have kept that old bit of pipe to make a realistic swear jar for yourself, LMFAO. Be safe, take care and see you next week. Thanks for posting and keeping us all happy.

Check out their catalogue of older videos. Excellent, excellent videos for binge-watching.

[@barbeonline351]

Karen, Quite a while back when I first became a subscriber, I posted a compliment to you on your videography. Early in this video I felt compelled to renew that compliment. And watched the remainder of the video through a cinematic mindset rather than a metalhead. This was no tripod documentary. Establishing shots, closeups, multiple playback speeds, multiple angles, pans, narrative, ASMR, continuity, tropes, before/after, reference shots, respite, hooks, the list is exhausting. (A drone overhead is about the only missing component.) And this isn't a film student's gratuitous spew of technique, this is story telling. I just want to let you know that I recognize that there is a second talent here to at least match Kurtis. But I also understand that to feel the expression in a painting, the frame must be chosen carefully. It has to expose the nuance in the color and strokes, and at the same time be invisible in the consciousness and memory of the viewer. So I will let you remain the giggles in the outtakes. But you have a fan.

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

If all the internal of the barrel needs is a honing wouldn't it be prudent to have the internal ID of the barrel turning true to centre? Being retired, I watch a lot of KZbin vids and by far yours is my favorite Thanks for your educational content. By the way, you need to get Homie a job as a durability tester for dog toys.

I’ve “refined” my milk crate seat with a piece of 3” (thickness according to need, I had 3” on hand) rigid foam. Closed cell works too. Young butts are less finicky than old butts. I like the idea of elevating the rotator to save Kurtis’ back.

@@asw19B100 When your young you don't realise whats comming in 20-30 years time, we took everything in our stride, if uncomfortable you just got on with it, now at 65 I'm paying the price, hips worn out and back with displaced discs, nerves getting trapped in my kneck that make your fingers always numb, don't think I'll make it to 80, don't think I want to either, every day is a chore.

I'm honestly a little addicted to your videos. I like the details and reasons why things are a certain way. Really like when Kurtis has his funny remarks left in the final edit. Freaking hilarious. Great job guys.

I really like the clock in the background. Shows, quite nicely, how long what you do takes to do properly. Good way to add value to the video.

Somewhat mixed feelings about multi-part videos. Hate waiting for the rest, but when it is great content, it is worth it. Totally understand the time restraints between videoing and other shop related stuff. Just keep the videos coming.

Can't think of a better way to fill a day, surrounded by snow, than watching you and Mustie1 performing your magic.

What are these inches things that get mentioned? Are they similar to bananas? Love seeing the clock in the background. It also gives you some idea of the time that goes into just welding that flange on. The fact that it takes so much welding also explains why it gets so hot and needs time to cool down. The clock also indicates that the 3 of you work some fairly long/late hours.

I did my time and qualified as a general & mechanical engineer, toolmaker but was one of many laid off a year later. I then did my time as a carpenter and joiner and been doing it ever since (over 30 years). My heart is still with your kind of work, and I know, you know your stuff!

I'd rather see a multi part high quality video you're happy with, because it shows what you folks are capable of. Had a great laugh at the "leave stuff the way I found it" - if you did, none of this stuff would get fixed! Thanks for the great videos, and give Homeless a pat for us!
