Boom Lift Cylinder Rebuild | Franna Crane Project | Part 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 тра 2023
- This is Part 1 of our Franna Crane project. We are getting started on repairing our Franna MAC 14 crane and we are beginning with the boom lift cylinders that are in desperate need of a rebuild. This video we get both the cylinders off the crane by removing the pins and hydraulic hoses that are connected. We also show the step-by-step process to disassemble and tear down the cylinders using our hydraulic press. We find out that not only do the cylinder rods and seals need replacing but the inside of the cylinder barrels is also rusted and scratched and we will need to replace those as well! Stay tuned for Part 2 when we get started on manufacturing the new cylinders.

We hope you enjoyed the start of our Franna Crane project and of course when it's your own project things don't quite go to plan 🥴 It might be a while before the crane gets the racing stripe paint job but at least there will be plenty more videos to come 😂👍

In the "plus column", by the time you've finished with all the maintenance and repair/rebuilds, and have banished the various gremlins to the outback, it should be good for a good long while! Great video editing as always, and Homey rounds out the whole thing. Looking forward to future vids. Cheers from So.California, USA
Racing stripes don't make it lift anymore but they do make you drive faster lol 😆 😂
Does Homie ever come back from his runs down the back with a brown snake or two in his mouth? Not now but maybe summer.
IN THE LONG RUN IT WOULD BE BEST TO CHANGE THE LOOM .
Guys, you GOT to keep that missile swith even after instaling the safety systems back. As... redundancy. Yeah, that's a good -excuse- reason to keep it... 😁
On the plus side, this crane project is going to make for a fantastic series!
perfect for a youtuber
Ik be gud ya?
For me, the best part of working second shift in America is that i get to watch the new CEE videos right when they go live in the middle of the night here
how goods that, hope your night shift goes quickly 👍
I’m not working anymore,I really enjoy watching a skilled machinist millwright doing things properly. And what an excellent machine shop he has. Videos are very good.
Sometimes the same for me, but it's because I often have a horrible sleep schedule.
To the editor. That transition from around 21:22 to 21:29 where he's backing up the forklift, you then pan left and he's walking into view is amazing 👏
Even the opening shot was gorgeous! :D Cool transitions :D
Yes! Tere are a lot of scenes were perfect shorts can be made! Camerawork is on point!! I really like the slow motion Welding stuff.
Dog Cam for a short would be hilarious
The thing that never ceases to amaze me with these videos are all the contraptions and methods Kurtis uses to remove things or disassemble. I learn so much from the different techniques.
Yea, I liked the swop from the two pound hammer, to the 14 pound sledge for the second pin..!
Homey-Cam is an insight into the canine world..
Looking forward to parts 2 ( 3,4,5 )
I feel for you Kurtis, as an auto sparky myself it shits me to tears when people “modify” stuff to get other things going instead of just fixing it properly the first time and then opening a can of worms like you found there ! Im going to enjoy this series. Thanks again for all the effort in doing the videos !
Love watching South Main Auto when Eric attacks electrical issues and finds owner modifications. Those are the usual suspects.
As a mechanic, that whole section made me cringe. Its like 20 extra minutes of work to wire up a dedicated ignition circuit. People doing cheap work makes me alot of money though
@@Dje4321 lets hope he got it cheap at least.
The man has kills and hacks for anything it seems just like us all. He will have a crane tool box engineerined in white I guess. Id love to do this kind of work but work in an office / home all day. Zzzzzz. On your feet and fixing stuff. Yes please. Wish I knew engineering was thing at school and uni.
@@Dje4321 as an ex trawler man having too fix my own boat. I’d pay for an electrical engineer too fix it right, rather than bodge it and it fly alight 🔥when I’m stuck in a bit of weather at sea. Cos me and electrics are like oil and water 😂 in fact I’m bloody dangerous near electrics 🤣
The mechanical side I can do with me eyes shut, but electrics 👉🔥 every time 😂✌️🇬🇧
It still frickin amazes me the knowledge this dude has about everything! He's one of those guys that can do anything well I bet. The homemade spanner was awesome! I need to see more videos! I love how great the video editing is and how well everything is explained. Love the quick outtakes of the dog and other animals. I've tried to watch other similar channels and they are just boring and the editing sucks. I even find myself watching all the ads because they're mostly tool related. What a great channel! 👍
WECOME to the channel boom9389...l have been watching this channel for awhile and love it...l suggests you scroll the many other videos and ben watch them, when you have the time...welcome m8... that their way of saying friend ...
@@gerardocabrera3787 and when he refers to bananas, hes talking imperial units.
I just have to say how much I admire your craftsmanship Kurtis. Unless the customer wants you to cut a corner you won't. And here is your own crane and you won't cut them either. A great example of honesty, integrity, and amazing skill. You are a true shining example for doing things RIGHT! And thank you for being that person.
Honesty is most efficient....
Thanks from Canada for my Friday morning fix. If it was anyone but Karen these videos would never be made. Your ability to know when to chuckle and how to offer straight forward direction to Kurtis, which he accepts from his wonderful wife, keeps Kurtis on track when all he really wants to do is get the job done and done right. Being interrupted repeatedly to explain what he's doing, and why, often multiple times at the same stage of work, must drive him nuts. Thankfully, Karen, you've got the midas touch with Kurtis. It's a complete joy watching Kurtis using old school equipment while repairing or fabricating heavy equipment parts. Your knowledge and experience on wide ranges of equipment are amazing while adjusting shop priorities to handle rush jobs to keep customer equipment working as quickly as possible.
hey mate you nailed it with this comment 😂 thanks for the support it's honestly comments like yours that keep us motivated with putting in the time and effort to keep making videos 😎👍
It's those explanations of the what, why, and how that make so much of the value of these videos imo. I'm a computer and electronics nerd, but I've always had a strong mechanical and engineering talent and interest and It's mostly through videos like these that I'm able to feed those 'side' interests.
@@nerdgarage I have to agree, it’s the explanation, and detail that are some of the best bits of these videos, I love when he has a similar job, but rather than just doing it the same way he did last time, they show us a different way to achieve the same thing, and explain why he chose this particular method, over the previous. Kurtis is an amazing engineer, and Karen is an amazing Director
As a Journeyman crane operator from Canada, I'm so glad to see you buy this and want to fix it to a proper and safe standard. So many people would have bought it and just run it as is until is was so far gone it would only be good for scrap.
100% agree this man does it perfect or not at all. Real old school craftsmanship is always a pleasure to see.
@@TheBluealan2000 yep. Jack Of all trades and master of many! I've learned a lot watching his videos!
Not everyone is a machinist so they won’t know how to fix it. And machinists aren’t free.
@@FishFind3000I guarantee that we machinists are a hell of a lot cheaper than a new crane 🫡
@@MrMorbitron in alot of areas machinists wont even do certain work because they have so much work they can pick and choose what they want to work on. I've been having that problem with auto body. 10+ shops in the area and not a single one will fix my truck because it's not insurance work.
Damm son, looks like you can fix anything from the break of dawn, to a broken heart. Keep up the work it's good to see something on here that's actually worth watching
The quality of your videos is first rate. I could not do what you do (I am 79) but really enjoy your expertise and "can do" attitude. Karen must have the patience of Job in order to do all of the camera work. Great shots of your grunts and groans plus her occasional vocal expressions. You two make a great team. You are appreciated.....
"Lived in the wash bay" Gives a whole new meaning to used hard and put away wet. Such a shame that everything is even worse than you first thought but at least once you finish going through it you will have a machine you will be happy with and know will work.
Great comment, wish I'd thought of that!
😂😂😂
I really like watching Homey running with the camera on his back. The look is surprisingly fantastic. The perfect vision of our beloved 4-legged friends and how they see the world.
Hugs from Brazil !
Staffiecam!😅
Gives a real perspective on how gonzo the boy is. Amazingly the GoPro? seemed to keep the view on the level...
All I need is 2 minutes of the HomieCam to completely reset my attitude. It's good for the soul.
Despite the content thieves on other social media platforms, there is only ONE CCE. And every Friday I get to immerse myself in Kurtis, Karen, and Homies work. Thank you all so much for all you all do! As I’m prone to say on occasion “Keep it up, and don’t work too hard yall”!
I don’t understand how you can endorse unethical acts
The jump cut to Kurtis sighing about the unnecessary spanner had me rolling.
I love the fact that you guys do the repairs yourselves. Not only does it save money, but you also learn from it, and by watching you, others learn.
Thanks for sharing.
I was thinking the same thing, if he didn't do the repairs himself, they would cost more than the machine was worth.
@@cyrilhudak4568 But adding to the cost of the repair, is the income lost from not doing outside work. So $ cost of replacing the cylinder is weighed against income lost + materials and parts cost in building the new cylinders.
@@schsch2390 I think the revenue generated from his videos, patreon and merch sells offsets any potential lost revenue. He probably wouldn't be taking time out of his day to produce content otherwise.
@@schsch2390if you're getting that pedantic then you need to factor in the additional efficiency and work generated by being able to use the new crane. plus as the other commentator said, the income from this video alone probably negates all labour and material costs at least.
@@hayleyxyz YUP WHAT HAYLEY SAID!! statement to the whole internet world.
its a good thing you guys found someone able to work on the cylinders lol
A man can never have too many tools. We all know what to get you for Christmas! Duplicates!!
That’s so cool how you incorporate replies directly into your videos! Fans are truly being heard.
"I don't know how long it is yet, because I haven't pulled it out" Curtis 2023 🤣
🤣 was wondering if anyone would comment about him saying that LOL
Happy Friday Everyone!! 🔥🔥🔥
I'm absolutely loving that Karen is throwing in more and more of their personalities into the main video. When she jumped from the press popping, and the Kurtis with the wrench building shenanigans.
A number of years ago we had a female American bully come live with us. She was about 6+ years old and homeless.
After about a month, she accepted and trusted us and it has been life changing. We’ve always had a dog in the home, and many fine ones. But the Bully has been the most gentle, confident loving animal ever. When I see homey, he is the identical male version.
I really like that you take a few seconds to show homey being himself, it just makes m smile. Peace !
Homey sure was cute huffing and puffing while he was running with a camera on. Sure shows he has alot of energy. Loads of fun those cylinders. They don’t get much worse then that.
I must say, I admire your ingenuity,don’t have a tool,easy,just make one. Brilliant!Well done 🇺🇸👍
I love the Homeless Cam footage, that pup cracks me up
It sucks that those cylinders were in such bad shape. It is great for us viewers that get to see how it all comes back to life.
It's soo nice to see people who knows what they are doing filmed by people who knows what they are doing!!! Regards from Sweden!
Fair bit of mission creep going on with that job and I suspect it will continue as you work through it.
The good news is that the crane survived many years in a harsh environment so will last forever with you guys once rebuilt.
A good investment in time and money on this one in my view.
Highlight of today was Kurtis's look when that gland nearly fell off after making that spanner - I nearly choked on my tea. It will get used putting it back I am sure.
Going to love the crane rebuild saga. Top quality work is so entertaining.
something tells me he'll be dragging out all the usual tools with this one - except perhaps the milling machine
This is going to be a great series of videos 😃
You can’t mega tighten the gland as it needs to be clocked for the hard line attachment. That is why it is just finger tight.
@@ericpaul4575 Of course! Thanks!
@@ericpaul4575 It's an amazing spanner, tho. Much respect for that - it needs to be wall mounted to "encourage the others" to behave. ;-]
This looks like one of those projects where the further along you get the more stuff needs to be done.
That was a very interesting way to make a wrench that fit perfectly with just a couple parts.
Gday Kurtis and Karen, what a barstard, its a surprise they weren’t leaking with the amount of metal in the seals, at least they won’t give trouble for a long time, awesome job mate, have a great weekend, cheers
Getting the pins out is always a relief to any maintenance man
The “simple spanner” was a genius design, even if you didn’t really need it. I would never have thought it up.
That look on your face when you saw the inside of those barrels!
A proper sick note
Homey's safety round, Karen's directing and editing, and all bloopers are all fun to watch, sadly the state of the cylinders turned out so bad, still - I know you'll handle that
There is no Friday without another CEE video
Thanks for the Friday vid fix 👍 (OK, already watched the uncut Patreon version yesterday 😉)
May all the cans of worms you find be small ones. (Shame they will not be real worms as you could feed them to Russel & his mates 😂)
My $0.02 suggestion: The lights need to be blinged out - need to be much larger, bright as the sun and shiny 😎)
All the best,
Paul
Hey mate! We'll definitely put your suggestion on the drift project *ahem* crane project 🤣👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering I recommend ECCO brand LED worklights. They aren't cheap though.
@@CuttingEdgeEngineeringdo you do much work at night? I can't remember seeing a video where you'd need lights on the crane.
@@akmarksmanyou get what you pay for
@@billtheunjust it depends on the time of the year, in his winter videos, he was often still working well after dusk.
Thank you for the back story about the crane, the viewer comments, your starting difficulties and your trip down the rabbit hole with the electrical system. As always, following your first deep dive into the machine, I'm certain Cutting Edge will produce an educational series featuring critical thinking and professional grade skills. Keep up the great work! 😊Always enjoy Homey's GoPro video. Toss him a toy for me ♥
That high speed laughter at 36:24 when the second gland comes off as easy as the first 😂
Luv your work and have your merch 🖖😄 I am disabled now and just seeing
shop-work without getting in the way is very important to me , thank you for sharing What You Do . 🏆
Man, "I didnt even need a spanner" the heavy sigh, that oil just sizzling because said unneeded spanner is still so fresh the welds are still hot, absolutely killed me. This has been an interesting dichotomy of absolutely rested out stuff, and stuff still coming apart relatively easy, somehow.
There is nothing more expensive on a mine than a fitter with a set of cutters!
So bloody true.
I have worked on heavy equipment a lot before and it amazes me your ingenuity to figure out how to safely disassemble things. Things I never would have thought of doing.
Have a great weekend you three!
No wasted effort and always safe.
After watching your approach to your jobs I know this sows ear will indeed turn in to a silk purse. Loved the spanner from spare metal. Those cylinders saw serious use so your making replacements is the best way to go. Patching on equipment is not the best , it may be back in service Quick but it will most likely break just as quickly. Stay safe Kurtis, Karen keep the camera work as good as it is and give Homeless a extra biscuit.
3:16 it's really cool how people can recognize individual machines from way back.
I love it when the camera operator makes funny little sounds that get left in after the edits, cracks me up!
It's a good thing you "know a guy" who can fix the mess.
Karen's soft exclamations are cool again. The videos continue to get even better and I'm sure watching you get this back together will be a lot of fun to watch. Lots of trains in the background and aircraft too!
Enjoy your weekend and take care,
jack
Her jumping at the press made me laugh
?$-“ off train !
I get so much from watching you make tools Kurtis. That spanner you made was simple but it worked really well. It reminds me that there’s always someone out there that you can learn from! I’ll be keeping that trick in my head for years to come. Cheers from USA 🇺🇸 you too Karen! Don’t let those spherical bearings scare you 😅
You know you got a fresh spanner when the oil crackles and smokes on it! That was awesome.
Kurtis: "It has turned into a much bigger job than I had first planned."
I have a feeling that this will be the recurring theme as he restores this crane, as it has not been well maintained.
It very fortunate that Kurtis "knows a guy" who can do these repairs; it saves him a lot of money.
Best part of Friday Morning: Upload from CEE. Homeless being a bundle of energy and watching Kurtis being a repair and fabricating boss. Along with Karen's exceptional camera work, its going to be a great to be a great time. Thanks for another great vid.
OMG Karen I absolutely bloody loved the trade show video 🥰😍 You look amazing and gods bless him Karl looked like he was in his element with all his little lathing buddies 😁 it was so satisfying. The food, FFS you were killing me with your incredible, eye watering buffet of English breakfast items. I’m not going to lie, I cried a little in my home in San Francisco. Now I’m on hunt for proper breakfast and I’m no goney take any prisoners. Missed homey, looking forward to the video 🥰😍😘😁
🤣 thank you for the great comment! Glad you enjoyed that video & seeing that breaky 😄
When you find a proper breakfast place in SF, please follow up here. One day I can take my gf down to it. (We live in Sonoma County)
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering yes, god bless Karl lol
I don't know if Kurtis is doing it intentionally, but all of the projects he keeps talking about have me absolutely salivating at the prospect of all those future videos!
My great great uncle Perkins designed the Perkins engine! Wow! I thought they were extinct like dinosaurs!
Thanks again for making these vids of your brilliant work Kurt and Karen.
What I love: Your knowledge, the standard to which you work, your ingenuity (spanner). Once I made an adjustable peg spanner as an exercise. I am familiar with the seal kits, having worked in a Ford tractor dealership. Oh, and Karen's videos. From the UK.
Good old Murphy is sitting in on this rebuild for you Kurtis. It's no fun when the job goes his way. You will have him beat in no time.
17:22 "Oh....this one's worse"
love to hear that
G’Day Kurtis, I have two Yanmar-powered Deere machines that use elements to preheat the incoming air, rather than using glow plugs for cold starts. Your engine is unfamiliar to me but perhaps it has a similar scheme.
Love the content, you three - special applause for Karen’s outstanding video production!
lots of Perkins diesels have a similar thing. They use a nozzle in the intake manifold to put a mist of diesel on a heating element. This lets the engine draw in the warm part burned mist, the mist burns easier in the cold engine and it starts, hopefully ;) It's common for the heater coil to burn out or the control not to work.
If you start at 22:46, you could segue in the opening line that Curtis uses. Up to that point, the customer A.K.A. Curtis, is taking things apart before bringing them in for repair. Would say those cylinders were knackered but you guessed that during the intro to the machine. Now we get to watch Curtis make another satisfied customer. "I'm really happy with that!"
Watching you pull the pin at 14 minute mark and I was like.... "What a GENIUS"
Well, Andrew is the perfect new owner of that crane. The cost for somebody to get a shop to put that crane right would be more than the crane cost.
Mate I’ve how through you are with your tool shop toys,you are by far one of the best engineers I’ve come across,you keep your work place clean and safe the fact you do all your own work,is f@$&king brilliant,love how you have respect for all your machines,I appreciate your dedication to Aussie nd English built machines Made me smile,not knocking the other countries fine machines either,as they can be ok…. Keep up the great work and thanks Curtis,Karen and homeless ❤❤❤❤❤
Guys the shop is coming together, I personally would source an overhead gantry crane to support those machines. An overhead gantry is one of the best things I put in my place. A pricey piece, but worth it in the long haul. Also, the Australian Armor Museum seems as if they can occasionally use big machines like you now have, it would be pretty cool seeing some WW2 tank stuff roll through your shop.
To clarify, I mean a overhead crane that can support the entire shop with an adequate working load and more than one lifting hook
He has a overhead crane, he uses it often in videos.
@@65cj55 I don't think that crane can reach the entire working space of the shop, and the one he uses must have a low limit otherwise he wouldn't need to use the forklift as much.
That would be pretty cool to see him take on some tank part repairs
@@sshep7119 The Forklift is a lot quicker and easier..
@@65cj55 I am going to have to disagree with that. When the layout permits it that's one thing, but as machines get placed and the maneuver room is reduced a forklift becomes a nightmare. When it comes to picking and placing from machines the gantry is the best thing. In my experience at least.
Gotta love the Homie cam! The little guy has the world by the tail.
Love seeing you label/mark everything up. The guys I work with say, they have never seen anyone like me, mark and bag stuff up, so I know where it all goes when I put things back together. Keep up the fantastic work. Looking forward to pt2.
man i agree, you have to mark and bag stuff or it gets lost.
G'day Kurtis, Karen and camera man Homey. Great video and I am amazed Carl Franny could lift still.
Carl Franny 😂😂😂
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering It is Carl Franny because we all know Carl does all the heavy lifting around the shop 😂😂😂😂
That looked like an amazing amount of work Kurtis...wow!
This is going to be a big project for sure.
Can't wait for the next video.
I KNEW I recognized that specific coloration and clouding of the hydraulic oil, that's just the stuff we're pumping!
Although, usually the water gives us problems with all of the servo valves, so it usually only stays that color for a week or two.
And we've never had a cylinder get THIS bad. Even the ones that are drenched in impregnation solution, that absolutely wrecks machine parts, their entire lifetime. That's some impressive stuff.
All I can say is the right person bought that crane!
Restoring and fixing this crane will be wonderful mate.
Well that was a nightmare but at least when it’s done you will have a unit that will last more many years, looking forward to part 2 ☺️
The 'yellow peril' to the rescue again. You're going to miss that when it's gone! HomeyCam is a real hoot!
Find stuff like this fascinating. I think of myself as a pretty hands on practical guy, but to see the level of effort and bravery you are willing to put into stuff Is great. Massive fan of the “if it’s broken, I’ll fix it” mentality. Even more so in the modern throw away culture
Might be a good idea to keep the old crane mate until you have the new one 100% Bug free I'm glad you got the problem sorted out it starts better
Karen's been trying to convince me to keep the old yard crane for good 🤣 but yeah we'll definitely be keeping it until all the repairs on this one are completed 👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering I guess it never hurts to have a spare in case something ever happens you've done a lot of work to that old crane maybe it might be a good idea to listen to Karen and just keep it you know what it's like Curtis if you go out and you sell it and then something goes wrong and you need it you were going to be cursing yourself for selling it
@@noelhenderson8095 I think he needs to bling out the old yard crane. Dress it up like a fancy bus in various countries, a la Top Gear 😅
@@LadyAnuB I think the first thing that he would need to do if that was the case would be to put a seat that makes him sit a little bit higher you can only see the top of his head when he drives it lol but he has had that instance where he used to cranes to get the machine off and there is nothing saying that with what the future will hold he may need two cranes to do something else I guess you can look at it this way as well if he kept both he could use the old one for the light work and the big one for the heavy work but a nice paint job would make the old crane look really nice
Previous guy probably didn't have a big enough spanner either which is why the cylinder gland nut was just hand-tight.
Oh man now we got a safety inspector camera,love it.
You definitely have a project, it will be a great crane that should provide years of trouble free service. I really like the camera on the back of the Safety Officer. Thanks for the Videos, looking forward to more.
I'm not sure, but from the looks of it, I think those cylinders are original and have never been replaced or repaired ever. Well done Kurtis, looking forward to the rebuild. You guys make a great team 💯👍. Cheers Blessings, have a Great Weekend.
Best part of the week
So true… I woke up at midnight to use the can and found this up for little more then two minutes. How odd that I’m this channels soul mate
Thank you for watching!
i like the very casual "I don't know were mine is" line 😂
I love the doggy cam view!
Safety officer on patrol!
I've been looking foward to this video... I wish we could get these cranes in the UK.
Keep up the great work guys 💪😎👍
I forgot to comment on it, but the trade show video was awesome 👍
thanks for your support mate!
The Crane is going to benefit big-time"CEE" repairs and upgrades 👌👍.
Brilliant design of the cylinder end cap spanner, very clever
Nice bit of outdoor fresh air.
Great video as always both, thanks for sharing.
The term can of worms springs to mind! 😂 The old girl won't know what hit her!
For someone who has literally zero mechanical knowledge this stuff is really interesting. And I loved Canine Cam too haha
Good start to my Friday morning with a uplifting video from you guys. Hope everyone will have a wonderful weekend.
Loved your spanner, what a bloody good idea😊
I see your "Safety Officer" checked out the work area!
Hello from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania USA!
Oh, a boom cylinder rebuild, I feel like I'm watching Farmcraft 101 =) Can never have enough cylinder rebuilds!
Really feel for you on this. It is disheartening when a simple project snowballs into more, esp when more translates to cost.
That said, you guys are one of very few channels who say, "you'll have to wait for part 2" and your viewers are happy. :D
Looking forward to it. Cheers
Should reach out to The Skid Factory regarding a wiring harness, those guys are geniuses at doing wire harnesses
might be an idea 👍
I was thinking Dave from Haltech but I think Al (Turbo Yoda) is in Queensland
@@LadyAnuB He is
Thank the lord you are skilled in doing this kind of work. Anyone else buying this crane would go bankrupt getting it back to excellent order.
Every project that starts off as "affordable" turns into a can of worms if you actually start digging deep.
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
I had to wait for the "bloopers" to find out in what condition the cylinders really was. 🙂😞. Good luck with the rest of the PROJECT. And thanks to you (both) for the effort in producing the videos.
Lovin the videos!!! They're appreciated, my spine is fusing and I'm stuck at the keyboard most of the time, so it's nice to have a lil window into your world :) thanks again!!
that super small come-a-long was adorable lol
I do love the Homie cam! It gives a real view of how tough little guy like him, powers his way through life.... In a clockwise powerful screw motion. 😅
