  • 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.

    Sorry it's another 2 part video 🙈 We're not big fans of videos broken up into parts but with bigger jobs like this (and while we have so much other work on) it's keeping our stress levels down and giving us some extra time to get video & editing done 😅 Hope you can understand and still enjoy the video! 😎👍

      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

      @@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.

    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.

    I suspect I got introduced to this channel because I watch IC Weld's videos a lot. Really loving the similar mixture of quirkiness, professionalism, exceptional skill, well-placed jokes and fixing up of a lot of heavy machinery.
    Don't sweat the two-parters, it's good to give these topics the space they require, plus I'm already astounded at how much effort the two of you are putting into making Kurtis look at his best, as evidenced by the outtakes at the end. And I agree that Kurtis is more obsessed with making sure his hat is aligned properly than us in the audience would care :)

    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 😀

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.

    When I worked at a drive shaft shop we use a jig to hold the welding gun in position. We used a foot pedal that was wired into the gun. Looks like something you could make and use to make life easier.

    Karen you are amazing. Your shots of what’s happening is absolutely fantastic. The slow speed footage is by far my favorite. How the cut off material rolls and flows is so cool to watch.
    I’ve been a viewer for quite a while but this is the first time I’ve seen the clock. A great idea!! Hope to see more in the future.
    Your supporting cast member and his dedication to perfection and working well into the 0 dark thirty time is what keeps customers returning time after time. When he is working on a job someone is losing big dollars per hour on that machine downtime so getting that job finished and back to the customer as quickly as possible is extremely important. So that is why we see darkness out the door on some videos.
    Keep up the great team work. Thanks again
