  • We've got the damaged hydraulic cylinder disassembled now it's time to make the new barrel! This video is Part 2 of rebuilding a stick (dipper arm) cylinder off a Hitachi ZX470 excavator. In this video we show the complete process of making a new cylinder barrel including machining apart the old barrel before machining and welding together the new barrel. We also show fitting on the head flange using an interference fit, pressing out the old bushings with our 150T hydraulic press and honing out the heat affected zone in the new barrel! Stay tuned for the next video of this cylinder rebuild where we make the new piston and reassemble the cylinder!

    My dad was a carpenter for 45 years before he retired and his shop had sparrows that would roost there in spring. They built nest and along a wall in the back of the shop and every year they would raise a new clutch of young. My dad cut a hole on the door for them to fly in and in and out of, and they would zip in and out all day bringing in food for their babies.
    I only remembered that when I saw him feeding those birds. Good childhood memory, thanks buddy.

    I definitely like the way you work Curtis. I'm sure you're plenty strong enough to lift a lot of those parts but you're smart enough to use the crane and the forklift. I was a mason for 20+ years. I've done more than my share of heavy lifting over the years. Now that I'm older my back is paying a heavy price for all the hard work. Trust me my friend your back will thank you when you're older. You young guys can learn a lot from Curtis so pay attention.👍🏻

    Kurt, I am very impressed with the variation in thickness of the barrels walls. When you make the cut on the lathe, we can see that the eccentricity is absurd. I notice how your welding (done manually) is much superior to original welds of these barrels, which are done through automated processes. Your welding is very well distributed, with constant thickness. Congratulations on your skill. Greetings from Brazil.

    Kurtis "Button Insert" Allen is back in action! I love it when the button comes out cuz we are about to get some meaty freehand turning. That and some amazing welding. Watching you run the lathe is just too much fun.

      Yeah, those buttons seem to cut really well, depth & speed & finish, so still surprised that it isn't used more, much more, for all facing & turning, even boring and not just hogging out those welds! An to top it off, it ain't got just 3 tips, not a infinite number all the way around but way more then 3!

    Good job, glad to see the birds still around, my wife and I live on the side of a mountain in a forest. We have so many birds around which we feed even got birds which sing through the night too. The honing machine is awesome and must be very handy not having to send work out. Sometimes the weld prep took longer than the welding, but we always made sure it was done right. Great post. Thanks Kurtis, Karen and of course Homey 👍

    I suggest some time in a future video you might mention your big lathe's leadscrew/feed shaft support.

    Thanks to Karen for her great video recording n editing skills, especially the bloopers lol + big thanks for Homie doing his usual duties around the workshop n opening his surprise toys, and as always a pleasure watching someone like Curtis who takes great pride in his machining and welding. As I have said once before being a boilermaker/welder once upon a time myself I can honestly say that Curtis is on par with his welding skills as I used to be, as I used to take pride in all my work n loved to do the odd bit of lathe work. My favorite welding was Aluminum + Stainless Tig + heavy plate stick n mig welding. Watching these videos puts me in calm tranquil place lol. Almost forgot to add love the birds in the vids also.

    By the way back in the 80’s the barrel was larger but we gave a Chinese guy a rag and said in you go.
