    I really enjoy the channel Jeff. As a former heavy equipment mechanic who moved into the sales side of equipment, trucks, cranes etc, I still learn something from your videos on frequent occasions. Between you, Cutting Edge Engineering, Adept Ape, and Warren from Western Truck and Tractor Repair there is a wealth of information out there. Of course, Frank from Digginok is no doubt the best backhoe operator on the planet, and if Warren from Western can't fix something, it pretty much can't be fixed. Glad you made so many friends and suppliers from your channel. UA-cam for all it's faults can be a good community. I like your channel, it's your equipment, your time going into the repairs and you do things right since you obviously know it will be you doing it again if it's not done right... Looking forward to see that Galion doing it's job and help you with the D9 work to come...

    Jeff, on your cables, they are referred to as a push pull cable or a Morris control cable also referred to his boat control cables, there is a cable inside that’s got a plastic liner around the cable. If the cable moves freely back-and-forth then usually there’s nothing wrong with the cable, I have had hundreds of these cables made by Broadway splicing, in Spokane Washington, there are many different variations to the ends, I usually draw a picture of each end and give them cable travel, and the overall length , and any other lengths that I can supply them, the price you quoted in the video from the one outfit you were talking about sounds very reasonable, but I would absolutely not give anybody a picture of my credit card, if they can’t take the numbers over the phone, don’t do it ,also never use a debit card over the phone because debit cards don’t have the same protection that a credit card has.

    Been a heavy truck tech since 88 and been in the same shop 4 the past 20 years was the young guy when I started now I’m the grumpy old guy my go to tool and advice to the kids is get ur self a really good air hammer and a good assortment of bits 😂really admire ur persistence of clean that’s a lost art among the young generation

    I always had a lot of success by doing the following. Tighten up your chain wrench with a little 1/2 ton com-a-long, then take your two or four pound hammer all around the nut. It usually comes loose with the shock of the hammer blows!

    Jeff, Loctite makes two primers. Primer T comes in a yellow can and is very fast acting. Primer n comes with green printing on the container and is not as time sensitive. It also accelerates the cure time. Now here is the important part, If you are assembling parts , fasteners or whatever that has no ferrous component, you really should use one of those primers as they have that catalyst that you mentioned that makes the Loctite work. So you either need the primer or one part needs to have some ferrous component, or your results will be spotty at best.
    Loctite also says that a bit of oil will not stop the cure. Most Loctites will break down at temperatures above 350F. There are a few that are good to 400 F. Another great gap filler they make is called QuickMetal. It will not act like Epoxy but it will fill gaps as long as it is contained. Which means you cannot use it like a putty or Taryl's stuff.
    Your sanding the OD of that seal allowed the Loctite to see the ferrous component and then start to cure, which is why it was a good thing to do. Keep up the good work!
    Curly
    PS: You know how to get in touch if needed.

  • @edkeniston4786
    @edkeniston4786 7 місяців тому

    Isn’t it amazing what the harmonic vibrations from a air chisel can do! One use I’ve found effective is clevis pins on a brake chamber, start vibrating it with the air chisel ( not to the point of destroying it) and you’ll get a cloud of rust and the pin will start rotating in the clevis. Those threads will hold fine, they will only see pressure in the retracted position. As many cylinders as you do, you really need to build your own cylinder bench. I use the word bench loosely. I built a holding fixture out of a old man lift boom, works great. Adjustable to any length cylinder, only takes up 8’x16’ of yard space, lug it in with the forklift when you need to use it. Thank you for your efforts and the video’s.

    Feel like I just attended a semester of Hydraulics school. Nice video Jeff. The only time I will hit brass with anything is with another piece of brass. I have a few brass punches and a 1” round stock. My inner self wants to deck anyone using a screwdriver for anything but turning screws. If you have to beat on things to assemble them, I’m not working with you. Thanks again. Can’t wait to see the crane work.

    Air hammer work great! The hydraulic lines to a cement mixers drive motor are 1-1/2" and about impossible to remove with a wrench without busting the tubeing nipple that is brazed into the motor. Put a flat point punch in an air hammer and tap on the crown of the wrench flat in the direction you need it to turn . . . It zaps them suckers right loose, then use an adjustable wrench to remove. The first time I saw this I was like "No effing way that worked!" Seen it a thousand times now and it ALLWAYS works no matter how tight and rusted the fitting is.

    I would call that chain turnout chain tongs. Used one a lot in windmill work (pumping water). They can do your head in but when you get them on the right way they work well then you can’t get them off because it is so well gripped on there. .I use a card that normally has nothing on it till I want to buy something over the phone or on the internet. They can’t rip you off for everything in that account that way. Jeff.

    @jeffsnider3588 7 місяців тому

    Used to rebuild the cylinders on Army bridge launchers. The cylinders had threaded heads like yours. We had a large pipe that went over the rod and rod eye, had bolts that screwed into the spanner holes and had a large socket welded to a plate on the opposite end. Used an very large impact wrench on this rig, seems like the impact worked better on rusty threads than smooth torque.

    Jeff, I hope I can give you a little help for the cable need.
    The description of the cable is a Morse Cable. An aftermarket company the makes compatible parts to build them is Wescon. My old leads to have cables like that are running out. The last similar custom cable I had ordered came from a Truckpro store in Oklahoma City. I had been able to get them built out of a sister shop in Odessa TX.

    Heat it and tap all around the thread area with a ball peen hammer to carefully stretch the metal just a fraction.
