We’re about to inject some fresh steel into this cylinder barrel off a massive D11T bulldozer! This isn't your average DIY project. This cylinder barrel is part of a key hydraulic component off a Caterpillar D11T bulldozer blade, responsible for tilting the heavy chunk of blade forward and backwards and also tilting the blade left and right. Watch the power of machining as we disassemble the old damaged barrel before transforming a plain steel tube into the perfect new barrel courtesy of our trusty lathe. Then with the help of a trusty welding torch and a steady hand we’ll weld the new barrel to the cylinder head flange before using our Sunnen horizontal honing machine to hone the new barrel to precision spec. We continue the job by fitting, aligning and tacking the barrel end to the newly honed barrel before some more flawless welding to complete the repair!
In this video we are using:
- Hafco TM-26120G Centre Lathe
- WIA 500i Weldmatic welder
- Sunnen HTA-4100 Horizontal hone

  • A diesel fired pile driver . One of the main reasons I quit operating equipment and bought my Peterbilt Mobil mechanic welder fabricator truck years ago about 30 to be exact . That was the most monotonous job. I would run one of those when we would get rain and it would be to muddy for grading . It was all the same operating engineers union so that didn’t change me still making the big bucks . Working and maintaining a 40 and 50 piece spread of dozers ,scrapers and compactors,651 water pulls and blades has been a way more rewarding and challenging job that I love . I retired once but they talked me into coming back 3 times now to totally rebuild from front to back a D11 and two 10N cat dozers ,so I guess I’m never going to get bored at 65 years old . 😎

  • I was watching your past videos and remember a friend who called me in to disconnect a very large flat planing machine. I got there and there was a very heated conversation with my friends father who still had an interest in the business. My fiend was going to put the unit in the outside yard and see if he could sell it off. It was a monster and seldom used. Effectively there was an impasse between father and son. I disconnected it and it was moved to a corner of the workshop and junk pilled up on it over 2 years. One day I got a call to reconnect it and make sure it worked. The long and the short of it was that machine was used 24 hours a day for the next 60 days and contributed to a 60% increase in the workshops yearly profit. It appears the couple of machine in other shops had been removed recently so he had a market edge, he thanked his Dad

So many places would just go the cheapist way out even if it would cost them in the long run. You are saving them a fortune since you can rebuild to spec vs the cost of OEm and hte months it would take to get one. Time is money for everyone.

  • I was, or am a Master woodworker, for over 55 years But I absolutely love watching a master of their trade doing whatever it is they do! It is like more than just work, a Master loves what they do and make it look like a performance of ballet ! In every trade there are certain things that have to be done and an order for those things to be done, and when you know exactly what to do and when to do it, it's amazing how much can be accomplished and how magical it can seem! THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR MAGIC! I think it is time your wife should be more involved in the videos, not just being the one that films,edits, ALL the other things that shows your MAGIC, But even in VAUDEVILLE, the assistant was promoted as part of the team, and got some of the spotlight! It is fabulous to see how your business has grown in the past few years, THANKS FOR GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY TO WATCH THE MONUMENTAL FEAT! AND TO SEE THE MOST IMPORTANT MEMBER OF THE STAFF THE ONE WITH THE GREEN JACKET! AND HOW HE IS INVOLVED IN EVERY ASPECT AND OPERATION OF THE SHOP! TRULY THE REASON FOR THE SUCCESSES!

  • Greetings from Tokyo and thanks for the upload....always give a “thumbs-up” before the video begins. Kurtis gave a super step-by-step narration of the entire rebuild process. Karen’s detailed/ closeup video shots continuously captures and compliments the precise, meticulous process from start to finish. This video would definitely qualify as a great teaching aid for up-and-coming machinists. Congratulations on a job well done. Cheers!

  • Watching you centre up this job brought back happy memories. We had a lathe in the garage at home and my Dad taught me how to centre up without a scribe block or dial test indicator. It had a taper turning attachment and we used it to sharpen pencils! You have to adjust the speeds and feeds because of the type of wood and the graphite. Not to mention, the tool has to be properly profiled. I learned a lot when I was 10! Don't scream child labour at me, as I loved every minute of it. And that was some 60years ago...
