Repair DAMAGED Hydraulic Cylinder for CAT 16H Motor Grader | Machining & Welding
This video is a job we did to repair a damaged hydraulic cylinder for a Caterpillar 16H Motor Grader articulating cylinder. The piston, bolt and nut are stuck inside the cylinder barrel and caused a bit of damage to the cylinder barrel and rod, so we need to replace the barrel and repair the threads on the rod. First we cut off the oil port on the cylinder barrel, then set up in our lathe and machine off the weld to remove the barrel end. We then make the new barrel which includes drilling the oil port, machining for weld prep, cutting an internal thread and welding the oil port and end cap on to the barrel. We finish off the repair by hand tapping the internal thread on the cylinder rod.
In this video we are using:
- BM-63VE Milling machine
- TM-26120G Centre Lathe
- WIA 500i Weldmatic welder

Waiting for the video where you machine a dog toy out of some chewable material.
Hey mate unfortunately we got KZhead review for "extreme profanity" so we've removed it and will make some changes and reupload in the future
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering 🤬🤣🤣🤣
You should do a shop tour
"Extreme profanity"??? Say what??? KZhead has fallen severely down the toilet if it can't handle a few "adult" words. Sheesh. LOL
The camera work on this channel is through the roof!!!
Thank you 😊
"A 19mil hole, or 3/4 of a banana". :D Ah yes, finally - banana for scale.
Oh yes The Standard Banana is a most accurate form of measuring 🤣👍🍌🍌🍌
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Ah yes the decimal use of a fraction measurement can only be the most accurate form of measurement! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 only the yanks could think it was a good idea! 😂😂😂
Bet ya can't bend an inch though
And the banana is kind of 1 inch thick so I agree with Kurtis it is banana not a pinch😂😂
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering but 19mm is only .107 bananas. Or at least according to the bananas for scale calculator. bananaforscale.info/#!/convert/length/19/millimeters/bananas
Your security officer also impresses me with the tolerance he has with you working on so many Cats in your shop...
😂 we distract him with toys
Dismembered cats…. Being reassembled….
no way you wrote that. show yourself out
@@BuckingHorse-Bull no one writes anything when online...
Spit out My Beer just Now !! LMFAO !!!
The simplicity of how to find the center of that tube is so humiliating well done!
It’s 2am in Texas I have a meeting at 7am n should sleep But it’s day time In the other hemisphere’s Texas so I’m going to watch this 30 min video on something I’ll never do in my life
Sleeping is overrated anyway!
Mate you've got your priorities in order there 🤣👍👍👍 enjoy the vid
I see no problem with this plan.
@@jcraigshelton Not at all. In fact I would say that it is keeping him well grounded in the important things in life like hydraulic cylinders!
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering HA HA! That's funny.
I love to see someone appreciate a gift. Seeing the pup take his directly to his bed was priceless.
Haha "I love this toy, it is my toy and I will take it to my bed so all know it is mine" 😂🐾🐾
That was cool!!
I really like the fact that you show us on the equipment where the part originated from.
I've learned so many Aussie terms and vernacular listening to you and reading the comments. It's like a whole other language...
😅😅😅
Friday? Check. Maccas? Check. Kids in bed? Check. Time to relax with my favorite Machinist.
Hahaaa good stuff mate that's one way to really enjoy it. Have a good weekend 😎👍
i dont know if Carl missus would like you relaxing having few beers with Carl
I'm living on the other side of Earth so I start a friday with CEE and the best Machinist 🤣
Cheers from US. 7:30am Fri ✌
McDonald’s, ah Australia 🇦🇺 also known as Maccas
"3/4 of a banana" - you're killing my sides!
Banana measurement helps our USA viewers
Do we assume that there's exactly 12 bananas in a 'bunch'? 3 'bunches' in a 'branch', and 1760 branches is a 'plantation'?
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering If the US had completed metrication started in the 70s people would speak the same and wonder why in hell it didn't happen 100 years ago ! The net result is confusion, errors and lack of competitiveness ! Recently has to laugh at Home Depot listening to two people trying to figure out the total pipe length they had to buy, trying to add feet inch fraction etc....
@@clitisswood7330 Homedepot = rank amateurs, they can't handle 1960mm either. I work in both systems daily and have for 35 years, I could care less, both systems are dirt simple. My only gripe with the Metric system is the thread selection for fasteners below M20 is shit. The coarse series are too fine and suck horribly in cast.
@@trevorvanbremen4718 It depends on whether it's a US or imperial banana.😂
Great build bro. The bludgeon the cylinder was a wow.. you seem to see in your mind the whole plan and that’s is the way.. I enjoy the humor out takes at the end and the do gie.. ha we raise dogs that are service dogs.. we keep them for one years and teach much and then we give them back and the dogs go to college to learn more important tasks.. In the end a very needy person receives the dog for free to help them live their life.. The foundation is called dogs for better lives.. based in southern Oregon.. Your dog seems well trained and is a sweet boy.. ☺️👍
Don know what it is, but your videos are therapeutic to me. Just watching someone turn junk into serviceable and within spec pieces is relaxing to me.
Glad you're enjoying the vids mate 😎👍
😂 Mrs CEE dropped the F bomb, I wonder who she gets that from haha. 10/10
No comment 😂😂😂
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering lol 😂 😂
I watched that whole thing and missed it. What’s the time stamp?
I heard it.. and nearly spat a beer across the table 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@FishFind3000 27:42 she cut herself short hahaaa
This is an industry a world apart from me and our paths will likely never cross, but there is something strangely satisfying about watching these video’s. It’s like watching an artist paint something you have never seen before.
Hey mate what a great comment thanks for watching and supporting!
Fucking Right you are!! He would put a shit ton of U.S. machinists to shame.
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Professional Headchef of a restaurant here. 100% agree with that comment :)
@Quinton Dolan It’s not WebObjects, but it _is_ awesome!
Program manager… I love watching these videos! Completely addicted! I’ve always wanted to learn to weld 😎
Thank you, Curtis for taking us along with your project, and sharing your talents and work experiences with us as well. Richard from Bananaville, Arizona
Thread cutting on a lathe still seems like a dark art to me. I'm astonished how easy you make everything look.
Its easier than it looks. His lathe looks like it has auto shut off at the end of the thread so that makes that bit easier, normally you'd have to be pretty quick on the stop button or lever, digital readouts also make life easier, I've done a little bit of threadcutting on a lathe, good skill to learn. We did 95% of our work on the CNC lathe though, that shit was beyond me, CNC computers confuse the shit out of me
once you get the hang of it its not too hard. Basically, you using some method to connect the spindle to the movement of the caridge, for example in this video he cut a 12TPI thread so for every one turn of the spindle of the lathe, the threading system on the lathe moves the caridge 1/12 of an inch. You use a form tool to get the right thread shape
I’m amazed at what CNC can do. I’m even more amazed at how ridiculously complicated the software is. It’s a computer FFS - software should not make jobs more complicated than they already are.
Here I am sitting in upcountry Thailand having a icy cold beer thinking how much I miss this shit and also how much I don't. Retirement is what it is.
Enjoy your retirement mate, now doubt well deserved if you were in the industry!
The dog growls like a cat when it purrs....😂😂 The sound of the dog is hilarious.
He's a grunter! 😂
Always LOVE the 1st shot of Homeless scootin across the grass, and any interactions... Little piggie noises of happiness... P.S. you guyz are amazing too😅😅😅😅😅😅 Bronx Love guyz 😎
Your dog puts a smile on my face every time.
Had to laugh at the "jingling" from that washer inside the barrel. It's truly a pleasure to watch a young master as yourself turn out top notch quality projects. Great video as always, cheers :)
haha that jingling got old real quick. Thanks for watching mate appreciate it!
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Just a quick thought, filling the barrel with liquid paraffin and letting it cool would have killed that noise pretty quick and getting it off any salvageable parts would have been easy.
Just love watching these videos.
Haha I bet that jingling got old quick. I would be wondering if I wrecked the tool the whole time
Getting off work from night shift and seeing a new CEE video makes the beer taste better.
Cheers mate have a good weekend
Gosh ya know some times I just can't wait until Friday. So I'll come back and watch these again.
the highlight of your video is the dog, love your dog.
He gets all the viewers haha
Well goodmorning, to start the day with some coffee and a CEE video on a friday, we'll nothing beats that!
Morning mate or good evening here 🤣 enjoy and have a good Friday 😎👍
hERE IT'S 4.30 PM ON THE fRIDAY AFTERNOON , SITTING BACK CRACKING AN ICE COLD BEER AND AND WATCHING THIS BRILLIANT SERIES AND I FORGOT THE CAPS LOCK, BEER IS WORKING WELL
@@dashaB-sl4pu In Sweden we are 8hours late on the clock from Sydney. But soon there will be beer for me aswell. 👌🍻
@@Holli622 Cheers from me my friend and have one for me while you enjoy this video, cheers from OZ
the sound of the lathe (i'm guessing it's the lathe) starting up in the beginning of the video has become one of my favorite things recently
Yeah mate that's the sound of our main lathe starting up
Never have I seen a bead of weld laid by hand than the one you did. You have talents bordering on Godly!
Love watching your videos so much. I think the camera lady needs a raise!!!
She agrees 😂 and does the payroll so will probably do just that haha
Hold me beer ... It's my Friday start video...... Solid gold mate!
🤣👍 cheers mate
The thing I like most about your channel is you explain what's needed then get to the machining. Other channels go into such excruciating detail about how they go about setting up a job, clamping it down, dialing it in, why this will work & why that won't, etc. Which is fine if that's what the viewer is into, however, I'm not a machinist and never will be but I'm always curious as to how a technical machining job is accomplished, which you do to perfection. Thanks!
Know why I love your videos, Curtis? Because you, your missus and the happy chunk of muscle get to work together! When dog opens the mail so delicately, I love it!
Can’t stop admiring your welding skills.
Thanks for watching
I pretend to find how shit my welds look funny but really I'm embarrassed by them. Looks like Michael Fox did it with the torch stuck up his arse by comparison.
A cold beer, a new Video from CEE and a steak on the grill. Damn I'm in heaven right now!
@from the dark side of the moon Around 10°C here in Germany. Its never too cold for a beer and a barbecue 😂😎
@@flippah9101 Sweet Jesus Flippah. With an attitude like that are you sure that you're not an Aussie?
@@markfryer9880 Considering the fact that my favorite curses are fuck and cunt. I don't know, I think I'm an Aussie in a German body. xD
@from the dark side of the moon Its never too cold to grill or run a smoker dude. I've dug my grills and smoker out of 2 to 5 feet of snow and had ribs, brisket, steak, or anything off a grill and even done it for New Years parties with friends. Winter clothes and learning to control temp is key but beyond that fuck it, no amount of white bullshits gonna stop me from enjoying a steak. I have grown up in both the PNW and also Southern US, its all season weather to run your grill if you prepare and plan accordingly. My parents are from Massachusetts so there is no such thing as too much snow and too cold to run a grill, As my parents said "we bought you heavy clothes for a reason, go put them fuckers on and learn how to cook in all weather." Who fucken says you can't put it on for half hour or so and cook a nice ass grilled piece of meat. It all comes with learning when to give fucks and when to not give a fuck.
Woke up to this video, it’s a great start today boys! (And girls, and non-binaries)
😂👍
Love the giggle when the barrel starts to turn and the rattling starts! Always hilarious when you get to make money and have fun! :-)
Good times! But got to be honest that rattle got annoying pretty quickly haha
I'm 71..........my Dad was a machinist, and somehow, watching your craftsmanship is soothing to watch.
I recently have ran across your channel, and all I can say is I have a lot of respect for you, your wife and the dog🐶 , and I love your channel a lot!!! Daniel From Las Vegas, Nv
Hey Danny thanks very much mate we appreciate it!
Oh how i love Friday afternoons, get home sit on the porch crack a coldie, watch you guys and Nugget Garage. 2 most entertaining and realistic channels on the KZheads
Awesome mate that's the way!
I like how it felt like the forklift was about to drive across the country to deliver that part to the customer. The outtakes at the end of the video are hilarious.
I love a shop tour with this dude, driving him crazy asking questions about lathe bits and tools 😆
Hahaa please don't visit us 😂😂😂
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Your safe I'm in Maine USA haha
You’re a demon with that cut-off wheel - what a neat job! 👍🏻😀
I've just noticed how I enjoy the simple sounds of what you do.Well done for not adding a load of extra 'noise'.
Glad you enjoy it!
Thank you once again, nothing puts my 2yo girl to sleep better than your videos.
top notch engineer, thanks for the extra work filming...
the day when this channel becomes appropriately rated has yet to occur.
Wow all done in a 29 minute video. Abom or fenner would turn this into a ten part series. Each episode an hour long. Keep up the good work kurtis. 👍🇳🇿
I’m a big fan of hard work, I can watch it all day
The sound of the laid cutting is hypnotic.
I just love this channel. Attitude, expertise, work ethic.........the entire operation. I have nothing but respect for the entire crew. Thank you.
Hey Larry appreciate it mate thanks!
Yea, but that safety officer is under paid.
26:57 if anyone was wondering what a super happy dog purr sounds like
I miss cutting/welding/making... You two (and dog) are cute!
I'm hooked on your video's. When I first found this channel I thought it was boring beyond words. But then I thought about you including that beautiful wonderful dog in your videos. I decided to give it a chance and after the third video I decided that you are a genius. A national treasure. It's not hard to say that you are a LOT smarter than you look. Keep up the good work, my new friend.
Kurtis I’m leaving the US and coming to work for you. No pay needed, just let me pet the doggo and tolerate my terribly done Aussie impersonations.
He makes it look easy, but, skills don't come easy, or fast.
got room in your luggage for me?
You'd probably end up being a liability.....as would I
I just wanna run the vertical hone …. That’s one impressive machine.
You know the parts are expensive when they're willing to pay someone else to go through all this to make the old one re-serviceable.
Either expensive or will take too long to get the replacement part. Sometimes both of those is a major showstopper. Oh there is a third, which is where the part is no longer available for whatever reason.
CATs are yellow because it is the colour of gold.
Love seeing the safety officer running into work. Or for treats or belly rubs whaterver...
I bet You make a lot of companys Happy !!
They make it look so easy. I’m almost lulled into thinking I could do this............... then I’m jolted back into reality when I realize there are a million details involved in something like this. I’ll stick to watching the videos. 😎
thanks for watching mate haha glad you enjoy it
Time and practice. Or practically!, on the job work.
Watched dozens of your videos now and watching your Safety Officer dragging people around on office chairs has me thinking he might not be as qualified as I first thought… 😂
We might need him to do a refresher course! 😂👍
But who is going to tell him? He might get mad and take it out on you.
@@Bill_N_ATX Silly, you don't tell them that they are going on three days of PD, untill the night before.
Hello from Decatur, Illinois. Home of the Caterpillar WTS lines and formerly the 16H. It's great fun watching your channel, you do great work. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Brilliant Video - watched it all - Like your Staffy - God be with you in your fight for freedom ! Nottingham U.K.
As a retired weldor, that rotator looks mighty nice! I have many times wished for one.
Wish more channels did the outtakes at the end like you guys do. Great content.
Thanks mate glad you enjoy it
I'm no machinist and i know shit all about it, but I really enjoy watching you work. Well done bro!
The safety officer is awesome
I love how the safety officer sounds like my Impreza at idle
😂😂😂
The Power of fluid is quite amazing 👀
I know right it can create a baby! Haha
@@stephenthompson9722 that is an absolutely brilliant reply! I don't think it can be topped.
Thanks for all you do. Love watching your work. Include the misses in your videos and more dog please and thank you.
The outtakes and the dog are the best part of course. Thanks.
Glad you enjoy it mate 😎👍
I thought you were going to tell us that the cylinder was full of spiders. I'm glad that it wasn't full of spiders. Excellent video, thank you for all the cool content you guys supply!
I'm also glad it wasn't full of spiders haha thanks for watching mate
I cleaned out an oil bath air filter on an old Cat D5 recently. It WAS full of spiders. The fact that they were dead - drowned in oil - didn't make it much better really.
Huh. I never even knew that graders articulate like that. Learn something every day :)
Only the really big ones do that apparently. Graders have some really funky means of articulation, and some have more options than others.
spent 35 years painting cars,,,wish i would havem the oppertunity to do what you do its amazing
you know that happy puppy tail wagging put some huge smiles on the faces of the couple who sent that toy.
Watching 4 of your videos at the same time. I'm going to trade school to be a toolmaker, but it was machining that started me in the trade. I appreciate your large lathes and the unique setups like turning between two lathe chucks. I also appreciate the Mrs. excellent camera work. Keep up the good work my friends!
I've been watching this channel for awhile now. I am totally into what you do. It's amazing that you are a jack of all trades. You are really a pleasure to watch your machining and informational talks of the use of the devices that you repair.
Hey mate thanks for supporting the vids we appreciate it! Cheers 😎👍

Your Safety Officer is adorable, probably my favourite type of dog (Don't tell our Cairn, love him too lol) and so often misunderstood. With the right upbringing I say even a Dingo or a Hyena could be as loving as a staffie or "pit". Makes me smile so much seeing a doggo happy and in their element (bull breeds suit engineering type environments super well too IMO, they're tough enough to brush off the odd mistake & clever enough to learn from others not to make mistakes too plus they seem to take a genuine interest in what the pack leader is up to. Safety Officer is an ideal post!)
Good job again Kurtis, Caterpillar using metric threads, advancing with the times! The belt sander saved you setting up the eye in the lathe, handy tools.
This helped pass the time being stuck in traffic 👍🏻👍🏻
I know this is old hat Kurtis but I have to reiterate, how the heck do you just know what to do especially when a completely new and DIFFERENT problem arrives on your door step, I have to say I partially watch your channel so much first to see the problem and then to just see you well just fix it. It's just wonderful to see your knowledge and skill in this regard.
Hello from Texas. Glad to meet the giggler. So love all that ya'll do.
Kurtis, I never tire of watching your videos. Content is always great, camera is spot-on and the safety officer is a hoot! Keep up the good work!
6:42 "thats not a knife" moment haha
The out takes are worth every minute
I generally don't know shite about machining, welding or metal work. I think I do know what excellence, competence and expertise looks like though. Love the content and the video quality, keep up the great work !!
Hey mate thanks for the comment appreciate it! Cheers, Kurtis 😎👍
You always make these repairs look so easy! Bravo!
Cheers! Thanks for watching
Nice videos you do and good work!👍 Nice to watch. Scratches for the dog!❤️🐶

Love the channel. Great to see your safety officer too, Staffies are wonderful dogs
Часто дивлюся ваші відео перед сном, з одного боку цікаво, а з іншого - робота токарного станку доволі монотонна і гіпнотична і допомагає заспокоїтись і заснути)))) Вчора наснилося що я допомагав вам розбирати якийсь робочий циліндр від важкої машини))) Дякую за відео, як завжди дуже цікаво)
Привіт товаришу, дякую за перегляд відео. Радий, що ви можете ними насолоджуватися. А тепер ти дивишся на роботу, коли мрієш, це неймовірно ха-ха Вітайте, Куртіс
How that huge bolt went inside miraculous things. I never ever see in my career
The bolt holds the piston to the piston rod so it was always inside the cylinder. It just came lose and made a mess out of the piston when they tried closing it.
Another one bites the dust. Love watching you work. You're living the DREAM my friend. Shop and plenty to do, trusted safety officer, and best of all, you get to spend time with the camera Sheela. :) Your channel is great. Thanks for letting us share your time, and a peak into your life. Stay safe and have a great week.
Hey John thanks for commenting mate it's great to know our viewers enjoy the vids! Cheers 😎👍
Growing up everyone was so afraid of our shop dogs Hooker and Hashbrown but all I remember is them being so loving and Hash would bark at me if I climbed up on any of the equipment or climbed over the back fence. She was always telling on me! But sooo sweet. Unless you are a coyote, cat. Then she was not so nice.
Every time that dog shows up, I'm thinking he's perfect for that chunky shop with all the big boy tools.
6:15 "Oh, look! There's a prize inside this one!" Kinder Eggs for machinists.
Ah finally here we go. My weekly dose of honest work. My missus just brought me fresh coffee, now I can enjoy this. Have a nice weekend everybody! So the piston fell off... this reminds on something (front fell off)
Good stuff mate! Got your email reply too cheers 😎👍
I don't understand most of what you are doing, but it's fascinating to watch. But the best part is Homeless. He keeps me coming back and watching all the way to the end.
