This will be a 3 part series on rebuilding 4 Kubota hydraulic cylinders. All 4 of these cylinders are leaking oil, indicating the rod real is bad.In this second episode I receive all of the parts needed including the seals and chrome plated rod stock. We'll machine the two rods and get the eyes welded back onto them.

Adam is a benevolent machinist. Even though he’s on a much deserved vacation he has layed up machining content for us to enjoy while he’s away. Thanks Adam hope you’re having fun.
Putting up videos on KZhead is what pays his bills. When I head off to the factory early as hell in the morning, it is not benevolence that drives me there.
@@the_hate_inside1085 not benevolence, but a car that drives you there...?
@@the_hate_inside1085 I think the point @1911wood is making is: Adam deserves a vacation, he worked overtime during his normal work time to create content for all of us during his absence. The question is do you head out to the factory earlier than you normal "early as hell" before a vacation to make sure the people around you are happy? I certainly do not...Adam strikes me as a guy that loves his followers and wants to continue giving us the content we have come to expect. Naturally, he is feeding the KZhead algorithm and earning money...I imagine if he would have posted nothing this week it would have had very little impact on his income.
@@mattparker6374 I don´t presume to know the motivations of someone I don't know personally. That is why I used my own experience as a baseline. This is the example given if you google benevolent: "(of an organization) serving a charitable rather than a profit-making purpose. "a benevolent fund" " Do you think a proper use of the word is to describe someone engaged in what is their full time payed profession?
@@the_hate_inside1085 Tired of your rhetoric. You got your message across, how about letting the subject drop? Remember, just because someone replies to your comment, you don’t need to “defend” yourself. You two are the only people who give a s*it…
Another quality production where content and video quality have once again been combined for maximum enjoyment by all. Thanks Adam and Abbey.
I'm sure your grandfather would be impressed with your selection of equipment and you current skills !
Now that was beautiful to watch. Covered a lot of ground and the filming was on point the whole time.
No one "Throds" like you Adam...great job as always.
Man, I love that 6 jaw chuck. I don't know if it's just cool or looks like it belongs in a star wars movie, but it just fascinates me to no end. It's badass.
Ahh I had a case of 'throdded red end' once but you can get a cream for that, clears it up in no time.
Love the education and tips you share! I'm over here imagining you meeting Curtis from CEE on a street in New York, with this hydraulic cylinder, and Curtis going, "That's not a hydraulic cylinder... That's a hydraulic cylinder", a he pulls out a cylinder from some huge excavator 😂😂
And they would probably have enjoyed a frosty pint and a good laugh as well. Two of the nicest and most skilled guys on KZhead!
That's not a hydraulic cylinder, that's a hydraulic ram. The cylinder is just the outer casing ! No one in the automotive industry would call an automotive engine a 'cylinder block'. Only the cylinder block is that part.
Man you sir do some very fine work. I'm actually impressed that you stick welded those eyes on instead of mig. Mega skills brother.
Probably the easiest way to get the strongest weld. But I guess flux core wire in the mig can be equaly as strong, depending on wich alloy wire or sticks he has at hand.
I love watching your vids. I'm no machinists but love watching '' how to'' vids on machine work.
Dropped from the roof a couple of times. Now that's my tape! :)
I see "Made in Poland" stamps on the jaws. They've come a long way ✈️
Summary pics with music always pull on my heart strings.
Loved the generational photo at the end. You were easy to pick out lol!
Yes, I love it too. Adam was very lucky to have his dad and granddad around. I never knew my granddads and my dad died when I was 16
I was surprised you.did not cut the eyed off on the lathe but then I realized you like to show us the many different ways you have of doing the same thing.
im only guessing but would he not have still had to mill it smooth as he wouldnt be able to cut it clean on the lathe so therefore less work to cut it on the saw!!
He mentioned it was less likely to break a blade on the chopsaw. 2:55. The chopsaw is best for rough work.
Chop saw is simply much faster and way easier.
Enjoyed the work flow. Thanks for the look.
Very impressive. Both the skill, the finish level and the elegance throughout the process. Always a joy to see your work.
I love seeing how much the bar moves away when you’re doing the heavier cuts while threading on the lathe. Cool to see it up close
Great turn around from CRC, and another interesting job well done, Adam!!👊😊
You sir are very methodical at your skill and workmanship.
Great job Adam. Thanks for providing content while y’all are out vacationing.
Always love watching your videos - the production quality of the video is at least as good as the machining, which means FANTASTIC quality through and through! Thanks!
That weld positioned makes this job go so smooth compared to with out.
Right tooling for the right job. In the real world, you end up welding rusty parts - joining thinner metal to thicker metal and you're lucky it's not raining !
Nice to watch and learn from a experienced professional I don’t have much going on in my garage shop most of the time so watching helps .
I can't wait to have my shop set up like yours.. your setup is great and you've got alot of capabilities now.. great build on these cylinders. Your craftsmanship speaks for itself.
Lots of really great content in this video. I use 1045 TGP all the time to make replacement hinge pins for bank vault doors. I love it when I can fix a door that's hard to open/close and make it smooth.
Nice video! I work at a Hydraulic Repair Shop. Nice to see different ways to accomplish the same goal, making the rod. Next time you do a video like this, can you please leave the welding footage at normal speed? I realise it makes the video longer, but it is so satisfying to watch all that welding.
That was a quality video start to finish. Brought me back to my high school shop class but better. Thanks
00:26:27 -- Excellence at work. I've been watching Adam for years now, and this little gem of using the clamp on the band saw still has me laughing. Excellent videos sir!
I can't tell you thankful you told us about CRC. THANK YOU Adam!
Everything is CRC ! Chemical Rubber Company (Now CRC Press) CRC Industries - whoever they are - have a spray can for everything And now these guys ! Other letters are available !
Its been a while since I’ve been here! I’d forgotten how pro you were on the lathe! Love it!
looks ok 2 mi, nice job adam. thanks for charing this, gr from holland
I've noticed that Kurtis at Cutting Edge Engineering leaves the protective sleeve on the piston shafts, just sliding it back so the chuck jaws aren't trying to bite the sleeve. Then the rest of the shaft remains protected.
CEE makes a lot of rods for construction equipment I think he lives near a mining area.
Your skills makes this look so easy!
Nice job Adam, beautifully done mate!
Beautiful work Adam.
You made my day with that portaband set up. I have exactly the same rig in my little mini shop.
Thanks Adam. Great video.
Machining schools should use your videos as case studies. Peoples that get their machining diploma doesn't have the experience to start decently in this business. They need a lot of practices. Continue your excellent videos Abom79 ;)
Excellent job Adam 👍👍👍
I've always been behind the rod never seen it video like this before you do fantastic work
Brilliant job man love your work
gotta say, you do some really beautiful work
Really looking forward to seeing that DRO being installed.
I love watching you work. I used to be a real machinist. Now I’m just a button pusher (CNC). But the machine I stand in front of is a Bardon’s and Oliver Rod Lathe. I manufacture hydraulic rods and rod bodies all day (night) long. This was refreshing to watch my job being done “professionally” lol I hope to return to manual some day because we all know that there’s “no place like G28 X0 Y0 Z0!”
Play by play teaching makes it interesting!
So adam dad, and I have a massive tool collection together as well. Nothing compared to yours though. We work on his camro often, now we are about to redo his chevelle. Well I have been at it for ever just organizing, then cleaning little by little. Got a MActoolbox rebuilt the rail setup on the inside, fixed the outer shell. Gonna repaint it as well. been filming all this stuff man, took tons of panoramics for my dad everything. he is going blind so I am trying my hardest to get as many memories for him captured as i can. I did all this cause i watch you, I learned how amazing your setups works, and why they do. ty adam :)
Thanks for sharing!
Finally some good old fashioned Abom content
Beautiful work
Thank you Adam love watching your wonderful videos I am from South Africa
This shows how many seemingly little things can destroy the final job eg not smoothing off the edges where the seals go, spatter on the rods etc etc. Nice work.
that new bandsaw is impressive.
Some seriously clean stick welding there boss
This is the level of skill I aspire to come close to one day, amazing as always 🤩
Checkout CEE’s channel the level of skill he has is a entirely different level 😎
Great vacation content.
Another good video. If you want to do repair machining, you'd best learn to do hydraulic cylinders, because you'll be seeing a lot of them. I appreciate that Adam sticks with the measure twice and cut once philosophy. I watch some other channels where they apparently have never heard of doing a scratch pass for threading and it's usually on far larger much more expensive chunks of steel. Just one time catching a mistake would make it worth doing
this little turn of the vice at 4:30 to check if it is tight speaks for the same experiences that blondihacks is so kind to share on her channel. thanks for the videos Adam!
I love my Swag band saw table. Nice to see Adam has one as well...
FYI Adam your audio is still coming through only in the left ear/channel, I think it was doing it in your last video as well
I am not using headphones/ear buds, but the audio seems low on this video. Yes it seems the left channel only.
ive noticed this as well on a few videos, seems to be only on some shots perhaps with a specific camera/mic
I only get it on the left when Adam is in the left of shot.
I listen with headphones, and have the same issue. The right channel dropped at 8:02 and came back at 20:24, and dropped again at 25:05 and back again at 26:27.
@@norfolkhall But it’s full volume on the ads! :-)
Nice job Adam.
Incredible job
those threads are beautiful
Nice job. Fun to watch.
Thanks Adam for the CRC tip for parts. Rod stock that I need was 1/2 the price I could find in my local area. Herb in Mass.
Tidy work. Looks good and solid.
This is the Abom-Show that i like!
Sehr gut weiter so!!👍👍
I was surprised to not see any brass shims when you took the rod out of the lathe....gutsy move there
I love watching you work that lathe. Damn your good. :)
Them dagum throdeds this is a interesting approach I usually cut the eyes off on the lathe
Good to see the old 330A/BP getting some loving. I figured you'd tig these. But when your stick welding looks better than my tig work...
Very nice Adam
Beautiful video
Nice job!
What you said at the 15 minute mark is so important that I've seen so many people running lathes not do or think about they will take the 2nd to last cut at say .120 doc leaving only .020 stock for the last past then wonder why they over cut the last pass it's all about tool pressure you want your last 2 passes very similar in doc to account for the pressures I've done the same for a few years now and always works beautiful
One of the certainties in life is you will always forget things. The difference between normal and genius is the ability to remember the things you forgot quicker.
Adam the round welding table you are using to hold that rotating fixture is one of the first videos I watched from you and what made me subscribe.
Great job
"Get in quick and pull out to avoid the chatter" good life advice 😂
The foreplay chatter is fun though! 😈 Lay out your plan, ask for special requests, make sure they know how smokin' hot they are, then go animal mode and show 'em that you love them. 👌 Idk, I'm a bit of a romantic myself. Others seem to think the smoke afterward is the best part. 😸😸😸
Good one, lol
@@mannys9130 If you smoke afterward, you're going too fast.
@@markchristianson3653 I don't smoke at all. 😸 Bad for your health. Leads to erectile dysfunction too.
I bet that carbide-tipped saw blade really sings!
Other than the videos of removing stuck or broken off hardware from heads and things like that. Repairing anything thats AG or Construction equipment related is like watching perfection to me. Especially when you are taking raw materials and making a finished product, like these cylinders. This is the American spirit right here in living color. Its men like Adam and his Dad and Grand Dad that helped to build this country with there amazing skills. And its how we provided equipment to our fighting men that helped them win WW-2 on two fronts in the 1940's.
Fantastic!
The rods look like tasty candy canes with a hardened steel chrome plated core, yum.
I wondered all the way from part one how long it would take to get that orange paint off…to the very end…. Nice job, as always.
That tool post camera angle is awesome! I could watch that for hours. Maybe you could setup an ASMR machinist channel with content like that?
Great video
I run and program a haas ec-1600, and man these lathes and “big swing” jobs you run scare the hell out of me this is a lil guy but the amount of focus is so fluid
You had me at 'Throd!' :D
Very nice!
I got that exact same saw at a good discount when porter cable discontinued it lol I was looking for a part for mine when I saw kieth rucker using that saw in a video and recognized the design looked it up and was the exact same saw porter cable must have sold them the design and they painted it all black and changed the name plate great saw 👍👍👍
Nice job there Adam, next time you do any again leave them in the cardboard tube when putting in lathe chuck and just pull it forward and clamp it in jaws i,ve seen cutting edge do it that way,
Nice video 👍🇺🇸

500K subs! Kinda snuck up on me. Good job!
strange i have a MIG, and a TIG machine but i always liked the stick welding process best and my old oil cooled set
abaut threading to exact debth on manual lathe... you can reverse the turn direction, work on the other side of the workpiece center by installing a second tool post and you thread towards the end of the rod instead of into the material since by reversing direction you reverse feed direction - especially great to use if you need to thread right to the bottom of a inside thread and have very short distance not to crash and no vision onto it other than maschine scale
Very nice video thanks for sharing. :o)
That is some......Might might welding there....Thanks
Another great video. Keep up the great work. That said, am i the only one who had the right audio channel cut out in the last half of the video?
