The bolt through the Ram end is that way round for a reason. It cannot come out when the bed is raised, so the cylinder cannot come out of the yoke unless the bed is lowered.
There is usually enough clearance under the yoke for the ram to extend below the bed if it comes loose on its own.
Take the bolt out first, then extend the ram, prop up the bed, and remove the cylinder.
This comment is underrated.
Yeah that makes sense, so the bed has a failsafe to prevent it from crashing if the nut happens to back off
i think you're correct .. have a like/up-vote
I was just gonna post the same thing. He put it back together correctly.
This IS the proper procedure. Rebuilt several of these.
Old video to comment but I love Meatball. What a guy
Repeated application of the "If it doesn't fit, get a bigger hammer" philosophy. I love it!
There's something about Meatball that makes me laugh every time. He seems to be quite a character.👍👌😁
his exercise ball that’s bigger than him cracked me up!
Meatball , never gives up! Much, like his owner! Determination!
if you ever know anybody with an English bulldog, Meatball in the background is completely normal.
Meatball is enthusiastic

As a certified couch mechanic, I approve of this repair.
🤣🤣🤣 Me too! Man, that's one the best of the year ! Like it. 🤣🤣
My couch isn't working right. Can you come do some mechanicing on it?
You should use latex gloves to prevent cancer. I've never seen the inside of a hydraulic cylinder before.
I think if I had a hydraulic shop around, I would just drop the cylinder off. Or better yet, maybe I'd just drop the truck off. How did you learn to do all this? I don't know that I would attempt all this myself, but I did learn a tip or two.
Kentucky looks like a nice State!
Real men ❤ heavy equipment!
@@giuliom8520 unless I'm mistaken, I think he's in PA.
This statement question has nothing to do with his video I remember in the early 60s we had a Hudson come in to have a valve job done the head mechanic and my father who owned the garage was a mechanic could not get the head off the engine block the nuts came off easy the head did not want to move I do not know what all dad poured down them studs diesel fuel kerosene and I have no idea what else but finally my dad gave up and told the customer come and get the when the engine started making funny noise call him they drove the car every day of the week and went to church on Sunday 11 days later they called Daddy and told him the car is making a funny noise well yeah the cylinder head was coming out finally my dad and I got in the truck and went and got the vehicle and pulled it back to the garage funny after 3 days of work on the head it finally came off the engine block it took another week to do the valve job and get all the studs out of the block so we could put bolts to hold a head down when it was all said and done My Father the owner of Buck's Auto Service gave him the job and apologize that it took so long like I said it doesn't have anything to do with Matt other than some of the things mechanics have to do to work on equipment The car orders passed away my father if dead the head mechanic is dead and I'm 81 I just want to say God bless to all you mechanics out there Jim Keane
"That's not serviceable!"
Proceeds to service it.
Didn't you love the little hammer , sledge hammer, torch and huge sledge hammer.
Would like but you're at 69
The bulldog and the yoga ball just to hilarious 0:10 Matt Definitely a nuckle head lol 😂 but to cute @Diesel Creek
Howdyyawl from the land down under. Hydrolics scare some people. Not hard to fix. Done all my own over the years. You did a great job to illustrate how to tackle a single lift ram. Hope some learned alot. Always good to watch you fixing stuff.😊
Using Gentle Persuasion on a hydraulic cylinder. Now that's finesse.
Just a tappy tap tap
dang that was difficult! I am all worn out, and I am just sittin' here.
I'm only 10 minutes in,but you promise me a " fix it like you love it" whoooppp!
Matt, when you reassemble hydraulic cylinders that use the "wind in" style of lock ring, it is a good practice to heavily coat the lock groove with grease or anti seize (or a combo of both) before seating the packing gland into the tube. Also coat the same stuff onto the lock before winding it in. The grease will help the lock enter the lock groove and provide protection against future corrosion. And finally, after the lock is installed, lightly wipe out the excess grease from the lock ring access port and then fill the port with a plug of your favorite RTV to seal out moisture and dirt. The RTV will not bond to the greasy surfaces but instead will cure in the shape of the port and stay there until it ever needs to be removed with a seal pick. We expect to learn stuff watching you have fun with your machines (and we do). Hopefully you can benefit from feedback in the comments. Thanks for your content.
I do love it when Matt says " This probably won't be so bad" Because he immediately jinxes himself and we get to enjoy all the extra content!! Good job Bro!!!
"meatball" lmaoo such a fitting name
He has fun that's certain! Great entertainer.
Great job Matt!

If you line an anvil up to the north / south poles along with a bar of iron and hit it extremely hard with a hammer it will turn into a simple bar-magnet. The atom structure of the steel lines up with the poles and becomes a magnet. Was the truck lined up north to south? I always enjoy your content, as well as the spooky unknowns of the world at large.
The heat also helped to induce the magnetism. The shock from hammering aligns the molecules in the metal.
Proud of you for commenting on this. It jogged my memory of a discussion on this many years ago. I forgot the context but yes this does sound familiar. I think old time blacksmiths discovered this phenomenon and used it occasionally for practical purposes. Sounds like a good rabbit hole to dive into for a few hours.
An extremely weak magnet, nothing like we see here.
This is proof that you make your own success.
The job was hard but you kept at it. 👍😁😎
“I sure hope that comes out of their” immediately cuts to torch being fired up. I love it!

@@AphexTwinII 🖕🏻
You inspire me, and I'm sure others, to just get in there and try our best to fix/maintain stuff! Tho I don't own a single "heavy" machine, I do rebuild cars as a hobby and have learned a lot of basic mechanic skills/principles from you, thank you Matt! Aloha from Hawaii!
Maintenance days can make ya crazy/cranky! But, sure satisfying when it's completed.
I definitely agree, I run into that whenever I have to grease my dad’s machines and on of the fittings doesn’t want to take grease or get cleaned out
Pulling the two dissimilar metals out of one another could have created magnetism.
Thanks. That was bugging me. 🤔👍
Very impressive. Never underestimate the value of a good mechanic.
Rained out at my Foundation repair and now i get to watch some Diesel creek! Nice!
A self-lubricating chassis system is a feature, too bad you had to get rid of it.
That forklift has the deluxe SLCS, it was squirting on every lift.
my guess is that we get a future video on that one
@@ronmimnaugh7674 Hope so. :)
I thought I was the only one that saw this.......
@@kltpep Nope. 🤣🤣
love how you just look at something and find a way to fix it even if the makers say hey its cheaper if we build it dumb. story of our lives!
You are a mechanical genius! If and when the whole world falls apart, I hope you’re around to reassemble it!
i am amazed that he did that entire job and his shirts still clean i cant even get to my tool box in the shop with out ruining a shirt
10/10 do share your secrets
Pay attention I have like 4 different shirts on in the video lol this was spread out over a week of messing around
Also, pro-tip. Never wear your nice clothes, that way you're always ready for work & never in trouble with the missus for ruining the nice clothes ;)
@@danmackintosh6325 every man needs a few sets of "garage clothes" mine are made up of my retired "good clothes" lmao
@@danmackintosh6325 what are these “nice clothes” of which you speak??
@@ChickenParm152 wedding tux and tie?
Matt your determination is endless when it comes to your projects.
So many heavy duty tools to assist in a heavy job like that sure make it a lot easier. What's that, a $500 job at the truck repair palace? DIY saves so very much money! Good show, Matt.
The seals can be warmed up in hot oil or water to soften them.
Meatball seems to have a lot of energy for a bulldog!
Most of them do, until old age sets in.
It's not energy they lack, usually. It's oxygen.
Don't you love to hear those old bull dogs snort and grunt, there funny, until they bite your Ass ? see ya
@@sterlingdavidgrasssr 🤣🤣
Watching Matt operate his equipment is the best part!! I think he could deal Blackjack with that skid steer!! LOL
You need the tool that Clint has for those seals Matt. You haven't done a video from home in a long time since you started working in the shop. Nice to see it again. Thanks for sharing your aggravating cylinder repair job.
A 466 with a 10 speed in a single axle is a FINE setup. I drove the tandems with a 466 and a 13-under and they were fine too. A 3208 was a fine engine for that size too. Fine job on the cylinder. And NO CUSSING which was an A-PLUS! Keep it up and you'll have me subscribing!
It was built that way for safety reasons because of so many injuries and deaths from boxes falling. So it's made to be removed from the underside with no box threat.😉👍
When a piece is magnetized for any reason I say" That's my magnetic personality!" and mean it.
there is something about a cylinder that works right that is very satisfying, the perfect meme , back and forth , in and out, yin and yang, slide, slide slide.
Backyard Mechanics at its Very Very Best!
Great job! Doing a repair like that singlehanded makes it that much harder; however, it does show case your mechanical aptitude to work around the additional challenges of a one man repair. Thanks for sharing!
From having done about 500 of those lift cylinders, that particular design sucks. They started welding the top pin in, because the ears are a bit too flimsy and the top pin had a habit of tearing out one ear or the other and making a real mess. The way I re-pack those, is by breaking the gland loose first, then pulling the bottom pin, then lifting the cylinder and slipping a section of 6" C-channel about 6 feet long underneath for a guide way. Then I set the cylinder back down in the channel, then remove the gland and slip the barrel off the piston sliding it down the channel. Then remove the piston, remove the gland, re-pack and reinstall in reverse order.
My current truck is basically the same, a 96' Irrational ,but with the 7.3 and hydraulic brakes. I got it cheap with only 45k on the clock, because the base of the dump cylinder was torn out of the crossmember. Apparently, if you never, ever, grease the cylinder pivot pins, the pins will rust bind and twist the pin bosses out of the hoist frame when it raises, who knew right??? lol
🤣🤦🏼♂️
@@DieselCreek "she's a squirter!"
Man, what a job!!!
Wow I know why most of my viewers come from this channel I'm glad I've found you enjoyed your style 💞👌
"I don't wanna speak too soon, but..." Uh-oh, you just shouldn't say that lol
it always gets worse if you say that
My favorite last words... "Just one more (whack, tap, bump, click, etc)." It never seems to be just one more anything... or if it is then I know I am tearing back apart again because I broke it...
@@jcota2003 mine is almost got it! Three hrs later you get it.
I think that's funny your dog is playing with a ball that is bigger than he is.
And Matt is also playing with machines bigger than he is 😅
You need to have diesel Creek logos on all your doors on all your vehicles. The license plate is very classy. Very nice. I don’t have a vehicle. I’d buy one Philip.
"The carnival continues" that scene gave me a great laugh, thanks a lot!
Been binge watching your videos for a day or so I must say you're a talented man. Keep on keeping on.
For sure would buy a plate.
Never say "It's coming off easy". That is a sure way to make something go wrong.
Damn good job Matt! Your perseverance and ingenuity sure paid off here. The dogs are fabulous, especially Meatball, he's cute as hell pushing that ball around.
Matt, you're a hard worker. Being fearless gives you a positive attitude. And you're smart. Good qualities to have.
If You could please forgive me, I would like to make some observations.
1. I would have taken a cut off wheel and cut the head off that bolt and then pulled it up.
installation would have been a hardened hitch pin with a hair clip.
2. I always loosen cylinder caps while still on the equipment. no need to hold the part after you remove it .
3. You probably rolled those threads when you removed the nut and didn't grind the punch crimps.
4. The forklift didn't get stuck, it got jealous.
I love your videos and I hope you dont get offended by my comments.
Nu 3 think the nut was already stuffed, that's why they'd center punched it so well ,to hold it together?
Matt, thanks for another great video! I'm always amazed by your ingenuity when overcoming obstacles! Your dear Wife really held her own driving the loader... Kudo's to her! So glad I found your channel, you continue to be an inspiration!
You are a good heavy duty mechanic for big equipment.
Hahaha...!
After all the wrestling you did getting it apart, to have that slide in so smooth..., man very nice...
Thank you , Matt for your mechanical breakdown and explanation of hydrolic lift. Man, you have terrific determination! If there is a will , there is a way!
Good show!😀👍
I've always wondered what that stuff looks like inside - thanks for sharing the rebuild. Good stuff!
I love working, I can watch it for hours.... ... .. .
(this young man is World Class, if not Known Universe..!}
Glad you got it done without any issue
Matt you’re the man! This is definitely one of my two favorite channels on TH-cam! I always learn a thing or two from watching
"There's no such thing as a simple job!"
Unfortunately, one of my most used sayings.
A neighbourhood without fences.......
Fantastic!
Much Respect from New Zealand.
I like that a neighborhood without fences. from the Seattle Washington area.USA
My wife is convinced that all repairs are simple, Just give them to her husband. 😉
Off-topic but good fences make good neighbors
I have another one that I came up with: "It's always easier when somebody else does the work" Cheers!
Love the videos Matt don't ever quit...You should do a story time video telling us about you and your lifestyle and history... Is this your house and your shop is somewhere else???????
Meatball is a riot. I could watch him chase that ball all day.
Nice job Mat. Have experience in hydraulic ram repair and some of them can be a bear to work on, especially if someone ahead of has made a mess out of it. Enjoyed the rebuild, especially since I didn’t have to work on it!😏
Jesus, your dad is still with you? what a blessing.
His tenacity borders on mythical 😮 16:52
Matt, You are a VERY clever mechanic.
He doesn't know anything! Matt - your supposed make Tarzan sounds when swinging on hydraulic cylinders. Woulda' popped right out. How else would it know you mean business?
Maybe he thought it was a wrecking ball... 😏
Don't you wish more people used anti-seize. I know I do. 🤷♂️😞
Ah, NO! I hate the stuff as it ends up everywhere even on the old ladies kitty. Grease works nearly as well and it does not follow you home.
@@billb410 I hear you but that is the point, it is supposed to stick everywhere, it is either wear gloves or use lacquer thinner to get it off. 😞
There is no need goop it on, a little goes a long way. I work in a steel mill and when I come back to undo a fastener I worked on 30 years ago and it just nicely comes apart, I fall in love all over again.🥰
@@MatthewBerginGarage I also worked at a steel mill, we undid every single fastener with the torch. Steel mill life was really hard on any threads sticking out of the nut.
@@the_hate_inside1085 I'm a shift electrician we try not to need torches if at all possible.😱 My mechanical compadres also use the flame wrench on all bolts, it just saves time.
Man's best friend love the bulldog
Death challenge to any project "Whoo maybe this project won't be so bad..."
How many shirts were required to finish this job? Were any harmed? From the Ethical Treatment of Plaid Shirts.
Goes to show you! If you have one piece of heavy equipment, you need several to keep them going! Always instructive in problem solving, and Meatball is always entertaining!
It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. Please follow Matt as he tackles various projects around his compound.
Usually when something comes apart only after a Herculean effort and some truly epic cussing , and then go back together again fast and smooth like, I get very suspicious. Because this usually means I forgot a small part somewhere and have to tear it back apart and do it right, or something else is broke that I missed and all my effort is for naught... 😉
@Bill the Welding Sloth Ok, ok, you're not a yob,I believe you. You are definitely a nut job though... 😁👍
You got it. That has happened to me and I felt like an idiot. Now I try to write down or keep track in my mind where stuff is suppose to go back together
@@georgedavidson7986 Keep a shop cell phone. One that you don't mind getting dirty or scratched up and take a sh*t load of pictures. I also use tape with writing on it on cables and pipes, but if it's a greasy job they can fall of or get smudged, especially if the parts are lying around for a long time before reassembly... I also put hardware in marked baggies and tape or zip tie those to the parts they came off of as I go along, but here we also have the same problem with the writing getting smudged on greasy jobs (or if it is a really long time between the tear down and the reassembly, sometimes I don't understand what the heck I meant when I wrote something like: "screws underside of flange". Six weeks later: What flange, there's no flange!! LOL!)
@@akersjon278 Been there done that And still have ended up with extra parts Almost like someone threw stuff in there to freak me out
@@georgedavidson7986 Pfft, that's nothing! If you want to have something to freak out about, try cutting and welding on a piece of scrap metal that you found in the corner of the shop to fix a problem you had with a piece of equipment at the time, just to realize a couple of weeks later that it belonged to the machine you pulled apart a really long time ago (You know, the really expensive one that it took forever to get the parts for, because it's old and rare)... 😁👍
need a series on you teaching the wife on using all your heavy equipment.
This ain't that kind of website buddy
I love her face when he has her drive something new! A combination of WTF and panic.
@@Calamity_Jack 🤣🤣
Double protect your self and anyone else who passes by bro.
That old bulldog looks like a real character!
Don't know how many times I've found a bolt or welded rod where a pin and cotter used to be. Jerry fixes are such a pain to remove.
"Maybe this project won't turn out so bad".... Matt, you really like to live dangerously don't you.
Matt s new favorite tool.
Wood wire brush handle 👌
Just another day at ditsal creeek, I really enjoy your work, reminds me when I wrenched for a living. Semper-Fi
magnetism possibly from current for chrome plating?
It looked like that rear bolt on the cylinder was just a retaining bolt. I'd think you are just supposed to remove the bolt in the lowered position and remove the cylinder, or just raise the bed with no bolt to remove. The socket the cylinder fits in would have kept everything connected. Could also have dropped a shorter bolt/pin in with no nut just to be safe raising the bed.
Maybe a clevis pin?
I liked that compressed air trick you used to advance the piston in the cylinder.
You've inspired me. I am going to pick up a 71 crane truck and start working on it. Have to have it towed in, but the engine works.
at the 9:40 mark, my old 70 year old eyes seem to detect a strong hydraulic leak on the mast of the forklift.
I'm only 68 so was unable to see it !
Well, my 69 y.o. eyes saw it too. But I had to go back to see it. And a major at that ! Good eyes Ronvera ! 👍
@@stevewhyte8476 A year or two do count at our age, right Steve !! 🤣🤣
@@marcryvon Absolutely , take care .
I usually catch things like that, but missed this one and my eyes are only 67 years used 😁 I did see it after going back though.
God i feel your pain on this, i think your forklift has a pretty good hydraulic leak also
Only when you lift above 4 foot lol
Your bulldog always make me smile 👍😎👍
Another nice job, well done.
Wow, drive by that engineers house and throw the hydraulic ram assembly in his yard. Never ends my friend, just got to keep moving. Magnetism my guess is from plating process or friction.
I heard if you hammer a piece of iron, steel it'll magnetize for a short term but I'm not 100% sure.
@@kamsok6132 heating and beating can result in minor magnetism
I need to get one of those balls for my dog! it is yard sale season LOL
im surprised meatball loves to play with it so much. usually herding or sheepdogs are the ones that cant get enough of that
Matt i swear all my jobs (tasks) euploid into headaches like this, Hang in there, Good job
Your Bulldog is magnificent man
Don’t you wish you had the amount of energy that meatball has?
Too be exact, I wish I could be as over-weight as meatball, and still have his energy, lol
@@jerryb1234 bulldogs are always that stocky.
I've never seen such an energetic bulldog. They're usually just panting, slobbering lumps. 😄
@@jerryb1234 Meatball is not over-weight FYI! He has more energy then most dogs I actually have to stop him from playing so he doesn’t over due it
I think cutting the welds holding the pin in and then installing a removable pin would have been way easier and would of solved the problem for the future rebuild
i would have reinstalled with a link pin, not a bolt and nut
Who cares
I usually never comment on anything at all. I’m a rigger and forklift mechanic. One of the companies we use to haul heavy loads had a guy working on a new to them dump truck with all the cylinders repacked and all lines replaced. Long story short, a great guy lost his leg and is still in intensive care. A factory prop rod folded in half and they’re not sure what the failure was and why the bed came down on him. A horrible event happened to a great person, and I’m glad to see you were safe about everything.
yes I didn't trust the factory rod for the type of work I was doing!
The Florida pool pump motor bearing repair guy approved ! that was good info
Damn you! I’ve got work in less than 20 mins 🙃
Playback at 1.5 speed helps. As much as I enjoy Diesel Creek videos, Matt does drawl a bit.
When you smack it with a hammer that magnetize it
How apropos that you opened this video with the dump truck intro. 😊 Meatball is a keeper👍
another job well done keeps the truck working and the DOT happy mo oil dripping 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Meatloaf loves his ball.
That was a bad design at back u will have to put the bolt back in from top.
Always a weed to flower on every job .
😁
