- Jerry put the Bobcat to the test with his new modifications.
Now the Bobcat needs the cylinders rebuilt.
Jerry waste no time tackling the repairs. But don't stand to close!

Just a tip: Anytime you have sharp threads, cover the threads with masking tape and the O-ring will slide easily and not be damaged.
I've enjoyed the TH-cam videos on just about any subject matter you reveal. Time well spent in my opinion. Bobcats are tough like chicken's teeth.
I like ol Mr. Pete
God works in mysterious ways, Jerry. Tomorrow I was going to redo the seals on one of the lift cylinders on my sweet ol' 743 Bobcat ('Bob") It has been leaking for several years! Procrastination..and a bit of fear. All I could see was $$$. You have made the chore so understandable and do-able. Monday I will get the kit. Thanks a bunch!!!
You did "Farmer fine". Those yellow rings are teflon. They need boiled in water then installed. Try to NOT stretch it when you install it. While it is still warm, place a piston ring clamp around it until it cools. It will insert into the cylinder easily. Most importantly is to hone the cylinder to remove the glaze before assembly. Before placing the piston on the rod, tape over the threads so it will not hurt your new thin o-ring. That mystery o-ring went on the rod up against the shoulder before the piston went on. (it was left off)
The nut was loose because someone used an old nut and it loosened up. Your leak was the oil bypassing under the piston.
Thank you Mr Rosa
I have the same birthday as you Jerry :-)
This video is great. Guitar videos are great. mandolin and shop talk videos are all great. Keep 'em coming.
Jerry, I loved the "jump scare" when your wrench slipped near the end.. Very effective film making Mr. Hitchcock.....lol.
Great video on a subject that up until now, I had no knowledge about. You deserve your OWN tv show....on PBS.
I did enjoy that video Jerry. It was 4:00 am in the UK and I couldn’t sleep. Glad you were there to keep me company and entertained. Cheers 🍺
Excellent! Would have enjoyed seeing the Bobcat work after the cylinders were re-installed.
Great. I like the contrast of the machinery videos.
I was raised by an engineer . So i spent as much time under my dad´s cars as i did practicing guitar as a kid. I now fix a few guitars too
Cheers from madrid
very interesting, very enjoyable
Nice fix Jerry. The only thing I would have done different, is I would have drilled new spanner holes in the end cap before reinstalling it. that, however; wouldn't have affected the function of the cylinder. Thanks for the video.
Great video Jerry really interesting stuff 👍
Another awesome video Jerry. Keep it up.
I hope Mr. Pete don't see you cutting the rod with that much stickout. He'll give you detention after school. 😁
I knew somebody would say something about that but I had delighted stick out so that the angle would be right for the camera I didn't have much Room to set the camera
Good stuff!
I can't wait to see it in action again and hear how much better you've made it. I like this kind of video, I may never have to do this type of thing, but if I ever do, at least I've seen it done once. And if need be, I can refer back to it at that time. Now, having seen it, it's not nearly as daunting as it would be otherwise. Yet another thing I've learned from you, sir!
Very informative video... all in days work for a Missouri Farmer
Pretty cool thanks.
Not much different than installing a truss rod lol.....love these just as much as the instrument repairs and builds..its always a learning experience for all of us diehard fans.....
Worked at a Bobcat dealership for 2 years. We used large channel locks to remove the gland on hydraulic cylinders. No one had special tools.
Right on the machine was the way we did it too. Holds the cylinder still too.
Great video Jerry, one thing i haven't done is rebuild a hydraulic cylinder. Now i know what to expect when the time comes, thanks!
That was absolutely cool. Thank you very much. Enjoyed it
You can tighten the od of the bushing by knurling.
Thanks sir one one smartest videos I've seen!
I rely enjoyed the video and the presses you use to solve the job to complete a working unit.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching you work on that. Good job!
I would know what to do with a hydraulic cylinder, no problem, but how to fix a musical instrument as you do, no way I will ever know how. I am glad you got the cylinder apart so easily, I my experience they are a real pain .
Looked good to me....Boogity Boogity Boogity........You did'nt know it but I was over here helping you...lol lol lol
You really are a Renaissance Man, thanks for sharing.
Great video
Thanks for the video!
There will be less flex in your material if it's closer to the chuck.
Nice job. You saved a ton of $$ doing that yourself.
Reminds me of rebuilding my Volkswagen Vanagon steering rack. Which was more complicated, but the same issues with seals and getting them in place without twisting, etc.
Wrenchin’ with Jerry! Love from NW Colorado. Thanxz
hi jerry ! i'm coming from corsica to get some news.
Jerry you are an inspiration!
Is there nothing you cant fix well except the Internet LOL great work
Inspirational
Nice one Jerry, I have done one or two of those seal kit changes. I know that as a ‘double acting hydraulic ram ‘👍👌🇬🇧
I rebuilt an automatic transmission once. Put one of those seals in backwards.
Didn't help.
And, of course, it was right in the middle. SOP, for a dumb SOB. 😣😖😬🥵🤬🤬🤬
Awesome!!
Hi neighbor! OMG! My b-day is November 28 as well! We'll have to toast each other that day. Keep enjoying life!
Steel and Aluminium can be quite tricky to unscrew apart, i don't know why they cut corners like that? If that was asteel end cap it would have gone with your tool Jerry.
Don't forget to blame Caleb for the missing Large wrench
Yep, another benefit of having an apprentice.
Fairly simple! lol 😆
your home made spanner wrench would of worked better if you wielded a brace across it...
Jerry, I just finished watching your latest Shop Talk. This is the type of thing that you need to let go of. Take them off and send them out. It's time to start making choices. I'd like you to be recording episodes for your channel for a long time. I'm 78 and there are lots of things that I have had to give up. I used to be like you, doing all my own work.
Jerry, don't let go of anything. It's all good. Love the instrument videos; the rest just add value to your channel.
I feel it's really a personal choice. Jerry knows what his limits are and hes talked about his encroaching arthritis and stuff on many of his excellent videos. I'm sure that if he wasn't able to do it himself he wouldn't be all precious about it and delegate to someone else, just like he brought in Melissa to run the office and Caleb to pick up the instrument repair work. I think Jerry knows when to rest and when to work.
Should have called Abom😀
As a sage once said: If you ever need another set of hands, call the little woman.... and if she's busy, call your wife!
No doubt, that sage was, also, working with a hydraulic cylinder.
You took too much off on the lathe 'cause you had too much stickout and the rod was bending, also dull tool.
They must have used titebond on those threads.
At first you are fighting the seal.
Gotta be careful fighting seals.
They're not a docile as they look. 🤣🤣🙄😏
*hydraulic oil* .. like brake oil.. attracts water.. .that's what causes the breakdown of the oil and sludge... you should probably change the hydraulic fluid..
Hey Jerry is your loader called Tom by any chance?
I don't think you should put grease inside a hydraulic cylinder. The fluid acts as a lubricant, so that is what you use for re-assmbly. I watched Adam Booth rebuild cylinders a few times. He used to make them
I watch Adams and others build cylinders many of them do use grease
How was the intonation?
It was a bit sharp around the threads ;-)
But what’s the thread pitch to start with?😗
@@alfredsamperi9776 Looked like an F# to me.
One Post I found said (back in 2011) all but 3 (Bobcats) are metric - I do NOT know if it is a fact, just Sharing...
So ..just curious, how would you get the Ever Given unstuck? I bet you have thought about that. Lol.
Ya wanna get sumthin' unstuck??
C-4, dude!
