Had some issues with the mic on this one. Y'all may have to work the thumbs a little bit today to adjust the volume. I'm confident you have the required skill set to make it work. Thanks for watching!
Audio was just fine in my bluetooth headset.
Easiest way to get the wear ring in for the backyard mechanic is to stack the old one on top of the new one and then flip the cushion ring upside down and stack it on top of that. Alot easier then looking for a socket.
Lessons learned from the first time always makes the next one easier!
Hey captain I have been a machine for 45 years and I have never seen any body take a cyl apart like that but it worked very well . Good job.
You are one of the most patient people I have ever seen on here. I want to see the outtakes now.
Thanks Wayne
AS Journeyman in Hydraulic Manufacturing and repair, methods are crude but the get the Job Done, NAVY denied my opportunity to do what they trained me to do after 19y 6 months, my LAT tour of DUTY they Sent ME Temp Duty away from my profession so some else could do my JOB, I appreciate Down to earth Rebuild on Hyd cylinder. Either way, I enjoyed my service, get paid every last day of month. Nice rebuild.
You know the relative ease at which you rebuilt that cylinder is going to guarantee when another cylinder fails you will be on the short list to rebuild it! Nice video! I would have appreciated a little peak in DP’s garage LOL!
Lol, hope so! It's not too bad of a job
Very impressive work 👍 the hamster in my head nearly exploded with all you had to remember Irish Leo 🎻
Captain Kleeman demonstrates "Precision Torquing" with the eight foot pipe extension....SWEET ! 🙂
💪
Just remember to say "Click"
Jobs like these having a picker truck would make things so much easier. Another option to take it into the shop is get a big heavy flat piece of steel and put the rod in the press and press down on the eyelet holding it down to the table on the press. When i got my bucket cylinder rebuilt on my 230 hitachi, the rod end got mushroomed slightly from the previous owner slamming the bucket open to try get material to come out of the bucket. So had to take it into a machine shop to get the end of the nut and the threads taken off.
You made that look easy Mike. Great job. Dirt perfect is lucky to have you around so they can keep production running. 👍
Be sure to remind him! Lol
@@CaptainKleeman I'm sure he does, DP certainly doesn't hold back on wearing hi- vis Captain Kleeman tee shirts ! Between your channel, DP's and C&C's - man you guys' sure impact on my working week lol!!!
Mike next time you have a metal Sleeve to put in and you know about it. Put new metal sleeve in a Freezer while your taking the seals out. And once you have old sleeve out and your ready for new one get it out of freezer and it should just Drop right in. And all youll have too do is put snap ring back on. That way you dont have to worry about damaging new sleeve. Should work good for things like that. Just a suggestion Sir. You got it in anyhow I was just giving You another way is all. Great Job Sir. Great Video...
@ 17:17, that ring is called a "guide ring" by paperwork I've seen. Some such 'paperwork' call it a wear ring as well.
"Guide rings, also known as wear rings and bearings, are used to guide the piston and rod in a hydraulic cylinder. These rings absorb radial forces that act perpendicularly to the cylinder. Also, these bearings prevent contact between sliding metal parts, thereby optimizing seal performance."
Nice job and didn't even scratch the concrete moving the blocks haha. Stay safe
Thanks Bruce
The Chevron point goes to the pressure side right ok nice 👍 the picks come in handy good job thanks buddy BigAl California
Great job fixing the cylinder Captain Kleeman
Thanks Kevin
nice job .cant believe how clean you kept the concrete from the oil.i thought their would be oil all over it
I was surprised as well lol
Need a 3x12 foot oilpan.
That’s what I did m except I curled my bucket under and took the piston out and left the hosing ( you called it a barrel) on my Link-Belt 2800 , and I took my piston cylinder to a freind at the place where I bought my machine From, there is a ton of packing seals 10 inches Long , almost 6 inches in diameter, they don’t look at big until you get them out , lol nice thanks 🙏 BigAl California.
The word you're searching for on the set screw is "Staking". Good job ... just wish you'd use some Brake Cleaner in the reassembly process. Very enjoyable video LT.
Thanks Craig
Mike,
I enjoy your videos, no hi tech tools, just using what you have to do the job 👍
Makes me feel like I should replace the leaking seals on my 60+ year old loader🤔
Good video 👍👍
Get to work! Lol
«You just outdid yourself…!» Allways goood with some objective feedback 👍👍👍😉
💪
Great work captain. wish the rebuild on my backhoe went that easy. Piston bolt was red loctited on, ended up denting my piston ( luckily it was on the end and not where the pressure ring sits) trying to heat and beat it off.
Wouldn't it be great content if the oil just sprayed out of the end you fixed. Lol
I am empressed on your attention to detail on doing that kind of stuff. God bless
Thanks for showing how u rebuild the cylinders. U did great.
Thanka for watching
It looked easy, but I bet it was a tricky job. Working outside, you didn't have access to a crane to help hold it. You didn't have other specialist tools needed to do the job, but you made it work. Great job Mike. Love the variety of work you do on the channel.
Thanks Jack
You should always take a cylinder apart with the rod all the way in you lose less oil. Also if you can, generally the fittings on the side. If it has a hose that goes to it, take the hose off, hook up a heater hose to it. So whenever you're pulling out or compressing the cylinder that oil is going to come out through the heater hose and you get direct it wherever you want it to go.
soaking the rings in hot water helps them go on a lot easier.
💪
@@CaptainKleeman I've got to do both lift cylinders on my Bobcat skid steer. So i looked on amazon and found a three tool kit for bending and installing the inner seal. I think it was only 19.95 .
That bush you punched in the gland is my least favourite part as well even with a press they scary so easy to mess up.
Another tip with your seal installer I use a circlip pliers to grab and twist because they are rounded on the shanks.
Top work on keeping the oil contained
My grandson came in while I was watching this right at 9:48 and when it separated, he pointed and said "He broke it! He broke the eggscavader!" and started crying. I had to get him a graham cracker and have him sit with me and watch that you were actually repairing it and not breaking it lol. He got all happy and flat-out told me that when he gets older, he wants to be the construction doctor instead of just making holes.
You made that look easy, appeared to be much easier to get the purchase you needed while the cylinder was still attached to the bucket end !
Changing the rings made you look like a surgeon with the added bonus you know what you are doing 😁
Had no issues with the volume either on this side of the pond, the distance must have evened up the quality!!!
Definitely easier this time around leaving it attached to the machine. Didn't have to worry about making Mike's table a pretzel 😂
The locking of the set screw is called staking. Nice job.
💪
"New oil containment plan." My first thought on using the "litter-box" was "that's a John Deere, not a Cat!" Actually, very nice job, and if I could do it your "finished way" (with all the bad words and busted knuckles edited out), I'd be very happy. Thanks for the "pre-daylight" entertainment, and nice job on the "out-ro" by the way. Take care.
😂😂 good joke, like it
Dan… that’s a good point… question is… although it ain’t un-legal, is it ethical to make a Deere use a Cat box?
Like the video on working on 120 JD cylinder seal .your very good at it .
Thanks Leo
Well one of the words we used for mashing the metal around set screws was peening a form of denting with a hammer to swage the metal around the screw to stop its movement.
wow never seen a cyl taken apart that way before and im surprised you got the nut off, it must have been a lil loose, those torque to 2000-3000 ft lbs. good job at getting it done with what you got.
Long enough lever will always do the trick
Always amazed at how these rings/spacers/pressure-keepers/guides/etc. have different colors/orders and tricks to remove and replace! It's one thing to see it done by a guys who's done it for years. But I am very impressed to find that you've done this only a couple of times!! I can't imagine the trepidation of making a mizteak!! 😳 You done gude!!! 👏DP owes you enough free rental time to finish all your home projects!! 👍 Tell him I said so!! 🤪
😂😂😂
Hey Mike, I know it’s too late now, but look into an oil pump. The kind that sucks out engine oil through the dipstick tube. I think it would work well for this type of repair. Plus it would be handy around the shop for all kinds of these jobs.
Would definitely be handy.
Another seal replacement done, like a champ!
💪
did you put your spacer/shim back in? (4:10)
Bud you are getting real good at those cylinders nice work 👍👋🇨🇦
Thanks Alan
When I get stuck on snap rings or seals. I like to get real close. With a gentle but convincing voice tell it. "Your coming out even if I need to melt you." Usually works a out 70% of the time everytime. Maybe next time you have to replace seals. Lay them out in a line so it's super easy to put back. Plus you can remember the orientation of the seal. Maybe use some hydraulic fluid on the seals as you put them in. That word you were looking for "grub screw"
I stack them in reverse order of how I take them out. As I put one in I pull one off the old stack so I see which one goes next. I was dipping them all in oil in this video.
Great video Captain Kleeman
Good Job ! Enjoy watching you workout issues
Thank you
Ah nice and relaxed repair video... see it come apart, see its inner workings... a little explaining... getting it back together with sparkly new parts and see it work again!
Great stuff mister Klee the Man! :)
Thank you!
I was waiting for you to pick up the screwdriver with the bucket/thumb, sigh.
Great job.
jack
😂😂
I love how you just jump into things. I know did one of those before but that time was a first.. I need to have a little more confidence and make some time to try out some of the things like that I need done and just do it myself
💪
You have got to be one of the most versatile people in existence.Of course the best part is (not scared to try) and you definitly have that going for you.Great video, Stay safe.
Thanks for the kind words Darryl
Hey Mike you are a hell of a mechanic you can work on anything Nice job will be watching the next video 👍
Thanks marty
Andrew Camaratta would approve!
💪
Well done Mike. The process on the set screw is called staking. Thank you for sharing.👍
Thanks for watching
Dimpling the metal to help retain a fastener or part is called "staking".
It's probably that new skidster
Nope! Good guess though
That sure is alot of seals and parts to the cylinder Mike. You're becoming the cylinder rebuild master. Also that's one well used pry bar you were using to break the big nut loose.
Lol, well used indeed
Congrats Cap on getting the heavy Cylinder Seal Replace. great job....
Thanks Billy
Captain Jack of all trades! 👌👌
💪
Must be an old Breakar Bar (10:49).... Peyronies has set in!
😂😂
Not enough Viagra.
This one went much easier than the last one! Thanks for sharing Mike!
💪
Mike, you make a hard job look very easy. Very nice work!
Thank you
nice simple maintenance job on the 120 completed without any issues. thanks as always for sharing!
Thanks for watching
Well Captain, a fella'd have to think you HAVE done that a time or three.
Looks like another success in your rebuilt cylinder column.
Can't wait to see more chicken coop/ goat barn vids.
Especially with fall and winter not far off for you guys living above the Artic circle that begins above Pt. St. Lucie for those of us who live 5 miles above the 18 mile strech (overseas highway/US1) to Key Largo.
September 2nd and it's 89 feels like 99 here today.
We won't get down to the 70's regularly till the end of September.
Still in the 90s here! Ready for the fall weather
Good video...not sure you know how to do what you do...and do it well.
Thanks Joyce
Thank you and have great week.
Thanks Dennis
You need a King Trailer...none of that pushing ramps down stuff!!
Yeah, using joysticks is just exhausting
You know something about everything!
Lol,. There is always Google
Captain, I used a few cheater bars like you did. Suffice it to say I was leary of using such a contraption. Lol. I broke a 1/2" drive breaker bar in the process. But I had heat the nut, cut the bolt, and hurt myself in the ordeal.
All working on a 6' rotary mower I can't get parts for.
That's a rough day!
Very nice job there CPT !! Your getting it done my friend. Now you can say there's nothing I can't do !!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
💪
Nice job MIKE. Who else wanted to see him pick up the screwdriver with the bucket? lol
😂😂
Nicely done sir, I have changed many seal kits on ram pistons and heads, I would not have a problem with you working on any of my hydraulic operated equipment sir. Thanks for the ride along sir.
Thanks for watching Terry
Great video Mike. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching Jim
nice work mike whit dat stuf
Thanks
I bet Mike loves to be able to have you do those jobs. It can be a very messy job but you did great.
Thanks walter
Sure is a lot more seals in the bigger cylinders compared to my skid steer cylinder I just rebuilt.
Love the way you praise your own good work. Quite right! You deserve it! 💪👍
Thanks David
Don't know if someone else has said it but never lubricate anything that is a pressed fit (bushing/bearing race). Always clean both surfaces and install dry. The reason there is a press fit is to insure it doesn't move and oil can cause it to slip free and also change the tolerance on the inside diameter. Other than that good job.
It can't skip free. Held in with a lock. No concern there. Appreciate you looking out though
What you are saying is not necessarily true. The interference fit is dependent on each of the two joining parts deforming ever so slightly so that the assembly can be completed. I always lubricate these pieces because, depending on the specified tolerances, the mating parts can seize together before the assembly is complete. Then you may damage either one of the two mating parts by applying excessive force, and that can cause all kinds of nightmares. There is one exception and that is bearing races. For these you can use a compound called, "bearing retaining compound". This lubricates during assembly but then hardens afterwards to hold bearings securely in place. Bosses for bearings can become larger after many hours of use and the original press fit tolerances may not be available.
Are you sure your torque on that gland nut was correct. You only torqued to 2 ahs I think it’s supposed to be 1 grunt and 2 ahs. Looks like you’re the new cylinder rebuild man👍
Nicely done Captain, if DP has top secret stuff, it needs to get leaked out!! Nice breaker bar, thought you were going to have to get Gunner to jump on to!! Thanks for sharing!!👍🇺🇸
Thanks max
Some interesting tyre marks on the concrete there!
Finally, someone who is putting in real detective work here 😂
Stake, word you were looking for. Nice job.
Lol thanks Doug!
Great job Captian.
Last time I replaced cylinder seals..."somebody" got in a hurry, "somebody" ended up wearing a half gallon of Hydro fluid. Oops. LOL. Nice job doing it right Mike.
Lol hydraulic fluid has never been fashionable
nice and clean, good job 👍🌞
Thanks Kent
Good job Mike!
Thanks lonnie
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Always interesting and entertaining to follow along with you as you figure out how to do a job. I’m pretty certain there are very few jobs you couldn’t eventually figure out. Was a little reminiscent of watching the “Precision Transmission” shop from Amarillo TX that has a TH-cam channel and records the tear downs and explains the points of wear they find and how all the little giblets inside a transmission works. Might be something to do if the Subaranger ever needs to be serviced. Had me 😂 with the we can’t be friends if you actually use a proper breaker bar followed by you using a proper breaker bar with next level cheater pipes in the next two shots. Hopefully you can still be friends with yourself. Looking forward to seeing more in the future, wishing you and your family the best.
Big job nice work thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching Kyle
how are the ,chickens & the turkeys with there new house.? i was just thinking that the storage bit you added on will be an ideal place for the chickens to take over from you.👈🐔🐓🦃👀👀👀👍
A job well done.
Thanks Steve
I love that 120 size. Kinda wish I got that size instead of my 315 . But Hey it’s what was available when I was shopping 🤷♂️. Great video Cap!!
It's an all around great size. Be better if it was blue though, am I right? 😂
@@CaptainKleeman haha yeah . You’d be surprised how well that works for marketing around here. There’s hundreds of guys in our area. My son and I were in the restaurant parking lot fixing something . this couple came out and said” I’ve seen you all around town with your blue stuff “. Then we started talking and they want us to do work for them . My son says The color seems to be psychologically inviting and a conversation Ice breaker . I just know it’s gonna be expensive for the 315. I’m thinking 3 gallons 😂
Good job. I like the way you think when you work ,work smart not hard. If you didn't live 1000 miles away I would gladly go help you with your projects.😁
Only 1000? What's stopping ya? Lol
Excellent job Cap
Thanks peter
Great job LT. 🙂👍🇮🇪
Thanks Bob
Divots around screw is called staking
👍
😊your skills are impressive.
Thank you
I am not sure what funnier the cheater bar or the camera falling over near the end.
Lol
Good job Mike
Thanks vic
I think I would leave the barrel end pinned to the dipper stick. Pull the back pin from the bucket so you could get enough travel to remove the rod from the cylinder. Use the chain come along to control the movement of the cylinder rod as it is separated from the barrel so that it doesn't flop down and damage the finish on the rod.
Thought about it, then I have nothing holding the cylinder when I torque the glad nut off.
@@CaptainKleeman It would still be pinned to the linkage because that pin remains in place. The only pin removed would be the pin that goes directly on the bucket. The linkage would restrain the rod just as it did for you.
I was scared for you, operating on DPs 120 took more nerves than I'd have, but of course, it all turned out fine as usual
It's definitely his baby!
Mike another fantastic 5 ⭐ video God bless y'all and you definitely make it look easy love your humble soul and great since of humor. And DP will be happy for sure 💯.. see next time from Gaffney South Carolina 👋
Thank you Daniel
Are you sure you are not a professional! I definitely enjoyed the vedio ❤️👍👌
Lol thanks Bobby
Don’t know why I watch the entire clip I have no heavy equipment at all not a machinist but Idid and it was interesting
Hey glad you watched!
Very nice captain ! 😎
A trick is to put the wear sleeve in freezer the night before. It will shrink and once installed, it will return to original size as it comes to room temperature.
Works well, but I wasn't there the night before haha
Won't shrink nowhere enough to make a difference. Why the post 2020 account?
Nice work Mike. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Patrick
