Repair BROKEN Hydraulic Cylinders for CAT D11 Dozer | Part 1 | Making a New Eye
This video is Part 1 of repairing a pair of BROKEN Hydraulic cylinder rods and eyes for a Caterpillar D11 Dozer ripper lift cylinders. The eye has completely broken off one rod, the threaded end has broken off the other rod and there is also a seized nut! This shows the step by step process of making a new eye for the hydraulic cylinder rod including machining, boring, milling, drilling and tapping. We also show gas axe cutting off the seized nut using an oxy gas cutting torch and machining the good eye off the broken cylinder rod ready to fit onto the new cylinder rods which we make in part 2.
In this video we are using:
- Hafco TM-26120G Lathe
- Hafco TM-2140G Lathe
- BM-63VE Milling Machine
- HMP-150T Hydraulic Press
