Machining and Welding Silicon Bronze repair Caterpillar Dozer track adjuster cylinder | Part 2

Published 2020-10-30
This video is Part 2 of repairing and replacing a Caterpillar D10 Dozer track adjuster cylinder that has been damaged. In this video we are machining and welding to repair the damaged track adjuster sleeve. First we machine down the damaged sleeve surfaces using our TM-1740G lathe before mig welding with silicon bronze to build up the machined steel surfaces. Then the sleeve goes back in the lathe for machining the silicon bronze back to spec. We also finish up completing the track adjuster cylinder barrel by welding the cap end onto the new barrel that we machined and honed in part 1.

  • Hey viewers thanks for watching today's video Part 2 of the D10 dozer track adjuster job!

    When I go back and watch one of your older videos I'm stunned how timid Homeless is. Great job making him a happy well adjusted dog!
  • @jaredlipe-cd9tg

    I've been watching Abom79 for years now, and only after I watched snake, crocodile, 60 Minutes AUS, and wallaby vids did you come up. Great work, clean shop, and and beautiful dog! Hello and Happy NY from NY!

    Good to see the 4 legged Clerk of Works is keeping an eye on things.

    Am I the only one who is mesmerized by the turning of and milling of parts?

    I’m re-watching loads of these videos, there’s just so little content that’s up to this standard these days, I’m loving it! Some of them I’ve seen over 5 times now, but not so much with these earlier ones. According to YouTube I’ve already seen this one but I don’t remember. Anyway, keep up the great work, you’re both an inspiration.

    Love where this channel is going! Top shelf work from a machining and welding standpoint, excellent video quality, and a great shop dog:-) Keep up the good work!
  • Wow Homie is pretty patient, I guess he knows to leave Kurtis alone while working, because that's how food is bought, good boy Homie. I love dogs and he makes me smile every time.

    You do very good work! I've done alot of line boring and some lathe work. I was the one taking broken machine's apart, having them repaired and reinstalling back on the machine's. Nice to watch and see how the repairs are done!

  • @BrianJChelf
    Greetings from Illinois, U.S.A. Great videos, I know nothing about machining, but I love the precision work you do. You don't give us a lot of technical chatter, but I wouldn't understand it anyway. Keep posting you work. I love watching the videos.
  • Really enjoy watching you work. It is amazing. Never thought about a master machinist having to be a master welder. Learn something new every day. Thanks for sharing. From Lockhart, Texas USA

    The age-old crafts, executed with modern technology, by a true craftsman. I’m an electrical/electronics type; even so, I find these videos fascinating and inspiring.
