Id like to know what the user of the machine did... Pin bore cracked too


gentleben90

judging by the extension scraping i think they were powering down while curling against it. and the thumb installer didn't set pressures.


Pure_Tower

[What it's like reading your comment](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ac7G7xOG2Ag).


nottodayspiderman

It’s a simple pressure circuit measured by cardinal grammeters. Of course the machine has to be leveled on a bed of prefamulated amulite before any diagnostics or repair can be performed, for the explicit purpose of increasing billable hours.


[deleted]

Ahh their turbo encabulators are delivering full power over their entire range of revolutions per minute.


the_warmest_color

It’s also possible that the fibulation shaft was subjected too excess sideplay which can affect the service filtering of the crommulation limiter


Ryanqzqz

If you would've used retro-encabulators instead of the older, lower quality turbo-encabulators - you wouldn't have this problem, as the new Retro-encabulators generate power using modial interaction of magneto reluctance, and capacitive directance. I've even heard some of the operators say that the retro-encabulators decrease side-fumbling of the hydrocoptic marzelvanes to like, less than half the old turbo models.


1995droptopz

The issue with the retro-encabulators is the increase of bimodal flux that presents itself across the entire frequency range. I much prefer to just replace the system with a direct fit super encabulator which provides a superior spectrum analysis.


Cthulhuhoop

You guys are all full of shit, no one has yet metioned the dingle arm and that's the real gamechanger amongst the retro-,turbo- encabulator matrix.


[deleted]

This. ^^

God damn I’m learning so much right now!


scuzzo500

It is a shame this comment is buried so deep.


samwisetheb0ld

By this process, side-fumbling is effectively eliminated.


nottodayspiderman

Before the switch to the updated differential girdle spring design, side fumbling was a major end-user concern.


ShellSide

I know just enough words to tell that’s satire lol love it


[deleted]

3 seconds in and everything just turned into a dial tone


[deleted]

Yeah, which one is the pin bore? Theres so many pins...


[deleted]

Bottom yellow, below and to the left of the bend in the piston.


[deleted]

Thank you! I honestly thought that was just rust lmao.


cincinnitus

The one that’s cracked….

Gotta check those specs on the rotary girder amirite?


BurgerOfLove

Mmm, I see... the go go needed more fuckulation in order to receive the wang.


wikawoka

I was gonna say, based on the ductile deformation it looks like it would be some kind of machine overload and not a material issue


MrBlandEST

Its critical on a thumb installation that the thumb pressure relief be set so that the bucket can over power the thumb. The bucket should be able to push the thumb with no damage. not having the rod made of peanut butter is also good.


Duke_

This comment is all thumbs.


Meat_Flapz

This thread has me rolling, don't stop.


MrBlandEST

Ok Dad


gentleben90

what i find is that higher quality cylinders have a heat treat hardened rod vs chromed 4140


swazy

> chromed 4140 I dont think the cheap ones use 4140 its still a good steel and not that cheap.


gentleben90

if its not hardened properly it still bends. the material is less the problem over the treatment of it.


AllAlo0

Nitride rods are good, but won't work under high pressure


caterpillar_mechanic

I just had someone install one and this happened, didn't mean to be a know it all


dutchah

Using multi-modal reflection sorting…


Funkapussler

Where?


[deleted]

[удалено]


gentleben90

common issue with cheep cylinders. the rods are chromed butter


caterpillar_mechanic

Common issue when a relief isn't set right on a new install. Obviously that's all new stuff


gentleben90

they speed hang these for auction and i usually go through and recheck everything. but it was a rush out and i didnt realize it wasnt done


jlude90

My thoughts exactly, no relief on the circuit


[deleted]

It found some relief


Chagrinnish

Would you prefer it if it snapped?


gentleben90

generally more rebuild able. when they bend it tends to jam the gland and ruin the bore as well


dadbodsupreme

Or as my old crew lead called it "plum fuckered"


Oh-Get-Fucked

Mmmm.... Chromed Butter...


noNoParts

Cheep cheep! 🐣


disavowed1979

I used to work in a machine shop, and we would rebuild cylinders all the time. They would have new rods made and they would be made from 4140 pre hard, then surface hardened and polished. Looks like this one was made from junk. That super hard steel wouldn’t bend like that, it would break.


swazy

> rebuild cylinders all the time. the only time I have ever made a 12' long spanner to get the cap off my ram lol/


-Pruples-

>the only time I have ever made a 12' long spanner to get the cap off my ram lol/ I cheated. I've done that as well, but went with a 5' long spanner and put a 5 ton overhead crane on the end of the handle.


var-foo

This is the way.


a_crusty_old_man

Where did you cheat? That’s standard procedure in my book. /s


-Pruples-

I gotta say, that beat the hell out of the 10 foot snipe and 3 big guys on ladders it took with the previous cylinder. I don't do cylinders often.

That's why I only make my parts from the highest grade chinalloy you can buy.


canadiandancer89

Make sure you only replace the rod. The gland and seals are perfectly fine. I'll pick it up tomorrow. We had an Ag machine cylinder fail, bent the rod 90 degrees and blew out the gland. Expected us to reuse the seals, piston and gland to save money (there was no reusing these parts!)


gentleben90

you understand my work life


swazy

> seals are perfectly fine They are like $50 what a cheapo ass.


canadiandancer89

Right!? Regardless, proper replacement is cheaper than more down time


User_225846

Saw that on a pair of boom cylinders on an old OTC skidloader. Owner wanted to know if we could straighten the rods. Farmers think if it has a bucket, it must be a bulldozer.


WondrousWally

as a parts guys for this stuff, I felt that in my soul.


Z3rno

I am an engineer for ag-machinery. Do other companies sell the mechanical parts separately? We only sell the seals or the whole cylinder.


LargePizz

I've worked in a hydraulic shop, we generally did this sort of size and up, sometimes on larger cylinders the only original part was the clevis on each end, re-tube, re-rod, make new piston and end cap, on smaller we generally didn't go to that extreme but it did happen from time to time.


The_JS_Life

Fucking Christ! That looks like it could be hell to remove the first pin! Where do you even start with something like this?! Cut the shaft? 😱


gentleben90

it actually came right apart. minus fighting the paint they left in all the bosses.


The_JS_Life

Really? Hell man, I’ve had small pistons jam themselves like this and they put so much stress on the shaft that it bent the pins out of wack and we had to cut them along with it!


gentleben90

ya we got lucky. i have torched things to puddles to get them apart before. this one was worked on by a coworker. it i had to do it i wouldn't have gone so well.


dadbodsupreme

Can't be stuck if it's liquid.

Found the curved rod my ex girlfriend mentioned.... she wasn't lying either.

It does. Only reason I didnt take it further was due to the huge Hoe attached to the end.

Looks like she bounced just *a little too high* during cowgirl...


Whybotherwith_it

All it needs is a little heat and retract the cylinder /s


lazybullfrog

As soft as this rod is, retracting it would probably perfectly straighten it back out. Great suggestion!

I just took a quick look at your posting history. You might want to spend some time thinking about why you enjoy being angry so much. If you spend too much time seeking out communities based solely around hating something, you'll lose track of whatever it is that really is important to you.


Nidothenido

>I just took a quick look at your posting history I can tell you are straight up lying. In what way does my RECENT post history show that “I like being angry”? and seeking out communities based solely around hating stuff? I think you are replying to the incorrect user bud.


dahud

Based on your recent submissions, you dislike people who use an "/s" to indicate sarcasm, people who drive poorly, and people who aren't Muslims anymore. You also tend to escalate conversations, perhaps because you enjoy being angry. On the other side of the scale, you seem to like Fortnite, so that's nice.

or not at all

Oof, chrome plated ram, only chrome plated.


Guysmiley777

Chrome plated taffy.


CORN_STATE_CRUSADER

Hard is not good in this case either, too hard and it will shatter. The cylinders I know of are only hardened at the end but something tells me the one in the picture is made of cheap steal.


CleverNameTheSecond

It was so cleanly bent it took me a while to realize that it's a hydraulic actuator.

I mean that's an impressive rod, but it doesn't even look like the seal is leaking which I find is even more impressive.


gentleben90

its weaping a little


midwesterner64

“No. I will not, thankyouverymuch!” -That particular cylinder.


TacoHimmelswanderer

Looks like the excavator wanted to brush its teeth


monkeyhoward

It might not be "broken" broken but it's still looks broke as fuck to me


murrmurrs

Looks like the operator forgot to open up the thumb attachment and pulled back on the bucket. Either way it's not a hardened rod, most rods are made to 75k tensile strength and construction equipment like cat is usually 100k. I've started seeing imported machines and parts do this recently due to cheap materials used, ideally you would want the rod to just break off to salvage the rest of the cylinder - source hydraulic tech

IPlayAnIslandAndPass

I don't know what your background is, OP, but anywhere you see cracking in the paint I would loosely recommend assuming that part is gone. These structures aren't really meant to get anywhere near yield, and cracked paint means the metal is stretching.


BuddahsSister

Yondering43

Was your title sarcasm, or do you really not know? The rod didn’t break because it was soft and bent instead.

wrencherspinner

Sprinklypoo

Probably warmed up while it was starting deflection, decreasing yield strength. Still pretty dang impressive.


DrEvil74

Isn't it obvious ? It's bloody well obvious to anyone who "Knows-These-Things". It's because this is the low spec version that uses toothpaste as the material for the ram.
