Hey viewers thanks for watching today's video Part 1 of the D10 dozer blade tilt cylinder rebuild series. There is a lot of work in this but for the price we got it was cheaper to rebuild than buying a whole new OEM cylinder 😎👍 Subscribe and hit the bell icon to turn on notifications so you don't miss our weekly uploads. 👇 🤳 Follow us online here: Instagram instagram.com/cutting_edge_engineering Facebook facebook.com/cuttingedgeengineeringaustralia/
Would you ever go over costs in a video? How much the cylinder cost, how much in materials used, how many hours labour and then compare with new cylinder cost? Would be interesting to know how much your customers are saving. Have you ever had the situation where you have bought a used part to rebuild but then found cracks which made it un-economical to repair?
Hello Kurtis and the video lady, and "Homey", is almost surfing 🏄♂️. Great video Kurtis just as I like it, when I was an apprentice we worked in the Big "3Ms" factory and I was hooked watching the Turning, Milling and a Large Shaper working in the tool room. Allways enjoy watching your videos, please keep them coming, looking forward to the next one, 👍👍👍. Best wishes Geoff Lewis, Wales, UK, 🏴🏴🏴.
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering 😅😅😅. Love the no nonsense of Kurtis,,,even the outtakes are all serious, well with the occasional,, j,,,,,,s ch,,,,t,,,,lol. 3am can't sleep, whats Kurtis and shopdog up to,,,,,brill from Scotland...
Friday evening in central Germany, a rye whiskey old fashioned and some peanuts, Halgrim, the 40 kg German shepherd at my side and the projector putting up a 6x8ft image of Kurtis, Homey and a big bunch of metal. Man, life could not be better. Thanks to you three for making life great!
It is always impressive that you are able to part off the sections so exactly. Easy to tell you have done this once or twice. As funny as the outtakes are, it shows how hard you are trying. Keep up the great work, it is definitely appreciated!
For a younger guy, I am envious of your knowledge and ability. In my 50 years in machine shops all around America, I have seen only 3 "naturals" with you, I have seen 4! "Naturals" never have to tell anybody how good they are, it is obvious in their work. I watch your videos in anxiety and your missus does a fantastic job on the videos, the safety man is good also, what a team! Perfection all the way. Thanks for sharing Kurtis. I have been in the plastic mold and progressive die work most of my life and many years in job shop as well. I now work for a construction company (at 80 years old).making new parts to replace obsolete and no longer available escavator and dozer parts. A pleasure to watch you in action! Thanks the three of you!
Hey Frank wow mate thanks for saying so appreciate the great comment! Good to hear some of our viewers background and glad you enjoy the vids. Cheers, Kurtis 😎👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering glad to state my opinion Kurtis, I always watch you and the missus and the safety man. I am learning from you valuable information. Cheers, Frank
My grandfather taught me there's many ways to fix anything, don't listen to the knuckleheads who only sit behind their computer never getting dirty. Looking forward to part two.
Hi Kurtis, I’m a retired chef by trade, so nothing to do with your industry........but absolutely fascinated watching a quality knowledgeable craftsman at work, thanks for all the explanations as you go through the process. Always wondered how crack testing was performed, now I know. Thanks again and keep up the great content excellent work by you and your significant other👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. Let’s not forget the safety officer👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you Curtis, Giggler and the Security Officer! It must be really satisfying to complete all aspects of the job, not just do one element and pass it on to someone else. Thanks for the crack test demo.
Found this channel just recently. The skill and ingenuity on display is amazing. Also appreciate the higher level of video production. Cheers from Canada.
Yes I worked on D10's , I never had to rebuild on of those cylinders, I always thought it would be a pain with all of the brackets on it and the step, fun to see you break it down into parts, cat was good about some engineering specs of parts. good stuff thank you.
Love your channel. You use just the correct balance of fast forward, slow mo and normal speed to allow us greenhorns to watch and marvel at the skill and hard work it takes. AND I really appreciate your clear explanations of what is going on (outtakes notwithstanding). Thanks for letting us take in a view.
I'm doing a job right now that's kicking my arse up and down and every which way. I took a break and found this video to watch. I'd describe it as a ZEN moment! Seeing how that piece of junk is methodically disassembled on the lathe blew me away and gave me a feeling that anything can be solved and worked through. Can't wait to see it finished-- clearly a craftsman producing great results.
Kurtis, I'm glad you know what you're doing - I am suitably impressed. By the time it's finished it'll be just like Grandad's axe! Great video production, you and the Missus deserve a medal. Loved the Safety Officer bits.
Nice Kurtis, always wanted to operate a D 10! Remember years ago I bogged my HQ stationwagon, Bloke in a Cat scraper pulled me out and made a track for me to get out, my 3 year old son was pretty impressed.
That's good. I don't have enough nerve to get in front of the camera. I love the videos lots of good useful stuff. Your on the right track of telling the haters fuk off.
Another great video - good explanations. This heavy work is impressive - you will be in business for a longtime with the quality you put into each rebuild!
@@CuttingEdgeEngineeringi have to agree with both you and David, because i have seen the pride and extreme attention to detail that you put into each and every single piece of equipment that you repair/rebuild and it would not surprise me if the parts outlast the machine they’re installed on
Hi guys just love your videos, as a retired manager over machinery I do appreciate watching this type of videos. You guys do a great job.. Be safe...thanks
CEE, for me this has been one of the most interesting videos yet. Looking fwd to Part 2 with all of the out takes and your canine star. Video work is outstanding!
Your outtakes are both funny and interesting to show you are human. Obviously your forte isn't public speaking, but precision machining. I'll take precision machine any-day over public speaking. And the dog videos make it all great. Thumbs Up!

Crazy to see the work that you put into these builds/rebuilds not hard to see why these super heavy machine cost a bucket load to buy and run quality video as per usual keen to see the series!
Hey mate thanks for watching. Yeah some big money in earthmoving gear, the size of some of the machines is incredible. Just me here and the missus doing the "business" side of it all
Nice last year went on a big trip around half of Australia and seeing some of the mining machinery blew my mind and got me into watching videos like this so fascinating to see what goes into it all. You’ve clearly got a keeper if your missus is all behind the camera work and edits very talented love the way the videos are put together and edited
Hi Kurtis and Karen, Kurtis, almost didn't recognize you clean shaven. Do like your machining skills. Enjoy the videos and the outtakes are the icing on the cake. Looking forward to part 2. You all stay safe.
That surprised me, I wasn't expecting to have so many usable parts. I thought for sure it wouldn't be worth saving with all the materials involved, but it seems like a good investment now. Especially with the price of a new part.
I'm not sure what I'm more jealous of, the smooth electric hoist for moving the heavy stuff around with, or the forklift with BOTH working brakes and forks that don't require a 20lb sledgehammer to adjust
I like how you keep tapping things when your trying to talk. I do the same thing and I know so many other engineers who tap and fiddle with things while talking.
I'm an engineer...I have tons of shit on my desk that's there for the sole purpose of fidgeting during meetings and whatnot. Drum sticks, fidget spinners, pens (love assembling and disassembling them), hacky sacks.
When cutting that barrel, then the high art is to know when to stop. Else great misadventures could happen. Watching your expert work is really addictive. Greetings from Germany.
Hot Spanner, now that's a new one on me! Kurtis, you should make a thread where people can list all of the names and regions where different names are used for the Oxygen Acetylene or Oxygen LPG gas cutting torch.
I'm here to watch the dog clips and noticed the other guy on the video does amazing work lol. Subscribed and can't wait for the next very well done video.
Awesome work! Thanks for demonstrating how the dye check crack detector works. It seems like an easy but effective process for what would otherwise require expensive x-ray or ultrasonic detection equipment. Thanks for sharing. 😉👌🏼
A lot of the enjoyment of this channel is the work of the editor. Her timing in changing speed is brilliant. She must of had experience previously. Like her giggle. She seems to only allow one giggle per episode. Will we get to see her face?
Hi Paul thanks for saying so! I actually don't have previous experience but have always enjoyed photography. For now i'm staying behind the camera I like to be a bit more anonymous 😊 The Missus
Yes! This is going to be Epic. I hope y'all are safe during this very active earthquake event in New Zealand. I figured that you either had factory specs from the manufacturer or you speced out parts on your own accord.
We are all good here in Aus haven't had any impact from those earthquakes. Factory OEM don't like to give out the specs so we make do with what we get most of the time 😂👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering even when I worked for Caterpillar they didn't like to share specifications. In the late 70's we had a problem getting replacement pin sets for the earth movers and end loaders. I don't remember why but we decided to start remanufacturing the pins ourselves. We tried several different processes but finally landed on a MIG welding process that had a hard facing flux included in the wire. We perfected the process so well that it gained the attention of Corporate Caterpillar. We gladly explained how we had done our research and overcame our failures. After giving our presentation we got the copyright and patent infringement blah, blah, blah. Then came the real meat of the program. Fellows we appreciate your hard work in developing the process but we have one big issue with it all. Can you back off of it for a couple of months so we can sell the pins off the warehouse shelves first? Boy were we relieved! We thought we were getting sacked for sure! Man those were the days. Keep up the fine videos and give the giggling videographer a raise in pay for putting up with you! Be mindful to keep nice cool water in the executive swimming pool too! Thanks for the videos and keep up the fine work! Terry from South Carolina
Hey Kurtis, and Kurtis significant other That was an absolutely amazing video of machining, videography and explanation of procedures thus far.... Bloopers is fucking hilarious too🤣
Another excellent show with bonus content of sand blasting and the tiniest bit of the missus on screen! Can’t believe I have to wait another week for part 2!
SaftyOfficer needs his own channel! We need to know about his daily rutine. Is he a good boy, does he know he is a good boy. How often do you say he is a good boy.
Wonderful! Great recovery of useable parts. You're methodical in this work. Love the outtakes, especially how your "coach" gets the right discription from you. The pup seems quite at home. Great "trio" . Thanks.
Top job Kurtis!! I will say, the outtakes at the end are one of the best parts. As well, the chemistry between you and your wifey on camera is awesome. You both seem to have a lot of fun, even when it gets aggravating. Lastly, your dog is living its best life. That pup has it made!
I just want to say thank yall for taking the time and energy to film and share your work. Your channel and work are very inspiring, I am looking at changing careers and never realized how interested I would be in this side of the heavy machine repair industry. All of your machine work is so relaxing to watch, its art and science..
Is it just me, or does weld have a different sound when he's cutting through them on the lathe? like the weld chips have more paper crackle to em, whereas the rest of the metal tends to have more springy 'ring'(?) to em...
@@Ramsay_za it is harder in a few different ways. first the material the wire is made from superior materials to the steel it will be fusing to, second the way the grain structure is in the weld is far different to regular steel as the grain of the metal gets massaged and rolled out when it gets manufactured where as welding is more simalar to cast metals due to the way welding processes work, third it is a bit like hardening steel due to the nature of welding it heat treats the weld however this does mean the weld is more brittle as it hasnt been annealed
@@Ramsay_za To add to Drew's response, all of this actually depends on composition of the base metal, filler metal, pre-treatment, post-treatment, and how the metals respond to heating and cooling, especially in welding where the heating and cooling are localized to an area and not a full-part cycle like you see in heat treating. Metallurgy and material science are more complex than a one size fits all description of a single occurrence of an application of a presumably known filler on a presumably known metal. Most fillers you use on mild steel will act this way, but the outcome is entirely different if you're welding on a 303 stainless, as that will also be entirely different than welding on an annealed (pre-treated) 304L stainless, and that's before getting into alternative metals like aluminum. So while the response works for mild steel with a typical filler, the response would be incorrect in any other combination of base metal and filler. I also don't agree with the, "... superior materials,' part of the comment, every material has it's use and no material is superior unless you're seeking a very specific attribute of a material; it's similar to the strength argument of materials, there's no one simple answer because 'strength' can have multiple meanings, typically rigid yet brittle or flexible yet doesn't snap as an example, or how much a material can elongate before ripping as another example. If you're actually interested in metallurgy and material science, etc., I'd suggest researching it on your own and seeking out someone who has actually studied extensively under the subjects, or just outright studying it yourself. Rather than seeking answers from armchair experts, e.g. RUclips comments and Reddit threads, which is prone to leading to misinformation, e.g. 'superior materials.' You can also judge if someone is an actual expert or an armchair expert by relative knowledge and use of basic grammar, things like proper sentence structure, correct spelling, correct use of punctuation, and correct use of lists; as a truly educated person is typically better composed in communication, as proper education in communication comes alongside proper education in the subject, how one presents themselves and their arguments is important to deducing how knowledgeable they are in general, and thus how knowledgeable they potentially are in a specific subject. Seeking better knowledge also allows you to crosscheck armchair expert knowledge, e.g. 'superior materials' again. At the end of the day, it's better to do your own research using trusted sources, e.g. peer-reviewed studies, that don't spread misinformation.
@@xaytana Great replies by everyone. One thing I know about armchair experts is that, even though a person isn't using the proper form of communication, they usually use some key words that will help the self-motivated search. Key word here is self-motivated. Ya gotta want to learn and do the research rather than just accept the first thing that you hear.
Sitting in the morning team meeting on Fridays. Gaffer: anyone got anything else they'd like to talk about? Me: there's a new CEE video up so can we just stop there?
Great technique using the lathe to "Layout the Fabrication", and inspect it at the same time, as you say eliminates multiple handling of the job. Fair amount of abrasion damage on the cylinder, though noticed someone gave it a coat of paint. Sound business practice to source work, great work both. Thanks for sharing.
Anyone who focuses on doing a job fast has no interest in doing the job right. That cylinder was pretty well fucked. That was a explosion waiting to happen and I would not want to be anywhere near it either.

I'm an engineer...I have tons of shit on my desk that's there for the sole purpose of fidgeting during meetings and whatnot. Drum sticks, fidget spinners, pens (love assembling and disassembling them), hacky sacks.
@@someusername121 what else are pens for?😀👍
When cutting that barrel, then the high art is to know when to stop. Else great misadventures could happen. Watching your expert work is really addictive. Greetings from Germany.
Another great video thank you Kurtis.
Over here in Ireland the gas cutting torch is often called the hot spanner.
Awesome mate! Thanks for watching cool to hear terms used in other countries 😎👍
Hot Spanner, now that's a new one on me! Kurtis, you should make a thread where people can list all of the names and regions where different names are used for the Oxygen Acetylene or Oxygen LPG gas cutting torch.
Aidan McParland, I also use the term hot spanner as to what the job entails.
Cheers from John, Australia.
Really enjoyable mix of knowledge, machining, safety officer, giggles and funny outtakes.
I'm here to watch the dog clips and noticed the other guy on the video does amazing work lol. Subscribed and can't wait for the next very well done video.
Thanks for subscribing the Safety officer shop dog appreciates it 🤣🐕👍
Awesome work!
Thanks for demonstrating how the dye check crack detector works.
It seems like an easy but effective process for what would otherwise require expensive x-ray or ultrasonic detection equipment.
Thanks for sharing. 😉👌🏼
Great video as always. You're really good at explaining what you do and why. The only bad thing is that
I have to wait for part two =)
Hey mate thanks for watching! The wait will be worth it 😎👍
A lot of the enjoyment of this channel is the work of the editor. Her timing in changing speed is brilliant. She must of had experience previously.
Like her giggle. She seems to only allow one giggle per episode.
Will we get to see her face?
Hi Paul thanks for saying so! I actually don't have previous experience but have always enjoyed photography. For now i'm staying behind the camera I like to be a bit more anonymous 😊 The Missus
Yes! This is going to be Epic.
I hope y'all are safe during this very active earthquake event in New Zealand.
I figured that you either had factory specs from the manufacturer or you speced out parts on your own accord.
We are all good here in Aus haven't had any impact from those earthquakes. Factory OEM don't like to give out the specs so we make do with what we get most of the time 😂👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering even when I worked for Caterpillar they didn't like to share specifications.
In the late 70's we had a problem getting replacement pin sets for the earth movers and end loaders. I don't remember why but we decided to start remanufacturing the pins ourselves. We tried several different processes but finally landed on a MIG welding process that had a hard facing flux included in the wire. We perfected the process so well that it gained the attention of Corporate Caterpillar. We gladly explained how we had done our research and overcame our failures. After giving our presentation we got the
copyright and patent infringement blah, blah, blah. Then came the real meat of the program. Fellows we appreciate your hard work in developing the process but we have one big issue with it all. Can you back off of it for a couple of months so we can sell the pins off the warehouse shelves first? Boy were we relieved! We thought we were getting sacked for sure! Man those were the days. Keep up the fine videos and give the giggling videographer a raise in pay for putting up with you! Be mindful to keep nice cool water in the executive swimming pool too!
Thanks for the videos and keep up the fine work!
Terry from South Carolina
Funny how parts look so different after sand blasting, naked somehow. Can't wait to watch part 2. Thanks again.
Hey Kurtis, and Kurtis significant other
That was an absolutely amazing video of machining, videography and explanation of procedures thus far.... Bloopers is fucking hilarious too🤣
Hey Terry thanks for watching mate and we appreciate the great comment! Cheers 😎👍
Karen, I swear, you get better with every video!!
Love the machining, but the outtakes are the best. 😂
I agree! 😂👍
Coming up on 100K subscribers! Sweet.
Yeah crazy shit!!!
Another excellent show with bonus content of sand blasting and the tiniest bit of the missus on screen! Can’t believe I have to wait another week for part 2!
hahaa thanks for watching mate. Yeah we promise the wait will be worth it! 😎👍
I’m only 1:10 seconds in; but I can already tell this is gonna be a quality video!
Thanks, Kurtis.
Cheers from BC, Canada
Apprentice needs a new chook
Hey mate thanks for the support over there! Probably a bit cooler where you are 😎👍
lol Ontario Canada here ;)
You’re a master with a cutting torch! All your parts follow apart while mine always had slag holding them together. So your the king. 👑
Cheers team, 👍👍 Kurtis you do an excellent job of explaining the "what and why" even if it dose take you 50thousand goes at it 😂
🤣🤣🤣 cheers mate glad to know it's worth it in the end 😎👍
SaftyOfficer needs his own channel!
We need to know about his daily rutine. Is he a good boy, does he know he is a good boy. How often do you say he is a good boy.
"The F'ing F'ers' F'ing F$#D!"....... Solid Gold Kurtis!
Nailed it 🤣👍
Kurtis, I was just down at Bondi Beach and did some crack testing. I saw a few things that needed my attention....
Brother your killing me with the bloopers.
My work here is done 😂👍
I'm like 60% here to see the safety officer lol
Come on we know it's more like 90% 🤣🐕👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Truth. 90% at very least. What a good pupper!
And the outtakes 😂😂😂
Wonderful! Great recovery of useable parts. You're methodical in this work. Love the outtakes, especially how your "coach" gets the right discription from you. The pup seems quite at home. Great "trio" . Thanks.
Hey John thanks for watching mate and the great comment we appreciate the support. Cheers, Kurtis 😎👍
Top job Kurtis!! I will say, the outtakes at the end are one of the best parts. As well, the chemistry between you and your wifey on camera is awesome. You both seem to have a lot of fun, even when it gets aggravating. Lastly, your dog is living its best life. That pup has it made!
10:55 you have nice nails for a machinist mate 😉
Yeah never skip manicure day 🤣👍
His wife does them and while shes doing them if he moves the dog growls
I just want to say thank yall for taking the time and energy to film and share your work. Your channel and work are very inspiring, I am looking at changing careers and never realized how interested I would be in this side of the heavy machine repair industry. All of your machine work is so relaxing to watch, its art and science..
Is it just me, or does weld have a different sound when he's cutting through them on the lathe? like the weld chips have more paper crackle to em, whereas the rest of the metal tends to have more springy 'ring'(?) to em...
Hey mate you're spot in it does have a different sound and machines differently. The weld is a harder material
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering now is that due to the composition of the filler or the way in which it cools, i.e. annealing it would reduce the hardness?
@@Ramsay_za it is harder in a few different ways. first the material the wire is made from superior materials to the steel it will be fusing to, second the way the grain structure is in the weld is far different to regular steel as the grain of the metal gets massaged and rolled out when it gets manufactured where as welding is more simalar to cast metals due to the way welding processes work, third it is a bit like hardening steel due to the nature of welding it heat treats the weld however this does mean the weld is more brittle as it hasnt been annealed
@@Ramsay_za To add to Drew's response, all of this actually depends on composition of the base metal, filler metal, pre-treatment, post-treatment, and how the metals respond to heating and cooling, especially in welding where the heating and cooling are localized to an area and not a full-part cycle like you see in heat treating. Metallurgy and material science are more complex than a one size fits all description of a single occurrence of an application of a presumably known filler on a presumably known metal. Most fillers you use on mild steel will act this way, but the outcome is entirely different if you're welding on a 303 stainless, as that will also be entirely different than welding on an annealed (pre-treated) 304L stainless, and that's before getting into alternative metals like aluminum. So while the response works for mild steel with a typical filler, the response would be incorrect in any other combination of base metal and filler. I also don't agree with the, "... superior materials,' part of the comment, every material has it's use and no material is superior unless you're seeking a very specific attribute of a material; it's similar to the strength argument of materials, there's no one simple answer because 'strength' can have multiple meanings, typically rigid yet brittle or flexible yet doesn't snap as an example, or how much a material can elongate before ripping as another example.
If you're actually interested in metallurgy and material science, etc., I'd suggest researching it on your own and seeking out someone who has actually studied extensively under the subjects, or just outright studying it yourself. Rather than seeking answers from armchair experts, e.g. RUclips comments and Reddit threads, which is prone to leading to misinformation, e.g. 'superior materials.' You can also judge if someone is an actual expert or an armchair expert by relative knowledge and use of basic grammar, things like proper sentence structure, correct spelling, correct use of punctuation, and correct use of lists; as a truly educated person is typically better composed in communication, as proper education in communication comes alongside proper education in the subject, how one presents themselves and their arguments is important to deducing how knowledgeable they are in general, and thus how knowledgeable they potentially are in a specific subject. Seeking better knowledge also allows you to crosscheck armchair expert knowledge, e.g. 'superior materials' again. At the end of the day, it's better to do your own research using trusted sources, e.g. peer-reviewed studies, that don't spread misinformation.
@@xaytana Great replies by everyone. One thing I know about armchair experts is that, even though a person isn't using the proper form of communication, they usually use some key words that will help the self-motivated search. Key word here is self-motivated. Ya gotta want to learn and do the research rather than just accept the first thing that you hear.
I cant believe i'm watching this quality content for free, that said thanks Kurtis!
Hey mate thanks for watching we appreciate it! 😎👍
Sitting in the morning team meeting on Fridays. Gaffer: anyone got anything else they'd like to talk about? Me: there's a new CEE video up so can we just stop there?
Nick receives employee of the month award 😎👍
A good start to another rebuild. Awesome.
Glad you enjoyed it mate 😎👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Always, thanks.
Posted 26 min ago, thats what I'm talking about
😎👊💥 watching early
Great technique using the lathe to "Layout the Fabrication", and inspect it at the same time, as you say eliminates multiple handling of the job.
Fair amount of abrasion damage on the cylinder, though noticed someone gave it a coat of paint.
Sound business practice to source work, great work both.
Thanks for sharing.
Has the boss made you get the razor out and shave that fluff off your face? 😂😂😂
Was getting nagged by many people 🤣🤣🤣
The audio on this video is fantastic! I’m wearing AirPods and I can hear the birds squawking on my left. It’s so cool!
The boss needs a bigger pool.
Yeah he tries his best to swim in it 🤣
Yayyy another quality and interesting video to watch on a good friday. Can't wait for part 2 👍👍. Have an awesome weekend ahead
Enjoy the vid mate!
So, I’m guessing the director said, no starting with “so”.
She edits it out 😂😂😂
Love those outtakes and the dog grunts! Look forward to part 2
Thanks for watching mate 😎👍
Anyone who focuses on doing a job fast has no interest in doing the job right. That cylinder was pretty well fucked. That was a explosion waiting to happen and I would not want to be anywhere near it either.
You've got that right mate. Thanks for watching
