Build an Excavator from Scratch

[pufferfish]

Todays work was a repair of the stick cylinder. Before the final assembling i've made the mistake to pull the rod complete to the end. During normal operations this never will happen due to the geometry of the stick.

At the end of the cylinder the piston collides with the oil input flange


thereby the piston seals get damaged



To open the cylinder i have to loosen the head. Sealed with loctite 542 thread sealant it just needed some hot air



After replacing the piston o-rings and refilling the oil then thread sealant is applied


Now I have to wait 24 Hours before the glue is cured.
