---------- After a short vacation I've save up enough point on my patience account to begin with the last two hydraulic cylinders. Patience is needed because me and turning internal threads are not friends. fortunately, this time it works at the first attempt and some other parts are build too. Pistons and guide rings from brass, rod and cylinder from stainless and the cylinderhead is from aluminium. (nothing to weld on the head and very easy to turn) The head is the most complicated part. Internal thread and a recess for the guide ring on the inner side. thereby the guide ring is oil lubricated. On the outside are three grooves for o-ring sealings. Threads will be sealed with loctite 542.

Re: Build an Excavator from Scratch
Todays work: The completion of the stick cylinder.
After applying the orings i've prefilled the cylinder with oil The thread was filled with loctite after 4 hours the glue isn't 100% but for a first little test tight enough but before, i've made a hose-guard from 5x0,3 stainless for the hose to the front the last cylinder for the bucket is prefilled too and can't wait to mount him The cylinder and stick in action you can see in this little clip (self hosted) https://blog.rb-fotos.de/wp-content/...es-stick-1.m4v (moving from the nineth second on)
