Steering cylinder guards always look promising!!

The repair vlogs are some of my favorite videos on KZread. Thanks for your hard work putting these videos out!

The outer casing of your cylinder will be damaged by the angle iron sanding against it. This will go well for a while, but I already saw the beginning. Make sure that the corner profile cannot touch your cylinder by putting an u profile around the protective corner profile. This will prevent the corner profile from touching your cylinders. I like to see that you can find a solution for many things. My compliments.

Something as simple as a u-bolt around the cylinder would give the outer casing enough protection and those are cheap to replace.

You can easily edit these types of videos to make it seem like you got your shield design right on the first try but instead you show us step by step your trail and errors. Thats what makes your videos stand out from the rest. Feels genuine and we all take a ride on this engineering roller coaster. Awesome work!

The proper and permanent fix would have been to use a collar wider then the steel plate over those threads that the nut could tighten against. The intent is for that guard to continuously rotate back and forth as the wheel is turned. No amount of Loctite* will ensure it stays tight.

Good ole 🇺🇲 ingenuity on the fix 👍Comment section is saying the angle iron will eventually rub & wear out the piston. not bad for a temporary fix, I would every now again slap some grease on that angle iron until something more durable could be fabricated. Henry Ford would be proud of you! 🧐👍

very honest!:)

It looks like the outer most nut where the bracket is held on is going to loosen up because the end of the bracket is moving. That movement, over time, will cause the nut to come loose and fall off. You might drill the bolt and put a carter pin in it or use a nylon aircraft nut with wire. You don't want to have that come apart while your driving it. The tire and wheel would turn out abruptly and cause an accident.

A clever fix for the cylinder. I love the sound of the old Ford tractor engines. It was so distinctive.

i love the amount of dedication that went into this

Awesome! a new Camarata video!!!! Keep it up man! Also thank you very much for answering my questions about the storage container studs and ceiling.

I bought my first tractor at 55 as I was getting tired of renting and paying others. I find your video very informative.

I think you did a excellent job on making that guard didn't like your first choice on the axle, was happy to see you thought of another idea. You have awesome ideas when you are fabricating, a couple things I would just like to mention cast iron can be welded very good by the right welter. And it takes a professional welder to do this task, but myself I much like you I am a backyard welder and I can weld Meg and arc not too good with Tig . But there is something I want to mention to you not only you I have seen many many people make this mistake they do not unhitched the battery when they are welding you do shorten the life of the battery because you are so sending a positive power right through the battery from the ground. Just wanted to mention that body I really appreciate all your videos you are very gifted man and I watching all your videos and I love them thank you, so much for all of your education that you have gave me.

You are the best Andrew. Have a nice weekend!!

Wowza I didn't even know this was a new video! I thought it was an oldie that popped up in my recommended! Love your videos man!

The first video I ever watched of yours was when you put the grill and protector on this tractor, been watching every since. Thanks man, and Happy Birthday Levi!

This is a valuable video. It shows Andrew teaching himself. Instead of things just going perfect and Andrew making it look easy. This is trial and error. This is the valuable process of learning and it proves Andrew is no different than anyone. You gotta want to learn. He wasn’t born knowing innately how to do all the stuff he does.

Great job and happy birthday to Levi, all the best, Steve in Thailand.

I was watching a different video but when that notification pops up... instant click!

Levi is till looking good, a little slower these days, as are all of us that getting long in the tooth!

Really cool to see the process of engineering a guard. Thanks for sharing this.

Damn Andrew, back at it again with the uploads!

ahay mr.andy... perhaps a couple U bolts(4) around axle housing that hold a thick 1/2 or 3/4 plate. That way the crap hits the plate below the steer cyl. letting it move back&forth unincombered. sometimes simple etc. ( u bolts off rear axle of your tandam dump)

Man, this video helped me so much on my new Holland 1630! I couldn’t find out how to get the cylinder lines off and your tractor is similar enough to show me how. Thanks!

Awesome fix Andrew... Great Job

I really enjoy your vids bro very relaxing 30mins off freing the mind I like these kinds off job weldone awesome job bro👍🏼😁

Good job with the guard, Andrew. I like how you put some grease in between the two metal plates, so they are somewhat protected when rubbing against each other. I think you also need to put something to shield the hydraulic cylinder, though. When the tractor turns Right, the angle iron rubs directly onto the body of the hydraulic cylinder - you can already see the line where it is starting to wear out. Ideally, putting some sacrificial plastic piece to shield the cylinder should fix the issue.

Thanks for showing the real world challenges in fabbing something and not just the end result. . .been there ('cept I usually burn time instead thinking out all the design alternatives upfront). An alternative design for the keeper would be a piece of thin flat bar wrapped around the cylinder with ends bent 90 deg, holes drilled through near the ends and then use a bolt to clamp it around the cylinder. Then to one of the ends of that, weld a washer or flat bar with the hole in the same direction as the cylinder bore (i.e., same direction as the axle runs in terms of orientation). Then run a round bar through the washer hole and weld it to the the angle iron. As the wheels are turned left and right, the rod will keep the angle iron from straying away from the cylinder ram it is supposed to be protecting. There might be so much travel that you can't wrap the cylinder with the flat bar. ..it would bottom out too soon, and so instead you'd have to weld the washer on the pin holding the other end of the cylinder. In fact, that would be an even easier fab. It could be that a downside is that the round bar would get bent as stumps and stuff impacted it. But as long as there was enough clearance in the bore of the washer and the rod, it should still allow it to work.

Thanks for the video Andrew, as always, great content

every time it goes lock to lock, it loosens the nut, you need a spacer bushing that the nut can tighten on but the guard can float on, trying to tighten it solid on a bolt that pivots will never work and will leave you stranded

Man i wish I had pictures of some of the tractors the YPG had retrofitted for mine clearing in Syria. Things where so cool, used parts off bombed out tanks. Even had a bulldozer that was remote controlled they they could run right down the road and just take down a building that had sniper hides in it.

Levi, have a great birthday! Interesting project for your mechanical mind but nothing you can't handle, thanks for all your hard work and time on camera angles and editing.

The hydraulic cylinder was poorly protected from the New Holland original design. They had two choices: 1) Do it right and add some cost to tractor. 2) Design it like they did and have unhappy customers that buy more hydraulic cylinders to replace damaged ones. Good job once again Andrew.

Love your videos man !
