Machinist or Welding Small Project Help Needed

[WolfPackOne]

Hey Guys,

I’m needing some help here. The hydraulic nipple on my Kubota backhoe stabilizing unit snapped and I need to repair it. For some crazy reason it is a one piece unit and they want me to buy a whole new cylinder. Surely this can be repaired by cutting and welding a new nipple on. Any welders that can help me? I’m in Roswell and can trade with some cash, ammo, booze or old girlfriends.

Top pictures shows before and bottom pictures shows the break. It does not screw into the connector. Not sure of the pressure requirements either.

Thanks

Find a local hydraulic repair shop. If a hard line attaches, they’ll probably cut it off at the cylinder and weld on a new one. If a rubber line attaches, they can work with the end you have. Google hydraulic repair and/or forklift repair shops.

Another suggestion. You can probably drill and tap the broken nipple with a pipe tap and put a male end on the hose.

Thanks guys, I was trying to keep the commerce within the ODT group but I did end up with a local hydraulic guy that fixed me up.
How do I close this thread now??

How did they do the repair? It's crazy that the threaded part is fixed to the cylinder.

At the top right hand side of the post is a tab. "thread Tools" You should be able to close it there.

He "simply" cut off the connector and welded a new one on. Works great. Shout out to Sam at No Ga Cylinder & Hydraulics in Cumming.

Sorry but the only option I see in the thread tools is edit or who replied.???

I get how you feel. I hate it when it comes to this kind of work. I had to fix quite a few pieces of furniture during my daughter's wedding, and without a good drill, it was such a frustrating experience. Some chairs had to be screwed, and I was not happy after all to do the wedding in our garden despite my idea of saving money. So I looked up some quick reviews on https://powerdrillguru.com/best-impact-driver/ and headed to a shop to buy one of the most affordable impact drivers and get the job done as fast as possible.

21 and you already married off your daughter?
