Todays job in our machining shop we have a Caterpillar 785 Dump Truck outer hoist cylinder that has a seized head gland. We need to try and save the $15K hollow chrome tube by machining out the seized head gland. The cylinder tube also has an internal buttress thread for the head gland that has been damaged by rust and we will do thread chasing on the lathe to repair the buttress thread.
