I heard about an old Bristol 25 dozer sitting in a shed in a remote part of the Marlborough Sounds for the past decade so I went to investigate.
The machine was no longer used by the owner so I paid $500 for it and I will go back there soon, give them a quad bike and try to get some of the other old machines running for them.
Thanks Reece from Supercheap Auto for supplying the toolkit used in this vid-

Watched one of these "will it start?" videos from the US. The yank never shut up with his loud voice. Kiwis and Aussies are such a refreshing change.
Americans can only blab out oh my goooood, this is insane,.A american baby is born the first words it says after looking around is "this is rediculous! looks at the doctor and exclaims ,are you for real?
I don't know if you'll like other types of "will it run" style videos but I find Junkyard Digs to be very informative with his and not very loud for an American.
Junkyard digs, mustie1,watchweswork,and a bunch of other ones are very good information videos and aren't loud at all.
Quite rude, hostile and ignorant aren't you? 👍
Also Diesel Creek, but he's got a range of stuff not just will it start type videos.
Ahh the subtle sounds of metal tracks.. wonderful old machine
Also love your dedication of greasing, most people well and truly overlook it or cant be bothered
SO TRUE. I LIKE PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE VS. CORRECTIVE! ✌️👍🌞
Genuinely makes me so happy
I just love this guy... these have to be the most relaxing videos on KZhead! I can't wait to see what he pulls out of the woods or a barn next!
You had me at Vintage Bulldozer! Yep, I'll buy it. Those things are awesome. I have no use for one, but I would get a load of dirt deliverd and play on it. This is what men do for enjoyment!!!!
I NOTICE THAT A LOT OF THE MACHINES YOU FIND THAT ARE NOT RUNNING IS DUE TO NEGLECT OF THE PREVIOUS OWNERS. I WAS ALWAYS TOLD THAT IF YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR STUFF, YOUR STUFF WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU. ANOTHER MARTY SPECIAL! 🌞✌️👍
Always great to watch and everything he attempts is always done at the best ability 🇮🇪.
Love your channel man you are very intelligent and know what your doing. Glad to see these antique heavy duty machines come back to life. It's crazy how good condition most of them are and how everything still functions for the most part. Cars and trucks of the same age require so much more.
Give this man any engine.. no matter how old.. he is going to run it perfect.. 👌👌
I am glad to see that there people prepared to put time, money, and energy into giving new life to old machinery.
I enjoy your calmness.
Even when you nearly took out the garage. ;)
Enjoyed it. Thanks for taking me along.
So is the begining of your constrution company you have a digger and a dozer lol. Nice find i am sure we will see more of the dozer.
@@rufushowe3885 that is for the lawn care part of the constrution company lol.
Scruffy 61 Now, he needs a dependable dog, like Levi, to travel with him. Angry Ram is not very cuddly. He’s only friendly when being fed.
@@Poppi2006 lol.
@Joshua Dowling by no means am i knocking him at all i would love nothing more than to see things go good in any endeavor he does.
Man, I just love vintage "will it start" videos. You captured my subscription with the Excavator. Thanks for the videos.
This is great for watching n relaxing. Your approach, execution and attitude is so relaxing and comforting. Nice work Marty👍
Sweet little dozer. It's great to see some old machinery given life and a job again. Thanx for sharing Marty!
I enjoy watching you bring these old treasures back to life after sitting idle for a long time ! Great Work ! Keep doing your KZhead videos .
Another great video, Marty 👍. To the commenters who are worried about the tracks squeaking. This tractor is from before sealed and lubricated track chains were invented, so the pins and bushes run ‘dry’. When you can’t hear them squeaking, thats a cause for concern because that means mud, clay or rock dust has gotten in and is creating excessive wear.
I am always amazed at what you accomplish with some of this old, abandoned equipment. Thanks for the video.
The Mustie1 of New Zealand! Great wee dozer! Cheers for another great piece of (local!) content!
the vw king lol
I was thinking more of Squatch253. Does a lot of old Caterpillar restoration videos. He's rebuilding a D2 block right now.
Robert Breeden thank you for the recommendation of Squatch253. I was wanting to find another KZheadr like that to watch. Do you watch Andrew Camarata?
@@relanejr Can't say I've seen his stuff. Glancing at his videos though I'll have to check him out!
i watch both squatch and mustie but i directly tought of squatch as well
Brilliant - love to see how you fix her up in the coming months. Lovely little machine that. Best wishes Andy - West Sussex England
Awesome! Be perfect for mountain jeep trails. Great video.
Congratulations with your new bulldozer, looking amazing. Thank you for sharing your amazing story. God bless you and your family
You make it look easy Getting it going And getting it home Fun to watch
Lovley, those old machines really are built so well and so straightforward to maintain. I bet you get years of work and satisfaction from owning it, for the price of a weeks hire of a new one.
I love watching you rescue "vintage" machines. You do a great job. Sounds like it needs to be lubed. 🤔 lol
Beautiful scenery on the way to pick up the dozer... you live in a beautiful country...and you got the dozer home.....looking forward to seeing what you do with it
Another good one Mate , lets see More of that little Dozer ! Loyal fan in Nashville , Tennessee
I'm a fan in Nashville too.
@Stimpy&Ren true 😅
22 hp according to Tractordata. Hard to see how you could get very far with that.
Well done for finding and saving another piece of our industrial heritage...
Hey Marty, you are building a nice collection of old machines! I enjoy watching you resurrect these old machines
Excellent find ! Antique Iron, you've got to just love it.
Always fun to watch you and these old machines. Thanks for letting us take a look.
You would find a gold mine here in America. These old machines are sitting everywhere.
Awesome, Would love to see a Video showing us all of your Old Machinery you've collected and brought back to life
I can tell that you really enjoy what you do. By sharing your adventures with us, joy is brought to many thousands more. Thank you very much for sharing. The only thing that could be better would be if I lived next door and you would ring us up and say, come on mate, let’s go pick up an abandoned...........
Great stuff Marty T! That old Austin sounded sweet even without a muffler. Thought you were going to go right through the shed there for a moment! Keep up the good work, really enjoy this type of content.
A pleasure as always... 👍
I love old machinery, this is great stuff!
Marty you are really good at what your do cause you could have a machine that's been sitting for decades and be like" alright today we are gonna get this 1926 ford model t running its been sitting for 40 years but i have faith"
Great work as always and good to see you had a little help with this one, especially on the camera.
Great find and good luck with your restoration...know you can do it mate, patience, persistence and can do attitude.
Another great find and rescue hope all go,s well with the restoration.
These videos are incredibly satisfying to watch
The title states "will it start"? Certain to start once Marty has his hands on it- best wishes from retired digger driver in Sheffield UK
Cool machine. I was surprised the carb didn't need to be rebuilt. Thank you for sharing, great video.
The best I've seen so far has to be the Hitachi Excavator in the forest. I am impressed. Good find and better yet, the work to get her running, walked out and the rebuild on the pins and getting it to 80% functioning. Good on ya... all the way from California's High Desert, USA! GOOD JOB!
The moment it seemed to get stuck in forward and you were right by the garage. Brilliant !
I`d say that sweet old girl was tired of being a Barn Princess; started right up & wanted a ride to her new home !
I am from Germany, -so I got the automatic Translation put on if the sound got too difficult to catch... Every time a motor starts or machine is running, it quotes : *"Applause"* or *"Music"* . Which is exactly mho 😂😂😂. Nice little Dozer. I’d call her Doozie😏🤓
Just loving what your doing to save long forgotten earthmoving equipment. Looking forward to the next installment. Greetings from Woomera, South Australia. 👍👍🇦🇺
Love to see these Old machines got to go again well done mate
Fabulous recovery, thanks for sharing
Was worth the trip down. Great little machine!.
My favourite KZhead channel (well, you and Primitive Technology) Much respect for your skills in reviving old mechanical gems! BTW That's a beautiful part of Aotearoa you're in by the look of it!)
Another handy machine added to the collection! Nicely done mate!
Marty T does it again! Well done. Can’t wait to see you put it to good use.
Nice work Marty, Keep up the videos and thanks for sharing part of your life with us. 👌
Yay another rescue and project. We are not forgotten 😁
Nice job Marty. What a great little dozer. Reminds me I need to go thru my Bombardier J 5 before winter starts. Keep the videos coming, really enjoy watching!
Steven Semanko What is a J-5? Hello from north east Montana.
Heck yea man great buy look forward to the new Project
Love this, my father bought and old 1960's mini backhoe like 15 years ago, hydraulic drive tracks and I think it's an 18 hp Onan engine. Still no idea what brand it is. It has a custom weighted blade and no hood lol. As small as it is it's still like 6000 pounds. Every friggin time he used it he blew a hydraulic line. After replacing them all he was able to dig up his well and septic tank for service. This is exactly the kind of shit my father would do until recently. (now he's too old to do this).
Another amazing find and recovery. Love this channel
You can really find the old classic plant marty . Excellent job , personally I would be in my element finding and bringing the old decent machines back to life . I love a challenge to see them all back to working , clean , well maintained condition . Keep up the excellent work . Nz seems to have a lot of classics around everything from cars, lorries , plant , bikes . Judging from what ive seen on the tube . A restorers dream is nz .
Finally equipment with a ownership title. Bravo!
Marty T, cleaning up New Zealand one forgotten piece of heavy equipment at a time.
Cool brother. That thing is awesome!
After watching some of your videos, you have acquired some nice equipment for personal use. Although they would not stand up to hard big time use in a construction company, they are certainly good for the home owner, and will last a long time, with good maintenance. I really enjoy your videos, and greatly appreciate you taking the time to make them.
That is a nice little crawler. I look forward to seeing it in future videos.
Can’t wait to see more videos of that dozer!
You are a brave man backing that thing of the trailer.
Collection of toys is growing. I love it! :D Make sure to film the work with their other machines.
This must be the deal of the century for sure. Good luck with the machine.
Great little find mate. You never know what you’ll find until you go looking.
Wow, what a great deal ! I wish I could find one like that. Nice little dozer.
Love your vids mate always something out there to keep you busy
Your workmanship is phenomenal getting what other people would call junk back to work again, and all so calm with that wonderful Kiwi countryside surroundings
Marty T I started watching your Older videos cause I can'nt find others to watch. Take care.
The old 2.1/4 litre Austin engine was just about bulletproof. I had one in an old LD van that had done almost 300K miles and still ran sweet .Oil and filter change every 5k and regular plugs and points service was all it ever needed.
Its great SuperCheap Auto is helping out with these videos. I might go in there for my next tool/oil purchase I reckon.
Haha that thing sounds like a tank from ww2 when it moves with all the squeaks
It could have aspired to be one considering it's nz, home of the Bob Semple
Thought the same ha
@@fenderOCG Nothing can stop a Big Bob.
I was thinking ww1 !
Sounded like equipment to me?
Back in the early 90's I was living in Washington state. Several friends had picked up old dozers from the early 50's that the blades only went up and down. They were too heavy to haul around and with those one way blades you could buy them for around $800.00 to $1,000.00 They were real handy to have and most ran good. Several friends dozed off house pads with them and leveled driveways. This film which I enjoyed brought back some good memories, thanks!
Just saw the same machine in Petersburgh NY USA, for sale $5000. Well done sir.
Love the work you do before you try moving them. Looking forward to more videos
Tool set is awesome. Thanks Reece from Supercheap Auto!
I like the way you paid attention to detail and just didnt go in there with a set of jump cables and see if it would work. You were very methodical and gave the old machine a nice freshen up before attempting to crank it. My dad would also put some oil the gas of an engine that had set for a while. He said it would help lubricate the upper cylinder and valve seats. It never hurts to properly lubricate things. Nice work! I enjoyed the video
I love these videos. It’s really neat to see you resurrect these machines from the dead! And the birds singing at the beginning when you started working on the bulldozer are absolutely beautiful. I don’t hear those in Dallas Texas.
Lol, I wouldn't say it was dead. It needed fresh fuel,a new battery and some lubricant.
Great job so nice to see someone do it the right way meaning check plugs a little lube in the cylinders drain the fuel before trying to crank the engine over.
Ahhhhhhhhhh Marty, I thought we would see it in action my friend. 😃
Marty, I gotta say you did give me hope on an old Skytrak 5030 lift that has not run in over five years. I had to flush all the fuel lines and injector lines and the fuel tank. I got her running but something was still sticking in the injector pump. I put a bottle of Marvel Mystery Oil in 5 gallons of diesel fuel and ran that for about ten minutes and that cleared up whatever was stuck. Now it runs better than when I bought it 13 years ago. I also found that brake cleaner shot into the injectors clean them out real nice.
Bro sick little machine. Love ya videos man always look forward to them.
Really enjoy your KZhead channels. Keep the videos coming!
no bad for a dozer with record 12 years on the dole well done bro!!
Great job of strapping it to the trailer!
Just shows that if you are willing to put a little work in and hunt around for it ! 🙂 Engine sounds decent, believe it will be a good asset for your place ! Getting a nice collection for not much money! Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
How says you have to spend thousands to have some toys around to play with. I like his collection of equipment every thing runs and does its job.
well that rig started up pretty sweet..tks for sharing..
I absolutely love these videos. Makes me feel like I can do something like this too.
I love it how you do so little, it may be hours, to get a machine running that has sat for so many years.
That's a sweet crawler. Reminds me of my brother's Oliver Cletrac.
that red debris in the fuel is Rust. you can use a super magnet with a hole in the middle.. some solid copper wire twisted thru the hole to let you retrieve it with a hook.. the super magnet will pull all that Red dUST to it.. keeping it out of the filters, pump, carb..
wayne p crate information
A coarse inline fuel filter and a neodymium magnet attached to it is great at trapping rust. Plus you get to see what comes out of the tank.
@@otm646 I actually use 1984 Corvette fuel filters because they're 10 Micron rated and catch all of the Dust except a super super fine and a magnet catches that
hello Sir. Even needing a bit of work you have to be the luckiest Man I have ever seen. I have been watching for a bit now,Love your channel. Has always I Liked,Shared,Added to playlists. Keep the videos coming.All my best.
