We recovered this broken down old Caterpillar D2 Bulldozer in a New Zealand forest a while ago. There was water in the engine oil so we stripped it down to investigate, suspected blown head gasket.
We discovered multiple issues...
I don't mean this to be derogatory in anyway. You guys are the definition of shade tree mechanics! Old Cat dozers are my favorite. Makes me happy to see them come alive again
No offense taken, some of the best mechanics I know work under a shade tree ;)
two, possibly 3 (showing from earlier in the same room) people and they just laid the torch on the table, and even left it running while standing up, ya'll are crazy, keep it up man.
My husband and I like how relaxed you guys work together 👍
Nice work putting the valve retainers in! Very slick.
The razor blade in the vise grips was pure genius!!! Most under rated seconds of this video!
This is one of those awkward moments when you have to admit to yourself you are getting more excited watching this than a 100 million dollar film. When you wish you were there, with a few mates,a few beers, and a BBQ,putting the world to rights and exercising your minds and hands. The awkward moment is admitting that the age you got to now, you get more excitement out of watching a liner "pop" out, than the bare body of some starlet, or the villain spraying the room with bullets. Am i getting old or is this just the best therapy? Thanks, and on the edge of my seat waiting!
It is just interesting, start, middle and end , they get to drive and play! Awesome aye
No fancy intros or background music just straight to the point
And they know what they are doing, more so than a lot of us. I can take anything apart--it's the putting it back together correctly that I'm still working on.
@@k.r.baylor8825 Take more pictures; I try not to think about it but labeling things does help some people.
I’m still voting bare starlet
When I was in the military, back right after the Three Wise Men came through, I ran a diesel generator repair shop and we were brought in an ancient Cat that had to be fixed by Monday. I pointed out that we repaired diesel generators and this thing was a dozer. The Commander pointed out that he did not have a dozer repair shop but he did have me. By the time he left he had convinced me that if that dozer wasn’t fixed by 0800 hours on Monday I would be working on it as it was being delivered by a C-130. We got it done 0445 hours Sunday. What you guys are doing in the middle of no where is unbelievable. My hats off to you.
I've been following my uncle work with heavy machine since i was 12 years old, now I'm 29 and have my own workshop, working with those heavy thing is not easy and dangerous, 5 time got in hospital, it was a memories that i never forget.. Good job sir!
You guys are so funny. I absolutely love it. You find a random old tractor in the forest even notice. The head is blown and still remove it. I love that great job.
If TV had a channel with engine rebuilds, machine rebuilds and restorations I'd still have a TV
Popping that sleeve out startled me a bit! Good job!
I just shit my pants😂😂
Warms my old heart to you guys bringing one back from the dead. Cheers!
Seeing how much work it is to fix it, plus you have to know what you are doing, it's somewhat understandable some people would just abandon it and get a new one, if there's such an option. It's great to see it being fixed, though. At the very least it should have been recycled.
Thank you for rescuing this historical piece of equipment
I love how calm and relaxed you work on the machine. Great to watch. We Germans tend to go rogue if things dont go as fast as we want.
I hope Squatch 253 watches this to see how it should be done! I love both styles of working, I'm somewhere in between when I recondition engines or gearboxes. Great vid. Thanks.
It is funny to watch one end of the spectrum to the other, Squatch253 would be doing cartwheels when he saw them banging the liner out from the bottom of the engine.
Great work guys, thanks for documenting 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍
Cheers from Canada to my Commonwealth brothers! Kudos for your skills, tenacity and methodical approach to getting these old girls rolling again.
Boy does this bring back memories...
So wonderful to just watch something ‘normal’...I have been immersed for weeks in the Corona Virus data and I just can’t tell you what a mental relief it is to just see something normal and from before.
Dont stress about it man. It will be just another virus in a couple weeks
Yeah just like the Ebola scare.
Coronavirus has killed 600 people. Tragic I know, but the ‘flu kills 50000 a year, every year for at least the last 100 years. Potential Pandemics make great headlines, but a sense of proportion needs to be retained.
Loved this video.. reminds me of watching my grandfather repair and maintain his fleet of Cats (a D2, D6 and a D8 - 40's and 50's) - some a bit older than this one. Cheers from Winnipeg, Canada.
The beginning has begun. Nothing has been easy and you have persevered. Proud to watch progress. Soon parts will arrive and reassembly will commence. Thanks for sharing.
takes me back... my dad had his own earthmoving business when I was growing up. D6C, couple of D8Hs and later on D8Ks and high sprocket D7 and D8L I think. but anyway, we did most of our own mechanical work. this is all very familiar to me! cheers.
Expanding and contracting the stuck parts is a brilliant idea
That is how mechanics have done it since for ever.
@@Einungbrekke And just about anybody that works on old stuff!
@@JonDingle That is a mechanic. Don't have to go to school to be a good mechanic ;)
Thumbs up for the win. Watching from Tauranga.
This has become my favorite channel.
same
I like the birds and the quite voice of Marty explaining stuff, but have you seen the channel with the dutch guys restoring a tank?
@@tuneskramer69 I second that favourite channel and most relaxing and valuable. What’s the Dutch channel? please
@@benwinstanley101 Mastermilo
I don't know jack about engines, i've never done any mechanical work, save from changing oil and filters a couple times, so i don't know why this is so fun to watch.. but it is. it's fun to watch. nice video. keep 'em coming!
@@kingtut5923 Wise words. I'm about as mechanical as a Feijoa, but have learnt a bit from these videos. I'm a kinesthetic learner, so I appreciate this kinda material. Lots of people are though. -School only really works for a certain type of person I reckon. ➕
They tore the cat into bits. It surely was giving them fits. The head parts were seized. Add some heat if you please. The flame really gave it a hiss. Then on to the oil pan they went. The bolts were quite rusty and spent. The oil was a bit lumpy Which made them quite grumpy. The sleeve popped faster than they meant. And now we await part three. Bout the CAT that was in the trees. We'll stare at the phone. Hope I'm not alone. It's all good because it is free. From Texas, thanks for the fun. :-)
You have some incredibly good friends. The never quit attitudes from both of you shine throughout.
When you removed the injector chambers be happy they didn’t have glow plugs because you have to use different spacer rings to get them at the right angle. Worked on the assembly line installing.
Make sure to be carful when spraying break cleaner on hot metal as it can create extremely hazardous fumes. Love watching you work Marty 👍
@@Darryl603 don't forget "break"!
Inaccurate. First it has to be chlorinated, second it has to be exposed to intense UV, third it has to be exposed to intense heat.
@Paolo G They have both versions, and again.... it takes intense UV.
@@ShainAndrews Like welding. Do not ever use brake cleaner for cleaning parts or fitups for welding. Still wouldn't use it as shown though.
Good point, I always hold my breath around any kind of fumes or stay upwind, never know what is going to do damage
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this, reminds me of when I was a kid helping my dad working on our cars. Working methodically.
I like watching your repairs and fixes. Some of those valve seats and valves should have been replaced.
Excellent start to my morning. Wakeup and there's a video just uploaded. Kiwi stuck working in Ireland.
You guys are amazing, anybody else would take a torch to it and see how much they could get for the scrap. I love what you two do, REAL men.
great to see u re-purposing and breathing life back into old abandoned equipment.. love your work.. keep it up. (top stuff)
But after all the investment it is still JUNK!
This is the kind of work that is lost with my generation, love watching this and learning from the old school guys.
I just watched squatch253 pull injector cups last night. Looks like a legit pain in the butt! Loving the project so far!
Very nice project! The valves and the valves seat looks very pitted !
These videos are great, I love old equipment like this. It’s put in its work it deserves to live again.
Great job brother thank you for taking us along.
Your human ingenuity to overcome the obstacles you've confronted has been brilliant! We often take risks to complete a project, but the weight and mass of this could be debilitating. Be safe! Look forward to you bringing this toss away to life. Thanks.
That was great Marty T! Can't wait to see Part 3! Thank you so much for sharing!!! Happy Tooling!
Thanks, Marty. Looking forward to the next one.
I am along all the way on this one, from England, looking forward to the final part just before she comes back to life, i have never doubted you Marty.
With a head like that you could lap the valves with a drill on the stem and low speed up and down reverse forward. Works pretty good. Thanks for sharing...
Dear Darryl 603 That's what I instantly thought too! 2) In my opinion at least one valve seat will not seal up completely. The seats of the rusty cylinder should have been treated with a valve seat cutter. Best regards luck and health.
You guys rock . To do what you’ve done and watch reminds me of my grandfather as I was a lil boy watching him rebuild all kinds of stuff back then you didn’t throw stuff away like now but then again stuff back then was made to last and be able to be rebuilt if it needed to be keep up the great work and videos and thanks for bringing back good memories of my grandfather kids now a day wouldn’t get this type of stuff just so cool 😎
You guys are getting some crazy sense of achievement, at each and every mile stone, luv it!
Thought the injectors were never coming out. Great job, nice tricks to ease the pain. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the next installment.
I'd consider myself a bit of a rufty-tufty bloke, but when you're crawling around this beast, half jacked up in a "let's just get this job done" way, my back door was rattling it's hinges a bit. That's some heavy engineering =;-)) Nice, satisfying work, though. Lovely to see rescue/restorers at work; love anything pre-digital and this is nearer pre-historic!
No fancy workshop here. Done in the field like a true Kiwi lol. Just watching out for the No 8 fencing wire. No wonder it was abandoned. If you had to pay for the repairs, you might as well buy a replacement.
Pre-digital is so robust. For example, I can't stand digital washing machines. The circuit board almost always fails in humid environments before anything else. Mechanical controls are more reliable.
@@jycalcano5893 Trudat, mate.
@@jycalcano5893 Right here I have a tip for you, I like to use one of those laser thermostats to measure temperature on those washing machine circuit boards, if its below 20c under operating temperature = glaze it with silicone or 2 part epoxy, that'll keep it from corroding :D
Thanks Marty been waiting for No. 2 on this rebuild making great progress look forward to the rest of the build
I love heavy equipment, it has always fascinated me since I was a young boy. It saddens me to see a piece of equipment just sit and rust away, it's so wasteful. I guess that's why your videos caught my eye. It's very satisfying to watch y'all work and rescuing these old work horses. The first video of yours I watched was the one where you got the free excavator off the trail. Thanks for posting and keep up the good work. I'm definitely a subscriber to your channel now.
Thanks to this youtube recommendation i'm looking at Bulldozer engine parts which i have no idea because i'm in the health care field of work
Wow, that is amazing, finding this abandoned machine in the bush, then taking the time and money to revive this unit..
If you have the time and the inclination....
Perfect timing! Just got home and having some din and get to watch someone else work! Hahaha! Well done, sir!
James A Morning just having breakfast in England. Can’t wait to see her running.
@@bacilluscereus1299 Do not be absurd. I work hard. You sound the type who has his hands out looking for what he can get for free at the expense of someone else. Then when you get your fill off of someone else's work you put your hands back in your pockets and whistle as you lounge. Be gone from us!
@@bacilluscereus1299 Try Retirement boys. I can do this everyday....ALL day if I want. Getting old is great. Met my ex boss a month ago...Told him he's a effing ...something, Walked home laughing.
@@jamesa7506 Try a since of humour Jimmy . YOU are absurd!
Yes! Been anxiously waiting for part two. Love your videos
Oh Lord! Those valves need to be replaced! Too much rust damage on them to be trusted not to break or bend.
Great video. Great channel. Its encouragement for all of us to take on these projects. Thanks for filming steps we can all follow along.
This is great, nice job Marty filming and editing for us to see the process, it’s been years since this ol girls been opened up and looked at and cleaned
Glad to see progress is being made.
Getting on with it! Can't drop too much money into this Cat , can't wait to see the next instalment. I love a good serial!
My compliments to you. It certainly a project and you're willing to do it. I hope finding any replacement parts isn't a big issue. Good luck.
So I'm having trouble finding a mechanic willing to replace my car engine and you two are having fun rebuilding something in that state! good on you :)
Hmmmmm, Injectors froze up----Hammer Drill. Worked in a shop that did a lot of diesel engines in addition to marine pumps. We lapped using a slow speed drill and for these PIA parts that got frozen up... Some joyjiuce, then heat, then hammer drill and it made short easy work of things without any damage... Wow! There was a lot of gunk inside under that liner! Wasn't expecting that. Got a lot done.
One of the best channels out there , thanks for the videos
I guess there are a lot of people like me, just wishing they could be there, getting their hands full of grease and grime and bending a breaker bar to remove an injector. Love these videos. Good job you fellows.
Love seeing you using the wire brush. That's a must have for every shop.
thanks for sharing..interesting rebuild
cool i like your way of working around obstacles !
glad to see the ol gal will be up an goin again
Great to see you resurrect this old American machine. Glad to see you can still get the parts.
Looking forward to seeing part 3 can't wait to hear and see it run. Keep it up.
Brilliant Video, thanks for sharing
Lot's of work, keen to see the old beast run!
Pretty BIG Job... Loving the rebuilds...
Love that ad with the kids lol.
Absolutely hat off on everything! Aswell as filming ! And still in your calm stride ! Fair play chief
Is it just me or does everyone find it utterly satisfying for something to finally break loose and come out with a lot of heat and a loud pop?
Anxious to see the finished rebuild
I'm watching from the US. Lovin' it!
Awesome work !
what a mess, good to see you working with mates though!
Perfect for a friday afternoon and a couple of beers, cheers Marty.
This is an awesome contrast to Squatch253! Where he's performing surgery in a hospital with scalpels and anticeptic, you guys are doing triage in the field with duct tape and gum.
Speaking of Squatch253, I see no comments from him!
I prefer this type of rebuild. Squatch253 goes to far.
@@stephenhunter70 He's really, really busy. I'd be surprised if he even watches other channels!
I posted a link to this on his latest video
@@johnlemmey7698 I am 100% certain that Good Ole Squatch253 gives exactly zero "fracks" what you think. PS, you don't get to define what is "too far" on someone else's project.
Well done. I'm looking forward to see what you and your mate do next. 🇦🇺🍻👍
One thing that happens on other channels is they start buying massive amounts of new tools and machines. That's when they get boring. I like Marty because he uses common tools to do an amazing job.
The biggest diesel I ever overhauled was a 2.2 liter toyota L. Always and always would I want to take the engine I am working on out of the vehicle and refurbish the rest of the vehicle inch by inch.But this is massive by my standards.Anyway this is great.Thank you.
Glad to see an old machine coming 1 step closer to running
Great job you guys doing out there Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Mint vids dude, always a must watch
Amazing job guys..
Loving your channel Marty, keep up the good work mate.
Bloody brillant! Just got home from a day at college and I see this pop up!
‘Collage’?
@@tutekohe1361 college*
I always thought Tasmanian Hillbillys lived in the bush between Wayatinah and Ouse, and never went to school, let alone college :)
@@einfelder8262 My relatives come from Ouse! 😂😂
@@TasmanianHillBilly nice part of the world!
Excited for part 3 !!!!
Another quality video guys, love the work!!
Good work. I usually run a copper brush on a grinder to clean up the desk, but as long as it's clear that's the main thing
These videos are quality. Keep it up.
Just started the video and I already love it
Going well fellas,well done!
loved it i work on locomotives so this was cool to watch a fan from montana
Favourite channel full stop!
