In this restoration video me and Rob Rojas recover a 1953 John Deere #40 bulldozer abandoned in a neighbors yard for 20+ years. With some help from eBay and few rattle cans we get it running like a top!!! Rob did all the hard stuff! Thank you and enjoy!!
get your ice pick here!

  • I'm a lead technician at a construction John Deere shop, I've been wrenching on equipment professionally for 20 years and Jimmy about 6 years gave me the inspiration to get back into creating outside of work versus creating and repairing at work. The things my kids and I have learned that I apply in my day to day, be it at work or at home just by watching his videos are immeasurable. To wake up this morning and see him giving this piece of American history a new lease on life has got me so excited and has reminded me yet again. Get off that couch and do more, go outside your comfort zone and learn more, create more and just do more. Thanks Jimmy for inspiring us all!

    • That is so true! I was just thinking while watching this vid how much inspiration I've gained over the last few years from the likes of Jimmy, Bob Clagget, Marc Spagnuolo, Neil Paskin, Adam Booth, Chris Salamone, Quinn Dunki, James Clough, Wesley Treat, of course Adam Savage, and so many more than I can list right now. Things like how to visualize a project better and order of operations, just for starters. And "Thank You!" Jimmy, for inspiring and energizing so many of them!

    • Now you understand why John Deere kept the two cylinder for so long. They wanted the average low education farmer to be able to fix it with the basic tools they might have on the farm. And for it to last a lifetime. Have a 1950 John Deere m 2-cylinder except for the starter still running all original for mowing the roadsides around my property

  • That is so cool!! love the old John Deere crawlers!! I STRONGLY recommend that you get a flapper cap for the straight pipe exhaust!! We used to have an old massy tractor from the '30s (as a guess) that my dad and grandpa would start up in the summers just to tool around on. it had a straight pipe that needed the CAN put on. One year, the can blew off and the rain went into the cylinders and rusted it up tight. I still feel a loss for that!! I was just a kid, but that was a lot of fun! thanks!!
