The old Terex 82-40 Dozer worked at the Heaphy coal mine for many years, it was replaced by a more modern Cat D9 15 years ago.
It hasn't run since it was parked up all those years ago so we are going to try and get it running, load it on a transporter take it back to the workshop where it will be restored by local heavy machine experts Browny, John and Bob.
I went along for the day to film the adventure.

When you see an old bloke in a boiler suit you know shit is about to get done. When you see two old blokes in boiler suits you know shit is about to get done….only slower….🤣
Ohh yeahhh...
West Coasters are a legend and a race apart.
hahaha :D
You missed the cup of tea in hand. Much deliberation to ensue.
Same all over the world. I never appreciated helping my grandfather fix stuff on his boat like I should have... Especially when one of his friends came around, because then it turned into two old guys standing aorund watching me work, cracking jokes at my expense Looking back now, I miss those times like hell. Old man would have loved Marty's videos
I would rather watch these old boys smoking cigs and messing with heavy metal than watch any sport. These are the real men and we need more blokes like this.
You always have the coolest videos. Im disabled in a wheelchair and can honestly say I appreciate what you do. Although I'm not actually there its the next best thing. Thanks for posting as I really enjoy watching
Thanks mate, glad you find my vids interesting
Marty can turn that wheelchair into a lawn mower.
@@scania1982 LOL
As a former diesel mechanic now also in a wheelchair these videos are a great elixir. I don't miss extracting seized bolts though.
I'll add my voice here as a fellow disabled guy, though not in a wheelchair (yet). Marty's vids are some of the best on KZhead for old wrenchers like me to live vicariously through. Keep 'em coming, Marty. Respect from New Hampshire, USA.
Dejavu at 6:00 with the sound of the West coast water ... unmistakable sound ... :-) Looks like an old bugga's day out ... come to think of it ... to get one of these old beasts going you would have to be a determined old bugga anyway ... good on ya's all ...
When you're as "seasoned" as these guys are, you're just having a good time.
Glad to hear grunting sounds while mechanicking is universal worldwide! 👍
Watching that starter motor go in reminded me why I stopped working on big diesels lol.
Just look at that gorgeous Euclid / Terex green proudly peeking through that hideous yellow paint!
Cheers to those old fellows swinging the sledge hammers!
Damn, Marty, the scenery all by itself is worthy of a video.
I can hear the smile come over your face when you say “what a monster” grinning from ear to ear……lucky bugger👍👍👍
@ 03:35 That was the most satisfying 'anti-seizing' sound I've heard in a long time...
Nothing better than watching a couple of old guys in boiler suits working on a piece of heavy iron on the side of a mining trail. You know that shit is about to get serious. These two characters probably know more about these heavy dozers than most of us noobs have forgot. Marty is a wise man to seek their knowledge and step back and watch and learn a thing or two. Besides: who enjoys laying under one of these monsters while it rains greasy dirt on you as you change out a starter motor????
Thank you, nice video and great project! Ron USA
Great video. I Enjoyed watching, Thank you.
Man, Marty T. What a view. Love it. Lucky Sir
Sweet Mother McGree... this is a playlist in the making!
Good to see the old guard working on the old machinery.
Boy does that bring back memories of previous jobs 👍👍👍
There a big monster of a Dozer. I operated a smaller Terex about the size of a D-7. Cant hear now. Because of those old Screaming Detriots...But they were good Engines...Great Video...
Great film. Brings back memories to see men working with a cigarette dangling. Love it.
Thanks again Marty have a great day.
Wow! Bunch of older experienced guys working under that thing...my back aches just watching you guys down on the ground! Those Aussies are tough people!!!
This is great. Good work.
That guy was well knackered lifting that starter motor up.
Your paths and roads are about to become a LOT wider!
LOL love the fella with the rolly hang out his mouth all day .... unreal these guys dedication to getting an ol dozer going good work Marty .... from across the ditch :)
You know your pulling some current when the jumpers cable are twitching!
Thankyou you Marty for taking us along with you on this great journey.......
I remember seeing jumper cables jump like that on a big boat engine. It was amazing! Love the videos!
d9 monster to pull that out.. these videos are testiment to how well machinery was built to start run after 50,60,70+ years. legends boys that fix these
That is a cool old machine can't wait to see the progress
Gotta luv the old timers 💪👍🇦🇺
I enjoyed listening to guys that know exactly what they're doing and have just the right accents to do it with. And now I'm off to git some fuckin' ether!
Ok CG kl CG is oh by oh jjhl JL CG h
Summed up by this video Spanner: Please come loose Breaker bar: I wasn't asking Breaker bar + leverage pipe: You should've listened Torch: Can't be stuck when you're melted
I live near Hudson Ohio and remember the Terex factory.
Cheers from Texas! Really enjoy your channel.
Hearing those old buggers saying "woo" as opposed to "whoa" to indicate the other person should slow or stop, that made me nostalgic for my childhood down south. Haven't heard accents like that for years lol
Man, old-timers in boiler suits just know their engines!
I could imagine Marty dozing a new track down to power turbine in creek bed with this Terex.Bird song would be drowned out with screaming Detroit.:)
How wonderfully Kiwi - get to the job and start by having a cuppa and a scone the missus packed; she's pleased to get him out from under her feet for the day!
Some tough old boys there for sure 🤠
Thats a cool old beast Marty, looking forward to the next vid!
.YOUR TOYS ARE GETTING BIGGER..LOL...GOOD ONE...
What a beautiful place you live in.
I agree with J Mac if the injectors aren't stuck it will be great!! All the best from Canada
That’s how they rope you in you know…Kit Kats 😂
Perfect for the in-town property.
a real piece of heavy metal
I love seeing this old American steel coming back to life!!!
So looking forwards to this Detroit powered dozer!!!!
Wow such a beautiful country
The engine turning on something that has been setting up, like this, is always pretty satisfying, to me, anyway. Not quite as good as starting it and getting it to move and steer, but it is a great start.
A Big Boy to work on!!!!!!!! Those youngsters work on the Bull Dozer... Are you sure they have enough experience to work on this machine!!!! HOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!
I’m sitting here on a cold evening in the UK feeling as sick as a dog waiting for covid test result to come back - your video is the perfect tonic Marty!
So was it covid Pete?
Thanks for sharing Marty! 👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Hell yeah Marty ur in the big league now!!
When I read the title I thought whoa now he's taking home a 40 tonner......haha.
Thankyou Marty happy holidays.
I always welcome a time lapse road or trail sequence. Your country is so beautiful 😍
Love an 2 Stroke Diesel as it just urks Power!!! Locomoties use this in their Diesel Electric Locos just brute force!! 😇
Seasoned, industrious ol' cobbers always have the knowledge! Love it! My Dad's the same, loves to tinker. Fantastic work!
The cussing and himming an hawwing of the extra mechanics is super proper. I love that shit. It shows basically how things are going and human emotion. You can fix damn near anything, but I am going to complain in the process.
Oh to be sitting in a pub with these gents over a good pint (or two) and just absorb the stories and knowledge from their lives. Great video, Marty!!!
Shit I’d rather hang with them at the job site
Love those old 8V-71 Detroits. I used to commute daily on an inland water ferry boat that was powered by one. Can't mistake that sound, even through the fog!
3:50am and clicked on Marty's new content.
Happy Sunday!
Who else thought Marty had bought a 40 ton dozer and just didn't want to tell his wife yet L.O.L. Thanks for sharing, I hope we do get to see more of this project when they do move it and get it running/restore it. Take care everybody involved in this one.
I figured the tracks around the farm were fixing to get a bit wider lol.
EXACTLY
I was hoping he has. Been interesting to see him get it going himself. One thing about having a dozer is whatever you own is never big enough. At least in my experience...
Ah that distinct Terex green color.
You know the jumper cables are moving more current than they probably should be when they dance around on their own. Lol
as an avid follower of Andrew Camarata apparently the algorithm decided I would enjoy your channel. I immediately subscribed. Good one!
Please keep me posted you guys ! This was very interesting so far ! Thank You
Marty T Commented 4 weeks ago just waiting for the fellas to start working on it, they've been busy
Those Detroit 2 strokes scream! One of my favorite sounding diesels
I am amazed at the amount of equipment you have that is just abandoned
The missus must have made you pinky swear to not come back to the house with another vehicle before letting you go on this mission. 😂
Love the progression from Leverage, to sledge hammer to gas axe 🪓 🤣 oh the joys of working on old machinery.
And a big thanks for taking us along bro, a real pity we could not hear the Detroit turning diesel into music but oh well. Safe travels down your way
Funny as it may sound, it makes this Yank happy that these skills aren't lost to time yet; love this channel for that and many other reasons. Thanks for taking the time to post this.
Thanks for watching mate
Heck yea, the lone wolf 5000 and Cosby sauce all in one go. SEND IT!!
Good luck hope you can save it worked next to one some years ago . When it was working hard you could hear that GM engine miles away. Thanks for Video from UK
Great vedeo fellas looks like in Australia 😃👏👏 that oldest bulldozer never died cheers from Norway 🇳🇴
West Coast of the South Island, New Zealand.
Great look at history and my hats off to those men who have the desire to keep it real for the next generation!
Thanks for the video
Great video Marty, you were working with a couple of hardy bucks.
When old men swear it rolls off the tongue so well between words that youre at the end of the sentence before you pick up on it.
I hope some kids today are actually excited about this stuff, else the likes of people with your skills will be a dying breed. Fascinating how, over time, the bits and bobs of learning culminate into being able to confidently fix these old beasts. What a pleasure to watch you guys work.
my 18-year-old grandson is going to lincoln tec. in Nashville TN., he has a passion to work on heavy equipment.
For moment, I thought you were getting it to your farm. The Lady of the house really woud'nt approve this time ! 🤣🤣🤣
That 'hat on head but barely' is such a old guy thing. My dad that worked on a farm for 30 years does it all the time
Marty's Vids are addicting. I'm retired and I can afford to watch him but if you're not retired it's advised that you use caution when watching them!
Old Terex with a V8 Detroit 2 stroke is pretty cool, but nothing beats an old CAT. Long time ago (before camera phones) me and some mates started and drove a CAT D9 that had been sitting longer than we'd all been alive. All we had to do was check the oil, clean the points on the pony motor, add gas, and that old dinosaur started right up like it was parked yesterday on what we could only assume was 30+ year old diesel fuel. That was a fun day. Loved the dummy starter motor for manually rolling the engine over. Will have to remember that one.
Belter of an episode Marty!! Proper two stroke as well!!!
Always a pleasure marty never a chore! She's a big bugger hey mart! She's gonna take some muscle just moving her around 😉👍
I look forward to all your videos! Very informative
If Marty is going to learn a thing or two I wanna be there.
Hi There. I owned and drove an 8240 for about 10 years. I had Start troubles with my one and I fixed it by putting another jumper lead between the drive platform and the main chassis. A matter of a faulty earth. They are great machines.
Wow those fellas are some old pros...couple hundred years of experience if you totalled it all up I reckon... Anybody can rebuild it my money is on this crew! Cheers Mart👍
The reason this wouldn't start is because Marty was behind the camera! If he was working on the old girl, out of sheer RESPECT, she would have fired up!
I can just imagine the reaction from Mrs Marty T “I’m off to an old mine with abandoned equipment lying around”.
40 T dozer. Pulls it home with his Hilux!
I honestly could see him working that out
You know you live in a rich country when expensive stuff gets abandoned.
Thanks for posting I'm going through a breakup right now and your videos are helping me wish me luck that we get back together
