Want to buy some DIESEJL merch to help SAVE OLD IRON?

It has been 10 months since we bought this CAT 977L Track loader that had a rod knock. After messing around all summer can we finally get the engine out and move on? Pulling a 2500lb engine and torque converter is never easy!

  • score getting the engine out, having the tools to assist is one great bonus

  • Much easier to put the Teflon tape on if you turn the spool around and pull from the bottom instead of over the top like you were doing. That way you can just spin the roll around and around with your index finger in the hole! Love the video!

  • Great job you two. I'm looking forward to the engine build. You certainly use your head and think outside of the box.

  • Good job guys. I've really enjoyed following along. I'm working on getting a diesel tractor running. Eight trips to it so far. It's been a blast.

  • Need to get an old I-beam and make a gin pole on the front bucket of the loader. Kinda like forks you attach to a front end loader bucket.

    • ​@@dieseJLIH made some good quality machines back in their day. We have owned two IH 3/4 ton pickups, one from 1960 and the other we still use from 1972. The newer was ordered with a more durable configuration and has done very well despite being misused or abused by a past owner. Yet it keeps running.

  • you need to put the engines in pieces in a plastic tub of salt water. use electrolysis to strip the rust. since you have several engines you should just do them 1 by 1 in the same rig.

  • I kept saying (futilely) to the screen: “a six foot piece of square red iron tubing slid over one of the forks (secured with a bolt to the fork, and two to prevent load movement on the business end) would greatly increase the lifting range of the loader. (Makeshift boom)
