Will It Start After Sitting for 25 Years??? Caterpillar D6

Love those three cylinder engines. They sound so good. That engine makes an insane amount of torque at a ridiculously low RPM. You gotta love it.

I just love to hear that old iron come to life and clank about.

One hell of a Testament to CATERPILLAR Tractor Co

Good to see another video from you Kyle 👍

Glad others noticed that X231 piece. Christmas present for Squatch maybe.

Like the dig to x231

Nice X231 SIGN...I hope youre watching Squatch...lol...thats a good one Kyle

A crawler that will run is a huge win!

Not a bad old machine at all. Cheers

Another one saved , awesome, good job guys 👍

Always poking a little fun at Squatch!!!!

Now that would be good to watch at spring plough day with a nice 6 bottom plough behind it.

That drivers seat is big enough for a 21st century Midwestern adult.

really exciting to see brings back fondest of memories…‼️ thank you stax 👊🔥🥂 🪖

Awesome beast! Congrats on starting it!

13:05 excellent, excellent content. Thank you.

Good to see you reserecting another old girl love them

Nice the see the crawler out for a rip in the field! Too bad about the mag... Thanks Kyle.

X231, 😂😂😂 excellent. Lovely new machine, love the video.

when tractors like that came out it made life so much better for farmers

Enjoyed the video! The diesel was smoothing right out after it ran a bit!

Hey Kyle… Kyle Here! Borke would get confused when I commented on his Channel? Any way. Git my name in 1959!!! After Kyle Wrote Sr. He was a soccer player in the 50s named a son as Kyle Junior, who also played some sport I can’t remember. But anyway, again, you keep bringing stuff home like that you’re gonna get up on Squatch!

Just found your channel and Subscribed. Very nice dozer.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family Kyle!

Thank you for putting your time and effort into these old machines and sharing them with us!

My D7 pony motor carb was cleaned and washed with muraitc acid then baking soda washed

Good tosee another video fro you kyle bro 😊

Get those mag rotors re-magnetized, being this old it is probably the issue. On those cast carbs I like to give them an additional bath in evaporust after the carb cleaner, Seems to make them work much better. They also look way better as well.

Looks really clean from the inside and im sure the issue has to be timing in the pony motor. I had the impression most of the CAT pony engine carbs where all single float only, this one has double floats? It dose sound awesome and I bet it sitting in a shed has some advantages over it being exposed to the elements of mother nature. I'm sure the spear engine will provide all the things you need and the rest you can always sell to someone else.

Wow nice very sweet power unit unique oil pan most I've seen have been crawler pans and some even had the dash provision that have been used on lumber mills side by side with Detroit engines

Thanks for sharing

I used a 1939 Caterpiller D8 on a long clearing job among timber clearing land. Great old dozzer. In state of Oregon 1980s.

A tug start in the dirt is always a good time. Sounded ok to me from the UK. Cheers

Jon is something else!

Happy New Year Kyle 0:18

My recollections of mag timing is; install at timing mark, anti-rotate engine one half to one full turn (depending on number of cylinders) to allow catch dogs to engage then rotate as normal to start. The catch dogs hold while winding up a sring which when released snaps the magneto to produce a hot spark. But I'm old and quite forgetful!

Going well which is good.

Had one like that in our cattle feedlot to clean the pens. It had been a push Cat in a quarry and was set up with a cable lift blade off a D-8. The blade was too big and you couldn’t cut a smooth grade with it because when you lifted the blade the backend of the Cat would lift and then at a point rock back and dump a pile of dirt under the blade. But with a couple of disk blades welded on the corners of the blade for skids you could push manure all day long. If you didn’t have the timing on the pony motor just right it could kick back and the crank would break your arm..

Hey X231 I think 🤔 that a yellow thing a sasquatch has 🤪

kyle's new toy

I miss your videos. Are you coming back?

Im an operator. And an old one too. Compared to the joysticks today, that thing will give you a workout

My Dad retrofitted a John Deere two cylinder mag to work on ours.

Love the video love these cat videos

I have a d315 power unit in my Bucyrus Erie 15b cable shovel. One of my favorite machines to run

Its Great to see the Internals looking like the day they left the factory !! Phenomenal somehow

5:28 "full Nelson" love it. I wonder if others will get it.

Good video

D6 Looks just Great as it is - think it might be a shame to Renovate it as it looks like its still a Prime mover working Tractor !!

I bet the identifier on the seat pan caused Squatch to let out a guffaw!

Subtle Kyle....sooo subtle! 😂

I saw X231, looks like Squatch253 was there.

Old iron rescued. Nice vid Kyle. The mega stove keeping the shop warm like you expected?

My d6 #2H8575 has those same steering clutch lever extenders on it. Was that a factory option?

Hell yeh it’ll start!!

its so cute.......do they make one for adults?

Sweet!! Runs smooth and fast for an 80 year old Lady 😎🤠

Great machines. I had one of these many years ago. The only difference I can remember is that mine was an RD6, 1935??

Diesel engines have a long history yet for being used in anything started in the twenties..... that said, their getting started up and running can be a challenge. In those days, everything was made for its intended use and so if you went for a belt for your own waistline, They measured you and then cut the leather to fit you. I could go into a long spiel of who, what and where but your already aware of most of this knowledge. I am amazed on how a diesel engine pump is designed and how they work, and all the engineering that went into making those first engines. Now days, a place called Area Diesel service does repair or fix any issue encountered on making them work again. To say how much more that area diesel service provides for anyone is just off of the charts and so if you need the proper mag for this engine, they find someone who does it or do this stuff themselves. " A honest one stop shop" and you can't find better people to take your problems to. Their youtube channel of that same name is enough to convince anyone of their talents. Another place where such issues can be repaired or find pieces and parts is C and C equipment with same name youtube channel. Clint is overworked and yet seems to find time for anyone serious about this kind of machinery is the wealth of King Solomon. No matter where located, these folks mentioned will go out of their way to help folks. That last one mentioned is a great channel for entertainment

Paint the inside of the cast carb bowl with fuel tank sealer to prevent corrosion

“What happened, John.” “I don’t want to talk about it , Kyle”. LMAO !

Great video sad that mag broke but 🤬 happens buddy I’ve done and seen worse things 😂 thanks for sharing can’t wait to see more vids When you pull start one of these can you start the pony motor also by pulling the dozer I’m gonna guess you could I just wondered if it would stay engaged to the flywheel

The mag issue is just cleaning pickups , condenser n points change maybe a ground , for warming up just run the pony it blows heat in the intake as well as shared coolant , that'll warm the head that's why it was designed like this,

I had 2 of them,--- both were 1936 2H models.

When Squatch gets burned out on X231, again, think maybe if we keep at it we can get him on the……………..ROCK CRUSHER!!!!

I sold auto parts for about 15 years. GOOD LUCK in this town, finding ANY solid core wire, bulk or otherwise, and GOOD LUCK finding spark plug terminals and boots "in stock." NAPA, once the apex example of auto parts, is a joke here locally.

Hi Kyle, is there going to be anymore restoration videos on the Cat D4 you were involved in some time ago?

Use some pb blaster on them stuff .

Isn't that an rd6 I thought only the rd6 and the rd7 were built with the 3 cylinder engines

Just checking in, everything ok?

Looking at the injector pump,I thought i t is four cylimder!

Wait, you talk crap about the previous fuel line and then wrap the new rubber line in a loop around the exhaust manifold?

I remember the time my dad found out that International made different final drive ratios in a TD-9.

That the frist i seen. A 3cinder cat engine . Plus. I thought all cats was diesel ⛽️

X231?!

why you guys din'twait till midnight to do that!!!!!

Fill the power unit up with diesel . Let it sit .it will unstuck.

In the worst scenario, restoring earthmoving equipments, grounds upwards , will cost 50%of the price of a brand new unit.

Marvel mystery oil in fuel and oil lubricant everything

I have a 1937 RD-4 with a winch for a blade on it I'm keeping the dozer but I want to get ride of the winch. It a farm tractor and not a push dozer. The winch works perfectly. I don't want to take it off and have it sitting around. If you know anyone that needs it have the make me a officer.

The worst thing with CAT engines is the fuel injection system. Replacing it with electronic fuel system would, definitely, solve the problem.

This is huge. Discovered a quantum stove here man. Charles Darwin or Eienstien of wood stove. Normally wood stove loses 80-90% heat. It is completely possible to upgrade every wood stove 10x or 100x even 1000x. Trick is to harvest most heat out of the hottest part of the stove, put heat exchangers on basically inside the hottest part of the stove red hot, have a car radiator inside the wood stove or 10 car radiators getting completely red hot, with the ability to have fans blowing through them. Like that one time in star trek when red necked up warp drive system was hill bill figured it out. Use best heat exangers as possible out the exhaust system, should be able to harvest 99%-100 of the heat, a lot better than normal wood stove losing 80-90% heat normal heat stove.

Pretty nice looking 6. Seems to be very complete. What’s the plan for this one? 🥸👍👀🔧😆✅
