Not only That: I startet to get more relaxed about my own projects as well! and thats priceless. To be ok with " It works, lets try it out and leave the details fot later" is way more fun! He is absolutely right about projects need to be fun and not "to do lists"... Musti1 is also such a guy. he laughfs everything off that went wrong and rather get on with it, instead of talking himself down about failure.. . Thats a gift!

How does he not have a million followers. In a world where every KZreadr goes over the top with time and money this man does what every other man on the planet would do and gets it done while painting over the rust and dirt. Fine adjustments indeed my guy. Looks factory fresh to me.

As mentioned earlier, the bolt holes in your blade are for fitting a sacrificial cutting edge to so you don't destroy the bucket. Always enjoy your videos! More!!!

Add a umbrella mount to the hoist tower & set for summertime comfort

I could watch literally hour's of this. Now I realize anything mechanical is possible........ Thanks for the show.

Here's an idea for using the tractors hydraulics & still being able to listen for parts snapping. You could put an accumulator in place for the hoist. That way, you still have pressure for a bit after shutting the engine off. It looks like you have plenty of space inside that frame.

I just realised your the Bob Ross of cunudgering (cunudgering - assembling things in a way that you are having fun and making something useful)

This man is the ultimate high priest of janky genius. It takes incredible know how - both factual and instinctual, to see the potential in what others see as scrap, build the possibilities part way in your mind but mostly as you go, and have a sense of what you truly must get 'just right' vs what is "ok for purpose"

Best looking Tractor/loader/engine hoist I've seen. As an aside, I have to tell you how useful I have found your mantra of "If you're not having fun, you're doing it wrong ". I have been doing various repairs on my car and this mantra has made me stop when the fun stops. Not having fun? Stop and have a cup of tea and a think. Works wonders for this tea drinking Aussie lady who is 71 and still fixes her own car. 😊👍

I'm a simple man. I see Low-Buck posts while I'm at work; I automatically save for later and enjoy afterwards. Keep up the spirit of ingenuity and honest content.

Hey look it is everyone's favorite junk yard engineer shop teacher . I am about to pick up a 97 F250 truck & I am going to follow hos lead on this project.

a starter motor, reservoir, hydraulic pump, all electric pumping for the manual hoist, quieter, more fun

I've heard that a power steering pump will make decent pressure, just need a bigger tank.

Bob Ross combined with Scrapheap Challenge 👌🏻

This channel is an almost perfect mix of education and entertainment... I wouldn't mind having this guy as a neighbor-- something I can't say about all of the channel moderators that I watch!

Always a pleasure to watch.

You could use an electric driven hydraulic pump to run that hoist. That way you can lift easy and still hear everything that's happening.

That hoist needs an electric winch for quiet lifting after you set the boom height with engine hydraulics. I love the heavy hacking that you do. looking forward to the Low Buck Mine!

lol everytime I see someone driving one of these little loaders, I always picture them going "warp speed Mr. Zulu!" then creep along....😂 "I joost cont do it captain! If I poosh her much more she's gonna blow!"

The Oliver is becoming one of my favorites among your machines! That was an impressive and much needed mod you made!! 👍Your dog is so obedient! 🐕😉🤣😂

You built a very useful rig there, and it looks pretty good also👍, btw, you should hook it up to the pump, thanks for sharing.

Mr Low Buck, loved the video regards Rob

4:00 An eye for servicing later. Love it!

19:10 bwaahahahaha 'Gonna do some adjusting' **SLEDGEHAMMER HAS ENTERED THE CHAT**

you can never go too crazy with spray paint

I'm still not convinced you would survive that seat breaking in reverse. It seems like now you would just end up under one of the two tracks rather than under the middle of the machine. Nice work and an enjoyable video as always.

Once again requesting the 68 d200 from the mining site be built.

I thoroughly enjoyed this video, thank you for posting it ! i love the way you build or repair what you want instead of wasting money !! and lets face it times are hard for everyone these days .

I have read some good ideas about the hydraulic problem. All of them have merit. The quietest would be an accumulator cylinder. Either spring energy or air on one side of the middle located sliding piston. Perfect for the application of the rear mounted hoist. Limited volume required. Again, quietest solution only.

Good job. Now what about making an overhead hood, for the driver's protection,from the sun and rain.I think that would complete the vehicle.

Those bolts are hardware grade. Grade 5 has 3 slash marks. I had the same problem at my local store. Soft and as weak as spaghetti.

Agreed, those are no grade 5. Tractor supply bulk bins are a great way to get legit herky bolts for low $$

“Nothing but Physics and Law Enforcement can stop a man with a good set of tools”👍🏼

Maybe putting on a proper cutting edge on the bucket is a great idea!

Beyond the functionality, the appearance of that crawler is stellar. Sweet project!

That extra weight helped a lot

A man of many skills and common sense ,Maybe one day we'll find out what he can't do

Recycling genius.

That chain/ balance beam pocket would be a perfect place to mount a winch. Cut a couple notches, drill a couple holes, bolt some pulleys on that hoist and that would solve your noise issue if you went electric winch, could use hydraulic which too. It would also add weight to rear and versatility to the hoist. Eliminates the swing effect of lifting with the ram.

I love your addition to that little machine, it looks just like it belongs there. Love your content keep up the good work.

That Oliver is a keeper!

The tractor turned out great and it looks factory on not like a hot glued Christmas ornament made your 3rd cousin that thinks she's crafty

Thanks for reminding me to put hooks on my tractor bucket. I forget until the day I need them.

This is the kind of neighbor I need!

We need more LBG!!!!!

How nice it must be to be able to work outside comfortably most of the time. Here in England it has hardly stopped raining since the middle of June last year. However, at least we don't have to put up with poisonous snakes and scorpions🙂

dude, nearly 70k subs and 4.4k likes, you are the hero we need

The dry sense of humour is a bonus.

Always a good day with a new LowBuckGarage video

I've been watching and immensely enjoying your videos for quite some time now and I just want to say that your ideas are just ingeniously creative !! I really do think you should pass your knowledge and skills onto as many other people as you can. There is always room for genius in this world !!!!!

Thats an awesome unit. This channel is a lot of fun to watch.

Hay it's time for a Friday version of a Low buck garage production. Just a thought. Add another control valve and a hyd. cylinder tied into the hydraulics of loader for the lift and you can operate it from seat position 💪👍✝️🙏

If you had the valving of a porter power where you have a remote hand pump you could pump by hand and you could also use the engine power

Another great piece of work James. If I were you, I'd keep the rear crane as mandraulic operation for that reason of being able to hear what is going on.

The video of you welding at night was cool. Looks like fireworks

I follow a lot of channels and can honestly say seeing you have posted makes my day . I appreciate what you do and sharing with us all so much 👍

Heck yeah man, found this channel a few days ago-- glad to see it is active!

I don't know if you know who "Dave's farm" was back In the early days of KZread, all the bad stuff aside he did some wild and cool stuff and you're really scratching that itch for me these days!

What bad stuff?

You’ve turned that machine into a pretty useful unit.

I'd go with Vertices corners on the bucket. Easier to see. After you painted the back, it looks original! 👍

It looks good , from when you first got , I did not think you would make it work

8:33 replace the cylinder with one for a tractor and use an external (electric) power pack (bolted on the frame you made) to power it up. Other than the small whine of the electric motor, it should be plenty quiet. That said, i'd replace the secondary boom segment with something a bit more sturdy. The main one should be ok to take loads, but the secondary one kinda at its limit.

Great work on that crawler tractor, making her useful again, nice rear attachment. You might want to put a cutting edge on that bucket to save it , if your going to use it alot , thanks for sharing 👍💨💨

That's one bombproof seat protector.

Great video, considering my great, great, great relatives were part of the development of Oliver tractors.

You should add a brace from bottom of lift to midle of arm. Take the weight off the piston when bumping it alone on the ride. Id add bolts to where lift is welded to angle plate. And extra brace from top of lift back to angle. Weld some hooks on side of bucket to hook wheel centres to add weight to front. Or fill a old axle case with weight so you can scoop it and hook a chain to secure. Good job. Very handy tool. Good luck..

You made your crawler tractor too good. Now to fix every worn part and all the leaks. It will never end.

That dusk welding looked 😎

You could replace the cylinder in the hoist with one that’s air over hydraulic, then add an air tank somewhere. However I just read another comment about putting a winch in that pocket behind the seat and I’m really liking that idea now.

Looks like somebody's been watching Puddin's Fab Shop you tube channel.

looking good there bud, remember when you repaire cracks in metal the most optimal way to ensure you'v stopped the crack is to drill a hole at the end of the crack and then weld it up. PS: i would love to do what you do!

Excellent video Low Buck Garage :) all improvements you did to Oliver Dozer sure did help lots and I like did too!

WoW! Your simply amaze me how you take a idea n manage to put it into motion without a floor plan! Just a vision in your mind!

Significant bend on the lift extension when lifting that engine. If that is 2" tubing, consider going up a gauge on that. Maybe if it is 1/8" thick, get a piece of 1/4" thick stock. Neat build and nice bucket repair.

The city does not give this man problems about his yard because they know he could build a kill dozer fast and cheap 😂

I think connecting the hoist to the machine's hydraulics would be the way to go. Nobody wants to stand there and pump the cylinder up a thousand times. You would just have to be more observant since you won't be able to hear things breaking with the engine running.

Another great video with all the fun elements - innovation - practicality - utility. Thanks!

Very classy job! 😊

I wait with bated breath for each new video. Great content and I get ideas from each one!

Adding check valve setup to isolate cylinder when engine is off so your hand pump valve still functions is one option. Electric pump would be another. Depends on what you can scrounge up.

Nice addition

As for the jack. Put a leaver or spigot knob on the release valve. Instead of using the handle all of the time. Also weld a piece of pipe with a cross bolt somewhere to hold the handle.

On the cracks in the bucket you should have drilled the ends of the cracks it stops the crack from getting larger..I really like your channel and the way you do things ..

Always fun watching your ingenuity 🙂

Well there's weight pushing down on the rear where he final drive is hence power to the ground. I would say it has about 50/50+- weight distribution now. A roof added to the hoist and your set

One of my favorite channels. Keep up the good work

Looks like it was made for the back there….. oh…erm…yeah…. Guess it was! Another great video, thanks

those cacti are huge i always had to touch them as a kid and I'm in Maryland.. my Mom would be like your gonna get stuck🤣

Nice work on the Oliver upgrades.

The obvious solution to silent power lifting is to plumb a bleed valve from the loader cylinders. Then you can lift a heavy load in the bucket, turn off the engine, open the bleed valve and use the hydraulic pressure from the sinking loader to power the rear hoist.

For the Hoist you could make a wheel type mechanism with a lever connected to the pump that is powered by a cordless drill. Kind of like the wheels on an old train engine.

You're a genius man.

I love the finishing touches 🙂

Sir... you may have radically altered you band/chop/hack saw, but I noticed at 2:40 that it has a moving fence that adjusts for angled cuts. Usually that means the fixed fence can also be adjusted to do the same thing. Really like the work, the vids, and especially the attitude.

What a cool machine, good job!

That's a win! Improvements all around.

Your neighbors must love you. 😀 I have an HG-3 with a front loader and need to add rear weight thanks for some ideas

A hydraulic accumulator would let you use the hoist cylinder one stroke even with the engine off. For those not familiar picture a balloon in a pressure vessel filled with nitrogen under pressure. The hydraulic fluid fills the balloon and compresses the nitrogen even more. When the pump stops running you still have the fluid in the accumulator under pressure to use.

*- James, I repeatedly found myself thinking how good it would look for the under belly to be pained in the green so camera shots would have that as background instead of harsh distracting yellow and rust.* *- How would you ever find railroad ties to cut up into enough blocking for cribbing to support a ramp to get the Oliver in the air for painting?* *- Where would you ever find an old garage oil pit and working electricity for a paint sprayer.*

Great project and it looks good too!

For the hoist and in keeping with the 'something amazing out of nearly nothing" hitch up a power steering pump with a starter motor with the Bendix portion de-grafted. Presto- reasonably quiet electric hydraulics.
