Always a good idea to drain the first half quart out of the oil pan to see if you have any water in the sump

Just a comment that I want positive... When you have a specialist like the operator that was digging the ditches, I really believe that your role is resumed to look and learn, not to give him your directives ! I am convince that he would do a marvelous job cleaning the rest of the sides that are not cleaned wide enough. You left big trees that keep the shade keeping the humidity keeping the vegetation growing fast and dense. Your son is a marvelous operator of all your machinerie.

Nice -- If you need any tech info-- repair, diagnosis etc on the 350 , keep in touch ---- and the left track is on backwards...

I love that you relate personal freedom with personal responsibility. Too extend your analogy, too many people today scream that their personal freedom is being trampled on when their own personal car breaks down because they haven't done any maintenance on it in 5 years. People also forget that personal freedom does not mean everyone else has to get out of your way. If everyone gets in their car and creates a traffic jam that slows you down that's not someone taking away your freedom. That's simply the result of everyone trying to go to the same place.

MartyT was the user you mentioned from New Zealand, he's done that with numerous old pieces of equipment.

Smitty SF-3751 Been watching Jaw Tooth when he was out in Madison Indiana at the Jefferson Proving Grounds. As you might know the store a lot of freight cars. They also have 2 diesel loco's in storage. One is a Plymouth small size and the other is a Davenport, center cab. That is all I could get, hope it helps.

I love your hard hat, and what it stands for. God bless you!

You can put any primary and secondary filters and filter bases on that with a little refitting work and use a different set of course and fine filters. You just need to know what the secondary filter micron is needed. Like Cats engines are 2....but old cummins were 10-15 microns. Primary are just a screen or course. A cummins base and a 25 cummins filter of 25 microns will work there. Old Cats were just a steel cam with a mesh screen....no filter, They went to a spin-on because of cold weather gel-ups....it was quicker to spin on a filter instead of using wrenches and a swishy-washy and reseal job that took more time.

Hey! Another fan if Marty T in NZ! I think he's got at least 6 "if you get it to run you can have it" videos. What a talented and creative guy, for sure! Who would have come up with using an old washing machine for a generator!?

Was Al Bundy a choice? Glad the Deere is a runner!! Many diesel projects out there cause people are afraid to work on their stuff- more for the rest of us to rebuild. Continued Good Luck!!

Meta-tarsal guards are good ,noticed them as soon as I saw your feet ,Ex-Iron Worker, safety always first.Like the lip worm.

Thanks a lot. Letting us look over your shoulder made your job more difficult, and I appreciate it.

Silicone spray does the same as starting fluid and it is better to use .

I totally agree with you about personal freedom, something that seems to be seriously under threat these days. May God bless you in all you do. The videos are a source of constant encouragement to me.

if you get it running, you can use it to pull ties. a few rail jacks, heavy duty chain, and a tie tongs meant for machine use, spike puller, lining bar, spiking maul, and some elbow grease. GOOD Luck.

Great analogy of personal freedom. My church helps by teaching single adults how to change their own oil and lightbulbs on their vehicles. And empower those in our neighborhood by having a public food garden and instruction on growing your own food. It’s not much but it is a start.

Thank you for sharing this video. I love to see people fully invested with their projects. Safety is always important, and helps us stay around to enjoy our freedom. I can't wait till your next episode.

You my kind of people. 32 years of herding these trucks around. I watched that same tractor video a couple nights ago. That tractor was in the bushes for sure.

I have put so many of those filters on over the years I know it's WIX 33166 by memory NAPA 3166 is same filter as a side note.

Very Interesting Episode. Looks like your Close to getting this Relic Started and Operational. 👍

That dozer turning over and then starting and running sure makes ya feel better huh? I’ve no doubt that engine will run. I can’t hardly wait for the next update. 👍👍👍❤️

I see the snow on the ground so I know it’s cold. Here is a thought for you. When I was working ( been retired for 17 years now ) I worked outside most of my life, I purchased a pair of 5” Servus Brand rubber boots to go over my work shoes. They have 2 buckles for easy on and off. These cost around $40.00 on Amazon. Order 2 sizes larger than your work shoes. I’ll tell you they make a huge difference and your feet will stay warm, even if you have steel toes. Also great for wet & muddy work areas. Gary

mechanical lift pump.. does it create vacuum when you pump it with a finger over the inlet tube?? it should.. if yes.. does it create vacuum when cranking the engine.. then does it hold vacuum. that lets you know if the check valves inside are good or dirty. please find a piece of wood to put over the intake .. it will suck the skin off your hand if you try to put your hand over it.

back in the fall got some land at a tax sail and hoping to buy a old building near my house to restore it

oil not milky either, which is also good.

Study up on “ Run away diesels “. There was a post on Yesterday’s Tractors about a guy that was killed when the diesel tractor engine ran away and the flywheel came apart. Have a piece of wood or metal that will cut off the air intake to kill the engine. Good luck with the dozer!

Your podcast title picture caught my attention. Myself, 2 John Deere tractors, a 1979 550c bulldozer, and a 1980 450c front end loader on tracks. A #9300 detachable back hoe which attaches to either machine. Recently my friend and I rebuilt a Cat D-5 from 1951, and fixed the 1948 Cat D-8. We buy Cat Yellow spray paint by the box. Rust is a killer where I live, anyway thanks for your podcast, it's nice to see someone else doing these jobs. From Alaska.

Marty T is awesome when it comes to getting something to run that has been sitting for many years like the red David Brown he tracked down with the drone. Looking forward to see this JD started and working on your bit of railroad. Safe travels guys

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

Great Video. God Bless you and Graham. Nothing but the best to you guys. I look forward to seeing more video’s in the future. I see mainly Bombardier M7’s and M9’s where I come from as well as EMD D30AC and DM30AC

I've started a 44T GE and a 50T Whitcomb with ether when it's cold. Not a huge deal, as long as you don't spray the whole can in the breather.

Looking at the size of this dozer, it looks ideal for the terminal. Just right for getting in-between tracks and working ditches and loading areas. Enjoying your videos sir.

I looked at one old cat without glow plugs that had a can of either mounted to it and a factory linkage up to the cab to give it a littler shot on cold starts.

that thing in the manifold with a wire is a preheater. the fuel system needs to be bled before starting.

God, family/friends, first responders and military, and country. I have a remote start momentary contact pushbutton with two alligator clips. Clip it on and push the button -- no sparks.

God bless this United States of America!! Amen to all of my fellow americans out there.

That was very cool seeing that D turn over. Wish you could add the decal back on to it. Can’t wait to see and hear it running. Nicely done Keep these coming when you can.

It takes more than track and wheels to have a RR. Looking like a decent purchase right there. Those are good little machines.

It would be so nice if each episode were numbered so I could watch them in order and detect any I might have skipped by mistake…

Is that an M-65 field jacket?

The bigger question is will it steer? Those dry clutches like to freeze up.

Pappy. You are the coolest. I already watched the guy from NZ. Glad ur doing this.

Progress! WOOHOO! Keep it coming! Now, about those T shirts........

If it does not run call vice grip garage he is on you tube. He gets vehicles that sometimes have not run in 20-30-40 years

Great stuff guys! Keep them coming! Can't wait for part 2.

A lot of those small john deere dozer got parked because of steering clutchs another problem is 1 side would go n guys would only fix 1 side then other would go. Maybe you'll luck out. If clutchs need to be done there's videos on here showing repair. Also with diesels a lot of guys use wd40 rather than starting fluid Starting fluid can wash oil rings dry if to much is used. I had ford 450 diesel (company truck) when I had to use starting F I would just spray the grill near intake, most just need a little sniff

You may already know this but the 350B had an issue with the bolts holding the reverser on the transmission loosening up. If they do it causes the connecting shaft splines to wear and you have to split the tractor apart to fix the shaft, which is a major operation. Those should be checked before you try operating it for very long.

The guys name is Marty T. The tractor is a Davison brown if I remember correctly. That is the 4th tractor he has gotten like that. He was given a excavator deep in the woods , had to get it running to get it out . Cool videos of it . And got a motograder he had to work on . Look thre some other vids of his . That 350 came with a wench as well . Find a cab for it or at lest some roll bars . You never know when it will or could save a life . I have a few hundred hours or so on one . Great dozer . 6 way blade is very handy . They did have a root rake for it as well . It will service you well . ? For you , dose the high rail grapple truck have a nuckle on the rear to move cars , I have seen them used here and there to move 6 to 8 cars

Good evening from SE Louisiana 11 Feb 21.

In my teen years (13) a friend and I happened on an old tractor in an old warehouse area. I think it was a Massey Harris. It had a crank and a battery. We got this brain wave that we were going to get it running. (We have no idea who owned and we kind of didn't care). We'd go to school and then after school ,ride our bikes to the tractor. We spent about a week tinkering with this thing. This thing was sunk in a muddy yard. For some reason I allocated a 1-1/2 ton bottle jack and we Jacked it up using wood and planking that we could find laying around. The tires were holding air. We hauled fuel another day so we knew it had fuel. We took tools another day. I'd crank and crank that sucker, but a 13 year old that weighed 90 pounds wasn't going to get enough muscle into that. I don't know how , but we managed to get a battery and my friends parents dropped it off at the tractor. We got it to turn over. We tried for a while and it started to putter and fart into life. And that was when it hit us. LMAO. What the hell were we going to do with this tractor once we actually got it running, because it almost was running now. We got scared and abounded the project. We couldn't see two 13 year olds driving a tractor down the street going over that great. LoL. We had a lot of fun though. We don't know what became of the tractor. It sat there for a few more years and then it was gone.

Whoever said to make the new clips 15 minutes long is not likely in the majority. Make them longer if you want it does not matter. Your new to you dozer could move a car or 2 for you if needed ocne you get it running.

Nice job getting that old thing to crank over. I'd be a little concerned about the hydraulic fittings just because of it's age and condition.

Will it run? I purchased a TM2 Trackmobile not knowing if it would run. With some minor work I got it running. Unfortunately I didn't know the voltage regulator was stuck and the generator burned up some wiring. I had a lot of fun with it and today it is parked in my driveway. Of course it does need some more work.

@@rearspeaker6364 most certainly, but yester-years, they would do that. almost certain that if it's been sitting over a year, that the injectors would need to be worked on, or at least checked. I heard those stories about run-away engines as a young-un. It may be why I'd seen a lot of old-heads dumping a quart of cheap engine oil or automatic transmission fluid into the fuel (1 qt/5 gallon) before parking it for a season (equipment used only during certain times of the year).

John Deere makes a good dozer

Do you have access to a garage/shop to do work inside? Once it’s running and reliable to run then take it out, why freeze?

I know I have personal freedom when I can ride a reliable passenger train ;) Also, I prefer my deeres green haha. I had to drive for parts for the baler I was operating last summer, thank god my boss gave me the blueprints, cause I definitely would have driven a while for nothing

If there is water in the crank case it will be on the bottom and the oil would be on the top, and the water may not show on the dip stick.

Get you a remote starter switch

Interesting, nothing runs like a Deere!

You should try to get your Railroad on the TV History channel, like the Oak Island shows do for funding.

One video you might find entertaining is Jonathan W's kzread.info/dash/bejne/Zn6LxLOwmLKzn5M.html where he purchased, recovered and restored to operating condition of an abandoned drag line. He uses it on his property in many subsequent videos. He has skin in the game.

Yall need to do a collaboration with @Vice Grip Garage. He can get any old abandoned machine running AND get you some more subscribers.

Be careful about sparks around the battery. You don’t want to pop it. That happened to a cousin of mine.

That looks like it's from the 1970s. I'm sure it will start these were pretty dependable and they could take a lot of abuse.

Question for you folks, would you permit me to copy your logo into a decal ? I'd like to create some rolling stock for my layout ? I love the smaller, unique roads.

Personal freedom means a lot of different things to a lot of different people I'm a libertarian and I believe that the government should stay out of almost every aspect of your life But more and more I see government being everybody's parent and especially when it comes to the Republicans and the conservative people and the Christian people they really want to control every aspect of your life and it's all about what you cannot do and what you must do and there's no personal freedom no personal Liberty and it's not what America is supposed to be
