Here, here!

❤ I absolutely love your channel and your deadpan humor is awesome! I cannot wait to see what adventures you get into at your new property!

It was great to get another glimpse of your high desert property, James! I think that place has tremendous potential. I hope you'll show us more of what you're doing there from time to time. That little crawler is certainly an asset on your new property!

Hey my name is Sean I asked you a question. I don't know if I got a reply or not. Very good with the phone but I have a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee and I've seen some of your older videos that you turned a couple of them in the manual transmission. What's involved with mine because it's 2003. I know about the the crank sensor relocation. All that no problem is right now is clutch pedals. I'm pretty sure everything everything else I can get from a Wrangler to make it work in my grand Cherokee but the clutch pedals is my only issue they didn't make. Does he make a set for a WJ? I would like to do six-speed but if I speed would be fine

He used Cherokee and Dakota parts to piece that together. Cherokee already came with Chrysler V8 and manual pedals common in 2wd base model Cherokee's. The transmission is from a V6 Dakota. The Dakota V6 is same as V8 patterns with 2 cylinders cut off from center. ​That popular transmission will work in light vehicles and survive; NV3500 also used in half ton base model pickup trucks. ​@@seanhufford8330

Look for base model 2wd Cherokee's for a clutch pedal assembly. Anything above the base model will be automatic. Might do research and see if for example; Dakota pedals might be the the same assembly or aftermarket hydraulic clutch pedals; Summit Racing or street rod dealers. ​@@seanhufford8330

The oil pressure switch to control both circuits, awesome ! I thought resistor when you showed the light and nice work on the resistor in parallel. You remind me of my neighbor who was chief engineer for Signatrol. He just knew things. Bavk in the 70s, he would explain things with patience, to a kid, me. He told me he learned mechanical, automotive, with the help of parts from the Duesenbergs, in Indy ! Whether true or not, using records online, including census data, I tend to believe it. He didn't have your treasure piles though, lol.

Damn dude you are very talented. Keep them coming I’ll keep watching

Always love a new low buck video

A short time ago that machine came to you for the cost of scrap........now you have it tuned to be a favorite! Nearly priceless now!

That was fun to watch. The alternator install was enlightening. Never knew that it was difficult to make an alternator work! Thanks for sharing

I'm impressed every time I watch one of your video's, common sense thinking with down to earth solutions. I enjoy watching what you do from week to week it's always a welcome surprise keep the Low Buck mine videos coming .There was a guy on television when I was a Kid called Mr Wizard , Don Herbert , he would do scientific things and explain them exactly like you do and your dead pan sense of humor cannot be denied as edgy .

This is one of the last channels here on YT that I actually still enjoy watching,👍, thanks for all of your hard-work James, and thanks for sharing it with us.😉👍

"I made this extremely safe and secure set up" - hahaha. Brilliant. I'm British. While we love our American cousins, we often say they don't get ironic or sarcastic humour. James' masterful use of deadpan is living proof this isn't a universal truth. Great stuff.

That little OC-3 is pretty slick now

I'm jealous. You get to play with all the cool stuff.

I am hooked on your channel. I love your content and your deadpan delivery. Keep up the great job. Smitty in Nova Scotia, Canada.

Good Morning, James!! I'm wearing my "Yamaha" T-shir....wait a sec.. One moment, Please...I am wearing my "Low-Buck Garage" T- Shirt!! I know I'm doing it right because....c'mon people...I'm having fun! 😒😊🤩👍

Nice work on the old Oliver. That new property is such a cool place! All that nice, re-purpose able material, is a hoarder's dream. That might be a source of endless content for the channel!

😀Time to watch some more "happy little accidents" (thanks to B Ross), allowing something become more useful through the careful use of items "everyday people leave behind" (Wombles, Wimbledon Green)

Some folks have more fun working than others have when they're goofing off! Small diesel track loaders are like the Swiss army knives of property renewal. Looking forward to more videos from the Low-Buck Mine!

Your knowledge of all things internal combustion is amazing. You'd be a handy guy to have around after the fall of civilization and we've gone all Road Warrior.

I love honesty in your video ! The gauges cluster. Keep up the amazing work!!!!

Totally called it. I said in the last video that thing would be useful at this property.

On to the next project, already looking forward to it

I've enjoyed your OC-3 videos. As a kid my uncle had a green OC-3 crawler loader that my cousins and I played on in the 1960s. Before I was old enough to remember he excavated for a new basement addition to their house and the same for our house including a cellar underneath the existing house.

The track adjustment reminds me of a saying we used in the Electro-Mechanical shop when talking about the Missile Maintainers shop. We worked "smarter, not harder", and their philosophy was "when in doubt, get the bigger hammer out."

Finding that location was lucky. Got some nice loose fertile soil for growing and earthworks/landscaping. Lots of equipment to repurpose and enjoy. The Oliver is the sweetest little brush and shovel for cleaning up. I've no idea what you'll do but I do have the idea any man could find a lot to do and have fun doing it for a good long time.

Good repairing of the old green mini tractor

My favorite channel

Great episode. Seems like you're having a blast exploring your new property and finding treasure!

i am getting lots of new ideas for projects around my house by watching his videos!! thanks for sharing..

LBG, good thing that u got ur Oliver OC-3 Track finished, it came in handy for use on ur Land Mine. great job..

Enjoy your videos they're always a treat.

About 45 years ago I had an Oliver OC-4 Diesel dozer. I made the same track adjuster shims from hardened steel washers for the same reason as you did. You can free the adjuster nut but it takes an oxygen-propane or acetylene torch for enough heat. I found that even using wheel bearing grease on the threads did not prevent it from re-seizing.

We had a 1938 Oliver oc3 prototype when I was a kid. Yours is a cleaner version. I'd say 95% the same. My brother sold it to the Anderson family in jaroso Colorado after my dad died. Seeing your Ollie brought back such fond memories. I noticed yours is way tipsy. Ours had a set of large steal weights under the seat. Our cleats were a half inch taller too for more grip. I'm sure yours are worn down. But anyway... love that you got a beautiful old tractor that you can use and have fun with. 😊

*- Always good stuff here and always so much to learn.*

After binging on all of the past videos, I too am now addicted to these videos. I am fascinated with the new mine and look forward to the new daily driver project(s)

I really enjoyed part 1, so this will be entertaining as well. I love the look of the Green Machine.

That crawler is awesome! gotta love those old "Cletracs"

Yelp that’s a good day , to see a vlog, thanks BigAl California

Very clever, using that oil pressure switch in that manner. Thanks for another great video!

That little dozer did a good job. Nice 4x4 king quad. The multiple range and front locker made those things a pulling machine.

I cannot get enough of your videos, very well done .

That looks like a lot of fun.

Love the content and your great attitude That Cat #17000 V8 in the background deserves an episode of it's own

Awesome video again! Cool to see the Oliver coming along and cool to see your mine again! Keep up the great work!

that oliver is working real nice

Dang I wish I had 1/10 th of your knowledge! You are a truly amazing renaissance man.

Man, you are always in control. I need to be more like you!

I love to watch your videos. Greetings from Ankara 👋

This channel is the best, such good fun and an education.

I like the style of your videos. Real common sense instruction

we learn so many things with you, dude

You have made the crawler into a nice little machine. One trick I use to free up a large, frozen nut like the one on the track adjuster, is to use a cold chisel and pound on the flat of the nut as if you were going to cut it off, but in this case, the intention is to only free up the nut. It is not elegant, but it works, when nothing else will.

You and I have the same large budget for project vehicles. I like this channel.

I you said "let's load it on the trailer and get it out of here" for a half second I thought you sold it off and was sad, but then I remembered you got that new plot of land.

I’m baffled as to why this channel doesn’t have 10 times the subscribers.

Excellent video Low Buck Garage (James) :) and yes that dozer doing super job for all repairs doing to also ! Well Done!

Thank you for inspiring us to make stuff work for us!

Great work getting around the problems James.

I absolutely love your videos! King of all fix all's!

Man I need one of these for the yard. Teach the wife how to use it and let her go to work on the flower beds.

I’m so looking forward to all the adventures and stuff you will get up to at the mine. Shame it’s so far away but sure it will end up a home away from home over time and I’m here to watch it happen 👍

Great work on the Olivnan crawler , and nice to see the tidy up and recycle of the eyesore of a mining site 👍💨💨

That ol' oliver is a little beast!

That Jeepster would be a great daily driver and a super challenging project to restore

I look forward to projects on the new property!

Another awesome Low Buck video

This is a great channel. The mine is really cool, excited to see more

fantastic watch, didn't want it to end, so interesting too, more please?

I enjoy your channel. You have interesting projects and a great sense of humor. Keep it up!

That thing is pretty cool, good job fixing that up

Very nice, I got a great video to watch with the start of daylight saving Time. Cheers 🎉

Great video, I really enjoyed it!

You sure made a good rig out of that.

Nice work on the repairs James 🙂👍

Knowing the paint code for the Jeepster will come in handy for color matching.

Corn Head grease also works fantastically well for steering boxes.

Really went all out on the Oliver.

Gotta say I like your style, the fact that you sound just like Hank Hill works in your favor too.

when you’re working with sheet metal. It’s best to make small spots. wait for the red to go away, spot and so on. You can get fancy with the air hose to cool it down but you still have to wait a sec before hitting a red puddle with air

You do excellent work. I'm impressed. 👍

Love the little Dozer you have now, and the rear-mounted hoist is definitely going to see a lot of work with how often you seem to need to pull motors!

I love the litte crawler. Watched the whole series. Its almost too reliable and useful for this channel

Grinding makes me the welder I’m not. Bondo make me the grinder I’m not. 😂

Good job! It looks like a handy little rig to have on your property.

Lucas oil hub oil is also good for stopping leaks. Hub on my boat trailer was seeping slowly, added that stuff and it dried right up.

Nice upload. Looking forward to some more mine uploads Cheers Jim

Good explanation for the alternator

Quite the success, James, thank you

Time for fun!

thats neat, never seen one of these small trackloaders from oliver, seems to be real happy like with that nissan diesel in it, 10 / 10 nice work

It is such a great channel. You are the mechanic I wish I was and fix things the way I would like too be able too.

I love this little dozer. 👍

Those oil ports should be used for the turbo that you will install!

Fantastic little dozer!

Low Buck the man the myth the legend

charming video, good stuff
