Great to see you cleaning the old tank out. That will save a lot of filters and headaches in the future. Sounded good and I hope the trans and clutch packs are good. I think she has some work left in her. Those old girls had lots of good metal in them.

Nice work 👍

Great job. Congratulations.

Good job. This is a great example of frugality & common sense when deciding where & how to spend your money & time running a business. 👍

That engine sounds great! Cheers! Whipple

Might not be the prettiest thing on the block but she purrs like a kitten. Great video. 😎👍👌

I am very impressed with your analytical and mechanical skills!

It Lives! Congrats!

Great work...cant wait to see you back at the tracks

Excellent work!! The very best of luck with it!!

Purring like a kitten. Nicely done. I can’t wait to see it in action on the railroad!!

Job well done. Running pretty as you please. It was a good investment. Can’t wait for season 2. Take care and have a good one. 👍👍👍❤️

I swear I could smell the diesel when it started!

There's is a fitting there with a clear ceramic ball, and a lot of times the gaskets and 0 tings deteriorated, and the particles plug up this ball. I just used a safety pin and clean the particles away. Maybe many many times but it will work.

When you pull the steering lever the first part of the movement disengages the drive and the end of the movement tightens the brake band. If you pull both levers all the way back and the machine doesn't move its set up right. If it kills the motor the clutches aren't disengaging but the brakes are working. If it rolls forward clutches aren't disengaging and brakes aren't set tight enough. Hope this helps. Machine that have sat awhile usually have clutches that don't want to slip.

Nice work !

Good luck with your Railroad! One way to make a Mark in the world wish I could get one. Much respect good vid old ⏲️ timer.

CONGRATULATIONS On a really successful first year. I know nothing about RR. However I’ve garnered lots of new info with you guys great teaching strategies. This is just awesome. Thankyou

I think he is wearing someone else's shirt. His name is Bryan (Brian?). He can probaly explain the reason.

1:12 Sounds like Dirt Perfect with his miller welder. "Disassembly and reassembly of Stanadyne injection pump in a miller big diesel welder" is the title.

Thats rewarding feeling to buy something that doesn't work and make it useable and functional again. I did that with my allis and chalmers grader.

Love following your progress. Keep the videos coming!

Nothing Runs Like 👍 a Deere. 🦌 There was NO Question you would get this Running. 👍🤔

Knowledge is power.

Replacement is preferred, but, remember that copper work hardens. In a pinch, you might get away with a used one that has been annealed.

Excellent video I enjoyed watching it 👍😀😀😀😀😀🚂🇬🇧

On the injection pump a steel washer is used either side of the banjo fitting on the line. They are steel for a reason - very high PSI! Secondly if your copper washers are not thick enough the bolts securing lines will protrude into the housing to far and cause problems with rotating parts. Remember High PSI, if you like your fingers don't stick them near leaks on injection lines! If fuel gets injected into your fingers doctors cut them off at the nearest joint. FYI.

Steel makes sense, the copper ones are probably for lower pressures. Thanks! Brian

If you haven't actually operated a 350 before, and it has a direction reverser, one thing you'll notice is it's nearly impossible to inch it along using the clutch pedal. This is because the flow of torque goes engine-clutch-reverser-transmission. If it's in gear and the clutch pedal is pushed down and you slowly release it, it'll pretty much jump and not mush. This is because when the clutch pedal is pushed down, the reverser is not turning and thus, no hydraulic pressure to engage its clutch. Once it gets turning, one of the clutches (either forward or reverse) will fully engage. If you push the clutch pedal down, the reverser stops and loses its hydraulic pressure and its clutch will disengage. Then you let the pedal back up a bit, the reverser starts to turn, the hydraulic pump builds pressure...........and so on. Also, if the steering clutches and brakes are adjusted properly, it'll turn at any speed. Most likely your clutches are gummed up and need to be cleaned and/or adjusted. As noted in another comment here, when you pull a steering lever, the track clutch will disengage and if you pull it harder, the track brake will engage. If it has a reverser and you have trouble killing the engine getting started in 4th, push the clutch pedal all the way to the floor. Put it in 4th. Pull both steering levers all the way back. Let out the clutch pedal (this can be done fast or slow, the dozer won't move with both steering levers all the way back). Then slowly release the steering levers. This also works to inch along but it's pretty tricky to do it smoothly.

Inspirational to those of us who object to a throw-away society.

Now that's satisfying! Good on you for making it run. So glad you didn't burn your face off. Battery acid is no joke. Can't wait to see the rest of the JD repairs.

Can you post where you got your seal kit for the fuel pump please and the Part number too.

Really glad you are back, keep those videos coming. I can relate to that battery blowing I had that happen on a big truck and I was lucky also.

Did you get a spark too close to that battery? My cousin did that once in his Triumph Spitfire car. I’ve seen plenty of blown batteries myself too as I once worked in a truck parts warehouse. Hydrogen gas is vented from the battery and it will go bang if it lights off. 😁

Great to hear the old diesel running. Cant wait to see it in action. Nice work!

Great job on the dozer , Onwards and upwards !

Congratulations on your running dozer. Can't wait to see it in action!

When being charged, lead acid batteries release hydrogen gas, which is explosive over a very wide range of proportions when mixed with air. Like acetylene, that wide explosive range makes hydrogen quite dangerous, since you don't need the perfect mixture with air to generate a powerful explosion. I saw a battery which had blown up inside a man's Corvette decades ago. At the tire store where I was working, we sopped up the acid, and replaced his battery. Luckily, no acid got on him because sulfuric acid inside a battery can destroy your skin in seconds since it has a great affinity for the water inside your skin cells. A face shield is a good idea when messing around with lead acid batteries which might be exploded by any spark igniting escaping hydrogen. Generally in industry, hydrogen is only used when it is the only gas that will work. Over time hydrogen also makes many metals brittle by working its way into the tiny cracks between the metal crystals. It is called 'hydrogen embrittlement''. It sounds impossible but it really happens because the hydrogen gas molecules are so tiny that they can get into any gap. Eventually, the metal part will fail.

Sounds great! that one track is on backwards, isn't it?

Think of all the work you've put into this dozer, and you're not done yet. Aren't you glad you didn't get that 35 tonner?

You guys are so great. I love the fact you explain everything that’s going on. I’m very impressed with your knowledge. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to your next series of video. Can’t wait to see some track work. God Bless.

Good morning from SE Louisiana 18 Apr 21.

Scott from accounting: I guessed in the Feb meeting "You paid near $1,462.50 for the dozer." Less than a thousand is fantastic boss! In that comment I gave my appraisal too. Still waiting on numbers for the business plan... Love the vids!

Same thing happened on my first 1972 Chevrolet pickup

Well done! I see abandoned machines like this all the time. Now I wonder how many have some life left in them.

Batteries like that are great for recycling. They'll pour out the acid, and turn everything else into a new battery 👍

Are you going to plow with it One day soon

Amazing, ya just love to see it. Great work ya guys! 💯👌🤙

Sometimes, a bigger hammer just isn't enough. Hand me that roll of duct tape!

Awesome video

@4:36 there is an adjusting screw missing from the end of the lever.. its hole is threaded .. if it was there it would push on the next lever to operate the brake band and probably release the steering clutches. i would want to use a magnet to fish around the bottom of the steering clutch housing. i don't know if there is a drain plug in that housing.

Did you video working on the pump? If you did, I am sure I’m not the only one that would like to see it..

I was hoping to see the video start with a stop at White Castle first... great video guys👍

Sounds great. Maybe get in there with a pressure washer or steam clean under the fuel tank. Back to the future? You showed use everything except the Flux capacitor. LoL

I havent seen this on the work site, What is its status as of September 7th?

looks in images like a fully threaded bolt about an inch and a half or inch and 3/4 long... a jam nut.. and this is the adjustment if you pull both levers back? if it does you are not adjusted right or the discs are swollen and wont allow it to release. levers should only have about 1 1/2 inch free play before throwout touches fingers then about 6 inches to brake apply..

I think the reason the battery blew up is you were trying to pull too many amps fropm too small a battery. That big one you've got now looks much better. If you're going to rebuild the fuel pump then check the 'o'-rings you put in are compatible for use in a biodiesel system. Most fuel producers now put a certain ammount of bio into their diesel mix and chemicals in the boi can attack some types of rubber seals. If you make the pump biodiesel compatible then you could probably run on pure biodiesel and get your running costs down quite a bit. Here in the UK commercially produced biodiesel is about 20 pence per litre cheaper than normal diesel and that's including tax as road fuel. For off road use, bio is about 50 pence cheaper per litre. That soon adds up when you're using a couple of 20ltr cans per week. Bio is also a very good fuel for pressure kero lanterns such as Tilley lamps.
