This is quite the challenge I’m sure but there’s no one better to bring it back to life 😊👍just the greatest ✊
It seems this young Lady is extremely multi talented.
3 episodes in her restoration of that crawler I'm hooked on watching the entire restoration process.
I started on the episode she got it running and decided to subscribe to her channel.
Slowly goung thru app past episodes.
Handy with machinery. Good job
Anyone else come here from Witham oils Xmas newsletter? Good video!
Hello, thanks for joining. I did wonder if anyone would. There’s another video up now as well on the Ransomes.
Hi Kim, in good condition for its age but a good idea to change all the bearings and seals, as it will never have the same usage as its earlier years it will now last forever, when degreasing my engine parts I use old gunwash, this is obtained from a local sprayshop, I leave the parts in to soak in large containers,really leaches the oil out, as sprayshops normally have to pay to get rid of it they will often let you have it free, leave it to stand for a couple of days and all the sediment will drop to the bottom and you can carefully decant the clean from the top and as you aren,t a business you can take the dirty gunwash to your local recycling centre for disposal.
Always with the negative waves, Moriarty!
Well melady, a skilled machinist too. I do hope melod keeps you well supplied with brews and biscuits!
Quality workmanship Quality video
Good job cobber.
For the strong of heart and experienced of spanner this one, looking forward to the finished article.
Another Calamity Kim video is a great way to start off my week. Well.....my projects are calling me so off I go.
Good job, Kim. l can't wait to see how it is going to look after you finish. Hi from Chicago.
There’s another few videos after this if you haven’t seen them. It’s nearly done 😀
I could be barking up the wrong tree....but the final drive looks suspiciously like a "Cleetrac" differential as used on the Lee/Grant and Sherman tanks.
Great assembly on the crawler . Well done on improvisation of making shafts and bearings. Looking forward for next one 👍🚜
Very Nice Job on getting all the bits apart, cleaned and so forth. I want to see how you are going to make those oil galleys. The best was when you gave the finger to that stuck piece. Made my day. Looking forward to the next video.
Cool video Kim
Scrape the gaskets off , because most of the gaskets contained asbestos years ago and the last thing you want is airborne particles, the same goes with brake and clutch material
Awesome videos I love seeing older equipment brought back to life especially this one as I’m not familiar with it. Job well done !! Looking forward to your next download.
Hey Kim got my teashirt today 👍 well chuffed with it 👌thank you 👍
That’s great Bob, thanks 😬
Couldn't see any way other than post a comment to thank you 👍
Certainly intricate fabrication & assembly 🇬🇧👌
No problem for a young Lady of your ability…….spot on.
Multi talented, knows sign language and all 🤣👍🇮🇪
For the merch, don't forget your slogan "SEND IT" add a picture of a boot with a throttle flat on the floor 🤗👍🇮🇪
Good idea haha. See how these go first. It’s time consuming to make something.
Wonderful video
Top grade engineering skills on display there. Absolutely brilliant.
Really good video of a fantastic project
How refreshing to see someone who loves these old pieces of equipment as much as I do..Really cool.
Thanks John ☺️
@@CalamityKim1 You are very welcome. Do you know what it meant to have a calamity in the old west where this term came from?
Great job good to see.
My wife says I spend to much time watching calamity Kim.
I keep telling her it's purely technical. She doesn't know what a Bronze bush is. I told her about Kim's latest shaft job but she just jumps to conclusions. I can't win.
She says there is no way I'm getting Kim to fix my old junk.
Hey there Iv just found your page and all really been a big help ❤ Iv just bought our first Ransome MG5 needs a complete rebuild as it looks like it has been on the bottom of the ocean with the Titanic 😂 but anyway watching your videos has already gave me some good tips on what a lookout for so thank you very much 🤘🤘
Really nice piece of work there. Great job. What else can I say? 😊
Thanks Clarence 😊
When you have to make parts, that’s a proper project. 👍
when in doubt, flip it the bird!! looking forward to seeing it come together
Well done great work as usual ; We all miss of forget something its happens your not afraid to say it thats what makes your videos REAL and worth watching .....😁😁©
Thanks for that. 😊
Wow I’m in Canada and when I was a kid (1960’s) my neighbour had one of those machines on his farm and I was always fascinated with it/them
Very Cool 😎
I remember the “put & purr it had”
Wish I had one to play with ! Just for fun 👍
I’m a licences HD
mechanic now !
Awesome 😎
You should get one 😁 everyone should have one 😂 I love hearing peoples experiences with them. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! Wish all the content was in Normal speed, so that I can watch relaxed in real time!
(Fast Forward I can do myself) Other reason: When I slow it down, the sound gets awkward as well😂 great Content! Like it a lot. Greets from GERMany, haha. (CarpenterBea)
Awesome job on the lathe and assembly. I enjoyed the memes added in here and there! 🤣 Nice editing as well 🔧🔩
Loving this series. Your video style is great. No nonsense.
I always question myself if people will like how I video something but you don’t need to see five mins of me unscrewing the same screw 👀😂
That’s still a fair effort so far 👍. Pity about the play in the shaft and bushing but looking forward to seeing you knock the replacements out 👌
Thanks Casto, one of those things I guess.
This Ransome garden tractor takes me back 60 years, I used to play on one down here in NZ as a kid,I loved the thing,but it was very unstable on rough and steep ground.Keep up the good work.
That is a nice old Colchester Student being put to good use!
Thanks Pat, I cleaned it and single phase converted it in some of my earlier videos.
Excellent work!!!
0:54 been there done that, many times. It's the 5 stages of dealing with difficult equipment,
1. denial, "I definitely took out all the bolts, or screws, clips, etc. I defo didn't miss anything"
2. anger, "OK, screw you and the horse you rode in on. You piece of garbage, I hope you rust"
3. bargaining, "ah come on, I released the do-dad, and loosened the other thing. If you come apart I'll be your friend and give you loads of lovely fresh grease/oil"
4. depression, "why, why won't you come apart, out, whatever. Sob quietly out of earshot of the machine"
5. acceptance, "f^&k it, the gas axe, or angle grinder, it is then"
Amazing work as always, Kim! 😎👍 That gear was doing a lot of rocking, but not much rolling...lol. ⚙️⚙️🎸
😂 you’re not wrong!
Brilliant 👍👍
Nicely done Kim , Interesting video and excellent skills. Looking forward to seeing that Ransoms crawler restored. All the best Kim .
Hi Kim Nice job Thanks again
Yep flipping something off usually works for too. 😂😂😂😂
Hi Kimberly you are a very knowledgeable young lady who doesn’t mind getting your hands dirty, fantastic quality of work you do too! Keep up the amazing work. Fenland Rob
I pray one day I find a great lady that loves working on old iron with me you are awesome great job can’t wait to see the finished product thanks for sharing
Great video! Looking forward to the next one
Thank you Kim, another great video. 👍
Those M12 angle die grinders are super handy ! I do a lot of welding projects and 2” sanding discs are great for prepping the weld area.
Aren’t they just! I love mine. I’d like the straight one at some point as well
Love that wynns black clag in a can, so easy to use.
Mighty job Kimberly, fair play👌👍🙏😎
Thanks Pat 😊😊
A girl that works on mini dozers wow cute too wow love it
Great vid and great work. Really like those gasket clean up tools for taking off the high points, not seen them like that before 👍 Congrats on the merch - looks good 👌
wow its going to be like a brand new crawler when you have finished. Looking forward to seeing it running
Excellent job so far!
Well done Kim, great entertainment.
Great work. Thanks for the video. 👍
Nice work. Good progress. Thanks for the update.
Really cool machine!
Great work , good to see you using a Colchester student? I used one as an apprentice.
Great video, Kim!
Nice one Kim
Good work Kim, well done.👍👍
I told 'em, it's not Calamity Kim, it's Capability Kim !!
videos 1 and 2 are upside down in the playlist
Thank you. I just sorted it. I didn’t even know you could have them out of order like that 🤷♀️
Thanks for the great content! :-)
Great video , I like that you are adding in more comedy , giving the finger 🖕 to that stuck part made me laugh. Keep up the good work .
Thanks ☺️
Never done a gearbox looks like a head scratcher 😱😀
Normally I’d say that but this is quite simple. I may do a description on how it works once I finish it.
Strong work !! Want to come and work on a Case 895?? :)
👍
Great job Kim 👌 im guessing that MG is an early one with only one forward and one reverse gear 🤔 waiting with interest to see how you set the clutch up as theres one in our workshop the centrifugal clutch wont disengage 😬
I’m not fully up to scratch on all of the models but yes this is only forward and reverse. I have a tool here that I’ve hired. I’m going to use to seperate mine soon. I may do it next week so I can order some parts and send the tool back.
Hola Kim tendras diagrama o imagen del gearbox de ramson crawler? Me gusto como le diste reparacion esa caja.
Yes I do. It’ll make more sense in the next video.
when you are trying to get some life into old parts, + then you break your tool...
is this tractor thing worth anything at the end, or is it just for the hell of it ?
keep up the excellent work
13:45
Klever lady!
Vad duktig du är! Men är inte junk? Som i kellys hjältar🤣🤣
Nothing worse than breaking a turning tool halfway thru a job so annoying hope u get a replacement soon shall await the next vid 👍
One of these for sale on Facebook, in Wimbourne.................
I don’t need another 🤣
@@CalamityKim1 I can see why 2 might not be all that attractive...........must be quite rare though?
Would that be an MG6 by any chance?
It has to be said, you're pretty handy with the machine tools! I envy you....
It’s an MG2. Thanks as well 😊
@@CalamityKim1 Nice! We had an MG6 at Askham Bryan, but not having seen a Ransomes crawler in almost forty years, I'm never sure of what I'm looking at unless I've been told. Thanks 👍
i wouldnt bother repairing its very difficult to find parts ransomes motor triple uses same parts so i been told been there in 80s 90s repairing old mowers trying to find spare parts then was so difficult upto you i would search for newer machinme to repair one i can find spares
Really enjoying this, top job Kim. What did you use for cleaning the mating faces up? Never seen them before
Thanks Robbie. So they’re made by 3m, it’s a product called roloc, and they’re the bristle brush attachment. You basically buy a little mount, mines 50mm, then you can buy sanding disks, bristle brushes and some scotch bright sanding disks of all different grades. They’re brilliant! I spent about £20-£30 on bits once and not ordered any since. They last ages.
Never seen them either. Last lot I bought were them spongy looking discs, supposed to remove crap and not metal 🙄... little shards of stuff come off the discs as you go and stab you in the belly 😢
@@CalamityKim1 superb Thankyou! I’ll get some ordered 👍
Do you have a set of the extra large sockets, and if so do you remember where they came from?
I've been looking for a reasonable 1/2" set for sizes greater than 32mm at a not ridiculous price and struggling to find anything.
Hi Tom, I think my 1/2” set goes up to 36 but I have a 3/4 set that goes up to 50mm, that’s a Clarke set. You can get similar sets on eBay for not a lot of money. With a 1/2” to 3/4” adapter it there’s not much you can’t do.
I also have varying large impact sockets from over the years doing odd jobs.
thanks! @@CalamityKim1
Hold on a minute, I reckon there was a bit of special effects, CGI, smoke and mirrors bullshit happening there when you pulled that bearing housing off so easy ? 🤨
Sort of! It was an awful job. It’s following on from the last video. Took me about 8h to remove.
@@CalamityKim1 I well believe it, there's no workshop manual told me about the hours I've spent doing similar ! You do Class Work Kim, Keep it up.
I unsubbed because I thought you quit. Glad that isn't the case. Resubbed.
No no, I don’t plan on stopping but somtimes I need a couple weeks off. These videos take a long time to create. The latest video was about 7weekends work.
Hi what do you do for a living, you seem to be a very good makanic.
Hi Roy, I’m a hgv driver. I post about that on my Instagram account if you’re interested. Thanks
@@CalamityKim1 thankyou for replying roy
