Nissan Diesel Swapped Oliver OC-3, Problems!

- I started off doing some fluid and filter checks on this crawler loader, and then things escalated. I ran into problems I expected, and then more problems I didn't expect. I'm glad I looked at the final drive spindles, because that could have been catastrophic!
Nothing was sponsored in this video, but here are links to good suppliers:
The Surplus Center
www.surpluscenter.com
I've been buying stuff from them for many decades. Some things are overpriced, but they are great for hydraulic fittings and hoses. Also got that suction grease gun for under $10.
Olivercrawlers.com
They actually carry parts for this machine! Not the fastest shipping, but they've got the stuff.
That thing was past being on its last legs... it was rotting out and ready to die. You did all the internal stuff that will let it live for another 40 years, even if completely neglected. And then you made it look good. That little loader is so happy to meet you. Loved this video!
That little machine hadn't been properly maintained since new, if at all. Nice work bringing it back to life and giving it some dignity. It digs very well, also.
Yep nice job! Now you have a working lil track loader to have some fun with, diggin & movin dirt around ur place, whether it needs to be dug up or not! 😂😂
The dry humor is epic. Working on stuff that other people have wrecked is always "entertaining" to say the least.
1. You need to find more "toys" 2. You need to post more great videos like this one!
9:20 another method if you come across this again: remove the bands or other fibrous material and put Naphtha inside all the way up. Naphtha dissolves all organic material (including some plastics) and makes cleaning a breeze. If you have nasty, nasty chain, you basically throw in a pan, pour the deadly stuff in and let it sit. Swishing the tray a few times = effortless cleanup.
37:46 you can probably use some old tractor weights (suitcase weights) on a rack in the back if you don't feel like messing with that contraption.
Having a blast🎉 great vids
I think you and Derek from vice grip would get along fine and drink a few cold snacks while working on some junk .would love to see you both work on something together and I ain’t kiddin ya 😂😂😂👍👍👍
You are the Man!
You missed eye of newt and toe of frog for your drivetrain cleaning concoction.
Your crawler seat looks sketchy at best!
There's something about this channel that just makes you feel good and puts a smile on your face.😊
Same. Just discovered it tonight and I'm on my next video. I do a lot of the same stuff, but he reminds me to do something when I'm doing it. Have fun!
@mark : 100% Agreed!..
😊🙏
I've got major tool envy after seeing that thread cutting/cleaning tool.
Dear Mr. David.
👍👌👏 Same here, definitely! I'm even shocked because I didn't know that something like this is existing.
Best regards, luck and health in particular.
Agree…..never seen one like that before
Could tell us what the tool is called and where your friend got his. Pleasssse.
Nice job! Now you need to add a ROPS ( roll over protection structure) with a roof to protect your noggin from sun, rain, and falling articles such as tree tops, utility poles etc. It'll also add some much needed counter weight to keep that machine planted on the ground. I have an old John Deere that's in dire need of a protective structure myself. I picked up an old roof off an old forklift that I think will work for my situation.
Your videos are both educational and entertaining, which is really all one can ask for. Thank you.
I honestly don't know why it took me so long to find this channel, but, I love it, proper mechanicing and with great humour.
Dude, you crack me up! You are a Master at finding temporary solutions in need of permanent solutions. Hand wave, when you both are on screen genius. Don’t change a thing!
That things a tank. Glad to see you went forward with the repairs. Also, that undercarriage go pro was nice, didn't see any leaks. Hope you get good use out of that loader.
James, One thing's for sure, you are preparing that thing for some actual work. Maybe it wouldn't do well in a big production job, but for small or odd jobs it looks pretty good. And I was thinking, if you sell it to someone, you can give them a copy of the video to show them all the things you have brought up to date or even improved on. You always have a fun video, and that doesn't come by accident. I think I can speak for many when I say you do an outstanding job editing and piecing together all the parts that make it such a great video. Keep it up and have fun for sure. ben/ michigan
Find a backhoe for the back! (They call it a backhoe because it goes on the back and it kinda...hoes). Even if you find a small one, you can add weights if it isn't heavy enough to reduce the tipping. If you just want a bucket loader, and maneuverability, just add chunks of steel, welded together, to add weight to the rear. Or, find a Bobcat rear weight. Space it out away from the rear if it isn't heavy enough. Put a cooler in the space. 😯🤫🍺 That oil change was awesome!! (💩). 😁🤩
Sweet little machine, and impressively powerful. Can't wait to see it do some digging with the rear apparatus attached for ballast.
I've been subbed to this channel for quite some time, (ER / ICU MD here). Due to work reasons I stayed out of tune for a while. This reminds me of myself assisting my late Uncle Joe (Nuke Phisicist + Aircraft Eng.), who's hobby was 'resurrecting' several motorized eqpt. Now, I remember the 'Never, ever give up' mindset of this author + great sense of humour in a relaxed / therapeutic way...
Many thanks & blessings!!..
😊🏆💪🙏🙏🙏🙏
I've been feeling depressed lately but this channel always cheers me up. Your timing was perfect. Thank you for sharing all of these cool projects and having such a great attitude.
Sorry you're bummed out. Things will be better soon. Cheers 🍻
You are not alone. I have been struggling with depression and anxiety for some months but I get to forget them when watching Low Buck Garage.
I know exactly what you mean. We need this sort of thing in our lives.
Edit: Maybe that sounded a little intense. Just saying it's really nice to relax and catch up on this sort of thing.

Hey guys. I'm glad to hear the videos helped, but don't be afraid to reach out to someone. Depression is a legit deal that doesn't always just "go away". Just wanted you to know I care about y'all and I hope the best. Stay safe. Listen to happy music. And surround yourself with positivity as much as you can. ✌️
You are a very very good at fixing things and your mecanical knowledge is second to none. Cheers from Canada
Awesome machine for its size. I didn't think it would handle a bucket of mulch in the beginning! Perfect for installing paver patios.
It makes me so happy to see you clean and paint the poor thing!
That's better than new now! And I agree with your idea of not changing the gasket, because then you won't be changing the oil 😅
I love your style. Good job! Can't wait for more :)
Turned out to be a great little rig! Nice job.
Enjoy your channel and your sense of humour. Keep up the great work
Thanks for the tip on Surplus Center. I spent way too much on hydraulic lines
Oh I forgot,the radiator cap is laying down on the frame by the second drain plug for the transaxle thing you’re calling it lol thanks BigAl California happy thanksgiving.
i'm glad you replaced those hoses, when you change the oil of these old machines since it can now flow properly the most likely thing to happen is those hoses bursting, also due to the crud in the hydraulic's i think she'll need a pump rebuild, and once you're back to OEM hydraulic pressure you'll be thankful you replaced those lines ;)
Love it really nice piece of machine you fixed up and good find. Nice paint job on a new toy to add to the collection.
For the bucket position indicator... Attach a piece of 1/4" round bar to the bucket end an up to the top of the cylinder where you can easily see it. On the top side, slide a piece of pipe over it so the round bar can slide through freely. I think you get the idea.
Then you can set the bucket flat on the ground and use an angle grinder with a death wheel to mark the round bar at the end of the pipe. Actually cutting it flush works great too, IF the pipe is long enough.
If they are still in business, there is a company called Korvis Brothers Oliver that may carry parts for your crawler.
you deserve more subs. keep it up
Could have made a venturi hose with your blower. Sucked out all the old junk out the pan.. Thanks for the video. Good luck..
Great work! And just think, any future projects that aren't fun can now be buried!
You're really scaring me now wow all new fluids paint job lol
I love your content, thanks for sharing your projects!
I like how you explain stuff and make it sound simple
Your not quiet right in the head in a nice way mate ,love your vids always make me smile,
Great video BUT HORRIBLE GREEN????????. Re paint it yellow and put a CAT emblem on it I say!! Keep up the great work !!
Several hundred dollars... there's a whole lot of people in the United States that would gladly pay several hundred dollars for a running tractor like that... if you don't mind me saying, you sir, are inspiration for us "Buck" Savers out here..
Always a joy to have a new low buck production drop on TH-cam .
You might consider using aluminum foil to cover up things that you don't want painted, it also works well to cover things yo don't want to get wet when pressure washing equipment. It is usually quicker than tape and easier to remove, when painting things like hydraulic rams and engine parts.
I learned an AWESOME trick for stuck Hydraulic hoses from the "Capt Kleeman" channel a few months back on TH-cam- he took a normal air hammer, cut off a head on a chisel and used the remaining blunt round shank on the air hammer to tap the sides of the hydraulic lines fittings and it rattles them loose like nothing, I tryed it on an old Skid Steer I've been working on and it works EXCELLENT! - check out his videos on restoring and Old ford 555 Backhoe
Also, you can rig up some rear counterweights with a framework of bedframe welded together and some slab of concrete from an old sidewalk tear out or just cast your own concrete counterweight with plywood & bedframe
I love to have one of those tractor 🚜 I have a 1939 massey ferguson 35 turf special MF35 tractor gas. I have a IMT542 deluxe tractor 🚜 1956 made in Yugoslavia diesel they both are great tractor for what I do
With video like the transmission drainage, I can’t believe you don’t have a 1/2 million suds. Reminded me of a recent day, following a long night of draft beer and Taco Bell 😂😂😂
For a small machine lots of power, and for the bucket put the level on the ground and weld a bar to the bucket to see the angle
Nice work man, love the content.
Whoo Hooooo !!! Alright, one of my favorite shows to watch. Glad to see you again.
You've done a great job putting the finishing touches on what is a usable conversion.
I appreciate that's easy to say and the 'finishing touches' often take the most time and effort.
Good job. Great presentation.
Rops man. Watch your head. Don't become a statistic. That sucker will roll over easily.
Awesome video my friend 😀 🎉🎉
The transmission "fluid" looks like a peanut lava lamp. Consider putting covers on the hydraulic hoses to protect them from the sun.
At minute 34 you learned the awful truth, ..... while little crawlers are fun to play with, they are basically useless. And adding weight to increase traction and stability also adds a lot of stress to the drive train.
I had a Oliver OC. Tbree. I put a John Deere Luc. Motor in it, all the money is in the undercarriage
Hi, AWESOME loved it!! Many thanks from Nr Liverpool UK.
Sir I doubt there is anything you can’t repair better than it was originally!
You are doing great. I have not read all the comments, so this may have been mentioned. If you want to know what angle your bucket is, place the bucket flat on the ground in a neutral position (neither tilted up nor down) and get a piece of metal and weld it to the bucket, in a spot that you can see it from the operator position, in a level position. This will give you something to gauge your bucket angle..
Your vids always make my day! Well done!
its a nissan diesel, . 4x4 nissans for some reason, have a hose hanging under the truck.. as does your loader.. funny..
Driest humor in the west! One of the many reasons to love this channel, well done!
👍keep playing with it and you will be pretty good at it !
Good Video Thank you
An it does need a few lb. on the back
I don’t know if I have said it before but you’re a matter of fact humor is hilarious. I pretty much laugh through all of your videos. You’re a funny guy your family must have a good time with you.🤘🏼😂‼️
Ps. That show went fast. I could watch for hours to bad i binged all your other shows. Cheers 🍻
you always impress me when you first showed this little oliver with a forigne engine and inspecked it it didnt look good and i understand there must have been alot of editing but you now have yourself one sweet machine nice touch painting it oliver green i wish i had one for plowing snow good job
How cool if I had my own dozer, I’d be playing with it in my yard all the time I’m not gonna lie😂
the trick to knowing how your bucket is situated in relation to the ground is to make it perfectly flat then look at the back of the bucket and find a spot that you will always be able to tell if the bucket is flat or tilted up or down by referencing that spot
Sweet. You should paint “Deer John” on the side of that bad boy.
brings back fond memories of my 4 Olivers. The last an OC 3 IND.
Definitely a capable machine now. Good job, great video.
Central California watching
Thanks for sharing definitely should put a few hundred pounds of weight in the rear probably hang some old tractor weights on it and then it wouldn’t feel tippy when bucket is full
Very cool! Great content once again, thanks for posting!
I have never seen peanut butter in a transmission. Thank you
Awesome video. Keep up the great work!
nice little loader youv'e built there!, good job!
Thanks for sharing this video. it was fun watching you work on this old machine. Actually laughed out load a couple of times.
I discovered your channel three weeks ago and I have to say it has been one of the best discoveries of the year. This video was simply incredible, thank you very much for the content and the effort you put into making them.
Cool lowbuck project 👍 everyone remember Jesus Christ is the answer through the good and the bad . 🙏✝️
Jesus loves you, the rest of us think your an a*shole
Just FYI split type lock washers don't actually do anything. That's why you don't ever see them in automotive or industry applications anymore.
What a cool machine! And you really gave it some love! I'm wondering if I can find an engine like that for my '47 Checy. The original engine is mighty tired, and I want something with pressurized oil for the rod bearings....
Doo doo brown brother may not run u doing all that to it lol
That thread chaser tool is really cool never seen that before.
I don't know much about hydraulic systems but wouldn't the same amount of hydraulic oil have to flow through both filters regardless of where they are?
What did you do with all that wonderful taffy?
Gloves? We don't need no stinking gloves!
mom found the oil sock
it's so over
Strong work, the paint job looks mint!
I have to wash my hands now after that
What a great little machine...and green is always a good color, except when drinking. BTW, I love that you decorated your kids obstacle course with very large and spiked cactus plants. Growing up tough, growing up New Mexico!!!..;-))
Great work, good results, upgrade and upcycling 👍💨💨
I love this deal. A great video with an old dependable Oliver 3 ton crawler loader being repaired to it's expected standard. It was successful. And I have a four ton old dependable loader that needs very much the same stuff doing to it. So for me it's also inspiration. After some lengthy part rebuilding and some expense, the old girl is losing it's appeal slightly. Not quitting but a short break is as good as a rest doing some other interesting and fun stuff. Now as I find myself having to get back on with it before details are too hazy - here's Low Buck Garage with an inspirational vidocumentary, right on time!!! 👍👌👌👍💪
This was definitely a job worth doing. Epic repair and recommissioning of the loader! 👌
Wow that is one great little machine, it's awesome and I think that the paint color is great. Gerald Ingram, New Zealand.
Cute and strong... but with circulatory ailments.....concentrated body fluids had accumulated moisture and were becoming emulsified ....constipated and impacted elimination...HMMMM
WE SUGGEST I QT OF CASTOR OIL AND A DASH OF HORSERADISH...
"Let's put that together and pretend everything is gonna be fine!"
Omg this guy is bone Dry to the core! 😂😂😂
Every second Comment is worth a quote on a T-shirt! Lmfao.
Nothing fazes him, so what could go wrong? Lol.
Great Fun to watch
But you are so close to 60k!
Forget the gauges and charging system - just weld some teeth to the bucket and let her rip!
Great job!
If you add a BURRITO HOLDER to the rear of your dozer, that will also help with better weight distribution... and it'll make your dozer even more FUN.
Loader ,not a dozer . And yes there is a difference . Try loading with a dozer .
@@jefffindley5870 Well, that escalated quickly... and sarcastically. Was such pedantry over a humour based post necessary / satisfying to you..???
@@paulosborne6517 just pointing out a fact . Didn't mean to offend you .
