Got the final housings fully disassembled and learned that the bull gears aren't letting go without a fight! Channel Memberships available! / @squatch253
I hear you Squatch and have now become a member as I feel it is the least I can do for all your hard work and pleasure you have given us. Greetings from Scotland by the way!
i sincerely hope your passion/knowledge of these fine old machines will translate to the younger generation..these machines harken back to better times of manufacturing and quality...my thanks to You and Your Dad...
That's a neat trick using the rubber tie down (bungee) strap for holding the bearing from falling. I've used magnetic bases like what you would use for a dial indicator in the past. I'll have to remember that trick
I can't wrap my head around it or understand who engineers and thinks all this stuff up !!! It was a different time and a different mindset that's what makes these machines so nostalgic.
Those shafts coming out is a thing of beauty. I can only speak for myself. I'm so happy that we can give back to your channel. You have taken considerable time and effort to educate and enrich us. Thank you.
Toby You have my absolute admiration. You are such an accomplished mechanic who demonstrates your skills so well, everyone can learn from it. And the bonus is beautifully produced videos. I never appreciated the fine detailed engineering behind older Caterpillars before seeing your content. It's a revelation for me. Thank you
That's A very versatile piece of kit squatch; you won't be disappointed with that extra push-pull when needed. Play safe from Elliot Lake, Ontario, Canada.
That press is beautiful. Awesome that revenue from the channel helps with purchases like that. It works out for you to get the job done the right way, and gives us guys watching enjoyable videos, it goes full circle. Keep up the good work love the content
Proud to be supporting the Squatch tool crib. Not many "memberships" have tool procurement as part of the reinvestment bylaws. ;-) Love it!! Thanks for putting my nickels back into the channel.
Man sound like you got your hands full with those final drive! I tell you what! Your channel is the best there is out there loving every minute of it! Looking forward to the next chapter on the d2 rebuild. 👌😎👍
I get excited when it comes to pullers and presses. For so many years. I pounded and pounded on things. Eventually built a nice big press. Out of old scrap iron laying around. Got a nice big 30 ton bottle jack for it. Can't tell you how satisfying it is to press something off. That I know wouldn't budge. If I didn't have it!!!
Those break pads are like new that could be why those pins came out so easy I bet someone worked on it before she was parked it’s awesome buddy love watching your videos
Squatch, I have learned so much watching your channel....Thanks!! I wish I had your experience right now in removing a broken exhaust stud from an Oliver 66 cylinder head!! I’m wary about causing more harm while trying to extract it.
That bull gear is really hanging on! When you get that new press set up and ready to go, that thing is going to have to give. With the Squatch, "failure is not an option". 😉
I have a set just like that. Im sure you will build a suitable box for it. I like to store all the threaded rods in oiled pvc tubes. That way I can throw it my service truck and not worry about hurting it.
You are a serious hoot tonight, my friend. Beside the greasy, grimy gears you offered up, you provided the mind pictures of the herniated UPS guy, the pressman with racing stripes in his skivvies and the spector of the Borkinator lurking in the bushes; a Hat Trick vlog if there ever was one!!! Rock on!!
I have never owned, driven, or worked on heavy tractor equipment, but I have followed this build, your Dads build, and other stuff you have done and absolutely loved every second. Thanks.
Really enjoy your videos watching you working on those bull gears reminds me of when I was 13 my daddy had a 933 cat track loader his partner was operating it down at the bottom of a deep valley sunk in some soft stuff over the floor boards then stripped out the bull gear on one side. We had to hire the biggest dozer to pull it out and he had to use a snatch block with a double line. Then we worked most of the winter after work and Saturdays fixing all that stuff. Had to carry all the tools down and back up that hill it was a tough job that was in 1968. You make it look easy thanks for the good information
I was scrolling down TH-cam one day and there were these two guys trying to get an old Caterpillar tractor out of the dirt, leaves, branches and what not. Shoot, how are they gonna do that? It looked liked like an old crusty, rusted piece of iron, why do they want to work so hard for that? I saw you get it on the trailer, all excited, it looked just awful....I had to see the next episode. Well, I have to say this really is so interesting, so much history and the condition it is in is astounding! I often think of the man who owned it and took, what I see, is very good care of it, wonder what happened to him, and it’s sad because you know he died and the Cat just sat there and sat there. Watching your rebuild of this mans prized possession is just so cool, I never thought I’d find myself watching a total refurbishment of a Caterpillar tractor but I’m loving every episode! Thanks so much, can’t wait to see that new ram in action! Take care
OTC (SPX) used to be one my radio customers. I have been in their factory many times in Owatonna. Pretty good company. They do make good quality equipment. Glad they are available for you.
I remember when Fastenal first came to where I live, probably in 1997 or 8. It was amazing to go to a place and ask them for an anchor or a piece of channel or some epoxy for a certain material and the people there don't look at you as if you ask for moon rock. I used Grainger for years before that and used to have the huge catalog they sent out. Two great sources of parts, lots of stock to choose from and quick service on what has to sent from one of their other stores. Yes when you need it, if they don't have it you are in for a lot of hunting.
Loving the videos. I originally did not like the series because I am impatient but now I am invested in it to see something come together piece by piece over time. The small tricks and enjoyment of seeing old iron is well worth it. 22 minutes goes by quick!
Glad to help out. Try Area Diesel service in Illinois for D2 injectors and injector service. If you need transmission parts Goodall transmission in Columbus Ohio will probably have what you need.
I'm glad to be a small part of the we and what is funny to me is I retired in 2019 at age 70 after 52 years of carpentry and I really dont like grease funny
A rose bud tip would be a good investment, you need to get more heat to the outside of the taper quicker. Wish I lived closer i farm and do machine work for the oil field, it would be fun making tools for you, i kind of fear for your thread on the end of the shaft when you go to putting 30 tons on it.
MAN YOU ARE ONE SMART INDIVIDUAL! ALL THAT YAKETY-YAK, BLAH-BLA-BLAH AND NO SCRIPT PLUS YOU HAD ME GLUED LIKE GAMBLING FIEND LISTENING TO THE KENTUCKY DERBY! YOU GO, AND WAY MORE POWER TO YOU.......WITH ALL DUE RESPECT!
Great update. If first you don't succeed, try try again. If I didn't have two grade school aged kids I would be all in on a membership. Best I can do is always watch your ads all the way without skipping. I do appreciate how you put the ads at a natural pause point in the video. Hope Your folks are doing well. Take care!
@@squatch253 thanks man. I've been invested since 5J11 came home. I watched you load her on the trailer. This is such a special meaningful series for me and I have LOVED every minute of following your journey.
I had a nearly 30yr old original u-joint in my Cherokee front drive axle that wouldn't come out. I didn't want to smash the yoke with the press, so i pressed as far as I dare, then applied heat with the propane torch. when it finally let go, so did my bladder! It was as loud as a gunshot and my ears were ringing. no caffeine needed that day
About the 50T puller, I know it's a sound purchase, has channell appeal and you can offset its cost reselling the 20T unit, but I suspect that with your ingenuity and skills you would have been able to remove these shaft working the 20T and shop press together. Sorry if someone else had said that already.
Just for haaa hahhhs I tried to look up the cost on a new 3 1/2” wrench. I found a Williams for $350, Wright for $850, Proto for $1440 and Snap-On $1015. I’d say you made out OK for $4. :)
We used to rebuild the brake bands in epicyclic gearboxes going back 45 yrs ish when i was an apprentice they were semi automatic boxes either spring operated or air hydracyclic happened later so yes that bought back memories
Out of curiosity, how many were some form of English Wilson design ? Wilson preselector transmissions and WWII tank transmissions had lots of brake bands.
@@paulmanson253 they would have been that type of design one thing i do remember when putting into neutral you really had to be careful if you missed the full force of the spring came back through the pedal and trapped your foot under the seat these were what we called half cab buses
One of my latest sleepless nights I was thinking about the previous video when you inspected the bull gears. YES I know you don't have them dis-assembled and FULLY inspected BUT, with the wear on the gear teeth from forward motion you were showing, why couldn't you put the left Bull Gear on the right side and the Right Bull Gear on the left (Along with the corresponding pinions). That way you would have basically a fresh smooth gear tooth for forward motion..... Damn I wish I slept better..... LoL...
Cool idea using a bungee cord to hold the bearing after you drive it out. Gotta love press fit tappers, I have to use my brothers 50 ton set stuff really gets scary on a D8 14A
I stumbled across the 5J1113 build videos about a week ago and apparently I have binged all 90 some odd already... lol. Love the channel, love the content. Much respect for how you take the time to explain and educate. I see this channel taking off in the future, especially after this project has a full video set to completion. One question I have to ask, and maybe I missed it, but what is the specs/back story on the “H” beam bench in the yard? Got to get me one of those! Thanks, really looking forward to future 1113 content.
Putting stuff under tension can lead to soft fleshy bits meeting hard steel things with some force, are you sure the hose from the pump to the ram is long enough?
Don't feel too bad, I have bent a 20 ton press on a rusted Subaru A arm bushing. Ended up snagging a good a arm out of a junkyard that popped out with barely any effort.
Was that Rick Bork that borrowed my lawn mower? OOP's sorry the wife said that was Richie, one of the Ugly Brothers; in my defense they do look a lot alike. So um-aw never mind.😂
your videos are so cool. I know your shop is heated ? right? The last one I watched you cleaned the shop Still looks good. Q: what was this CAT used for? So clean inside the final drive box. Keep the videos coming , still need some theme music A team.
I had to pull finals off a mid 70's CAT low drive side boom and the puller was almost the same as in your book except the pressure to install and remove were a bit higher so all the rams and rods were bigger lol. The removal force is 85T and install is 450* heat and 55T of pressure. Had to use the crane on service truck to hold the pressing and the shop overhead to life the final drive gear. Unlike the high drive that is so easy the low drive is very labor intensive.
Have you tried your local Cat dealer for removal of them? Although if the need for it on other equipment is present the yes you should get the larger ram.
Excellent video where did you order the hollow ram puller pusher from I have been looking for a unit like that to add to my other puller. I hope you don't mind me asking that. The 20 ton shop press is handy but they have there limits too
Hi Squatch, no regrets to spending money on good tools! Nice to see the project coming along.
"It's amazing how stretchy that cheap China steel is." I like that!
The rubber bungee is a genius little trick.
I hear you Squatch and have now become a member as I feel it is the least I can do for all your hard work and pleasure you have given us. Greetings from Scotland by the way!
“Redonkulous”. One of my favorite words too. Glad we could help out with the press.
Another great video! Real nice you explain how to take parts out that you are not taking out. Thank You Sir!
Re-creating the Caterpillar service tool set, one piece at a time.......
Glad to be able to financially support this channel.........
"ping" K A P O P !!!! I laughed so hard I cried. Great story teller and a good story does it every time.
Ask the technician - there may have also been a ka-P O O P !!
@@squatch253 Holycow, you had to clean up the threads, dang. 25 ton ain't nothing to sneeze at. Thanks for the video.
i sincerely hope your passion/knowledge of these fine old machines will translate to the younger generation..these machines harken back to better times of manufacturing and quality...my thanks to You and Your Dad...
That's a neat trick using the rubber tie down (bungee) strap for holding the bearing from falling. I've used magnetic bases like what you would use for a dial indicator in the past. I'll have to remember that trick

Hope the channel grows enough so that you can afford any equipment you need. I'll keep watching.

And be released from the life sentence and the ford shop.
@@Adamu98 Your post about getting released early from the Ford prison were spot on!
Those shafts drifting out is absolutely beautiful.

I can only speak for myself. I'm so happy that we can give back to your channel. You have taken considerable time and effort to educate and enrich us. Thank you.
It is your practical approach that makes your channel great. Not just throwing money at a problem, thank you.
That bungee cord is pretty clever. Loved to see OTC tool even though is really just name only after all the buyouts.
So looking forward to seein the Squatch bull gear removal set up 🤔💪💪

I've used my 30 ton log splitter to push some stubborn parts apart. Worked like a charm and didn't cost a penny!
I just watched The Ford Garage with Squatch253 from Dec 2019. I hope you made Mr Bork pay dearly. Evil low bass laugh. LOL
Really enjoying your videos. Well organized, edited and narrated.

It's certainly worth getting the right tool for the job. Like others have said, I'm glad to be part of the team.

Thank you for the video.Finally figured out what black thing was that kept the bearing from dropping, neat trick!
I love how clean you work.
Neat trick with the bungie while drifting the bearings out. Ill have to file that in the memory banks
Very good video as always, thank you very much
Great channel Squatch. Can't wait tell the next vid.
Tools are a mechanic's best investment!!! Thanks!
More tooling 👍 love seeing you making tooling for your needs, Mother of necessity...
"Drill bits.....drill bits"
Love your sense of humor.
Just gets better all the time. Congrats on the new ram!
The machine has not been made that can stump the ingenuity of the Squatch!
Major undertaking and fun to watch you succeed.

After the D2 is done, is your RD 6 narrow gauge going to get some of your care? That big 3 cylinder would be awesome!
Glad to see you’re investing in tools to keep doing what you love. I can only offer comments thumbs up and my sub but I’ll keep giving them!
When striking the press with the hammer loved the ring gong sound probably the return springs. Nice job keep up the work.

Just asking, may not be possible, but with pressures drifting north of 25 tons what about doubling up your safety nut?
I had to pull finals off a mid 70's CAT low drive side boom and the puller was almost the same as in your book except the pressure to install and remove were a bit higher so all the rams and rods were bigger lol. The removal force is 85T and install is 450* heat and 55T of pressure. Had to use the crane on service truck to hold the pressing and the shop overhead to life the final drive gear. Unlike the high drive that is so easy the low drive is very labor intensive.
Have you tried your local Cat dealer for removal of them? Although if the need for it on other equipment is present the yes you should get the larger ram.
"Did not want to press your luck"......lol
