- We recovered this broken down old Caterpillar D2 Bulldozer in a New Zealand forest a while ago. There was water in the engine oil so we stripped it down to investigate, suspected blown head gasket.
We discovered multiple issues... - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I don't mean this to be derogatory in anyway. You guys are the definition of shade tree mechanics! Old Cat dozers are my favorite. Makes me happy to see them come alive again
No offense taken, some of the best mechanics I know work under a shade tree ;)
two, possibly 3 (showing from earlier in the same room) people and they just laid the torch on the table, and even left it running while standing up, ya'll are crazy, keep it up man.
Nice work putting the valve retainers in! Very slick.
My husband and I like how relaxed you guys work together 👍
This is one of those awkward moments when you have to admit to yourself you are getting more excited watching this than a 100 million dollar film.
When you wish you were there, with a few mates,a few beers, and a BBQ,putting the world to rights and exercising your minds and hands.
The awkward moment is admitting that the age you got to now, you get more excitement out of watching a liner "pop" out, than the bare body of some starlet, or the villain spraying the room with bullets.
Am i getting old or is this just the best therapy? Thanks, and on the edge of my seat waiting!
It is just interesting, start, middle and end , they get to drive and play! Awesome aye
No fancy intros or background music just straight to the point
And they know what they are doing, more so than a lot of us. I can take anything apart--it's the putting it back together correctly that I'm still working on.
@@k.r.baylor8825 Take more pictures; I try not to think about it but labeling things does help some people.
I’m still voting bare starlet
The razor blade in the vise grips was pure genius!!! Most under rated seconds of this video!
When I was in the military, back right after the Three Wise Men came through, I ran a diesel generator repair shop and we were brought in an ancient Cat that had to be fixed by Monday. I pointed out that we repaired diesel generators and this thing was a dozer. The Commander pointed out that he did not have a dozer repair shop but he did have me. By the time he left he had convinced me that if that dozer wasn’t fixed by 0800 hours on Monday I would be working on it as it was being delivered by a C-130. We got it done 0445 hours Sunday. What you guys are doing in the middle of no where is unbelievable. My hats off to you.
You guys are so funny. I absolutely love it. You find a random old tractor in the forest even notice. The head is blown and still remove it. I love that great job.
I've been following my uncle work with heavy machine since i was 12 years old, now I'm 29 and have my own workshop, working with those heavy thing is not easy and dangerous, 5 time got in hospital, it was a memories that i never forget.. Good job sir!
If TV had a channel with engine rebuilds, machine rebuilds and restorations
I'd still have a TV
I love how calm and relaxed you work on the machine. Great to watch. We Germans tend to go rogue if things dont go as fast as we want.
Popping that sleeve out startled me a bit! Good job!
I just shit my pants😂😂
Cheers from Canada to my Commonwealth brothers! Kudos for your skills, tenacity and methodical approach to getting these old girls rolling again.
The beginning has begun. Nothing has been easy and you have persevered. Proud to watch progress.
Soon parts will arrive and reassembly will commence.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for rescuing this historical piece of equipment
Warms my old heart to you guys bringing one back from the dead. Cheers!
I hope Squatch 253 watches this to see how it should be done! I love both styles of working, I'm somewhere in between when I recondition engines or gearboxes. Great vid. Thanks.
It is funny to watch one end of the spectrum to the other, Squatch253 would be doing cartwheels when he saw them banging the liner out from the bottom of the engine.
You have some incredibly good friends. The never quit attitudes from both of you shine throughout.
Loved this video.. reminds me of watching my grandfather repair and maintain his fleet of Cats (a D2, D6 and a D8 - 40's and 50's) - some a bit older than this one. Cheers from Winnipeg, Canada.
So wonderful to just watch something ‘normal’...I have been immersed for weeks in the Corona Virus data and I just can’t tell you what a mental relief it is to just see something normal and from before.
Dont stress about it man. It will be just another virus in a couple weeks
Yeah just like the Ebola scare.
Coronavirus has killed 600 people. Tragic I know, but the ‘flu kills 50000 a year, every year for at least the last 100 years. Potential Pandemics make great headlines, but a sense of proportion needs to be retained.
takes me back... my dad had his own earthmoving business when I was growing up. D6C, couple of D8Hs and later on D8Ks and high sprocket D7 and D8L I think. but anyway, we did most of our own mechanical work. this is all very familiar to me! cheers.
Boy does this bring back memories...
I like watching your repairs and fixes. Some of those valve seats and valves should have been replaced.
I don't know jack about engines, i've never done any mechanical work, save from changing oil and filters a couple times, so i don't know why this is so fun to watch..
but it is.
it's fun to watch.
nice video. keep 'em coming!
@@kingtut5923 Wise words. I'm about as mechanical as a Feijoa, but have learnt a bit from these videos. I'm a kinesthetic learner, so I appreciate this kinda material. Lots of people are though. -School only really works for a certain type of person I reckon. ➕
Great work guys, thanks for documenting 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍
You guys are amazing, anybody else would take a torch to it and see how much they could get for the scrap. I love what you two do, REAL men.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this, reminds me of when I was a kid helping my dad working on our cars.
Working methodically.
Seeing how much work it is to fix it, plus you have to know what you are doing, it's somewhat understandable some people would just abandon it and get a new one, if there's such an option. It's great to see it being fixed, though. At the very least it should have been recycled.
Thumbs up for the win. Watching from Tauranga.
I just watched squatch253 pull injector cups last night. Looks like a legit pain in the butt! Loving the project so far!
Your human ingenuity to overcome the obstacles you've confronted has been brilliant! We often take risks to complete a project, but the weight and mass of this could be debilitating. Be safe! Look forward to you bringing this toss away to life. Thanks.
This has become my favorite channel.
same
I like the birds and the quite voice of Marty explaining stuff, but have you seen the channel with the dutch guys restoring a tank?
@@tuneskramer69 I second that favourite channel and most relaxing and valuable. What’s the Dutch channel? please
@@benwinstanley101 Mastermilo
Expanding and contracting the stuck parts is a brilliant idea
That is how mechanics have done it since for ever.
@@Einungbrekke And just about anybody that works on old stuff!
@@JonDingle That is a mechanic. Don't have to go to school to be a good mechanic ;)
Excellent start to my morning. Wakeup and there's a video just uploaded. Kiwi stuck working in Ireland.
Very nice project! The valves and the valves seat looks very pitted !
great to see u re-purposing and breathing life back into old abandoned equipment.. love your work.. keep it up. (top stuff)
But after all the investment it is still JUNK!
I love heavy equipment, it has always fascinated me since I was a young boy. It saddens me to see a piece of equipment just sit and rust away, it's so wasteful. I guess that's why your videos caught my eye. It's very satisfying to watch y'all work and rescuing these old work horses. The first video of yours I watched was the one where you got the free excavator off the trail. Thanks for posting and keep up the good work. I'm definitely a subscriber to your channel now.
Make sure to be carful when spraying break cleaner on hot metal as it can create extremely hazardous fumes. Love watching you work Marty 👍
@@Darryl603 don't forget "break"!
Inaccurate. First it has to be chlorinated, second it has to be exposed to intense UV, third it has to be exposed to intense heat.
@Paolo G They have both versions, and again.... it takes intense UV.
@@ShainAndrews Like welding. Do not ever use brake cleaner for cleaning parts or fitups for welding.
Still wouldn't use it as shown though.
Good point, I always hold my breath around any kind of fumes or stay upwind, never know what is going to do damage
So I'm having trouble finding a mechanic willing to replace my car engine and you two are having fun rebuilding something in that state! good on you :)
Hmmmmm, Injectors froze up----Hammer Drill. Worked in a shop that did a lot of diesel engines in addition to marine pumps. We lapped using a slow speed drill and for these PIA parts that got frozen up... Some joyjiuce, then heat, then hammer drill and it made short easy work of things without any damage... Wow! There was a lot of gunk inside under that liner! Wasn't expecting that. Got a lot done.
You guys rock . To do what you’ve done and watch reminds me of my grandfather as I was a lil boy watching him rebuild all kinds of stuff back then you didn’t throw stuff away like now but then again stuff back then was made to last and be able to be rebuilt if it needed to be keep up the great work and videos and thanks for bringing back good memories of my grandfather kids now a day wouldn’t get this type of stuff just so cool 😎
With a head like that you could lap the valves with a drill on the stem and low speed up and down reverse forward. Works pretty good. Thanks for sharing...
Dear Darryl 603
That's what I instantly thought too!
2) In my opinion at least one valve seat will not seal up completely. The seats of the rusty cylinder should have been treated with a valve seat cutter.
Best regards luck and health.
I guess there are a lot of people like me, just wishing they could be there, getting their hands full of grease and grime and bending a breaker bar to remove an injector. Love these videos. Good job you fellows.
I am along all the way on this one, from England, looking forward to the final part just before she comes back to life, i have never doubted you Marty.
The biggest diesel I ever overhauled was a 2.2 liter toyota L. Always and always would I want to take the engine I am working on out of the vehicle and refurbish the rest of the vehicle inch by inch.But this is massive by my standards.Anyway this is great.Thank you.
One thing that happens on other channels is they start buying massive amounts of new tools and machines. That's when they get boring. I like Marty because he uses common tools to do an amazing job.
I'd consider myself a bit of a rufty-tufty bloke, but when you're crawling around this beast, half jacked up in a "let's just get this job done" way, my back door was rattling it's hinges a bit. That's some heavy engineering =;-)) Nice, satisfying work, though. Lovely to see rescue/restorers at work; love anything pre-digital and this is nearer pre-historic!
No fancy workshop here. Done in the field like a true Kiwi lol. Just watching out for the No 8 fencing wire. No wonder it was abandoned. If you had to pay for the repairs, you might as well buy a replacement.
Pre-digital is so robust. For example, I can't stand digital washing machines. The circuit board almost always fails in humid environments before anything else. Mechanical controls are more reliable.
@@jycalcano5893 Trudat, mate.
@@jycalcano5893 Right here I have a tip for you, I like to use one of those laser thermostats to measure temperature on those washing machine circuit boards, if its below 20c under operating temperature = glaze it with silicone or 2 part epoxy, that'll keep it from corroding :D
Thanks to this youtube recommendation i'm looking at Bulldozer engine parts which i have no idea because i'm in the health care field of work
Thanks, Marty. Looking forward to the next one.
Is it just me or does everyone find it utterly satisfying for something to finally break loose and come out with a lot of heat and a loud pop?
Wow, that is amazing, finding this abandoned machine in the bush, then taking the time and money to revive this unit..
If you have the time and the inclination....
Thought the injectors were never coming out. Great job, nice tricks to ease the pain. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the next installment.
This is the kind of work that is lost with my generation, love watching this and learning from the old school guys.
Great to see you resurrect this old American machine. Glad to see you can still get the parts.
Absolutely hat off on everything! Aswell as filming ! And still in your calm stride ! Fair play chief
When you removed the injector chambers be happy they didn’t have glow plugs because you have to use different spacer rings to get them at the right angle. Worked on the assembly line installing.
Perfect timing! Just got home and having some din and get to watch someone else work! Hahaha! Well done, sir!

Morning just having breakfast in England. Can’t wait to see her running.
@@bacilluscereus1299 Do not be absurd. I work hard. You sound the type who has his hands out looking for what he can get for free at the expense of someone else. Then when you get your fill off of someone else's work you put your hands back in your pockets and whistle as you lounge. Be gone from us!
@@bacilluscereus1299 Try Retirement boys. I can do this everyday....ALL day if I want. Getting old is great. Met my ex boss a month ago...Told him he's a effing ...something, Walked home laughing.
@@jamesa7506 Try a since of humour Jimmy . YOU are absurd!
This is great, nice job Marty filming and editing for us to see the process, it’s been years since this ol girls been opened up and looked at and cleaned
what a mess, good to see you working with mates though!
Great job brother thank you for taking us along.
These videos are great, I love old equipment like this. It’s put in its work it deserves to live again.
That was great Marty T! Can't wait to see Part 3! Thank you so much for sharing!!! Happy Tooling!
This is a great series. I can't stop thinking [or saying apparently], how glad I am that I found your channel. There's one benefit to finding channels after it's been around a while; you don't have to wait for the next video. 😉 Btw, I noticed the tool patterns embossed into your friends shop floor-I wish I'd of thought of that. God bless.
Getting on with it! Can't drop too much money into this Cat , can't wait to see the next instalment. I love a good serial!
glad to see the ol gal will be up an goin again
Yes! Been anxiously waiting for part two. Love your videos
My compliments to you. It certainly a project and you're willing to do it. I hope finding any replacement parts isn't a big issue. Good luck.
Thanks Marty been waiting for No. 2 on this rebuild making great progress look forward to the rest of the build
Pro tip............to remove liners, first run beads of weld up them, it shrinks the liners and makes them easy to pull. When installing the new liners, put them in a freezer first and tap them in while cold, as quickly as possible. Talk about funky injectors!
Awesome work !
You guys have all the fun(????). Sasquatch in Minn would be proud.
Haha the clamp holding the drill. Kiwi ingenuity at its finest
thanks for sharing..interesting rebuild
Murray Ball would have been inspired by your antics and efforts Marty. I can see the cartoons now. You have Dog already, and I half expect cheeky Hobson to make an appearance at some point. You just need a bit of “Slice of Heaven as back ground music” and your all set for the movie. Awesome vid guys appreciate it.
Good work. I usually run a copper brush on a grinder to clean up the desk, but as long as it's clear that's the main thing
Great video. Great channel. Its encouragement for all of us to take on these projects. Thanks for filming steps we can all follow along.
Favourite channel full stop!
Well done. I'm looking forward to see what you and your mate do next. 🇦🇺🍻👍
cool i like your way of working around obstacles !
i found it remarkable that the tracks turned !
Those tracks do not use grease. They are run dry. Thus no matter how old, they will turn if the transmission is disengaged and the machine is towed....
All this invaluable combined knowledge like the brake cleaner cooling trick and he still grabbed it after heating... lol The look on his face was priceless (I've made that face before but that's all I'll admit lol)! I'm a wee bit behind catching up on some of these vids but this is an excellent series. :)
What you guys do is great, saving old equipment especially the d2 cat is a priceless trade and skill, it's much like repair and renovations on a beautiful old home.
I wonder if there's some old trucks you can find just saw your in NZ I know they love the A and B model Kenworth just west of you
Love seeing you using the wire brush. That's a must have for every shop.
You guys sure are not afraid of doing surgery!!!! That is a lot of work and time.
Hello Marty. We do a lot of cylinder heads. We have a tool that goes in the stand drill for extracting the valves. You can expect anything with something that age. There's still some oil about it.
You guys are getting some crazy sense of achievement, at each and every mile stone, luv it!
Bloody brillant! Just got home from a day at college and I see this pop up!
‘Collage’?
@@tutekohe1361 college*
I always thought Tasmanian Hillbillys lived in the bush between Wayatinah and Ouse, and never went to school, let alone college :)
@@einfelder8262 My relatives come from Ouse! 😂😂
@@TasmanianHillBilly nice part of the world!
Can't wait for Part 3. You guys are certainly putting in the work on this one. But a good old piece of heavy equipment is almost always worth it. Good thing I wasn't paying really close attention when that liner came out of I probably would have needed to check my pants, lol. Also I love seeing assemblies that utilize castle nuts, cotter pins, safety wire, etc. Safety measures that help to ensure that in the event of a failure that damage is as minimal as can be.
Perfect for a friday afternoon and a couple of beers, cheers Marty.
@6:52 Seriously, you're going to lap that seat ? I tip my hat. You're braver than I thought.
Bit by bit and piece by piece, fun to watch and learn.
Think I just found a possible binge worthy channel
This is an awesome contrast to Squatch253! Where he's performing surgery in a hospital with scalpels and anticeptic, you guys are doing triage in the field with duct tape and gum.
Speaking of Squatch253, I see no comments from him!
I prefer this type of rebuild. Squatch253 goes to far.
@@stephenhunter70 He's really, really busy. I'd be surprised if he even watches other channels!
I posted a link to this on his latest video
@@johnlemmey7698 I am 100% certain that Good Ole Squatch253 gives exactly zero "fracks" what you think. PS, you don't get to define what is "too far" on someone else's project.
One of the best channels out there , thanks for the videos
Glad to see an old machine coming 1 step closer to running
That cylinder liner popping up scared the Sh@! out of me ! Nice job, i can't believe it came out so easily.
Pretty BIG Job... Loving the rebuilds...
Love that ad with the kids lol.
Amazing upload with everything explained even to a not so good mechanic like myself the sleeve popping out made me jump hello from Australia
I nearly soiled my underwear when that sleeve popped loose.
yup, me too. :-D
Haha made me jump to 👍
Was not expecting a little jump scare haha
Me too I didn’t know they were sprung!
never had one pop like that in my engine rebuilding career
Good stuff.
