I'm a lead technician at a construction John Deere shop, I've been wrenching on equipment professionally for 20 years and Jimmy about 6 years gave me the inspiration to get back into creating outside of work versus creating and repairing at work. The things my kids and I have learned that I apply in my day to day, be it at work or at home just by watching his videos are immeasurable. To wake up this morning and see him giving this piece of American history a new lease on life has got me so excited and has reminded me yet again. Get off that couch and do more, go outside your comfort zone and learn more, create more and just do more. Thanks Jimmy for inspiring us all!
That is so true! I was just thinking while watching this vid how much inspiration I've gained over the last few years from the likes of Jimmy, Bob Clagget, Marc Spagnuolo, Neil Paskin, Adam Booth, Chris Salamone, Quinn Dunki, James Clough, Wesley Treat, of course Adam Savage, and so many more than I can list right now. Things like how to visualize a project better and order of operations, just for starters. And "Thank You!" Jimmy, for inspiring and energizing so many of them!
Now you understand why John Deere kept the two cylinder for so long. They wanted the average low education farmer to be able to fix it with the basic tools they might have on the farm. And for it to last a lifetime. Have a 1950 John Deere m 2-cylinder except for the starter still running all original for mowing the roadsides around my property
When they say vintage being fixed and renewed, with a masterclass level of ability and knowledge and wisdom, they mean you, Jimmy Diresta. Always a pleasure.
I restored a couple of them, a couple MCs and a real early flywheel start linderman John Deere. You are quite the Craftsman, I live up in Grafton not too far from you.
I love this because it envokes so many memories of growing up on a New Jersey farm. Please rename this video.... "Made to run forever in the USA" John Deere.
As a child I loved to build models , I did it all the time and they lasted until the 4 th of July . You my brother are building models but they are Life size . Stay safe Stay well to Taylor , Rob and you my brother..... I'm glad I woke up on Sunday to find it wasn't a dream on Saturday.
I generally love the content on this channel. This video felt like a deviation from the standard level of quality. A one day rattle can restoration about made my green blood boil. I'm glad it was saved and not scrapped, but this classic rig deserved better
Thank you I am a one man operation for 12 years now. Just me on camera and edit and producing . Some videos are quicker To make then others. This was one. 🤘🏼🙏🏼
That is so cool!! love the old John Deere crawlers!! I STRONGLY recommend that you get a flapper cap for the straight pipe exhaust!! We used to have an old massy tractor from the '30s (as a guess) that my dad and grandpa would start up in the summers just to tool around on. it had a straight pipe that needed the CAN put on. One year, the can blew off and the rain went into the cylinders and rusted it up tight. I still feel a loss for that!! I was just a kid, but that was a lot of fun! thanks!!
This is so cool my cousin had one of these on the dairy farm to haul trees from the bush in the winter… very nimble in a huge bush lot also ran like a top… much love from deep river, Ontario, Canada 👊✌️🇨🇦
I never knew I wanted a bulldozer until Thanks so much for showing the finished product up front! That's a really important things so many tubers miss!
Okay this made me so happy! It kind reminded me that you’re just like all of us. Sometimes you just want to get something running and have fun with it. This was incredible
I was REALLY hoping that when I didn't see a ton of Instagram stories last night, that meant that you were editing this! What a great video! PERFECT for a Saturday morning! Well done!

Thank you! thank you! ☺️☺️☺️
I hear you loud and clear
I say Yabba Dabba Doo on this great rescue!

Now get your company to stop destroying the freedom of american farmers to repair their own equipment.
Just noticed you crossed 2million subs. Congrats Jimmy.
My dreams of driving a bulldozer have finally come to life 🙌🏼 This one was a fun rescue! 🚜

Great work!
@@2naturesownplace Now, it's the exact opposite. If you try to fix your John Deere, your warranty is voided and they sue you
Beautiful!
Is there anything more satisfying than an old engine coming back to life?! What a beast!
Now that's what my previous employer would call a Sherwin Williams overhaul with a comfort option,thanks for the video🤗😎🤗😎
So great. More Rob please. He’s a great character in Jimmy’s world.
Now that was really cool. Thanks for sharing.
looks good as new

Another vehicle saved from the scrappers, well done mate 👍🇦🇺
When that thing kicked over, it was just joyous! Good work!
This was a fun one! Rob was definitely the hero of this resto. She runs and looks great now! Thanks for sharing!
Another win for the legendary ice-pick
That tractor is the same age as my dad (70)! It’s good to see it fired up again!
Hammer to Fit, Paint to match... Thanks for sharing. Great Video Jimmy and Crew.
No, paint THEN hammer 😂
what a cute little dozer cracking job
Awesome dozer, and great project. Simple machines are the old work horses of America!
Diresta been watching this stuff for a long time always been one of the best diy channels around amazing thanks
Great collaboration video.
That's a gorgeous little machine

That's one pretty old boy!
Love the humor.
Thank you.
paint and sticker job on point
Very cool, the ol rattle can resto
The decals made the aerosol overhaul first class. Welcome to the green team. Deere keeps on rolling!
Nice restoration! 😜
Expert restoration...one can of green paint at a time.
Fabulous save, so quick, practical & delightful. Glorious joy to see it all green & running again. Thank you for sharing!
I love to see these videos of old equipment brought back from the grave. Another one saved!
Have a great day Jimmy! Thanks for the video ❤
Love from Egypt jimmy❤
У взрослых мальчиков и игрушки серьёзные!!! Классный бульдозер!!!
Don’t have a use for on but I want one. Nice restoration still kept some of the aged patina
Good candidate for a restore.
Looks like a lot of fun was had by all. Thanks, Jimmy.
The anticipation of getting it to run!!! Another great video!❤❤❤
Great restoration! Grettings from Córdoba, Argentina
What a cool old find, and what work you could do with that ole gal!
In the Army we called it POD or Paint Over Dirt. It was the best way to pass inspections with things like tanks and bradleys.
Such a clean job!!! Looks brand new
Oh, what fun! A refresh on a beautiful old tractor! Jimmy, Rob, nice save guys, you should be proud! You too, Lucas!
Restoration videos are capable of evoking feelings of nostalgia. They remind us of the craftsmanship and attention to detail in the past 👍👍👍
Its great to see these old machines, get some tlc.
I absolutely love to see old machines brought back to life and given another chance.
Haha the grin on your face in that opening segment. Pure joy.
Well done Jimmy & Rob! This proves that old saying "Nothing Runs Like A Deere"! 👍👍

At the very least, Jimmy gave it a lot better than what is was previously getting...you know, just sitting there for 20 years and all...
Right to repair!
Great video!
2 mil! Congrats!
Diresta and J.D. in the morning - what's not to love😀..
Be a hell of an episode to see you repair the the blade to "good as new" in your blacksmith shop area.
Jimmy, how about another Fitzall Pod???
You 3 are fantastic!
Amazing restoration of the JOHN DEEREsta 😊👌🏼🔥
Very cool 😎 thanks Jimmy!
14:26 what a happy looking Dozer it is
Seriously giggled when she cranked and stayed running! 😂
Don’t know why but I felt a sense of accomplishment and I wasn’t even there!
That is so cool!! love the old John Deere crawlers!! I STRONGLY recommend that you get a flapper cap for the straight pipe exhaust!!

That peace on the back of the seat is to keep your tractor top link held up when not being used. I have the 430 tractor with the same seat frame
Lovely old job
Love to see old equipment come back to service. Cool video.
JD + heavy machinery....saturday afternoon just got a bit more interesting!
Looking forward to a full service.
This is so cool my cousin had one of these on the dairy farm to haul trees from the bush in the winter… very nimble in a huge bush lot also ran like a top… much love from deep river, Ontario, Canada 👊✌️🇨🇦
beautiful machine🤠👍
Nice work - these machnes deserve to be restored and preserved
That was a real Dr Frankenstein moment when it finally started up.
IT'S ALLLIIIVVVEEEEE!
Nicely Done Guys! fun video for sure!
That is one hella cool bulldozer! Excited for the rest of the video!
Great save! I hope one day you could collaborate with Engels Coach Shop in Joliet, Montana on a project. Both you guys are great craftsmen!
Another great direstoration by Jimmy Diresta . I've never seen a dozer that small .
Great find and job guys
I never knew I wanted a bulldozer until Thanks so much for showing the finished product up front! That's a really important things so many tubers miss!
Awesome work Jimmy! I’ve got an 81 ford 1200 tractor I need to get running, and this was the perfect inspiration to do it!
Brilliant find what a result 💯💯💯
Nice little dozer!
What an incredible transformation! Looks beautiful
That's Diresta type of video. More like it please
Clicked on this thinking it was a Marty T video. Plenty of good abandoned machines to go around I guess :)
I just made a MartyT reference/ comment. 😂
Awesome project, love seeing an old deere brought back to life!
Okay this made me so happy! It kind reminded me that you’re just like all of us. Sometimes you just want to get something running and have fun with it. This was incredible

I had a D-6 CAT for about 6 years. A bulldozer is a treasure. I would love that little Deere.
Jimmy You are an inspiration to many of us out there. Keep it up with the good work
Awesome rescue, you got it going far easier than I thought it would take
Good job mister Jimmy Diresta well done
Super cool guys!
Well, I would call that a maintenance rather then restoration. However the dozer now looks much better than before. Like it.
I like the term "Rescue"
How cool is that. Love the sound.
Love the direstoration. Looks like you guys had a lot of fun with it
He has a crazy charm this little bulldozer 😍 Nice job guys 👍
Very nice score on that dozer. Have fun with it.
That old tractor came right back!
Brilliant video 👍🏼👍🏼
Great work gentlemen!
Mustie1 is proud of you guys! Bravo Jimmy.
Now that there is some A-Class hillbilly heroics!
