Always Something - Dresser Track Loader Troubles
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 เม.ย. 2021
- when you dont live on your property and commute back and forth to get projects done it never goes as planned. It never fails when I get to our farm to do work something always needs to be done first before I can get my project started. This weekend was no different, got to the farm Friday night in hopes to get a good deal of work done on Saturday. First thing in the morning it was to cold for the Dresser 100 G track loader to start. It does not like to start when the temps are below 50 degrees.
So we decided to get some clean up done and some firewood cut. Did that for about 2 hours and the day was warming up nicely. Went to start the track loader and the battery was dead. If only I would have known earlier I could have hooked the battery charger up to it while we were cutting firewood.
Always Something, this time it just happened to be track loader troubles.
We ended up getting it started and even got quite a bit of work done.
Just wanted to share out struggles with you. I hope you enjoy.

I enjoy watching channels using older equipment. Gives a much more realistic scenario for 99% of people than the channels who get new "demo deals" and suddenly are a salesman for the brand.
I hear ya, I cant afford new, to be honest, couldn't afford this one. But after crunching numbers decided it was cheaper in the end to go deeper in debt than to hire someone to do everything we need done.
Joey, you're a great example of just sticking with it even when things are tough. Glad you were able to work through it and still get some of the things done you wanted to. Take care.
Thank you, I appreciate that! We have been lucky, we have not had any problems with the loader since we got it. Might be time to do a bit of maintenance before we start having problems.
Great job starting the stubborn dresser😁they can be a bear in the cold to be sure....have a great week my friend and may God bless you and that slice of heaven🤗
Yes, thank you
Oh yes so true there is always that happens unexpectedly that changes the whole day. But we just push on through and when its finally done its turns the bitter into sweetest accomplishment. Have a wonderful week.
Yep, can't stop just because something does not go the way you want it too.
Glad it wasn't a bigger hassle than it was. You're right....it's always something! 😜
Me too Dave, me too
That's so tough and one of the main reasons we've held back on buying a 2nd property. One, you have to be handy (great job) and two, you've got to be able to get to it to maintain it. Kindly, Theresa and Cam
the hardest part is when we get to the property we want to get started doing the things we went there for. we are always held up by something.
So very true Joey - I often end up doing something completely outside of what I intended because something breaks or some other priority pops up! That track loader is a beast!
We have been lucky, just minor things. But when you are wanting to get started and something holds you up, its jus frustrating.
A battery charger is a must have and can save the day. Looks like the property is coming along. Good job!
Whenever we buy a new tool we buy two, one for home and one for the property
My husband also driving a heavy equipment. Keep it friends
Thank you 👍
Glad you got it worked out. I’ve been there with you, hammering on the starter. Good job fighting through the obstacles, as usual! Thanks! -Brad
Thank you, Luckily it was something simple.
its always something . stay safe and have a great day as well
yeah, it is, but this one was a simple fix.
You are 💯 correct man! Ever time we would go to our property, (before we moved to it full time)
Something would break down or run out of stuff and need to go to town.. it’s always something lol the property is looking great so far Joey!
I figured a lot of people could relate.
Great job working through that, Joey. The land clearing is coming along well.
Rob
Thank you Rob, it is, and we are enjoying it.
Every project seems to start with fixing something that's broke first 😂😭
Ain't that the truth, I hope you have a wonderful day.
I think that is one of Murphy's laws Joey!
Me too Jack, Me too.
It seems like we are always working on the farm equipment!
Yes we are.
Not surprised about the starter because equipment that sits outside is subject to a lot of moisture and corrosion. At least you are handy enough to figure out anything and fix it...from trail cameras to dozers.
Oh, i am still learning when it comes to the loader, lots to learn.
Hey joey ... Had to look you up again because ofcourse I had no notification lol .. Alot of work but working the earth is the best .
Hi Jim, glad you found us, Love working on the farm.
Always something. I've been working on our kitchen for several days. Vehicle keeps breaking, etc. Keep up the strong fight Joey
Got to keep going Jerry, there is no other option.
Interesting that it turned out to be the starter. Wonder what was up with that. I was just talking to my husband about it and got filled in about Diesel engines and bock heaters lol! Anyhow, we can relate as he is always fixing something every time he get ma to working on a project. Have a good day!- Char😊☀️
Probably just from sitting all winter, I gave it a couple taps and it started up. I am thinking of installing a block heater in the loader. But to be honest, I have never done that before and its a little intimidating.
We had a tractor once if there was an ice cube close by it would not start, anyway glad you got some progress on your camp site.
lol, wow, mines not that bad yet. we did still manage to get a lot done that day
Always something that doesn't go as planned
Always, but we get through it.
@@MySliceOfHeavenoutdoors Of course! Hehe we'd be in trouble if we didn't :)
good thing you are handy, i am not much of a mechanic, nice video
Me either Dan, me either. But I do like tinkering.
It seems like I work more on farm equipment than I use it! Especially hay season.
I hear that, Luckily I am not there yet.
Seems like there’s always something that delays you being able to just jump into a project even when you live on the property. Sounds like that ole dresser runs good once it fires up though!
It does run well, its always something. It will be something else the next time.
big equipment always means bigger problems lol
yes it does, but I cant complain. The dresser has treated me good.
Always something isn't it, know that very well! Thank goodness mine starts even when cold, but loves the glow plugs!! Loved the video!! Always like seeing the clearing work, that thing does run really well!! Did you get a new camera ? This one was SUPER clear very good resolution! Look fwd to more!
This loader does not have glow plugs, it has an ether injector but I dont use it. I am thinking of installing an inline radiator hose heater. or maybe I will attempt a engine block heater i am not sure yet.
No, its my same camera, My cell phone, lol
@@MySliceOfHeavenoutdoors Wow, well it's really clear, this time. Maybe I was watching in higher res,and didnt know it!!😂😂 I thank goodness for the glow plugs on mine, cause even then it doesn't wanna! Thank you look fwd o more!!
I absolutely agree is never ending fixing and more fixing 👍
Good morning John, I know, right.
Nice that you got it going, and were able to get some work done. Might be a spring ritual, throwing it on a charger first. Is the starter hard to replace? Thanks Joey!
I had it running the week before, I am hoping that this was just a fluke. If it keeps happening I will change the starter. I dont know how hard it will be, I have never worked on one of these machines before, lol
hello you know where can fine the seal kits for 4 cylinder nternational crawler loader dresser e 100 cylinder seal kits
I am sorry, I sure don't. Luckily I have not had any major issues with mine.
Are you completely off grid there?
We just got electric two months ago, woot! We dont live on our property yet, But we will eventually. Work is just getting in the way right now.
I get tired of spending more time fixing things than using them.
Me too.
I have a list of things that need to be repaired, and if one of those items quits working that's my fault. But the most annoying things are the ones that pop up without warning lol Glad you got it going!
This was a pretty simple fix, glad it was not any worse.
