So I watch this guy make his own power and I think.. he must have a background in electrical engineering. Then I see him solve complex mechanical problem and I think… he must be a mechanical engineer. Now I’ve just decided that he’s just a soft spoken genius with a beautiful life and family and my spirit animal! Im 53 years old and when I grow up I want to be like Marty T. I literately can’t wait until the next video. I may have to force myself to not watch for a while just so I can binge watch later. I might need to talk to someone about this. 😳😂greetings from Alabama, USA!
Jaysus, I can't believe how many people come here just to tell him what he's done wrong, forgot to do, or could have done better. It's his dozer, his channel, his life. Watch, learn, enjoy.
I'm pretty impressed. Good work he does. My only question is why isn't he painting clean and pretty? Especially while he has bits all apart. Fan & water pump etc..... I guess he's just going for that look
I was a mechanic for twenty years in the service and I watch just to relive old memories of working on equipment that in some cases was older than I was. Thanks Marty T.
Loving your videos. Have zero knowledge of mechanics. My old man does. He was in the REME back in the 60’s. Used to watch him on the spanner’s back in the day. He’s in his late seventies now. Keep the videos coming, I find them relaxing and interesting. 👍🍷
This gents is how a real mechanic fixes vehicles, something that lost on today's modern cars and machinery. Thanks Marty for showing a few 'tricks of the trade' a lot of young mechanics can certainly learn a thing or two from you. Been a mechanic myself for about 27 years, nice to see the old school repairs with the lathe work as well, brings back some fond memories.
now that you mention that I can hear it as well. its much like an older mustie1 video before he switched shops, his old shop was full of wonderful bird notes, much like a Marty video
Maybe it's easier than I imagine, but I'm always impressed with how you find parts for all the old machines that you work on. Love the channel, keep up the good work.
Great job. Good thing about old technology was that everything was serviceable. Now a days waterpumps are not and they are expensive for equipment equipment like this. You are a lucky guy.
I love this type of restorative work. It’s not a complete disassembly of each and every part and restored to brand new quality, it’s a clean everything good, complete a full service and repair anything that would hinder its ability to be worked, then actually be used for what it’s intended purpose was created for! Absolutely love this stuff! Can’t freakin’ wait for the next part Marty!
When you started making the gaskets it really brought back to me my dear old dad doing the same for the197 cc Villiers motor on our go-kart in the mid 70s. Nice on Marty from a fellow Kiwi
Where you find so many classics. All computer free self maintainable machines as hiw they intended to be when they got designed. Great you keep them alive
Oh my God!, you do have a power washer! GREAT! I've been watching many of your video's and all of the gear you work on, is stink-en dirty! LOL! Job # 1. Clean the project, before getting one's hands covered in dirt! LOL@! ALL GOOD!! Cheers from Canada. You sure do get great deals on stuff out there, would not happen out here. People are bloody greedy Junk sells for outrageous prices.!
I do believe sir that you are what the brits would call a Bodger. Someone who can fix just about anything, with whatever they've got on hand. AS the full saying goes, Jack of all trades, master of none, but still better than a master of one.
a constructive tip from a mechanic Marty. when using wad punches go in to END GRAIN. it will cut much cleaner. enjoy watching you work on this old stuff.
This brings back so many memories of when I was a kid with my dad my grandpa and my uncles in the winter time we would pull them equipment in and rebuild anything that needed to be rebuilt for next year's login season and watching you build that shaft up and milling it down is just exactly what my dad and my grandpa would have done thank you You're bringing back a lot of memories to an old man Good memories
You do fantastic work on these old machines. I have watched about 4 of your videos and think they are really good and you know how to bring these machines to life and put them to good use. I admire your skills and love what you do.
That's what I like about you Marty, you don't let nothing stop you, if they don't make the part anymore you have what you need to fabricate one. LOVE IT brother!!! Can't wait for part 2!!! 👍👍☆Jay.
Thanks again Marty for bringing back memories from back in the day. As a kiwi living through ‘50’s & ‘60’s the only way to buy a new car back then was to have overseas funds. So we had to learn the skills you show in your videos to keep our old cars running. Glad to see some kiwis are still maintaining those skills. 👍
Your camera work is very intuitive and shows just enough to understand the fix! The editing is spot on! Your dialog has got to be total fabrication, or you have zen master patience! Thanks for making the videos; they are addictive!
Always nice to watch a repair done by someone with good mechanical abilities and also a great in depth repair on that thermostat housing to make it functional again! 👍
You are really taking me down memory lane. First I saw the DB 990 video, the first new tractor we had on a hill farm I worked on as a kid. When I left school I went to work for Bristol Tractors at Sough Mill, Earby, UK, as a trainee cost accountant (1969, £5 per week £4-8-4d) take home). They had just completed development of a tractor, with cab, that could load at the front and tip behind ( The Bristol Taurus?). They were then taken over by Marshall-Fowler, a company which started out building steam traction engines. Bristol were connected to Jowett Cars, made in Bradford.
I've changed a water pump before, but building up that shaft and lathing it down at 9:30 and making the washer and sleeves for the thermostat at 18.00, wow, that's next level there. And the seamless editing, tips, and description, nice job!
@@johndowe7003 Yes but only when the engine is cold. When the engine is hot the smaller hole he now has will slow the flow of coolant from what was originally designed. Merry Christmas.
Very resourceful rebuild. The thermostat housing is very much like that found on Triumph TR-3 cars. The bellows thermostat was designed to block the bypass port when it opened. You may not get full flow through the radiator without that bellows thermostat blocking the bypass. On our cars, using a modern thermostat as you did, we block the bypass port with a plug. Just a thought if you have cooling issues. Great work.
Love these old pieces of equipment which you find and resurrect. Would love to live on a piece of property like yours. Nice job of adapting the thermostat!
Love the idea of not buying a new machine but getting an old one back to life and working again. Doesn’t have to look beautiful, just has to do the job it was designed to do.
How I wish that I had your gift of giving a old machine a new life. It would be so cool if you could restore and repaint it. Make it look like new. Good job!!!😄😃😎
I guess my favorite part of this video is the cordless drill that has a cord powering it. 21:07 It is great to see that intelligent resourceful people still exist.
Very mesmerising and intellectually stimulating to watch these old machines been brought back to good nick by skillful mechanical hands, of an expert who has a passionate know how, mechanical diagnostic to keep the mind attentive. Its a well spent time just watching your show even for anyone, with no care about machines. Fascinating. Great work.
This poor old girl needed this TLC. Dam there's more rust in the rad and coolant system than there is on the tractor, That barring is FUCKED! Didn't see you pre-pack or grease the new barring via that fitting, would suck to see that burn out after all your work. Great video, its so much better watching someone fix an old machine!
Fantastic really enjoyed this one was beginning to worry the dozer was a lost cause and had been sold looking forward too the continuation Best wishes to you Marty Mark
Necessity is the mother of invention! You have such a great attitude when working on these old relics! ...and after watching this part, I need to get a lathe for sure! It has to come in SO very handy for all kinds of things!
Hello. A Bristol Torrus with a Perkins P3 what a little Beauty. They were built in Lancashire England. At a place called Barnoldswick it about 12 miles from where I live in the Ribble valley.
I really enjoy watching your videos. I love working with mechanical things and I learn things every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you! I do have to tease you about one scene, the bulldozer parked next to the swimming pool is just hilarious! 😅🙂
Excellent channel, every video is 100% no skip throughs. Great content, admirable skills, brilliant editing. Nice work fella, industrial resurrection par excellence! ... look forward to the next one!

Thanks man.. I do appreciate constructive criticism, I am learning from some comments
I'm pretty impressed. Good work he does. My only question is why isn't he painting clean and pretty? Especially while he has bits all apart. Fan & water pump etc..... I guess he's just going for that look
Yeah, these people need to shut the fuck up.
@@steveaguinaga3821 he did say in another video that he prefers the old look
I was a mechanic for twenty years in the service and I watch just to relive old memories of working on equipment that in some cases was older than I was. Thanks Marty T.
Genius. Methodical. Not just repairing but also making later services easier. Genius.
Marty your perfect. Your intelligent those other dudes givin advice need to be asking of you. Your a genius.

Marty,as a Kiwi living in Aus,I love hearing the rich bird life noises as the soundtracks to your videos.Makes me somewhat homesick !!
It beats fill-in music any day ;)
With you Paul. The tui has a wonderful song.
yep,the cawing of crows with the squawking of parrots gets old .
now that you mention that I can hear it as well. its much like an older mustie1 video before he switched shops, his old shop was full of wonderful bird notes, much like a Marty video
@@warwickhowland5816 yep, I sure notice the kiwi calls.
Maybe it's easier than I imagine, but I'm always impressed with how you find parts for all the old machines that you work on. Love the channel, keep up the good work.
I watched how you make it run after being junked for couple of years and now these i love you vlogs keep it man

Looks like you got a willing tool....GOOD SAVE..! Perfect for carving some more trails , driveway planing and firebreaks...!!
I love the birds in the background!
Man, you are acquiring quite the stable of working, vintage equipment. Very cool.
When you started making the gaskets it really brought back to me my dear old dad doing the same for the197 cc Villiers motor on our go-kart in the mid 70s. Nice on Marty from a fellow Kiwi
happy yellow machine. Incredible work!
Where you find so many classics.
All computer free self maintainable machines as hiw they intended to be when they got designed.
Great you keep them alive
Good fix on this. You are a very talented man.
Nice fix on the water pump shaft, and the retro fit of a newer style thermostat.
You have a real gift Marty. Even when I lay all my parts out in a row, I have trouble reassembling them in the right order. Really enjoy your videos.
Haha Thats one good thing about videoing the fix, I can always go back and look at the footage if I forget how it goes together
Not sure what took me so long to find your channel but love your videos.
All the kudoos and a couple of bravos Few more barrels of oil saved

a constructive tip from a mechanic Marty. when using wad punches go in to END GRAIN. it will cut much cleaner. enjoy watching you work on this old stuff.
Useful tip cheers
Your skills are amazing Marty - thanks for bringing us along with you..
Very interesting as always a blow by blow account of what you are doing
I like how you time lapse some of your videos so we can see it all and it’s not boring! Thanks friend
Excellent job Marty.👍👍

Marty, I love the way you tackle each of these mechanical nightmares, and never give up on an engine!
It's awesome to see a mechanic at work.......now days you mostly see parts re-placers...........Fantastic job Marty
Very cool to see you sort your way thru each bit of work using common sense, skill and the right tools.
and most of the work done on the good honest dirt outside lol. No fancy stainless steel workbenches here.
Marty definitely has a knack when it comes to repairing thing's . Wish I had his abilities ! He probably makes Jay Leno green with envy !
You are a true master craftsman and so humble. It’s a pleasure watching you do the amazing things you do.
When that Dozer was built it was built to last! It’s awesome seeing someone take the time to maintain it!
That's what I like about you Marty, you don't let nothing stop you, if they don't make the part anymore you have what you need to fabricate one. LOVE IT brother!!! Can't wait for part 2!!! 👍👍☆Jay.
Very nice piece of work on the thermostat
Best bird sounds channel on yt
Great Video Marty! It never ceases to amaze me the hours you put into this old gear! well done and thanks
Great stuff Marty T! Watching this in the middle of a snow storm in New England, what a joy to hear the birds in the background.

That’s a beautiful old machine, there’s a deep part of me that wants to just clean, sandblast and paint stuff… it would look it would look amazing!
A no-nonsense guy who knows what he is doing with the tools he has.
Always nice to watch a repair done by someone with good mechanical abilities and also a great in depth repair on that thermostat housing to make it functional again! 👍

As usual Marty great work repairing old machinery - you're thorough, methodical and have so many skills. Thanks a lot for sharing, I learn a lot.
You live in paradise mate😊👍 God bless you and family during Easter ✝✝✝.
The thermostat was some pretty impressive engineering, gotta say. I wouldn't have thought to do that.
Yes very good work ,but isn't it restricting the flow of coolant ?
@@doncodman913 thats the idea behind a thermostat
@@johndowe7003 Yes but only when the engine is cold. When the engine is hot the smaller hole he now has will slow the flow of coolant from what was originally designed. Merry Christmas.
You don't want the coolant too fast, it won't spend enough time in the radiator cooling off.
@@karaayers2867 Or enough time in engine to exchange the heat ^^
There's no end to the diamonds in the rough you come up with. Brilliant idea with the thermostat. Nice work!
Stay tuned mate, we have some beauties coming up soon
Quite a handy bloke. I've always wanted to visit NZ. If I ever get there I'd love to check out Marty's operations...🌴😎🤙

I guess my favorite part of this video is the cordless drill that has a cord powering it. 21:07
It is great to see that intelligent resourceful people still exist.
With a motorcycle battery attached via the cord, the 12 volt battery lasts all day.....
Thank you Marty for all your things you do on all the Old Machinery it’s really entertaining thank you brother from Cliff from Australia

Its old and worn out but gets the job done
Sure did, very talented mechanic skills Marty.
Thanks mate
You are welcome, looking forward to the next video with quality repairs.
@@MartyT So, I'm new and glad to see you do have a lathe. How about a mill? They come in handy when bringing relics back to useful life! Good job.
Your work ethic is way up there. Love your videos and subjects..
if he can't get a part he just simply makes it..amazing
Yea, That is the biggest thing I took away. He is pretty amazing.
In Production from 1955-1959 nothing available!
Some real nice fabricobbling right there.
Great episode and well done finding parts and fabricating the rest, thanks for sharing.
Great job as usual, loved the renovation of the thermostat housing and the repair of the shaft to fit the seal. Thanks for sharing.
Great work Marty
Wow fixing that shaft in the water pump was Ingenious
Summer time Marty, the native birds are making a racket! Nice.
Gotta love the tuis and bellbirds
