@@HamiltonvilleFarm heck yea I had a good feeling... I'm up here in north east Georgia at the SC line
@@HamiltonvilleFarm try tapping the solenoid instead of the starter motor
@@HamiltonvilleFarm Hey i live in LA too, aka Panama City.
I was born/raised in Galion, OH and my dad worked at Galion Iron Works, where these graders were made. I still have memories of going to his office on the weekends, taking home some treasured GALION stickers (the ones applied to these once-mighty machines). I also remember the saying "all roads lead to Galion" because you would see these graders and rollers building roads across America and even in foreign countries (like Saudi Arabia). I'd call/write to my dad whenever I saw one while I was in the Army. They were also used to plow snow. Imagine hearing these iron beasts rolling down your street at o-dark-thirty after a snow storm! I'm not sure if my dad (who's 80 now) has seen this and other videos like it, but I'd like to thank those of you who painstakingly restore these wonderful machines, which are part of our American history.
That's a cool story 👍 thanks for sharing.
Nice memories, the first grader I ever ran was a Galion. I've also run Galion rollers. I worked for the Virginia DOT and pushed snow with a grade too. With a V- plow on the front I could move a lot of snow.i never thought about where they were built or the people who built them.
that’s awesome!!! i love hearing peoples stories like that
@@HamiltonvilleFarm where u guys at. I'm in Marietta ohio
One thing to point out with the starter. That solenoid has a magnetic coil in it that engages the gear to the flywheel. If you just jump the high current relay, without giving the coil power, it won't engage. You need to short out the small lead, not the two large ones.
It was so frustrating to watch them beat on the starter. I found myself yelling at the screen!
My hometown had a fleet of graders that they used for snow removal. As a kid I loved to watch them do their stuff. I hope you get it back to work. Good luck!
Yeah, some hoses and belts I think we can! I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment 👍
I love these videos, you always here about people finding these old machines in the woods, good to see you got this one started.
Right on. Thanks Joey. I appreciate you
@@HamiltonvilleFarm do you get this machines for free or you buy them?
Sam, we traded another piece of equipment for this one 👍
@@HamiltonvilleFarm I wish to visit your garage, am so much impressed bro.

Love to see this old equipment come back to life
Yeah for sure. It was a cool feeling to hear it fire up. Preciate ya bud. 👍
Same
Me too
I know that was a great feeling to get it running. Awesome job. Can’t beat a old international engine.
Yeah it was a pretty cool feeling. Very rewarding. Thanks for the comment 👍
Cool
I love seeing old equipment like this coming back to life!! 👍👍
Thanks CJ👍
I salvaged one exactly like this in Cap Haitien Haiti for a customer a few years ago. The one I worked on was about 15 years older and had a Detroit 471 engine. It had sat so long I had to replace every inch of electrical wiring and most of the rubber hydraulic hoses. Took about 3 days total to do that job.
Wow that's cool👍
Man, exciting to see it actually start! I have two dead tractors with major issues and you get a machine running right there in the field!
It was really good to hear it fire up. Thanks for the comment 👍
Has always had a good to have something to cover up the Breather when you can't get them to stop running or just case they run away
Yeah we actually took a 2x6 to cover it and in our excitement we forgot to get it out of the bed of the truck😁👍
❤❤
That's right, with a diesel always make sure you can stop it before you start it.
Since I was small, road graders have been my favorite piece of heavy equipment. They are just super cool to me!
👍
I'm So glad you guys are trying to save machinery. It really makes sense to save something if you can. Instead of just taking it to the scrapyard!😃
Yeah CJ for sure. Stay tuned to Sunday night for an update.
Way to go Hank!! I was cheering for you! I’m amazed y’all started that and I have to pull my chainsaw 45 times and I used it yesterday!
Whoo hoo👍👍
Love the vids there always so peaceful and kind and an inspiration u made me want to be a macanhic
Right on👍 thanks for watching!
Looking good glad that yall got it running and maybe it can be used once again. God bless stay safe and have a wonderful day
Thank you. God bless. 🙏
@@HamiltonvilleFarm you are welcome and thank you.💙😎🎉👍😁💖
Man I loved hearing that thing crank up it’s music to my ears
You and me both. I was really happy👍
If I had a nickle for every time I heard somebody say "It ran when it was parked". lol
Lol. I hear ya brother 😁
@@HamiltonvilleFarm ما
👍
always a lie hahha ... aka needs overhaul.
Brought the whole tool trailer out just to use the crescent wrench 😂
But if we didnt we would have need the whole shebang 😂 have a good one brother 👍
And a 2lb persuader don for get
Yep 👍
/
@@HamiltonvilleFarm truest truth.
Thx for the video 😎
Fuel pump died in my dad's Scag and that was the tried and true method right there... Beat it in the right spots a few times and boom it has been more than a year working fine xD
Right on👍 thanks for the comment!
Been along time since I operated a motorgrader. That was one of the ones i learned on. Smallest komatsu dozer I operated in the mines was a D375A
That's cool Ed. Enjoyed the live stream the other night when y'all were guests. Take care brother
So had the dozer clearing an area for the tools just to use a crescent wrench, screwdriver and hammer! 😳😂
lol. That is funny now that I think about it.
Don’t forget the batteries lol
Lol
On a diesel, especially, don't try to start the engine, before you know, for sure, the best way to kill it, and and are prepared to use it. Coolant is a good idea, also, even if you have to drain it, before you leave the sight. I grinned, big time, when it started right up, and purred like a kitten. Great video.
Yeah, we actually had a wood block to cover the air intake and in all our excitement forgot about it. 😳 Thanks for watching 👍 have a good day!
Hello angel brother God is helping you to find equipment that you can use for your farm God is so good all the time
Hello Hank this is from David Hodges this is my only believe I believe when you find old equipment that said blessing from heaven to bless your farm God bless you the wonderful family in Jesus name
"we are not mechanics, we just understand principles",, so you beat the hell out if it with a hammer! LOL that was great! :)
Dang it started like u ran it yesterday I'm surprised I'm glad it hit
Yeah it really surprised me too. It ran smooth as it could be. 👍
@@HamiltonvilleFarm yep this with a little TLC will make a great machine
Equipment like that and to have it rust away, is a shame you can use the motor for a generator
I'm a 22 year old girl and I accidentally stumbled upon this video but I was so happy that it started 😂
Welcome 😊 we're glad you liked it. Have a great day and be safe👍
My Grandad took the solenoid off a starter once cause it was sticking, fixed it with a bit of lube, He just put a bit of oil in there and worked good as new.
That's a good idea 👍
Hey Hank. I decided to watch another for you. I love these kind of videos. I did some some issues there too. I would be happy too that it started. Those diesel engines are so trustworthy.
Thanks Alan👍
Hammering on a starter that spins is a good way to break it. Never hit the center of the end plate, it covers the bearing.
Oh well, some people are just lucky. Hope it holds out and you can get it to do some work for you.
Yeah we got lucky it didn't break. We learned some lessons on this one.
it was so painful to watch them hammer on the starter when there not jumping the starter solenoid but the starter motor. you MUST jump the small wire over to the power not the large post. I'm hopping it gets sorted in the end.
Thanks for watching
I love this stuff. Me and my dad won an old Austin western at an auction for 25 Bucks and just got it running this week and as soon as we can get some usable tires on it we are driving it home
That's cool👍👍
The lady said it has been there for 20 years
Great video... On my old Galion 104B in the cab, the throttle lever also works as the fuel shutoff if you push it all the way forward to shut down the machine.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and make the comment. I truly appreciate it! Have a good day.
“We are not mechanics here”- Nooo say it ain’t so Vern!
Tried to warn you😁 thanks for watching
KNOW WHAT I MEEN, VERN?
That starter is a pre-engaged type, crossing the solenoid will only ever spin the motor, you need to find the third (small) terminal and cross the power to that and it'll engage properly then... Edit- haha you got her in the end then.
Right on. Preciate the tip 👍 have a good one!
Hank, the best way to gain experience is by hands on. You guys will get one heck of an education working on these old girls. Western Truck and Tractor Repair has some great videos on equipment repair and I have watched a few to get my memory back.
I've learned so much already it's crazy. I appreciate you bud👍
The last T-400 I operated had a 250hp Cummins, the one before had a 4-71 Detroit. The Cummins had so much power for the size the company put a scraper push block on the front, it worked too. If the starter Spins why beat on it? The solenoids stuck (tap) on it while turning the starter. The two end controls are the left/right blade lift. Second from the right is wheel lean to load the machine wheels need to be verticals. DO NOT run with no water & water pump that head Gasket WILL blow IH was famous for it. ChiefD
Thanks for the comment brother! I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment 👍
Love this vid Hank! And so hilarious reading all the couch potatoe armchair mechanics crying about whether or not to beat on the starter or not AFTER you said y'all weren't mechanics...LOL.. SMH.... I'd done the same thing...and then directly sent voltage like you did. I just can't get enough of these resurrections!! I absolutely will be doing a restoration like this! Matter of fact I have footage of an old guy that restores old dozers on his place in Oregon... I need to put that vid out!
Yes you do👍 thanks man and yeah you get all kinds, but they all mean well. 😊
Wow I can't believe that thing started like that. Awesome
It was really cool to hear it crank up. For sure. 👍
My dad had a similar Galion with a 4 cyl Detroit. That thing was LOUD!
IH engine in that so your in my wheelhouse there lol I have tons of info and books on those and just guessing its a DT360 or a 407 engine so if you have any questions I might be able to help otherwise I suggest you jump on to the Red Power Magazine forum and and ask those guys will know plenty too
Cool thanks AJ. I appreciate that👍
The parts in that engine are screaming "OIL! We finally have some oil!"
Yeah I hear ya 👍
Awesome! I had a IH backhoe with a 239 diesel. It always started!
Thanks! It sure was good to hear it crank!
That started better than one on a job site over the weekend... the magic of TV
Lol
I need a motor like that to make a whole house generator.
Yeah man that would be awesome 👍
One of those guys laugh and voice sounds just like Popcorn Sutton...
I'll Google him. 😊👍
I've hung out with some of Popcorn's old friends. Guys a true southern legend.
Awesome hearing it fire up for the first time in years. Cool video bud
Thanks Brian. It was pretty cool. I think they said it had been like 4-5 years depending on who you believed. But indeed was fun to hear it👍
Hey Hank! Shes a beauty! You cant replicate that patina! She looks good and sounds great!
It's very aero dynamic 😂😂
@@HamiltonvilleFarm lol
I really thought I heard you say you were going to pull the, "Tool Truck" up to the grader. Where are the tools?
It was the little white trailer behind the red Dodge. Nothing fancy. Lol. But it works.
Tool truck equal tacklin fuel aka beer wagon
@@andrewmeppen8068 😂👍
Hamiltonville Farm Adjustable wrench and a hammer
Carl Kipke I seen two black kids rebuild an entire Chevy engine with a crescent wrench, a hammer and a pair of pliers. It would have run too except the wooden pistons kept burning up!
Will never understand why people beat on the starter motor, when the solenoids usually the problem lol
Mechanics around the world have been doing it for years havent they. Lol😁👍
Because on that starter the solenoid was in the case not external
The solenoid was working, the bendix was stuck.
The solenoid pushes the bendix out to engage against the fly wheel. Most starters work that way. Unless it has no solenoid. They can be beat on to work.
Robin Babington no Sir the starter solinoid is clearly external of the starter motor. ChiefD
Impressive!! We always bang on things when we can’t get them to work!
Lol. Standard operating procedure 😂
Nice. You guys got it started and that engine sounds solid. No knocks, pings, or smoke. Enjoyed the full video, guys. 👍
Thanks Don. It did sound good. That's the first time in years that thing turned over. Pretty impressive
@@HamiltonvilleFarm It sure was impressive, Hank. It's even better when it started after you guys gave it a few love taps. I've had to do that with starters. The brushes seize. Gives you a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. Have a fine week.
Typical IH engine, they always start up 💪
It was pretty cool to hear it run for the first time in years. Sounded great 👍 thanks for the comment Shane!
Yep, German motor IH used I suspect.
Water in the hydraulic fluid when its white in color
Yeah..Def not good.
Great videos you guys are good fun to watch with your have a go attitude I have watched most or all your video's ,I wish I could drive down the road and find a old machine abandoned to have a go at repairing , keep up the good work , Cheers from UK.
Cheers. Thanks for watching 👍
Yáll got your work cut out on this one for sure. I would love to use that grader here in Chile South America. Good thing it is not summer or you would have wasps eating you up. I think I would have tried to tow start it. Thanks for sharing. Jim in Chile
Thanks for the comment Jim. Have a good one 👍
“We ain’t mechanics.” Now how did we know that?
Sometimes we have to state the obvious. 😀
Hamiltonville Farm me neither too
“Has a little bit of rust”
Literally missing 40% of body panels
That's for better aerodynamics 😂😂👍 thanks for watching 👍
Glad to see yall got the ole gal runnin Hank !
Thanks David. It was cool to hear it run
Awesome job. It's always very satisfying to hear these beasts fire up ! 👍🏻
Thanks for watching 👍 part two is out Sunday!
@@HamiltonvilleFarm Cool :)
Some of your camera work gets me dizzy. Hold it steady or have someone else video taping.
Thanks 👍
Yall come up with the neatest stuff. IH made Galion for YEARS! The outside levers are for the blade sides, right outside lever to work the right side and the outside left for the left. I ran one like that YEARS ago but it had a Cummins in it but the automatic was different. Seems like it had a manual hi/lo and an automatic hi/lo and fwd and rev. 3 levers instead of 2. It'll do you proud when the rust gets fixed and'll make a smooth road! I had to subscribe to see how all this is going. THANKS from an old worn out driver and operator!
That's cool. Thanks for the info. I appreciate that👍
@@HamiltonvilleFarm About all your graders are set up the same way with the blade controls but A/C had both the blade lift levers right together on the right hand. Maybe the old Deers too. It's been a long time.
@@HamiltonvilleFarm I ran an OLD Gallion that had an IH- UD engine (started on gas and the switched to diesel) that was swapped out for a 4-71 Detroit/GM. It had 6 forward gears and 2 reverses on one stick. You had to go all the way out of high range and up into lo and then back across BUT the stick would fall out of the socket and lock the brake pedal so you couldn't get the brakes on. It was blamed sure interesting! And many gray hairs later..............
Galion Iron Works made Galion graders. Probably used a lot of IH engines.
@@ohgary All the old diesels were UD power plants but the later ones could be Cummins or Detroit/GM's. Probably some gas jobs but I never saw one.
Thank you... You use metric!
Awesome!!
👍
This is art in its own way, keep it up!-
Thanks! I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment 👍
Happy I just found your channel, greetings from Pensacola!
Welcome. We are near Panama City Beach 👍
“New life NOW” !!! Love it !!
Nice work Guys!! Sure enjoy these videos, best of luck with all the repairs. Take care!
Thanks Dave
I’m so happy this video has done so well for you. I know your channel is really going to take off! ~Heather
Thanks Heather. Been praying for you👍
Thanks for filming
Thank you.
14:14 best part. "We got it runnin', now we don't know how to cut it off". Haha
Lol. In all our excitement we forgot we had a board to put over the breather😳🤦🏻♂️😂
Hank I'm glad to help you out any time
Thank you Mark. Have a good one 👍
your welcome
My mouth drop at the end!! I don’t know anything how to start old stuff but I wish
It was pretty cool👍
Good to see an old motor grader be brought back to life 👍
Yes sir. Thank you for the comment 👍
We have an old grader that judging bu the technology is older than that thing. It has even taken care of and looks nicer though. There is a leak in the brake line so we have no brakes and you can’t kill the engine from thei cab throttle like your supposed to but it still runs and we use it a lot. When we first got it, we couldn’t find the switch for the throttle on the engine so to shut it off you dug the blade down, throttled down, put it in 4h, and popped the clutch. It has a Detroit engine in it and I believe it is from some sort of Adams company or something like that. It is all PTO’s running from the lever to the thing it runs. Fun machine that we love.
Cool story. Thanks for sharing 👍
Since all your followers like this old equipment maybe somebody can help me locate a pair of bolt-on extensions for an old ARPS blade. Really enjoy watching you guys give these old machines new life
Hope you can find one👍
Hey, great video! Looks you got a good amount of views on this one! Not only that, you reached 10k subs! Congratulations Hank!
Thanks Joe. I appreciate your support friend. Cheers
Well the good thing is you got it running, sounds good, now for the rest of it well!!🍒👍
Lol. I hear ya...good thing my part in this project is over with.
Good job
Good evening Sir, great video !!! Cheers !!!
Cheers👍
Ran one in the 90s on a ranch near masterson,Tx. Not a bad machine. Better than a dresser
Thanks Jimmy. I appreciate the comment 👍
T400 equipment sitting there long time new battery hope you guys get monster running new tires awesome video friend bless you stay warm
Thank you. I appreciate the comment 👍
My dad has one I drove it once in 2016 I was 14 years old when I drove it
That's cool I be that was fun👍
Ничего себе, еще и движок живой! Поздравляю! Молодцы! 👍😷
Thanks for watching 👍
I'm always amazed that these machines start on really old fuel
I wish I could come down and hang out with you guys we would have a wonderful time tinkering with that old iron
Yes sir😊👍
Nice. Very similar to the T500 I found. It was abandoned. Mine has a 4 cylinder Detroit though.
Cool😁
I celebrate with you that they start!! I want to see the progress in this grader! I subscribe to your channel too!
thank you. that is very kind of you. Welcome!
Nice job Hank glad you got it going!
Teamwork👍 it was cool to hear it turn over
เพงลาว
i enjoyed this video gl from iceland il be following this project
Thank you. Have a good day 👍
Great engine in that either a d407 or d361 some of IHS best most reliable engines made and the turbo versions were amazing
And more than likely I will guarantee you'll will have fuel pump issues with the engine dying and either you'll have to send the rosa master pump out to be rebuilt or get the updated part yourself it's a one piece and make your own timing mark and put all new seals in
👍
I. Live. In. Washington. State. I. Really. Enjoy. Your. Videos. !!!
Thanks Dave. Washington state is a beautiful place 👍
Stopped in from Watching Wes Work...looks like a great project!
Thanks. Welcome 👍 hope you enjoy the channel
There is no bendix on that starter motor, the solenoid engages the starter sprocket as well as supplying the power to the motor so needs to be energised. “We are not mechanics.” You’re right there.
Thanks for watching
I’m late to the party here...gotta watch the follow up video. There’s a Galion grader sitting on an abandoned industrial lot off of Route 46 in Pequest, NJ. I found it last Fall (2020) riding rail trails up there. It’s in a bit better condition than this one...I’d love to see it running. I love these machines...great work, guys! Love your videos!
Thanks for watching!
now that is totally awesome video about your galion t400 road grader .. can't wait to see more about your galion t400 road grader with new update on it just asking
Thanks a lot. We appreciate you watching 👍
THE SOLENOID MAN THE SOLENOID!!
Thanks for watching 👍
Unbelievable it started that easy!!! I would never get that lucky..
We were stoked👍 thanks y'all!
It sounds really good to...she's a darn good runner...
Right on. Thanks for watching 👍
Good stuff. !!! Type of people I would love to work with. Would learn alot of tricks of the trade
Thank you. We try to learn as much as we can too. I appreciate the comment 👍
Runs incredible good!
👍👍
Great video I rode in one of these when i was a kid with the county grader.
Thanks for watching 👍
