Abandoned Backhoe Hasn't Run for Years - Will it Start?
#captainkleeman

#willitrun
What a mess lol
I think your on the right track
New injectors
Clean up head and valves
Starter definitely needs to spin faster
Maybe touch up cylinders
I also think it would be a great idea to fill each cylinder with some hood penetrating oil while your waiting on the head
Might loosen any stuck rings if you have any
🤞🤞
Definitely appreciate all the help and answering all the texts! Keep those fingers crossed lol
Maybe a compression check before putting injectors back in. Engine or motor, Clint which is it, looks like the same as in the 4000/5000 Ford tractor. I had a 4000 that always turned over slow, in my opinion. I know we will hear it run soon. Have a good one brother.
Right track yes , I think I would have pulled a compression chk. b4 dis-assembling though.
That's exactly what I was gonna say. Lol. Actually, I don't have a clue as to what would help. But we already knew that:)
@@CaptainKleeman Clint can fix anything so between your skills and technical support from Clint you will get her all fixed up for sure.
When you were cranking it over there was no "smoke" visible where I sat.. This is a very good indication insufficient fuel was being injected into cylinders. Replacing the injectors is a smart move!
Lol I know a guy is the old school way to find it when you need specialized help. Word of mouth is more valuable than any purchased advertising.
Greatly appreciate your sense of humor😊!
Thanks John!
I appreciate your diligence on taking on a project like this, you don't give up.
Something to consider, have the machine shop do the valves while there. If a valve or seat needs ground they are all set up. Also, great to see your daughter helping, that's great (I miss those days).
Good luck getting the backhoe running Captain Kleeman
Thanks Kevin
Oh boy this is getting fun.
great choice, always go to people you know, whose knowledge you trust!
💪
Clinton is a great guy. God bless
Always helps to have a good helper Mike
With Clint and DP as your go to for input…you’ll have this running in no time Cap! Thanks for sharing!
I feel like I'm right there with you, buddy. Minus the busted knuckles, of course. Great content, great videos... Can't wait to see this old backhoe run again!
Great video Captain Kleeman
I'm gonna say listen to nobody but Clint. I hear he does this kind of work. I also hear he does okay! Lol. That would be a expert in my opinion.
Love your daughter helping. I used to help my dad and learned more than i thought at the time. Awesome video.
She seems to enjoy it
Yes! I was very impressed with the fact that she did not complain. I forgot how much my daughter helped me until lately. I am 87 and she is coming to live with me and is still a big help.
It’s amazing how we realize later in life how much we learned from our parents when we were younger.
Imagine how much we could have learned if we didn’t think any of it mattered at the time.
After seeing the oil / water / sludge draining, I would suggest dropping the pan to clean it out fully. Very cool project, sure you will get it going in much better shape, have a good one!!
Probably a good idea
@@CaptainKleeman No probably, a absolute MUST!
Have done loads of these over the years. Easy machine to work on and easy to get parts
This is looking better and better! I could use those rear tires too...
The more videos come out on this, the more expensive the parts become to the next buyer 😉
You have guidance from C&C Equipment, your all set. This dream of yours will be running shortly💪👍🇺🇸
Trust Clinton he will give you great advice. God bless
He has been a huge help
Captain, you are one smart dude my friend. Your daughter thinks she is just helping move stuff when in reality you are having some excellent father daughter bonding!!
💪
Captain Kleeman while you have the head off and having it checked out pour some sea foam in each cyclinder let it set so if the ring are stuck each day add little more and hand turn the engine over thanks for the video
It’s nice to have friends who are experts. And then there are the TH-cam “Experts” whom you can always count on too!
If it were me, I think I would have at least pulled the pistons out since those rings are probably gunked up and possibly broken too. You can’t go wrong with just taking the block to your machine shop and have them pull and replace liners and pistons. All the water in there tells me that the block needs to be checked for cracks anyway. No point in putting a rebuilt head on a cracked block. Looking forward to seeing more videos of this project. 👍
The only way to check for spark on a diesel engine is through the muffler bearing 🤣🤪 great video man
Well, and see, that was the problem, the dang bearing was missing!
@@CaptainKleeman along with the carrier. Gonna be expensive...
Double check all handles are in neutral might have something dragging. I'd drop oil pan and pull pistons and rods hone cylinders and install new piston rings and bearings keep videos coming.
I like watching your "debugging" process. Very systematic and deliberate. I learn so much from you. Thank you and be safe.
Thanks!
Great work on the backhoe. I like how you're tearing into, being methodical and trying to do it right, I have no doubt you'll have it running in no time. I'm sure having people you can rely on for advice helps with confidence to tackle a project like this. Looking forward to the next installment. And you did check for spark, right? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good job Mike. What you don't know now, you will know later, after you finish this project. You aren't going to hurt this in the process. So charge on. Thanks very much for sharing.
Hi Mike. Brought back some memories this project of yours. Seeing that the macine was standing for many years and the state of the ex manifold I feel that with luck the water got in through those valves and caused the nasty stuff you had to wire brush away, any water that passed the valves that were open would or could cause the rings to stick and when the engine is turned any water above those valves that are closed open and in goes the water, that seeps past the rings and into the sump and a good old 60/40 oil water mix. With luck on your side a little clean and plenty of lube in the cylinders and the bottom half could be ok. The head you are sorting and good call on the starter and injectors. Please make sure you tighten the head back in the correct stated way as well as look up the rocker valve clearenc sequance as they need to be TDC on each cylinder etc. But I totally agree with only asking those you personally know about this 555 and Clint is just a phone call away, and he is feeling guilty of dropping this on you. lol. Abetter valve compresser is needed to make it easyer for you and valve lapping that is one job I hated with passion, Day dream time on that task. Wish I lived closer as I would be there helping. Hats offf to you though as many would have given up by now, but you are like a sponge soaking up all that there is to learn. Stay safe regards to your family and never be afraid to ask.
As it can save you time and money as well as energy. Cool project.
What fine mess you got us into. :) Thank you and have great week.
I'd really love to see it run for you.
You always give 100%.
💪
Clint and Kevin from C&C Equipment were definitely not kidding on their live the other day when they were talking about the pictures you sent them. I know you will get it fixed up and running just needs some work.
Good call on the injectors but I’d get injector pump rebuilt as well. You got this!
Mike big challenge hope it works I like seeing old machines come to life ,Matt at Diesel creek is good at getting old gear going ,but I understand he is a Mechanic anyway looking forward to the assemble /startup video
Cheers Kym

Just subscribed. I follow C&C, dirt perfect and let’s dig and diesel creek. I’m retired after 40+ years on a field service truck or in the shop. Love how you guys allow me to hang out with you and relive some memories. Your learning things that will last forever. You seem to enjoy doing it. From what I’ve seen so far you are on the right track. You have access to some very good people. I learned from my dad and grandpa. When they would bring a “gift” into the shop I was given 2 instructions. It leaves under its own power and looks pretty. Take your time and have fun and hi from Texas
Hey welcome to the channel Keith!
Looking good there captain, from what I can see through the lens the engine is sound and will run in no time with the steps you’ve already taken.
Definitely check with Clint, and those you trust. It’s like eating a elephant, one bite at a time. Keep up the great job my friend.
I'm not a mechanic, but I can usually recognize a problem once it's pointed out to me (drawing red circles or arrows on the screen helps). I'm having a great time watching and I'd like to think that maybe I'm learning something too!
By the way, Diesel Spark sounds like a great name for a new channel.
Wow love your channel especially that you're working on it with your daughter 👍👌🙏
Portable intake heater use a hair dryer on high Thats why I asked you in the first episode if you checked the glowplugs intake heater is almost the same as a glowplug except it heats up the intake air to help your diesel crank on compression like a 2 cycle engine.
You got my Kudos's! You're brave enough to give it a try on the tear down. I'd never do it. Too chicken! Great video, Mike! Lee
Thanks lee!
I feel for you; as I bi=ought a Case 870 in 1989 and in 1991 I pulled the oil dipstick and found that I had a oil adding engine as it was like 3 plus over full and I had to rebuild. At that time I got a kit for $730 and crank turned for $100. I would say that it would cost way more today! As for the injectors I had them along with the fuel pump tested and only 2 injectors were weak and the guy sold me 2 rebuilts for $30 . Now I don't know where to get that done; but good luck to you!
Good to see you working on your back hole. Hope to see you get it running.
The nice thing about the Triple Nickel is it's pretty easy to work on.
Those cylinders don't look too bad (at least on camera), but the amount of debris in the exhaust chambers suggests quite a bit of blow-by, most likely due to the amount of hours on the machine.
Perhaps an in-frame freshen up with rings, rod and main bearings, and seal kit might be a practical way to go?
You definitely have the right support group for the project.
By the way, your daughter telling you, you have a new name on the radio, fantastic!😂🤣😂🤣👌
Great videos Mike, I think this one will be running in fairly short order.🤙
Looks like you are learning and having fun at the same time. The last Ford tractor that I bought had a locked-up engine. I found a guy that had an engine and he ended up buying the tractor. Keep plugging away and you will have something nice
👍 What I was thinking was
New injectors
Clean up head and valves
Starter definitely needs to spin faster
Maybe touch up cylinders
I also think it would be a great idea to fill each cylinder with some hood penetrating oil while your waiting on the head
Might loosen any stuck rings if you have any
That's what I was thinking.
I'm great at taking stuff apart😁. Been that way since I was a kid. Unfortuntely when it comes to putting the stuff back together, much less so that it works properly , not so much, 🤣🤔. I would be so totally lost doing a project like this. That is why I watch brave and knowledgeable people willing to risk it all like you.🙃😉
You talked about possibly re-sleeving Mike. What you might want to check is the sleeve positions (they are supposed to stand slightly proud for good compression & anti-freeze leaking in the cylinders). I speak from experience on this one having had to replace the sleeve O rings on my Renault engine because they did not stand proud. Love watching all your adventures Mike.
I don't have any mechanic advice for you but it seems like you're not lacking in that department. 😂 Just wanted to say that I'm enjoying watching you do this. You're far braver than I am. 👍💯🇺🇲
Thanks John!
One thing about this project and that is you are learning heaps although you do have a really good understanding of how things work. Fun project to watch and good idea to consult those you trust.
Definitely love learning!
Yea captain I think your right that backhoe is going to be a great addition to the homestead ✌️👌👍😎🇺🇲
I think you are on the right track, the starter is cranking way to slow and rebuilds usually are better quality than parts store ones. I would suggest having the machine shop check the valve seats and guides for you. Its already there and they do that stuff all the time and if it doesn't need it, you aren't spending money to do it yourself later. I couldn't see the cylinder walls good enough to give you any advice either way.
With the head off how easy is it to turn the crank? You can just use a socket and breaker bar on one of the harmonic balancer bolts in the front of the crank to turn it over. If it is stiff, something in the transmission might be hanging up, keeping it from turning over quicker so it will start. As that will be the next step in the process of getting it back up and running again.
Well on the brighter side at least it only has 3 cylinders!!
I can hardly wait until the next video I love watching you trying trying to complete a task in anything. You are asking the right people for advice don't get it from TH-cam. Your daughter was helping you and I thought that was amazing continue letting her help you it gives her purpose.
I would also check your timing chain. Glad you said that you forgot to disconnect the radiator. I
Well it didn't start but you have started to get it started good luck thanks for sharing I'm sure Clint and Kevin are having a chuckle
Seems like you have a good work ethic. Keep up the good work Captian.
You have the patience of Jobe.
As soon as you open a hood and see an engine, you can not trust any suggestions I give you. LOL. You are a brave man having your helper there. I wouldn't dare have a child near me learning to do mechanic work. :-). I do like your organization of bolts. I hope it works out for you.
Your on the right track keep it up those machines are are tough as nails
Thanks mark
I hope you get it running I know you will see what the machine shop say that will tell a lot weather if you need to keep going further a great watch looking forward to next one 👍👋🇨🇦
You are doing well sir, stay the course, use people you know who are in the know on the process you are in. Looking forward to seeing the backhoe running. Thanks for the ride along sir.
Thanks for watching terry
Love this project Mike .
Thanks Leo
You might want to put the engine #1 cylinder on top dead center before you put the head on. It's much easier. You are good working on things you don't know about. Keep up the good work.
Thanks
Never thought about a rooftop carryall for a outside parts storage when disassembling stuff outside, beats going back n forth to the shop with parts chancing losing half of them.
I have freed quite a few sets of rings by spraying “jack of all oils” down in the cylinders, seems to work better than Marvel and other commonly used fluids. Cant believe you didnt check for spark first😂😂, keep up the motivational videos man you got me out here taking my 3-53 Detroit apart to get it running again.
Mike, You remind me of Matt from Deisel Creek. He basically does the same thing with old equipment. Good videos keep up good work.
Matt does some awesome work!
Captain great video,no matter what you’ll make something out of this backhoe! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
Great Work Mike. Keep learning in everything you do.
Thanks Ben!
Hi Mike
I think you are doing the right things to get it started. The only thing extra I would do is, while it's sat there with the head off pour either ATF or 2 stroke oil a on the pistons . Bring the pistons all level. And then fill the bore with the oil. That will help to clean all the crud around the rings . Overtime it will seep down into your sump . It will cause no harm to your engine . And you will have to change your oil again anyway
Good luck I am sure you will get it going . Make sure you drain the water also . You don't want your block freezing up
Clint suggested the same thing! Thanks for the tip
Great video Capt!
Great work my friend. Keep up the gooe work.
Thanks barry
Great way to start a Sunday morning.
Koffee with Kleeman.
💪
💪
Nice job Mike. Great job,great videos
Thanks Larry
Best part about tearing it down and redoing it, You'll know how things work in the future
It's not fun working on something from a manual ! Thank goodness you have Mike to bounce things off. It's very satisfying but nerve wracking even when your finished
On an engine I’m not sure about I would put a skirt of oil in the piston cylinder when you had the injectors out, sometimes it is enough to up the compression for a few strokes. I think your engine needs to be turning quicker to. You’re doing a great job
I am sure Clint will steer you in the right direction
Did your book tell you about top dead center when adjusting valves ? You do intake or exhaust first then switch Depending on what the book says of course. Also I would poor Marvel mystery oil in the cylinder heads and let it sit. I’ve unfroze rings with that stuff. If not I’d drop the pan and pull the pistons. Then ball hone new cross hatch and get new rings . 🤷♂️
Hey Steve, I think he was doing the Vice Grip Garage method, or at least that’s where I’ve seen it, just cranking the motor and adjusting all valves that are fully closed, and continuing until all have been adjusted! But I’m used to the way you’re saying as well
@@wadeolin1295 yeah you can do it as long as there’s no pressure but I’m Paranoid so I do it the long way 😂
Don't know if anyone else has suggested it Mike. The water in the oil may be from a damaged water pump or cylinder head gasket. Enjoying the content Mike
Hopefully the bores are all good enough with a home might need a set of Rings, great to watch you learn and enjoy yourself ! Keep up the good work !
I’m ready to see that backhoe loader running
Hello from the Netherlands .
thanks for the video Mike .
Sincerely, Hollandduck
That's crazy to suggest checking for spark when it's obviously a carburetor problem.🤣🤣😉😁
Lol
Float settings might be off.
Good video tearing down, the machine shop will be a great help. I know you can get this going, I wonder how many hydraulic issues it will have with the amount of water in the crank case, I will stay tuned for the updates!!
Very nice job your doing there Cpt. Love watching you do your thing. Keep C and C on speed dial. But I think you got this. 👍👍👍👍🍺🍺🍺🍺
Thanks mark!
Loving your content of figuring the mechanical stuff out. Would put in my 2$ but your doing great bub. Don't wanna sound like guy around 35min LOL. Appreciate alot of your home building content as I always wanna learn more but mechanical it's nice for a change of pace and you have enough good guys to call "dp c&c" I can laugh as you learn. Keep it up cap!
You didn't check for spark on a diesel engine. Lol God bless
I kept in Cleveland you're right you go to people that are in your area that you trust then you know and send pictures To CNC equipment
Exactly
Mike I hope that this is not one of those problems that can’t be fixed without a larger budget. Fingers crossed 🤞 I hope this is a good addition to your fleet when done.🤞🤞🤞🤞👍
Fingers crossed!
Good stuff, i like that you're doing it right, hope it works out for you, will be a handy piece of equipment for you, don't have to know everything just have to know who to call, good luck
The are 3 or else 4 little core plugs along the top middle off the head make sure the machine shop replaces them as the rust from the inside out and allow water/antifreeze into your engine. Also on the back of the injector pump the is a 15/16 or 24mm nut with a fuel supply pipe into the middle of it. There is alittle filter/gauze in there that will DIFFENTLY need cleaned aswell. Just trying to help you out the best I can.
Went ahead and ordered some rings
Just a little water. It's fine! Love watching your channel. Keep up the good work. Really interested in seeing how this turns out.
Thanks for watching
Hey captain why not relocate the shut off put in a threaded adapter and use a ball valve and located to easy shut off
Great video Mike, looking forward to seeing this jewel run.
Me too!
Nice work.
Enjoyed the video Captain
You can never tell who's hiding out in the trees and doing stuff when you're not lookin'!
I am very interested in the video where you check for spark on this! I could learn a lot from that one! 🤣 😂
