Part of the charm of your channel Matt is the sheer joy that you express when a repair works, and most often they do. Great video and result 👍🏻🏴
How is no one asking about that teaser??? Those tracks must be from a replacement excavator?
@@Dirt_mountain-earthworks Ok I’ll ask. 🙄
Is that a teaser? Are those tracks from a replacement excavator?
Done. (🏴 x2)
Totally Ewen, uplifting for our Spirits, inspiration for keeping going and to usher in goodness, hope and belief in our own strength and abilities, Thank You Matt.

Looking forward to seeing Allis getting a bit of love, she deserves it. She found the right home. Another great video Matt, keep'em coming 👍
I am by no means any type of equipment operator. But I really enjoy your videos. Always something different. From the church building, to your property. Looking forward to more!
Glad to see Alice doing better! She may not run like a Swiss watch but she gets the job done. 👍🏻❄️
Absolutely worth the investment. The cost of equipment right now is ridiculous.
faxs tho so fucking much now im pretty sure sense covid hit cant even get wood bc its so much money now
@@tomhutchings8970 it's not because covid it's because we cut waaayy faster than it grows and only small percentage of forest are well managed.
Equipment is indeed expensive but fixing the fuel pump and putting new injectors in it wil also cost you a heap of money +the only thing this loader can is pick things up with his forks bcs he has no bucket for it. So is it really worth fixing? I don't think so. If i where him i would sel the clarck and the allis loader, and buy me something a bit younger
@@matticenoblesse8625 if it's the roosamaster injection pump..... for all injectors and injection pump... it'll run 1500 to 2500 bucks for everything
Why don't you put glass in that thing that way you might have a heater in it
NAPA still sells that pump you took off of there. I use 'em for gas on the Loadstars because you can't exactly get the mechanical for the 478 engine but I've also used them for diesel lift pumps and in one case water for a radiator mister on an old 2 stroke tour bus in the desert. They make about 4-7 psi, and come in 12V (Part #: DFP FE0539) and 24V (Part #: DFP FE0553). For some reason the system lists it as an in-tank pump (?). They've also got a 6V unit.
@corey Babcock Absolutely, as long as the carb float on the generator will close strong enough to stop the fuel flow. It would also work as a transfer pump if you still have the tank on the generator.
Hi Matt! My six-year-old grandson Lenny commented cooly: "There is nothin' Matt can not repair!" Your joyous shout "Yeah" after the engine started to run... was repeated the world over 41 Thousand times!!! Congrats from Germany!
You have to love old iron simplicity at its finest
The starter will give you trouble soon. You could use a small sawmill. Also, investigate if there is enough head in the creek, so you could make some kind of hydropower. You need 5m.
I think you use this loader a great deal and it has been useful. So worth some TLC!
I think so too!
Matt I love your videos. You're down to earth, no advertising or sponsorship crap. Just good old machinery and good videos. Love it. Keep it up
Enjoy your videos. I'm retired now was an operator, mechanic, truck driver for jobs so relate to your content and remember many of the models of equipment you drag home. Just a few pieces of equipment around my 21:47 21:47 home place so I'm jealous of your collection. I think it's great and find humor in the fact you live so close to the Auction yard. Keep up the good content
This makes me want a loader. And trees. But not winter. Excellent content!
You should consider changing all the fuel lines. Old lines like that may feel stiff and hard but will collapse internally and over work your components. They can also send trash through the system from internal deterioration.
You also just described a heart attack
I have found hidden screens in the fuel fittings of 2 Hitachi excavators, both clogged, and also on an Evinrude Ficht outboard.
He could reduce pump priming issues by mounting the pump lower.
Every piece of equiptment one gets always raises the question: How did I get by without?
Always a treat to find a new up load from you, Mat.
Hey Matt, UK here. Just started watching your videos, may I say, you seem to be a very pleasant knowledgable individual, hard working, no job is too big etc etc. The world needs more people like you.

Near where i used to work was an asphalt plant which was a beehive from April to Nov. One of the paving companies was running several IH and Jimmy ten wheel dump trucks from the 60s and 70s. Many trucks came and went but the ones that were 6 71 or 8v71 powered stood out. The ones without turbos were the very sound of Manhood. Drivers were typically wearing hearing protectors in the cabs. Its rare to hear any old Detroits today. Pity.
71 series were widely used in Coast Guard Service, '50's thru the '80s; 40 boats had twin 6-71's, 30 boats had singles, also generator power on a lot of vessels
How grateful you must be for your fleet. They never leave you short for material for videos 🤗
As always it’s a pleasure to see Matt fix another machine :-)
Looking forward to see the shop build!
Your videos are amazing Matt all this old equipment getting brought back to life must make you feel good
Im impressed how much fuel that little pump was pushing for its size
I like your enthusiasm and passion for hydraulic muscle. It's not easy to create interesting uplifting content, but you've carved out a niche and do good job of engaging and tickling the ribs of your audience. ✅✅
I started watching you when you bought the church, as I am a pastor and found it interesting. But I keep watching because only you are the kind of guy who would take a torch to a fuel line. You see, I think one of these days the whole channel is going to explode and I don't want to miss it when it does!!!
It's amazing how quick a repair is when you know what you are doing! Great little video, with valuable fault isolation tips for those just learning.
Hey matt, just wanted to say thank you for the content.. you’ve inspired me to do more stuff around my property and I’ve been a mechanic my whole life and you’ve opened up my horizons to equipment and my now new love for it so I’ve been piecing together some new toys to my fleet as well.. just a thought as I watch the video my friend.
Qq
Same here bro
What all did you get? Don’t leave us hanging! Lol where you from?
Nice post Gary
Nothing crazy.. just a skid steer with excavator attachment, stump bucket and regular bucket to start clearing some smaller trees and brush.. I’m in New Jersey
I hope you’re planning on sending the injector pump out for a rebuild. That would complete the fuel system makeover. 👍
And the injectors, she's running very rough.
Greetings from No VT - That is a great suggestion along with the injector overhaul - will add decades to her life at the rate you are using her.
Was going to make the same suggestion, the pump will definitely be suboptimal by now! Rule of thumb on mechanically injected diesels is to recon the pump and injectors at the same time, as they comprise the fuel system and the pump handles as much fuel as the injectors!
If you're going to do that. How about removing the fuel tank and tumbling it out ?
No sense in feeding new components contaminated dirty fuel.
Also, he should really fix that exhaust, it looks to be about 50/50 out the top and out the front.
Always good to see you were able to get the loader running again. Keep it up and looking forward to the shop build and other future projects!
Always love your genuine reaction when stuff works out. I always get the same feeling so feels so familiar haha. Keep up the good work bud. Greetings from a random guy from The Netherlands👍
The starter must be a BEAST!! Good to see her running again.
Matt, you make me smile. I love watching you do your life on the farm.
Probably a good idea to have the injection pump gone through when you do the injectors. Expensive, but usually worth it .
@@douganderson7002 You either throw some money at it or have a giant paperweight. Pick your poison. Besides...for this guy that would be content and content makes money
It's always nice when it's something small and simple. Glad you got it started with a minimum of pain.
That old loader looks like a solid piece. Always appreciate the content Matt!
Good video Matt! Never heard those fuel catchers called "pig mats" before. I worked for an oil company, and we always called them "diapers".
Yah, I’ve called them that too. Pig is actually a brand name like Kleenex and tissue
Running pretty good now..great job and from watching your videos i' m very impressed with your knowledge and abilities..take care and stay safe!
Your persistence is impressive!
You may want to consider putting in an elbow or something to move that inline filter away from that metal box it is up against. Being that close to the fuel pump, it will be vibrating constantly. I don't think it will take long for that contact to wear a hole in it. Not a big deal and easy to fix when it happens, but might as well avoid the issue.
You are inspiring the way you approach and tackle a mechanical issue in the most difficult of environments! God bless!
Another fantastic video!!! KUDOS to MATT for being patient, methodical and not giving up!!
Everybody loves a cold start, always great content Matt.
Like,share, comment guys and gals. Matt does a great job. He even answers back if you have a question.
I try! I get lots of comments these days!
I wish that they made truck engines and transmissions that would go through and last like this one has. You would buy the rig that you need, and drive it for the rest of "your" life. Just look at a foreign car or truck and its still running with a part from something else holding it together... simply amazing for all words of choice
You are very knowledgeable, which i love. But I find your persistence even more impressive. Go Matt !!!
Great to see it working! Needs some love this summer for maintenance. Great job 👏
That starter is proud!. Good job brother. Stay safe this weekend.
Great video love to see a drone shot of the plot in relation to the new shop and storage shop
There’s a good overview of that in the video of clearing for the shop
I love your channel and the repairs you do. I do a lot of the same kind of stuff on old machines myself. I'd love to know how you keep coming up with them. I'd like to offer 2 suggestions for starting a cold diesel engine in the winter. First, every owner's manual I've ever read says don't run the starter more than 30 seconds without giving it a minute or two to cool off. More important, an old truck mechanic friend of mine says the best way to get them running is by only cranking about 5 seconds and then resting for 5. He says when you run the starter continuously, it brings too much cold air into the engine. It also protects the starter. That's how I've done it ever since he told me and it's always worked. Hope this is useful.
Love this channel, still marvel at how much you deal with, I've known others who would be flinging tools when it didn't go as planned, or got stubborn.
Man that starter deserves an award 👏 🙌.
Great video. Love seeing that old loader working.
Loved it when you stopped all quiet when you heard the Detroit. As a Detroit owner and admirer - I can relate to the feeling of being in the woods and hearing the songs of the two- cycles. For me , I then start to think who is that? where is he? and we should be friends.
I don't know anything about heavy equipment but I sure like watching Matt fix stuff. :)
Your personality comes out in every video, Matt. Love it. So Happy that you were able to get Fat Allis started again, and look forward to seeing you take her all apart this spring to do the injectors and rings and whatever else needs to be done to make her purr... She old, but sure appreciate seeing the older machines still being able to run and work, and not just thrown to the bone yard. What I have always loved about Andrew as well. New machinery is nice BUT the older stuff is better built in most cases, and if you can afford to get them to run with some repair attentions, they will last.
As long as the cost isn't TOO much (varies with YOUR budget of course), then HELL YES it's worth repairing! It's a loader! LOL If I had the money and property, I'd have all kinds of HE gear.
It's an Allis Chalmers 👍
My ex father in law has a coal hauler in Newport with a 4/53 Detroit. You can really hear that truck screaming up through the outskirts of town. I didn't properly understand when he explained the 2-stroke aspects of the engine back then, but I have a new appreciation for the engine type now. The poor people of Newport would hear ol' Jim tearing through the town at around 4am each day.
Really enjoyable, interesting & fun video as always. Keep them coming, what you do is great !!!
Good troubleshooting there, brother! Bet Allis will run sweet with some basic work on the injectors. Very much looking forward to seeing the new shop construction as you creep up on half a million subscribers!
Interesting video. Heathly batteries installed, I was expecting the poor thing to run flat just before it started. A very handy machine to own.
When you send your injectors to "Area Diesel" for refurb (as I'm sure you're smart enough to do), send them your diesel pump for refurb ... always good to have OEM back up. Glad it worked out for you.
That's what I like about you , you never give up.
Never knew "The Island of Misfit Toys" was in the woods of Pennsylvania, 😆 🤣 😂 Keep that old iron running!!
🤣🤣
Matt, of all the things that can go wrong, a bad fuel pump that is located as easy as that one was, is probably the best problem you could have 😉😏
Nobody likes problems, but problems that are an easy fix are the best 👍👍
you deserve a like because it takes a lot of extra effort bring use along i appreciate it!
Yes, I could hear that. He was indeed "givin er". that was cool. thanks for taking a moment to keep that in there! Love that sound.
Thank you for all of the FREE content!
Absolutely , thank you Matt!
Your welcome! Thanks for watching!
To echo the sentiments of Ewan ( last commentator ), you clearly enjoy doing what you do Matt. I've been a subscriber for over a year and believe your personality is what makes the channel so engaging. You could be stirring porridge and we'd still get a kick out of the way you do it and how you express yourself. Long may you and your success continue. Congrats
Nice video. I like that your explaining everything so well and detailed. So people like me, who have no clue, get some infos. Thanks for sharing! Love from Germany
Diesel creek uploads, coffe on the brew plus past 4:20. Perfect ;)
Keep up the good work Matt
Thanks! Will do!
We use those adapters on wide body aircraft, I believe that all or most mechanics carried the adapter in their pockets. We used nitrogen bottles for tire service. Stay safe and healthy y’all
Nice job Matt! I sent you a comment awhile back, about a magnet heater and you put it on your oil pan over night. Your starter will be so happy 😊
Always enjoy watching the repair vids 👍👏
Watching your series of "restores" as well as others, begs the question of how many pieces of good repairable equipment is scrapped because of a lack of trying to repair and re-use. Just a thought.
I was going to ask about you getting the Injectors and pump rebuilt. I think it would really help how the machine runs and starts, im glad to hear that your going to do it !
The machine does sound good whenever the turbo spools up. What's going on with the Clark loader?
I'll be glad when the bad weather breaks and you
can get back to working
on your clearing for your
new shop.
Yep, no crushed fingers with that press. Perfect bends every time too. Thanks Matt !
Hmm...that's an awfully big track next to the loader...with triple grousers. I wonder what that could be? Good job getting the loader going. Fairly easy fix for a change. Gotta love it.
I’m thinking a crane of some sort
Big old excavator? I seen an Instagram post of his with an excavator bucket that took up the whole bed of his truck
@@usb23122 I saw it on Patreon. I can't spoil it for Matt, lol. It could be an excavator...or not.
06:10 I find a cordless heat gun to come in handy on many occasions such as this. I think Milwaukee, DeWalt, and Ryobi all make one and maybe a few other brands.
Cracking vid Matt like i said and many other have i would watch anything you put out! As long as you put it out i will watch it love your stuff stay safe looks bloody cold there
Love it when a plan comes together
Good work on figuring out what the fuel delivery issue(s) were with the Fiat-Allis loader, Matt. She is a tired old girl but as you said, she comes in handy much of the time. I'm looking forward to watching you bring new life to her this coming summer! I definitely think you should keep her in the stable. Thanks for taking us along for your "to do" list!
Noticed that your fan belts are badly cracked. New belts should also be added to your maintenance list.
Phat Allis sure wants to keep on living, it will be really fun to hear her run properly when you get her fixed up :)
Always fun to watch another success! Great to see ya’ Matt. Love Fat Alice.😍
C'mon matt flying this week woop keep up more content the better nmw for me busy year so far keep em comin thank you hope all ok be safe 👍👍 hi from uk
I think I mentioned earlier that it sounded like it was in need of some injector or valve work. Might be all it needs,
This Allis is one of my favourite machines you own. It is old but I love it and I love your videos keep up the good work. Your my favourite TH-camr.
Thanks Matt all the machinery on your property they are like the characters of your channel every one has a story and Fat Alice deserves that little extra love to keep her functionable It understandable you can't fully restore all of them and remain Economically viable. We enjoy all the repairs and seeing how these machines allow you to get things done. Stay well. Dazza From Australia.
to heat the line safer, boil water then sit line in the water. heavy oils would work also with less risk of flames.
Hey Matt I think ALLI is a keeper, she’s a good size machine, where the Michigan is a little to big, maybe you could sell the Michigan and use some of the funds to get ALLI where she needs to be , just a thought, she would look so sweet painted up. Enjoy your channel keep the videos coming thanks mike.
That’s the plan!
Especially with the forks for it!
@@DieselCreek A lil' lipstick and it will sell fast !
Have to admit I’m really partial to the Michigan but understand its bigger than what he needs.
I never would have believed that little fuel pump would have worked on that big loader. Awesome video Matt!
Enjoy you videos. I'm impressed with your knowledge of equipment doing a great job
Matt, just curious if you were ever able to find a set of rims for Christine, to replace the ones that were pooched when burnt?
...good one, , fix it if you use it, keep safe...
That's the plan!
I’ve been watching this channel for a while. Fat Allis is one of my favorite machines. I’m glad the big girl only had a minor problem.
Since you deal with so many old rotted tires like we do on the farm you should do what we do. I use a locking air chuck on a hose with an additional regulator spliced in the hose and a ball valve. We can hook up to a tire and fill it to whatever we want from a long ways away. Works great to be safe around old dangerous tires to fill from a safe distance. already had old wagon tires blow just being filled. Plus you can walk away from a big tire that takes a while to fill and just come back when it's full.
Perhaps when your shop is completed you'll be able to do some of these repairs in a heated area?
Well, that would be ideal, but he would still need to be able to drive it to the shop 😂
Have you considered a water separator for the fuel system? It works well on seldom used equipment in humid climates.
It could also be a worn out injection pump. Governor springs could be worn out or stretched, or the governor fly weight pins could be warn. Injectors usually you will have lots of blue smoke, or it would be missing, or both. Seems to run pretty good. Just is hunting at idle. Which is why I think it’s injection pump governor.
I knew you would get it running, easy fix, that’s good, glad to see it going again👍👍👍👍☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️
