Matt, I’ve been watching every single video of the restoration, and they’re not only very entertaining to me but I’ve learned so much from your methodical approach to putting every little part together. I’m extremely proud of your workmanship
Not to take anything away from Matt, because this is his first attempt at restoring a D4, but if you want to see the job from start to finish done by a man who is dedicated to D2 & D4 restorations and knows those dozers inside out, then go to the "Squatch253" channel and get educated by the best, bar none.
@@theshadow4292 I’m not personally interested or involved in any farm equipment since I’m a city man, but I have a lot of admiration for Matt and everything that he is sharing with his followers as he continues to make the best he can, so thoroughly despise of not being the most knowledgeable restorer, for all the viewers to enjoy such a marvelous series of challenges putting this machine back together. It’s so satisfying to watch his progress! And that’s all I have to say
Doing a sterling job there Matt. I have followed your adventure from the start and it's getting to the really good bit now seeing all your hard work (and it is hard on your own, I know) come together. Keep at it bud👍👍
Looking good Matt. Sometimes you just have to stop and think about things, sometimes you need to walk away too. When you come back with a clear head things fall into place. Keep smilin
For those of you watching for the first time, this episode is a BIG deal .. A VERY BIG DEAL !! Great job Matt ..well done..I've watched every video on this one.. some twice..great channel
Those bevel gears are called Zerol bevel gears. They are spiral bevel gears with a spiral angle of zero degrees. This gives the advantage of spiral bevel gears having a smoother tooth to tooth contact, but also having equal thrust forces in either direction. A gear set like in a car, for 99% of the time, is going to turn in one direction. The thrust forces can be more easily accounted for in that case, so they can use a spiral angle of higher than 0 degrees. In a dozer it’s more like you said, 50-50 forward and back. Thrust forces in this case I believe mean the gears are going to want to pull in, or push away from one another.
Great job on that bearing cap locating pin. I absolutely would have lost my fecal matter over that relatively simple issue. I particularly like your choice of replacement pin. Well worth a sitdown moment with choice of liquid refreshment. Looking forward to next episode.
Of course simply returning the pin to the correct depth after exposing the weld end and then re-welding would have been too straight forward and had a proper fit instead of mucking about cobbling up a farmerized version of the dowel pin.
@@deconteesawyer5758 Removing the recessed pin for inspection is sensible, given it was somehow recessed with bruit force. Then it's minimal additional effort to upgrade to a longer pin that hasn't attempted to be drilled.
Pleased that I discovered this project of yours early on. You have a very careful and thought-out way of ‘winging it’. Looking forward to the next video.
Hey Matt happy new year to you and your family. Being a mechanic and working on all makes and models of vehicles from lawnmowers to earthmoving equipment it's a real treat to watch your series on this build. Always waiting for the next installment to drop. Seeing your attention to detail and problem solving skills is refreshing. Keep up the great work you are doing we all appreciate your efforts and great content!!!
To a layman like me, a supposedly simple device, planned and constructed way before the electronic age, is remarkably complex when deconstructed, renovated then reconstructed. The series is a real eye-opener! Well done, Matt. You'll be able to work at a quarry soon, fixing D11s and other substantial stuff! (Sorry, I just heard the muttered denial!)
Another great video Matt. Been looking forward to an update on this build. I’m a transmission builder here in Australia and I’d be happy with how you’ve sealed that internal case cover. Keep up the awesome work mate. 🇦🇺👍🇺🇸
Loving this build series you're doing a top job of it all! it's good to see the pup in the episodes doggo's are awesome value, looking forward to the next vid as im sure it will be a fun one. Might be a polite thing to give that embroidery business a plug, that looked like a nice blanket and as im sure you'd know all business needs all the help they can get at the moment.... Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing..
Watching Sqautchs old videos. I believe that “dragging” adjusting bolt keeps the band centered so it doesn’t wear the top of the band hanging down from gravity. Pretty sure but my better half reminds me I’ve been wrong before. Happy new year!
Sounds sensible, that would also explain why he had to back them out as the linings were worn before and had obviously been adjusted upwards slightly. Fresh linings = back 'em out and start again.
The adjusting bolts underneath are used when adjusting the band brakes and keep the bands close to the drum to avoid excess pedal travel, same as a lot of tractors. Normally screw in gently until it is felt bands contact drum and then back off half to one turn and lock off. This is done before adjusting brake pedal travel. cheers
Matt, I’ve found myself looking for your next video even though the likelihood of me ever picking up a wrench is slim. Lots of fun for us viewers, entertaining and educational. Thanks much and best regards.
I’m impresses! Very big undertaking, but you don’t seem to get frustrated. How long have you been working on this? What do you think the project will cost, not including purchase price?
Thank you for sharing and lettings us view your project, looking nice and I'm happy to just set back and watch :) I thought a use of source of sealant or adhesive to help, but it is a learn project and do your best. Keep it going and was nice to see the Snow.... :) :)
You appear to have the perfect disposition to accomplish this overhaul task of your dozer. Patient and thoughtful while demonstrating excellent common sense while approaching each challenge. You've and most of us watching have seen the consequences of half ass repairs. I'm really looking forward to you lighting that baby off and enjoying the first drive.
I like the way you step back, when you're running into an issue, to analyze what may be going on. You've done it several times throughout this series and it's proven to be to your advantage. Your ability to research and understand the process is very impressive. Great content. Thank you for making these videos.
Nice job Matt! Now that you're "earning your boots" on this Cat Im willing to bet that you got "CAT FEVER" there just maybe a D-8 laying around waiting for a guy like you to come along and rescue her! Wont hurt to just go take a peek! LOL!
Matt, Next time you Want to drill out that hardened metal grab a sharp concrete drill bit. I've seen people use em to drill output shafts on transmissions. when you tear into the winch watch on TH-cam ( C&C equipment) Clint is owner they work and sell heavy equipment specialize in those winches. Great guys and will help you.
Matt is a first class engineer of that there is no doubt, he leaves nothing to chance checks everything he does over and over again. When finished this project will be at least equal to or even better than ex-factory.
Dude I’m super stoked to see that cat going back together. Nice to see Charlie got her a new blanket. I’m super impressed to see that glue held that rubber seal together. I want to see this machine rolling!! Good luck from Texas
Hi Matt, I have been watching your videos for a while now and I find myself so interested in this project. Keep up the great work I always look forward to your next video!
The way this came apart, with every loosened bolt revealing new carnage I'm afraid for you that you'll find more trouble in the tracks. She's definitely served a lifetime of hard work.
Well worth the wait for this segment to post. It's incredible how you figure out all the issues you have to hurdle to get everything to mesh together with so little to go on. You're lucky that guy who sold it to you is there with little snippets of info to help. Won't be long and you'll be pushing first this spring or summer. Depending on the weather of course.
Yep, backing away and thinking is good practice. Also sitting and staring for a long time at the project while sipping coffee or a good beer will usually bring on an epiphany that solves the problem. Really enjoy this rebuild series.
Hey Matt, built a lot of diff's in my time as a tech, you may want to spin your ring gear and check your back lash again in at least 4 places plus it helps to seat everything before tightening for the last time, and does it say anything about checking your back lash on the ring gear instead of the pinion?
Yeah I checked it every 90 degrees on the ring gear. The manual specifically says to check it on the pinion. I'm used to doing it on the ring gear myself
Fun to watch and learn - my father has a ‘59 international crawler loader that he rebuilt the wet steering clutches - Now ready to rebuild / weld up the track & roller assemblies. Thanks for the hard work 😓 and keeping the work to the highest quality!! From somewheres in SWMO-
Hey dude - me and the wife cant wait for the next few videos - we literally binge watched every single one after discovering this last month, what an insane mission man - i envy your patience and mild manners and endurance! I work on machines all day and on occasion a tool might go flying - cant believe youve just kept on pushing thru!! Also delighted to watch someone else doing all the hard work from our couch - we are very much anticipating the next vids.. i wish you all the best and plz stop banging your fingers up! now a tip i was going to write about was the permatex non hardening sealer (i see you discovered it) - excellent stuff, use it at the shop ALL the time! Many other brands but they all work the same- you can usually remove and dont have all the RTV to deal with.. weatherstrip is also great to tach rubber seals in place quickly - few drops of oil between any double lip seal helps lube it and lube it too.. You've done a wonderful job man! Seattle was the 2nd home for me when i was still travelling around the US - get some clear vinyl snap covers for the drivers cage so you can work in all the PNW weather and stay dry- We are pining to see this thing run at last!!!
Love the down to earth explorations of everything...easily understood and the video shots are superb...thank you for pitting the camera on a tripod so you can actually use both of your hands on this very heavy job..😀😀😀😀😀
Looks like deep snow ,I in BC a and we have lots this year . as an old retired mechanic,I’m impressed with the way you approach the assembly ,keep up the good work 🤔can’t wait for the next episode !

*- Hurrah for the paint. Hurrah for a job well done, Matt. Hurrah for a huge accomplishment ! ! !* *- I find myself so pleased for you.* *- Somehow, seeing the bright paint keeps my spirits up when you are struggling with finicky issues.* *- Isn't that odd. I don't know if it works that way for you, but it sure does for me.*
Steering clutches look like a piece of jewelry, beautiful resto. Your patience and mechanical attitude is the guide for a successful resto. Super glue does come in handy, especially when you cut yourself. Nice blanket for Charlie! Hopefully all the small snags are done, BUT, it is a tractor. Looks good Matt! KUTGW!
Matt, I want you to start thinking about your next project soon. I need to keep watching your videos - they must not stop! Sure is cool to see all that yellow coming together - I know it will the running soon....
LOL! He's actually a pretty relaxed guy and doesn't worry much about how others do things. Between me and you though, I wouldn't trust even a new locking tab, since they are foreign to me as a younger guy. I've been using thread locker on most of them, I just keep the tabs on to keep it complete!
I too have watched every video and I have sincere respect for your methodical approach as you conquer each problem! I truly wish that you were my neighbor so that I could work for you to do the little tasks which could accelerate your progress I congratulate your for your tenacity as you climb this huge mountain of success.

Use drill bits shaft for harden pin works good
...except for the fact that the 'shaft' (shank) of a drill bit isn't hardened so that it can be tightened in a drill chuck.
Love your videos. Can't wait for the next one. Peace brother
Another awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
I really love watching this build. Maybe I should have been a mechanic instead of a dentist!
Nice to see a new video for 2022! Looking forward to more as this beast goes back together!
Great video, you're very resourceful in problem solving. Well done.
30 minutes goes by so quick. Great videos. Thank you for showing.
Those bottom adjustment bolts are for brake band droop. They're critical to adjust properly to prevent excessive top brake band wear.

5 reverse gears and 1 forward gear?
Sounds like a French battle tank!
Dont over think the little stuff, just a dowell pin. Push it out a bit more and good to go.
You have to make sure you put the gear on proper side because you will have 4 reverse and 1 forward
now that would totally suck after getting it all together.
Another great video, when the next owner has a WTF moment they’ll be able to watch these.
Looking great!!
