- The Mity Kat bulldozer engine comes out in this episode to be torn down cleaned and inspected. i left it up to the audience and the vote was unanimous, do it right, pull it all apart clean it and give it the best chance, so here we go. Special appearance by my uncle Kevin in this episode to lend a hand and years of experience with old equipment, i owe alot to being raised in a family where oil runs in our veins. hope you enjoy!

Hope everyone enjoys this new chapter in the kats journey. I had fun and was amazed at the discoveries. Were into it now!
Those gaskets are probably made of authentic asbestos. And it’s all painted with lead based paint. It probably even had real dinosaurs in the crank case!!! lol!!! 😂
My greasy guts and veins full of oil purr when I watch videos like these! Thanks for putting the adventure out there for us!
I knew there were others like me! Thankyou ill keep the mity kat videos coming!
Good to see uncle Kevin on the job. He did some nice camera work.
He loves quality old stuff! Makes him giggle like a kid. Its great
Ya pulled it ...
Missed those fun an games !!!
Wow, good thing you pulled the engine and dropped the pan. Guess on these old machines its always best to drop than pan.
Ahh, I did hear the Babbit bearings may be inside these engines. Upcoming, I can hope that you or your uncle explain more on the care, inspection, repair and or replacement procedure of such a "feature"? Thanks! BTW, you made the right call on the complete tear down, or at least the oil pan removal. I got lucky with my old kats...no quantity of water got in the crankcase oil! AWESOME job.
Will do. Im familiar with them and reshiming the caps. Unreal how much clearance the mains and rods have! No wear on the bearings to speak of. Just some scars from junk in the oil. You got real lucky
i realy like what you are doing , i find it very interesting i hope you do bring it back to life .
Thank you very much, i am going to do my best im glad your enjoying it!
I agree I want to see it running in the dirt Thanks
One thing too remember when you start and run this engine is it was built in a time of highly leaded gasoline. Running it on unleaded gasoline will destroy the valve seats. Add a lead substitute and use a straight 30w oil.
The quality of the steel back then! I believe recycling steel and cast iron introduces aluminum into the steel and causes chemical breakdown over time.
That little engine was used in thousands of other applications from power plants to hay bailers !!!
A magneto would be a welcome addition and putting a one wire Chevy alternator an 12 volt conversion. instead of the generator will save you many headaches.
We all need an uncle Kevin.
From on in my life untill current my dad and my uncles have been a major influence and motivation to my career of fixing and building machines that make smiles and smoke!
Number 1 tool for old equipment restoration = Needle Scaler Tool, Number 2 = Air hammer
Can't wait to see more!
You got it! Thanks
Looks like someone has been feeding that engine some STP or some of those other additives that are supposed to “rebuild” the engine and make it stop smoking. My grandad used that stuff in his 1932 Ford V8 Sedan that he bought brand new in 1932. The car is mine now and when I got into the engine, the pan was every bit as bad as yours. And the intake manifold valley was much worse! After I got it all cleaned out, it actually changed the sound of the engine! My dad listened to it and laughed. He said he could hear the valve springs and lifters when he couldn’t hear them before. And he was right. All the sludge in the engine was actally muffling the sound of the engine.
I have a feeling that your engine will feel lots better without all that crap.
Thats a good point and i bet your right! The ole glue oil! Great example thanks for sharing it. Nothing like the sound of a clean nice running flathead v8!
Sitting on the edge of my chair!👍🏽😀❤️🇺🇸
Me too! Can you believe what was in there!
Looking forward to seeing more of this one subscribed
Thankyou! More coming soon!
I'd also love to have a hot-water pressure washer, would clean that engine off beautifully I think.
Put that goo from the oil pan in little glass vials and put them on your merch store.
I could do that but im not sure the post office would appreciate shipping it!
I can hardly wait to see what type of schmoo comes out of those gear cases. But most importantly do the brakes work?
Yeah me too. My guess is the gear boxes are going to be pretty clean. The brakes are working but they are not strong. You can see in the video the tracks changing speed.
neever seen a pan like that
in the likes of the screens or the cast iron contruction or the mud? its got alot of unique qualities about it
I'm going to guess the engine is now 30 lbs lighter now that the sludge is out of the pan
Yes id would have to agree. Imagine had i not removed the pan? The carnage that would have taken place.
the way always stays in shaft,,,, the key comes out
It allways seems to be in the way. Uncle kevin was excited to know the issue. Or is the way in the pulley bore.? Who cares i knew what he meant. Woodruff key must be removed it is in the way!
Hienoa katsoa vanhaa ja järeää kalustoa jollaista ei ole valmistettu kertakäyttöiseksi vaan pidempään käyttöön .kiitos tästä hienosta videosta lisää tätä..
Thank you i am happy you enjoyed it and i will be adding a new video each week if possible. I fix these old machines because nothing this good will ever be made again so we have to save the ones that remain
Could that also be the very same engine used in WW2 Jeeps ?
144 ci an 70 HP ?
If so parts are still available...
Much much smaller but similar in design. This is only 65 ci!
@ianwille5780 I believe your correct. Working on getting nos gaskets now. Those are real melted dinosaurs for sure!
You need new microphone the sound is far to low
Your killing me , what no ratchets ? Total other end of the spectrum when everyone uses power ratchets
Most of the fasteners are meant to be turned by wrenches. Ratcheting wrenches were quite new at that time. Im in no hurry and if you notice for certain parts once all the bolts are broken free the electric impact comes into action
