I remember when you didn't even want to paint it. The paint job you did exceeded all of my expectations. You did a fine job, and it's gonna serve its purpose of protecting that machine for many more years. It looks just as good as any other non-factory paint job on heavy machinery, including a socially distant paint job another Matt did on a grader. It's gotta feel good knowing the first run is just around the corner.
It has been a long road, but your persistence has paid off and the end of the project is in sight. My hat is off to you for sticking with the rebuild. I'm eager to see it move and then move some dirt.
Matt. You do realize you are going to be rebuilding heavy equipment for the rest of your life. I have the feeling you don't have a problem with that. 😀 You have so much, set up, for the future. Seeing this run will be super awesome. The excavator is like wow. Yes. First things first. This is a lot of work. I think you love it. I know you do. Thank you for documenting it for those of us who don't have the room to do it. I am sure your videos will generate enough revenue where you can hire a painter. I also hate painting. Thanks, Matt!
Wow. A man, a 2000lb engine hoist, and a 1950 CAT D4. I came across this channel the other day, and I've spent the last 3 days of my life binge watching the 40 videos on this project. Extremely entertaining. Matt, you do love a challenge! I admire your positive attitude and the ability to persevere through it all. Well done my friend! I can't wait to see it move dirt!
14:30 I definitely learned over the years that the best way to figure out how something works is to take it apart and put it back together. Now you know everything about that machine.
guys like you, the lone DIYer, who takes his time, admis his mistakes, learns from said mistakes and produces an enjoyable video with great content..surely deserve more subs/views..but in time, folks will recognize your efforts and reward you so..
Well Done Matt~! You have done Caterpillar proud. Cat had to drop the Highway Yellow for environmental issues. I was supervising in the paint area at the Decatur Plant when that happened. It was "blow" to all of us. The new color looked like "mud". We used airless spray at 2500psi and used a lot of paint. We ran the paint line two shifts and painted about 20 machines on each shift. There was a prime paint line and a finish paint line with a downdraft ventilation system. Both lines had a pit with an elevator so the painters could paint the bottoms of the machines. The pits were not a favorite place to work. The painter's favorite trick was to get somebody to point out a "shy paint" area and when the pigeon got close to point out the spot, the painter would paint their shoes. LOOOL!!!!! You should take pictures and send them to the Caterpillar Museum and Vistor's Center in Peoria. They post pictures of machines and you have thousands to show the before and after.
PNH, Looping nice. Hope it runs/operates as nice as she looks. That model of D4 brings back so many memories of my youth. My father bought one for our small farm for plowing and brush clearing. Great powerful little dozer. Boe
Great progress! I'm really looking forward to seeing it start up for the first time. I only found your channel within the last couple of weeks or so, and I binge-watched this whole series.
Matt..somehow I feel like a young kid waiting for Christmas to open presents. Been with you since day one...you have come a looong way thru trials and errors..what a great education watching the progress. Your video series is a keeper to down load for future reference. Thanks again for allowing us all to learn as you went forward. 2 weeks you say.....hmmmmm. Waiting for the next post.
Awesome job! You're a brave, ambitious and patient man. I've been hooked on this series from the beginning and when a new episode comes out, it immediately jumps to the front of the queue.
Oh that is great. Thank you for going through the extra effort of recording, editing and uploading all of these for us. It's been great and we hope there is more.
This has been really fun to watch .. An exercise in patience and preservance 💪 Love it when a plan comes together ! Look forward to this and future builds
Matt, I look forward to every new video. I can't believe one guy can handle all these heavy parts and get them apart and back together! Keep up the great work, you're amazing. Looking forward to seeing it fire up for the first time
Wow 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮!!!! You have the paint done and now the engine on. Must be exciting to see you project coming together. You are doing a great job. I can not wait to see it all done and in use. I hope that it was worth all of your time and money. I wish that you had a friend there to help you with the engine. I used to paint ground equipment in the Air Force and you did a good job. We used to say, at 30,000 feet I do not think the piolet is thinking about the paint job. None the less the logic was that a good looking jet is taken better care of. Hang in there, you are the best!!!!!😃😃😃😃
I think it looks amazing. When you first got it it was in shambles it was left to rot. You completely tore it down and went over and fixed each piece and repainted and are giving it a new life. It’s going to last another 40 years now because of what you did. Great job it really does look good.
Wow , knocked it out of the park ,the crowd goes wild ! Single handed with less than the minimum equipment , I'd be over the moon to have done that in three hours ,seat of the pants engineering at its finest .
Hell all Friday...for a country dude you did a super good job not only on the paint but on what you have done so far. I am amazed at your talent to take this forest trinket and make it what you have made it into. I can hardly wait for the finished product.
Been watching you rebuild this machine for a long time and cain't wait for you to get it started and running again. Hate to see machines thrown on the junk heap when they still have life and purpose in them. Might not work as well as a modern new machine but for the purpose your have in mind it is much cheaper and better for your needs and should give you a lifetime of satisfaction and service. Keep up the good work.
I was taught by an old body man to thin using a drip count. Stir and pull the stick out and start counting as fast as you can with out slurring the numbers until the paint turns from a stream to a drip. For acrylic lacquer it was about 18 which was good. Establishing a count for your paint would help you be consistent with batches.
Really great job....did you not hear us yelling “take the spring out”! But then as we are not doing the job we figured “you’re not doing this and you are not helping”! So absorbing for those of us who never rebuilt a Pushy Cat.
Glad to see you at this step. It is obvious you know this machine top to bottom. Single handed getting the engine and drive together AWESOME. Paint looks great. Thanks for the video.
Keep it going Matt it is looking great and paint does serve a purpose I don’t know about your area but our area the dirt has an acid in it the paint helps with it to wash off
Matt, on camera it looks friggin AWESOME!!!. Remember when you were working out whether to paint it or leave it? I voted for you to leave it and I based that on, I don't know you, didn't know your skill level, and if you half assed it like most do, it would would have looked terrible. I take it back and I'm really glad you did paint it. You did it really well, you obviously researched what you were doing, and as we all know now, you don't half ass anything, maybe within reason but this brings me to my next point. You also don't go the opposite way and tried to make it look absolutely perfect either which could have been another fail. It is, what it is, and it is a piece of industrial equipment, and throughout this whole journey you have kept that right in mind. Great job Matt. I really hope you take us with you with all the others projects i.e. excavator and your 240Z. Oh and there was a little bit of being hard on yourself for overthinking it which comes through on all your vids. Overthinking something only costs time and it's your time to do with what you want. It's not like all your doing is thinking about doing something, look what you have achieved!!! Matt I would say you have the exact right balance of thinking and doing.
I congratulate you young man, to me you are thru the worst of the process and heading down the home stretch to a finished project, you have done very well as far as I am concerned and I look forward to a video of it in action, the D4 is looking great, thanks for the update sir.
Matt the paint looks fine once you have it all together and outside you will see the amazing job you accomplished on that machine. Hats off to you my brother.
its so shiny this has been one long journey i started watching when a video of you drilling your fingernail came up in my recommended ive been hooked ever since
Great job Matt. You bring us along on this project like we are there with you. I used to hang out with my older brother while he rebuild his motor bike projects. Would take months and there'd be set backs and ordering parts etc.. he just kept going through it all. Well, you remind me of him. He still has projects going, just now I'm 45 and he is 50, I live in the US and he is still back home in Ireland. So all that to say thanks for bringing us in and along with you. Edit; I'm not saying you are 50 🤣
Excellent job. I admire your commitment to this project. A lot of people would have lost interest and given up. You have resolved to do whatever is necessary and overcome any setbacks. I'm looking forward to more videos. Thanks for sharing.
You did a really good job for a beginner. KUDOS if you intend to paint the 240. Keep the gun 10- 12 inches away from the car. The fan will give you better atomization and lesson the possibility of runs. You can do all three coats in one effort. A light coat to give adhesion and light coverage wait 15 - 20 for paint to flash and then shoot it again. You can generally tell when it has started to set up by touching your masking tape to check for tackiness.
Listen Matt, I can't express how happy I am for you. I know it took time but as most jobs of this caliber, I think you did it in record time. Its still a ways from running but have faith that should go well. I shall be on one foot an then the other looking for the next one!
Before you install the rad you might want to put on the fan belt because of the pump shift will haft to come off if you're rad is on nice job on the D4.
Matt. When I painted my daughter's car. A painter told me. To buy all your paint from a single brand name. Don't mix brands. I believe I spent about 800.00 with my paint and including all of my supplies. My neighbor told me to take the car to his place. That's where I did all of my sanding using a DA sander. I bought all the supplies my painter friend told me to buy. The sanding took me about 6 days total. Then I shot the primer in about 3 hours total time. He told me to wait for the primer to flash about 15 mins between coats. In about 1 days time. I finished the primer. Then sanding the primer another day. The final day. I put up visqueen on the roof and all of the sides. Drove my car in. He told me. On the last day check the weather report. Then buy your reducer and hardner. Buy your cups and measuring stuff and your safety gear. Have enough reducer to clean your gun nozzel between coats. And finally start spraying. I have to admit. The painting process or base coat took 3 hours. As my friend said. Don't rush it. Take your time. After about 6 hours in his garage. I finally drove it out and did my unmasking. Then let it sit in the hot sun for the rest of the day. Towards evening I finally drove it down the block to my home. Your off to a good learning just like I did. I'm amature painter. I'm no expert at anything. I learn from my mistakes and move on. Cheers to you Matt
LOL. Now people show up with the painting advice. I think it looks great Matt. I was very happy to see greasy bent parts and wrenches. I'm so looking forward to seeing it fire up. Make sure your batteries are charged.
You've done a good job there, I wouldn't be too concerned with over spray or any mistakes as I imagine they were completely assembled and then painted yellow from the factory so virtually everything got a coat of paint with the exception of the seat.
Yellow is a difficult color to paint. I be painted a lot of JD parts and I've found that for me, black primer works best for yellow. These are the best videos of their kind. I throughly enjoy your commentary and skill. 👍
If it hasn't been mentioned: When lining up engine to trans take a few long bolts that will screw into the engine and cut the heads off to use as alignment dowels.
Great job Matt. Waiting a year for this to run is nothing....... I follow Project Binky and Tally Ho! (just to name a couple) and I'll be drawing my pension long before they're finished....... lol.
Man I’ve been watching this series since I came across it on Imgur a year ago and I’m so glad I’ve got to be apart of the adventure with you. Love your videos and your thought processes. Keep up the hard work. Can’t wait to see you push some trees over with this beast.
You have done one heck of a job so far. Thanks for taking us along on your journey Matt!!!
I remember when you didn't even want to paint it. The paint job you did exceeded all of my expectations. You did a fine job, and it's gonna serve its purpose of protecting that machine for many more years. It looks just as good as any other non-factory paint job on heavy machinery, including a socially distant paint job another Matt did on a grader.

It has been a long road, but your persistence has paid off and the end of the project is in sight. My hat is off to you for sticking with the rebuild. I'm eager to see it move and then move some dirt.
I literally took two breaths and here it is! It's not here, then it is! MATT!!
Your hard work is paying off. Looking great Matt. Far cry from a hunk of old iron dragged out of the woods.
Matt. You do realize you are going to be rebuilding heavy equipment for the rest of your life. I have the feeling you don't have a problem with that. 😀 You have so much, set up, for the future. Seeing this run will be super awesome. The excavator is like wow. Yes. First things first. This is a lot of work. I think you love it. I know you do. Thank you for documenting it for those of us who don't have the room to do it. I am sure your videos will generate enough revenue where you can hire a painter. I also hate painting. Thanks, Matt!
Great job Matt! Awesome to see what it was to what it is now.
Wow. A man, a 2000lb engine hoist, and a 1950 CAT D4. I came across this channel the other day, and I've spent the last 3 days of my life binge watching the 40 videos on this project.

I'm addicted to your journey. I love watching people work through problems ending with successful conclusions. You do that in spades.
So looking forward to the final steps and hearing it running. What a tremendous effort and undertaking. Very impressive Matt.
Don't beat yourself up. This whole project is coming along great.
Congratulations.
"...well, it's yellow..." Yep, it sure is ! Looks great. This is going to be the finest vintage/working dozer out there. Great job.
guys like you, the lone DIYer, who takes his time, admis his mistakes, learns from said mistakes and produces an enjoyable video with great content..surely deserve more subs/views..but in time, folks will recognize your efforts and reward you so..
Just got home from Hospital day surgery for my back. In quite bit of pain and on meds. Saw this notification and already the healing begins. TY Matt
Well Done Matt~! You have done Caterpillar proud. Cat had to drop the Highway Yellow for environmental issues. I was supervising in the paint area at the Decatur Plant when that happened.

You should take pictures and send them to the Caterpillar Museum and Vistor's Center in Peoria. They post pictures of machines and you have thousands to show the before and after.
I really want to try using airless with it now.
PNH,
Looping nice. Hope it runs/operates as nice as she looks. That model of D4 brings back so many memories of my youth. My father bought one for our small farm for plowing and brush clearing. Great powerful little dozer. Boe
Great progress! I'm really looking forward to seeing it start up for the first time. I only found your channel within the last couple of weeks or so, and I binge-watched this whole series.
really admire your patience. Greetings from Germany
Everything looks really good. The work you've done all on your lonesome. Putin that engine in on your Owen could not have easy. Great video.
Matt..somehow I feel like a young kid waiting for Christmas to open presents. Been with you since day one...you have come a looong way thru trials and errors..what a great education watching the progress. Your video series is a keeper to down load for future reference. Thanks again for allowing us all to learn as you went forward. 2 weeks you say.....hmmmmm. Waiting for the next post.
Did I really say 2 weeks? Guess I still haven't lost my hopeless optimism
Awesome job! You're a brave, ambitious and patient man. I've been hooked on this series from the beginning and when a new episode comes out, it immediately jumps to the front of the queue.
Oh that is great. Thank you for going through the extra effort of recording, editing and uploading all of these for us. It's been great and we hope there is more.
Bravo for hangin in there and getting it done. It will hopefully be a fine machine for a very long time.
This has been really fun to watch .. An exercise in patience and preservance 💪
Love it when a plan comes together ! Look forward to this and future builds
Matt, I look forward to every new video. I can't believe one guy can handle all these heavy parts and get them apart and back together! Keep up the great work, you're amazing. Looking forward to seeing it fire up for the first time
Getting along nicely. You have done a lot of work on that crawler. Thanks for the video.
Wow 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮!!!! You have the paint done and now the engine on. Must be exciting to see you project coming together. You are doing a great job. I can not wait to see it all done and in use.

Hang in there, you are the best!!!!!😃😃😃😃
Paint looks good. Some touch up to do but easy doable. I'm very impressed with your ability to study manuals and then apply those instructions.
I think it looks amazing. When you first got it it was in shambles it was left to rot. You completely tore it down and went over and fixed each piece and repainted and are giving it a new life. It’s going to last another 40 years now because of what you did. Great job it really does look good.

You did really well fitting that engine without help, I have watched every video, great work on your part
You've done so good at doing it right, paint the pan , even though you don't see it you'll know you did a short cut . Your Dozer looks great.
Been watching you rebuild this machine for a long time and cain't wait for you to get it
started and running again. Hate to see machines thrown on the junk heap when they still have life and purpose in them. Might not work as well as a modern new machine but for the purpose your have in mind it is much cheaper and better for your needs and should give you a lifetime of satisfaction and service. Keep up the good work.
Wowwww Matt, I remember when you first pulled this beast out of the woods... you are incredible!!!!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
When I worked refinishing houses, we always made sure the area at eye level on the throne, and above the master bed, was perfect. For the same reason
I was taught by an old body man to thin using a drip count. Stir and pull the stick out and start counting as fast as you can with out slurring the numbers until the paint turns from a stream to a drip. For acrylic lacquer it was about 18 which was good.

Thanks for the video.
Keep it going Matt it is looking great and paint does serve a purpose I don’t know about your area but our area the dirt has an acid in it the paint helps with it to wash off
Definitely Yella, My dad once sprayed farm machinery for a living - Massey Ferguson
Matt, on camera it looks friggin AWESOME!!!. Remember when you were working out whether to paint it or leave it?

Mate the D4 LOOKS BRAND NEW The Journey Has been AMAZING 👏 can't wait to see you push dirt around.
Matt so good to see you getting it together have enjoyed your channel looking forward to seeing it running and working
I've been watching from day one and haven't missed a video it looks like a completely different tractor!
I congratulate you young man, to me you are thru the worst of the process and heading down the home stretch to a finished project, you have done very well as far as I am concerned and I look forward to a video of it in action, the D4 is looking great, thanks for the update sir.
I would say paint turned out great! It's a working machine so don't worry too much about it.
Matt the paint looks fine once you have it all together and outside you will see the amazing job you accomplished on that machine. Hats off to you my brother.
Factory show room finish baby !!! Looks great !!!!
its so shiny this has been one long journey i started watching when a video of you drilling your fingernail came up in my recommended ive been hooked ever since
How frigging awesome!!!!!! I have enjoyed the whole trip
Great job Matt. You bring us along on this project like we are there with you. I used to hang out with my older brother while he rebuild his motor bike projects.

Edit; I'm not saying you are 50 🤣
Keep up the progress Matt! We’re all invested and ready for it to finally fire. Getting closer and closer to the finish line!
Looking good! 👍👍💗 Enjoying this project.
great job Matt... the end is insight.... and wow looking back when you pulled it out of the woods and now.... you have done a great job Cheers Don
Nicely done. I've enjoyed watching you bring that beast back to life. Thanks for sharing your story.
So very close, Matt....really looking forward to seeing the end result....you've done a fantastic job so far...😊👍
Excellent job. I admire your commitment to this project. A lot of people would have lost interest and given up. You have resolved to do whatever is necessary and overcome any setbacks. I'm looking forward to more videos. Thanks for sharing.
Great job, when you see what it was like when you found it, it’s amazing. 👍
You did a really good job for a beginner. KUDOS if you intend to paint the 240. Keep the gun 10- 12 inches away from the car. The fan will give you better atomization and lesson the possibility of runs. You can do all three coats in one effort. A light coat to give adhesion and light coverage wait 15 - 20 for paint to flash and then shoot it again. You can generally tell when it has started to set up by touching your masking tape to check for tackiness.
You have gone above and beyond on this build and it was so good to watch you work can’t wait to see it finished will done👏👌👍
I do like your phrase "just pop it in" Very well done. That was heavy lift.
I have been looking forward to this video. Great transformation, looks good!
WOW, with a new coat of paint she looks soooo happy!
That was an epic episode. Well done Matt. It was great to see the yellow butterfly emerge from its rusty brown cocoon.
Listen Matt, I can't express how happy I am for you. I know it took time but as most jobs of this caliber, I think you did it in record time. Its still a ways from running but have faith that should go well. I shall be on one foot an then the other looking for the next one!
Great job Matt, for being solo you have done an amazing job !
Looking very, very, good. Great work on this machine and we are all looking forward to seeing it run!
fantastic job Matt,,, thanks for the share, really enjoy watchig it all come together
Yes!!!!!!! FYI, saw the head off any bolt you can find for a dowel.
I believe I detect a bit of a perfectionist in you. That's a good thing. That will make you do a much better job of whatever you do. Great job, Matt.
Matt, pretty awesome job being a one manband and success while doing it.
I don’t think this D4 is getting lost in the woods! Nice job on the paint
When Matt opened the garage door I thought, "Is it night out or are we just being blinded by the dozer?"
Before you install the rad you might want to put on the fan belt because of the pump shift will haft to come off if you're rad is on nice job on the D4.
I've watched the whole series and can't wait to see it running. Heavy equipment breaking is the gift that keeps giving
Love it, brother! I can't wait to see this thing run!
You did a great job on all work you done 👍
Amazing what you can do with a woodworking clamp or two.
Awesome job, Matt!
Been waiting like a kid for Christmas.
Matt. When I painted my daughter's car.
A painter told me. To buy all your paint from a single brand name. Don't mix brands.
I believe I spent about 800.00 with my paint and including all of my supplies.
My neighbor told me to take the car to his place. That's where I did all of my sanding using a DA sander. I bought all the supplies my painter friend told me to buy. The sanding took me about 6 days total. Then I shot the primer in about 3 hours total time.
He told me to wait for the primer to flash about 15 mins between coats.
In about 1 days time. I finished the primer. Then sanding the primer another day.
The final day. I put up visqueen on the roof and all of the sides.
Drove my car in.
He told me. On the last day check the weather report. Then buy your reducer and hardner.
Buy your cups and measuring stuff and your safety gear.
Have enough reducer to clean your gun nozzel between coats.
And finally start spraying.
I have to admit. The painting process or base coat took 3 hours. As my friend said. Don't rush it. Take your time. After about 6 hours in his garage. I finally drove it out and did my unmasking. Then let it sit in the hot sun for the rest of the day.
Towards evening I finally drove it down the block to my home.
Your off to a good learning just like I did. I'm amature painter. I'm no expert at anything. I learn from my mistakes and move on. Cheers to you Matt
LOL. Now people show up with the painting advice. I think it looks great Matt. I was very happy to see greasy bent parts and wrenches. I'm so looking forward to seeing it fire up. Make sure your batteries are charged.
Practice and patience are well rewarded . Nice job so far !
The paint job looks wonderful. Great job
Looks great! Painting after all that work is such a treat.
Looks great. Alot of satisfaction comes with a job well done. You deserve every bit of it for seeing it through.
You are doing a fantastic job. Stay safe. Looking forward to seeing your work running and doing work.
I have followed this entire project. That machine is beautiful. Great to watch a dedicated guy restore a piece like this.
Awesome job so far bro. It's been uphill all the way for you and you never gave up !
Great video and lots of good info in this project. Looking forward to the startup!
You've done a good job there, I wouldn't be too concerned with over spray or any mistakes as I imagine they were completely assembled and then painted yellow from the factory so virtually everything got a coat of paint with the exception of the seat.
Yellow is a difficult color to paint.
I be painted a lot of JD parts and I've found that for me, black primer works best for yellow.
These are the best videos of their kind. I throughly enjoy your commentary and skill. 👍
That is looking like a completely different machine man. Doing a fantastic job, keep up the great work and content.
If it hasn't been mentioned: When lining up engine to trans take a few long bolts that will screw into the engine and cut the heads off to use as alignment dowels.
Great job! I like your detail and content very much.
Great job Matt. Waiting a year for this to run is nothing....... I follow Project Binky and Tally Ho! (just to name a couple) and I'll be drawing my pension long before they're finished....... lol.
look'n good, cant wait to see her back to work!
Well done Matt top job
Man I’ve been watching this series since I came across it on Imgur a year ago and I’m so glad I’ve got to be apart of the adventure with you. Love your videos and your thought processes. Keep up the hard work. Can’t wait to see you push some trees over with this beast.
Amazing job Matt. Looks great can’t wait to see this bad boy fire up.
