    When I was a young boy I watched a mechanic beat out a tilt cylinder pin. I used to tag along with my dad as he was the superintendent. When it came free it went right through the door of his brand new service truck door. I was probably 12 and I think they had hydraulic pressure to it. The reason it was so imprinted is I had never heard the language that came out of his mouth. 😂 Came from Diesel Creek.

Somebody wife would show up with some Fallstaft beer, Vess sodas and food. Most of them had gone to high school and or Vietnam 🇻🇳 together.

    Can I make a suggestion as a former heavy hauler take a piece of heavy vinyl tarp Make yourself a bonnet out of it to where it has a drawstring and put it over the exhaust pipe no matter if you only go 5 mi down the road that turbo when the wind is hitting it is turning without oil and it will take out the bearings and the seals people that I was leased to guys wouldn't do it and they get to the dealer and they fire up the engine and the turbo would make this god-awful sound and it was because the wind hitting the turbo you know they're going down the exhaust pipe constantly spending that turbo without oil and they would end up having to put a new turbo on very costly mistake just a thought I love your channel I look forward to the videos when they come out and I would absolutely if you were closer by I would commute just to sit there and listen to that engine I love that turbo running and those pipes what a sweet sound

      When I was a kid I worked for a road construction co. My boss did farm work as well. He had all D8's and some cable scrapers - and some D21 and 31B turnapulls. One 46A, one 36A and some older D8's. the 46A was our 'king rat' and the skinner thought he was king S***! LOL. IIRC the 46A was the first 'Power Shift' D8. I don't know if that meant hydro-static or what.
      A friend's dad, in the same small town had a business that did only farm work. All D7's and cable pull scrapers. I was on a GSA bid list and noticed a 3T D7 at a DNR auction only 20 miles from home. I told the owner of the D7's about it. He got it for a $1500 bid - That was a long time ago. But that machine ran for many years with zero repairs - the pads and rails and sprockets were like new. It was the best cat in his 'fleet'. I got a pretty nice reward for that.

    Those two look like they date from around 1975 or so. They were both built in East Peoria building LL and I was a tractor test driver and inspector back then. When the put the dozier arms and blade assembly on they used spline drive air motors and then we would check the torque with six foot torque wrenches. Those pony motor starters could become a problem if the Bendix gets stuck when the diesel fires up. All of a sudden that little two cylinder gas engine is turning about 6000 RPM.

    Awesome Matt hooked us up with your channel and specially that old allis. I do hope you two get it running like a top again and you two make a series of it
