Learning point, when you go to revive an old diesel machine take 2 people that know how an eng8ne starts and runs. The old guy looked like he was at an amusement park pulling levers and pushing knobs.. Hilarious video.
I can't believe the one runs so nice! Actually the other one doesn't look.all that bad for sitting since the 60s However it's gonna be a project just getting it out 😂
Oh yeah! The tracks are locked up solid. Going to have to slide it onto the trailer. I've got a 12,000 lb winch and a snatch block but I'm not sure that's going to get it done. I'm thinking it will make good yard art!
Wonderful to see people like you with the skills and motivation to breathe new life into otherwise "throw-away" machinery. Far too much of what is purchased in this country is landfill-bound. Sad
Amen Mr. Ford, repair and reuse is what I prefer. To Hell with throwing it away to Buy a Newer Model that was Built Inferior Intentionally so we will rinse and repeat to Keep the Made in China Import Containers Constantly making round trips from their Shores to ours.
When I sell my townhouse, and possibly get a place that has grass to cut and gardens to grow, I will not be buying an over-priced, plastic Deere. Always wanted a vintage (running) Farmall. The garden will be tilled by an authentic Troybilt tiller. Had one years ago....never died; I just gave it away.
I grew up in Alaska and alot of really sweet tractors like this were left behind from ww2 then they built an airbase that might have shut down in 69 during my great grandma's time lol. But yeah lots of cool military tractors and old cats. When the government finally came and took the old equipment, tanks, dueces, etc. The tonnage was insaaaane, you'd think they were trying to sink our island 😂😂😂😂
Nice rescue and nice video, Randy. We are looking forward to seeing you get at least one of the two machines fully functional, restored and taking it to shows for the younger generations to see, learn about it, start it up and maybe even ride on it or drive it (and the older generations too). As the saying goes, "They don't make 'em like they used to." And that is what makes them so cool...they are "old school". Looking forward to your repair and restoration video series on one or both of these machines. ;)
I have a 52 D2 like that and a later model D2 electric start. The electric start is having the same fuel rack issue and plungers sticking its sat a few years. Im sure you probably know but that big bolt under the cover for the fuel rack is where you add oil for the injection pump. Hope the loader one is saveable
Tractor supply has replacement gas can spout kits. A breather is included but you’ll need to drill a 1/2 inch hole. I can’t understand why they made the spouts that style for “environmental reasons”. No matter how hard I try, I always ended up spilling a 1/2 gallon all over. After putting the old style back on, not a drop goes where I don’t want it.
I knew a Randy Walker back in the 80's, early 90's, this fellar was a Electrical Contractor around Lexington KY. I knew his Daddy in law, Harry. Anyways, that name kinda threw me, brought back memories.
Thats whats left of a belt pulley running off the PTO. Very common on crawlers of the period for flat belt work like theshers, buzzsaws, water pumps etc.
Call dang it's like working with my pops back in the day Zero mechanical know-how you told him to run it on either until it gets going and what does he do gives it a little shot and put it back and then does not when you tell him when it was quiet to feed it the beans still doesn't get it just like my Pops just doesn't get it it's great at woodworking but can't turn a wrench to save his life
Less blue grass music. If you have dead space just shut the camera down and restart, also the head camera don’t get it, too much bobbin around and sometimes you can’t see what you are trying to do as it was cut off by the hood. Keep at it you will learn as you go along.
I think it would be easier with a couple of ropes once you get it up to speed 12 pop it into gear and want to take it out of gear once it starts and then maybe another one for the throttle I would be getting so infuriated like my stepdad it does not freaking understand
Hi Randy .do u have an aunty or grandmother named myrtle walker .we are from Kerang Australia she is my grandfathers sister. Thort I mite ask we have been looking for for many years after we lost contact. Cheers
I have to say that although the music is okay I much prefer the channel to talk to me tell me what they are doing, looking at and let me what is happening. I much prefer this type of your videos, similar to Matt on Diesel Creek.
New to the channel, very frustrating with whoever is on the dozer.... i dont know how you didnt throw a wrench at him, everytime. Ugh... the look on his face says, he clearly doesnt have a clue what hes doing.
Any Caterpillar dozer uses diesel oil not not regular oil regular oil has wrong attitude diesel oil has the right additives in it for the engine on the in the big cat diesel
Clean the carburetor on a pony motor get it running right and use that started a thing before you tear up the machine trying to pop start it why would you even buy to dozers if you don't know what you're doing motor running make sure the rack is not sticking bleed out the lines do it right stop trying to pop start the dang thing
Big respect to your Dad. A very cool head when all around are losing theirs, lol :) (Rudyard Kipling poem)
The best part for myself was you working with your dad! I miss mine and think of him everyday!😊
That old Ford is a unit.

Hard when only one person gets whats going on. Reminds me of my brother

I remember seeing a old D7 with a Trackson loader. It was massive and looked like a death trap!

That is an Awesome Crawler, I’m envious and Hope to See More on it in the Future
After watching this video for a while, it’s obvious this is a CF
Interesting project! If that Ford 3000 was any lighter, there would have been no chance to pull the dozer!
You aren't kidding! She needed a little lead in her pockets!

Thank you! I know next to nothing about these. I have a full set of manuals on the way.
@@Randys_Relics great machines really reliable just keep oil amd water in em
great job mates . both should be sweet this stuff is getting rare now,
One of two of my favorite small crawlers Allis Chalmers HD5 being the other with it's 2/71 Jimmy engine will watching to see your progress

I’m new to your channel and hope to enjoy more of your videos. Thanks for sharing
I owned one it was for servicing oil wells it had a hyster oil field winch on it no blade on it just was used for pulling oil wells
Like your video keep them coming
I knew a Randy Walker back in the 80's, early 90's, this fellar was a Electrical Contractor around Lexington KY. I knew his Daddy in law, Harry. Anyways, that name kinda threw me, brought back memories.
Good video my new friend , keep the videos coming !
LOL. I saw it in a video once.
Cant Bump Start a Powershift !!!!!- But ya can a direct drive !!
Strong ROPS 😆
What is the spinning death trap on the rear why you were unloading it ?
Thats whats left of a belt pulley running off the PTO. Very common on crawlers of the period for flat belt work like theshers, buzzsaws, water pumps etc.
Bret is correct, I did not realize it was engaged. Normally there would be layers of fiber/paper laminated onto it to run a flat belt.
Call dang it's like working with my pops back in the day Zero mechanical know-how you told him to run it on either until it gets going and what does he do gives it a little shot and put it back and then does not when you tell him when it was quiet to feed it the beans still doesn't get it just like my Pops just doesn't get it it's great at woodworking but can't turn a wrench to save his life
How did you manage to get it started to unload it.?
I never shut it down, I left it running until I unloaded it.
Be better if you explained yourself better to your dad, he can’t read your mind!
Wow I that 😍😍😍❤️🎉👍
So Andy your only one that runs chopper ?
Dozer is in Decent Paint for its age
Rather than turn into yard art see if Squatch 263 wants it.
How'd you start it to get it off trailer
I left it running while transporting.

Check out the next couple videos. I think you'll like them much better.
Nice old machine 👍
I think it would be easier with a couple of ropes once you get it up to speed 12 pop it into gear and want to take it out of gear once it starts and then maybe another one for the throttle I would be getting so infuriated like my stepdad it does not freaking understand
Maybe you should take some diesel courses
Is this a music video
I could have brought my 955L track loader and helped ya.
Have you ever heard the saying some things are worth nothing until some one else wants it.?
How frustrating when person being towed has no idea what he's doing
You related to Kenny? These are less than an hour from me.
Not related to any Kenny that I'm aware of.
Hi Randy .do u have an aunty or grandmother named myrtle walker .we are from Kerang Australia she is my grandfathers sister. Thort I mite ask we have been looking for for many years after we lost contact. Cheers
Not that I'm aware of. Thanks for watching!
@therandywalker. thanks mate .hope the d2 resto go's well
The bucket one are rarer
I really wish it was in better shape, I have it home now. I'll have a video up on it in the next few days.
Take it a part an 🙏 that is fix able parts are out their
Pull it from the front.
Junk? Rusty gold..
It is hard to watch due to camera angles.
Sorry about that, check out the next couple videos in the series. I do a much better job with the camera.
I have to say that although the music is okay I much prefer the channel to talk to me tell me what they are doing, looking at and let me what is happening. I much prefer this type of your videos, similar to Matt on Diesel Creek.
Thanks for watching, I'm always trying to improve!
@@Randys_Relics its not easy, it takes a while to get the balance right.
New to the channel, very frustrating with whoever is on the dozer.... i dont know how you didnt throw a wrench at him, everytime. Ugh... the look on his face says, he clearly doesnt have a clue what hes doing.
Looks like u need a bigger tractor.
The Music Hurts!
I'll do better on the next one, hopefully your ears are healed up by then!
Any Caterpillar dozer uses diesel oil not not regular oil regular oil has wrong attitude diesel oil has the right additives in it for the engine on the in the big cat diesel
Clean the carburetor on a pony motor get it running right and use that started a thing before you tear up the machine trying to pop start it why would you even buy to dozers if you don't know what you're doing motor running make sure the rack is not sticking bleed out the lines do it right stop trying to pop start the dang thing
Enough of the Deliverance music!!!!!
Check out the next couple videos, no more banjos...
well, this was 60 min lost of my life! sorry
Thanks for watching! :)
