    As a Red Seal Technician, a truck push and safety officer on big inch pipeline projects I'm going to start using parts of this video in my site orientation. I was literally yelling at my screen... The fact that all this actually happened and wasn't done by stunt men leaves me amazed.. While entertaining, I'm amazed these gents still have their arms and legs, let alone a heart beat. A little saying we safety professionals tell the cowboys who say I've done it a hundred times without incident and nothing has ever happened... "FOR EVERY TIME IT HASN'T HAPPENED, THAT'S ONE TIME CLOSER TO IT HAPPENING! "
    Stay safe guys

    This is very interesting for me, i'm 80yo now and when i was a boy at Westport New Zealand, our family lived near the Government Public Works Dept workshops
    where servicing was done on D8 Caterpillars, plus other big machines and Dart and Euclid dump trucks used for removing overburden at the Stockton and Millerton open cast coal mines not far from Westport, so we were very familiar with these machines which we played on as kids on Sundays when the mechanical team were not there. Sometimes we managed to start one and didn't know how to stop it, luckily there was a neighbour nearby who did, LOL. Bob. NZ.

    This guy likes starting fluid. He holds the record. I've seen a few pieces of equipment that had been sitting along time ruined by the hook and drag technique. Always try and turn by hand first. Check oils for both quantity and quality. Fuel same thing. And check the air cleaner . I hope it's repaired to working condition rather than scraped. Back when made in the USA was the norm. Nothing built today will last like that . Good luck with it. It's a beauty

    • @jimmotormedic
      @jimmotormedic 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      @@mrbrown3462 I agree with that for the most part. However if you don't check things out before dragging cranking pushing or whatever, you can greatly increase your odds of ending up with scrap metal. A stuck valve or hydrolocked cylinder would quickly destroy hard or impossible to find parts. Just a few possible senarios. I've brought back a few engines and machines in my time and caught a couple of disasters before they became one. I hope it's not too expensive of a fix and it lives on instead of going to China and coming back as a bunch of cheap hand tools!

    Brings back memories. My grandfather had a cattle ranch in southern Arizona, south of I10 near the New Mexico border. He had a D8 that he used to keep up the dirt roads and build cattle pounds for water. I spent summers at the ranch when I could. Was able to get a ride a few times. Last I heard it set about 10 miles from the house when he was not able to start it. He died and it was still their when my uncle sold the place 15-20 years later. Some moved it as I tried finding it on google earth with no luck.

    I have an oil pump from a sb Chevy mounted in a 5 gallon bucket which I run with a cordless drill. I hook an oil line from this to oil pressure switch line and pressurize oil system before ever turning engine over so engine isn’t first turned in possibly dry bearings to prevent damage. I have started ones which have sat 15 to 25 years as long as the exhaust was covered. It’s generally more work to get the pony motor running than the diesel. Keep up the good work.

It is a miracle that you got it running at all and an even bigger miracle if that engine survived after torturing it while running down that hill. This machine is pure quality, reason it started, even by a bunch of guys capable of killing it for ever in just minutes.

They own about 60 trackhoes and rent them out and sell them. This guy moves most of them, he has old truck and trailer and has probably moved more excavators then any one in the world. I'll bet there are days where he has moved 10 a day and has been there forever. Gave me a bill once, I paid him extra and told him he was to cheap.

    I was a Cat mech/training instructor back in the '70s. I can't believe how that slender chain could pull the D8 without breaking. The black smoke on initial start-up was unburned fuel. The white/blue smoke is burned oil. The gasoline starting engined D8s our shop worked on had two sets of air cleaners and two stacks coming through the hood; one set for the diesel (thick exhaust stack), and one set for the starting engine (narrow exhaust stack). Every once in awhile a D9 would come in for work.

    It is very hard on that turbo having it going full bore and then shutting down the engine. The shaft connecting the compressor and turbine is spinning at 50-75k and is riding on a thin film of pressurized oil which is also helping to dissipate some of the heat. The oil pressure goes away and now that shaft is turning on what's left of the oil which is being heated to coke by residual heat from the turbine and it's housing. I know you guys didn't do it on purpose the second time but that's why you don't want to. Also why it's a good idea to let a turbocharged vehicle sit and idle for a few minutes when working it hard prior to shutting the engine off.

      old cats are stout as hell, and will survive being beaten within an inch of their life every day for years. Yeah, its good practice to let the turbo spin down, but it most likely didn't do as much damage as youd think.

      @@natehill8069 Yeah very true. I don't understand the way they went about getting that machine. I would have known if it had water or coolant in it before I tried to start it. I don't even think they checked their fuel filters to see if they had diesel or diesel water before trying to start it. Not the best way to save yourself expensive repair parts.

    I'm going to part 2 now. I was thinking about a runaway when they started tightening that injector. I'm wondering if water didn't get down into the pump and stick the rack open. The smoke looks like blowby, no one mentioned what it smelled like. I ran a newer H model back in the 1980s and found out that the transmission can run out of oil and lose power if you get on too steep of a slope. It's moving, so the transmission is probably ok. I'd say the problems are in the brakes and final drives as seen, I probably would have checked all the oils before moving it. I didn't hear a crankshaft knock. That the old engine tolerated that runaway I'd say makes it probably salvageable, but I would've probably tried to do a fix on the injector pump before moving it more.
    And yeah, I agree with a lot of others, I probably wouldn't have stood on the blade arm while this tractor was moving. That's another thing, I was waiting to see it go over the side of the road when that guy was walking it down the hill due to not being able to steer it, brake it and with the motor running away- it looked like the clutch was still stiff and iffy. That would have been too bad so I was glad to see him steer it.
    If you need an economical D8, without seeing the rest of the videos, my guess is that this one will be salvageable. Lets see.

      Didn't sound like the motor was running away at all. A diesel running away is hard to mistake and SCARY! I heard a Detroit 4-53 2-Stroke run away. Think the mechanic had screwed up the rack adjustment somehow or maybe injector stuck. They got it shut down by tripping the blower intake but it was pretty interesting for a few seconds. LOL Also worked with a guy that had worked in another shop on the Detroit's. Forget now if it was a 8V-71 or a 16V-71. He said a guy there had all the air box covers off bumping the engine over to check piston rings and it fired up. Not sure why---didn't have the governor lever in the fuel off position or there was a problem with the governor? OR it may have been an electric shut off that doesn't stay in the fuel off position after shutdown. We had equipment with both styles.

      @@21babydew Not always, if the racks stuck wide open the governor has no control over the rack so no control of engine rpm - that's still a runaway engine that can rev to destruction, especially if the engines under no load.
      When an engines governed to say 2100rpm max how do you think that's achieved? The governor pulls the rack back.
