I'd like to see you continue to restore this old dozer to an operational state. So far, it's been a great way to learn how to completely go through an old cat if I were to come across one. I'm in the process of starting a general equipment repair shop, so these videos are gold to me. I want to thank you because guys like you (you've been the best so far) make it so a guy like me can take on jobs or projects I'd otherwise not take. I would pay more to shadow you than go to a trade school. The wealth of knowledge you have about the shit I love is obvious, lol. You live my dream, haha. God bless you and your family. Thank you again, Matt.

Love it Matt you are the man. Save that old girl she is very worthy of it! Thank you

I like it ❤

You should restore that mower and put it up in your new shop as a display and reminder of where you came from.

Your wife was HILARIOUS!!! (I almost broke a nail)

I was in the market for an old D4 CAT when I came across a Massey Ferguson 2244 Crawler that I purchased instead. I am glad the 2244 does not have a pony motor. The 2244 needed all new wiring, hydraulic hoses, fuel lift pump, and injection pump gaskets, but it runs great now. The old Perkins diesel fires right up even when cold after it has sat for months. Love these old machines, keep bringing them back to life!

30:10 phaser rattle. You need new phasers and i'd do the timing chains too. not a bad purchase. just change the transmission fluid too.

Can’t beat that feeling when they finally come back to life!!

That pony is only running on one cylinder, the diesel will probably start better if you can get it up to full power.

I really enjoyed this video.

Bit late for my opinion, this only just turned up in my feed, my father worked for IH and when he was younger he and my grandfather farmed with a couple Ms , I think an H and an A (cub) I was pretty young, if only could keep one it would be the M for sentimental reasons.

Ngl this video was as good as Christmas morning...😉😎👍

I think you're doing damn good with what you have, staying in business and all!

01:01:00 That box got a whole bundle of sticks in it? Liberal Democrats? Cool.

20:30 that is a true gentleman.

.Iam amazed at your knowledge........ with these old machines! How lon have you been doing this work? You dont look that old. Love your show !

Enjoyed it

Any guesses on the R-value of HeatSheet's plastic packaging? 😂

How many orange A cars do you have, I saw one in the driveway and I see one in the shop 🤷‍♂️

Matt, you and Mustie 1 are the 2 most honest and knowledgeable guys i ever seen, what i like about your u tube shows is your honesty, if your not sure about anything you work on, you admit you dont know, i like that, also i like how you include your viewers in your videos, you ask your viewers their thoughts and include them as if they were working on your projects. But your videos are really great. They bring me lots of good viewing, and lots of knowledge you and mustie 1 provide . Thank you so much, and keep up the good work.

I had a 1974 cub like that I think it was a 124 but cant be sure. It was a tank. Now I wanna go find another one and fix it up to play with.

Looking at the valve cover and the engine paint I think you might have a silver 92 series Detroit, also the 1979 build date makes me feel you have a 92 series engine ❤❤❤

Any project you tackle will make great video! Roll on Matt!

Part it out you have better projects that need less love

You call what machine you want a diesel doodle bug ❤❤❤

wow good fuel pressure and burning clean for as old as it is awesome make me want to get one for myself and get it running

From an era where we built things to never die.

Don't keep things cause there practical keep it cause like a hot rod

i enjoy your videos matt. i have dads old d2 cat dozer. i start it on occasion, good to see you got it going

Matt you need to put 4in exhaust x 2.?????????????

Mack is a great truck.

hey if you find a cheap backhoe im in need

man find me one for 800 im on it!

Good to see you messing about with old iron , the stuff older than you and many of your viewers is what really gets our juices flowing 😂 welcome back Matt to the olden days 👍👍👍 Great video

?off road truck ?

Keep working on it, make it function.

I own 3 7-Us. You big engine would’ve started easier if your pony motor was running on both cylinders. These tractors are pretty much indestructible.

Yuppers come on wit another video shouting out from Canada.....

🤞🏼 Get back to this soon! As much fun as the sales are 🙄.... Fixing old iron is far more satisfying!

This is why i started watching this channel. Thanks Matt for the great video

Mouse debris.

Matt the best part of your videos is when you get an old girl like this started the joy is like a kid opening a present on Christmas morning !

Hey Matt where in Pa are you from, I’m from Reading Pa.

Caterpillar Lives again ! Thank You

An $11,000 piece of equipment that weighs over 100k lbs. It runs and it works... that is, in fact, a screamin good deal.

Matt I like the gradall ,the looks don’t always tell the whole story. You look like a kid with a new toy. That’s my pick. The guy from Ontario Canada Ken. 😊

The shop needs one of those big old exhaust fans for your projects lol. Glad you got it going!

Awsome! I Love Seeing these caterpillar videos. I have never seen one in real life or heard one . I'm from Sweden and my grandpa (now 90 years old) was a one man company by digging and moving dirt. And he had catepillars. If I remember right he had a D9 (maby in the 70s) from what I heard are those huge. 😅 He also had a dodge adventurer pickup truck as the company vehicle. And a Dodge Dart 1969 as a daily driver. For me is that pretty awesome. That might sound normal in the USA but considering its Sweden we're talking about and a small town like this out on the countryside I think it cool. I love old vehicles and especially the American cars just like my grandpa and dad :)
