Thanks, my pleasure. If you read some of the comments below some people offered ideas that may be useful to you. When I first posted this KZbin content was MUCH different. 54 minutes for a "How to build a bulldozer" video didn't seem excessive.

Oh, I'd have to check the manual, but it isn't much, like 1.5 pints.

So, my manual says 1/2 a pint of SAE 30 motor oil for the injection pump. What you do is open the overflow valve and then fill with oil from the top till it just starts to drip out. Make sure the overflow valve isn't clogged up with dirt.

@@runforyourlife9684 Thanks. I have a UD 14A in a Adams Grader with this pump on it. I don't have a manual yet.

@@bob-the-Millwright If you want to get a manual just for the pump, I got mine from Jensales. The manual designation is IH-S-DSL-PUMP. It covers the IH pumps and the Bosch pumps maintenance and overhaul.

@@runforyourlife9684 thank you I will.

I measured the threads on my tool and they are about 1-1/8" x 18 TPI. I cut the threads myself on my lathe. I can let you borrow the tool, no problem. Send me an e-mail at [email protected].

I am so glad you found it useful. Makes it worth my while. I got my manual from Jensales. I purchased the "International Harvester Service Manual for Diesel Injection Pumps". I think the stock number is IH-S-DSL-PUMP. They refer to it as a Bosch "K" Type pump. Disassembly, inspection, and testing start on page 130. Yes, you will have to remove the cam, followers and then you will have enough clearance to remove the plungers. Let me know if you need any advice. I have a spare pump I got on Ebay, thinking I might need it, and rebuilt it as a spare, if you end up needing it.

Thank you for the quick reply. I will check the part number of the book I have. Did you have trouble taking the bottom plugs out? I made a tool like you did and tried to remove the bottom plugs and they wouldn’t budge even with a half inch impact wrench. I suspect they used locktite on them.

Oh yeah, those things were a PITA! I can't remember how I got them out eventually. I think maybe an old fashioned hammer-type impact driver. They have them at Harbor Freight. Try some penetrating oil as well. I'm pretty sure I didn't use any heat since the case is cast iron and the felt wipers on the inside would have caught fire. @@seapilot2

I now have the correct manual from Jensales (PDF version)! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. It’s nice to know that you have another pump available. Hopefully the one I have just needs a good cleaning. The governor part of it looks like brand new inside. Better than I would have expected on a 76 year old tractor. Thanks again! Great video

Happy to be of assistance. Good luck.@@seapilot2

Bro, that would be a felony.😬

Yeah, I guess I could turn new disks if I needed to. The ones I have on there haven't given me any problems. I really do need to build a better, stronger, lift mechanism. I've gotten a lot of good ideas from folks on here. I just have to find time away from all my other projects.😂 I mostly just use it now for plowing snow on my driveway so I don't hit a lot of bumps that would stress out the lift mechanism.

No, had to make my own adapter. Most .30 cal hunting rifle profiles don't have enough thickness at the muzzle for a 5/8" thread. This barrel had been threaded for a compensator with 9/16-28 threads. I was able to get a tap for that size at McMaster-Carr or Amazon; I can't remember which. You don't have to use a standard AR barrel thread pitch if you don't want to. And if you have a lathe and taps you can make whatever adapter you want to put your can on any rifle you have.

It's been so long I can't remember. I think it was three hours total. If you leave it in longer you won't hurt the steel since the stripping agent doesn't react with the steel. That is one of the reasons I used it rather than other methods, I couldn't harm the steel if I left it in longer.

That might get messy.

@@runforyourlife9684 yeah but would it quiet things down? Haha

Maaaayyyyybe? I'll let you try first. Let us know how it goes. 🤣

@@runforyourlife9684 I'm going to rethink things lol

You're kidding, right? No, can't do that. I would need a FFL07 manufacturers license to make and sell suppressors. You can make your own if you file the paperwork.

It's fun and simple to work on and that's the catch. If you own one of these you are going to do pretty much everything yourself. It isn't expensive to maintain, but it shouldn't be considered a serious earth moving machine. Don't get me wrong, it is WAY better than not having anything, so for $500 I bet you can't do better. You can still get many of the parts from General Gear, or FP Smith, or other salvage yards if you look around. And if you decide not to mess with it I'm sure you could part it our and make more than your investment. Where are you located?

How about you

@@waynefoth7174 I'm in Northern Virginia, just south of D.C. If you want or need more information on TD's, head over to the Redpowermagazine.com forum. You can contact me there at WaldoTD9. Also, the King of Obsolete, up in Canada, has a pretty good site with all sorts of info on TD's. I just think they are neat and shouldn't go to the scrap yard. What year is the one you're being offered?

@@runforyourlife9684 I am not sure about that.i have been kinda scared of it because of the sprockets being so wore out..I just happen to run into the guy that owns it this summer as ND we started talking about ithe dozer and he just up and said I could have it for five hundred

😁Thanks

As for the annealing machine, I'm sure you could. That was actually the inspiration for me to use the rotating drum. I just put four slots in it instead of the one. Here is what you need to do: Figure out what type of saw you are going to use and how you'll drive it. Then you need to be able to adjust the length of cut. Most importantly you'll need to hold the shells in the drum securely while they are being cut. I used a piece of aluminum like a shell plate so the shells wouldn't fly out and I used a little strip of felt in the drum so the shell wouldn't spin.

I'm sure, to some extent. How much, I have no idea. It probably has a negligible effect relative to other things that affect accuracy, like ammo or barrel bedding. And any impact on barrel harmonics probably won't be evident at the ranges I shoot with it. I use it for relatively short range (less than 200 yd) hunting. I now use it mostly on my 16" barreled 300 Blackout, so the weight probably has even less of an impact on harmonics there.

Thanks for the good feedback.

Yeah, KZbin didn't like it. Not only did they de-monitize it (which I don't care about) but they banned it and put me on probation. I was pretty unhappy about it. I put a lot of work into making those videos, probably doubled the time it took me to make the rifle.

If you listen you would learn that he applied for his tax stamp.

I haven't gotten to them yet! I know, it has been a long time. I have a pile of parts to do but some other project always seems to get in the way. Sorry. 😞

Exactly. I thought about doing a follow up video with a sound meter, but impulse noise (gun fire) is very difficult to measure without special equipment. A sound level app on your phone won't do it very well or at all.

Summit Supply. www.summitrubbertracks.com/ They have several locations. I got mine from the one in NJ. I also got the drive sprocket and a roller which I used to make copies. I called them up and told them what I wanted to do and they were very helpful in selecting the type of tracks and length that would work for me. Like I said they also stock the sprockets and roller so you can get everything you need there.

Thanks

Thanks, that was exactly the idea. My bench and targets stay clean and dry all year and are ready to go when I need to shoot.

As I stated in the video. It is a lot more quiet with the suppressor. No need for hearing protection. And I could also load subsonic rounds and it is as quiet as an air rifle. Gives me more options.

Big damn difference

😂 I did turn the comments off for a little while, but changed my mind.

@@runforyourlife9684 hahaha…! Well, just as well, it is a good informational video.

Thanks. I don't use it on that rifle anymore. Now I just use it on my 300 Blk with subsonic ammo. Way overkill. Sounds like an air rifle.

To show people you can make a suppressor for a 30-06 and it will work. When I made it I couldn't find any other videos that showed it could be done. That was a long time ago.

Pretty close, Remington 721.

Not really. Rube Goldberg means it has lots of unnecessary steps. This is pretty much the opposite.

Thanks.

You don't need to build a machine like this if you only need a few hundred cases. There are simpler ways to trim down a small number of cases. I needed this because I had a 55 gallon drum of brass. There are plenty of other KZbin videos that will walk you through the process step by step. It isn't hard. Good luck, have fun.

@@runforyourlife9684 Ah, gotcha! Yeah it wouldn’t be more than a few hundred cases at most. That’s good to know it’s not too difficult. Appreciate it :)
