Will this Old Bulldozer START & DRIVE 2 Miles to Rescue NOT 1 but 3 BOGGED Tractors?

This video is a follow on from the first WILL It Start for this old Bulldozer since it was initially retrieved from the middle of the paddock some months ago. With three tractors hopelessly bogged, it finally has an opportunity to be useful once again if we can get it running again. Thanks for watching!

Hey Bruce, when I was about 10 yrs old they straightened the road in front of our house. The hill, which was quite large, became the source of the crushed stone for the road base. A crushing plant was set up and the work began. They were using a D9 Cat for removing the overburden and then assisting the crushing operation. Every morning is hear the pony motor start up and then the big diesel. I'd sit on the edge to the hill side and watch the progress. One day the D9 operator stopped the machine and waved me over. He helped me up on the dozer and we made a couple passes moving material. 63 years later I still remember that experience well. Thanks for the great videos 😊

[@metricstormtrooper]

And you'll never forget that thrill👍

[@Mercmad]

There's a channel on here where a contractor in the US does all his own maintenance of the various Cats he operates.(jaypaydirt) There's a vid of him driving his dads D9 when he was 12, actually working and not just playing around.

[@HirschPower]

Awesome story John hope you’re well hoss

[@campcreekhill8933]

Yep get on the grader

[@and__lam1152]

Get on the grader Brucey ... she's a beaut

[@mickweeks5358]

Please make a movie of the grader.

[@NebraskaOldGoldKnights0505]

Yes please!

[@MrBarrySell]

Yes please!

[@buddyweiz]

I've always loved those graders...hello from Finland!

[@doug9418]

That's a wonderful idea. Hello from central California.

[@spanners94]

That dozer just said "hold my beer, I got some playing to do".

[@Stephen-ou4sy]

Love to see the grader get a bit of attention. The old Chamberlain tractor still working is good to see. Thanks for sharing.

[@jimsum7018]

Bring the grader back to life Bruce.

[@Gav671]

The best content on you tube Bruce.

[@stevesalvage1089]

Thanks again Bruce , brilliant viewing. Glad all went well there , thanks

[@MrBarrySell]

Best video production on equipment repair on KZbin! The cameraman and Bruce do a great job at editing and production.

[@38score17]

We would love to see some grader action and thanks for sharing this thoroughly enjoyed watching it Mr Bruce:)

[@not-pc6937]

Glad to hear the eyes going ok mate 👍takes a while to get back to normal - no heavy stuff 👍

[@michaelfoort2592]

Holy cow, look at the dust! Amazing that it ran at all. And what beast, once it started to pull.

[@lukeplayer187]

I’d love to see you get the grader started and moving. Great story as usual Bruce about yourself and your dad.

[@jimbojones247]

G'day Bruce! True Blue Legend!

[@richardmiels3402]

Thank you Bruce; one of the best yet. Your cameraman/person is very, very good, as is the editing. Almost pro documentary level. It is wonderful to see old machinery prove its worth and this old Cat really showed its value. The build fidelity of machines from the late 50s thru 80s was pretty high, simple but durable.

[@RESSSQ]

If you could Bruce that would be great to see the old grader running and operating 🤙👌

[@adamdnewman]

Love to see more of the grader

[@xrpspeedboat226]

That was fantastic! Thanks Bruce😊

[@TerryLawrence001]

Always fascinating Bruce! Yes, Please do the grader too! 🙂

[@sausage5849]

I hope the farmer brought you guys some nice beers. Not that 4X or Great Northern rubbish though :-)

[@pls329]

Love to see the grader brought back to life, great channel Bruce

[@MarkJBWalton]

Agree, please make a movie of that grader

[@smudger6461]

Our Bruce on a Sunday afternoon ❤....

[@criswagemansbophadoung8081]

Great rescue mission.. Alice did well in the end.

[@goprojoe360]

That grader would be a good fix Bruce, it looks a classic 👍

[@bbrut3332]

Well done. Glad to see your eye surgery went well. Great getting the old dozer up and running as well as doing a grand old job of getting the 3 tractors out. Bring on the Perky powered Fiat grader.

[@bilinda508]

Great to hear your eye is feeling better!! Love to see the grader come back to life. Cant wait for the D8 either. Cheers!

[@paulorourke9198]

Another great, Bruce. You’ve pumped them out this week. Keep the stories coming. Most informative.

[@tdotw77]

Yeah of course we want to see you get the perkins & the grader going.👍🏻👌🏻🛠️

[@simonmanners4108]

I have bogged my tractor several times. An old set of aluminium loading ramps are best things for getting under wheels and easy for tractor tyres get purchase on. Heaves itself out like an old hippo in a mud pond every time easy.

[@laurencehastings7473]

What a trooper. You're still in recovery but find the energy to go and help others. At least it was well worthwhile. Recovering three tractor rigs in one mission. All in all that must have been a full day's work. A very successful mission Bruce and being the gentleman you really are, you found the time to thank the cameraman and the farmers you were recovering for helping you. Let's face it it's not a situation where you could phone a recovery company to save the day. Don't know if you like a beer but you deserve freebies for life after this mission.

[@vicbittertoo]

Yeah, carton currency, a timeless Aussie obligation and tradition :):):)

[@MrBarrySell]

I amazed that 11 months ago Bruce’s views blow up! The content is great.

[@stevemurphy795]

Grader, sounds like a plan . But you have got to look after your health first, particularly your eyes

[@pavil58yt]

What a beast! Pulled those tractors out like it was nothing. Another fine video.

[@stevenharnett5886]

Thanks Bruce great video and cant wait for the next ones.

[@brettace64]

Great work Bruce. What a good old girl

[@Arturo277]

Señor Bruce, ya me estaba quedando dormido, esperando el próximo video, es increíble conducir una maquina tan poderosa

[@denismartin4680]

Hello Bruce and the cameraman great work on getting those tractors out of the wet area the bulldozer did the the job easily track's are much better on wet areas great work fella's and yes it will be awesome to see you get the grader started and running enjoyed watching thanks for sharing Bruce blessings to everyone

[@brockmitchell3989]

Great video, Bruce! I enjoyed the whole video. I pray your eye gets better with time and healing.

[@chrisretired5379]

Awesome video, thank you! 👍👍 Hello from Alaska

[@larrytucker2938]

Super job...old Fiat Alice runs like a charm. Good luck with your peepers, guess I'll have to do that soon. Cheers.

[@KevinBlanch-q1o]

Hell yer I like the way you look after all those old machines

[@Paul-z4q]

Nice job Bruce 👏. I wonder how the Moon Buggy would've gone with this debacle...

[@muzzaresarf5038]

Video of the Grader please Bruce🤩🇦🇺

[@peterfarrell8520]

This video shows us all what “Solidarity “ and and having the wisdom and mindset of a bloke who been around & seen it all. Just having a leader who appreciates the wisdom of the right of might. And when and where to apply the appropriate tool or device?. Young people and bludgers will never appreciate the wisdom of their elders. Just because we might be slow moving, or slow talking. Doesn’t mean that we don’t know every which way to achieve a happy ending. If you’re prepared to shut-up , stop and listen, or just look at our history and working record. If it’s “Good “ it means something that’s a rarity these days “INTEGRITY “

[@andrewsnoozy]

Glad your eyes are good

[@lucidrain9469]

I love how Bruce wears his Sunday best to tool on the ground & fix all kinds of things inside the machines that are super greasy etc..😂😂

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear Mr. Bruce. 👍👌👏 Very well done again (video and work). Oldies but definitely Goldies! This applies to Bruce and the bulldozer. 😁 ;-) Get 100% well soon, Sir! Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and especially health to all involved people.

[@SgtE5]

Bruce, growing up here in Texas we had two Fiat Allis dozers, a 16B and an 11B. They were good machines and moved a Lot of dirt. I had to come back and edit this comment because it posted 20B instead of 16B. While I'm editing I'll add to my coment.. The 16B we bought out of Alaska thru an auction. When the dozer showed up, it had a complete brand new undercarriage under it including new rails and swamp pads. Apparently the auction company had a machinery service in Alaska install all the new workings and the machinery company installed it on the WRONG machine but it had already came all the way from Alaska to Texas..and we only paid $25,000 for the dozer at auction. The whole undercarriage was a bonus! I don't even think the auction fee paid for that mistake.

[@TheSeastar19]

Only in America mate, we here in Australia only dream about deals like you guys can achieve, here we pay more then that and still only get a worn out pile of junk for our money.

[@SgtE5]

@@TheSeastar19 that's not good at all, my friend

[@jackflak]

Yeah have a go at that old grader

[@matthewcox1122]

Good to see the old iron you rescued be put to a useful task 🔧🍀🚜👌

[@lynnesarc6461]

Great effort by all concerned, have been watching Diesel Creek who I suspect would love to see what you are up to, will continue to watch for your output.

[@SuperLaplander]

Lovely episode Bruce. Cheers from Sweden! Grader next, please! The tractor owners owe you a nice dinner, i think.

[@philmoore71]

if we can get through there...then we can go there.. then we can go there... well done on the farming ingenuity

[@AlunWilliams-i5l]

Your videos to some people would seem long winded and dragged out but to me your doing everything my dad taught me , my dad passed away 2 years ago but watching this has brought all the memories back so thank you and I'm now following ❤️

[@stevenjohannesen88]

Another great Vlog, yes get the grader going, and I reckon the cameraman is your grandson!🦘🦘🦘❤️🇦🇺

[@wildscotsman1]

Love the channel Bruce and yes I would love to see the old grader come back to life.

[@kazookie1567]

Love the old monster! The upper rollers are not spinning, btw.

[@SW-ok8qr]

Get well soon

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Bruce, the dozer is definitely coming in handy and goes to show that old machines still have the place, I wouldn’t mind seeing the grader come back to life to, great episode mate, cheers

[@johnmendez9849]

Yep it would be great to see that Allis go again.

[@keithk2926]

Looks like the old girl still has life left in her👍

[@gardenwaster]

What are these youngsters going to do when you cant help them out !! good job mate

[@liamdeerz]

Get the old grater going Bruce ! Another great video as usual.

[@jimclarke1108]

Nothing wrong with a bit of fun in the backyard Bruce

[@wercs4me]

The Old Dozer did the Job... Another Top Video :)

[@Neil-ru7kw]

For those viewers who aren't familiar with th phrase " mind your p's and q's " , the phrase dates back to the 1700s , maybe further . The pub/tavern owner would say this to the maids serving , and means pints and quarts . In others words keep track of how many ales were given to a customer . Cheers and 🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@mickpower9208]

Would love to see you get that grader up and running mate :)

[@brerobsym]

Take care of yourself, Bruce! Was awesome to see that old girl working, it's all good and well to get them to run, but to see them in action is so much better. Also, I thought you would know by now that asking if we want you to get the grader running comes under the title of 'Bloody stupid question!' Of course we do. Thanks for such wonderful content.

[@matthewherron2825]

The grader would be a good one.

[@denjhill]

That old Fiat-Allis earned her keep right there. Didn't even grunt. A beautiful thing.

[@bitterdrinker]

Love these videos. Bruce is an automotive Clive James. 😊

[@PeterBargholz]

What a ripper!

[@matthewlinehan5108]

Bruce your the best , love your videos . Massachusetts USA

[@scottjacko87]

Thanks for a fun adventure, Bruce! Would be excellent to see that Grader for sure.

[@robleary3353]

Absolute legend!. Nuff said!. 🙂🍺

[@harls9287]

Bruce to the rescue… eye surgery and all. Now that we know you are really Bruce Wayne we would love to know who Robin the cameraman is ? The electrician ? Nice bit of suspense in that. Any way I am guessing the growers will be not that keen in selling a cheap Fiat Allis dozer that untill you turned up they didn’t know what they had. One awesome recovery machine. Old gear those macadamia growers are running (except for the little JD) but i guess planting and developing those farms are expensive. They may offer you a part time role keeping them all going. Would love to see the 8 going and the old Alice grader. Well done to you both in your dynamic duo roles. And Thanks 👍👍

[@wazza33racer]

If you have air cleaners with a lot of dry dust in them, and you start up on a damp morning, the moisture will hit the dust and in seconds the dust turns into a kind of mud that chokes off the air badly. A lot of the shire councils, block off the high speed gears on their dozers, to stop people stuffing the tracks.

[@blackhouseengineering5386]

Great job Bruce and team, hope the farmer bought the first round! I wonder if the dozer being flat at low revs could be low fuel pressure out of the lift pump that picks up with the revs? Or maybe got a leak on the intake and loosing boost, once you pick the revs up the turbo spools up enough to compensate. Glad the eye is healing well.

[@kenc3288]

Hi Bruce, it would be interesting to see the Allis Chalmers grader be started and operated. Would make a good video. 😄😄

[@woodhonky3890]

Old cantankerous dozer for the win!

[@thewrenchreviews9986]

Grader? Heck yes!

[@wadelovich8912]

[@malcolmyarnold6172]

Good job mate no good been bogged I bogged my old d6 b cable blade a couple of days ago it was a bugger getting it out. Yea I would like to see you working on that old grader

[@scottdaviesvk2sdx319]

Nice work Bruce, Goes to show its all about ground pressure, not weight. 30T over 30 square feet of track is only 15 psi where the tractor is 5T on 3 square feet of tyre or 26 psi.

[@MarkC-h7l]

Yes please Bruce, get the grader going - regards markc

[@zacharygriffiths7370]

Get her going mate

[@allanmills5982]

Definately need to see that grader move.

[@dylannewby3926]

Hell yeah Bruce what a title!

[@PeterLasky-fp9rz]

Great aussie videos as always what a legend mate

[@larryelliott6321]

Nice, so methodical and steady. Took a real machine to extracate the others. Thanks for doing it! -From Idaho USA

[@rods6405]

Take it easy? Lets go and Rescue 3 BOGGED Tractors! Great Video! Been a while since my dad showed me that method of siphoning fuel!

[@Wasa9191]

The Allis-Chalmers grader would be interesting to see it up and running again, if you have the desire to have a go at it.

[@charlesallanstewart-kl2op]

Wow gotta say a great video bruce , you & Big Bertha (that's what I call her, lol.) did three incredible things b4 Breakfast hahaha ! no seriously it was great l hope the farmer's gave you a good dinner later in the day , meat & 3 veg & two tinnes , me l have Meat & five veg ,glad you are not stressing your Eyes gotta keep the pressure low , until the next video stay safe from Melbourne 😳😁

[@badasssamurai4954]

Great video Bruce and team! Loved the tires put in the rigging of the straps and chains to prevent a dangerous situation!

[@xXtReMeGrAfiXx]

Check hydraulic oil level when the rams/ pistons are in the up position. If you look at the dipstick while the hydraulics are in the lower position, It will give you a high reading. This is because the oil has been retracted from the hydraulic cylinders and back to sump. Which will raise level you are reading on the dipstick . I learned this from a 1969 Ford 3000 diesel tractors owners manual

[@TINRFD]

That would be true, if these were single-acting cylinders like the one in most (older) tractors, were the hydraulic lifting arms can only lift, but not push down. The dozer has double-acting cylinders, which can push/pull in both ways. When the piston is retracted into the cylinder the piston-rod displaces oil, so there is more oil in the sump. It´s the other way around in this case.

[@ericvonwiegen5672]

I enjoy watching ur videos 👍👍👍

[@BlairGuinea]

love ya vids Bruce, and HERE is another one
