BUYING a BURNED CAT Skid Steer With A Perfectly Good Engine

[@MrZimmaframe]

8 months is just disgusting for a shop to have your old block and then say the basically fked it up. It only takes a few days to do a line bore for most busy shops, in terms fitting in the work with other engines being refurbished. On a positive note at least you have a good engine hopefully now, and enough spare parts to make some money for the project.

Hanging onto that miscelanious stuff..that air cleaner housing sells for a couple hundred dollars.

[@Rob89139]

Man I really enjoyed the videos about this build and was wondering what happened. Good to see you're back at it and looking forward to its completion. Sure hope you found a new machine shop to work with. 8 months seems a little suspect

[@BradenBuildz]

Yeah. And I know I was the only one getting treated this way bc a couple times I called they greated me with a “oh is this the kid with the cat engine that’s been sitting here forever” yep. Yep that’s me.

[@Rob89139]

@@BradenBuildz Sucks that businesses like that exist. Hopefully the rest of the build goes smooth. Really enjoy watching you breathe life back into these builds

[@rona3808]

​@@BradenBuildzany update on this? I looked at the videos but wasn't able to find anything. BTW love your videos. Please update us on what happened to the skid steer build. Thank you in advance.

Really liked this video man you had me cracking up with ol elrod haha awesome job brother!!

[@MavManize]

nice job!! can't wait till you have the cat completed. My brother and I recently finished rebuilding a 3044c for the 287B.

[@terrykinsey1967]

You are very resourceful. I enjoy your videos. You have me scared to death though about my engine in my 246B.

Should have a million followers for the unique content and knowledge shares. Thanks dude great skills keep up the good work

[@TXTRUSTUD]

Subbed, I dig your skid steer videos and your editing style. I have been waiting to see more vid's on the skid steer so thx for the update. Please keep the repair videos coming and keep doing what you are doin, it's great and has a bit of comedy/chill vibe to it.

[@arturocruz1993]

Wow that’s a pretty impressive salvage yard

[@Olli120]

Great video! Laughed way too hard at Elrod angrily trying to unload that engine. Bet he was jealous.

[@gordonagent7037]

Hi Braden from Queensland, Australia, I’ve watched a couple of your videos now and love what you do, I especially enjoy guys who save old iron, so decided to subscribe. Can’t wait to see how the bobcat ends up. Anyway, we’ll done, love your content and commentaries. Keep having fun. As for Elrod, man I’d give him a wide, safe birth. Man, that’s is a heck of a parts yard, wish I had that close by to me. Love your wheeling and dealing mind

[@Vodnik110]

The closeups on elrods face while it was trying to load the block had me dead Wants to watch the world burn lmao

[@dericklong6191]

Dude that beat you're brother made has my subwoofer hitting so low... sweet lol

[@BradenBuildz]

He’s on Spotify “4conner” but mostly just makes beats for artists

[@GuildOfCalamity]

Can't wait for part 2... hopefully it won't be 8 months from now, lol

[@SPUDHOME]

To save an engine. I would sure try to use an external oil pump. There is some great quality pumps w there.

[@jonlyons3376]

I wanna see more videos. I love your builds man

[@justin95222]

Awesome, there’s someone else on KZbin machining the block for a turbo, I have a 287 with the same motor, the oil pump issue seems to happen a bit, makes me a little nervous, have you come across a better oil pump or any sort of fix that makes it more reliable?

[@ianwille5780]

Do you have a link for that salvage yard? If you have those chunks of block and they don’t go into oil passages or bearing journals you can braze it epoxy those parts in and the block should be good.

[@xjayfromva7730]

Always thought you were from Georgia but you are from Kentucky lol

[@KALI1080]

This type of engine is borderline impossible to line bore. There is little to no ability to adjust the back lash on the timing gears. When you line bore an engine, the crankshaft moves closer to the cylinder head in the block. That will cause problems with the backlash on the timing gears becoming too tight.

[@jackc7262]

Whats the name of that equipment junk yard...Im looking for parts for my skid steer?
