I am proud of your boys! They probably know more about engines 9and builds than 99% of teens their ages! Good job,Dad!

Hi great job

"Work fascinates me, I can sit here and watch it for 43 minutes and forty one seconds, any time" ! Thumbs up , absolutely!

Thanks

[@stevecraig3004]

It takes a special kind of team to take the time and effort to restore these old machines and get them back in the game. Keep up the good work!

[@robcarr5086]

A pleasure to watch you guys working and nice to see the next generation getting into it

[@scottsorby7966]

Clint I have to say your boys are a credit to you, they don't appear to fear hard or dirty work and they know how to deal with workplace humour. Theres many a kid and man out there that can't do any of that and will never know what a hard won wage is like, your boys will never be poor thanks to your guidance and the work ethics you teach them.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Very true

[@Fatamus]

General rule of thumb on seals and bearings "When in doubt numbers go out." looks like that works on rollers as well.

Hunter will grow up to be one hell of a mechanic you can just tell by the way he operates great kid

Another great video and another piece of equipment that will survive for years to come. You and your crew do great work and put out awesome videos. Thanks for sharing!!

The plane that flew low overhead was a Lockheed C-130 Hercules. Very common and incredible plane used by the USAF and Coast Guard, among other sources. It’s also what Hurricane Hunters fly into the eye of hurricanes. Great video! Fun to see these projects of yours come together and head out the door to new lives with new owners. I’m not the most mechanical person, but watching you is teaching me so much and taking away the fear to try tackling some of these projects myself! Keep up the great work!

Those boys are actually learning so that they can do out in the real world after high school.

[@comtnman8158]

The plane that flew over was a C130 Hercules, here in Colorado Springs we have a reserve unit that fly them all the time..The sound of freedom when they fly over!

[@thomasmathewson6229]

Side shift on the forklift would work as a power unit for the track press. Quick couplings on the hoses and you are good to go. My former employer used that trick to power a larger hydraulic cylinder. I am now retired. Always enjoy your videos.

Clint always interesting watching you and your crew working on the heavy iron.

[@B422TMack]

I have followed this project since the start Clint . Y'all have definitely come a long way with this little loader. Especially with the transmission and the undercarriage. I can't believe somebody neglected this machine like that. My grandfather's two operators , my uncle and my grandfather's best friend that he subcontracted for. all of them taught my grandfather what sealed and lubricated track was, When I was about 12 years old. He never looked back to dry chain after that. I was glad to see that because up until that point he used dry chain. I remember having to hold the railroad hammer so my grandfather or my uncle or some of their help would swing a 20 lb sledge hammer at that railroad hammer driving Master pin out. When they went to using SALT type rails with the alligator clips I thought I was in heaven especially when I got to be about 15 years old. Because by then I didn't have to swing that sledgehammer near as much when doing undercarriage work. Y'all keep up the good work bud. Mack

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

For sure I used to help my dad with them back when I was young

[@garymuntz7317]

30:16 smart is knowing a little hand pressure can help control the track. Wise is knowing that flat handing it keeps all the fingers.

[@dansbrown1313]

Thanks Clinton, you and Kevin are an awesome team. @ about Time stamp 5:34 onward I noticed you had that nice young fellow Mason pumping your ITR pin remover standing backwards to the pump and holding the pump handle about a foot below where the dang pump handle grip is. I know you're a caring Father with your sons so I figured you must be helping Mason build up his upper body strength for the school football team or something. That's when I noticed Kevin smiling and Tucker and Hunter standing back and watching? Somethings fishy in Denmark Bub.

[@berniematulevich2298]

I really enjoy watching your work being done on these machines such professionalism do you find machines for people and make sure they’re in good shape if they tell you what they’re looking for

The thing is that no one makes a track loader this size anymore and they really have their place. Had one for 25 years (450B) and I wish I still had it now. I think I could keep it busy in small places.

Great job guys! Definitely a lot of work but fixed right up.

[@safetyamsv3515]

Many years ago I worked in the underground coal mining industry, we had some crawler equipment underground for loading out coal. If we needed to split a track we would use what we called a "Copper Hammer" this was a 2 inch piece of dynamite with an electric detonator, some grease and a bag of stone dust strategically placed over the pin. we would the move to a safe spot and connect the blasting battery... BOOM and the pin was out, never to be seen again. Completely illegal of course but it did the job and saved hours slogging the pin with a 14lb hammer and a drift.

[@BuckMasterNorm]

Another great job. Thanks

[@mandeladams4793]

Always trust what is between your ears before trusting a mechanical device. Meaning limited time or walking under a suspended load, avoid points, assume something is going to break or fail, always have a pathway or escape or two. Great video with the next generation getting great knowledge.

Great video on another great project! I did the same undercarriage job on my Case 855c a few years ago, and sure could have used great the help you've got! Will agree with many, lubricated rails with the alligator fasteners are the best way to go! Waiting on the next video. 👍

[@jefferybonem7336]

Sounds like a shopping trip to Harbor Freight, your favorite tool store

[@jackdawg4579]

now that is trust, holding the pin while dad swings the hammer, but holding the pin while Kevin swings the big hammer, that is plain loco! :)

Greetings from Central NH Lakes Region - Sexxxy piece of iron! Great job bring it back to life. These older units are so great because they are pre-computer and emissions, much easier and cheaper to operate over the years. I just love these older 455s because they are so versatile and nimble. PS- I think Kevin should be getting a check this week!

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Maybe so Thanks

[@davidtrosin7102]

I know you may not like the mess because of all the dirt but I absolutely have excellent results by heating red hot with a rose bud torch and quench with water . I works almost 100% of the time for breaking bolts or nuts loose

[@martineastburn3679]

One thing that might help the rebuild of frames and sort of rusty frames - a CO2 Spray blast machine. Just like sand blast or corn cob Just CO2 pellets. Vaporizes a lot of the junk. Does fantastic job of clearing off junk to metal. Doesn't cut metal.

[@cullenmiller8170]

I wish we had one of those presses to press those master pins in and out. That would have saved me and my coworkers from multiple surgeries of having pieces of hammers or track pins removed. I spent two years doing track work every day. We would weld up idlers, rebuilt top and bottom rollers and had two track presses to turn or replace pin and bushings. Hard dirty work I enjoyed when I was in my mid twenties. You should use one of the Unimogs as a power pack for your track pin press. I’m glad you caught the backwards tracks since that is always embarrassing when you put them on the wrong direction.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Yep The press uses up to 10,000psi so not much motorized equipment would have the pressure
