Resurrecting an old 2H D6, and bringing it home.

[@jacobbuckley8232]

Man theres a bunch of good stuff in that garage!

[@DOCTORDROTT]

very nice dozer 1930's D6 2H

[@patriot4258]

Wish my grandad was still with us to do cool stuff like this

[@NoNameRacecars]

Crazy how the old equipment just comes right back to life. Well done!

[@mikeengstrom8260]

Nice job Jeff and dad! Got that 3 lunger runnin and home where it belongs. The old girl found a good home/new beginning

[@morgansword]

Knowing the steer clutches work made for a better day as most were bad one side or the other and then parked up to seize up. Most all were cable blade and made good operators out of men never on one before. So happy that mice hadn't peed the valves up tight

I have an RD6 with a home built direct electric start. They removed the pony at the pony clutch and mounted an electric starter. You engage the starter drive with the original lever and then push the button to run the starter. Works good.

Cracking video. Best from England

You are lucky to still have your grandfather. Lost mine in 2002

[@JoE_Songs]

man what a beauty. in our plastic, planned obsolescence world, those machines become more beautiful by the day. wouldn't have been bad to see the bleeding process though ... all makes great content.

[@garyarmstrong4597]

Beautiful sound!

[@erik_dk842]

I love the sound of the longstroke D6 and D7's

[@bennyogden4524]

Looks pretty damn good with the time you get done reading all the ingredients and how to prepare at your past hungry or dead this kind of stuff I love to watch man these yes Old Iron Equipment starting up after years of sitting keep up the good work man

[@jeffg2256]

I really enjoyed this video.

[@generalistgarage]

[@davidkimmel4216]

Beautiful machine

[@denishennessy1318]

Just found this channel, great stuff 😆

[@colin8532]

Very nice!

[@fsj197811]

Awesome, good for you!

[@nathank7239]

You don't need to bleed the injectors by turning it over. Leave the throttle lever in the off position wich makes the injection pump have no pressure. Than crack all your injection lines and walk away for 3 hours and it will bleed itself.

[@gradyyokeley9930]

Did the man you bought the 6 from have a old side boom siting in the yard also.

[@jamessmith7691]

That's a beauty. No hydraulic leaks. lol

[@RomeKG471]

What was the pipelayer [sideboom]? Cat, IH ?

[@baraktzfanya3980]

Squach has a couple of them at home, and probably some spare parts too.

[@alanburns8155]

How about that old sideboom on top of the hill? With the boom up.

[@islawilliams9572]

nice one

[@hawaiiansunrise8984]

Doesn't look like you brought it too far. How far is it from your grandads to you dads place?

[@davidsellars4327]

My book isn't available, is that a D-6 or a Diesel 40? Did you throw any ATF in with the diesel?

[@bjduhon1528]

Sure would like to see you working on this

[@brunocontessotto9340]

Je conduisais le même avec un compactes atèle en 1972

[@georgesgilli]

joli RD6

[@jimjim753]

👍

[@erik_dk842]

Squatch253 needs a blade like this on his D6

[@bobbydillon9618]

I knew when your grandpa was driving that the mirror was not original!

[@wilmamcdermott3065]

Cool old dozer mine is newer d7c 17a

[@mariebennett5739]

The right hand track is on back to front the left side is ok

[@RustandDust]

Good eye

[@joedoakes8307]

So , you're running the engine on 12 year old oil ??

[@RustandDust]

No way! Its probably closer to 25

[@rondavis2791]

Lol

[@donstewart2059]

Might be a d7

[@Bernie5172]

can ya send that Singer Sewing Machine to my house , Please

[@robertordewald8678]

If you think of the world of Mad Max or any of these post-apocalyptic worlds in the movies the machines you'll see running won't be the most modern newest John Deere's are cats or new Holland's of today e-you but it'll be an old at this time seventy-five-year-old Cat that will be resurrected because it only took a hammer screwdriver and a pair of pliers to get it going that's how planned obsolescence should be!

[@byronstevens3790]
