Firing up the John Deere model 40 crawler and a Cat 977 Track Loader

[@Nick-nw6zg]

You just mentioned your most important project Tyler you became a dad👍🏼 that’s a life project

[@dieseJL]

Yeah and I’ll be darned it’s my favorite project too!!

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks for taking us around

[@Military-Museum-LP]

Great video. I’m not disappointed.

[@dieseJL]

Thanks!

[@Military-Museum-LP]

Glow plug a cat and it will always start. Once it’s running turn the switch back to the pre heat till it runs smooth.

[@dieseJL]

Yeah I was amazed how well it started with glow plugs

[@ClintsHobbiesDIY]

Resurrecting the JD 40 was the first vid of yours I watched. Nice to see her run again.

[@dieseJL]

Yeah I gotta get her in the garage and fix the steering clutches

[@justineheart8200]

I saw where a flush out was used cascade was uses worked great!

[@vilhelmrubinengel6738]

Hey tell your grandpa that the backhoe is top 3 coolest machines I've seen that thing is just beautiful

[@dieseJL]

Amazing

[@latemcire8387]

Love the big equipment videos! Thanks for taking the time

[@kenwebber9429]

I love the clearing blade on that machan. it would work really nice .

[@RustyInventions-wz6ir]

Very nice work. Your videos is great thanks

[@thesmallenginekid]

We both have the same problem. Too many machines so they end up sitting. But you just cant get rid of some because each is unique.

[@dieseJL]

Once I can hop in them and turn the key you bet I’ll use them though! Love your videos Andrew!

[@thesmallenginekid]

@@dieseJL Thanks, I need to find a 977 to fix up lol.

[@tennysoncason772]

[@philstreeter9703]

Thanks for the tour and update. Love your videos.

[@dieseJL]

Thanks Phil!

[@charlesbass9532]

Love the videos good to see young person like yourself working on old stuff. Please get the JD40 out the weeds haha

[@dieseJL]

Soon!!

[@christopherweise438]

0:52 That camera angle makes it look like the ROPS is 6" tall.

[@Blast357]

we call it antifreeze but it needs the water to not freeze as crazy as it sound... the water by itself will freeze around 0C... the antifreeze around -12C if i recall... but both together will go -45C... because they cannot form big ice crystal since the molecule are spaced from each other. so 100% antifreeze will freeze!

[@dieseJL]

Wow!

[@BruceBonkowski-i3d]

I never seen a 977 put the other muffler on I love to see it move

[@dieseJL]

Yeah we’re working on it, she’s in rough shape

[@DavidThurmond-l6o]

Finally a track loader with dozer pads

[@dieseJL]

That thing was a land clearing machine in her day!

[@queenofspadz]

Please don't forget a bucket on the 77 without the trans.

[@dieseJL]

We did… she’s all tucked in with a tarp for the time being!

[@simonyannopoulos4596]

When are you going to work on the steering clutches on the 40? Can’t wait to see that

[@dieseJL]

Hopefully this winter. I have the ford about done in the garage and the ditch witch half done in the garage. Soon!

[@JaGGeR-]

I'm working on a CAT 977L trackloader and my boss bought a "copy CAT" Chinese engine that kind of fits but having a hard time getting all the components to match up. We're gonna have to custom make a lot of things to make this work

[@dieseJL]

Why in the lords name would you do that 😬

[@JaGGeR-]

@@dieseJL if it was up to me I would've bought a real CAT 3306 for it but here we are lol. I guess the reason is because CAT doesn't build that engine anymore but I've seen plenty for sale elsewhere 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@JaGGeR-]

Update: the loader lives again

[@gerardzubrickas2685]

You got Morgan Wallen there turning wrenches lol

[@allenmkent9141]

In the critical moments it's like watching Beavis and Butt Head. Try yelling above the noise of the engine running.

[@fredfrancis80]

Love your work but you need to park that little dozer somewhere else other than in the long grass cheers

[@darrinlauscher6994]

This was the first video I have watched where it wasn't raining or snowing on your asses

[@neilkershaw5348]

Hi Mate great video, what would you recommend to un seize a small power washer motor. Was told to take spark plug out pour diesel leave for a week, should be ok.

[@dieseJL]

That’s a good place to start! Depends why it’s seized.

[@gkeever2826]

What would you take for your golf cart gas or electric? Lmk

[@dieseJL]

Brand new ezgo gas

[@thomasr.miller5553]

When will you fix the MICHIGAN loader to make it move like when it was new ?

[@dieseJL]

fix the torque converter? She moves pretty good as is...

[@thomasr.miller5553]

OK 🤔, But a word of caution .. If you dont fix it . ITs gonna crap out when you need the most ! @@dieseJL

[@АлексейТепечин]

👍👍👍

[@sergueiothonucci1638]

😃😃😃

[@davidfrench7139]

Where’s the case?

[@dieseJL]

Up north, I’m sure we’ll go check on that after hunting season.
