She sounds great. Would have loved to see a bright shiny clutch fan on the front. It's not a matter if it's going to fail, it's just a matter of THEN. Be different if it didn't cost you an engine, under cloudy skies!

[@caesar1295]

She fired right up hardly turned over before firing straight up great job guys! Sure wish my family got along with each other like yours Matt your very lucky. God and family are everything in this life.👍

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Absolutely!

[@ewanstewart8011]

The engine sounds sweet and it was nice to see Peter in a cameo role of someone in charge 😅👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Great job putting the motor in the tractor guys

[@robertquast9684]

It is impressive how you guys tackle those large jobs. Self sufficiency is a good thing

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great video Matt Brad Phil Peter and JD

[@davidclaudy4822]

I saw someone’s daughter helping out. It brought a smile to my face as my youngest daughter would come help me sometimes in my woodshop. Great job and excellent video.

[@jiggyquinn5635]

Congratulations, good luck, best wishes for a bountiful harvest. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@colinkennedy8730]

Well done team good to see the tractor up and running

[@daleboulton1169]

Well done guys, great work, great to see the family get involved with the reassembly.

[@LukeLong-oi4uc]

Good to see you guys got the challenger back together. It sounds pretty good. I used to work on those back 25 years ago. Place I wrenched for had a fleet of 65 and 75 model Challenger’s. And they had a few 45 models. The place I worked for is long gone now, but back then we rented them out to pipeline companies around the globe. We made them into weld pack tractors and side booms, and tow tractors to pull tracked trailers hauling joints of pipe. They were pretty durable tractors.

[@bobcrawford2105]

Great work putting the Cat Engine back in And a big relief for you all that it fired up Well done

[@roberthocking9138]

It was all exciting till it wasn’t 😂. Well done guys, good to see it back and running

[@jhanlarosh6620]

Matt getting bossed around and the fluid taster 😂 it was a joy to watch great video 👍

[@edrouse9578]

Hello Clyde.

[@senyaw53]

It's always good to fire up a new engine and not have it run away or spray fluids everywhere. Good job all round. I does sound nice when it's running.

[@StevenMilne-sm4fk]

Can’t ignore his speed shop voices.

[@awells9112]

[@albutterfield5965]

Good morning from Texas

[@regsparkes6507]

installing the engine ( motor ) is one thing, but having to re-connect the wiring and accessories, now that's something else. :)

[@williamburns9731]

You're no one again Brad, however the cinematography definitely shows his grand abilities. Great video off the greatest. 😅😅. Now for a well deserved harvest.

[@snowfire45]

Outstanding job to you guys for getting the cat going sounds great !!👍👍

Great work, team! This unit has been down for a very long time and I know you are very glad to get it back in service. I am wondering how much counterweight you have on the front of the frame.. I am guessing about 900# or so? Great work, Matt and congratulations to everyone, You guys are amazing! God bless you and keep you safe.

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Thanks! If I remember to check I’ll let you know👍

[@t000lish]

Great video the old cat lives

[@johngibson3837]

Hry youse nice work on the challenger fired straight up and no smoke should be on target for harvest well done lads

[@timmywarren2349]

Very good Video 👍 👍

[@tallboy49]

That shower of rain with some warm weather will bring the crop on a lot sooner

[@seanworkman431]

Just as well they are ahead of the game.

[@angus6717]

Matt like a security light only works when you walk past it. All joking aside nice vid

[@thejacksonbrothers]

😂😂

[@nickmeier9356]

Matt, have you tried Flowtech advantage in Sydney for a muffler ? They make anything mild,stainless any shape any configuration. And reasonably priced too. cheers Nick

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Thanks!

[@newenglander4513]

Second! Love these guys too!

Gerslaton has had this strong wind up to 90 Kls an hour for two weeks , high humidity and temps between 24 to 36 degrees .

[@peterwright2692]

Nice to see a young lady helping her oldman, in this age of can't get a tradesman,could do a lot worse than been an engine rebuilder or a diesel fitter

[@overtime6696]

Hello again, Matt! This is a follow-up: what was the the original cause of the engine failure on the Cat? Just wondering.. thanks!

[@thejacksonbrothers]

@@overtime6696 it just needed a rebuild as it had about 15000hrs on it 👍😁

[@dpeter6396]

First! Love these guys!

[@alandawson2813]

Don't need a muffler, just straight pipe it. Let the cat purr.

[@colinquast9182]

That 10mm of rain would've made that wheat rocket in

[@davewilson7313]

Matt , CAT motors are yellow , want HP put in a CAT V8 3408 twin turbo or go the full hog to keep Brad happy , CAT V12 3412 twin turbos , big injectors , You may need a bigger fuel tank , run that by Brad , He may get really excited .... Cheers ....

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Haha he will get very excited 😂😂

[@SootyDiesel81]

I think Brad should ditch the muffler and go straight pipe she would purr under load 👌

[@stephenbookham9270]

that engine oil filter is the wrong one for Australian conditions it has been superseded to a 1R-1808 the 1R-0716 ones are only designed for a 100 hour service interval in Australian conditions

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Cheers👍

[@Muffin_Masher]

Just send the bill to Phil since his puppy has taken ownership :P The cost of running the machine has just increased in terms of belly rubs per hour :D

[@phill2009c6]

Is that a 4 cylinder desiel with electronic injection and electric pump? Noticed the lines etc were plasic caped. Nice work like that. Great video 👍

[@thejacksonbrothers]

It’s a c9 cat motor with is a 9litre 6 cylinder motor👍😁

[@Lexcommentyoutube]

of course it's windy! You've left the fan on 1:53

[@thejacksonbrothers]

😂😂

[@kurt7581]

Looks like Brad's back is shot

[@jayden4656]

Good video. You might want to external mic your characters. Hard to make out what they're saying.

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Thanks, i have tried a few things like different microphones but without it being staged it’s very hard to get good audio as I’m just recording what’s happening without knowing who will be there or when they will speak🤔 when I have more time editing I can usually improve it a bit bit thanks for the feedback😁

[@terencetaylor4600]

Looks like you now have someone on the job who will read the instructions and she will get the job done lol.

[@100thhog2]

Won't know what to do with the shed space 😂

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Exactly, first time in 12 months we haven’t had something broken down

[@jefftheaussie2225]

I noticed a bike without a motor in the background.

[@thejacksonbrothers]

@@jefftheaussie2225 doesn’t count😂😂

[@johnjordan4647]

Hey Matt what’s with the yellow ACCO out the back of the shed. The tipper has been removed for maintenance or has it been pensioned off

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Needed a new ram and pivot pins👍😁

[@jefftheaussie2225]

Not possible to pension an Acco off.

[@Romeo-kp8tc]

I think that's a Cat , C9, The one I drove , repaired, was a B, 2003 model, Replaced all the pulleys, Because the belt was slipping, but overall reliable , Plenty pulling power, what year is yours, Cheers 🦘🦘🇦🇺

[@thejacksonbrothers]

This one is a 2001 or around that, the first of them👍

[@stewatparkpark2933]

Cutting it fine 2 weeks out .

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Absolutely😳

[@Kenny-pm7qr]

Is there truly a farmer that leaves anything “factory?” Straight pipe it and let her purr like a cat should.

I'm with Brad. Go big or go home :)

Holy hell, 6 months, gold plated liners? Where do you get the engines from, you need to change.

[@seanworkman431]

And it still doesn't look like any tractor I knew as a boy. If I remember correctly, that engine was shipped to WA for the rebuild but still a long wait for a CAT. Quicker to send it to Tasmania, they are big on CAT down there.

is it a phantom "motor" or "engine" ?. correct theology please mat, remember it's important for those you're teaching
