John Deere MC Dozer Pushes 400 Yards of Dirt!

[@eggeranderson7716]

I love seeing these old machines still earning their keep!

[@jimsonbrown9768]

Sounds like it's not hitting on all cylinders. Sounds like it's missing on 3 and 4.

[@themadmailler]

haha... For a moment i thought that you were another armchair expert until i got the joke!

[@guineapigwarriors2453]

It is a two cylinder tractor

[@Tractors_Trucks_And_Pups]

@@themadmailler haha. That took me a moment too....I'm an Allis Chalmers Man so 4 and 6 cylinders for me, then I remembered all these deere's were 2 cylinders 😅

[@kennethnevel3263]

Only built with 2 cylinders, running just fine.

[@paulwillard5924]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@fcarp1685]

What are you using the fill to build up?

[@themadmailler]

+fcarp1685 there's a hump in front of the house because when the house was built the septic tank was covered rather than buried. we're using this fill to smooth off the hump and make it a gradual grade, and also cover the numerous stumps and rocks and shit in the front yard so we can have a veggie garden. Oh, and you like seeing the Ford, i remember - I tried using it and it's worthless! it makes more damage than anything else. The dozer is invaluable and easily the best machine i own. When the Case is finished, i think the Deere will come apart for a thorough rebuild/refurbish.

[@garydumoulin6318]

Nice machine. Are those the pads that came with this machine or are they loader pads?

[@themadmailler]

they are original MC pads, stamped steel rather than the common forged style seen today. the MC's and JD/Lindemann crawlers had those pads.

[@kaitheramptruckman7539]

Just bought a 1970 John deer dozer that’s lived dormant for 4 years I plan on building a road through 3acres of land any advice? I’ve never seen one but knew I needed it

[@themadmailler]

good luck! get it running and have fun!

[@kaitheramptruckman7539]

Will do!’ Hope she ready to be put back to working overtime!!

[@hotrodparker]

Hoss, when they (anything) starts boiling over, that means SHUT 'ER DOWN until you get it fixed before you blow a head gasket, warp or crack the head, or worse yet, the block.

[@evananderson3350]

this model doesn't have a water pump or a regular radiator cap. the steam is totally normal when you run them in the winter time

[@dembrowi_n_c.5111]

Have you ever worked on a 1.6L john deere twin cylinder?

[@MrBigKRob]

Why is it steaming. Is it overheating or is that normal. Mine gets up to 230 on the gauge and then I shut it down. Not sure why the cooling system doesn’t work on mine correctly.

[@themadmailler]

i had a loose fan belt, so it wasn't cooling properly. Also, i think i had just topped the machine off with water, so some was coming out of the overflow tube.

[@themadmailler]

it's also possible your motor or rad have rust or hard water deposits, hurting water flow and heat transfer.

[@MrBigKRob]

Thanks...probably will throw something up about mine here soon.

[@steveholton4130]

Those houses and street look vary familiar. Is that Silver Street? sdh in CT

[@decoysk]

shes a beauty !

[@bushelfoot]

Those are un pressurized cooling systems and without a water pump, you will kill this tractor too!

[@auaiao9]

That was an all day job. You worked into the night.

[@heartland96a]

Wow ,has to be in top condition to start that well in the cold!

[@themadmailler]

These are just great little motors! I don't think this engine has received much attention at all through the years.

[@tractortom401]

Its got some power!

[@michaelsilva2863]

Looks like she runs hot

[@richardsmith1707]

I'M getting warm !,

[@deeremandoug]

whats with the smoke. thats the last job for this machine

[@themadmailler]

Steam, unpressurized radiator.

[@kensnyder9372]

Bingo !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MarylandConstructionDiecast]

Nice video!

[@gordoncorey8023]

Nice mc 🙂👋👍have one

[@bohhica1]

Getting tired watching this push 1/4- 12 blade and only making another pile, I’m gonna go have some coffee in my oversized,overstuffed chair, I might come back tomorrow and see if it’s finished, might.👍👎🏻👍👎🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@themadmailler]

it did it eventually! any more of a blade full and the tracks would spin. this was really dense material. the tracks are also fairly worn.

[@bohhica1]

@@themadmailler thank you
