REMOVING SEIZED PISTONS

[@caddydan7427]

Layed up in hospital with a nackerd ticker and a long road to recovery. this has put a smile on me face. Thanks muck.

[@tractorross]

Great as usual 👍🏼 always make me laugh .. would like to see the Fordson crawler to be honest

[@D0csavage1]

Duck Oil. Got a demonstration from the AA mechanic about 20 years ago spraying it on a wet road to see the water depart from where it was sprayed. Good stuff that is.

[@staym925]

Always those who freak out are ones who are completely ignorant to what they are talking about, I like how you put them in their place.

[@neilporter3286]

Thanks for being "The voice of reason" about the real risks of asbestos cement roofing sheets. Everything said was true, and the action you are taking is sensible (especially if you are getting the job at mates rates!).

[@1brokenspoke189]

I have spent many years working in a engine shop and have crack tested many blocks and heads using the method shown in your video but one of the most effective ways we have found is to simply bond flat metal plates over the water galleries ,one plate has an adapter for the air line .use either regular loctite superglue or a hot glue gun to bond the plates and pressurise to about 50psi , Now you can either submerge the work piece in warm water or simply cover it in soapy water from a squirty bottle .this method picks up 99% of cracks . The David Brown dozzer gets my vote :)

[@prevost8686]

My dad was a sailor in WW2 . All the ships of that era were full of asbestos as well as lead paint. He left the navy in 1956 and went to work for the railroad as a machinist. The huge shop that he worked in until he retired at 65 was also insulated with asbestos. He died at age 84 from heart failure. The hoopla over asbestos is way overblown.

[@LordMuck]

The guys building and decommissioning the ships were at risk but those working around it were at a much lower risk.

[@Graveyard_Hiker]

Lovely video! As a true David Brown fan I love to see that a 50TD gets saved. I would love to see the 40TD in action as soon as possible. Keep it up Lord Muck, your video's are amazing

[@billupstateny9151]

You will ignore the delinquents & take us along on the repair/restoration journey that the serious & attentive subscribers desire to watch. Enjoyable & informative content always.

[@LordMuck]

Cheers Bill 👍

[@johnheard2814]

Fordson, mucker!! But have Kim doing some good work on it!! Love seeing her!! Surely she brightens your days out working!! Keep on mucking!!!

[@joemcgarry6915]

I like watching your down to earth videos especially your running no nonsense commentary. Keep up the good work. I'm restoring an International BTD640 at the moment so some of your ideas are handy. I guess it will have to be the Fordson.

[@ohboy2118]

My roofer laughed when he looked at my garage roof inspection report when he saw the tiny amount of asbestos reported in the profile sheets. He removed it exactly the way you said. I'm more worried I won't see the Belarus crawler running and moving. Unless I missed the video but don't think so. Keep going Mucka 👊 Many moons ago as an Air Cadet I stood and watched RAF airframe techs testing a EE Lightning for stress cracks at RAF Binbrook.

[@garymoore2194]

Ah it has to be the DB for me. Super work. Mucker as always.

[@listerfunwithmarcus6177]

i dont mind wich one as i love all your videos happy days

[@Equiluxe1]

Back in the day you put paraffin on the item for checking let it soak then wiped it off and then sprinkled powdered chalk over it, any cracks would show up as the chalk dew the paraffin out of the crack. Also back in early 1970's I bought al old petrol paraffin Nuffield that had stood in an orchard for a few years with the cylinder head off, all I did was emery paper the bores lap the valves and put the head back on started it up and drove it five mile home, ( I did not know better back then) it ran perfectly for years I only sold it when I moved from Cambridgeshire too Norfolk and decided it was not worth the cost of transporting it 50 odd miles.

[@LordMuck]

I watched some lads in the Ivory Coast when I was in West Africa clean up a crank on a Cummins 555 with some emery cloth, surrounded by dirt and dust and it ran ok. I've seen some old boys use chalk and paraffin like you say 👍

[@stevehoffman9875]

Thanks for sharing the whole project. Can’t wait to hear it fire up!

[@wildefox1478]

I'd like to see the David Brown, looking forward to more progress on the 50TD!

[@jackdavidson7822]

Please make a video of how you got the crawler out of where its been sitting for all these years. I would be very interested in seeing that and the rebuilding of the engine and drive train .

[@angelocunningham5089]

I sure like your videos sir your down-to-earth kind of guy tell the truth that's what I like about you and I am learning a lot thank you

[@joshjablonicky171]

Have recently discovered your channel im fascinated by the work you do im learning a lot im new to diesels and i love the simplicity. To all the keyboard tuff guy's they can sit and spin 😆

[@robertspear9134]

I would like to see the David Brown; however, I will definitely watch whichever you choose.

[@johnsheahan7914]

Great video as always you always learn something new by watching your video

[@heavymachinery2843]

My dad had an old hanomag sat for years stuck dw 40 and all thet stuff would not help removed the crank an pusht them out with a bottle jack good work sir 👍

Old asbestos sheeting great for tree houses. I grew up in the 70's still not dead. Doing a line of asbestos now that's about the only thing I haven't tried YET.

[@rowan2128]

The fordson crawler for sure that thing is just awesome. I haven’t seen many crawler tractors

[@matthewbray5536]

Good stuff again. That is going to be a beautiful old crawler tractor when done . Think I’m going for the DB bulldozer vid . But does anyone really mind . Your vids are interesting what ever it might be . Cheers .

[@markbowen3638]

Either fine by me, always great viewing. Used to work in the aircraft industry and used dye to find metal fatigue cracks in airframes.

[@danmackintosh6325]

Similar dye pen method also in manufacture of bellows/gimbals/ducting for aircraft when I worked at Bird's although we used a UV version

[@peterlearmouth287]

Another great video and contents always very interesting and enjoyable to view I enjoy all your videos so the choice is yoursAppreciate the effort and time that you put in for our enjoyment many thanks

[@pedrift91]

Great video love to see these old david brown crawlers, I recondition pumps and injectors if your ever in need I also can make injector pipes aswell

[@LordMuck]

Drop me your details on FB messenger or Instagram. Might need a set of lines soon.

[@mseetherh]

Mucker! Another well done video, they are few and far between though!anything Ford gets my vote. I appreciate the detail in this vid and hope you keep doing it this way. PS Saunders ❤️ creme 🥚!!! Hello George!!

[@reeferdogbassin7909]

ive been restoring old iron too. The TIMMAY! bit made my night! Thankyou GDamn then u hit me with the fat lady in flour old crack in the block trick-love it!

[@trevorjarvis3021]

Great vid again Kurt, brilliant to see all the small steps being taken on the DB 50 - proper job. Fordson first but will watch every video you put out as there always good!

Cheers Trevor 👍

Anything worth doing, is worth doing it right. Roman was built in a day. Food for thought. Fordson

[@russb3816]

Thanks for making me laugh again. Everytime i watch i learn things, but im so entertained also. Well done mate. David brown for next.

[@charleshart6992]

Excellent! Fordson please.

[@philipm1009]

Fordson all the way get machine top job lord muck always learning something new from your videos

[@CarlHargreavesRustyRelicsUK]

My David Brown Trackmaster needed a full engine rebuild after having water down the exhaust, and it stuck. The previous owner towed it around to free it off and bent the conrods and cracked the liners, The tosser! All sorted now though. P.s .... Fordson crawler 👍🏻🇬🇧

[@bobhardy9634]

Why people do these things is beyond me is a engine has suffered damage through whatever reason it's far easier to strip it down and sort it out properly first as last bending the rods and cracking the liners ridiculous glad you got it repaired. Well done

[@keitharmitage1801]

I know you'll like this, when you were talking about asbestos I got a popup ad for N Ireland tourism!

[@DJC995]

Nice one Fordson for a bit of variation Have not heard a bag of flour for years Thanks

[@CB71SS]

Both I am sure are going to be good but will go with the crawler.

[@markmortensen4341]

I'd say the Fordson. Great explanation on the video👍🏻‼️

[@tomlinnett5245]

Very informative as usual. I’ve even stopped licking asbestos. Fordson please.

[@williamdavidson9009]

Sniffing it gives you an awful high!

[@hsagri69]

Nice one mucker. Been fair laughing through most of it. Loved the sit back and let the adults run the show (really wished they would). Love the social distance dog. Would like to see the fordson first sounds like it comes with some frustration comedy

[@amandajones3422]

You have a lot on at the moment then! I came across a county crawler based on the power Major stood outside​ shame and not for sale 😞 . So Good luck with with them all👍🚜

[@andrewmortimer1270]

Great vlogs Mucker always a good laugh at the numpties and very informative Fordson for me Cheers

Chose the bulldozer because I just bought a John Deere 350B with a 6 way blade . Using it on my property too clean up the over grown brush keep up the good work !

[@johnbarham7718]

Having done the asbestos awareness course, I could not agree more regarding, the "lie down in a safe space and let the grown ups run the world"

[@watomb]

Working at a ford plant I’ve seen a back up pump started after 30 years. The mechanic hit the frozen block with sludge hammer for 10 minutes(wood block). When it started it created a huge amount of smoke they ended up closing the highway down next to plant. The fire department also showed up. Seems like a nice project

[@LordMuck]

Exactly, a stuck or frozen engine can be freed relatively easily if you know what you're doing.

[@stevefrench652]

Gotta be the fordson, another great vid.👍 Watching your videos has prompted me to get back to my 880 implematic that I messed up some 20 + year's ago by dicking around changing what was actually a good engine. I was young,dumb and didn't know any better at the time, looking back I should have left it alone. Never mind just gonna cost a bit to get it running again.

[@LordMuck]

Get on and get it done 😉

[@fsj66]

With a David brown block, if you were to find a crack between the cylinders, could that be welded?

[@LordMuck]

Depending on the issue would depend on the remedy but yes I'd think so.

[@grahamhowland566]

Happy with either but the fordson/County crawler would probably be favourite 👍🏻 really enjoying these will it start/restoration type videos and looking forward to seeing how things progress. Just wondering if/when we might get your thoughts/review on the new defender ?😆

[@LordMuck]

Stay tuned... 😉

[@steveransley7227]

Great progress, really interesting stuff thanks, I think the dozer but it's all very good to watch.

[@bobhardy9634]

Enjoyed that , rusted in pistons usually come out eventually lol but for those of you who remember the Leyland TL11 and their heat sized melted pistons ,you wished you'd been a travel agent. I'll tell you how to get those out with extreme difficulty

It can be a real problem when your ring gets stuck. I know that ducks quack but I didn't realise that they squeaked too.

[@LordMuck]

You'd squeak if your ring was stuck... 😂

[@billupstateny9151]

As long as we see both, the video sequence is your decision, clever keeping the question till the end, who watches the entire video VS those that should be watching. admittedly, prior to this series, did NOT know David Brown built crawlers. WAS ONLY FAMILAR with their tractors

Interesting stuff this crack finding spray, never knew something like that was about. The second I thought that collie's running around in circle's you go and say come here and sit down😅 I'll go with the rest and say fordson just for a bit of variation but both wil be good. Keep up the great work and good video's!

[@gunton21]

Lovely as always LM. 👌👍

[@nolanbrown84]

Thank the Sweet Lord Baby Jesus!! Someone addresses the difference between "stuck" and "seized"!!! Good Lord some KZbinrs use those two terms interchangeably and REALLY REALLY want to pat themselves on the back for freeing a "seized" engine when in reality it had a condensation ring and was hung up or stuck. Seized means it's basically all grown together into the same part number 😂... If it's truly seized it's only coming apart with a complete teardown...if you can actually get it apart.
