One of my favorite episodes continues! Just the greatest feeling I’m sure to get it back working 😊

[@RoryTrackrod]

When my 1960 DB 2.7 ltr Diesel, air cleaner base rotted out, I found a stainless steel saucepan in the kitchen, that was a perfect fit. It simply clipped into place and has a handle to ease those messy oil changes. It's still there 15 years later..

[@LordMuck]

🤣🤣🤣👌🏼

george saunders has gone all reliigious kept saying jesus jesus to the wasps heard of talking to plants . good to see the david brown bulldozer again keep up the good work

[@johnharris1636]

Love this video series! In my teens, my folks had property in Idaho and bought a Cat D1 with hand crank start gas engine that I played with. The right side final drive slipped so trying to climb a hill or push over a dead tree, it would want to turn. It was soo much fun! That was to late ‘70’s or so…

[@CompleteToiletGarage]

"as long as my ass face's south, that wasn't going to undo" Muck, you had my DYING at that one! Never heard that one! hahahah

[@kevinmothers904]

Finally managed to get over to the David Brown Tractor Club museum at Meltham a few weeks ago and was surprised to find they had a dozer in their collection too.

[@LordMuck]

Probably a 50TD ?

[@calumanderson5617]

An enjoyable video Kurt thank you and thank you again for helping the Collie dog rescue charity, I've always have great respect for people who like dogs.🙂🐕👍

[@johnburns8010]

Lovely old machine 😊

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Matt from Diesel Creek will be putting in a bid for that one 😂. Often wish a company would start producing manual (no electric’s) machines/tractors like this again, but then I guess people would hold on to them for too long 🤷🏻‍♂️. Great stuff 👍

[@LordMuck]

Matt's already seen it and loves it 😉

[@thegregdavieschannel]

That air filter looks pretty similar to the old Nuffield universal ones.

[@kevinmcdonnell2298]

It makes sense the way you do things and great to see it working sure sounds sweet

[@bobpaterson1845]

Great video 👌 the old DB sounded really good when you put the pressure on her love the New tea shirt with the dozer logo 👌stay safe 👍

Great video ya canny beat A Davy brown from Bonny Scotland

[@donparker8246]

That's a sweet running little dozer. Still a lot of life left in it. 😁👍

[@jefftheaussie2225]

The contrast between the D11 I have just been watching digging a hole as big as itself in 51 minutes and that lovely little machine is huge. Good to see it going again. Jeff

[@geraldingram9351]

Thanks for sharing your time with us all.

[@johnheard2814]

Love to see it going and doing so well! Be a hoot to see it all shiny and looking brand new. In terms I know. But be welll!!

[@dustymiller7758]

Great entertainment as always. Good old machine for it's age. Topdon are certainly making a good name for themselves, top gear well made.

[@robertanderson-yx8mo]

What a cracking little dozer,I'd keep it as original as possible,I love the patent it tells its story.

[@DJC995]

Hi Kurt Very Nice seeing the DB working Have a good week thanks again

[@dellhell8842]

Jeez you've given me another place where I can watch old dozers being brought back to life while @squatch253 is out of action with his eye surgery.

[@Max-br4ik]

Impressive how well the old DB pushes. Hardly sounds like it’s working at all👍 It must seem a bit different running a small dozer with a straight blade and not a 6 way😊

[@chrislovejoy8249]

Nice old dozer Mucker she's good for her age 👍🚜😊

[@MegaSkypes]

Great way to showcase a restoration project and making a meal of that landscaping cracking machine! Looking forward to further progress!

[@paulatkinson2849]

After all that time stood it's back to doing what it should be doing just like it was designed to do and no ruddy computers the way nature intended 👍

[@neilcrossley4718]

I had a Track Marshall 50 1959 for a number of years and as your David Brown dozer is of a similar era they both are brilliant pieces of kit and are worth doing up they will go on forever. Keep up the good work and I hope to see it when its finnished.

[@Falney]

That little thing is adorable.

[@andybeech1054]

Great video 😊, topdon has always worked well for us, top quality on a budget. DO WELL 👌🏽 👌🏽

[@richardphelan8414]

One of my favorite Muckers ,working on a dozer ,The more you know ,Sounds like Kim has some work cut out for her we haven't seen much of her in quite some time ,Dozers are my favorite subject ,I noticed it doesn't smoke excessively except on start up which says valve guides or their seals but no big deal I really enjoy the hell out of your content ,I hope you carry on with the DB dozer she worthy

[@LordMuck]

Being stood for 30 years means it needs a bit of work to soften things up

[@user-ps6xu4sl5c]

Fantastic video thanks nice to see the boss in the seat at the end lol 😆

[@stephenbrogden3777]

Great video as always 👍 fantastic to see the old girl doing what she was made for 👍

[@flatbrokefrank6482]

A useful machine is always worth spending a few quid on - stay safe

[@davida.p.9911]

She definitely still wants to work! 😎 Great old machine!! Excellent work on repairs! 👍👌

[@joeedwards627]

I’d get her mechanically sound (as your doing!) then leave her bonnet etc.. she lovely, just paint it up in oil

[@LordMuck]

The rust has started so it needs new tinwork

[@vincentwalker7134]

That's a great little machine. David Browns were well made and there's no reason while it won't plod on for another 60 years mucka....👍

[@stevengeater6198]

Lovely little dozier, I enjoy driving my DB 30TD, they were really well made..

[@seanworkman431]

The thermal checks from the old days were a lugubrious task but so was dragging an air hose around. I like the new kit we have available now, the old days of arriving at a marina with 20kg of insulated copper cable, an earth leakage device and all my power tools are long behind me.

[@kevinwillis9126]

Thanks Kurt excellent vid as always... Take care sir..

[@LordMuck]

Cheers Kev 👍

[@jimclements3190]

Nice to see a bit of analogue dozing, not a laser in sight. Nice job and interesting high tech at the end🤔👍

[@LordMuck]

There wasn't on the CAT and Komatsu either 😉😎

[@micksmaintenanceanddiy]

That was a pleasure to watch and a good bit of filming.Sounds great.

[@rolnics]

Perfect little dozer for that job, sounded sweet as a nut, shows what a good job you've done so far. She's gonna be mint when you get round to finishing her off. Do well! 👍

[@trevorpearson1832]

Still working well after all this time. What a machine. Very interesting video as always. Thanks. 👍

[@elroyelblander6277]

👍👍right on feller...nice old dozer.... thanks for the video..🍻👊

[@kensherwood4866]

A fabulous machine which despite its age and size is showing just how useful it can be, and to date apart from the hydraulic work it hasn't been an expensive resurrection. That said your considered approach is allowing you to "invest" in work to bring it back to a useful condition. Really looking forward to the next episode

[@whitesapphire5865]

Tell you what, Mucker, could do with the old DB dozer right now! Just be sure that the water distribution tube inside the head, right behind the water pump, is not corroded away. That's a common failure with those old DB engines, and yet is a simple repair - You can, and we did, actually make your own replica tube, and what a massive difference it makes to the engine. Nice machine you have there! Seen TopDon kit around for a while. I guess I should be taking a look at some of their products!

[@chrisfleming5109]

what a very practical bloke.

[@miketaylor8777]

Been looking forward to this video since I saw the video of you and Kimberley scrambling into that tumbledown shed. Video and your work doesn't disappoint. Looking forward to the next chapters in the DB dozer story.

[@rw3dog]

What a cool little machine. Runs great too. That camera is sweet

[@spannerdog123]

Old metal will still do the job, slower, less comfortable but can still do the job

[@michaellane9873]

It runs like a dream.

[@69woodburner]

I can personally vouch for the Topdon stuff. A friend showed me a battery tester some while ago. I was impressed and bought one. My intelligent battery charger died, so I bought one of theirs. It is superb and spends it's life connected to my kit car. I have the JS3000 Jump Starter due to owning an automatic car. Again I'm delighted with it. Last year I tried it on the Spartan kit car which had a knackered battery - I don't think it has ever started so quickly! Lastly I have purchased a Phoenix Lite 2 bi-directional wireless scan tool. I haven't registered it as the imported car it was bought is in the hands of the DVLA awaiting a registration number. I would recommend their products for anyone - usual disclaimer, I'm only a satisfied customer and I bought the stuff I have.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Prefect size for a dozer. Small enough to be easy to haul. Not so small that it isn’t useful. Probably impressive how quiet the tracks are after sitting in the dirt so long. Normally you’d think they would have a heck of a screech to them.

[@charleshart6992]

Excellent video - look forward to seeing this project progress!

[@Digger63]

yep they were bloody great i had three off them; one td 40 & two td50 s mark 2 s down here NZ pissed off they stop making them.

Another great video. Enjoyed watching 👍🏼👍🏼

[@michaelguerin56]

Good video. No surprise that you cut the rusted gutter bolts off the air cleaner brackets. As a carpenter, I have had a ‘guts full’ of dealing with those things during various renovations😁.

[@spudhauler]

Good to see it was worth the time and effort to bring it back to life. You say all the undercarriage in decent nick probably down to an era when an operator knew what a grease gun was👍. Not like your kuboto driver🙈

[@brianyoung9014]

Great old Dozer.

[@JonDingle]

That is a nice little dozer melod. I like FLIR, my CAT S61 and CAT S62 mobile phone have FLIR on them. It is a very useful tool indeed.

[@johnwood346]

Got the js3000 after watching your assessment of it great bit of kit so far only had it since January but its had plenty of use at home and at The garage I work at so nice and compact but powerful enough to do the job over and over again

[@alfadoofus]

Nice running machine .

[@alexandermckellar4001]

Great video and a great old machine. Great work and effort to keep it alive. Awesome

[@rustyshank912]

People wonder why I leave my equipment in their work clothes. I always have another project that needs work mechanically so a full restoration is beyond my time and money.

[@AliMackMechanical]

Good to see how well the old David Brown has come along. Av got a Topdon battery booster Js2000 I have say it is good for starting Somthing that has just been left a day. But something that has been left a month not so much. It gets to hot and cuts out. But not to worry its only a small one. Otherwise there kit is top-notch. Got there Diagnostics and thats really good. 👍

[@douglasmayherjr.5733]

Looks like a nice little dozer. You have spent some time operating dozers, it’s like a roller coaster ride when I try to grade. Thanks for the Videos. Looks like a nice little camera too, I will have to check out Topdon.

I was watching a ploughing match at Chertsey a few weeks. Plenty of David’s there. No Ferdinand or Ferruccio though

[@wiliamheadwoods]

Great video as always, looks like on that TIC it has a hot spot and cold spot tracker on it same as we use at my work ours look very similar just bigger, the red cross hair being the hot sport tracker that’s what you see bouncing around on the screen as it locks on to the hottest part it can find and the green cross hair being the cold spot tracker, trigger on the back is possibly for a laser as well and in the settings, should be able to switch between just looking for cold spots or just looking for hot spots on the tracking system

So great to see the David Brown wanting to live & work again, just love the nice sound to the engine, nice to be out in the air in the drivers seat, in a dry day 😃 Nice to be away from computers interfering, bleeping or flashing & go back & have everything manual & levers& rods to operate functions on a fun day , definitely worth spending some money on it, & it’s another machine saved, well done 👍👍👍 Who is doing all the superb camera work on this video whilst you are driving ???😊👍👍

Now that it’s running you need to have some fun. And find a kid that thinks they’re a good operator. And have them try some grading with it.
