Case 310 Dozer Resurrection Part 1: Tracks Are Free

[@danmcgowan8563]

Coming along, Cool that you have her back. Great Grandpa is probably very proud of both of You!

[@loganbeedy5950]

The silver bullet dragging the crawler around the yard looked like a big brother with his little brother tagging along

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

More like a mother dragging around a stubborn kid at this point.

[@CalumRaasay]

Thant little thing is beautiful! Can't wait to see it running.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Thanks! Can’t believe you’re here. Been watching your channel for a long time. Loved your videos on the TourneauTrains.

[@CalumRaasay]

@@Oliver66FarmBoy haha thank you, I just can never resist old tractors and engines!

[@DonWelter]

Your Dad's enthusiasm was definitely apparent!!! I can only imagine the celebration when it starts and drives on its own.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

It’s gonna be a good day.

[@roadhogg1418]

Sittin can get a little guy all stoved up. Just need a little encouragement Farm Boy!!

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Itle wake up soon.

[@marcbeebe]

Even without the family history that's such a cute little dozer it's worth the effort.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Yep

[@davidkimmel5153]

Great though on the way to get the tracks moving. 👍

[@KCIREDERF10]

Good progress. The joy is evident in your Dad's face and your voice. Thanks for the update Ethan. Take care. Fred.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

He’s excited

[@clinthochrein888]

That is a neat dozer, always love the color scheme reminds me of a couple case tractors we had on the family dairy farm.

Your dad is a do it all genius. Enjoyed this video. You were taught many things from him for sure.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Yea.

[@michaelsheeder148]

Ethan, that's a good accomplishment tracks freed up is a pretty good accomplishment for now. Thanks Michael

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Thanks

[@davidkimmel5153]

That is a good name for crawler.

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

That's awesome! I wouldn't have been able to wait very long to start working on it either 😃

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Hopefully it will be in the shop soon.

[@SambiniK22]

Maybe speed up the video in obvious repeat/duplicate operations? Maybe an 8 minute vid to show us this? Love it otherwise!

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

@@SambiniK22no. You don’t like it the way it is don’t watch. Simple solution. There’s a scroll function for a reason…

[@oliversorensen5178]

Great new project

[@michaeljones7233]

Awesome job guys love to see that brought back to life

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Thanks.

[@geraldharkness8830]

Great to see you guys bringing the little fella back to life i beleive he will be going soon

[@mathiggins4264]

Wow that is cool guys be safe out there your buddy from Nebraska

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Thanks.

[@larrydurdan]

this is getting exciting.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Yep

[@dennislamers986]

Kinda figured you guys couldn't just let it sit threr. Great step by step video. Can't wait for the next one.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Thanks.

[@stephenheyes4324]

Great to see that you got the tracks turning relatively easily

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Went faster than I thought it would.

[@tomnichols8084]

Lucas makes a red spray grease in a can.................I've been amazed how well in penetrates,..................maybe something like that on the tracks might help,..

[@tomnichols8084]

Also ATF and acetone seems to be very effective at penetrating rusty motors

[@JTHAYERrocks]

Awesome job. Looking forward to the next step.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Thanks.

[@michaelwood5327]

I used diesel & motor oil for things like this.

[@Scottinqc]

good to see the tracks werent stuck "that bad"..... coulda been a whole lot more work to get them moving. Having it "mobile" will make getting it into the shop a hell of a lot easier

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

We were impressed how fast they came loose.

[@LynnKorte-ve4qf]

I helped a guy do the same and he got a barrel of water and a gas engine pump and soaked them down and kept dragging it ,the high volume water flooded the links and broke them loose quite well ,it didn't take to long using high volumes of water and pulling it the same time,,the rust powder just washed out of the pivot joints,baby steps will pay off bring it back

[@tca375]

Good deal.

[@doolittlegeorge]

I think they have *"clutches"* if you pull off the rear sprockets which can become stuck by being permanently engaged in some way why will go backwards not forwards as usually only one gear for reverse as opposed to more than one for forward. Definitely agree with the diesel fuel and grease gun comment therefore. Very robust machine once fully running can be used for just about anything and in any weather as well.

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Enjoyed your video thats fun free it up. This will be running soon. Hope don't break things. Have a good day.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Thanks

[@danareynolds1976]

It's nice seen the tracks starting to move buddy

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Yep

[@ChrisChenoweth]

Damn right you do

[@EmporerBlock]

those tracks will free right up if you put power to them from the dozer's engine.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Have to be free enough for the dozer to have enough power to turn them first.

[@clinkerclint]

Watching this reminds me of tying an 1100lb show steer to a 600lb donkey. If the donkey doesn't want to go, she don't go!

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Sounds about right.

[@georgecostanza9387]

Cool little dozer kind of surprised that's it's gas instead of diesel. Not sure of the year I figured 60s based on the 30 series style hood

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

I wish it was diesel.

[@fruitfarmfords8243]

I tried to free up a 5ft, 3-point disc by dragging it on the road once when i was younger. It turns out hot asphalt is no match for steel blades and an 8Ns horsepower... like a hot spoon through ice-cream.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Hopefully not in a place the county could track it back to your farm. Lol

[@jamesbreault5762]

Pretty kool old dizer

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Thanks

[@jerrymurphy6673]

Keep up the good work like how yall got tracks unstuck thanks

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Thanks.

[@davidvogel2592]

It took a little persuasion but the tracks turn. Its a start

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Yep

[@geesss8675]

You should try a more effective track lubricant. Plenty of great homemade rust busting lubricants

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

ATF and diesel works just fine.

[@45Deere9500]

Awesome! Will be fun to watch the restoration. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Thanks for watching

[@anthonybrooks861]

That little dozer is just great not see one before what is the Horse power from uk

No idea. Illinois people things.

Have you done anything or have an update on the 2-105

[@richardmead9225]

Old farm junk turns the engines over by turning the engine through the PTO.

[@tonyjones9715]

👏👏🇺🇸

[@garywaxler7866]

What's your ratio on the WD-40 & ATF mixture?

[@LynnKorte-ve4qf]

After using water ,he never had to do it again after getting them free,,there was water rusted stained rock on his driveway for the longest time ,I see you have a extra pile of rock to cover all that's needed ,he didn't

[@ronlarson2561]

How big is the engine horsepower wise

[@rustyrelicsfarm2406]

42 Engine Horsepower to the engine on the crawler.

[@mitchumjohnson3732]

Try get to run

[@lawrencekiel-sr2772]

Learning to walk again, or maybe learning how to (crawl) again. I grew up on cletracs.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

It needs a cletrac for a friend.
