Recovery mission of a John Deere 455E track loader

[@alcopower5710]

Would love to see a part 2 getting that machine running. 👍

[@richardjack1848]

Let's get this old girl running again! I'm excited to watch the video of her revival!

[@chucksinger1916]

Great job boys! Especially good ol Dad! LOL

[@michaelemanuels5250]

I like that gooseneck trailer that they have.

[@innertubemac]

Great video 👍 soak the engine in “mystery fluid” and see if it unlocks , and you get it running . It would be good video to watch 😀 . If the engine is going to be scraped would be good to see it taken apart to see what’s wrecked inside . Your videos are always new and interesting . Thank you

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Yep for sure

[@SuperIanjohnson]

Nice video, Clint. I would love to see you guys bring her back to life. You can't beat the old iron !!

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

For sure

[@Crewsy]

Kevin @5:42 "It's a lot like Deliverance here." I got the same vibe. If you hear a banjo, RUN!

[@cornwasher]

I admire that trailer used to haul the loader. First class for sure.

[@glennjukes5581]

Your Dad is still a worker--no fooling around when a job needs to be done. Right on time! with the backhoe load..

[@AkAv8er]

I suspect you would also like to see this machine brought back to life for reasons other than profit. Old machinery, motorcycles, cars, pickups coming back to life has a special satisfaction not everyone understands. This looks like a multi-part project that would be great to watch. If you eventually make a happy dollar, all the better! 🚜

[@437thx1138]

Nice how you kicked those rocks off the trailer. Windshield breakers, good job. That backhoes is a beast

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@michaelchaney7881]

You're dad's one hell of an operator

[@reedburke7762]

Let’s get it running and painted up! Can’t wait to see the transition! It will definitely make someone a nice little loader, Keep up the great videos Clint, love them!

[@deanchapman6425]

Another one that needs some tender loving care.❤❤❤❤

[@sudd2685]

I really like this channel, Clint’s a class act, a great family man, humble, no bad language, thank you for your videos, going to buy me a hoodie.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Much appreciated

[@tommybritton9273]

The green Ford utility body sounds awsome going down the road Clint 👍👍

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@Bediasman]

Really glad I found your channel. Looking forward to your team fixing this one. Thanks

[@jcmathisiii6432]

You need to call "The Tractor Man " in Douglasville Ga for parts on that 455E. I got a complete brand new transmission for it.

[@rogerferris3720]

Got to get it running, the old machines are the best.

[@royceabbottsexcavation3709]

Definitely fix it up. Save them older buckets.

[@jcmathisiii6432]

Those lil Deere's were awesome tractors. Would run forever.

[@zstation64]

You guys are a pleasure to watch, really bring a smile to my face.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@Peter89133]

Looking forward to seeing how you are going to unlock that engine.

[@Aerospace_EdC]

Clint, love your videos. Lots of variety from working on the auction equipment, building a camper, rebuilding Dirt Perfect's trailer and now resurrecting a "it ran when it was parked 10 years ago track loader". I know you guys will get it going. This one almost was a "will it start" video lol.

[@Aerospace_EdC]

To add .... C&C Trailer ---- Out of business lol

[@jeffclark3558]

From what the video shows, your Dad is wide open!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Always

[@danielpullum1907]

A very efficient operation for you Ole Southern Indiana Boys!!!!!~ LOL

[@marksaunders2500]

Hi from uk guys 👋👍 clint, kevin and dad got this loaded without a problem and hope dads liability up to date as 6:15 liability claim 🕵😂😂 cant believe you guys got us again 😂 great stuff tho guys 👌 cant wait to see outcome of her and I love the sound of your service truck and trailer haulers engine brake 👍 thanks for your time guys be safe and see you soon👍👋

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@n7565j]

Excellent video, but you be nice to your daddy!!! I think of my father everyday, and would give anything and everything for one more chance to tell him how much I appreciate everything he did for us!!! Take care Mr C&C!!!

[@jimlisterman7703]

Trailer looks BRAND NEW ! Agree with "innertubemac" about mystery fluid. Personally just used two quarts Marvel Mystery Oil soaking motorcycle fuel tank on 1981 Honda 750K . It's been sitting unused for past eleven years. Fuel that I pumped out of the tank was green !!!! Talk about OLD & PUTRID. Marvel Mystery Oil = GREAT STUFF. JimInCincy

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@keithcarter4086]

Of course we want to see you get it going!

[@rp1645]

Thank you for trying to save her. Meany a old times with the 450-C JD. By my home growing up, the sewer main line guys always had a 450 JD with the backhoe on back. NO hoepack's They would use them on backfill. They had the Backhoe on rear, just not use it. Lots of jobs around my home they used crawler Loader's for backfill. And running Pea gravel. I did lots of mainline sewers through easement. No road built yet. So to muddy for wheel loader use. The Front Loader that was the Fastest for running those long runs for Pea gravel was the old CASE 850-B we had. That Loader with the power track ( high forward on one lever low back on other lever) the job supervisor liked the speed of Case track loaders. We had International's 125s no CATS, the company RENTED lots of machine from CASE.

[@dansevern3291]

I'm just happy to see I'm not the only one in the country who still has lever-type boomers.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Lol

[@lesr5737]

Thanks Clint I love the video can't wait to take on this project with you your videos there's never a dull moment. I'm a retired Excavating contractor my favorite machine is that for 10 rubber-tired backhoe I always considered mine like a Swiss Army knife there is nothing cannot do it might take longer and it might not be the easiest way . but you can count on getting it done. Skilled operator of a TLB are thing of the past, your dad made it look so easy. I retired in 2017 and I very much enjoy your and DP videos it's like working again which I enjoyed very much thanks all )-[@#=]

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@billdiven5826]

DADs are awsom knolage is power,glad to see you never frogot your mentor.Pass this to the next generation.LOVE THE VIDIOS!

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@JohnStevenson-h9c]

I love the sound of those pickups😄😄😄

[@localcrew]

My homeboy Larry has had a 450C for years. Without any warning one of the connecting rods tried to escape through the engine block. He bought another one for the engine and ended up fixing up the second one instead. They’re very versatile and easy to transport. If you get this one running and put serviceable undercarriage on it you should have no trouble selling it - especially with the 4 in 1 bucket. Keep us posted. 👍

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Will do

[@troyboy6169]

I'm the type of guy who likes to work on old stuff and get see if it will run. The things I work on are a lot smaller and cheaper. Hope you can get it running and, if not, you always can part it out. Always enjoy your videos.

[@wallacejeffery5786]

Wow, y’all loaded that puppy up quick

[@MySynthDungeon]

Friday night ,,,2 pints in ,,Enjoying ,,Cheers!!;-)!!!

[@jarmstrong2843]

I agree with another post that maybe you should try some Marvel Mystery Oil and put into each cylinder and let sit for a couple of days. I helped a friend a few years ago load the exact model of loader and its engine was locked up tighter than a kid who ate a jar of peanut butter. It took a few hits with the starter and the engine eventually broke loose and started. It has been running ever since. There is something definitely good about mystery oil since I have seen people do some wacky things over the years with it to get engines running again. It’s worth a try and may save a lot of time, labor and expense of parts.

[@brandonnelson3578]

Vintage iron deserves a second life, looking forward to future videos! Stay safe boys!

[@latisimusd]

Hopefully that engine lockup is simply fluid in the cylinder and nothing bent. You guys work great as a team - "not your first rodeo". Looks like fun for all us watchers. Thanks for sharing!

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks for watching

[@RustyNail5856]

Nice video, Clint. can't wait to see her fire up and loading dirt. i wish i came across a track loader like that in my area. that would be nice, great video guy's.

[@explorationuk6737]

She be a little jem you have there ( money pit) jem same thing lol ..can't wait to see this old girl run again ..Great work as always guys .. Peace n love from Cumbria UK 🇬🇧 ❤

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks for watching

[@danyarbrough7847]

Looks worth pursuing and if it makes sense to fix it. Can always use a project if the shop is slow.

[@tomasrom9073]

Please bring it back to life, what a gem

[@Wood.Water.Camping]

That went awfully smooth loading that up. But I guess you guys are professionals 😆. Another awesome video and of course we want to see it run

[@gandjboyd7872]

It would be cool to see this restored , it always interesting to see the process but then I'm not the one paying for it. thanks for the video

[@tracyeaves1084]

Good luck on fixing the loader

[@ROGE444]

I love to see a video with repairs, paint and getting the 455E ready to sell.

[@cdouglas1942]

Stuck motor is a key challenge but more than once clever guys have got such rigs running. Until that is resolved seems like its just a pile of yellow iron. Love to see it run!

[@mr.homelite8490]

Let's see the old girl brought to life

[@RichardHeadGaming]

Nice when you find flippers or parts right i your back yard.

[@f250ford2004]

A JD 450 shovel dozer is what I learned on back in the 60s

[@thomasbailey8306]

Thats a shame that old girl is locked up. It would be nice to get her running again. But if its going to be Expensive its probably not worth it. Your Dad reminds me of mine. Go Go Go...LOL..Great Video Clint..

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Lol Right

[@john-gilbert]

Looking forward to a "will it start" episode in the future!

[@jdub229r]

I’d enjoy watching you getting going & doing a quickie budget restoration.

[@eavesstreet6307]

You guys got a dream job if you would even call it a job.

[@williammatthews2948]

It's a good thing the tracks weren't frozen up too.

[@slytrader]

Nice looking old John Deere 455E. I would like to see you fix it up and get it running again. I understand can't put more into it than it's worth. Make somebody a nice machine around the farm.

[@stephenlehr6020]

Nice little machine, I say getting it going again, just so we can see the video....🤣😁 I think I need to come back to this video to see what Officer Hoover comments.....🤣🤣 Enjoyed the video as usual!!

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@rickfrancis5598]

o ya get er runnin shes a oldie goldie

[@CaptainKleeman]

That's about the perfect size machine for a fella with 20 acres of hill country and a concrete boat

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Hmm Maybe you need a good project 😁

[@bobbydawson7706]

Enjoyed the vedio and watching the old Dozier being recovered 👌

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@terryroberson8851]

Your father is a very good operator

[@Silverhornet81]

Love the old equipment vids. The quest to start, the recovery, the rebuild, and when it starts.. success!!

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@Camera1931-p5v]

Cosmetically it looks nice! Not as nice as my 1984 450D with a 6 way but nice! LOL I bet when you get done with it ,it will look a lot better than mine! Nice job!

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

time will tell

[@Silverhornet81]

C&C will get it running and have it looking purty.

[@jeffhitchcock3368]

Thanks for bringing us along

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks for watching

[@koda8643]

Oh it’s gonna look good after your done with it. Everything y’all has redone already looked amazing.

[@smjhobbies4527]

It ran when I parked it there, famous words of a BS story LOL. Sometimes there truthful though I haven't watched the video yet but I'm sure you're going to tell us as you're really good with that stuff Clint. Your damn good mechanic and so love you Dad and just how he is he reminds me a lot of my grandfather

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@tomwainwright7102]

May I say that you people certainly do know what you are doing, one other thought Clint, if DP Recovery Services see this, they`ll know that they definitely have serious competion

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

😁😂

[@bobpatrick7152]

nice job in moving the 1978 455E

[@thomasdesmond2248]

Your dad beating us up. Lol God bless

[@dennisdelk4298]

Bring it back to life if you can. It would make a great video

[@MrGhostLt]

Another project you can never get enough of them :P I have alot of project to and its good to have a few. Think i saw another video on the channel but think it was a 445G

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks I bet it was a 455g

[@railroadman57]

Nice video I would like to see you getting the old shovel dozer running I enjoy your content a lot .

[@thatdave86]

Them trucks sound cool 😎 Stages in life of a operator,young and cautious ,bit older and knows and overconfident,bit older and is experienced and calm and collected,much older had done everything,and very critical ,and still wants to be in control,but has no boundaries now and it's full on at all cost ,because they older and know best , and can't slow down for fear of losing the touch !that's just a observation of actions 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 Imagine the rebuttal if the camera got smoked 😜

[@schneiderexc3557]

That service truck sounds good!

[@rockeerockey6941]

I like that you chained it to the hard points & not the tracks! Excellent

[@marktalbert2939]

Great video Clint. Everybody likes them old equipment ,they don’t build like they used too. When you put your magic touch on going to look like new. I enjoy watching your videos they very educational on heavy equipment

[@chuckjohnson8407]

That 450 would look good cleaned up and painted OD green.

[@seansysig]

Common Clint bring her back to life.

[@briansponenberg2341]

Like to see it running , but locked up is a game changer

[@dansbrown1313]

Another demonstration of the C&C precision team at work! at the 14:08 time stamp, Kevin dropped a 10' chain in the grass. With the hectic pace, I wondered if he picked it up before you left? He probably did but I wondered. Thanks Clinton for another fun video.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

We got it I believe

[@spencerrobinson2794]

Yeah, I didn’t see anyone get it…either

[@billbyrnes9505]

Who you gonna call, " Letsdig18, " he likes putting money in old equipment. 😁😁😁😁😁👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@TomJones-zm3kz]

Lets see her going!

[@johnkeets8333]

Great video love to see running again got to look after the older machines.

[@rugerfarming5387]

Thanks Clinton i love the track loader videos.

[@voiceoftheclan8087]

C&C Calvery on the way, you go team Clint, briliant video keep up the good work sir.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@christianshockey4422]

You get that too come to life , I would be interested in purchasing it !!!

[@gmcjimmy3580]

I'd love to see the old girl run again.

[@derrickpettit3489]

Yeah we wanna see it goin Clint haha, mechanicing videos coming hopefully, thanks for sharing

[@Craigd68]

Definitely want videos of all the repairs and want to see it run because it's Definitely in the best hands.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@johngarran7173]

That was a fine machine when it was first put into service. Good luck putting it back in working condition.

[@chrisburress9747]

Brought back a lot of memories my uncle had a JD350 or JD450 on his farm when I was a kid. Would love to see her running again

[@kevinkenyon7045]

Clint great video you guys don’t waste anytime! Just don’t get in your dad’s way,he’s old school an a hard worker! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Yep

[@dennisrickey21]

Excellent video Clint!! Two thoughts, I like the idea of getting the engine running and maybe some other minor repairs before selling "as is". Seems like it would be a good project machine for someone who has the skills and time to put the finishing touches on it. My second thought would be to have a local school take it on as a repair/restore project. Could help some choose a career in mechanics or other related field. Please keep the videos coming!!

[@jeffreykbevins7116]

Another great video !!! The track loader looks good . Hoping that you can get it going without doing an engine swap, maybe you might get lucky again . It probably has the same motor in it as my 1970 400 John Deere backhoe, that I have here on the farm . Looking forward to seeing you all working on it . Be careful and stay safe and keep on making us more videos. As always, Jeffrey !!!

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@andysukosd8177]

Great video guys, great recovery. Enjoyed this one very much, Thank you !
