It STILL won't start. Let's find out WHY! (Quick SHOP Tour) ~ Day 2 ~ 1965 Allis Chalmers 645 Loader

Check out PART 1 of rescuing this Old Loader HERE:
• Allis Chalmers 645 Whe...
Today the plan is to dive DEEP into the fuel system and see why we aren't getting fuel to the injectors!
We'll completely disassemble the 6 cylinder Stanadyne Injection pump, and see what is going on inside of it! This isn't a rebuild, as much as it's a cleaning and inspection of the pump to see if we can get it running without spending any money on it!
Then I'll give you a quick tour of Salvage Workshop, and you can see where it ALL began! A LOT has changed in the shop!
~
This old loader is a 1965 Allis Chalmers TL645 Wheel Loader with an Allis Chalmers 3500 turbo charged 6 cylinder diesel engine. It has an Allison automatic transmission, and can reach speeds of 21MPH going forward! It is articulated and can make VERY tight turns, making it very nimble in tight places. It weighs about 26000 lbs or so, and it's a PERFECT sized machine for all the random things I do!
Join me on this journey as we work together to figure out what it's going to take to get this machine back up and running once again! This will be a daily account of the process showing a bit more of what is takes to properly bring this old beast back to life and make it usable once again!
This machine should be a LOT of fun!
~
Thanks as always for watching and following along with all my crazy adventures here on Salvage Workshop, I TRULY appreciate it!
Please enjoy! I know I did!

dude your combination of an amazingly wide skill set coupled with your positive attitude & ability to teach makes your channel without a doubt one of the very best on here.

[@SalvageWorkshop]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support, Larry!

[@anthonyladuca8165]

for the glheel skidd stear do go on Amazon for handbook no matter what I'm looking forward to your videos bring happiness

[@bobspring6723]

Class act!

[@switchback0123]

Incredible ....,

[@SchnelleKat]

Talk about ONE MASSIVE Strategicly organized shop!

[@SalvageWorkshop]

Thank you Kyle! A LOT of thought and time has gone into it, but i truly enjoy the space!

[@SchnelleKat]

@@SalvageWorkshop Agreed! Love it, man. I can't believe how small from the outside it looks. Fantastic job. Lovin' the machinery resurection vids!

[@RODALCO2007]

I learnt a lot on diesel fuel pumps today. Your detailed video's are awesome. Keep up the great work. Thanks. Your workshop is fantastic.

[@peterkohl1863]

for a guy who says he does not know much you sure know a whole lot. very detailed analysis, thank you I am also learning fro folks like you

[@liamfoxy]

I have never heard anything more joyous than owning a 'whole pack of Weimaraners'

[@ni_wink84]

He said let it rain, Mother Nature was like “alright, you asked for it!” Lol I’ve always wondered about how an injection pump works, this was a great video! I love watching you fix these old machines

[@walterwhitaker1395]

Awesome video! thanks for the hands on tutorial on injection pumps! I'm the kind of guy that can read all day about assemblies but until I see someone actually doing the work it just doesn't click with me!

[@incubatork]

You wet my appetite with the short shop tour, an in depth would be great.

[@Mtbslacker]

You definitely ain't scared. I've been a diesel mechanic for nearly 30 yrs and wouldn't dream of tackling an injection pump rebuild. Typically I don't have to cause fuel supply to the injection pump or out of the transfer pump is the problem 99.9999% of the time.

[@Dwendele]

I like how you video not only how it came apart in detail, but also separately showed the orientation of each piece. Makes reassembly MUCH easier!

[@SalvageWorkshop]

Ya the reassembly of complicated things is often left out... but it's just as, if not MORE important! Cus if you can't get it back together properly, it will NEVER work! Plus, I wanted to document the WHOLE thing in case I needed to watch the video to reassemble it!

[@railroad9000]

That injection pump is one complicated piece of machinery! Enjoy watching you work.

[@benclark5225]

I learned 100% more about diesel fuel injection pumpage than I did before I tuned in. Awesome to watch you work and it gives me inspiration to tackle my riding lawn mower. Keep it up!

[@alanwelch6594]

The reason that filter was so tight is that you turned it the wrong direction.

[@TechGorilla1987]

I thought you were kidding, but nope - 5:24. I think that in Japan, a job interview includes having to enter a tube full of fasteners and being able to remove them even being upside down. It can be disorienting.

[@GunnerAsch1]

Sometimes its best to tighten an oil filter a 1/8 - 1/4 turn to crush the gasket and break the seal, then remove normally. Contrary plumbing fittings too.

[@TheDistur]

Oh damn.

[@patrickpigg4132]

Lefty loosy,righty tightly.

[@seanharkins1054]

Off the vehicle the rotation can be... Nope wrong direction

[@derechtest3v3]

Greetings to your Weimaraner from Weimar in Thuringia Germany.

[@ljashansen]

You are my favorite mechanical show. Depth of knowledge about all kinds of machinery is very impressive. I am watching all your videos.

[@Eremon1]

Hat's off to KZbinrs like this that not only have to struggle with the thing they're working on but also film it for all of us to watch. Cheers.

[@waltdog72080]

Can you please come organize my house.... Wow... Sweet. Good to see you back.

[@paulwatts3328]

Wow..just found you on the inter webs and your trouble shooting a injection pump, teardown and make work video. I can't believe my eyes, thank you for your vision and sharing your true skill..best I have found on you tube, a huge" if I can do it, you can do it " experience.

[@rudigerhasselmann3601]

You need the rain just as much as we do in Germany. You can really hear the water falling on the roof. It's just that torrential rains don't do anything. Because then the water cannot seep into the ground. On the other hand, it brings a cooling when working on the mas'chine. So wonderful refreshment.

[@super6954]

Nice job on the pump, and hope it pays off with a running motor, for just investing time. Hopefully those 2 umbrella seals went in right if the back one rolls forward it will let diesel run out of the pump and fill the timing case/ oil pan with fuel. There has been many motors destroyed when guys didn't Know they leaked and the oil was thinned way down. There is a proper tool to install them so they don't, Check it a few times when you get it running. As Hank over at Hamilton would say make sure it's not "Making oil" . I'd bet that blue fuel filters an AC Delco, not AC as in Allis Chalmers . Thanks for another interesting video, Take care.

[@notajp]

I’ve used a thin piece of plastic wrapped around the seal to hold it in the “closed” position during installation.

[@ralfie8801]

Don’t forget to squirt a liberal amount of ATF in the fuel inlet on that vane pump. That’s your mechanical fuel transfer pump that pulls fuel from the tank, through the filter(s) and into the injection pump. The ATF is to prime the vane pump with some sort of oil so it pulls a vacuum on the fuel suction line from the tank, which it won’t do if the vanes are left cleaned and dry.

[@SalvageWorkshop]

So the Injection pump IS the fuel pump? I wondered... I have the machine running beautifully now, but thought that someone deleted a mechanical or electric pump like they did the water separator.

[@ralfie8801]

@@SalvageWorkshop That is correct, it’s two pumps in one. Not knowing what the actual pressures are, just look at it as the vane pump is the low pressure side and that cage with all the plungers and check balls is the high pressure side.

[@alx001alx001]

Best comment!!!

[@walterrobbins4470]

Working on equipment is a rainy day project so that worked out well

[@CraftedChannel]

Your shop is looking great! Still stuffed but you have room to work and access.

[@dale5898]

You deserve a larger shop. All in good time I guess. It is so nice to see you young people saving our mechanical heritage.

[@VincentGroenewold]

Never seen the workshop, but what a beauty!

[@r3ngokuking]

ahhh, the soothing squeal of a bone-dry fuel filter gasket. Several companies make 3-legged claw that fits on a 1/2" drive. Use one from Matco every day and it's a great tool to have. Only ran me about $35 too. Major life saver for stuck filters.

[@jongerber3476]

Very nice shop. Beautiful dogs too. Thanks for sharing

[@curtfreeman7066]

I’m lusting after your workshop…

[@JoE_Songs]

10:03 God, I love this kind of rain in the countryside...

[@SalvageWorkshop]

me too!

[@andykillsu]

One minor thing, the wrench size you use to remove a hex bolt is not the same size as the bolt size. So you mentioned a “9/16” bolt”, that really is a 3/8” bolt.

[@SalvageWorkshop]

Ya I see where you're coming from, but its a reference to the wrench I needed to remove it... Size of the bolt doesn't matter when removing them and reinstalling them, only the size of the wrench you need matters for that!

[@andykillsu]

@@SalvageWorkshop Yeah I assumed so that is what you meant.

[@douglasbrown8175]

Loved this video ,finally got to see how one of those pumps is put together, you're very good at explaining how things work and get assembled. thanks!

[@RippenSXS]

I hope these day by day update vids are doing good cause I like them.

[@toddfraisure1747]

Don't you just love it when fixing a mechanism just involves cleaning it up?

[@greentree180]

What can I say. Beard looks great. Love the hounds. I am pleased shop number 2 is on the way. Oh and nice work with the pump.

[@Lnmwr]

I was waiting anxiously for this next installment, and now am waiting anxiously for the next installment! Thanks, Matt!

[@Dave-1277]

It was going to be a typical Monday until i saw a new Salvage Workshop video on KZbin, now Monday has been made much better! Fantastic vid as always!

[@lottiecooper609]

Most of the time your quite serious, but when you said that about it running, I started to laugh!! Thanks for that my friend!! Have a great day!!!

[@SalvageWorkshop]

Yeah I have a bit of a dry sense of humor! Doesn't always come across in the videos, but I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@eriksimmons4864]

Awesome video, great job of explaining and detailing the operation of the pump.

[@eloleddie]

Happy to hear that you have not given up on “Big Red”. Then I will just need to be patient and keep watching for it. Now, remember that I am 82, so please do not wait too long. And thanks for your interesting videos!

[@GiantRiderRob]

Shop looks great man, really dig the new setup for sure. Huge ton of work re-organizing I can tell. Great vid on the teardown, what a crazy complex thing. Can't wait for Ep3.

[@richball9576]

Great job on the pump and your shop is absolutely amazing!!! Keep the videos coming!

[@OcotilloTom]

That rain sounds nice, I live in Phoenix, Arizona where we are 110 degrees (f) and no measurable rain in nearly a year.

[@RobertL78]

This is one of the best Stanadyne Roosamaster overhaul videos put on KZbin. Awesome job.

[@norked8184]

Nice job. Really enjoy your content. Lets call him "Big Al"

[@avrel820]

Amazing job on the pump. And happy to see your workshop :-)

[@leonardwalters154]

Wow, you've done alot to the shop,still love seeing your pups

[@davidkimmel4216]

I admire your work. You make it look so easy working on the injection pump. Thank You 😊

[@bjarnevarme9830]

It’s really impressive to see you take the pump apart and then get it together again. 😊

[@railroadman57]

Fantastic video I always look forward to watching your activity. Thank you so much 😊

[@stuartkarshagen6274]

Wow, the shop looks great, much more space for activities 🤙🏻

[@Redman-74]

cool workshop mate.Good to see a man that ain't afraid to swing spanners on a old machine.

[@michaelmoran6861]

Great workshop and ideal for the rebuild. Nice to see your lovely dogs again.

[@beast64375]

Ah, the ubiquitous stanadyne pump. "Simple" and found nearly everywhere on older equipment. Only need a DB4 or DB2 rebuild kit typically, in that case its a DB4 since it has a electric shutoff. They're like $50 most places.

[@smokeybailey3080]

Where can you buy the kits

[@alexwolf9778]

A big shop tour video would be great. Thanks for all the video’s

[@phillipdickinson8557]

That was a super video enjoyed it love the explanations of what is going on that is why I watch your videos thank you for taking us along.

[@rwagjr]

I am always amazed at the fearlessness of this young man. I have no doubt he'd take on a broken Swiss watch, or get a nuclear power plant back up & running! It's impressive and encouraging to all who watch. Bless your heart from Jerusalem. ב"הש

[@SalvageWorkshop]

Swiss Watch, yes... Nuclear power plant, maybe... not sure they would let me bring that back to my shop to repair! LOL I truly appreciate your compliments Robert! Thank you for your support! I just want to say that you live in one of the most beautiful countries I've ever been to! The history in Jerusalem itself is incredible! Thanks for the support from all the way over there!

[@nena4215]

Hey Matt, I remember watching you rebuild your shark air compressor, yup, your shop sure has changed since then! So happy your channel has grown by 200,000!!! Did you just get tired of shaving?

[@SalvageWorkshop]

Thank you my friend! Ya I hated shaving, plus I wanted to see what kind of beard I could grow! Still figuring it out, but so far so good!

[@R.Sole88109]

It's might fine fanny tickler you grew.😂 I hope your channel keeps growing like your beard.👍🏻

I like the riser on your vice, I'll have to make one of them. Nice shop.

[@richardbrobeck2384]

Nice Shop !

[@RANDALLOLOGY]

No wonder diesel mechanic 's charge so much. It's not complicated but is very time consuming. I learned a lot about that style of pump.👍👍

[@michaelarmand1980]

Compared to other channel shops yours is amazing clean and organized. Even your work bench was not all gritty and oily. Good job on the pump.

[@JSxxxxxxx]

That was so satisfying to watch - nice job 👍🇦🇺

[@jonathontaylor8861]

Nice, it was interesting to see the innards of the injection pump.

[@robertironside3166]

Gotta like how accessible the engine compartment is on this particular loader. Very cool old girl this one :-)

Fair play mate that was really interesting what was interesting for me was such a big machine having such small intricate parts and without them the machine doesn’t work!!!✌️❤️ from 🇬🇧

[@tool717]

Awesome work shop man 👍👍👍

[@stephenswift9868]

Nice shop set up, plenty space to move around in or fill up with new toys! Handsome dogs also, I was unaware of the darker colour way of Weimaraner good looking dog.

[@arthurbiringer5676]

Great video.

[@richardlyons7582]

Great way to do a strip down. saying where each piece is located and which way round and information how it works. Rebuilds are not alway done the same day as awaiting parts which could take weeks these days and assembly can easily be forgotten. Great informational video for history Matt, well done.

[@smokeybailey3080]

Man that was informative thanks I have an ac loader with the same pump I did get it rebuilt it had a crack in the part that turns but I’ve never seen one taken apart I think most people don’t want to show it thanks again I’ll be watching

[@paulrose3542]

I’m so jealous of your shop, as a retired fitter engineer, I would love to spend a few hours messing with all those tools and machines.
