Frank Bought a Dozer!!! | Picking up an Allis Chalmers HD16

[@scpvrr]

I really like that you and Matt have done so many of these that you work like a smooth team. Friendships like that don’t come often. You both are greatly blessed.

[@LRCVWDude]

You're not wrong on the friendship part: those come along once in a lifetime.

[@ScrappyIndustries]

Thank you and there is no doubt about it!

[@dans_Learning_Curve]

Yes!!

[@steveperyer4850]

A Sam and Matt Adventure always gets my weekend started off great! Thanks for letting us enjoy the ride😊

[@LRCVWDude]

Sam and Matt's Adventures: the latest episodic game series from Telltale Games 😂

[@roslynweidemann9487]

I love your channel Sam, you keep my Dad's memory alive ❤️. Dad was a diesel/petrol mechanic, and in 1965, he bought his first dozer it was a red international, and from then on he had 2 caterpillar scrapers, a D4 and D7 caterpillar. My God he worked very hard, made a lot of money, just to have his life cut short at 54 years old from Melanoma. If he was alive today he'd be watching your channel Sam

[@jaygraham5407]

Sam is keeping his Grandpa's memory alive!!!

[@billdornan4379]

🙏🏻🇨🇦

[@AlMeans]

You two are both cool. You and Matt, I mean. He got a new forklift today and demonstrated his lack of understanding about a gas/propane engine horribly (he knew exactly what he was doing). You, Sam, never fail to put a smile on my face with your cheerful and helpful attitude. So, thanks!

[@frankmayer559]

I can‘t remember buying that, but thank you for transporting it…

[@alanrouse7285]

That's called CRS (can't remember shit) but in this case it would include can't remember shit I bought.😄

[@kgsstudiosfineart]

I drove 18 wheelers 40 years ago and it's great seeing people who know what they are doing and care. Sam and Matt are my go-to folks!

[@jamesspencer9091]

That sure is a sharp looking Old Ford. I always enjoy watching you and Matt hang out

[@billwilliams9527]

Enjoy your back forth comments, gives me a chuckle. The soul of your channels is in the fixin'.

[@MrPhotodoc]

Always fun when those two get together. Thanks for the ride in the truck but there's nothing like being there.

[@christaylor6617]

Straight from Matt's workshop working on the forklift, now over to you Sam. Nice❤

[@peteraitken6494]

Great job Sam and Matt saving another great piece of history 👍👌🐾🐾🦴🦴🔧🔧🔧❤️

[@austinsibley3692]

I have one of these old hd 16's. Love the old girl shes a power house for her age. She still gets worked regularly clearing land and pushing piles . Only down side is mine is just direct drive so when shes in gear shes in gear lol. Congrats on the new toy. I moved mine home on a float behind my tandem axle r model mack lol

[@Machines.In.Action]

That Allis Chalmers HD16 is a beast! 💪

[@Randys_Relics]

Good to see some of the "right" shade of yellow!!! Looks like it has good bones! Just needs some love! 👍

[@rw3dog]

What a cool haul. Frank is lucky to have you guys in his life. Nice work guys….

[@r1mein54]

Sam and Matt adventures are always a joy to watch.

[@briananderson1781]

Since you guys are around old machines......one of my fondest memories was in the late 1960's going to a local saw mill to pick up lumber for the farm. There were Taylor brand fork lifts which appeared to be a truck chassis (20 inch wheels) with a mast near the rear axle and an additional transmission which reversed all the drive train functions. The seat, controls etc were also reversed which made a simple inexpensive but heavy duty fork lift. Don't see any of these any more and can't believe all these were scrapped......

[@danbenson5319]

TAYLOR made great fork lifts. They are still building them from little warehouse size to huge machines that require several trucks to move. Taylor also is producing articulated loaders .

[@markpashia7067]

Anything like the Taylor that C&C Equipment has on their channel?

[@danbenson5319]

@markpashia7067 Same company, same models. It was always easy to spot a Taylor fork lift because they looked the same for at least 60 years.

[@josephcizek7030]

You and Matt are like Twin Brothers From Different Mothers! My wife and I both enjoy watching you, and when the grandkids are here they keep asking me if you two have a new video out. So keep up the good work and God Bless both of you and your families.

[@RJ1999x]

Allis Chalmers 👍👍👍 Ford LTL👍👍👍 Allis Chalmers had torque converter before Cat

[@matthewcox1122]

That truck looks so right on a overcast day paint just deep and moody 😍

[@mecman3573]

Love what you both do, and see your country, best wishes from the uk.

[@bobcrosby8998]

Love watching you and Matt on your adventures. Reminds me of my buddy and I in our younger days doing the same thing.

[@stevenpoff6273]

Hey Sam & Matt the Dynamic Duo together again.🙂😀😃👍✨

[@billhurst178]

I’ve had really good experiences with the K&W fiber lock sealer. For the price it’s worth a shot. Everything I’ve used it in has stayed sealed up

[@trevorwenzel2428]

I loved the trees on your way home fall leaves and all.

[@noahheine6148]

Had the same unit out here in outback Australia we call him Bruce was a wonderful machine never let us down we had a stick rack and a blade can’t rate them enough

[@walterwhitaker1395]

Good Video! The blow by isn't bad until the oil cap works like the flapper on the exhaust! 😉

[@rintin1874]

Great video, Sam, watching from Edinburgh Scotland UK 🇬🇧

[@stevea9604]

Love looking thru those old homes & towns 👌🏻🧐👍🏻

[@NewcastleMatt]

Never seen an attack chopper hanging out in the middle of a town before!

[@SteamCrane]

I know of several at various VFWs. Personally, I'd rather have an M60.

[@dougi6109]

Midland PA.

[@lordcaptainvonthrust3rd]

Brilliant to see two friends tackling the job together 👍 Thanks guys Hope about we watch you both do a tear down and rebuild on that engine 🙏

[@barrygrant2907]

"It's so bad it isn't bad anymore." Classic Matt humor.

[@matrixis]

That worked far too well, suprised you didn't refuse to buy it as it was in too good condition!

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

Enjoyed the drive home. Gorgeous foliage. 👍👍👍

[@davidvictorsen]

Great seeing some of the American country side.Cheers from Australia.

[@davidkettell1073]

Between Ohio and Pennsylvania you are seeing some of the best . Maybe not as grand as the mountains but we have trees . Add in West Virginia and as you see from the video some tired old coal towns .

[@billtodd6509]

You guys went right by our garage(b4 the Fairgrounds) in Hookstown. We had some of those same dozers in the Engineers in USMC.

[@SeanMacLennan]

I like that the dog was the star of the show!

[@ScrappyIndustries]

He was a good dog

[@robertsimmons3556]

You two are crazy, that's why I enjoy your tag team episodes!!! Great post!

[@chadlevingston8135]

Got to love them COD trucking jobs Cover Of Darkness 😂😂

[@markpashia7067]

And they only took out two mailboxes!

[@terryrogers1025]

Thanks for the ride along, enjoyed listening to the stories, that’s always entertaining, good looking dozer for its age.

[@southafrican2359]

Impeccable changes without left foot, Sam! Thanks for the ride-along.

[@kiblerfarms]

It is a fuel torque with a dry clutch. Pulling out stumps it would sit and idle with the converter locked in. Once you gave it rpm it would drive harder. I have seen stories where on cold days the fuel tank would steam once the fuel warmed up. Hope you guys can get the engine figured out.

[@ScrappyIndustries]

That’s neat

[@gradyyokeley9930]

Sam and Matt a word to the wise it will pay you to flush the steering clutch housing and transmission housing. The break bands has bronze in them and they will stop it from steering.

[@gradyyokeley9930]

That engine is worth fixing. There is a person in Ronoak VA that use to sell parts for them.

[@daveb7999]

Easy peasy, and a nice ride, thanks for bringing us along. Lets hope, for Frank's sake, that it's just a blown head gasket.

[@taurota1554]

Outstanding and awesome content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along.

[@alanenglish9681]

Nice to see the non event saves too! great work Sam and Matt.

[@johnlemmey7698]

Before you pull the heads off try a big hand full of Bran and black pepper in the radiator I had one of those old girls in the 80's. It had corroded passed the o rings on the liners. I would drain out a hole bucket of water from the sump and tip it back in the radiator. The bran would work well for a month. I used to work it with a spanner holding the oil filler open to let the steam escape. so don't worry about the blow by that is normal. Ps if replacing the motor. don't go for original. they are treble on fuel.Other wise a good machine to operate.

[@nicholasfrediani9466]

I used to work for a moving company and we picked someone's stuff up from that storage unit place right after the shippingsport plant, it was cool to see you drive past it for some reason lol.

[@clarencewiles963]

The grass is fine Thumbs up 👍 good job getting it home🍀

[@remiewatkins8032]

Good job Matt and Sam

[@DAKOTANSHELBY]

The wife and I drove right by that nuke plant after having shopped at the Fiesta Ware plant and retail outlet a couple of years ago. We were in central WV and headed to Cleveland, but the wife had to visit Fiesta Ware. I remembered those cooling towers well.

[@joshuamatheny3350]

Another Great Video By Scrappy Industries, Saturday Cartoons for adults.

[@nmccw3245]

15:00 - Cool shot of Beaver Valley Nuclear Power Station 👍😁

[@SteamCrane]

Great video! Suspect the issues will turn out not too serious. Definitely worth saving.

[@ScrappyIndustries]

Will see! I would like to at least pull the heads and see what we find

[@kiblerfarms]

@@ScrappyIndustries I will be following that very closely. Hope it isn't major damage. We always talked about fixing it ourselves but never found the time.

[@matthewwoods2102]

Awesome…keep the great content coming.

[@zaccheus]

Here DiPietro Excavating did these fellas a favor by moving it cheap and they outed him by saying it was at night with no permits. Can’t be kind to nobody anymore 😂

[@jkibler2]

DiPietro hauled for the baseball fields legit. Someone else did the original haul from Strasburg lol

[@zaccheus]

@ oh maybe I missed the details then, I understood DiPietro was the $350 mover.

[@mischef18]

Great job guys it looks a good fixer upper. Safe travels.

[@mikerobbins1162]

I enjoy your content and learn a lot. The lathe knowledge was impressive. You and Matt both do a good job. Hope it's working out for ya

[@REDBIRD-95]

Matt and Sam, the "Heavy Metal" brothers 🤘👍

[@axcs0119]

Watching the drive home with the dozer, I knew exactly where you were you when I saw the VFW with the Cobra out front.

[@malcolmyarnold6172]

Hi guys thanks for sharing love all those old girls yous are saving

[@gordonagent7037]

Fantastic recovery Sam, excellent vlog.

[@welte-mignoncabinett100red6]

Great video. Good to see you and Matt having fun together. Bruce in Sydney, Australia.

[@alanfenwick9307]

What a "sweeeet" looking machine. Enjoying your videos Sam. 👍

[@luvtruckin]

The thing that always amazes me is the amount of punishment these machines can take no matter if it’s you or Matt we see the stoutness of these machines a testament to the way things were built back in the day. Thank you for saving them. Whose Frank?

[@donkizzmaazz628]

I pulled a mobile home down a street like that. The only way you knew you werent hitting car mirrors was to see a sliver of light of light between the trailer and the mirror. There was no room to turn at all. You had to put it down the middle of the street and hope for light.

[@LRCVWDude]

@15:20: "Those are some BIIIG cooling towers" Yes Matt, they are, and i've been "on-site" as a kid in the 90's. Its even MORE impressive when you see them up close. And literally a minute later @16:22 you guys went past a dirt road that leads back to a gas well pad, as well as another place called Bird Hill Road: i almost lost my F150 down that because it turned into a rutted out 4x4 trail into a hollow. Be curious to see how Matt's Humvee handles it :D

[@Lawrence1203-f7s]

Big ole boy. I ran one in Vietnam (among other "stuff"). The most interesting was filling in stagnant 500 bomb craters when a HUGE snake crawled up on the bull blade and came right at me. Scared me like the dickens. Good job. viewed in San Diego.

[@stevea9604]

Great to see Matt there too…2 great minds workin on it 👍🏻🤩🧐

[@leolarocque-v5v]

Love the video Guy's and like old AC Dozer .

[@kenburns4802]

thanks for taking us along

[@garymessina1609]

She's a good old beast great video thanks Sam and Matt and Frank

[@edwardsmith-uk8tf]

great video glad to see you and matt teaming up to save the older equipment. really like your videos. Been by beaver valley nuclear plant a couple times.

[@maxpuppy96]

That is a good size dozer, Allis put 2 stroke Detroits in some of their smaller ones like an HD 6

[@allensharlow7763]

Good job getting that dozer, loaded and trucked to its new place, great work Sam and of coarse Matt❤❤😎😎👍👍🍮🍮

[@gibbsey9579]

That helicopter would make a great "Will it start" episode.

[@JohanLind]

I've always said it, and it's obiously true regardless of contintent, that Labradors are the friendliest dog-breed ever! Our black lab "Viking" here in Sweden sends his waggiest tail-shakes towards y'all!

[@ScrappyIndustries]

Labs are the best

[@johnmccormick175]

Great video Sam ,you and Matt make a good team !

[@thepoorfarmer23]

Oh man, to have friends like you guys! Friends with cowboys, I'd be heavy iron broke for sure 😂. You guys post some great videos!

[@charleswalton5132]

I hope you keep us posted on the progress with this one,I’d like to hear it push some dirt. That was in direct competition with the D7 17a and I am familiar with it but I never been around the HD 16.

[@makeitwork583]

No Fat Alice, but it has potential, lmao. Loving your channel lately, such enthusiasm!

[@michaelleonard7613]

Good morning Sam and Matt

[@trickstothetrades1801]

My neighbor fixes forklifts at that Nuke plant, they have 2 cool excavators they don’t use anymore that we have been trying to get. If we ever do we will definitely have a video coming out on that

[@diegomartinlaurent935]

that ford truck really rocks

Looks like another diamond in the rough to me. Good luck scrappy ha ha ha.!

[@MrJohn714]

Thats funny "it's not too early just staying dark too long" !😁

[@73DiamondReo]

Thanks guys now my life is in danger when Deb sees this

[@ScrappyIndustries]

You had been warned 😂

[@shrdinc]

Best sellers ever - those guys might as well be patreon subs!

[@FriPilot]

Sam, nag Matt to keep the first Clark fork lift that he bought. It works great. He's just unhappy that it's a stick rather than an auto trans. I have a feeling about that little lift. Hell, it's no worse than a lot of the other stuff he's got lying around.

[@SammyFender]

Dang! I wish I knew you guys were in Strasburg!! You drove right by my place heading home!! I’d have bought you lunch at a great steakhouse

[@cadewey6181]

Head gasket? More likely leak between the sleeves and head in the 160000 (844 cube) engine. As the HP was increased the sleeves fitting above the block ( up to .009 proud ) increased. The size and torque on the 5/8 and 3/4 headbolt was increased. You can locate the leak with a infared gun. The manifold port will show cooler if water is spitting out in the head. Do this quick or risk scoring a crankshaft. This is why most Budda powered cats were junked. The Detroit powered AC crawlers lasted longer. Also if it is powershift it is an HD16 DP. Those could also be IH track. I have heard that AC bought from IH at the of their production in Cedar Rapids. I had worked for old time AC people who ran a crane company.

[@73DiamondReo]

@@cadewey6181 good info. If we can’t fix it there will be a repower

[@cadewey6181]

@ 844s were used as 400 hp truck engines D 25000 I think. Each generation of 844 grew in head bolt size and torque. It might be worth while to re- torque the heads. I think they are cast in three cylinders each.

[@73DiamondReo]

@ he said the leak was really bad. Probably pull the pan and pressure test it first

[@cadewey6181]

@ there is a set of o- rings on each sleeve and the head is supposed to press on the sleeve top. At least some sleeve kits say the head should be re- torqued a number of times after repair.

[@73DiamondReo]

@ thanks for all the info

[@AdelinoGambiarras]

It looks like the catle just keep on coming 😅😂

[@KevinHarvey-qw5mj]

We had a hd 5 track loader we used in dirt work and at the landfill and had cat equipment also but when it came down to it the hd5 seems to have more power than the big cat maintenance and keeping under carriage clean and maintained is important. Like tracks keep tight but they have to have a little give 5:03

[@ferebeefamily]

Thank you gentlemen for the video.

[@steefvd1]

The buddies on the road again, I love it!
