Caterpillar Ten Clutch Bearing Replacement - Part 1: Disassembly/Splitting the Tractor

[@curtbush75]

Always concise language in your descriptions I like that And no annoying loud and grating music to introduce your project. I am currently rehabilitating an old motorcycle and I learn shop stuff from all your projects

[@bruceb3786]

I had race cars when I was much younger, the last one was a '57 Chevy B Gasser. I learned to drive on a Farmall Cub in 1955 at 7 yo. I was like Mr. Toad's Wild Ride at Disney. I have always had a penchant for dozers, having operated a JD 350 for a few months, then "played" with a D8 when I worked for a construction company in 1978. BUT, I knew Nothing about the working parts of a Dozer. So, watching these videos, I am Mesmerized watching the piece by piece disassembly, (With Complete Explanation !), and reassembly of each component. I am so nearly there, I feel the grease on my hands! Thank you Toby, for sharing the excellent mechanic skills you have !! While this "10" is a "Little Cutie", one has to remember that even this "little" heavy duty cold hard steel means business ! I saw the "10" which was on outdoor display during your road trip to pick up the only D2 new cylinder liners left in the world (made in 1938), and you said in the video that if that "10" was yours, you wouldn't have it stored outdoors. I agree with that 100% ! I would keep it in a heated shed, and only drive it on dry weekends ! LOL. Can hardly wait to see this put back together. Thank you again for sharing your wealth of knowledge!

[@hymonhowell3900]

You amaze me with your mechanical skill. Most mechanics can't do the work as fast as you.

[@vilenius187]

Great job. Thanks for going through the trouble of not just doing mechanics work but also posting an interesting video about it

[@bigears4426]

This machine looks so simple and so well made ,terrific old machine

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Very cool machine and a piece of caterpillar history! I like the tutorial, very cool my brother got the 1950s cat d2 5u very cool little machine that he himself restored. Thank's for sharing this video.

[@halsnyder296]

Working on getting a Caterpillar 15 home so, obviously, I have to rewatch this series.

[@lbfishin2156]

nice editing! easy to follow but not missing anything, looking forward to reassembly.

[@ajnonameajnoname7173]

Like your video there was no music to interfere in hearing what you had to say and how you had the patience to take it apart thanks for a great video

[@arynschroeder4059]

Cute little cat, I know that you'll give it the love and respect it deserves when putting it back to gether.

[@barrywhitley2535]

Great video. Really enjoyed watching. It's a pleasure to watch you work and listen to, without any um's and ah's. And I did watch the bonus footage.

[@eagleeye566]

Nicely done! Thoroughly enjoyed the process. Looking at a genius at work.

[@bruceb3786]

Just now saw the Bonus Footage !! If that was me, there would be "words" !! My Father was a sailor, and I learned quickly. That sometimes serves me well, when I am by myself !! LOL

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Hi Pal! I don't feel bad about having 6 lawn mowers now with all your stuff, but one must have what one must have. Hope all is well on the farm. Grass still grows on our swamp in the hills. Job security and yes, you might as well fix what you find while you're there. Sweet little Kitty, by the way! Take care and God willing I'll be here for the next one!

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Too many to keep hot but enough to keep warm? I know how you feel and a project ALWAYS ends up bigger than the start. I've never seen it fail yet. But that's what ,makes us stay flexible or elastic as my wife calls it. I like the little Kitty! It'll run like a Swiss watch when you're done. Plus a new throwout bearing! That'll be nice.

[@tnoel374]

Great video I learned A Lot, watching you disassemble this old crawler.

[@bigbadwolf1966]

cool video, good to get an advanced look at similar problems I'll have to face later when I eventually play with my "project Caterpillar" Even though mine isn't a 10 but of the same age and similar origins (twenty two) I was originally after a 10 I'd known about for 15 years or so,,but someone else "borrowed" it permanently before I got the owners permission. So I settled on the twenty two.

[@tomvesco8692]

As usual, another outstanding informational video Toby! I thoroughly enjoyed the 'Bonus footage'! Great job editing also. Crawler Dollar$

[@jackburner8107]

I like the way you work....love the old tractors.....

[@waynep343]

wow.. thank.. the family acreage has a 1926 Twenty.. mom wanted to change the transmission oil. dad drained and refilled it.. found the clutch cavity and filled that with gear oil also. dad decided to wash the oil out of the clutch with 5 gallons of MEK. washed all the grease out of the throw out bearing and pilot bearing. the motor eventually seized.. somebody took the magneto. i saw it about 20 years ago gleaming bright yellow in the sun. . the last time it was painted was about 1963.. with the best quality hansa yellow paint that could have been had. it was almost glowing it was so bright.. i reached out to touch it.. then pulled back.. realized that 1963 paint was LEAD based. so it just sits out in the sagebrush. in the early 70s. one of the locals borrowed the cat 15 pull grader with pnumatic tires.. its painted and on display in their front yard.. both of those were great jungle gyms to grow up playing on. thanks for the video.. i don't even know if it still exists. i can see it on google maps but that image is a few years old. . . i look forward to your putting the finishing touches on the TEN. to keep it going another 90s years.

[@H2R5GSXR]

Enjoyed watching, Thanks for all the hard real work and the edit, great job.

[@ianrutherford878]

As 'still shot' the bonus with the surrounding tree-tops was a beauty.

[@waltermattson5566]

I watched it all too. You make it look very easy.

[@rickatkins1493]

I enjoy you videos, retired and living in Charleston SC now but had a small farm in Va and did most of my Maintenance. You don't throw as many wrenches as ai did. :)

[@ryanratzlaff1012]

Good video, looks similar in design to my Twenty Two, now I know what I'm getting into for the engine swap...

[@mikeschoeffter7420]

Excellent video, very informative, thanks for posting

[@ccga3359]

New subscriber, very informative videos, I'm enjoying them very much. What I would like to see are some play lists for your restoration series videos. Thanks.

[@johnbarham7718]

An excellent video set. You make it look very easy, however I suspect its a little bit harder to actually do.

[@tmack2090]

im enjoying watching your vids ! thanks for sharing !

[@michaelmcclure8673]

Squatch Looks like you're my kind of filming troubles. Love how you did it and showed each step. Guess fuel getting warm and vapor locking wasn't a problem with that tank setup.🤔

[@kianzechariah9181]

[@ivanferguson2019]

Love old tractors of any make, but the old cats are my favorite. Grampa had a bunch of them ole beasts, from a lild2 on up.

[@davidgoodwin1311]

a lot's changed in five years!

[@davetaylor7582]

Good work

[@pauljohansson7697]

I love the old cats.

[@bill45colt]

im about to have to go into a D47U,,,,this helps a lots

[@jankotze1959]

Fantastic editing and video

[@jankotze1959]

I checked part 2 and 3 it is one great job well done, thank you very much

[@mog5858]

keep up the good work

[@johntaylor1947]

I am surprised the through out bearing dose not have at least shields or is sealed no wonder it failed. The 10 is one cute little tractor I would love to find one .

[@seniorelectrician6831]

Interesting!

[@celtic1522]

I owned a 10 and a number of 15's and 22's in my time which was admittedly was over 20 years ago. From memory I always took the engine out as one unit to play in the clutch area. The foot plates needed to be undone as did the front bolts on the mudguards. Then the keeper on the throttle, jack up the front of the gearbox, drop and slide out the equaliser spring, then undo the ring of bolts around bell housing and extract the engine whole! Have I missed something out? I am old, good video all the same.....

[@evankibbe590]

Very interesting

[@jamesdiehl8690]

Is that the 10 that pit on your rock pile monument in the field? I wondered where it was from? I didn't see all of this when you had it years ago! No wonder you gave it a special place! 😀

[@jamesdiehl8690]

@@squatch253 OH, OK! It looked about the same size and I haven't watched your videos long enough to have seen the Ten being reworked. I just saw you awhile back getting it out of the shed to access some parts in boxes for the M!

[@simonrichard9873]

That Cat is so cute!

[@barryhorne7052]

Cat stuff , well engineered , made to be rebuilt not thrown away , love it ! I have a D2 5U that needs attention . Pup won't engage , been pull starting it with my pick up . Need to pressurize the fuel tank a bit and bleed the injectors almost every time I start it . Clutch is acting odd , I took off the small plate on top and the disk with the pull out pin turns freely , the pin doesn't seem to engage , is it possible that the pin is broken off ? The knob is there and it pulls out against a spring . Cheers , Barry

[@ronaldkearn3322]

Lots and lots of work for a pilot bearing. whew!

[@wagon9082]

Good Video

[@Swilling]

how similar is this regarding engineering, to a cat 22 ? looking at one that needs some work and pretty confident i can fix it if its as mangable as this little 10 is

[@johnkufeldt3564]

at 10:00 minutes(approx) couldn't that front plate come off the spring retainer, looked like 3 cotter pins and maybe a bit of hammer or prying persuasion. Just a guess from an amatuer.

[@TheDisorderly1]

What a cool old machine. Where do you find all these old machines?

[@VinniePepperoni]

Great video, after you get all that stuck and frozen pins etc loose and apart, are you putting anything on them at reinstall to prevent a repeat ?

[@kenuber4766]

Anti Sneeze!! HaHaHa

[@shaneharrison4775]

Hey squatch when you pull the exhaust how necessary or often would you need to separate the entire exhaust assembly if at all just curious on dads old farmall f12 ,f14 and F20 we would redo them yearly after inspection

[@daleslover2771]

kind of curious how many years did they make those things,, I live on a ranch,,we got one buried under a pile of the debris, I asked the owner she said that the last time that Cat ran was when she was a kid, stated that the left track if you lock the track... would come off off its roller,it's a flat track the suspension is identically what you got on yours same Flathead 4,,, the only thing that can see different from yours and hers is to shroud too the radiator is different. I think she said it may be a 1931 or 32

[@brentrogers9994]

Grate video

[@tjcleave2646]

what is that MM wide front in the background?

[@squatch253]

Thats Senior’s 5-Star tractor 😎

[@tbirdracefan]

Would a bearing with dust covers both sides last longer in this application?

[@nelsonfranklin6267]

Awesome video teardown of the ten, inspired me revive PT2322. I sent you a PM on Smokstak, as I was having trouble with access to You Tube. What make is the sediment bowl you are using and do you have any leak issues at the banjo fitting? Thank you in advance and please keep up the good work, enjoying a lot of the non-Caterpillar stuff as well.

[@markamcampbell6340]

is this the same one you pulled out from behind the guys house? i thought it was a diesel.

[@416asshole]

Is there anything you need to do on engine with it out any way?

[@exilfromsanity]

It looks like the "restoration" that was done before you got the tractor was a "cosmetic restoration", also known as a paint job.

[@markamcampbell6340]

what happened to the old diesel?

[@TheSoloAsylum]

I just farted, it's so powerful. I was going to pause the video but no, I'm sticking it out.

[@Crunch1954]

That flat belt was not f factory

[@jonka1]

@3:50 I'm staggered to see a total lack of lubrication on the linkage. I can hardly believe that someone who is so very particular about mechanical details can assemble a mechanism without lubrication. The rust in the pivots is an insult to the machine.

[@jonka1]

@@squatch253 Thanks for your reply. I'm so used to being impressed by your attention and care that I was too quick to assume you had a hand in this. Yes I saw your work on the undercarriage and from what you say you will have no excuse for sitting around relaxing for some time to come.
