I don’t think that machine hasn’t seen any fluid since the soviets gave birth to it!! What a video, very very good. The self control you have is amazing, does nothing worry you. You will have a go at anything, and whatever you do it’s to a high standard. Love watching you work, keep it up. Amazing video and an amazing man. 👍

28:28 Great job not dying 10/10

[@Ants_Pants]

Super successfully did not die

[@TheJimcrooks800]

Yep, what a bunch of metal. The quantity of fluid that the dozer has to shift around means it needs to be a powerful beast! What a huge amount of grease, oil and lubricants! Glad you have the manual but I prefer your checklist, especially 'Don't die'. So, some therapeutic zip line stuff with the family is just what you need. Thanks again Andris for a great video and facing the challenge and might of Soviet engineering!

Did not die 👍💪

@@Ants_Pants the part of the clip where you talk about doing it

[@pikethree]

If you put that old hydraulic oil in a 44 gallon drum with a wood fire underneath and cook it for a number of hours, until the oil separates out the golden colour good stuff from the sludge at the bottom. No need to give it to a big oil recycling company to profit off of. Dont mix the engine oil with the hydraulic oil. But cook both and recycle yourself. This is a African tip. Good video today Antz

[@Ants_Pants]

Ohh? Interesting i never knew this👍

[@SPUDHOME]

Might to be helpful. Have it professionally tested. Grade, compatibly with other oil, contamination purity. Lubercation property’s. Just to name a few. Pre ww2 oil’s did not mix well. Caused sever problems.

[@shadovanish7435]

I believe the "mystery" bolt (with lock nut) located on the brake band housing(?) is a brake band adjustment bolt. If that's what it is, it's purpose is to slightly raise the brake band off of the brake drum, & prevent the brake band from dragging on the drum, when the brake (for right or left side tracks) is not applied. Similar bolts (with lock nuts) are on my bulldozer's brake band housings.

[@Ants_Pants]

Hmm 🤔

Saturday morning at 08:09 am.Lets have some fun so that i can wake up slowly.

Echoing other folks - another great episode, both the craft you bring in doing this work combined with the well done video work (loved the inside pressure washing angles, under the dozer shots, etc).

WOW! That thing should run like brand new now! As you know, I just bought a new house. I don't think I have enough money left to buy all of the grease and oil this thing takes. Love watching the kids on the zip line. It's funny, I don't speak the language but I can pretty much tell what they are saying. Kids are the same around the world.🥰PS: I'm sorry you found out I took a crap in your dozer. I'm not sorry I did it, just sorry you found out.😁😂😇

[@Ants_Pants]

Lol mwhahhaha 😂😂😂

[@chrisbailey459]

Just a tip from an ex mechanic when you are greasing any bearing,roller etc as soon as you see the new grease emerging stop as after that point all you are doing is wasting new grease and creating a dirt magnet. Also wipe off the excess grease to deter from making a dirt magnet. Regards.

[@TheHomePros6221]

I’m happy to see the bottom rollers we’re good and had oil in them, the top rollers got bad probably due to the tracks being to tight and pulling on the bearings more than the others and the front idler roller gets the most tension that’s why it went bad, you prob could replace the bearings and seals fairly easy, but I think the track tension is to high

[@Ants_Pants]

I tried to open one of them up. But the thread is damaged and was unable to crank it open. Even the nutbuster crapped out. Your right though about the tension

[@Sthilboy56]

Keep up the good work , 👍

[@Ants_Pants]

Thanks, will do!

[@mikehunt3222]

When you were jacking up the big Russian bulldozer I thought that jack wasn’t going to stop sinking into the ground until it hit Australia. The dozer is looking good. I’ve been watching the news and waiting for a report of a madman leveling off Estonia in a big Russian bulldozer but haven’t seen anything yet. I had an idea for your zip line. You could build a reel for the rope with a handle on it so you could just crank the rope onto the reel instead of standing there pulling it in by hand. It looks like the zip line is going faster this year and looks like the kids are having a lot of fun on it. Hope the family is doing good and keep up the great videos.

[@Ants_Pants]

Good idea mate iv wanted to make something but been busy

[@Ants_Pants]

I also though it's gonna sink more then it did

[@joegrabowski6011]

This is a little late but here goes when we brain these types of units we drill with magnetic bit in the center of the plug bottom using a bit that correlate to the of of a hose or tuning we have selected when finished drilling a quick change from drill to tube or hose is all the risk of spill age we have to deal with. As far as the hole in plug goes we can weld up the hole or replace the plug ,make sure to use anti seize sparingly.done in the field this can attract the wrong type of attention with the wrong people . some people turn a quart of oil in to the exon Valdes !I enjoy your channel very much.
