I know it was a test and a pain every step of the way, Warren, but watching you work with the determination and desire to do the job right just affirmed my decision to hire you and Blake. I won't hesitate to call you again. Great job guys! Thank you.

Warren I helped my Uncle in the evenings work on track equipment used in the landfills around here. I know about cutting and beating things off. I'm sure glad to watch you and Blake working together. Blake looks like a young man who appreciates his family by helping them. Young Man has a great attitude working around with you also because he takes directions without complaining about the way you want things done unlike other young people who won't follow directions. Great job by you and Blake.

Warren, your dirty hands remind me of my late fathers when he used to pop home for lunch whilst working on heavy machinery, I will always remember his "machinery smell" and his black oily stained dirty hands (and that was after a quick wash), it used to take 2 weeks on holiday for his hands to get clean. Great videos mate, keep em coming.

Another great video on what to buy and what not to buy when looking at used equipment. The guy who said the undercarriage didn't look so bad? He should make a video on replacing an undercarriage as bad as this one. That would be pure comedy. I will now look even closer at something I intend to purchase. Thanks sirs. Keep up the great work.

I had this problem on a old Cat D-6. Bought it with a rebuilt engine. The guy gave me all the undercarriage parts and told me “ good luck”. One of the hardest jobs I’ve ever done. Nice work Warren.

[@johnjames77]

I am in the same shoes your were when you bought your Cat . All the drive parts on a JD350 Crawler are in great condition (like they were replaced not too long ago) but the frame is shot-out with rust and two of the 8 center crossbar bolts are broken off and the washers/spacers are gone on the rest. I dread doing this job but love giving older equipment and cars a new lease on life. Nothing made today will be worth saving in 50 years . These older units can last forever if they are well maintained and not left covered in mud outside.

All I can say from experience, is when father and son and or daughter work together, kindness and love have to be remembered by both. It was at times, difficult for me.

Pressure washer, grease gun, paint. Everybody forgets the paint. You know how the Golden Gate bridge is still standing? They NEVER STOP painting it. It is coated continuously. Look it up. Paint isn't just for looks- it locks out OXYGEN. No other gas in our atmosphere is as corrosive as Oxygen. It eats through everything except Gold, and maybe a few other exotic elements. Once Oxygen binds onto something- it starts corroding. Ever hear of antioxidant vitamins? Yea, your hemoglobin needs it, but even you start to rust!

Hi Warren and Blake, when an ordinary wrench won't work you can't beat a hot spanner and a light tap whith a heavy hammer, lol, you guys earned your corn on this one, the armchair mechanics wouldn't stand a chance on a job like this. I've been there on similar jobs in the past whith seized up bolts, and did exactly the same as you Warren , there's no easy answer to it, apart from a bigger hammer sometimes ,ha ,ha, .looking forward as allways to the next one, keep safe both of ya, Best wishes to all, Stuart uk.

Tore into a DT466 in an International 5288... Half inch didn't touch the crank or rod bearings.. 3/4" wouldn't do half of them.. but the 1" IR titanium did it!!!

[@andrewkiwi1]

My favourate tool in the shop "The Hissing Wrench" When you had the track carriage upside down on the blocks, you were trying to get the bolts for the rollers off. There are a series of sockets from Ko-Ken tools that have a spiral inside of them that are made just for this purpose and they work well. They are good. They are so tough that you can hammer them on to a rounded off bolt and they don't stretch or break. Doing work like that where you end up cutting stuff apart and re engineering it to make it work is tough going.

[@The_Oldguy]

One good thing about having to heat up all those bolts, is it gives you just a little warmth to get by.

Have you looked at those "Magnetic Inductance heaters"? They run on 120VAC and will heat a 1" bolt red hot in a few seconds. A bunch of companies make then now (the "Mini-Ductor" and "Bolt-Buster" to name a few). I think one of these would pay for it self quickly in your line of work - just in the savings in gas. Plus they don't shoot sparks and the heat is localized. Good luck. I enjoy your videos. Former International Harvester mechanic.
