Will this Old Bulldozer START & DRIVE 2 Miles to Rescue NOT 1 but 3 BOGGED Tractors?

This video is a follow on from the first WILL It Start for this old Bulldozer since it was initially retrieved from the middle of the paddock some months ago. With three tractors hopelessly bogged, it finally has an opportunity to be useful once again if we can get it running again. Thanks for watching!

Hey Bruce, when I was about 10 yrs old they straightened the road in front of our house. The hill, which was quite large, became the source of the crushed stone for the road base. A crushing plant was set up and the work began. They were using a D9 Cat for removing the overburden and then assisting the crushing operation. Every morning is hear the pony motor start up and then the big diesel. I'd sit on the edge to the hill side and watch the progress. One day the D9 operator stopped the machine and waved me over. He helped me up on the dozer and we made a couple passes moving material. 63 years later I still remember that experience well. Thanks for the great videos 😊

[@metricstormtrooper]

And you'll never forget that thrill👍

[@Mercmad]

There's a channel on here where a contractor in the US does all his own maintenance of the various Cats he operates.(jaypaydirt) There's a vid of him driving his dads D9 when he was 12, actually working and not just playing around.

[@HirschPower]

Awesome story John hope you’re well hoss

[@campcreekhill8933]

Yep get on the grader

[@and__lam1152]

Get on the grader Brucey ... she's a beaut

[@stevesalvage1089]

Thanks again Bruce , brilliant viewing. Glad all went well there , thanks

[@spanners94]

That dozer just said "hold my beer, I got some playing to do".

[@systemsrenegade9888]

Yep , it said it had to go get the kids toys out of the sand pit .

[@jimbojones247]

G'day Bruce! True Blue Legend!

[@mickweeks5358]

Please make a movie of the grader.

[@NebraskaOldGoldKnights0505]

Yes please!

[@MrBarrySell]

Yes please!

[@buddyweiz]

I've always loved those graders...hello from Finland!

[@doug9418]

That's a wonderful idea. Hello from central California.

[@MrBarrySell]

Best video production on equipment repair on KZbin! The cameraman and Bruce do a great job at editing and production.

[@Gav671]

The best content on you tube Bruce.

[@laurencehastings7473]

What a trooper. You're still in recovery but find the energy to go and help others. At least it was well worthwhile. Recovering three tractor rigs in one mission. All in all that must have been a full day's work. A very successful mission Bruce and being the gentleman you really are, you found the time to thank the cameraman and the farmers you were recovering for helping you. Let's face it it's not a situation where you could phone a recovery company to save the day. Don't know if you like a beer but you deserve freebies for life after this mission.

[@vicbittertoo]

Yeah, carton currency, a timeless Aussie obligation and tradition :):):)

[@stevenhayes3241]

It’s nice to watch a master mechanic that can also operate a piece of equipment perfectly. Good on you.

[@markkennedy4202]

This is the equivalent of Attenborough for mechanical people. Just a chill watch 👍👌

[@goprojoe360]

That grader would be a good fix Bruce, it looks a classic 👍

[@Stephen-ou4sy]

Love to see the grader get a bit of attention. The old Chamberlain tractor still working is good to see. Thanks for sharing.

[@KevinBlanch-q1o]

Hell yer I like the way you look after all those old machines

[@denismartin4680]

Hello Bruce and the cameraman great work on getting those tractors out of the wet area the bulldozer did the the job easily track's are much better on wet areas great work fella's and yes it will be awesome to see you get the grader started and running enjoyed watching thanks for sharing Bruce blessings to everyone

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Bruce, the dozer is definitely coming in handy and goes to show that old machines still have the place, I wouldn’t mind seeing the grader come back to life to, great episode mate, cheers

[@rakersdownnz]

That Dozer is a just a grand old monster, the stories it could tell !

[@wildscotsman1]

Love the channel Bruce and yes I would love to see the old grader come back to life.

[@gordonagent7037]

Best 45 minutes entertainment this week Bruce, great save, that old girl still has a lot of work left in her yet as do you. For sure mate, I would really love to see you kick the old grader in the pills and see if she’ll run. Your videos really are so down to earth and honest, just love them. Catch you next week Bruce, have a good one

[@scottjacko87]

Thanks for a fun adventure, Bruce! Would be excellent to see that Grader for sure.

[@jimsum7018]

Bring the grader back to life Bruce.

[@paulorourke9198]

Another great, Bruce. You’ve pumped them out this week. Keep the stories coming. Most informative.

[@wercs4me]

The Old Dozer did the Job... Another Top Video :)

[@matthewlinehan5108]

Bruce your the best , love your videos . Massachusetts USA

[@moblacksmith0530]

There was no way that that would have sat in my shed since you rescued it until this video, I would have been out tearing some stuff up with it.🤣

[@stephenmeeks684]

God bless you, Bruce.

[@SuperLaplander]

Lovely episode Bruce. Cheers from Sweden! Grader next, please! The tractor owners owe you a nice dinner, i think.

[@liamdeerz]

Get the old grater going Bruce ! Another great video as usual.

[@RESSSQ]

If you could Bruce that would be great to see the old grader running and operating 🤙👌

[@not-pc6937]

Awesome job Bruce 👍

[@systeminoperative8790]

I love Australian content, to me there is nothing better than Aussie movies, locally designed and built cars & machinery and the like and to top it off us Aussies as a people. A lot of people do this will it start bizzo from around the world but you old mate are bloody legend. I cant get enough, no bullshit no lies no crap just the real thing , thanks old mate total respect

[@rods6405]

Take it easy? Lets go and Rescue 3 BOGGED Tractors! Great Video! Been a while since my dad showed me that method of siphoning fuel!

[@lukeplayer187]

I’d love to see you get the grader started and moving. Great story as usual Bruce about yourself and your dad.

[@makeisakaelea]

You never to old to do the job ❤❤❤❤.

[@waynerockley9965]

Great work Bruce I love that old Alice 👌

[@nickraschke4737]

Great video Bruce. Kudos to your team too.

[@not-pc6937]

Glad to hear the eyes going ok mate 👍takes a while to get back to normal - no heavy stuff 👍

[@johnpowers2753]

excellent job pulling the bogged tractors out. It would be great to see you get the D8 moving. The grader would be a good show also. I had a Massey Ferguson years ago with a Perkins engine. It was a good dozer and i never had any issues with that engine. Ran like a charm. Keep sending the great videos!

[@daveb7999]

Like to see you get back to those graders, thanks for this video, nice to see these ol' machines come back to life.

[@lynnesarc6461]

Great effort by all concerned, have been watching Diesel Creek who I suspect would love to see what you are up to, will continue to watch for your output.

[@raulmarra6551]

Hi Bruce you are a legend my friend I really enjoy the way you bring this old dinosaur back to life your knowledge is amazing

[@user-vk4vd7vr5t]

Haha that dozer idled those tractors out! Amazing traction

[@davidgardner4450]

Good to see you playing with Big Boys Toys again 😊, don't over do it ,eyes can't be replaced ! Cheers room Derbyshire UK

[@murpbassett4818]

Your a gem Bruce . Safety wasnt even a word when i did my time on tractors. Now i think of it all the time. It's not about me getting hurt, it's the others that you hurt. I'm so glad you thought about the job in a safe way. Regards,Tim.

[@RustyInventions-wz6ir]

Very nice work sir. I grew up on a farm and know how bad a tractor can get stuck. A dozer could also get badly stuck, but is very strong and tracks is just great for grip.

[@niahvail8506]

Cheers Bruce glad your eye is getting there always enjoy your videos cheers .

[@NiahlM5991]

Your a good bloke to have around, take care of yer self

[@leonardosimm3536]

An excellent demonstration of the situation where there's no replacement for good old fashioned grunt; the old girl barely noticed the tractors she was pulling out of the mire. Also always a treat to watch an experienced hand at the controls of a big machine - finished off with a very nice parking job!

[@roryheggie7633]

Bruce it was great fun watch ing good job well done cheers

[@keepitsimpleideaguy8676]

Always a good day when Bruce uploads. Yes please let’s see the grader. I enjoyed the adventure today, thanks Bruce. Take care of yourself.

[@brerobsym]

Take care of yourself, Bruce! Was awesome to see that old girl working, it's all good and well to get them to run, but to see them in action is so much better. Also, I thought you would know by now that asking if we want you to get the grader running comes under the title of 'Bloody stupid question!' Of course we do. Thanks for such wonderful content.

[@scroungasworkshop4663]

Well done Bruce, you’re the man. You’ve come a long way from when you started and seem so much more relaxed in front of the camera now. I love your content and relaxed style. Cheers mate, Stuart. Canberra.

[@badasssamurai4954]

Great video Bruce and team! Loved the tires put in the rigging of the straps and chains to prevent a dangerous situation!

[@MrPNutt]

Nicely done Bruce! Definitely would like to see you tackle the grader next! Thank you to the cameraman for taking on the heavy load so you can heal! Take care of yourself!

[@philyew3617]

Hi Bruce, good to hear the surgery has gone well, just be carefull to let your eye recover fully. Love this video, it brought back a few memories. Back in 1963 when I was 15 and just started my apprenticeship, I was buying 1 spanner a week, and the very first one I got was 1/4 whit. It was a Britool and I've still got it🙂. I also like how you use tyres on the straps and chains for safety in case any of them break under load. The number of young guys I see today who have no idea of safety when towing or winching, I've seen both chains and cables break under heavy load and they've had enough energy to take someones head off. They can call me an old know-it-all fart if they want but, after a lifetime in engineering I've still got both eyes and all my fingers. Keep yourself well and thanks for your videos. A video of the Grader would be interesting.

[@pls329]

Love to see the grader brought back to life, great channel Bruce

[@scoates9910]

Great show! The camera work is really, really good, thanks 👍♥️

[@davereid3708]

Absolutely loved this episode as well as the others but the on site rescue and ripping anecdotes using a machine we already know make it a beauty mate .Cheers from the mallee!

[@TerryLawrence001]

Always fascinating Bruce! Yes, Please do the grader too! 🙂

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear Mr. Bruce. 👍👌👏 Very well done again (video and work). Oldies but definitely Goldies! This applies to Bruce and the bulldozer. 😁 ;-) Get 100% well soon, Sir! Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and especially health to all involved people.

[@xrpspeedboat226]

That was fantastic! Thanks Bruce😊

[@adriaanboogaard8571]

Another great show. Yes, please, on doing a show on the grader. I've been on and worked farms and ranches for most of my 56 year's and love when they modify machine's because it's what they could afford. Those old guys are part engineer. I knew one that took a model A Ford and used the frame engine and transmission and used it to power a chopper mixer for pig feed. I last saw him run it in 1990. It fired right up. He since passed away. Old Shelby Cook has long since passed. I bet that old rig would still run if he was around.

[@peteraldino3423]

Glad you’ve come through OK. Keep taking it easier so the healing can complete ! Cheers!

[@larryelliott6321]

Nice, so methodical and steady. Took a real machine to extracate the others. Thanks for doing it! -From Idaho USA

[@JohnDeehr-cc7mh]

Great bog rescue & yes to a grader, Will it start, be safe and keep up the good work 🤠

[@38score17]

We would love to see some grader action and thanks for sharing this thoroughly enjoyed watching it Mr Bruce:)

[@tuneinkate]

Yeah, that's correct when it comes to reversing - we used to do it with our old CAT D5B in the New England. I know a few who did the same with D7G's & D9's too.

[@DJ70404]

Bruce is a bloody legend. Reminds me of my old man. Wish he was still here to have a beer and a yarn with. Good on ya Bruce. Keep up the good work.

[@jamesjohnson6924]

Thats a YES on the road grader sir!😁

[@pavil58yt]

What a beast! Pulled those tractors out like it was nothing. Another fine video.

[@roberthocking9138]

Great job all round Bruce 👍 that’s a lovely old dozer. Yes love to see you fire up that old grader, shouldn’t be hard with a perkins engine 😁

[@tonynicholson3328]

Thanks Bruce, good result, looking forward to the D8, my childhood centrefold, love a bit of pony motor action!😅.

[@Majortruth.]

She might be old but still v good to go, GG glad your eyes are good mate.

[@matthewcox1122]

Good to see the old iron you rescued be put to a useful task 🔧🍀🚜👌

[@johnnyz9092]

Great job Bruce!, do not stop filming!! next time try to start the grader and try to drive it. Greetz from Holland👍

[@Louis-m4c]

Well done Bruce.

[@johnjordan4647]

Yes Bruce would love to see a video on the old grader 👍

[@michaelfoort2592]

Holy cow, look at the dust! Amazing that it ran at all. And what beast, once it started to pull.

[@Neil-ru7kw]

Hi fella's . Enjoyed this one and surely want to see you driving the grader . Take care 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@davidbarnsley8486]

I was concerned about the weight of the dozer on that soaked ground But it was fine and it pulled out the tractors like they were not even there Good one Bruce Good to hear your eye is on the mend 👍👍

[@carlachambers3771]

He's the nicest mechanic. I haven't seen him throw a wrench or cuss.😮

[@gbentley8176]

Fabulous video Sir. Hats off. Take care best wishes from the UK.

[@nathancurran612]

Grader video would be great. My dad grew up operating TD35s and 40s. I grew up with D8s. Cable blade and rippers, pilot motor start. 6sp manual. Dams, fences, scrub pulling. We used 5th and 6th gears, but throttled down low, no torque but good for walking long runs. They would rattle and shake that bad in 6th at med rpm you struggled to stay on the machine, let alone if you hit a hole or rocked on a log, would catapult you into the cluch levers, and crack some ribs. We rotated tracks to wear the pins on both sides.

[@JP5isalive]

Hi Bruce, another top quality vid. Yes please on the grader video 👍

[@VPrice-y8v]

Hello from Fort Lauderdale Florida...I really love watching your videos. Can't wait to see what you are after next.

[@dsohn]

Well done, Bruce. It is so good to see the old equipment do useful work to help the farmer neighbors. Glad your eye is recovering nicely. Keep following the doctor's advice and all should go well. Thanks for the great video. Complements to the Camera Man. David in the USA.

[@woubulbus]

I really liked the rescue mission. I hope you do more of these where you manage to save some bogged vehicles

[@richardmiels3402]

Thank you Bruce; one of the best yet. Your cameraman/person is very, very good, as is the editing. Almost pro documentary level. It is wonderful to see old machinery prove its worth and this old Cat really showed its value. The build fidelity of machines from the late 50s thru 80s was pretty high, simple but durable.

[@stevenjohannesen88]

Another great Vlog, yes get the grader going, and I reckon the cameraman is your grandson!🦘🦘🦘❤️🇦🇺

[@takingcarebusiness3357]

You are very fastidious and super careful which is good. Keep 'em coming. Gr8 to watch..very interesting! Yes, i want to see the Allis/Perkins combo fire into life. You can do it!

[@DavoShed]

Hi Bruce, That bird is called a Pardalote. We get them around my place near Grafton from time to time. Great to see your previous handy work being put back to work rather than just start and park. Yeah love to see you get that old grader going. 🤠 Maybe fix a track or two a month later as well ha ha.

[@Kingsoupturbo]

Pulled those big tractors out like it was nothing! Amazing how much dirt came out of the filters, getting the even bigger dozer running will be awesome!

[@LandAndSea195]

Thanks again for the video Bruce. That's a big yes from me to get the grader going. Would be good to see it pushing a bit of dirt. Cheers Evo..

[@davidforbes7972]

That’s very smart using the tires to stop the chain if it snaps And yes do a will it run on the grader

[@allanmills5982]

Definately need to see that grader move.

[@aussiefritz]

Well done Bruce, always love watching your adventures.

[@larrytucker2938]

Super job...old Fiat Alice runs like a charm. Good luck with your peepers, guess I'll have to do that soon. Cheers.
