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

[@mickweeks5358]

Please make a movie of the grader.

[@NebraskaOldGoldKnights0505]

Yes please!

[@MrBarrySell]

Yes please!

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

[@doug9418]

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

[@johnwesner3935]

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

[@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 .

[@stevesalvage1089]

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

[@MrBarrySell]

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

[@goprojoe360]

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

[@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 :):):)

[@jimsum7018]

Bring the grader back to life Bruce.

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

[@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

[@KevinBlanch-q1o]

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

[@larryelliott6321]

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

[@paulorourke9198]

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

[@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.

[@scottjacko87]

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

[@Gav671]

The best content on you tube 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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@wildscotsman1]

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

[@badasssamurai4954]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@not-pc6937]

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

[@lukeplayer187]

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

[@michaelfoort2592]

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

[@daveb7999]

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

[@allanmills5982]

Definately need to see that grader move.

[@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

[@peteraldino3423]

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

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.

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.

Fabulous dozer awesome piece of machinery. Great video, content, views and thanks to cameraman. Thanks for health update and keep following the instructions.

[@SgtE5]

Bruce, growing up here in Texas we had two Fiat Allis dozers, a 16B and an 11B. They were good machines and moved a Lot of dirt. I had to come back and edit this comment because it posted 20B instead of 16B. While I'm editing I'll add to my coment.. The 16B we bought out of Alaska thru an auction. When the dozer showed up, it had a complete brand new undercarriage under it including new rails and swamp pads. Apparently the auction company had a machinery service in Alaska install all the new workings and the machinery company installed it on the WRONG machine but it had already came all the way from Alaska to Texas..and we only paid $25,000 for the dozer at auction. The whole undercarriage was a bonus! I don't even think the auction fee paid for that mistake.

[@TheSeastar19]

Only in America mate, we here in Australia only dream about deals like you guys can achieve, here we pay more then that and still only get a worn out pile of junk for our money.

Our Bruce on a Sunday afternoon ❤....

[@xXtReMeGrAfiXx]

Check hydraulic oil level when the rams/ pistons are in the up position. If you look at the dipstick while the hydraulics are in the lower position, It will give you a high reading. This is because the oil has been retracted from the hydraulic cylinders and back to sump. Which will raise level you are reading on the dipstick . I learned this from a 1969 Ford 3000 diesel tractors owners manual

[@TINRFD]

That would be true, if these were single-acting cylinders like the one in most (older) tractors, were the hydraulic lifting arms can only lift, but not push down. The dozer has double-acting cylinders, which can push/pull in both ways. When the piston is retracted into the cylinder the piston-rod displaces oil, so there is more oil in the sump. It´s the other way around in this case.

[@bilinda508]
