Walden articulating wheel loader. Can I make it drive again??
zhlédnutí 14Před 12 hodinami
I just made a swap with my big loader for something that is a much more manageable size! It has a little 3 cylinder deutz air cooled engine on it and a hydrostatic drive. It has an issue with the hydraulic fluid getting aerated very badly, which I believe may have already damaged the main hydraulic pump. But as it sits now, It will barely move in low speed and wont move at all in high. So let's...

I installed Prowler steel over the tire tracks on my new holland skid steer!!
zhlédnutí 18Před 21 hodinou
I traded a set of rubber over the tire tracks for these prowler steel over the tire tracks. Mainly because the rubber ones were for 10-16.5 wheels and mine are 12-16.5. I've got them on and drove around and although I may not get stuck not, they ride ROUGH. I think mainly because I'm using them with solid rubber tires. But I didnt want rocks, sticks and things to get bwteen them and blow out ti...

What's the voltage of the alternator
@@princemulbah1750 12 volt, 270 amp
Where did you order?
@@robertcampbell1343 ebay. They have tons of engines on there
One of the nicest most comfortable motorcycles I’ve ridden. Sits nicely on the road touring, cruise control saves my licence. Good touring storage. All made for a great Sydney to Hobart return trip.
@@MrPeterm14 that's awesome!!
Looks like going to be a fun ride
@@gradyjoiner7413 oh, it is!!!!
Just stay away from 235s, junk,junk !!!!
Marvel oil works best !!!
nice tracks, how many hours have ya put on that nh? Ive always wondered how good they are.
@@micahsmith774 just got em on today. Gonna run em for about 8 hrs tomorrow in possibly muddy stuff. So I'll post another video on how good or bad they do. Thanks for watching!!
I just realized you meant hrs on the skid steer itself. Duh. Well when I got it, it had 3500 hrs. Hr meter quit 4 or 5 years ago. So lord only knows how many hrs are on it now. I love the machine. It picks up more than any other I had. Buy that arm setup rattles alot. And I've replaced all the pins amd bushings and it changed nothing
cut that underside you marked so the bottom horizontal part is still attached and just bend it up and weld it to the angled cut. Saves metal and prevents a hard edge for if you're backing up and something just so happens to hit that corner. wont be any sharp edge or weld for it to snag.
I was gonna do that, but I'd have to be on my back for a while or bending over. Soooo, since I'm all old and shit now, it's faster to just whack it off and weld a piece of 4 inch flatbar in it. Then it'll act like a skid too
@oldironfinder lmao been a little time since Bruner I guess.
@3lbtrigger been a long time. Dude I'm 54. Been working out in the heat almost all my life. Bruner was one job where I got to work inside. Haha
@@oldironfinder I couldn't even imagine having to work outside all day!!!
Well, bills gotta get paid. Plus I always need money to buy these projects for youtube videos.
Subscribed!!!
Thanks brother!!
@@oldironfinder you got it, appreciate you brother! Thanks for adding good knowledge to the truck conversation!
@@GrubNGas Anytime!
Hey, I noticed that FL250 on the trailer, I got one of those. And I ran with your video of the Leese Neville alternator/welder and got it to work. Fried the diodes twice before putting in an external diode. Works great now. I'll find your other video and explain more on that.
Sweet!!!
Damn seen her on trailer but wow

Man brother I’ve been waiting for a video like this for a while !! Thanks I’m try to get it fixed tomorrow
@@beanie-zo9pk you're welcome. Let me know if you need any help
a variac voltage aduster has alot more windings. it will likely give infinite adjustment. that is a variac in a cruder form.
@blueelectricfusion ill check into that. Thanks!!
I had a hydraulic line come out of the fitting on the right side drive motor. I don’t see anyway to remove the line from the pump. There is just no room. This line goes from the pump to the drive motor. Any ideas?
@CobraGuy-ox2le let me look at mine and see how I can help u. I'm on vacation for a few days, but will look when I get back!!
Alot of times, you just have to remove other lines first (after marking how they go) to get to the one that needs replacing. It sucks, but that's how they make these things so compact. (And same reason dealers charge so much to fix! Haha)
Good project...Any idea how old it is...?
@@josephleister9198 Thanks! No, no idea how old yet. Gonna look up serial number when I get back home from Arizona. From what I've read, the 2nd gen diesels are more powerful and more desirable. So we shall see. Thanks for watching!!
You need to do a youtube search for hercules d2300
Will do. Thanks!!! And Thanks for watching!!!
Have a very similar if not the same model engine in my Oliver track loader. D2300 is what my engine model is ( it's not the one that was factory in the oc96 but it's what my father put in it in the 80s came off a Lincoln welder I believe.but you see em on military surplus stuff too like bomb loaders ect ect
@Buzz-vz2js Thats cool. I haven't seen alot of these little engines. I Hope I van get it running!! Thanks for watching
Interesting, wonder why the cam is setup for 1243 firing order? Normally labeled 1342 for most inline 4 cylinders.
@toydoctor88 I'm not sure. I'm in Arizona today and tomorrow, but hopefully, I'll be starting on it very soon. But I'll record everything so yall don't miss nuthin!! Thanks for watching!
@@toydoctor88 Allis Chalmers also used the 1-2-4-3 firing order.
That looks like a fun project. Funky looking injection pump. If need be, it could be rebuilt. I'm lucky enough to be within half hour of a company that rebuilds pumps. The guy that does it rebuilds any diesel pump under the sun. Its crazy seeing what he has on the workbench at times.
That's awesome. I think most of this engine is just gonna be getting things to move again.
a 1g milk jug cap should fit that oil fill tube, once it heats up itll fit like a glove. small piece of steel screen slathered with JB weld will patch that hole in pan real good- ive patched up gas tanks with jb, dont worry about it breaking down and melting. i keep a pack of kitchen sink faucet screens with my JB, can patch just about anything. sweet find. been in a townhouse for like 8 years- my tinkering has been severely hampered in that time.. finally just moved into a place with a nice big garage, looking for something similar to build one fckin monster of a low speed rock crawling kart/buggy with some snazzy articulating axles n shit.
Well, if everything plays out right, I'll go ahead and take pan off, knock dents out, and go ahead and weld up that hole. It's pretty small,
Sounds like you'll have your hands full with that project. Good luck and have fun!
Can you show how to remove the lift arm cylinder?
@CobraGuy-ox2le yes. Ill make another video showing that. Give me a few days
What’s the estimated value of a 1986 GMC 7000 with 77k miles?
@TyeManning depends alot on location, which engine, interior, etc. Lots of factors
My Dad watched your video and liked it. He said it probably isn't air assist, because there is no air compressor. Hope yall get to bullshit one of these days. He really likes troubleshooting equipment as well.
@@MistyAcres-h7u vacuum assist. Runs off vacuum of the engine like a car or truck.
Yummy
Itll gag a maggot! That was pretty rough. I had to just throw away my hat and my clothes.
Some info please !
@@louisgassens.7039 I've got another video with more info. Go check out my channel for more info. I might have a diagram lying around. Ill see if I cam find it and post it
A good ol 4.4 Liter six
@@MrThatnativeguy I love these old inline sixes. They will run forever!
Badass trying to rebuild one myself hope if I have question u can help me out
@elmaracorda1075 can do brother!
I feel your pain, some days it seems like every mechanical system I use has something broken.
Amen! I think I finally got it going though. Fingers crossed!
bless you 😂
Thank you!! Hah
I need that nose cone off that sears hood
Sorry. I already sold the frame and body to another guy. Only thing I have left is the engine
Fairly easy to get replacement belts?
Yes. They are a standard size
I'll have to double check, but I believe its a 1"x30" I looked em up and you can get em at just about any place, maybe even harbor freight
@@oldironfinder Thanks for the help I ended up ordering one
You wont be disappointed. I love mine. I chose just the attachment because I have plenty of grinders.
It uses 1.5x30 belts. I hope that helps
Looks good. flat earth industries
Good name for a trench bucket company! Haha.
ah yes, nothing quite like a little centrifugal dauber nest attack!! lmao. next question, you gonna use it or sell it?
Probably sell. Don't really have a use for it
Straight to the point
Heck yea!!!!
Good catch there!
Yes sir. They coulda went south quick
Did you manage to stop it?
Yes. Closed off air intake. Had dirty injectors and injectors pump rack was stuck
That almost became bad.
You ain't kiddin!!!!
AAHHHHHHHHH shit! Lol thank god you stopped the guy from throwing the shop rag in there. Hopefully it was a valuable learning moment for him. . .that rag would have caused massive damage.
Oh god. Dude was about to put a rag in there. Luckyly The other guy acted quickly and saved this enginge from further damage. Good Job
Exactly! I had a small plastic container handy for just that reason. He was about to make a bad mistake!!
@@oldironfinder Did you find the cause of the runaway?
@hawksights yes. Injectors stuck. Got 2 freed up and gonna have the third one unstuck later this morning hopefully. I'm gonna have a long form video of this setup from where I first got it to where it's running and ready to go. I may have it uploaded to youtube later today or tomorrow.
It's up and running. Amd not running away. Haha. Got injectors/rack freed up and works perfectly!
Cop. Shots fired shots fired… backup. You there. I repeat are you there…
you control volts by spinning engine faster.
And on the last one, I had a different pulley setup that worked alot better. This one is OK for small thin stuff
yup. different pulley .. differet rpm of alt. hmmm. drimmel a key way on the shaft to make pulley swapping easy?? allows you not to have to rev. engine higher. though likely only benefit for large projects where you will stick with same volt amp for hours.
Maybe. I wonder if one of those torque convertor clutches would work with a handle throttle? Might be work looking into. You cam get those cheap on ebay
Good luck I thank we all still looking for a nut here and there lol😂
You must live in a very dry climate as it’s in very good condition.
It is. And usually we are pretty dry. Hard to tell now though with the pretty much non stop rain for a month
@@oldironfinder I’ve just inherited a MF 35 but the tinware is a bit worse for ware. Mind you, I live on the SW coast of Ireland where it never stops raining haha
Yea, yall do get lots of rain. Of course, we have here lately too. I'm in north tx. And we've been getting hammered with rain, high winds, flooding, and tornadoes. But it's about to stop and then we will be begging for rain. So howdy from Texas and have a good one brother!
Would love to know how long it was able to self sustain
I would say forever unless power went out. Haha
@@oldironfinder Oh you had it hooked up to power lol I must have missed that. Perpetual motion obviously doesn’t exist but I have seen simple machines similar to this that where able to generate some amount of electricity.
Yea. I made this video just for fun. I may make another one later with a much bigger flywheel. I kinda believe these will work to a point. But eventually they will stop unless some outside force is exerted on them to keep em moving.
@@oldironfinder I’ve always been interested in the concept as well. Technically in a way hydroelectric systems are perpetual unless acted on by an outside force and the earths rotation around the sun would be perpetual to most humans however both will obviously not function in perpetuity as the sun will eventually die and water flow changes. Even though “perpetual motion” isn’t technically possible in my mind if it functions for your entire lifetime it was perpetual for you haha.
Yes. I've always liked this concept too. I think it would be feasible. To a point. Even if you had something to run for x amount of time and then had an outside force act on it to get it going, you're technically still getting some "free" motion, which could be energy. Especially with enough flywheel. In my opinion
Question... how hard is it to remove the original engine from this unit? I have a 440B that only has 485b hours on it but needs a new stater and a new starter.
You got the single cylinder kohler? If so, it's really easy to get out. Should just be the choke and throttle cables, one belt, the 4 mounting bolts and battery cables.
And yes they are amphibious
Thats kool. I figured if it had a plug in it, that it would indeed go on water. But there's nothing definitive online about em that says so. I just assumed. And of course, I'm gonna make sure mine does. Haha. I'll probably mount a bilge pump in it just in case!
My brother owned one of those. We had a blast with both land and water
cool im ordering it Right Now!
You wont be disappointed! I love it!!
