Hamiltonville Farm where r from u guys got some beautiful places where u guys shoot these videos
Hey Lucas! We are close to Panama City Beach FL👍
Thanks for the shoutout in your video haha
Lucas Perttu o POP ooo point out is pooooooooooooo
Ooo
I spent 25 years working on this Cat stuff. You guys are a hoot.Wish I lived closer.
Thanks brother. We'd love to have you down! Thanks for watching
I love you guys! MY WIFE DOESN'T THOUGH. I obsess over your videos and I will watch them non stop until either I fall asleep or my wife chases me out of the garage. Keep up the great content gentlemen. I am currently bingewatching your videos for a third time! And Hank, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your Daddy. Thank you for sharing what I'm sure was a very hard memory to share with us regarding the manner your Daddy passed away. ALSO THANKYOU FOR SHARING WALLY WITH THE WORLD. HE ALWAYS PUTS A SMILE ON MY FACE!
It'd be worth asking your CAT dealer about their "classic parts" line. That component may be available for order. It'd be great to get that old dozer working again; I'd love to have a D4D!
Thanks brother 👍
If there's a shop with a wire edm and a lathe that part can be easily replicated.
The university I went to had the gear and we made that stuff a lot.
Ether and glow plugs are definitely a bad idea. I knew the old thing would start. Nothing like the old iron. That would be an awesome dozer to fix and get going again.
Yeah for sure. Thanks for watching DMax👍
@@HamiltonvilleFarm I was about to say the same thing, Ether OR Glow, never both. Ether alone used in moderation won't actually do any harm. Glad you didn't take that shower the exhaust was threatening lol
Those old machines need glow plugs for at least a minute when cold. New glow plugs act a lot faster.
Ether and glow plugs are fine. Just make sure you don't hit the ether before you start cranking it. Heat the plugs, crank, spray. And make sure to crank it for a few seconds after you're done spraying before you repeat the process. Our John Deere 9 series tractors have ether injection, which is worth its weight in gold. Just hit a button on the column. No getting out of the cab when it's 20 below with 20 mph winds.
Enjoyed this video Hank and crew. Always good to see old equipment start after years of not being used. Y'all are getting better at this.
Thanks Terry. I appreciate you buddy. Have a good day 👍
That old Cat runs great, love the sound of those old Cat diesels, great video Hank!
Thanks brother. This one was fun to do👍
That thing is a blast from the past and still love the color on that thing. Great job Hank, I cannot wait to get back to Kansas I know I will have questions all day long. Have a great one battle and stay safe!!!
Thanks for taking the time to watch and make the comment. I truly appreciate it! Have a good day.
I like the will it start videos. Never know what you're getting into while trying to get these old equipment started
Thanks for watching!
Just to let you know that you have viewers in Brazil and we love your show...good job!
Thanks for taking the time to watch and make the comment. I truly appreciate it! Have a good day.
2 of my favorite CZcams guys in 1 video. Hank & Tony wow what a great night!!!
Lol. Tony is half way decent 😂😂 thanks for watching James👍
HEY FRIEND I AM FROM GREECE I HAVE ONE GRADER GALION MODEL 1977 IT IS SO GOOD YOU ARE AN EXPERT WITH THESE MASHINES I HAVE A LOT MASHINES AND THE GALION ITS SUPER GREETINGS FRIEND FROM GREECE YEAHHHH!!!!!
Thanks for watching 👍
I'd be real surprised if CAT doesn't have that gear. CAT is real supportive of their machines even old ones and they made lots of D4C and D4D.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and make the comment. I truly appreciate it! Have a good day.
I agree but I have a d4d and whatever they have on the shelf is what they have and it's starting to be slim pickings
That’s one heck of a comprehensive safety cage
Never liked using startin fluid, I had a great way of starting diesels you need 3 more tools elbow size rubber gloves , gas and some rags . Soak the rags in gas put them around the air cleaner , make sure the filter is on so not to suck the rags into the engine the fumes from the gas will start the engine . That way you don't head the heavy pounding of the rods trying to compress the starting fluid saves bending a rod , fun videos enjoy watching 👍
Thanks Dale. I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment 👍
I learned something from this comment.
My friend got an old chinese Tractor and we can only get it running with start spray.
Spray too much into the intake and it KNOCKS like crazy.
We sure wont do that anymore!
Many years ago one of my friends told me that some one else had a problem just like yours. The people who owned the dozer dug a huge deep hole and pushed it into the hole and hurried the Bulldozer. That was up around New Washington Indiana.
Machine out the broken spline press another in and weld it . Machine a grove inside and relieve the splines where broken weld up the area remachine a relief where welded . It can be saved
Thanks for watching 👍
I know that tractor well. That tractor was one of the first tractors I ever loaded up on a transport.
Right on man👍
I also use wd 40, just don't use either with the glow plug or you can blow the exhaust manifold off it.my hair was standing up on my neck when I see the k oxygen cyl with no cap on it. I had one fall over and I jumped on it before it took off, I don't want to see you or any one get hurt I think the world of you Mark
Thanks Mark. I appreciate that. You gotta be careful that's for sure.
your welcome
That story reminds me of Slim Pickens haha
What you need to do is remove the seal housing first then gouge out both sides of the splined collar. make sure you realign the splines and tack weld it. Let it cool. Then you have to heat it all around reasonably hot, then arc weld with high nickel rod. keep the heat on until you finish welding it. then let it air cool and you should be right.
Thanks
I am buying a long sitting inoperable D4D this week. It is under cover and supposedly runs. I can only hope my D4D starts and runs this easily. We are scheduled to pick it up this weekend. I also hope we can manhandle it onto our trailer.
Good luck! You can do it 👍👍
here there are many CATs in old quarry areas (marble mountains. Italy) i always loved to seesomeone let them wake up
Hey Hank, we used to call a crescent wrench a Mexican socket set,lol! It's still funny . lol
found this 4 /28/ 21 O boy , First thing New fuel and filters ! Second thing YOU KIDDING ? Cat tractor dealer Or salvage yard ? YOU CAN FIND THOSE PARTS ! Or another D4D and use this machine for parts . Thanks for this video.
Thanks for watching
Caterpillar D4D sitting there long time awesome video get the engine running good condition heavy equipment construction workers for highways bulidings bless you advice is keep it big investment
Thanks Craig. They just don't make them like that anymore 👍
I see you have a fold over binder too. There’s no stopping you now
I reckon you should try and get it fixed and up and running again it would be a shame to let the old machines disappear and that's just wear and tear considering the hard work it was doing. It would be great to see going again ❤👌👍
Thanks for taking the time to watch and make the comment. I truly appreciate it! Have a good day.
you Guyz are having loads of fun
its infectuous‼️‼️😳
🪖
I love the video I love that you showed you can start that thing with simple tools thank you and have a happy Easter!
Damon
Thanks Damon. I appreciate that. Happy Easter brother 👍
I think you should get a harbor freight leaf blower to help clean the leaves and dust off things before you start working on them
Wes just sent me. Immediately Subscribed. Looking forward to your adventures! I have to go back and finish Wes's video. Nice to meet you, Sir!
Welcome aboard! We hope you enjoy the content!
Watching some old videos tonight- we didn't know hank could move that fast 💨
That was cool. I couldn't believe that old girl fired up. Keep it up I love these vids
Thanks for taking the time to watch and make the comment. I truly appreciate it! Have a good day.
LOL Very funny crew work video !!! I hope that you will find that missing part !!! Cheers !!!
Thanks for taking the time to watch and make the comment. I truly appreciate it! Have a good day.
I believe a good machine shop could weld and machine the sprocket gear.
Thanks for watching 👍
Love hearing the old cat purr. Them headlights with cage frame are worth some money.
It was a hard runner for a long time👍
Viewers fom Sweden love you guys!
Thanks!
Look at Tilly’s in Australia it’s a cat wrecking yard that has heaps of d4d parts and very cheap
Thanks for the info 👍
@@HamiltonvilleFarm Tillys crawler parts are in my home town (Toowoomba Queensland Australia) if you want me to go look at something let me no
Barry Forster u
Cat D4D bulldozers are a great bulldozers
Wow. Pretty fancy tool kit; a real ball peen hammer, not the claw hammer I used to fix my 1949 D4 7U with. Mine had an electric start pony motor that every removable component on the tractor was built around. Yours did good with no smoke on cold start even after all that time sleeping. Keep on keepin' on bring that old iron back awake.
Lol. We big time here 😂
There's a lot of old dozer down here in Tennessee settings I think you can find what you are looking for
Thanks for the tip Thomas 👍
Pistol Farms so much old heavy machinery up in the mountains just rotting away
Use WD40 instead of starting fluid. You can run a diesel on WD40 without damaging the engine.
Thanks Gil. We have used that in the past👍
How does ether damage a Diesel engine ?
@Spencer Sand B.S. Starting fluid burns at a higher rate and produces higher pressures in diesel engines and as such can, and has, broken pistons, heads, valves, blocks. I have seen it when I worked in the shop of a construction company. It's no fun pulling the engine out of a 235 excavator because someone used starting fluid.
Thanks for video.
She sounded good once it was running,
Major air in pump and lines no doubt.
Did u ever get a viewer to find sprocket.
Caterpillar should give you one for the views you get but they don't care I suppose, they have a museum already.
we found one we should be getting soon. thanks for watching!
@@HamiltonvilleFarm Thats great news, love watching them get going and move onto a truck for someone to cherish them , like a new life I guess there not lonely anymore.
Such great satisfaction for some reason , I don't know why.
Thanks looking forward the adventure
Cat D4D bulldozers are a great bulldozer to have
Thanks for watching 👍
@@HamiltonvilleFarm Keep up the great videos
@@HamiltonvilleFarm My father has a Cat D4D
God bless and THANK YOU
Soy Nicaragua muy buenos los vid3os son muy instructivos me gusta mucho ver esos vídeos de mecánica me anima a estar reparando mis camiones bendiciones
Thanks for watching
Really cool trucks tractors and dozer
Thanks Jiggy. Appreciate it 👍
Great jobs👍, awesome start old machine👏, funny crew😂.... good luck to you all GENTLEMEN💪
Thanks 👍
A few people who posses shapers could machine another internally splined coupler, such as the one you need, in 4140, heat treat it and you would have what you need. How much to charge or what could be bartered is the question. Three days machine time.
Weld it from the inside then file it down to match the spline, grind a bevel first so it will take a lot of weld.
Cool thanks 👍
Always enjoy the videos hank! You can move pretty fast! Lol 😂 that speed will help you when you get bees!
Hey, not bad for a fat old guy😂😂
I have to believe that gear can be welded and then machined so the oil seal will work.
May be. We are looking into some options. Thanks for the comment Mickey
If y’all like fix’n shows, maybe you’ve heard of the Red Green Show. It’s on CZcams. Enjoy you fellers!
Love the red green show !
Always fun getting out and doing stuff with this bunch of guys!
You da man👍
You should see a vocational school with a machine shop and have them attempt to repair that sprocket ! Some kid about 17 would benefit emencely
Good idea!
@@HamiltonvilleFarm a vocational school is such a great thing for young adults to learn trades . Building small engine auto body auto mechanic machine shop or industrial maintenance drafting nursing accounting it goes on but we need it , we should have more effort put in growing vocational schools for all !
a few years back I worked in a place that could have repaired that . I worked the big pieces for them 4600lb hydraulic cylinders . If machine that drive gear out and press in a already splined cylinder or blank then weld it solid machine off the weld and if the seal seat got warped I’d weld that area up and machine it to . The seal just keeps out debris and keeps the splines clean . It’s not doin 40 down the line !
You guys put out some really cool videos
Thanks Donald. We appreciate that. Have a good one 👍
I know they aren't that old but it would be cool to see those little white service trucks in the backround be worked on and rescued. This was a great video, I love these. Take it easy and have a good one!
We probably will do those one day. We've talked about it. Thanks Noah!
@@HamiltonvilleFarm anytime
Man, Where do you find these things? Looks like you are having a blast getting them started. Good Luck finding your part.
Thank you, We sure do have fun on them. Take care!
once it s running,its ok to use the glow plugs some more...thats how we done did it in the winter
Thanks for watching 👍
The D4 sprocket...could it welded, then placed in a machine shop lathe and the seal grove be re-cut to original specs? I used to be a tool and die guy many moons ago. I'm thinking this might be a practical fix with the parts being obsolete.
Right on. Thanks for the comment 👍
The starting fluid is not as bad as no water, steam is water and counts as the precombustion chambers on cat are to the side and cook fairly fast but can be taken out and replace with the head on as there is three rubber O rings there I'm thinking... I remember the eight sided socket that fits up like a torque socket on the inside stid of the outside like normal stuff and they get twisted in to eight hundred foot pounds of torque. I have seen twenty foot pieces of pipe on inch drive to get them out when you don't have a power multiplier.
Gotcha. You gotta be careful for sure
The old stuff is the best stuff cause it don't take much cause no electronics all mechanical and made in the usa!🇺🇸😎👍💪
You got that right👍👍👍
You should clean up that old railroad jack that was behind the dozer. I have a couple of those, and they have all kinds of uses.
If you want to know where to find a part for the dozer there's a place in pilot mtn called Johnny ray Lynch construction and they have a bunch of old dozers and might have the part you need 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Thanks 👍
@@HamiltonvilleFarm I forgot to mention that the place was in n.c.you can look it up on Google maps
so get another sprocket from the machinery wreckers or cat new bearings and seal bout 2 days work and done
Right on Tony. Thanks 👍
Great job. More importantly, you all looked like you were all having a fun time.
Thanks Brad. Always enjoy hanging out with these guys. Take care.
Another good one y’all!! I was hoping for a snake up in that tractor.. 🤣
Lol. I wasn't 😳😂
I would think you would have checked the fuel filters before trying to start it
Yeah if it wouldn't have started, that would've been a definite step to do👍
That should be the same final drive off a 941 and 41b should help on your search if not that 3304 runs pretty good sounds like would bring pretty good they were put in all types of cat machinery over the years.
Thanks Hayden. I appreciate that👍
Great job it’s looked like you had a lot of fun thanks for the content and keeping us from being bored during quarantine
Yeah man you bet. Have a good one👍 be safe
I have a few in one here 1st thing is didn't need no same ecm. 2 is yea the eighter. I dont like it myself, n not that heavy. I'd rather open the fuel up full n crank on it w light starting aid. N 3rd is the best. There was a guy out west my pops dealt with long ago for our Td 9 cat. We got ahold of 2 used track sets rollers for both sides, and 1 idler. Gaffney I think was his last name. I went out with a 86 1 ton ford 350 with 300 6 cyl 4 SPD stake body on it. Ohh man 4.11 finals what a ride. Well look folks have fun. I wish I could join your crowd I'd enjoy alot of things.
Right on👍 thanks for watching 👍
Good job guys love this video.
Thank you. We appreciate you watching
You boys are good we love to watch you thanks so much
Thanks Ross. We appreciate it 👍
Yeah, Wes sent me over with a plier and a screw driver, but can see you guys managed to start er' up. Like that "Snap-On guys can enjoy their Snap-Ons". Lol
Thanks for watching 👍 welcome!
Remember - no smoke, no fuel. Lay you heavy odds that the local CAT dealer has that in stock. The Sea Bee Uncle has one just like that but it's still running. With a winch. Do yall remain calm and THANKS for this one. Old school will always go! GBWYall from us Tarheels!
Thanks Lewie. Hope you have a good day 👍
@@HamiltonvilleFarm You too Pal and a Jesus weekend!
Yes sir. Happy Easter. May God bless you. Thankful for this weekend and what it represents.
@@HamiltonvilleFarm We're all in the Lords hands, whether we admit it or not.
Lose the ether and get WD40, it even works on gas engines
Yeah, we've used that before too. Thanks for watching 👍
@Spencer Sand Screws up the rings.
@Spencer Sand it will blow your pistons apart around the ring area.
Cant beat a piece of rag soaked in diesel on the end of a wire, alight, gently hold it around the intake on a cold day while cranking, will start straight away.
@@grumpystruckshop3807 with a good knot in the rag, would suck into Intake but in a mesh screen be a good idea.
Will keep that in mind next time
Zimmerman tractor in Versailles Missouri has parts for a d-4d
Need a Part 2 video where you get it moving again!

Hi Guys do enjoy your video's, you boys crack me up with the tool kit ? the favourite tool seems to be the Russian spanner (aka the hammer) keep on fixing em up, ATB Wayne UK.
Thanks Wayne. Cheers 👍 be safe over there
Check with Carter Machinery. They’re a Cat dealer but they also have quite a few used parts. Heck, they were able to restore a 1950s D2 with what they had.
Thanks 👍
Hi I am Indian I watch your all videos
Thank you. We appreciate you.
Love your videos, yall are some good lookn guys
Thanks for watching!

Those were lots of them abandon so what were you do after over haul it be possible collection machine ❤️👍
We help people sell them
I used to work for a guy who had a no either policy. If you were caught using either to start an engine (even on a cold day) it was an automatic termination
Thanks for watching 👍
That is one fine machine
Thanks for watching 👍
@@HamiltonvilleFarm always pleasure to watch fun and laughter! Cheers
Great video Hank, motley crew for sure.😄😄😄
Thanks for watching Jason. I always appreciate your comments
Another interesting video 👍
Thank you for watching Tommy 👍
Love to hear old iron come back to life. Liked,shared. All my best.
Thanks Bobby. It's a lot of fun for sure.
Foi as primeiras máquinas que eu recuperei e retomei
Thanks for watching
Great content, entertaining and informative. Greetings from Trinidad West Indies
Thanks!
You guys are to funny but you got it running, thanks again!!!🍒👍
Thanks Larry 👍
Been really enjoying your videos. Tried to find the sprocket using what numbers i can see in the video. I can see what looks like 5452. When i look that up i find a sprocket PN 7k5481 which says it interchanges with PN 7k5452. Thinking that is your original PN. Not sure if that helps but did see some sites that sold it. Even one on Ebay. Would love to see this old girl up and moving again.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and make the comment. I truly appreciate it! Have a good day.
Great job fellas!
Thanks buddy 👍
Oh yes you have the standard farm tool.
greay work i like bull dozers
👍
Good job guys
Thank you 👍 we appreciate you watching!
I can still get parts for my '36 D6 2H so a sprocket for this can't be that hard, lots of these out there.
Yeah they're out there. Thanks 👍
Yes
I do like these videos... Subscribed
Thanks a lot Richard. We appreciate the support. Take care 👍
It's a cat older one. They allways start. Bet you can find a gear for that. Be cool to see it move again. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Gary. Yeah these things are fun👍
