@@HamiltonvilleFarm heck yea I had a good feeling... I'm up here in north east Georgia at the SC line
@@HamiltonvilleFarm try tapping the solenoid instead of the starter motor
@@HamiltonvilleFarm Hey i live in LA too, aka Panama City.
I was born/raised in Galion, OH and my dad worked at Galion Iron Works, where these graders were made. I still have memories of going to his office on the weekends, taking home some treasured GALION stickers (the ones applied to these once-mighty machines). I also remember the saying "all roads lead to Galion" because you would see these graders and rollers building roads across America and even in foreign countries (like Saudi Arabia). I'd call/write to my dad whenever I saw one while I was in the Army. They were also used to plow snow. Imagine hearing these iron beasts rolling down your street at o-dark-thirty after a snow storm! I'm not sure if my dad (who's 80 now) has seen this and other videos like it, but I'd like to thank those of you who painstakingly restore these wonderful machines, which are part of our American history.
That's a cool story 👍 thanks for sharing.
Nice memories, the first grader I ever ran was a Galion. I've also run Galion rollers. I worked for the Virginia DOT and pushed snow with a grade too. With a V- plow on the front I could move a lot of snow.i never thought about where they were built or the people who built them.
that’s awesome!!! i love hearing peoples stories like that
@@HamiltonvilleFarm where u guys at. I'm in Marietta ohio
One thing to point out with the starter. That solenoid has a magnetic coil in it that engages the gear to the flywheel. If you just jump the high current relay, without giving the coil power, it won't engage. You need to short out the small lead, not the two large ones.
It was so frustrating to watch them beat on the starter. I found myself yelling at the screen!
My hometown had a fleet of graders that they used for snow removal. As a kid I loved to watch them do their stuff. I hope you get it back to work. Good luck!
Yeah, some hoses and belts I think we can! I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment 👍
Since I was small, road graders have been my favorite piece of heavy equipment. They are just super cool to me!
👍
Love to see this old equipment come back to life
Yeah for sure. It was a cool feeling to hear it fire up. Preciate ya bud. 👍
Same
Me too
I'm So glad you guys are trying to save machinery. It really makes sense to save something if you can. Instead of just taking it to the scrapyard!😃
Yeah CJ for sure. Stay tuned to Sunday night for an update.
I love seeing old equipment like this coming back to life!! 👍👍
Thanks CJ👍
I salvaged one exactly like this in Cap Haitien Haiti for a customer a few years ago. The one I worked on was about 15 years older and had a Detroit 471 engine. It had sat so long I had to replace every inch of electrical wiring and most of the rubber hydraulic hoses. Took about 3 days total to do that job.
Wow that's cool👍
I love these videos, you always here about people finding these old machines in the woods, good to see you got this one started.
Right on. Thanks Joey. I appreciate you
@@HamiltonvilleFarm do you get this machines for free or you buy them?
Sam, we traded another piece of equipment for this one 👍
@@HamiltonvilleFarm I wish to visit your garage, am so much impressed bro.
คดารพบ
I know that was a great feeling to get it running. Awesome job. Can’t beat a old international engine.
Yeah it was a pretty cool feeling. Very rewarding. Thanks for the comment 👍
Cool
That started better than one on a job site over the weekend... the magic of TV
Lol
Has always had a good to have something to cover up the Breather when you can't get them to stop running or just case they run away
Yeah we actually took a 2x6 to cover it and in our excitement we forgot to get it out of the bed of the truck😁👍
❤❤
That's right, with a diesel always make sure you can stop it before you start it.
Man I loved hearing that thing crank up it’s music to my ears
You and me both. I was really happy👍
I'm a 22 year old girl and I accidentally stumbled upon this video but I was so happy that it started 😂
Welcome 😊 we're glad you liked it. Have a great day and be safe👍
Hello angel brother God is helping you to find equipment that you can use for your farm God is so good all the time
Hello Hank this is from David Hodges this is my only believe I believe when you find old equipment that said blessing from heaven to bless your farm God bless you the wonderful family in Jesus name
On a diesel, especially, don't try to start the engine, before you know, for sure, the best way to kill it, and and are prepared to use it. Coolant is a good idea, also, even if you have to drain it, before you leave the sight. I grinned, big time, when it started right up, and purred like a kitten. Great video.
Yeah, we actually had a wood block to cover the air intake and in all our excitement forgot about it. 😳 Thanks for watching 👍 have a good day!
Yall come up with the neatest stuff. IH made Galion for YEARS! The outside levers are for the blade sides, right outside lever to work the right side and the outside left for the left. I ran one like that YEARS ago but it had a Cummins in it but the automatic was different. Seems like it had a manual hi/lo and an automatic hi/lo and fwd and rev. 3 levers instead of 2. It'll do you proud when the rust gets fixed and'll make a smooth road! I had to subscribe to see how all this is going. THANKS from an old worn out driver and operator!
That's cool. Thanks for the info. I appreciate that👍
@@HamiltonvilleFarm About all your graders are set up the same way with the blade controls but A/C had both the blade lift levers right together on the right hand. Maybe the old Deers too. It's been a long time.
@@HamiltonvilleFarm I ran an OLD Gallion that had an IH- UD engine (started on gas and the switched to diesel) that was swapped out for a 4-71 Detroit/GM. It had 6 forward gears and 2 reverses on one stick. You had to go all the way out of high range and up into lo and then back across BUT the stick would fall out of the socket and lock the brake pedal so you couldn't get the brakes on. It was blamed sure interesting! And many gray hairs later..............
Galion Iron Works made Galion graders. Probably used a lot of IH engines.
@@ohgary All the old diesels were UD power plants but the later ones could be Cummins or Detroit/GM's. Probably some gas jobs but I never saw one.
Man, exciting to see it actually start! I have two dead tractors with major issues and you get a machine running right there in the field!
It was really good to hear it fire up. Thanks for the comment 👍
"we are not mechanics, we just understand principles",, so you beat the hell out if it with a hammer! LOL that was great! :)
Way to go Hank!! I was cheering for you! I’m amazed y’all started that and I have to pull my chainsaw 45 times and I used it yesterday!
Whoo hoo👍👍
We have an old grader that judging bu the technology is older than that thing. It has even taken care of and looks nicer though. There is a leak in the brake line so we have no brakes and you can’t kill the engine from thei cab throttle like your supposed to but it still runs and we use it a lot. When we first got it, we couldn’t find the switch for the throttle on the engine so to shut it off you dug the blade down, throttled down, put it in 4h, and popped the clutch. It has a Detroit engine in it and I believe it is from some sort of Adams company or something like that. It is all PTO’s running from the lever to the thing it runs. Fun machine that we love.
Cool story. Thanks for sharing 👍
So had the dozer clearing an area for the tools just to use a crescent wrench, screwdriver and hammer! 😳😂
lol. That is funny now that I think about it.
Don’t forget the batteries lol
Lol
Nice. You guys got it started and that engine sounds solid. No knocks, pings, or smoke. Enjoyed the full video, guys. 👍
Thanks Don. It did sound good. That's the first time in years that thing turned over. Pretty impressive
@@HamiltonvilleFarm It sure was impressive, Hank. It's even better when it started after you guys gave it a few love taps. I've had to do that with starters. The brushes seize. Gives you a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. Have a fine week.
Love the vids there always so peaceful and kind and an inspiration u made me want to be a macanhic
Right on👍 thanks for watching!
I love this stuff. Me and my dad won an old Austin western at an auction for 25 Bucks and just got it running this week and as soon as we can get some usable tires on it we are driving it home
That's cool👍👍
The lady said it has been there for 20 years
Brought the whole tool trailer out just to use the crescent wrench 😂
But if we didnt we would have need the whole shebang 😂 have a good one brother 👍
And a 2lb persuader don for get
Yep 👍
/
@@HamiltonvilleFarm truest truth.
Hank, the best way to gain experience is by hands on. You guys will get one heck of an education working on these old girls. Western Truck and Tractor Repair has some great videos on equipment repair and I have watched a few to get my memory back.
I've learned so much already it's crazy. I appreciate you bud👍
it was so painful to watch them hammer on the starter when there not jumping the starter solenoid but the starter motor. you MUST jump the small wire over to the power not the large post. I'm hopping it gets sorted in the end.
Thanks for watching
Good to see an old motor grader be brought back to life 👍
Yes sir. Thank you for the comment 👍
If I had a nickle for every time I heard somebody say "It ran when it was parked". lol
Lol. I hear ya brother 😁
@@HamiltonvilleFarm ما
👍
always a lie hahha ... aka needs overhaul.
Thx for the video 😎
Fuel pump died in my dad's Scag and that was the tried and true method right there... Beat it in the right spots a few times and boom it has been more than a year working fine xD
Right on👍 thanks for the comment!
“We are not mechanics here”- Nooo say it ain’t so Vern!
Tried to warn you😁 thanks for watching
KNOW WHAT I MEEN, VERN?
Since all your followers like this old equipment maybe somebody can help me locate a pair of bolt-on extensions for an old ARPS blade. Really enjoy watching you guys give these old machines new life
Hope you can find one👍
That starter is a pre-engaged type, crossing the solenoid will only ever spin the motor, you need to find the third (small) terminal and cross the power to that and it'll engage properly then... Edit- haha you got her in the end then.
Right on. Preciate the tip 👍 have a good one!
“New life NOW” !!! Love it !!
Hammering on a starter that spins is a good way to break it. Never hit the center of the end plate, it covers the bearing.
Oh well, some people are just lucky. Hope it holds out and you can get it to do some work for you.
Yeah we got lucky it didn't break. We learned some lessons on this one.
Ran one in the 90s on a ranch near masterson,Tx. Not a bad machine. Better than a dresser
Thanks Jimmy. I appreciate the comment 👍
Dang it started like u ran it yesterday I'm surprised I'm glad it hit
Yeah it really surprised me too. It ran smooth as it could be. 👍
@@HamiltonvilleFarm yep this with a little TLC will make a great machine
Equipment like that and to have it rust away, is a shame you can use the motor for a generator
There is no bendix on that starter motor, the solenoid engages the starter sprocket as well as supplying the power to the motor so needs to be energised. “We are not mechanics.” You’re right there.
Thanks for watching
The last T-400 I operated had a 250hp Cummins, the one before had a 4-71 Detroit. The Cummins had so much power for the size the company put a scraper push block on the front, it worked too. If the starter Spins why beat on it? The solenoids stuck (tap) on it while turning the starter. The two end controls are the left/right blade lift. Second from the right is wheel lean to load the machine wheels need to be verticals. DO NOT run with no water & water pump that head Gasket WILL blow IH was famous for it. ChiefD
Thanks for the comment brother! I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment 👍
Awesome video, i love videos on fixing diesel power equipment. 👍👍
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 👍 we appreciate it!
The parts in that engine are screaming "OIL! We finally have some oil!"
Yeah I hear ya 👍
Great engine in that either a d407 or d361 some of IHS best most reliable engines made and the turbo versions were amazing
And more than likely I will guarantee you'll will have fuel pump issues with the engine dying and either you'll have to send the rosa master pump out to be rebuilt or get the updated part yourself it's a one piece and make your own timing mark and put all new seals in
👍
I need a motor like that to make a whole house generator.
Yeah man that would be awesome 👍
I’m so happy this video has done so well for you. I know your channel is really going to take off! ~Heather
Thanks Heather. Been praying for you👍
One of those guys laugh and voice sounds just like Popcorn Sutton...
I'll Google him. 😊👍
I've hung out with some of Popcorn's old friends. Guys a true southern legend.
Looking good glad that yall got it running and maybe it can be used once again. God bless stay safe and have a wonderful day
Thank you. God bless. 🙏
@@HamiltonvilleFarm you are welcome and thank you.💙😎🎉👍😁💖
IH engine in that so your in my wheelhouse there lol I have tons of info and books on those and just guessing its a DT360 or a 407 engine so if you have any questions I might be able to help otherwise I suggest you jump on to the Red Power Magazine forum and and ask those guys will know plenty too
Cool thanks AJ. I appreciate that👍
My dad had a similar Galion with a 4 cyl Detroit. That thing was LOUD!
Typical IH engine, they always start up 💪
It was pretty cool to hear it run for the first time in years. Sounded great 👍 thanks for the comment Shane!
Yep, German motor IH used I suspect.
Wes sent me. He said I couldn’t watch another of his videos until I watched one of yours (at least that’s what he should have said). So here I am.
Lol. Welcome. Hope you enjoy the channel
Will never understand why people beat on the starter motor, when the solenoids usually the problem lol
Mechanics around the world have been doing it for years havent they. Lol😁👍
Because on that starter the solenoid was in the case not external
The solenoid was working, the bendix was stuck.
The solenoid pushes the bendix out to engage against the fly wheel. Most starters work that way. Unless it has no solenoid. They can be beat on to work.
Robin Babington no Sir the starter solinoid is clearly external of the starter motor. ChiefD
The Hammer has another name . The Persuader .🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks 😊👍
I really thought I heard you say you were going to pull the, "Tool Truck" up to the grader. Where are the tools?
It was the little white trailer behind the red Dodge. Nothing fancy. Lol. But it works.
Tool truck equal tacklin fuel aka beer wagon
@@andrewmeppen8068 😂👍
Hamiltonville Farm Adjustable wrench and a hammer
Carl Kipke I seen two black kids rebuild an entire Chevy engine with a crescent wrench, a hammer and a pair of pliers. It would have run too except the wooden pistons kept burning up!
Always fun to warch these videos. I aint no mechanic either, but im always rooting for that puff of smoke. Lol
You and me both! Thanks for watching!
Love this vid Hank! And so hilarious reading all the couch potatoe armchair mechanics crying about whether or not to beat on the starter or not AFTER you said y'all weren't mechanics...LOL.. SMH.... I'd done the same thing...and then directly sent voltage like you did. I just can't get enough of these resurrections!! I absolutely will be doing a restoration like this! Matter of fact I have footage of an old guy that restores old dozers on his place in Oregon... I need to put that vid out!
Yes you do👍 thanks man and yeah you get all kinds, but they all mean well. 😊
My Grandad took the solenoid off a starter once cause it was sticking, fixed it with a bit of lube, He just put a bit of oil in there and worked good as new.
That's a good idea 👍
“We ain’t mechanics.” Now how did we know that?
Sometimes we have to state the obvious. 😀
Hamiltonville Farm me neither too
Hey Hank. I decided to watch another for you. I love these kind of videos. I did some some issues there too. I would be happy too that it started. Those diesel engines are so trustworthy.
Thanks Alan👍
“Has a little bit of rust”
Literally missing 40% of body panels
That's for better aerodynamics 😂😂👍 thanks for watching 👍
Awesome job. It's always very satisfying to hear these beasts fire up ! 👍🏻
Thanks for watching 👍 part two is out Sunday!
@@HamiltonvilleFarm Cool :)
Water in the hydraulic fluid when its white in color
Yeah..Def not good.
It sounds really good to...she's a darn good runner...
Right on. Thanks for watching 👍
Some of your camera work gets me dizzy. Hold it steady or have someone else video taping.
Thanks 👍
Nice. Very similar to the T500 I found. It was abandoned. Mine has a 4 cylinder Detroit though.
Cool😁
T400 equipment sitting there long time new battery hope you guys get monster running new tires awesome video friend bless you stay warm
Thank you. I appreciate the comment 👍
now that is totally awesome video about your galion t400 road grader .. can't wait to see more about your galion t400 road grader with new update on it just asking
Thanks a lot. We appreciate you watching 👍
Now this is a cool Channel, alot different than the car videos. Being a truck driver I see this kind of equipment sitting out all the time and always wonder what it would take to get it going.
Right on
Thanks for filming
Thank you.
14:14 best part. "We got it runnin', now we don't know how to cut it off". Haha
Lol. In all our excitement we forgot we had a board to put over the breather😳🤦🏻♂️😂
Stopped in from Watching Wes Work...looks like a great project!
Thanks. Welcome 👍 hope you enjoy the channel
Great video... On my old Galion 104B in the cab, the throttle lever also works as the fuel shutoff if you push it all the way forward to shut down the machine.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and make the comment. I truly appreciate it! Have a good day.
All these videos and no ones gone with "Aint got no Gas in it!"
The far right lever is the right lift cylinder control. Cool old grader you got
Thanks Kevin! I appreciate you watching 👍
Hey Hank! Shes a beauty! You cant replicate that patina! She looks good and sounds great!
It's very aero dynamic 😂😂
@@HamiltonvilleFarm lol
Hi man I huge fan of the vids here,s a tip if your keys stuck use a shifter to turn it
Unbelievable it started that easy!!! I would never get that lucky..
We were stoked👍 thanks y'all!
I love old vehicles keep rocking
Thank you!
I’m late to the party here...gotta watch the follow up video. There’s a Galion grader sitting on an abandoned industrial lot off of Route 46 in Pequest, NJ. I found it last Fall (2020) riding rail trails up there. It’s in a bit better condition than this one...I’d love to see it running. I love these machines...great work, guys! Love your videos!
Thanks for watching!
Good old internationals start right up every time
Thanks for watching 👍
Glad to see yall got the ole gal runnin Hank !
Thanks David. It was cool to hear it run
Awesome hearing it fire up for the first time in years. Cool video bud
Thanks Brian. It was pretty cool. I think they said it had been like 4-5 years depending on who you believed. But indeed was fun to hear it👍
That "brake line" was a grease point for a hidden fitting,graders had a ton of greases fittings.
Been along time since I operated a motorgrader. That was one of the ones i learned on. Smallest komatsu dozer I operated in the mines was a D375A
That's cool Ed. Enjoyed the live stream the other night when y'all were guests. Take care brother
Shortcuts. If the injection pump has a mechanical shutoff, make sure it works, moves. Then just Hotwire at the starter to get it to crank.
14:50 ist wohl der "American dream" das man den kaputten Hydraulikschlauch so richtig plätschern lässt😂😂😉
Thanks for watching
I'm always amazed that these machines start on really old fuel
U guys are GREAT mechanics💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪👍🏽
Thanks for taking the time to watch and make the comment. I truly appreciate it! Have a good day.
Diesel fuel is more expensive than gasoline by 30-50 cents a gallon, so I'm not sure if there's a real savings because you're paying for the efficiency, but I love old Diesels. You only need to get fuel to them, and you'll get them running, no computers, sensors, or safety gadgets. Beautiful!
Yeah the old ones sure are nice. I like them a lot. Thanks for watching!
Really love your videos you in Wylie do a wonderful job I think the best so far concerning will it start
I appreciate that. Thank you
Wow I can't believe that thing started like that. Awesome
It was really cool to hear it crank up. For sure. 👍
Almost 2 MILLION VIEWS!!
Crazy huh???
Great videos you guys are good fun to watch with your have a go attitude I have watched most or all your video's ,I wish I could drive down the road and find a old machine abandoned to have a go at repairing , keep up the good work , Cheers from UK.
Cheers. Thanks for watching 👍
200 years ago people with your attitude would be called scientitts haha, I love it
Yeah you're right. 👍
Ничего себе, еще и движок живой! Поздравляю! Молодцы! 👍😷
Thanks for watching 👍
Winner winner chicken dinner good job😆
Thanks Mary. It was fun to hear it run for the first time in years. 👍
Oh my bad I hadn't watched the whole entire video at the point of leaving my giant adjustable comment & then at 11:50 he says he's not a mechanic, so now it makes sense, I like principles too, there's a right tool for the right job & I like to make things run, Don't get me wrong I do like you're video
It's all good David. I appreciate you watching 👍 have a good day and stay safe!
My dad owned a tractor repair shop. The 2 quotes I heard him say the most......”Get a bigger hammer.” & “I’d like to meet the s.o.b. that designed this.”
I'm sure its already been said but most larger starters use the solenoids movement action inside the starter assembly to push the connecting wheel up to the flywheel of the engine rather than use centrifugal force like in smaller starters.... so when they were engaging the motor manually it was spinning idly in the starters case while the solenoid actually mechanically moves the gear into the proper position for engagement
Thanks for watching
