  • Buying an early ~1970ish John Deere Straight 450 track loader with a host of problems. Attempting to work on it for 4 years and finally it gets a home in my new shop where it will be brought back to life.

    When I discovered Andrew Camarata's channel I thought this was the best you could find on CZcams, until it led me to your channel (When you helped him with the flipped crane) and now I know I struck gold. Your set of skills is out of this world for a young guy like you. Kudos for that. With the way you deal with problems, you inspire people like me to tackle things I would consider very intimidating until I see someone else doing it. Then I feel much more confident in my abilities. Thanks for everything and keep the videos coming.

    Ole Frank Jennings should be ashamed of himself for not maintaining his equipment 😡

    Excellent video and the most patient man ever. Great job. Many more videos please, we’re begging you. We love the fact that you don’t stand in front of the camera all the time like some CZcamsrs.

    Jesse you should put an air cylinder from harbour freight on your engine stand, it'll make your life a hell of a lot better I promise.

    You’re breaking my back here. Keep your eyes open for a good heavy rolling gantry/hoist. It will save you when your children are grown.

    Your nice new shop now needs a crane, lol. Thanks for take the time to share this battle with us, especially the fact that you gave up and picked it back up again, we all need a reminder that life is like that at times. You might also get a sponsorship from PB blaster after this video.

    It's always been a dream to have some old timer point me toward a barn find and tell me that I can have it if I can get it running.

    Jesse, I worked for IH in R&D as well as teaching in their service school in the late 1960 early 1970's. You brought back so many memories of back in the day out in all weathers removing and replacing those darn clutches and break pads. Also had a few final drive units go like you have on this machine. The IH had the same system and many of the same parts as JD used, made it more economically sound as if they kept the cost down then they could discount better terms to the customer. Changing over to hydrostatic gears and wet clutches was a dream come true for our service guys.. The best part with your video was at the end and my hands were still clean. Looking forward to your big journey on the metal hunt and where you found them as well as the finished product as I admire the way you always keep the equipment clean as you can whilst working on them and your paint finish is good too. Stay safe keep well and spend down time with the family.
