- I bought this 12 ton, 6 wheel grader for scrap metal value a few months ago. When I got it home I found it had a broken drive chain and it needed a lot of maintenance and repairs.
I installed a new chain and spent a few weeks fixing it up, It runs pretty sweet now. Time to grade my driveway.. - Jak na to + styl
"Bit More Choke, that would've started" (5:33) Been watching a while now and if your now following along you just might miss the best chuckles of the entire series! Awesome Mate, keep it up. :)
Oh, an old Leyland 401 Engine. My granddad built these things at the British Leyland plant in Coventry, Warwickshire, England. He worked at the plant before Leyland took it over when the British motor industry was nationalised after WWII. He first worked on the Leyland Engine line from 1953 until his retirement in 1977. I grew up in Coventry, a city that had 16 different car manufacturers, Rolls Royce Engines, Armstrong, Massey Ferguson, Standard, CAT and some smaller parts companies.
I remember as a kid, my granddad appeared to live in his garage at the front of their house, he was always in there. He always had at least two engines in bits and a cigarette in the corner of his mouth. When he died, the parts we found in the back and along the roof storage, well, some of them were from before WWII. Still pristine and in their original boxes. He taught all the grandsons how to strip an engine, fabricate the parts and even use some hose sheets to make up perished pipes.
Hey! Thanks for sharing! Thats interesting!
Recycling at its best! First an abandoned excavator. Then an abandoned dozer. Then an old grader....All restored to working order. Every man's dream to operate heavy earth-moving equipment!! It's a pleasure to watch someone with the skills bring it all back to life!
My mechanical apprenticeship from 16-28 years old was on farm machinery, we did all sorts, then moved onto Land Rover products and now self employed and 52. When at home, I watch you on a dinnertime ( in Yorkshire mid-day food time or lunch to some people) because they are half hour long and you WILL always learn something from watching / working with other people, before going back outside to your own work.
Today, at 5.36 i learnt that a mouth full of sandwich can fly 3 feet and hit the PC screen, slide down and land on your desk.

@@coolkiwi79 Had to google that! Haha.
"Ma(i)n high voltage Power supply " indeed😁
My Brits friend Mary once told me that she always gets a kick out of these signs that Little Villages put up here in Germany. Reading "Gute Fahrt" , - which translates roughly into " God speed". I guess she is right! Now I can't UNsee it as well😂
"A bit more choke and that would have started" That's a new one. I laughed my arse off, I'm definitely using that one now!
So true....Oh that make me LMAO!!
Laughed so hard I damn near threw up!
Wouldn't have started to much shit in the carby.
I did the same not heard that one but I'm going to use it
Too good Marty
All you need is a steamroller to compact the road!! Enjoyable your work. 😁👍🏻🇦🇺
Mustie1 doesn’t hold a candle to Marty. Marty your passion alone is infectious and will service your needs forever.
From this 59 y.o. hill-billy from Maryland USA: I'm pretty sure I will be saying "That'tll do me!" when working on things and its "good enough" Love this channel. It reminds me of Vise Grip Garage, but with old heavy equipment instead of cars.
I don't know why, but the voice of an Australian man narrating his labor is both educational and easy on the ears.

He's from New Zealand.
From a 54 year old Georgia (usa) hillbilly, I thoroughly enjoy each and every video, Marty. Keep up the good work!
58 year old fellow Georgia hillbilly. 😁
54 year old fellow Georgia hillbilly. 😁
55 year old Scot and I enjoy the videos to
Pennsylvania hillbilly right here and I too love every video he makes . Just calm and gets stuff fixed
I feel left out, I’m 19 and thoroughly enjoy the videos
Ahhhh. A Friday night in America watching a man from New Zealand change the filters and fluids on his grader and then testing out his handiwork on his driveway.
That is going to be one of the smoothest, clear and accessible driveways in the region when you get done accumulating equipment.
Lol. yeah all the way to the highway
Next up, a bed of crushed rock, compacted with a steam roller.
Great one you had me on the floor for a while!!
New tires & paint she will be a beauty. I can not explain the satisfaction I receive from watching you analyze and repair. Nice work. 👍🏻
maybe some glass/durable plastic for the windscreen to help avoid being impaled by trees
You buying the tires?
Always baffles me when simple maintenance is not done to a piece of equipment that probably cost a small fortune (quite) some time ago. Same for the excavator. Awesome job, superb video, stunning landscape!
the best part is getting your own road after all those hard work!
Now all you need is an old roller and your driveway will look like a highway, Great video Marty.
I still love that snail hood ornament.
We should call this grader, "Rusty Snail". : P
Clear Perspex cover.... that sir is bloody genius 👍🏽
Until you stand on it getting out of the cab. I'm guessing it'll only be on there for a few more engine hours though.
@@RangieNZ It wont break standing on it.
You are a mighty man with the grease gun…I always say that you never know how many grease points are on a machine until you own it
From a 67 year old woman that loves old machinery you are an awesome young man keep it up!
It must be handy to have the knowledge to take a machine others consider as scrap and rebuild it to a fully working machine again.A very impressive video showing this guys degree of intelligence and skill.
Love vids where old iron gets way neglected maintenance. Can just hear that old Grader saying "Thank you for the service, oil, and grease Marty!! I didn't want to be melted down and turned into a Toyota!"
76 Toyotas lol
I have seen so many over the years with the whole no service or even clean fuel and it still put in a days work. I am so proud of what you do to these neglected pieces. I suppose that now that you know she's a keeper and what, that a degreasing, a hottsy sounds bout right but elbow grease works. I like the fact that you warn a guy to back away as those silent killers are the worst, just need a greasy piece of paper to confirm what your thinking. I worked with a guy who's wife worked at a burrito joint and he must of ate her mistakes or something was seriously wrong with the guy. I seen him and just waved as that was a close as I could take. I really do see paint on this old tractor in the paint brush style as it would somewhat cover the mist and then a piece of window here and there as getting slapped with a wet branch is just not in the fun book. It takes most people who run them years to perfect that trade as it is a very unappreciated talent!! By the time they are really good at crowning and pulling ditchlines, they retire. One old guy who ran this one particular route had mostly single lane when he started but when he was through, two lanes with some wide turn outs. He was really good and then Our county maintenance fellow made him retire as he was in his seventies.
What a rambling mess of drivel.
If youre not on meth while you typed thar I’d be incredibly surprised
Marty, you are a stud when it comes to these old machines!!!
You are giving it a good service which it hasn't had for a long, long time. I bet she's pleased..!
Talking about the missus again, eh?
@@chriswills9530 ...
I really enjoy how calm your voice is.
Yes me too, Marty rarely loose's his cool . top bloke
Your are a very hard worker. Great to see someone do everything necessary to get these machines working.
Dude..... That's awesome!! Now the driveway can be maintained sooo much easier. Awesomeness!!
Remarkably good shape for it's obvious age and intensive use. You never finds trophies like this in Canada or the USA rust belt that haven't been destroyed by salt.
Meh...but that grader's lookin' pretty good, tho...
@@cattmann1405 ...you know that grader is in New Zealand, right ?
@@deeess4832 …..maybe.....yes....where I was going had nothing to do with it's location so what did I miss?....did I just insult all New Zealanders now?
Right even if it's doesn't see any salt just the winter and the constant freezing screws everything up I live in MN and it's almost impossible to find anything that say outside that's decent even if it was in a shed the clay has do much moisture in it it really doesn't matter that it was inside.
Your a lucky guy to live in such a freaking beautiful country.
You can live there too, Joker. Just apply for permanent residence and move over there. I lived there temporarily, and I plan to return. The good thing is, there are no snakes, spiders (apart from the Redback) and crocodiles in New Zealand. You get into the forest in Australia and you risk your life...
Looking at the sheer amount of serious long term neglect I'm surprised that the previous owner could even be bothered to drive the bloody thing. This is a very satisfying video, thank you.
For a first time driver youre a natural. Great fi ished surface on the lower pieces. Great to watch. All your hard work is bearinh good fruit Marty.
Well done ! Marty you’ve done a fantastic job on this old grader hope to see it operating in future videos !! Cheers
Your videos rock. Very entertaining, and encouraging as well. Nice to see others who like to save and fix old stuff!
Marty rightly named the "Diesel Doctor" and that is a compliment! He is amazing at fixing this old equipment up keeping it from the scrap yard.
Back in the late 70's my dads job got one of these graders brand new, it came with another blade in the rear. A few years later I had to drive the graders like this including Champion grader from site to site for the foreman, his way of getting me my introduction to machine operation, Now operating Cat M12, Love graders.😍
A new sub from up in the Waikato here, I am 66 and first time I have heard that reference to your passing of wind. Have watched a few of your awesome videos and still a few to catch up on. Stay safe down your way bro
Passing of wind, I thought I heard it too lol. But haven't found reference yet
Really like your videos, keep them coming, learn lots from each one, you've got a great attitude about fixing things
So I'm 54 years old now and both my parents grew up on cotton farms in south Texas, El Campo and Blessing, TX area. Both sides of the family grew up having to fix/maintain their own combines, tractors and other heavy equipment and although I wasn't a part of that era, my Dad passed a lot of his knowledge on down to me for which I will be forever grateful. I have nowhere the skills you do but can appreciate each and every step you take in your functional restorations. Love your videos mate! New sub and like from Tulsa, OK USA. As many others have stated, I'll be using the "little more choke" comment at my first opportunity.
Thank you Marty. Watching your videos and Camarata makes me feel like I got some work done. haha
Nice work, it's going to run so well you'll want to add racing stripes! I like to hear the birds in the background, nothing like them here at home.
Thoroughly enjoy your relaxed manner and how you commentate on your videos and the way you get things done is inspiring. Your country is beautiful. Thank you so much from Wales UK.
You are incredible. I can't tell you how satisfying it is for a cheapskate like me to see old iron put back into service. That's why the vehicles I drive are all around 30 years old.
Marty your ingenuity is ingenious! Love your work man. It's enough to give lesser men inferiority complex!
Marty's first mini-series. I love it! He'll have the best driveway on both islands after this past year.
This content is pure gold. You are making the other CZcamsrs look bad. The old girl is greased up, and ready to go!
You definitely have to watch Andrew Camarata his content is great and he built his own castle.
Always look forward to your videos, you inspire me to keep going on my projects. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
The car shell wall at 28:19 is pretty cool.
Thanks for your videos.
An easy way to keep track of your services is to write the date and hours on each filter housing. Regards Billy from S A
The ones he took off were dated as well.
now that's some great work!...i bet that grader is so happy you bought it and brought it back to life. also, love that front gate, very cool.
Absolutely love your videos, your ability to find fix and use old and unique machines keeps me wanting to watch more 👍
@Marty T , I don’t know how I stumbled across your channel. I find your videos incredibly calming, even meditative. Thank you for sharing your stories and the images of beautiful NZ. 🙏🙂
Luv' comin' back here to see you work your magic...so enjoyable! TRULY @ the top of your game! Piece of mind that your equipment is so well maintained. Wish I lived nearby so you could maintain my fleet!
Always a nice feeling having fresh oil in your machine, even if watching on the internet and not even my machine! :)
The view from your gate is amazing. Good eye on picking the grader. You have a great machine now for quite a while. Thank you for your vids.
I love how informative you are on how you do maintenance. Its nice to see how its properly done
Never give it too much choke trust me you don't want it to "start"
Glen , What do you mean by 'Start ' That's a follow through .Difference between a fart and a crap is the fart and follow through and has lumps in it .
@Bubble O Bill LMFAO SMH and still LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Joker_68 ya all talking shit
@@karlhrdylickaI'm guessing cause farts sound like little motors trying to run.
gee the conversation certainly went down hill after that "starter motor" moment

Love these videos Marty, keep it up!
Thank you ! It is so refreshing to see someone take care and show love to old machines this is my Asmr. I do hope that wonderful grader brings you many years of a smooth road ! Kentucky U.S.A
Old Galion with a Cummins? Applaud your resourcefulness and use of expedients.
5:32 hands down the best moment on the internet
Damn barking spider! My house is full of them.
Here is a little trick i learned many years ago. When you need to assemble a housing or heavy cover or big wheels with bolts instead of stud, i would cut the head of two longer bolts with the same size and thread pitch and sharpen the and to a rounded point. I would then before assembly screw in my two modified bolts at 180deg apart and use them as guide for the housing, wheel,or heavy cover. This will aline me with the other holes to put bolts in. Once bolted i would remove my modified bolts and voila job done with less cursing LOL.Oh one more i would also bore a small hole (1/4in.) near the end of my modified bolts for easy instal and removal with a small punch.
This is also how you install engine sumps that you just put fresh silicon on.
Prevents it sliding around till you get the first bolts in
That method also works a treat for aligning transmissions, way better than fumbling around with bolts.
You are a very good mechanic and I really enjoy how you explain your work!! Thanks for showing it in detail.
As an apprentice I used to make parts for these things between 1969 and 1972. Our company British Jeffrey Diamond had the copyright and the machine was sold under the name "Wakefield" after I left the company it was sold to an American company "Dresser" . We made 3 prototype "Road Planers" which was a similar looking machine that had rotating drums with picks that chipped up the road surface . All three machines collapsed an axle as they were driven out of the work bay.....they had become far too heavy at a rumoured 60 tons !
"Classic gold" You can hear the ol girl giving a huge sigh of relief after that makeover.
“ Bit more choke and that would have started “ must just be a New Zealand thing judging by the comments 🤣
Aussie saying as well. ;)
@John Murphy me too 🤣
Freaking hilarious 😂
I would say.... thats gonna itch when it dries.
You don't want it running away on ya, though.
Marty is the Mustie of heavy equipment. Very knowlegable and easy to listen to. Thumbs up Marty !
Thanks for giving an old piece of equipment lots of love, and a new life.....Love the video!!!!
The snail definitely makes sence especially after watching the machine work
Dear Marty T.
👍👌👏 Simply fantastic again and as always. Very well done. I could watch this for hours. There is this old saying: If you grease/lubricate well you speed/drive well! You, Sir, definitely greased very well! That good old machine needed and deserved your TLC for sure. Especially after so long not been maintenanced.
Hope that second Diesel filter will arrive soon. In my opinion respectively out of my experience you should flush out all fuel lines and especially the Diesel tank. I can hardly wait to watch the next part.
Thanks a lot for making teaching recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health.
Thats a lot of fluids to keep her running, You show how far a little preventive maintenance can saved you lots down the road, Great video thanks
Unreal!!!!! How good it is that you know how to fix and operate such a machine. It would be really cool if you could restore it to new condition but that would cost a lot of money. Thanks for giving it a second chance at life. 😎😎😎😎😎
Your Neighborhood must LOVE all the Equipment you have! OH, the Possibilities!
Take care,

Sure like your videos Marty, that ol girl found a home with lots of love
It’s amazing these thing run at all in these conditions. Just goes to show how amazing these machines are!! Glad to see it being properly cared for now!
I cant stop watching, your videos are really full filling, there is something about seeing old things get rebuilt and fixed that is really nice and enjoyable to watch, and of course inspiring as bro ~
Hell yea man did a good job glad its back running the way it needs to be
Awesome. So Marty it takes an excavator, a bulldozer and a grader to keep you driveway open! That's off the grid. Great work on some cool machines.
You have to have a good feeling being able to bring the old lady backup to what she was. She probably enjoyed the grease and oil change. Thanks for sharing.
Your videos are so mesmerizing...I'm so hooked I don't know why I was looking for cake recipes and one of this videos popped up, now I can't stop watching 😉👍
Glad you like them!
@@MartyT so sexy, love to watch a handy man at work 😍
I have no use for a machine like that but I still want one after watching this. Great video!! keep em coming :)
I have never heard that "choke joke" before. Classic.
I brought it with me to the US & have been spreading it around here for a while, still gets a good laugh.
Bahahaha, read some of the comments before I started watching. Had no idea what you meant. Lol, hilarious.
@@brent6454 Another one is "sounds like your timing's late Mate!"
I have been impressed with the sound of that old diesel engine, since the first time you started it. It runs so smoothly and has such a great, low, exhaust tone. Another great video and with dead pan, improvised comedy.
“Bit more choke and that would have started.” You sir, have won the internet.
Its hard to convey the sense of satisfaction in reviving - or watching somebody else - an old or neglected bit of kit back to working order. Earth mover, car , bike, stationary engine, whatever. You either get it or you don't I reckon.
I'm behind enemy lines in Calif. Love watching the show man I'm a mechanic by trade and I come home and watch you fix shit lol
I feel like this whole old machinery series is all just a monster driveway building series, great way to show off all your equipment and handy work. Next up we need to see a steam roller and then hey maybe even a conglomerate of asphalt machinery.
Marty T - "our" version of Mustie1! The country style; very little that can't be fixed with some DIY tools, number 8 wire and some perseverance. Well done.
There's something deeply satisfying about bringing an old girl back to fitness for work and those old Leyland diesels are awesome tough nuggety engines.
Time now to give her a wash, degrease and a coat of jam eh?
the old leylands were always a good old motor look after them and they serve you well
I always thought graders were really underpowered when you see the machinery they have to propel. A little dinky engine at the back.
@@briananthony4044 it's gearing doing the work.
Great to see it up and running, perhaps some welded on "forestry style" branch deflectors?
Mount a chainsaw on it... lol
You my friend are one hell of a mechanic I don't think there's anything you cannot fix awesome content as always
Nicely done.
I love seeing old iron given a bit of love and brought back to operating condition.
Old machines still have a lot of life left in them, they just tend to get 'left behind' as newer equipment comes along.
They might not be able to compete on a commercial scale with the newer stuff on an price per hour rate, but for people like you, she'll do a lot of hours of grading for the right price.

TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL! Great deal! If you ever drive it through Washington state stop and do my driveway! hahaha
Nice job on the chain and continued service on that grader. Also.. you have a BEAUTIFUL piece of the world down there.
Now that was the tool for the job!! It's so cool to see the difference in the robustness of industrial parts vs. consumer parts.
28:00 What a beautiful view!
You should take a look at the fuel pump on the side of fuel injection it will have a fuel screen in it and can go bad over time plus hold crap as well.
