Nice Video, Matt is the American Version of Matthias , right ? Which is cool as I’m also called Matthias.. as a German I’m always wonder how it is possible that you haul a whole Doozer or other heavy stuff behind your Truck as in Germany whe are limited to 3,5 metric tones for the whole Car + Trailer combination .. for more whe need Semi Trucks, Unimogs, or something and a higher Driving Licence , merry Christmas in Advance , Greetings Matthias
Check the governor gap and the balance on the injectors
Hallo. Es hat keinen Sinn, diese Frage zu stellen. Ich frage viele Male amerikanische CZcamsr, bekomme aber nie eine Antwort. Ich denke, dass die meisten gegen das Gesetz verstoßen. Frohe Weihnachten. Grüße aus Großbritannien
The valvetrain jumping around under the cover was just that Detroit showing you how excited it was to get a chance to go back to work.
That made me legit laugh out loud 😂😂😂
It was so excited it piddled a little oil too.
Right 😂
New rule for Matt, always check the valve cover
Now a part of the pre flight checklist…. or soon to be added
😂
Especially if it's been apart check everything
Buyer beware, do full prostate exam before turning engine over. 😅😅
(Matt will remember that)
Cold start process, crank with full throttle,stop crank when white smoke appears. Allow fuel to condense and create a better compression seal,maybe 3 or 4 minutes, and then start normally. I live in Alaska and have been using this method for years.
Yes, I definitely noticed that helped with this. I had to cut out the dead time in the edit though. But that’s exactly how it was getting it to start.
Does that trick only work on two stroke diesels or any diesel engine?
@@3dprintedhardware it works on all of them
Good to know.
Wonder if it would've started quicker if you had filled the filter cannisters? Great little engines, congrats on getting her running
Nice to see the snatch block , most people just straight line pull and wonder why their cable snaps
I agree with oil technology having greatly been improved since the 60s. I too run multi weight oil in everything.
Multigrade (weight) oils contain detergents that keep contaminants in suspension so the full flow oil filter can remove them. Old engines relied on the crud settling into the sump or some sort of screen. You should only use multigrade when you have a paper element filter.
Quite correct about the multi-grade oil Matt, it was SAE30 many years ago when Detroit wrote the manuals and the early multi-grades made significant ash. I had another designed oil-burner to worry about and spent a while on the phone to various big name oil labs getting the story.
It's not a problem now, 15W-40 in a Detroit is fine.
I'm going to agree with you on this. Multi is fine at this point.
Running 15W40 in my 671 genset.
To my knowledge there are no multi grade engine oils that are CF-II certified/rated. That said Detroit is very specific about oil weight and ambient temperature in their TSB’s. I worked as a mechanic for a concrete company for a couple of years many moons ago and we ran multi grade engine oil in all of the Cummins and Mack engines but all of the trucks with 8v71’s and 8v92’s were feed Delo 100 30W in the winter and 40W in the summer. The company tried running 15w40 in three 8v71 trucks and they held respectable oil pressure and the coolant temperature never was a problem as long as the ambient temperature didn’t climb above 70 however once the ambient temperature rose above 80 we noticed the oil pressure and coolant temperatures increased above the trucks that were running Delo 100. The multi-weight oil experiment ended during July when the high temperature for the day were in the mid 90’s and all three trucks started having oil pressure issues that went away once we dumped the 15w40 and filled the engines with Delo 100 40w. Mind you I am not saying engine oil technology has not advanced since then because we all know they have but the engine technology for 2-Stroke Detroit Diesel engines have not and because of that I still firmly believe that straight weight CF-II certified/rated oil’s are the best choice for these engines. All that said you do what you think you should do and I will do what I think I should do
API says that CI-4 or CH-4 can be used in lieu of CF-II. See www.api.org/~/media/files/oil-and-natural-gas/engine%20oil/motor_oil_guide_2010_120210.pdf?la=en
@@gullreefclub Good testament, thank you.
WOW! My dad had one that he dragged a half mile out of overgrown brush that had been parked for 15 years. He rebuilt it and used it on small jobs and it was the first machine he taught me to run when I was about 11. I loved that machine and to this day I can close my eyes and picture every control. You will love it- it's a sweet machine!
I agree with your oil theory. I’ve been in the mechanic business for over 40 years and because of technology, oils have become better and the recommendations in the manuals have been changing. The iron / steel doesn’t care. It just wants the best oil you can give it. That’s my opinion.
Thanks for the adventure again. I look forward for your vids. 👍
I agree oil technology has made major advances especially in the past 20 years. That said oil certification/ratings still matters and is why the API has these ratings and to my knowledge there are no multi-weight oils with the CF-II certification/rating that is specified for 2-Stroke Detroit Diesels. Additionally advancements in engine oil went hand and hand with advancements in engine design and efficiency. That said the 71 series engine first roared to life in 1938 and production ended in 1995 or there abouts. The 92 series production was 1974 to 1995, the 110 series 1945-1965 and the 149 series 1967-1999. My point for the production run dates is to show that while engine oils have advanced the technology that designed and built these engines has not. Just look at the piston ring metallurgy, tension, and design of a modern diesel engine and that of a 2-stoke Detroit much less piston to cylinder clearance and main and rod bearing clearances and least we forget that 2-stroke engine is going to contaminate it’s engine oil with fuel and particulate matter much faster than any 4-stroke engine regardless of when it was designed and built. That said my experience with 2-stoke Detroits is limited to mostly to the 8v71 and the 8v92 and when I was first starting out as a mechanic many moons ago the company I was working for tried 14w40 oil three of their Detroit powered trucks and during the winter the trucks performed fine and their oil pressure and temperature were fine however once summer came around and temperatures were in the high 80 to mid 90’s oil pressure, temperature and coolant temperature as well as oil usage became at the very least concerning but after dumping the 15w40 and replacing it with Delo 100 40W those issues went away.
All of my ramblings above said at the end of the day I will do what I will do and you can do what you want to do. Additionally my post was not meant to start a war of words but rather me expressing my personal opinion and experiences. Have a nice day and a better tomorrow.
@@gullreefclubAgreed. The book says straight 30W with low ash content, but since I run my 71 series only during the summer months, I also use Delo 100 40W.
Yep totally missed an ad chance for t6.
I agree 100% with Matt's statements on engine oil, he's the expert in my book. I think the reason why people get upset about engine oil is because of stories like what happened with my grandfather's car - a 1954 Mercury. He always ran it with straight 30W oil, then one time a family member changed oil for him and used 10W30. It cleaned out the engine too much, and it never ran right after. I think it used a LOT of oil. After that he bought a brand new 1968 Ford pickup (for about $2500, we found the receipt after he passed away in 1979). But like it's been said, that was another time, and engines and oil technology have changed since then.
Even a cheap 10w40 15w40 diesel oil is miles better than the stuff they had even just 30-40 years ago.
The european ACEA specification in particular has high quality standards because all the automakers there are obsessed with long life intervals like 20.000 miles or so and their additive packages and choice of base oil reflect that.
HEY! Good morning everyone and thumbs UP to Matt and Diesel Creek! It is now going to be an awesome Sunday! Let me get a fresh cup of Coffee and enjoy this!!
I worked with a man who bought a hd5 brand new in 1950 right after he got outta the army at 22. It was $7000 with the dozer blade added to it. To this day its still on the farm still works amazingly and will surprise how well it works. He new everything about it even the serial number the day he passed
Matt you made me a happy ole timer!! the HD 5 was the first machine I ever ran and learned how to operate with. that machine started my 50 year career as a heavy equipment operator. that machine even though it has a small engine did a lot of work in its time. the one I ran had a scarifier on the back, wow that machine brings back a lot of good memories for me thank you so much for rescueing it!!!!
The first time Matt ran the bucket tilt an saw the amount of slop in every pin. I immediately imagined his voice say “I’m sure that’s fine”. Apparently i’ve been watching this channel too long, but I’m not going to stop
Good morning DC, I love watching you save these great pieces of old iron. Keep up the great work.
Matt a man much smarter than me who saw way too many engines destroyed by lack of oil said. Any oil is better than no oil.
I hear you on the Multi-weight oil issue. But I have done some research. The problem is not the weight of the oil, but the use of detergents. Detergent in oil additives should make the oil 'creep' into tight places, and it also collects abrasive particles and carries them to the filter, extending engine life. Detroit Diesels have exhaust ports in the sleeves, where rings ride past them. The rings pick up carbon, as well as tar from unburned oil, and this combination helps create a seal to keep engine oil out of the combustion chamber.
Multi-weight oils(especially newer ones) have additives to prevent the oil from creating gums or tars when mixed with carbon. The Detergent in multi-weight oil tries to scrub the gummy tar from the rings on a Detroit. When this tar is not present, the engine will consume oil... if it cannot burn it, it will blow it out the exhaust.
I have run Detroit engines with multi-weight detergent oil when in a pinch. Without fail, within a few hours of heavy work, the exhaust will start to spit a rain of oil all over the machine. Replace the oil with 30w non-detergent, and it will be a few hours before it stops spitting oil.
Maybe somebody else has some other explanation, but this is what I was taught, and what I experienced. The engines I experienced this with were all 53 series - a 3-53, a4-53, and a 6V-53, but I have seen it happen with sawmill engines on a 3-71 and a 6-71 as well as a 6-110, and an 8V-92.
Very nice save. It must be my OCD Swiss heritage that gives me an overwhelming urge to cleanup, repair, and paint all of Matt's machines. 😉
Good timing. Appreciate the uploads Matt.💪 got the 450c in the shop, pulled the 6 way valve, waiting for new seals, fluid changes, hose changes. Will be nice to have zero leaks on this thing. Excellent shop entertainment while I toil.
I gotta say I'm much more interested in these channels when they sell the things they save. It's great that you dig some old vehicle out of the woods or a barn and make it function again, but what''s the difference if it just sits in your field next. Sell them off and let someone else enjoy them now that you've brought it this far. Good work Matt.
Well said 🇬🇧
This is why I steer clear of all those "will it run videos". It's completely irrelevant if you can get an old engine running - it's generally not that hard unless it's rusted solid - if it's then just put aside and we never see what happens afterwards. And that's besides most those videos are made by people who only show the succeses and don't tell the whole story. Glad Matt shows us the whole thing, no matter if it's a good or bad ending
When I was about 12 I went with my father to work on an HD5 out in a farmer’s field. We replaced the head, I don’t know about all the fancy tools but we got it going and I got to drive it out of the field. That was the first time I got to operate a piece of equipment, and it was like an addiction that I have never been able to get enough! Lol
You got it running, and that little engine runs well. Nice work.
Neat tractor. That F450 really came in clutch to help you hauling more projects home nowadays. You really put it to work.
Can't be a good weekend without Matt's new video about some machine! Cheers
It goes real far when a person tells the whole truth. Not just a half truth, thank you for being that one person. I really enjoyed watching you fix it to where it's functional. Really like your channel. Thank you for sharing! 👌 😊
Matt- You need to adjust the RACK. That will make sure both cylinders are getting the same amount of fuel. You adjust it with the screws on top of the throttle shaft.
Always good practice to check make sure it's free and properly adjusted. Seen way to many cause a runaway due to people improperly adjusting or blowing dirt into the bearings as he just did.
Nothing beats a morning of watching Diesel creek.
OEMT= old equipment, maintenance team.❤ bringing them back to life one at a time. My favorite channel.
Matt, when you made that fuel return line, it was hard to tell any difference from the other lines! I think you did a great job making that line! I used to work at a shop that had a contract with TUG and made tons of lines for them as their tow vehicles are all hydraulic and have hundreds of lines per TUG. We used machine benders and configured them up for each line type. Your skill bending lines by hand is something I admire! Keep up the good work, and great videos! 🥲
Good video content Matt. Content like this is why you are pushing 700,000 subscribers. A worthwhile additions (since you have the gear) Would be a seam powerwash , pulling it into the shop so potential bidders could see it under better light, filming a grease job (shows a lot of detail) putting a temporary battery in it and checking the generator output and showing the gages and/or getting them operational. Then she'd be ready for Ebay. Love your content!😊
Great way to start a Sunday morning. I don't exactly worship Diesel Creek, but I really enjoy Matt's videos and look forward to them.
I worship at the Church of Diesel Creek
😂😉@@dcviper985
Many years ago I represented a helper spring manufacturer. Basically, they come into play only when a heavy load depresses the rear. Dency coli or leafs are $100 more or less.
You always make it look so easy but anyone that’s tried to do what you do in these videos knows just how difficult it is that you are able to do or atleast attempt to do so good on ya! And that’s why it’s always such good content, for me anyway!!!
I agree with your theory on multigrade oil. I had a 1925 crossmotor Case and the manual recommended straight 30 or 10 weight oil. That's all there was back then. I filled it with 15/40 and ran it. One day I notice that the oil pressure was dropping. I took off one of the access hand hole covers and saw that the inside of the engine was spotlessly clean and the oil was a very filthy greyish black. i took off the pan and the oil pump pickup and cleaned them and never had another problem. Keep using multigrade oil and ignore those people who don't know any better.
It's not the multi-grade that does it - it's the detergent and other additives in the oil, and monograde these days is also available with detergent. So, like you wrote, he should ignore you : )
I realize very well that the 15/40 diesel oil is a a high detergent oil.@@frontagulus
For $500 it’s a bargain, let’s hope the cost from here on in will be minimal. As always Matt, beautiful save of old machinery.
Man, I’ve learned so much by watching your videos. Thanks a bunch.
Glad to hear it!
Glad to hear it!
That little 2-71 needs to be wide open almost constantly to make decent power, and considering it's age, and the washed out rings, it was probably doing the best it could! They're fairly cheap to rebuild though, so whoever buys it, needs to take that into consideration.😉
Matt, love your videos. I worked for GM in the 70s and the infamous Detroit "run away" can be caused by a number of factors, one of them being the engine filling up with fuel and pushing up past the rings making the engine take off no matter what you do. Keep up the great work.
The only thing with oils is making sure the bearings and surfaces get the proper additive package they need. But you are 100 percent correct.
Great work getting it running! One of these days would like to see you do a complete rebuild and restore of a classic machine.
Check out his series on the galion road grader. He got that in pretty tip top shape
@@nickgibboni8469This is exactly what I thought of when I saw the original comment. Turned out pretty darned nice, too.
One of the first shovel dozers I've operated along with a International 175. These machines were the go to for house lot development in the 60's, thanks for the memories 👍
Allis Chalmers produced some great equipment back in the day. It would be interesting to see what they'd look like if they had survived until now.
I know it's technically not the same, but they are still around as the Allis Gleaner Co (Agco). I keep saying they need to make throwbacks with the Massey lineup rebranded as AC, Oliver and White's. I'd be a sucker and all over it! If it weren't for different colors, equipment models look the same these days
@@xterradventure They actually still make Massey Ferguson 35 tractors in Africa. I agree, New tractors have so much plastic covers you can't see the engine or anything and they all look the same.
@@xterradventure None of the higher ups at AGCO, will admit Allis Chalmers had anything to do with AGCO.
The Allis Chalmers name was sold off with oil field equipment and Allis Chalmers Energy used that name until 2011.
"Allis-Chalmers Energy was a Houston-based multi-faceted oilfield services company. The company provided services and equipment to oil and natural gas exploration and production companies, both domestically and internationally. It became Archer in 2011 after it merged with Seawell, another oil services/energy company."
@@bluegrallis I think the name was last used on some Persian Orange lawn tractors made by MTD.
AGCO higherups really screwed the pooch when they ended the Ago-Allis brand.
Challenger, Fent and Valtra don't mean anything to me.
@@bluegrallis It wasn't the name, that is the last surviving part, AC had an energy/oil equipment division. That is what that is.
Pro tip: Make sure you put the fitting on the line BEFORE flaring it. Especially when there are bends. Good way to get mad is to spend a lot of time making a line super nice, just to realize you flared it and did not put the fitting on.
Can’t tell you how many times I’ve messed up PVC unions by forgetting to slide the nut on the pipe before cementing the fitting in. If I’m lucky there is enough room to cut the pipe and add a coupling or even better sliding the nut on from the other end. If not, well, another trip to Home Depot and an afternoon of swearing at myself.
Oh I’ve been there! Lol
Another one is forgetting to put the shrink wrap tubing on before soldering a connector. The list goes on and on.
@@markjames8664 But, isn't that why they make liquid electrical tape now, for those that say oops?
If I had a dollar for all the times......
Thanks Matt, you just cheered up a very soggy Sunday here in the UK.
This is old style ,which I love, work on the edge, out in the cold and mud, and a little monster that doesn't want to become a tesla😉😁.
the new workshop is beautiful and very comfortable but these old style videos are another planet , a hug master.👍😉
Your channel has inspired me to fix the broken trucks, cars and machines around my ranch. What a joy to get things straight again. All's it takes is elbow grease, and a lot of money. I already know how to do it, I just needed some gitter dun motivation. A little harder at 66 yrs old than at 46 but whatever. Thanks.
pretty cool seeing these. I know the HD6 was made in my hometown Springfield ILL. the factory has now been bulldozed (pun intended). I drive by the site all the time. I used to see these on railroad flat cars rolling out of the plant in the early 1980s!
No better feeling than a sunday morning in Ontario Canada with a hot coffee and a new diesel creek vida uploaded!
Same here in Western Australia,
Way back in High School, I helped my dad on the construction site. I really loved the Allis-Chalmers HD-11, as it was the last Dozer I used for him. Then he retired. He couldn't have me on payroll, so he 'paid' me with a case of oil for my car. That case lasted several years.('63 Chevy Biscayne, straight 6, 3 on the tree). Anyway, I got pretty good with the HD-11 but that was over 50 years ago. I really enjoy watching you "SAVE" great machines 🙂
I sure like seeing the old machines work 🎉🎉🎉 love your revivals🎉
Good video Matt! Always enjoy watching you save another one from the crusher.
Matt love your commentary as you work through the issues. Your nature and disposition is wonderful! You make turning a wrench look fun!
Great job! Enjoy your videos. Always learn something new watching them. I love that you save this old equipment and give it a good home.
Nice little find. Had a pair of International f 1800Ds with 6v53 detroits. I ran Rotella 15-40 for years. never had an oil related failure.
Thanks again, Matt for the material you present! Always been interested in old or new heavy equipment. Great job reviving another piece of classic machinery! Love It! God bless & Happy Holidays!👍
What a way to start the day . 4:30 A.M and new espisode is floating on the interwebs...Fanbleedingtastic!
So I bought a GMC pickup with the 6.6 diesel in it , the guy told me it had a bad injection in it .i tested them all and they seemed ok. Drove it for a week,no problems at all,oil level was fine.so I used it to go on vacation pulled my 29 foot house trailer with it. 4 hours away I might add! 3 hours in my trip and I noticed black smoke out the back . I got to where I was going,parked for the night. Next morning I checked the oil, way above full . Took it in for an oil change. Told the young fella about the injection problem and he said “ no problem “. In the truck went and here is where the fun began! He pulled that plug and it shot “oil” over the tray and all over the shop . That thing drained for at least 5 minutes as him and his assistant ran around looking for more things to catch the oil in. It was something to watch. Needless to say when I got home it was injected time . Talk about a clean engine inside.spotless . Thought you would like to hear my story! Truck is still running great today.
So a story I heard years ago was Child’s Tractor (Allis dealer in Springfield Mo) took an HD 5 apart in pieces having to cut and reassemble, lowered down 36” mine shaft (might of been larger not sure) in Joplin area lead mines then did several more. Prior to this all mining was done by hand
You and I do EBay differently by the sound of it Matt , my add would read “ near new condition, one careful owner , serviced regularly “ 😂🍻
Best Matt. I can see so much of myself in you from my earlier years. I´m turning 60 soon, and have calmed down a bit about this mechanical love. But i was there....buying lotsa ole crap and got it running. Mostly cars and boats,....and I got a reputation beeing a good repairman, so i was requested for fixing machines at farms around my area. Today i still have a small workshop and doin minor repairs on cars and trailers, etc, and restoring of my own boats keep goin on here. U´re my u-tuber king, Matt. I watch every single video from you. I love seeing them. Best regards from Sweden.
Well i tell you matt you are truly an American treasure. People like you arw why im still proud to have been born in this country and call this my home. Well done !! Merry Christmas and happy new year. God bless you and yours during this most joyfull time of you. And a merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone. May you all be happy and get to spend your days with those you love. From the great state of Iowa.
Wow, thank you!
Ha, he's even a treasure across the Atlantic, providing both entertainment and knowledge on American equipment. Of course we have our own brands here but it's still nice to see a guy wrenching on vehicles and explaining what he does. I have learned a lot from watching Matt's videos 🙂
I think the main issue with this machine must be the loss of fuel prime. I would not blame myself for kind of pooching the starter. Cause once the prime goes the starter follows. So you don't know how long this thing had the issue to begin with. Was worth watching and I do love these special Detroit diesel engine tools.
Great job Matt. Hope someone that has a small farm can use this unit. Great content.
Matt, another great video, and happy that at least you were able to get her running. I hope she can find a good home where someone with the know how of how to make her run better can help her out and actually put her to good use. Here's Hoping..
Love seeing stuff like this saved from the crusher, another good job👍
Matt seeing the smile on your face with your success is worth a thumbs up every time.
P. S. More engines have failed due to no oil rather than the wrong oil.
Nice job Matt
There’s no better way to turn fuel into noise than running a Detroit! Having said that, this adventure reminds me of taking my grandfathers 955 to the steam threshers reunion. Worked all day for the Bucyrus 50B shovel crew moving dirt and carrying coal. Definitely broke a sweat working all those levers. Good enough to be labeled a “cat skinner” by one old timer. I was about 23 at the time. Great video Matt!
I love the oil maintenance and repair videos of scraps. thank you diesel❤🎉
Thank you!
It still amazes me that the unit runs after all its years from sitting and the fan belts survive to this day!! Thanks Matt. Good Holidays to ya.
just when I was about to give up and go to bed because there was nothing to watch! Matt you never fail me :)
Thanks Matt. Great save.
Well, the inside of the engine is clean. Lol.
Going to be interesting to see the video on its sister.
Like you, I would rather see these old machines get repurposed than end up in the scrap pile.
Plus, we get to watch you revive them.
Cheers.
Its much easier to fill the fuel canisters with fuel when changing filters. Makes it easier to get the air out of the system
Matt, you can put whatever oil you want in your equipment because you own it! I agree with you 100%, oil technology is far better than what it was in the 60's. Hopefully this loader goes to a good home and you actually get paid this time 😀.
Curiosity got the best of me. I went to Webster's and looked up "ecstatic" and low and behold there was a picture of Matt starting one of many engines!!!!!! LOL.
One of the best channels on youtube!!! Gets me excited to work on the old machines that i have
Saved another from the final scrap yard for now well done 👍👋🇨🇦
As always good camera work ..
Great information and knowledge .
Keep it coming.
Matt, the military used lots of Detroit's for a reason. I've seen them bury a fleet . Only to come back & blow them off. They were protected to a degree with plastic. Another thing. I worked for Cat my entire career. The company went from @ 6-8 different lubricants in all the machines old and new from gear oil, engine oil to 10-30 in all cases minus hydraulic. Unless it is built into the steel, Detroit's run on 10-30. Most people don't understand multi weight. The additive that makes it multigrade is a molecule that attaches to base oil. Think chains. These chains attach to the oil. The hotter it gets these chains contract increasing the viscosity. It was not an uncommon practice to drain oil and fill with diesel to flush. Get the machine hot, drain, top off with diesel. RUN AT IDLE ONLY 5 MINUTES IDLE ONLY. Not my rules, CAT. I watched a video once, CAT video. Pre turbo engines. Low power low rpm. They had this contraption you put on the intake. You filled a reservoir with Bon Ami or Bartenders friend. ( Like Comet no detergent. Bring the engine to high idle & you opened a valve. This would allow the polishing powder into the intake. & through the cylinders. It works. I never did this procedure but I saw the training vid. You probably couldn't find the vid now. Building a go kart for my son, I bought a smoker at the flea market. Cranked it, let it get hot
Poured Bon Ami in the intake SLOWLY A TEASPOON SLOWLY. IT WENT FROM BLUE TO CLEAR. A desparate man is capable of amazing things. I would NOT attempt this on modern in machinery. I had a mentor, old school at Cat. He was a genius on Cat. Only job he ever had. Taught me a LOT. Try this on something small. ALSO, small sips of water into the intake at high Idle.. Ever see a blown head gasket? The one with the leak looks like brand new. Slow is the key word
You CAN BEND OR BREAK A VALVE if you do it to quick ( read too much carbon leaving) It works. Hope this may help.
Lots of junk out there on CZcams. BUT this is just good wholesome stuff. Thank you.
Thanks for the hard work Matt. Love these detroits. I almost got one bought local. You did a fine job getting to that point. It kinda sounds like the restricted fitting in the return spill to tank may be plugged. Always love your videos.
Great job saving that nice old girl, Matt. Looking forward to updates as you make progress, bringing her back to former glory. Happy holidays from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦
i love the detail u go into when doing the will it run videos
That’s a really cool track loader, thanks for sharing your experience with it. I learn a lot watching your videos.😊
I love this sunday even more !!
Ahhh Sundays with a video from Matt! Cheers from Nova Scotia 🇨🇦
Ontario here!
Matt is just so happy when a machine fires up, a joy to watch!
I have no idea why I choice to watch those , probably because they are such awesome viewing and I am enjoying watching Matt’s farm development over time . Machines like those are not so common place in the UK . Thanks for the channel .
Pour all that "oil" from the change right back in the fuel tank she'll run like a top
I love the sound of the Detroit Diesels!!!
My grandfather died on one of these back in the 70s he was pulling the sheet metal off to work on the engine and he didnt have anything bracing the boom and it came down and crushed him glad to see u using a brace
Another great video - and another example of hard work that makes for an interesting video. The Detroit is a rare thing in the UK really good to see what was under that valve cover - great sound!!!
With you on the job of course it will run. Keep up the videos I Love em.
"Will It Run" videos are the best! 👍👏✨😍
Fargo ND loves your videos. We love the longer videos most of all because they provide longer enjoyment.
The sun always shines in your world... Lovely day for it.
I loved this video Matt.. good camera work, and you took the appropriate amount of time talking about what you are doing and showing it. Well done!
AGREED about the oil. Back in the 1990's I did the research when I worked for a municipality with an extensive list of equipment and I wanted to do away with the extensive amount of different oils both engine and hydraulic/transmission. The results were as you suspected, even the old 2 cycle Detroits were oked to use 15w40 and we also eliminated 5 or 6 different hyd/trans. fluids standardizing on "all purpose tractor/hydraulic oil. The only thing i found was the vehicles calling for 5w oil or 0w should not be converted. Four years ago I switched my 2007 GMC 6 liter to 15w40 the first cold day (below 0 ) I had to switch back NO OIL Presure!
I had to cover my eyes when you crawled under that raised bucket. Great video as always! Thanks for the hard work and content!
It was braced up. Thanks for watching!
Amazing video Matt. Thanks for saving it and getting it running again. Thanks for sharing
So cool, you bringing this "OLD IRON", back to life, MATT!!!!!
Hi Matt! I’d love to watch you collaborate to replace the rods with a lathe! We do enjoy these old restorations
