Only Wes would think to swap the ol' ball cap for a hard hat before off-loading the Oliver...CLASSIC WES! Hilarious!!! Thanks for all that you do. Keep em coming.

That guy is like a kid with a new toy driving around. Brilliant job Wes, every engine wants to run, it just takes the proper person to breath life into them 👏👏👏👏 You the man!!

That pto shaft between the legs looks OSHA approved lol

Used to be loads of little crawlers like this in the UK on most farms . Mostly all scrapped now which is a pity as they make great wee projects that are different from the usual Fergie T10s and 35s. I love this content too for something different but the car stuff is really interesting , especially the fault finding . 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I have an earlier model of this tractor. It has a 4 cylinder flathead Hercules engine, but other than that and the dashboard, it’s pretty much identical. It’s a pretty easy machine to work on. You can have the final drives off in an hour or two. Ours has a dozer blade on the front. Good machine that’s worth fixing for sure. It will pull until it digs a rut a foot deep in hard ground.

$50000 in tools and he adjusts the carb with his pocket knife.

Nice sound after 13 years 😊

Looks like a beauty, similar to my Bristol 25

I sang the "Shake Hands With Danger" song in my head this whole episode.

Outstanding I love heavy duty machine repair. Worked on engines in the military that were so large you could sit in the cylinder.

I like how you used the Victorinox to adjust the idle screw. Cool video

Thanks for all the extra content lately. I know it not only takes time to do the work, but a lot of time to edit it into something watchable. No one on KZfaq owes anyone anything, so thanks for the effort.

I love these old toys. They're well built and can still work after many years!

Those old Olivers are Awesome littld machines...I worked on an old Dozer years ago for a Gentleman and loved every minute of it. LOL. Berween the old stories the old man told and just working on that old iron...Great video that motor runs amazing....

My father bought the same model crawler with a doser blade. His had a shuttle shift trans between the clutch and trans. He rebuilt the engine, lots of torque. My brother still has the machine. The small track rollers had Acme flat head grease fittings. They took 90 weight oil and were changed over to grease. HE made track pins and replaced them. It has done a lot of work since. That is a familiar sound. Thanks

No smoke was the first thing I noticed too. Runs smooth. Yes. That is amazing. 👍

My, what a pretty trailer deck you got there!

You said it wanted to run, the owner did a fantastic job on carburetor, I'm looking forward to seeing you put this machine right

You lucky guy ,you, that crawler looks like a lot of fun!would look nice restored not to mention potentially very useful, I liked it when you put on your yellow hard hat- great pic to autograph LOL!

Love your videos. One day you are Eric from SMA, next day Warren from Western Truck & Tractor. I ran one of those 3cyl Oliver's back in 1974 cleaning and smoothing the beach for a beach club on Long Island. It was a little different, 4 speed trans with reverse plus a forward reverse shuttle box between the trans and driveshaft. I learned a lot about wrenching that summer.

Hahahaha what's with the helmet Wes??! ...🤣... thanks, it again was a pleasure to watch you work Wes🛠👍

The “Crawler Whisperer”! Looking forward to seeing the “real” work begin.👍

The little Oliver is just awesome. Thanks for the video.

This is the kind of video I love. Working on computer cars is boring. Can't wait for part 2

Wes, Thanks for including us on this project! It started off interesting and am sure it will continue to be even more so in the upcoming videos! Get the torch and hoist out. It’s gonna be heavy and hard to get those rusty bolts off. The owner that was driving it seems to be a good guy with excellent machinist skills!

Old #22 is worth saving. That little guy is so cool. Throw it on a tripod and let's get to work Doctor :)

I love farm and construction machinery in that kind of condition, it's like an old and faithful dog with bags of character

I'm pretty pumped for this project. I just love seeing old machinery brought back to life. This one is a winner Wes, be sure to show us all the painful rusty details. Can't wait for the future videos on this!

Fairly easy to work on. Check on the sprockets. I've seen some where people slotted the sprockets. Then all you do pull is the small cover off the outside final cover. Just pull the axle on both sides then the center comes right out. If not you have to split tracks and pull the sprocket off. Even on these things everything fairly heavy. Have fun. I have couple of these things. Really strong machines and reliable. Wish some of the new stuff would be as reliable. Only down fall the 3 cylinder motor is strong but finding rod bearings are not readily available except through one person. Have fun. Neat info. This is one of the few machines ever tested that will almost pull 100 percent of it's own weight. That's saying alot.

Love these “will it run?” videos.

I am very happy you went back to being a mechanomancer! I love your bring it back from death videos.

I'm thinking you made someone very happy.great job on getting it running again.

I am really looking forward to this project. It looks to be a lot of work on your end, which means some really great content for us. Thanks for sharing and taking the time to document it for us.

I love the videos like this. It’s awesome to watch something that’s been sitting for a long period come back to life.

Came back to watch this playlist. Its the series that i found your channel. Still love the little crawlers. Great job as always!!!

Boy that ole 3 cylinder sounds awesome 🤟

I just love these little dozers. I have confidence you will have her running in no time. Sure hope things are not so rusty other things break etc. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for sharing. This is a very big job.

It’s always fun to see grown men laugh like kids whenever they get something to run. We all do it.

great video. Love rusty stuff brought back.

Awesome little crawler, look forward to more.

Wes: outstanding in the field, without a battery.

That crawler wanted to stay on your factory fresh trailer. (I've seen much, much worse.) Great job getting it running. Looking forward to the next one.

You, sir, are the backbone of America....now, all this baby needs is to paint the c-clamps candy-apple red, tuck and roll the seat, and install lake pipes directly off the exhaust manifold and she's ready to haul....haul.....well, you get the idea. Best wishes and stay healthy.

I live in a major city and I have no idea what a crawler even does but now that I know they exist, I realllly want one.

Wow have u got a long job on there good luck with it can't wait to see part 2 or even 3 nice change fron cars etc 👍

G,day from Aust another great video ,we learn a lot form your videos love old crawler/dozers any size, good job staysafe and well...

Love to watch theese kind of jobs, looking forward to part 2. I think I have seen all the videos you have posted, great channel!

What a cool little machine!

Seems like you guys were having too much fun with this one. Gotta love that little thing.

Wes, I love it when you bring old iron back to life. I hope we'll see that dragline sometime again. Keep that old iron comin! BTW I love your trailer deck!

fired up like it was driven yesterday. waiting for part 2allready.

Better than a TV thriller 😊

Sounds like it's only running on 3 cylinders lol

Ship it to New Zealand and let Marty T tear it all apart. That kind of stuff is his specialty. lol. Seriously though looking forward to your documentation of the clutch/differential assembly if you decide to take all of that on.

Love these machines (and any old equipment). Thanks for the video. Looking forward to the next.

When repairing an engine with point ,clean points with 600 grit sandpaper,then set the gap just before installation of the cap close the points and polish clean with a dollar bill..this works magic,let me know.

Nothing like the sound of those old tractor engines.

I don’t know why, but I want one !

I LOL'd at the "luxury accommodations" comment.. never underestimate the comfort of a foam pad!!! :) Awesome vids Wes, keep it up! :)

This is absolutely fascinating. I have never heard of these machines before, and I always love learning something new.

Hey, not everything can be fixed up and state-of-the-art once, or ever - the customers couldn't afford the prices you'd need to charge them to pay for it. I appreciate the trailer deck, and have seen (and used) much worse. Gotta use what you got. Great content.

Hello from the uk Wes. Love your content.

You made that old farmer so happy! Can't wait to see this thing going again. Youre building quite a reputation at your new place

NICE WORK, As long as the Corgi is happy

0:35 With a Walmart battery it has to start. Lol. 1:55 That is a classic tractor seat. C clamps are like 50 years old, maybe more.

81 thousand subscribers an only 4.4 thousand likes, like what the hell do these people want? I should think or like to think this one should get some more likes going as this is the stuff that I want. The electrical stuff you do always gets my attention but this is full on no nodding off watch it all good stuff. I enjoy seeing old stuff live again. It has gone past its usefulness so unless you slow it down, I would put a brush hog behind it and go for it as it is so fast that it beats all the competition for travel. I think the big tanks of oxygen and use propane for a rosebud to heat stuff up and get it off in one piece. Not much in the way so it should be easier than say a bobcat with all its phony stuff that makes them work. Good luck Wes

I had a little chuckle when you swapped the cap for the hard hat. 😁

Ol' #22 making a comeback! Going to be a good series with some learning involved.

I used to have one with the 6cyl Hercules engine. Join the FB group for them. Tons of knowledgeable people there.

Boy, just wait until Mustie sees your fuel tank / fuel pump get up!! lol

Look forward to watching you work on this one Wes.

The headgear change before you unloaded it was perfect - YELLOW HARD HAT FOR SAFETY!

I always enjoyed working on heavy equipment more than passenger vehicles. I just found the work more satisfying and fun. When you get to work on a variety of machines I think it makes work much more interesting. Rock on Wes, and Hello Mrs.Wes!

She is a beauty !!!

Love this old stuff as I am an old man also glad we have both kinds of people to fix us thanks for sharing love the video looking for the rest

Proper spanner work, I love it when a decent job like this comes along. Enjoy.

Jessie Duke gets his crawler going again. 🤣

You have found another treasure 👍 Wes doesn't bore us with "rusty bolt" removals? With that said - part two should be exciting.

Well Done. This is GREAT STUFF. I can't wait for the next episode.

Man! I was at an auction about 2 months ago and watched one of these go for scrap. It was in pieces but mostly there. Even had a yoke and blade. It looked like a cool project but one more that I didn’t need! I ended up with a nice little Oliver disc though!

That three cylinder runs better than the one in my ex girlfriend’s Geo Metro back in the 90’s.

Reminds me of my grandfather's Cletrac. He used it on the steep hills of a Pennsylvania dairy farm that would roll a regular tractor. I learned most of my cuss words helping him work on that monster. Good luck in your adventure.

This looks like its going to be an interesting one - I’m guessing more than a two part video looking at the work ahead. I’m with you - i like the general automotive stuff but the ‘unusual’ heavy equipment is very interesting. Keep up the great videos !

Terrific little crawler. Looking forward to checking out your tear down.

I think we know why the steering quit working: It's got a fram engine oil filter

At 11:50 I was afraid that battery was going to get run over.

I'm impressed and gladdened that he's willing to pay you to fix this thing!

Nice piece of equipment Wes looking forward to see this video thanks

I’m looking forward to this project Wes.

LOL, helmet on, safety first.

i really enjoy the "back to the basics" testing you always put into your projects. Its the best troubleshooting method you can use fine the issues right away. "Spark, Fuel & Air". Another great video! Keep them coming!

Aww its a baby dozer!! Engine sounds and runs great, Cant wait for the next instalment!! Awesome video!

Maybe reach out to Squatch 243 he works on older Cats, he might have some ideas.

18:10 so your saying another project. Winch plate and winch for the trailer!

I absolutely love that trailer deck! I wish that I had a trailer deck like that along with that wide, two axle trailer that even has a spare tire that I bet is full of air!

If only things were built like this little gem. My 8N is another lost treasure from days of yester year

What’s wrong with that trailer deck I’ve got two that look just like that lol nice job Wes

I know jack-sh*t about these things, but that rearend reminds me of, basically, a non-posi diff with two independently actuated brake pads. Looks like the left-side pad is barely moving in comparison to the right. It also looks (maybe) like someone welded on the adjuster nut. When you pull the lever, it's not clamping down enough to transfer power.

That's Character right there. You can't beat an old piece of handcrafted iron!! They want to run and work forever. Park a 2020 tractor for 13+yrs. I guarantee it will never run start like this old Oliver

Awesome little crawler tractor! I'm most definitely looking forward to the next episode on this project! As always, great job Wes! Stay safe out there! Dan @6-4_Fab Glen Rock, PA
