Welcome to the channel where today we are checking up on the fleet and winterizing one of the scrapped track loaders we bought. A lot of the equipment we have around we use quite a bit, and then a lot we don't use really at all. Regardless, we need to start it up once a year and go through the motions!!
Have some abandoned equipment you think we would be interested in?? Let us know - forms.gle/vafcVDAm4JVkW8F49

Glow plug a cat and it will always start. Once it’s running turn the switch back to the pre heat till it runs smooth.

Yeah I was amazed how well it started with glow plugs

In the critical moments it's like watching Beavis and Butt Head. Try yelling above the noise of the engine running.

we call it antifreeze but it needs the water to not freeze as crazy as it sound... the water by itself will freeze around 0C... the antifreeze around -12C if i recall... but both together will go -45C... because they cannot form big ice crystal since the molecule are spaced from each other. so 100% antifreeze will freeze!

That thing was a land clearing machine in her day!

@thesmallenginekid 7 ай бұрын

We both have the same problem. Too many machines so they end up sitting. But you just cant get rid of some because each is unique.

Once I can hop in them and turn the key you bet I’ll use them though! Love your videos Andrew!

I'm working on a CAT 977L trackloader and my boss bought a "copy CAT" Chinese engine that kind of fits but having a hard time getting all the components to match up. We're gonna have to custom make a lot of things to make this work

Why in the lords name would you do that 😬

@JaGGeR- 4 ай бұрын

@@dieseJL if it was up to me I would've bought a real CAT 3306 for it but here we are lol. I guess the reason is because CAT doesn't build that engine anymore but I've seen plenty for sale elsewhere 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hi Mate great video, what would you recommend to un seize a small power washer motor. Was told to take spark plug out pour diesel leave for a week, should be ok.

@dieseJL 7 ай бұрын

That’s a good place to start! Depends why it’s seized.
