I would love to see that gantry crane being installed into the workshop

Matt your channel is honestly more worth subscribing to than any other channel I know of.

The start of this adventure was an excellent example of what we in the aviation world call "Get-there-itis." It is the number one killer of pilots and destroyer of planes. If you are feeling the time crunch, it isn't a good time to be working on heavy equipment or doing anything else that poses a risk to life and limb (and truck). If you have to travel 8 hours to go get a piece of equipment, just by default plan to book a nice hotel room. It's a heckuva lot cheaper than repairs or hospital bills, and makes the whole trip more enjoyable too. We don't want to see you get hurt, nor your shiny new truck. Don't cheap out on the hotel room either, the whole point is to make the trip NICER, not worse, and a bad hotel can absolutely do the latter. Take care of yourself!

You kind of remind me of my dad, who had a mechanical engineer degree. When things went wrong (we were ranchers) with about anything, truck,tractor, farm machinery, household appliances - anything, he would tear it apart and 90% of the time he'd fix it. Plumbing, electrical, stoves - gas or electric. One time I caught him working over a coffeepot. Anyway, one time in his 60's I caught him working on the refrigerator. I asked him what he knew about the ref. He said he didn't really know anything about it but it was broke so he figured whatever he did wouldn't make it any worse. Fond memories. Cheers.

The 282/236 engines were almost impossible to start without ether/ full glow plugs. The main problem was the rosomaster pump even in new condition needed at least 75 rpm engine speed to pop the injectors. they had very low static compression . The injectors at very low tech but with a little gentle lapping can work well. good luck with the old timer. just a little heads up the injectors are a bastard to get out and the the precups are even harder. Be prepared to build a serious puller.

There is nothing worse than being handed a box full of bits and bobs and being told “fix that” 🤣

the fact that this loader has so many issues needing attention is what makes it interesting. would love to see more videos on this machine !

The tires on that loader are a gift all by themselves. Another great video!

My days of staying up 24 hours at a clip are long over, and it just shows you the resilience of the young. I used to work all day, load up the family, and drive 12 hours to my parent's house.

BTW, your videos help motivate us to get going in our shops and on our projects. We all lose "Vigor" and need some help getting re-motivated too. Thanks for the content!

Matt! New Zealand is at a standstill awaiting your latest offering! Sunday morning coffee just isn’t the same. Please hurry.

Just came back from the Area Diesel Service pump repair. Don't feel bad Matt, looking at the carnage on that video (35:20) he did everything but weld a bolt onto the broken screw or drill it out. Without the exact tool and experience I think anyone would have ended up in the same situation. Also interesting to note that they said you were on exactly the right track - if you'd got the cam apart you would have found the frozen plungers inside and got them sorted no doubt. What was amazing to me, not being a mechanic, was the ability to look over the mixed bag of what looked like junk, identify exactly every bolt, spring, washer, name it, and know what it was for and whether it's condition was okay. It was really eye opening to see an expert at work, patiently explaining all the parts of the pump, how it works and how to troubleshoot it. Amazing stuff. We expect this stuff to 'just work' not realising the complexities of everything under the hood. So hat's off again to you as a non-expert mechanic being able to bring these old ladies back to life. I think with everything else going on with the loader it's probably not going to be a keeper, but it was a pleasure watching your adventure and congratulations to you on yet another success.

Matt, for your own safety, get the exhaust vent wired up. You don't need to be breathing exhaust fumes. Keep up the good work, love this channel 🙂

This machine can be seen on google maps, sitting there.... Awesome vid, thank you!

A big thank you to the person who donated this loader. And free is always good and with a little work it will be a good loader .

Love watching your projects. Keeps getting better and better. Using the adjustable wrench as a lever, pure genius!.

You, western truck and tractor, and mustie1are the best, no bs, and you actually tear stuff apart, and fix it, without bleeping through everything you are doing, which i appreciate. Thanks for all the hard work, and G-d bless you, the wife, and the furry critters.

Cool looking machine! The adventure always begins when the "anti-tampering" wire is cut on the injection pump!

I really like the look of the operator perched atop a machine like that even higher than the exhaust. I know there are safety concerns, but the look makes me smile. There's also something about rear steer that gives me a smile. I hear Matt isn't into this a whole lot, but I hope to see more.

You and Andrew are living the dream! We all want some land we can work on without worrying about neighbors! May you never have difficult neighbors and no restrictions!🎉🎉🎉🎉 God bless your efforts!

HEY! Good morning everybody! A full hour of Diesel Creek on the 4th of July! HELL YEAH BABY!! 🎆🎆🎊🎉🎈 Happy 4th of July! ENJOY!!

Yay an hour of Diesel Creek! I was wondering what that machine was in the background of another video.

Can’t believe I’ll watch the hour long video like it’s a movie. D.C is one of my favorite channels on KZfaq, and very entertaining. Great work. Matt, I’d recommend having an ultrasonic chamber, tub, for cleaning anything without the full teardown. Build your own unit.

I understand that you cannot keep every machine you get, but I have to say I really like the way that loader looks. Convenient size too.

I'd REALLY want to be sure that thing was in neutral before trying to start it with my legs under the tire. Brave man!

Hi Matt, I’m here in Northeastern pa and we have an old Allis chalmers hd6 track loader that we use to use in our quarry. It ran when it was parked to my knowledge and it’s been sitting for at least 17years but it’s all covered up with a industrial tarp. If you’re interested in it we will surely be happy to give it to you if you want it.

I’m about halfway through and have to say I love the commentary on the screen, such as “Foreshadowing”. Thanks for kicking out another video!

Congrats Matt, you've saved another nice machine! It's a pleasure to watch your videos!

Not knowing what you are looking for, and just taking it apart to see? That's exactly how I teach my kids. It's how I've lived my life when it comes to fixing things. I'm 56 and have never had any of my cars to a mechanic to fix them. From timing belts on my Audi to welding up a shift fork on my F150. Just get it done and learn along the way. As long as you have a general concept of how things work, do it. This is why I love this channel, F around and find out.... in a good way.

I'm excited to see a new project in the works, and grateful for an hour long video from my favorite channel on a holiday when I'm wasting my morning doing nothing at work. However, I wouldn't be a Yooper if I failed to point out that Indian River is in northern Lower Michigan, not Upper Michigan.

This was pretty cool. Seeing you taking it off, taking it apart, and then seeing ADS dealing with it, and then you unboxing it again. That beast coming alive! That's just awesome.

A great video Matt, love what you do. Please keep the content coming!👏🏻👏🏻

I swear those D-282's are the most cold blooded diesel I have ever dealt with! Place I rented years ago had a 1959 IH 660 Diesel for plowing snow... I moved in mid winter and my plow truck wasnt accessable. Never less than a can of ether after having it tarped with the tiger torch under it for a half hour... So much fun at -20! 😂

Magic Matt strikes again! Matt, you have provided this old home bound dude who doesn’t know beans about mechanics with more hours of wonderful entertainment than all my Roku channels combined! Thank you Magic Matt from the bottom of my heart!

That's the one thing I like about you. You point out and admit you mistakes

I think a great little machine! If I had the space I’d love something like this… Thanks for posting up Matt! Cheers Doc

Matt, you're closer to 1 million subscribers than you are to none. That's awesome, bud! 🤘😎🤘

Love to see you take this loader to the next level. Great video!

As much as I love this old machine and am glad you saved it there are other past projects Is like to see more. Those old autocars are the real reason I'm here. It'd be real nice to see them getting some love.

A secret i learn here in the third world it's to make a torch with a stick a rag and some diesel, to put it in the airfilter housing, that way anything should start right up with out glowplugs

Hi Matt I think when you go on the long journeys, you should take a small generator and a light standard in case you’re working at night. You did a fine job with this thing.

Love watching your projects. Keeps getting better and better. Love watching your projects. Keeps getting better and better.

Happy to hear that meatball is still doing well!

I like this loader, it totally looks like a full-size Tonka. I think it's worth fixing when there's some time. Get the injectors rebuilt, put in a new head gasket and flush the oil out of the coolant passages, figure out the brakes, and it could do some work even before touching the wiring.

Wow the music in your videos is fantastic. Lots to think about in the repair of this wheel loader and if it goes forward or not. Generous donation too.

That trick at 28:48 using the adjustable and allen wrenches is great. Definitely going to use that in the future. Thanks Matt!

A lot of times if we don't make mistakes we don't learn Another good video Matt KEEP THEM COMING 👍 👌🇺🇸🐘

AUTOCAR !! Thanks, Matt. This video had me watching all the way through. Good stuff. I have not idea what you are doing but I really enjoy being right in there with you. For me, I am able to connect (somehow) with how you go step by step fixing machines. Very cool. There is no other way for me to have accessibility to up front and close, from chaos to contact, other than you. Love what you do and how you do it.

Matt, I’m totally satisfied with the content you present to the viewers! You definitely won’t hear anything complaints from me brother! Thanks for sharing my friend, Kirkland from Louisiana and I’ll always be grateful and waiting for your next video! Keep those babies (dogs) safe and prayers and good vibes for you and your family! Thanks 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thank you, Matt good luck on your loader

5:51 why not build a small camper thingy for your pickup bed? Just a bed with some minimal amenities like a sink, a mini fridge and a cooking stove with a popup roof, so it folds down to the cab height, while giving you still the bed sidewall height for tools. So you don't have the pressure to hurtle down the highway for 8 hours on the same day, but can comfortably stay overnight anywhere you want. :)

Matt does an amazing job with all his videos, every time I get the notification that he’s posted I’m always excited to watch whatever he posts. I think the best part is his fans that have such a vast knowledge and that Matt acknowledges them! That’s just awesome!!

I spend my days off watching others work and you sir are my hands down favourite. Cheers

You have a fine gift…..why your channel caught my eye is #1 I love motors, and #2 Iwas glued to my fathers side when he repaired anything…..started with my fascination for gears when Iwas 5….long story…I’m 80 and female

Im so glad there are people like you saving all the old metal!

The plant I worked at back in the 1980's had 3 old IH Payloaders with that D282 engine, they finally got tired of messing with it and rebuilt one of them with a 3-53.

Matt, truly enjoy watching your joy in starting up this vintage vehicle !

Another cool video!! I am happy I stumbled upon your site!! Keep up the awesome job!!

That loader looks to have the 282 engine in it. They were great little engines but used glow plugs. They pretty much has to have a full set of functioning glow plugs to start

Actual name of Pintle Ring is "Lunette". A lunette ring is a type of trailer hitch that works with a pintle hook on the tow vehicle. A pintle hook and lunette ring makes a more secure connection. The secure towing connection is more desirable on rough terrain, than ball mounted trailer hitches.

Thank you Matt. Another super video.👍

GREAT teaching session, instructors to use in classroom instruction using YOUR presentation! Cudos to ALL! Greg; disable senior, educator, Mil Vet! GREAT presentation hailing (originally) Pittsburgh, PA (Castle Shannon)! Seeking YOUR thoughts and wisdom pertaining to vehicle repair- attention and much more!!! Compliments to one and ALL, U-Ah! Be safe, Greg!!

Oh the power of youth, its been almost forty years since I last saw the sunrise twice without sleeping in between them. It seems like I'm not the only one who enjoys your content of your videos Matt. Don't stop doing these sort of "will it start" videos marra.

I loved the IH styling from that era. The boxy square bodywork with the rake angle shows up in both the farm and industrial line. Tonka style. Happy Independence Day everyone.

Nice save Matt! She needs some love, but you can bring her around. Thanks for sharing!

that’s a cool little loader, i grew up operating a Hough 60 b wheel loader which was actually in a symbiotic partnership with International.

Neat "little" machine... like Fat Alice had a "cub"! Matt, you have to realize that when you say you have a lot of projects in the works, it is music to our ears! The more stuff you need to fix, the more projects you have on Diesel Creek, the more we like it! Just hoping we can be patient... Thanks for posting... looking forward to the next video!

After the run down the track it was running pretty clear after blowing all the crud out ,good job

Hey Matt, good video. Enjoyed watching it. Keep up the good work.

Hey Matt, excellent video, love to see old machines come back to life. I want to offer, and would like to hear thoughts from others regarding the oil in the coolant. But you may have inadvertently blown the head gasket and some other seals/gaskets by revving/running it hard once you got it running. We did that once with an old Massey Harris tractor that had run just fine but wound up sitting for years after we got some additional tractors. We decided to return it to work pulling hay wagons one spring and pretty much did the same thing once we got it running and quickly blew the head gasket revving it hard trying to clear it out. Like making an old man get out of bed and run a sprint, something's likely to give out pretty fast - just a thought. You have interesting projects, please keep them coming.

Always jump right on when I see a DieselCreek upload! Can not believe I’ve been a subscriber since before you hit 15K! You deserve to have millions man, you are still your humble self. That’s why your videos are so great. It’s like watching someone with no subscribers just sharing what they love to do!

Another resurrection for Matt! Always amazes me, what you can do. Thanks for inspiring us. 😃

I'll never be able to work on Engines again so I live vicariously through your Videos. I learn things from you. I love your enthusiasm, even when things are going South and watching an engine fire up is the crescendo!

I came to the realization that no matter what Matt is working on, you find yourself cheering him on as he troubleshoots. I hate seeing him not get anything started and running, so I'm cheering him on from my office!!!

It’s always a good morning when I wake up to a new diesel creek video

1. Nice catch on the unload. 2. Intuition and logic on the teardown. 3. Experience on everything else.

Another great video Matt. Love your honesty when you don’t know something.

Love that cool old loader!💗👍 once it gets fully serviced that thing will outlast any new equipment wish I had it!💗💗

Of all the equipment you've shown on the channel this has to be the coolest, and most deserving of a complete restore. love watching the channel but would like to see more follow up and finish what you have especially the D8

Great 4th of July treat 👍 always amazed at how resourceful you are, it’s inspiring.

They were noted for head gasket trouble. Glow plugs are a must to have it start right. Good motors , just machined poor back in the day. Hard to get injector parts now days. Cant wait to see more. You can get motor parts.

I enjoyed this video on the "Free Int'l Wheel Loader"! I grew up in Michigan, so that was pretty cool to see you drive to my prior home States to pick up the beast! Well done, Matt!

I am surprised at how good the tires seems to be. They look almost new.

Gotta hand it to you, Matt !! Persistence pays off !! That's one of the things that I admire about you !!

Shoutout to Penna - a star is born! Doggone it, your videos are the best. I learn so much. Keep on sharing!

was looking at your video and saw that rework wow lots of work awsome !!!

Matt I have same machine 3850 the gas version.Keep these videos coming Great job.

I like this loader! It reminds me of a tonka toy too. I think the guys that give you grief for how you get your machines running should just hold their opinions to themselves. its your stuff and you decide how to get it running. Key up the good work Matt.

At least you got new rubber! Thats a bonus, i think i would add about 3 more feet of exhaust, so you're not sucking in exhaust fumes

Hi Matt, came across your channel few days back and I really enjoy watching your videos. I would spend 3- 4 hours watching your old and new videos and looks I'm already addicted to your contents. So, new sub here. Thankyou for your valuable contents.

I'd be inclined to throw in a head gasket and see if you can fix the oil in the coolant. Then I'd give her an Italian tune-up, putting it to work for your next top soil/gravel/fill/etc project and see if a good workout is enough to free up the injectors. At that point, although still likely having excessive blow-by/burning oil, you should have a functional loader. If you don't need it, rather than letting it rust outside, sell it to someone who needs a loader once in a while and is willing to live with the worn out engine...

I'll say this, it was REALLY nice of your subscriber to offer that to you. It turns out, no matter what 'they' say, this world is FULL of great people, no matter where in it you are. So nice to see you get that beautiful piece of machinery working again (hopefully I'm at the part you showed your broken bumper!!) Thanks Matt for taking us along with you!

I watched the video on rebuild of your injection pump and was astounded by how complicated it was. It was very interesting nonetheless. They are experts at what they do.

Just a little sweet loader..thx for sharing..👌👌

Love your attitude and your tenacity Matt 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 10/10

I love old iron. Its realy cool to see what people made and used way back.

What a Great Project and a Great save. Score. What a great piece for a small farm or property owner. Or for someone who just wants a project to play with. Love the style. If I still had my farm I would of loved to have something like this. Can you do a video on what happened to all of the equipment that went to new homes? Thank you for rescuing old equipment. Cheers.

Great video Matt, thanks for sharing!

I love learning casual knowledge about diesels. I've never owned anything diesel or worked on anything like that, but after watching your videos for a few years I feel like if I had to, I could stumble through it.

Matt, you have a knack for finding "unique" pieces (heavy equipment). Or, maybe the equipment finds you! Anyway, it is always interesting to see the newest project and to watch you diagnose and fix the problems you find. With that said, I am looking forward to seeing you work on the Autocar trucks, especially the older one. I'd love to see that truck refurbished and ultimately on the road again. Thanks again for all your hard work to show us what you're up to from episode to episode. Blessings to you and the family!
