Dude your approach to walking up to anything with an engine is impressive. I would have walked away from engines that only needed new spark plugs; however, you pull off the unthinkable. That is so inspiring to us. I think if there were more of you out there. Noone would go out and buy new cars or trucks, because we would just have you fix them up at a cheaper cost. Thanks for what you do. Keep wrenching.......

It never ceases to amaze me how indestructible those old diesels are. I've seen dozens of videos where someone does a little work to one that sat neglected for decades and then they just run. Theres a bulldozer that has been sitting at an old farm not far from my home since I moved to the area almost 30 years ago, I remember my school bus would drive past it every day when I was in early high-school, if I remember correctly it had a US Army stencil on the side. Looked like it was very old. Maybe WWII surplus. Wonder if it would start.

I used to run a Cat 955 and 977 for a small excavation company, these machines were great and ran fairly strong all the time. Dead batteries were the only thing that stopped them from working. Use ours for lot clearing, cuttings pads and demo jobs. One of the bast and easiest machines to run, better if it has a 4 in bucket.

@lauradangel1083 7 ай бұрын

I have 2 Cat 955s a K and an L. The K has a winch like that. when I bought they said it wouldn't move. It turned that the PIO lever was out of gear. I drove it off the truck. I cant believe someone would scrap that 977. Its a power shift and there are lots of valuable parts on it. Cat still supports 50+ year old equipment. Early 70s D7 G and Fs bring more than $50,000 on many sales and thats to dealers. The 977 has been rode hard and put away wet. When you see wear like that on the steer pedals and the pin holes are oval shaped, its worn out. The "mud" in the strainer is bacteria that grows in steel tanks with diesel or kerosene when water is present. it will stop up filters fast. Power Service makes a tank cleaner. Dont forget to put in antifreeze,

The water in the oil pan might not be from the open exhaust. I have a D4 that had a bunch of water in the oil pan after sitting for 30 years outside and the exhaust was covered. The water came from the one way oil seal in the clutch housing between the clutch housing and the crank case. The gasket on the top of the clutch housing rotted and allowed water in.
