We are on a time crunch to get things ready for the mobile sandblaster. We start with the track frames and work into the "body" panels and sheet metal evaluation. Things get a bit frustrating! Overall, progress continues on the 1939 Cat D4 / RD4 agricultural crawler with a D4400 diesel engine. 4G9986 "Lil Lefty" has never been so much fun and fulfilling. I hope you enjoy the shop talk, banter and commentary.
We are operators pretending to be mechanics!
Thanks for watching!
Regards,
Aaron & Greg "The cleaner"

Your own parts machine stash is paying you now back full time. The cleaner never sizes to amaze me with his stories.

We're really lucky to have them all. The 7J from Montana is really the one that saved the project.

The old nail in the shoe trick! The big spring is called the main spring and the smaller pilot spring clamps the main spring to the chassis. Together they support the tractor and prevent the front from going over backwards when climbing steep slopes by the main spring retainers on the track frames

Damn those tacks and broken bolts! 😂

Nice progress and good job saving that wood from the Peoria Forests!

Some say it is an enchanted forest with yellow iron growing everywhere. 😬

It’s good that there’s two of you! I’m still amazed how much you get done!😮

@lifeafterourloss Ай бұрын

We are definitely pushing hard to get this thing done!

@badzbradzgoodyz6477 Ай бұрын

I have that problem too. I can't remember what I wanted to remember that I didn't want to forget.

@lifeafterourloss Ай бұрын

That's exactly how I find tools that I didn't even know I had, 🤣.

@badzbradzgoodyz6477 Ай бұрын

I understand, I look right at it and can't find it.

@johnalexander4356 Ай бұрын

It's looking good! It'll be a great tractor when y'all get it done!

@lifeafterourloss Ай бұрын

We're getting excited! There is finally a light at the end of the tunnel! 😃

@raincoast9010 Ай бұрын

Another plus is that there's lots of grease!

@lifeafterourloss Ай бұрын

That's true, without seals like the newer models I'm sure that's the only way you can really keep dirt out of it.

I was just thinking i liked the look of "patina" [sp?] and then you said, "...another word for , 'I don't want to paint' ". ha ha ha!

@TomTeater Ай бұрын

This is worth a double shot, (can you remember why we were looking forward)😅

I'm really happy with how this episode turned out. It was a frustrating day but it was fun in the end. So I've confirmed dates for the show in Longmont. It's going to be the 23rd Through the 25th of August. It will be at the yesteryear farm show at the Doherty Museum. We will be there with a display. Hopefully 4G if we get it done But we have a backup plan. We really appreciate your support of the channel. As for the end of the video, I can guarantee you there might have been a double shot that day, 😂.

I think I dated a Patina once. Anyway, good work. Nice that you have a mobile sandblasting service.

@lifeafterourloss Ай бұрын

Sounds like you still think about patina often, lol. The sandblaster is definitely a time saver.

DAW pro track in germantown ny is a good source for undercarrage goodies if you ever need something, great videos i always enjoy them

@lifeafterourloss Ай бұрын

Thanks, I will definitely keep them in mind for future projects. 😊

Did you see how fast the Cleaner lit and adjusted that torch if I didn’t know any better I would’ve said you sped up the video and it’s been a long time since he’s had torch work but it was just like Billy the Kid except faster might be good to see in slow motion and you could do a voice over and analyze it just like amazing plays in sports 😀🇨🇦

@lifeafterourloss Ай бұрын

Oh, do I have a treat for you in the future! We have a "race" using torches in a future video that I think you're going to love.

@lifeafterourloss Ай бұрын

That video comes out on the 29th. 😊

@keithwarkentin Ай бұрын

@@lifeafterourloss Lookin forward to seeing that 👍👍😀🇨🇦

Good morning guys, yes Gunsmoke great show a few years ago. I watched all what 23 years of the seties. And Festus, what a character. I have watched several complete series, Rockford, on the internet. Now that I have bought 1.8 acres and a d4 and a case backhoe, I am kinda busy now, but busy is good, at least until the money runs out. Great series Aaron and Greg. Reminds me of gunsmke for some reason, something about Festus???hum

@lifeafterourloss Ай бұрын

Busy is definitely good. I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. If I start walking with a limp and squinting when I talk it's only a coincidence, 😂.
