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!!

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.

That pto shaft between the legs looks OSHA approved lol

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

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

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!

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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, what a pretty trailer deck you got there!

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

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

Looks like a beauty, similar to my Bristol 25

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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 👍

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!

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 !

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!

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!

Wes: outstanding in the field, without a battery.

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

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

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.

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!

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

Great job guys, Nice and even running for 13 years down the track, great machines will go for ever. Thank you for showing us am impressed take a bow lads.

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

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...

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

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

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

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.

Nice sound after 13 years 😊

Looking forward to parts 2, I love the crawler content! I found your channel with the HD5 rescue video. Keep up the great work Wes!

Love these “will it run?” videos.

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

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

What a wonderful day to sit and watch Wes work. Really enjoying this one, great video and job.👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

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

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.

You have a huge job ahead. It will be very cool watching you make it right again.

I like watching you cause I have adhd && I can’t remember what I did few hours ago but you know literally everything about mechanics

Hello from the uk Wes. Love your content.

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.

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

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

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.

I don’t know why, but I want one !

Wow..What a project!Can't wait to see you work some heavy duty magic on this one. You are indeed a brave soul to dig into that mess. Good luck, watch your fingers and show us how its done. 12% dog in this video was fine but yours is more fun! I give this a heavy metal thumbs up! I love it!

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

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

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

wow! Talk about going from one extreme to the other! Always liked tracked vehicles so Im willing to sit through this one no matter how long you take! On a side note, the motors for my RC Lawnmower with FPV camera and tracked drive line... they arrive today!

Oh this is gonna be a very exciting video series and your wife probably said another toy really but awesome job on that auxiliary fuel tank to that was pretty cool can’t wait to see what’s next👍👍👍👍

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

Boy that ole 3 cylinder sounds awesome 🤟

Awesome little crawler, look forward to more.

That's a great running machine! Looking forward to the future videos.

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!

Sounds like it's only running on 3 cylinders lol

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

I have that same wf wells bandsaw! I had to completely dismantle mine, all the bearings were seized, motor was seized. I repainted it all, and put a vfd in it to run it on single phase. Awesome video as usual, thanks for teaching us stuff brother!

Nothing like the sound of those old tractor engines.

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

Love the Corgi and also your Pointer! We have two Pembroke Corgis at home and can't imagine life without dogs. That crawler is a gem and I look forward to its rejuvenation!

God man you are the guy I would love to have as a coworker. Workin in an engine rebuilding shop with a bunch of old cranky men is gettin to me lol. You are extremely knowledgeable and it blows my mind.

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

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

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

Look forward to watching you work on this one Wes.

Jessie Duke gets his crawler going again. 🤣

She is a beauty !!!

Wish I could still do this stuff. Used to love it. Be watching. 👍

Great project bro and it did not even put up a fight starting it, looking forward seeing you wave your magic wand over the steering now. Y'all stay safe.

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

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

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

Hi Wes. I am looking forward to the rebuild, on this great old Machine ! Has always I Liked,shared. All my best.

I’m looking forward to this project Wes.

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.

The hardhat was hilarious, I can't wait to see what's next. The owner look delighted to drive that thing again, I thought for a minute he was going to drive away. Thanks for the video.

Wes, I really enjoyed the video and am looking forward to the upcoming repair video on this machine!

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

LOL, helmet on, safety first.

Finally another obscure equipment video ;-). Love it

Im excited to see your next video on this machine Wes - my father has a similar crawler except it has a 4 cylinder Gas engine and a hydraulic pump & blade someone added on. It ran ~12 years ago so hope to fire it up again soon!
