Not gonna lie, while little man was putting in the drain plug I was waiting for him to yell "Dad, stand there and hold the light still!"

He's learning from his dad ❤

Mike, you forgot the 2 o-rings / washers on the injector. They where still on the valve cover at index 54:47; and when you tightened the injector.

Of all the things I love you teaching and spending time with gunner. He will never forget these times. My dad when I was 7 and never had a father figure in my life. Well done Mike. God Bless.

Love the old iron. No electronics, no fancy controls, that girl will be running long after all the new modern equipment has been melted down and been made into something else. Thanks for sharing.

Really glad to see that you’ve gotten your son out in the shop working with you teaching him valuable skills as well as spending father & son time together which is something you don’t see very often these days anymore. I got my son to get out in the garage and shop to work with me pretty much all the time teaching him how to work on cars, weld,do electrical work, installing custom car audio systems and I also taught him how to do all kinds of work on the house when it was needed. It’s the same way I was taught and felt it taught him valuable lessons while he was young and now he can get out and work on his and his friends trucks himself very rarely needing my assistance. Your son is going to grow up to be a great young man because of the lessons you are teaching him at such a young age.

There is nothing like bringing a piece of history back to life DP. Years ago, as a senior in high school, I talked a neighbor farmer into selling me his old 1937 hand cranked 4 cylinder Silver King tractor along with a Oliver 5 foot sickle bar mower. It took all my savings from 2 summers of bailing hay and a local grocery store. I spent hours in restoration when not working the 2 jobs but after a year of prideful ownership, I had it ready to take to exhibits. Sadly unknowingly after a 6 year commitment in the USAF, I returned to find greed had sold my tractor. A Lesson in life with endless stories that could be shared by multitudes. 🧐 I can see Gunner spending many hours on this machine.

When I was around Gunner’s age and would say “I Can’t” I got told what I now consider some of the best advice/life lessons saying ever and that is “Can’t Never Could Do Anything” so Think about it and do it. To reinforce those life lessons my father made me a leather wrist band that I wore for years that has CNCDA on one side and the word “THINK” on the other side. Always good to see a father and his kids working on a project because that is how kids learn to not only do stuff but have the confidence to attempt to do new and more difficult things on their own

Pouring the antifreeze, are you sure that Aaron was not a moon shiner before 🤣😅🤣😅

Glad to see the Safety Crocs are back on.

Glad to see young man learing

Lovely to see the old Puddy Cat purring :)

Great to see you and Gunner making memories while teaching him about responsibilities and hands on mechanical experience!

Great job helping your Dad Gunner

Always cool to see that old school equipment running.

Take it to a job site and surprise Jerry and see his reaction when you tell him this is the dozer for the kid😁

It's nice to see the old iron running again. Good progress despite the small step backwards Mike. Always nice to see Gunner getting involved.

Great to Gunner helping the old man. Creating memories.

50:09 was the moment you forget the seal rings 🤣

Pretty cool that it appears that the exhaust for the pony motor runs through the intake of the diesel to preheat the incoming air for cold starts. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The rain flapper, Mike !

Morning everyone

Thank you and have a good week.

Don't forget to put on the rain floppers for exhaust keep the good videos coming 👍

Great to hear the ol girl run

Great to see the next generation in the shop doing the job! Great video!!

Glad to see the old D69U up and moving

Great video Mr Dirt Perfect Matt and Gunner

Great job Gunner! ... Mike you're a good father. Not too many Dads out there teaching kids how to fix things for themselves anymore people would rather keep their kids occupied with video games ... Thanks for another great video I really enjoy watching you guys keep them coming ✌🏻🇺🇲

Time for another morning Mike and Matt Comedy equipment maintenance comedy episode. Gotta love the hilarity of a shop that's so fun to watch, listen and learn about antique D6 Dozer upkeep. Really nice to see Gunner working with abd being taught how to wrench on things along side of you. Thanks Mike.

Proof that any flat surface in a shop is a catch all. Even the roof of the dozer.

Sure reminds me of when my boys were you teaching them about auto maintenance. Good memories in the making my friend. Thanks DP for sharing.

Rule # 1, dont drop it in the oil pan should be, move the oil pan first!!!! Gunner is some great help. I love to see kids helping. I try to include my grandchildren in maintenance on our equipment. Uphill battle sometimes. What's the ring left on the valve cover?

Special tool #1 "IN STOCK!" Special tool #2 courtesy DP-Fab. Nice video guys! (and old girl)

Watching you teaching Gunner definitely brought back memories of the times I helped my Dad as a kid. He taught me so much. I lost him last Spring, but this was a great reminder of much simpler times. Oh, to be in the shop with Daddy. Thanks for this one.

Glad you all liked the ornaments!

Good morning Mike, great to see Gunner helping you. Great memories being made. Best wishes to you and family.

Put some transmission oil in the fuel to clean the injectors

Can’t wait to see more videos on the old school kitty❤

I seen a washer left on the valve cover for the injector that you fixed the oring it was a seat washer for the fuel line to injector

Watching you guys trying to put on that belt was like watching a large gal trying to button up her jeans that are 2 sizes too small. 😂😂😂😂

Fun vid thanks for taking us along!!

Great job getting the dozer going guys

I noticed the little " seal E things" as you called them were on top of the valve cover and fell on the head when you cranked it. Not sure if you replaced those or not in the video.

It's awesome that you got get Gunner in on the project. As a father I always enjoyed show my kids how things work, and just spending time with them

Great job teaching your son. Great.

I put a copper line like that on mine and the vibration of the machine wind up rubbing a hole in it. So I bought new copper line and put it inside of vacuum line. That way it's got a coating work. Great. Looking good on that machine.

Still have some tools from my former square body from 1978.. . It's easier to be lucky when you have the experience. Thanks for posting

Shop videos are always one of the best👍🏻 Especially if MBTS is involved lol

Jerry's new toy !

Awesome to see Gunner working along side you. Hopefully more of that to come. Good luck with the old girl. New is nice but to run the old ones is even better. Even if just for fun.

You forgot the flapper 😂😂

Lt. DAN???? From Forest Gump? 😉😂 Pepsi fire extinguisher!! For emergency drinking only. 🤣🤣 I love your shop videos. Thank you DP. 👍

Awesome to see it running, true craftsmen build these beasts

Nice to see daddy and son working together getting hands-on experience all he can get thanks for Gary

Great work DP don't forget the rain cap

I think the limb lifters look neat on an old dozer. Sure do make for good headache makers when working on them though. When you say in town, where is in town for you? Derby doesn't look much like "town" that you're talking about.

Brings back memories of helping my father assembling new leather link drive belts for the generators on some of the isolated places we lived.

Good to see you back working in shop, a change in your videos

Take your time with that sweet lady as it deserved a lot of Air time my friend as you and Dad deserve big life back in the day

These link belts are amazing every fishing boat I have worked on always had 6 to 12 foot of it in the spares box but the sections fitted never seemed to break, and only had to take a link out to tighten every few years

man behind the scenes always makes me smile 🙃

Really great video thanks Mike and Matt and Gunner and Aron

Very nice work on the Gunner project she is going to be a beauty of a machine when she is ready for work 👍😎🇺🇸 8:16NY

I finally saw a certain cartoon character hanging by the work bench.

That was a fun video, my hands were itching to get dirty.

Well, I wish I'd have known about that belt material, before I spent all day changing a fan belt because I had to disconnect the rusty old connector on the pump shaft of my old Case. Good to see the Dad/kid work, nice job!

Nice to see the old girl move again.

I've been waiting for this one. Thanks.

Always makes me smile to see old iron resurrected , Mike! Nice job on the D69U!

Yaa, projects. I always learn something.

Great job Gunner.

Good team work.

36:30 Mike left in A video edit error. He has 2 takes on the oil line tubing needs to be replaced part. Kinda funny. Mike is human after all. . Wouldn't feel bad Mike for not mentioning people who send stuff. I mean if they get mad you don't happen to mention them maybe they are sending it for the wrong reasons..

Good to see the D6 running. Good to see Gunner in the shop too.

Good job. Looking good. Have a great weekend.

Great job! Teamwork! 👌👍!

Glad to see you got a grin from the Pepsi fire extinguisher.🙂 Lol I did notice the washers didn't go in for the injector if that's the misfiring cylinder. Hope you guys have a blast in Vegas.👍

Thumbs up 👍 thanks for sharing.

Good idea replacing the plastic oil line with copper, the plastic won’t hold up. Another Awesome Video

DP great video glad to see gunner helping on the dozer

Good job servicing the D6U

Good job Gunner. 👍.

Oh, and the two compression washers for the injector.

You are so Lucky to have gotten that pre combustion chamber out that easy ,if you ever had a plastic oil line give up the ghost you would never consider using it again , copper line is the only way to go ,did you grease the coupling on the Hydraulic pump drive ,The injectors could use a cleaning or just a good workout. When you shut the pony engine down, shut the gas off first and let the engine run out of gas will save you lots of headaches .

I still remember the hardware store as a kid. Backwall covered in belts and you'd just hand them the old one, they had the measurer thingy and go grab it like they knew which one it was just from you walking in.

GOOD WORK. KEEP SAFE

Brilliant as usual Mike thanks also to Matt, Gunner, and Aaron, loved the video keep them coming, Thanks again Mike. SHE IS ALIVE.

I love those belts like that I used to use them on old tractors

Love your videos awesome contentlove you guys so ❤❤❤❤❤❤

How long did it take to realize you forgot to put the dirt seal back on the injector under the fuel line? Very nice old Dozer indeed, good to see Gunner getting into the mechanics for sure. Hopefully nothing too serious with the old girl, speaking of which, they referred to as females because they take the same love, care and financial up keep 😆 can't wait to see Lt. Dan back in the shop. Keep up the great work my man 😁👍

Great job DP junior, you are a big help to dad. 😊

This is going to be a great one to watch ones I see you working on DP I REALLY ENJOY watching can't wait to watch this video thanks for sharing with us

Great video guys, glad to see Gunner helping out on that ol girl!

Good job

Awesome video. It's great to see Gunner taking an interest in your project. It takes me back to me and my dad. We had many days just like that. You just got to love that old iron. My dad was an operator, and I've had the privilege of pushing dirt myself. Love your channel. Keep um coming!

Good morning! I have to say what a great way to start off my day.

Get it done

Little tip from Squatch 258. Turn fuel to pony off to kill it. If fuel leaks into crankcase it’ll destroy the pony

Congratulations
