I like to see grease, oil & paint come off on a High Pressure hosing of an old piece of Machinery.

Sitting that long I wouldn't drive it too much hurry up and put a for sale sign on it lol

The vigorous waterfall consequently listen because lock habitually remember at a calculating carrot. unable, cold bacon

Hey diesel creek , correct me if I’m wrong but arnt you suppose to use break fluid when honing break parts ? Was told by an old timer than you should never use oil on a brake system even if it’s cutting oil

Christines front tyres are on the wrong way. They are not drive tyres so they need to be reversed. It helps them climb embankments better

The deeply sea phylogenitically entertain because hall pertinently multiply after a late pajama. immense, broken sarah

One of the joys of living in Australia - zero salt on the roads so cars wear out their engines before their bodies.

Brother you are presenting some excellent content. One suggestion I could make for your safety would be some hearing protection when using power equipment. You wont notice the damage you are doing now until you get older then when it presents itself you will wish you had. just saying................

Oh yeah fork lifts just have condensations in them ya or the valve covers leaking inwards like there’s no tomorrow

Nice video Matt! Ol Christine shore gonna look purrdy! Question for ya; that a 9mm Sig Sauer on your hip? Asking for a friend.

Great job!!!

Sounds like my 1.6na rabbits idling

Awesome job cleaning up the old girl can't wait to see more what is the tractor with the wood splitter?

Wow! it went from a shade of green to a shade of yellow!

Old, but solid American steel. Built to last. Not like modern stuff

Do you filter that water before you spray it thru pressure washer motor

I need to know more about the power plant you pulled off of the trailer ! Future episode ?

Well you’re at 213k subs now so you’re doing something right. Without knowing anything about this sort of machinery I thought that it would be worth $10-20k so that was pretty good. If the all up cost to you ends up at around $5k I would seriously think of keeping it. Yes I have now subbed to your channel...with a bell. Cheers from Australia!

Wow, never even thought of subscribing until I saw your grader blade 😂😂 SUBSCRIBED!

best to get it shot blasted before painting it , lot of rust there

Little Big

Intro music was great!

I have a 1990 F800 Crane identical to that one expect mine has a diesel engine. Good cranes. I use it to build billboard signs.

700+600+ your time,tools and gas running for parts=$3,500

Yep.....Had this same issue years ago and solved it with a slip clutch. Go to your "local" bearing/drive component supply house and get the Love Joy coupler that has 1/2 with the correct spline. Take all the parts to your local machine shop and get them slip coupler turned down on the side that has the U joint connection. This same shop can then weld in the 1/2 part from the Love Joy to the slip clutch. This sounds like a lot, but after you spend the money and time to replace this several times, you have more than paid for the custom part. In may case I got lucky and could but only the 1/2 of the Love Joy that I needed. Hope this helps. Love the channel!!

Seems like you would be better off getting this as a kit and assembling it yourself considering the factory doesn't know how to assemble the equipment.

If you could crank up the Voltage (a DC Welder is 30ish volts) you could greatly increase the Bubblage and speed things up a LOTT.

YES! You’re starting to use the big front end loader, that means you’ll get attached to it soon...maybe.

@Diesel Creek by the time you put paint on it, it will be too late, you’ll already be committed to it, and that’s just fine, you’ve got the room for it mate. Keep up the great work buddy, loving it here down under.

😂😂🤘🏼

Very good info here.. Who the Heck came up with the idea of using steel fuel tanks anyway? Much less how many have seen rusted out at the bottom Fuel Filters? They all rust due to the affinity of diesel for water. I'm sure rust particles wrecked my last set of injectors. Took them out, two had broken springs.. My new RT-40 finally has a plastic fuel tank. Took 'em long enough.

Have you explored the possibility of bestowing a pair of front brakes onto Good Old Christine?

Sweet machine, oldest motor grader I've operated was a 12 E series Caterpillar, late 1960s vintage, they had a nasty reputation for breaking operators wrists, from torque feedback into the hand controls, wonder if Christine has a similar set up, no fancy hydraulics on her by the look of it (maybe all the better keep it simple) Regards - Al Western Australia.

Ждём продолжения. ✌️👍🇷🇺

By the time you got the lines bled it looked like all your fuel had leaked out because of how much was on the metal

Hey Matt! I really enjoy your opening music, would like to hear more of it. Also, it was pretty smart to use the creek for your water source. 😀

Once you had the first couple of courses broken out, why didn't you use the track hoe to pull the wall outside?

Oh what was that at the end, I spy with my little eye 👁 A wonderful GM 671 Detroit two stroke song making machine ♥️♥️😎😎👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺

Best person to ask about that engine would likely be mustie he knows all about old vdubs

I will give you one thing you are doing everything on this machine correctly it will look fantastic when all done and painted bulldozer next lol you all care.😀👍

Our township had a 503 in the 60's they traded for a John Deere I got my hands on. Then I started at ODOT, that sort of looks like the one shade of yellow that it has.

Thank you for recording your endeavors! I would love to do stuff like this (as you say find old abandoned iron) and bring them back to life but don’t have the time nor the funds to do so right now (one day I will!) for now I’ll live vicariously through you! Keep up the good work Matt!

SUBSCRIBE on blade 😂✔✔

You have the splines. For that matter you have the females too. Toss them into a lathe and get the ends cleaned off and neatly rounded and get the engineer to weld them onto any double Cardan Joint you can find of a suitable size. Then unbolt the bracket for the hydraulic motor on the mower and connect the parts in line with the motor, still on that "L" bracket. Get it in line with a straight edge and redrill the mounting holes. You might need some material to reinforce the mower deck under that mount. OR you may be able to simply bolt it on reversed giving you approx. 4" extra space. Of course you have by now fixed it or sold the piece of equipment?

"I need to move the hoe, to get to the dozer to get my grader out".

Don't hope ole Christine will be too mad at you for scrubbing of her 50 year old lipstick, so you got your work cut out slabbing new make up on before the old girl start flexing her muscles again - South Africa

Don’t forget to grease

I remember as a kid watching these things working on the roads in the area and thinking that the front end was broken and the name was Gallon.

Glazing channel is the term you are looking for to describe the PVC that is holding the glass in. When you go to put it back in, near boiling (about 70 - 80 c) is your friend. Makes it go in so much easier. (I work with Ally windows in Australia)

Do not buy JCT!

Hard to believe that at one time this piece of equipment was brand new.

The front wheels should be mounted the other way around on graders. Helps them wear a lot better. If you look at other grader you’ll notice that they are backwards

Is there any protection for capillary rise,between concrete and timber?

Well done

Great Videos keep them coming

Paint it burnt orange! 😂

Pro-tip taught to me by an old guy: Always grease your shackles. Any machine always has some grease hanging out of a work point, just grab a dab and save your future self some time.

This goes against all received wisdom to do with old machinery, which basically goes” For f***‘s sake don’t wash it, the crap’s all that’s holding it together ! “

Oh Matt, admit it next you’ll be pulling back Velcro just for that satisfying sound. lol 😂

2morrow take the opportunity 2... Pull out that winch line;... check the wire cable & At least U will B able 2 rewind it back on neatly...

Put it in the golf cart

Roof is enty shinny

It's like she has a whole new coat of old paint. I can see she has a way to go, but she's fixing up really nicely.

I can't believe i just spent 20 minutes watching someone pressure wash a machine... Satisfying.

Those power nozzles are great stuff, I use them about 70% of the time - be aware they inject water into any bearing and can cut hoses and softer fittings badly, so be cautious near engines and uni joints, bearings and any seal...

She will look great when she is finished.....looking forward to seeing the progress in the coming weeks and months....😉

This is petrol engine, right? Or after all a diesel? It sounds too smooth for a diesel

Diesel

ASMR pressure washing edition

hello from new zealand mate just subscribed love your vids been watching since you put foundation walls on church , good shit,,,,,,, christine shall rise !

Thanks mate 🤘🏼🤘🏼 glad to have ya!!

The sound from the rotating nozzle reminds me of the sound you get from a pulsejet engine.....German V1....

The best part Matt was when you turned off the power wash, you`ve got your work cut out painting that old grader.

Nothing better then coffee and Matt on Sunday morning

Cut a roadway down to the creek....might make a good video showing you using all the cool heavy equipment you have rescued! And make get the water tank filled a little easier. Kudos to you, Matt. You make my Sunday mornings very enjoyable!

I washed my car once, like that... Bad Idea!

And another video of Christine and the progress you have made so far .I was waiting for one of those glass panels to fall out when I seen the window channel blowing out and yes looking forward to seeing Christine all dressed up and back to work

Hope you have a filter between your water tank and the pressure washer? Saw a lot of debris in the bottom of the tank and it doesn't take a whole lot to clog a high pressure pump.

You tube is his regular job

They are great and informative well detailed

Hard to figure out what those people didnt like about this video

And his loan officer from the bank calls, excuses me Matt, I thought you said the excavator was for a big upcoming job. 🤔 Then under his breath says whens my turn?

ASMR not

Nice just take my pump down to the creek and pump up some water to wash 🧼 off my tractor, nice , love it , thanks BigAl California.
