FREE Cat 977 - Episode 3 - Disassembly Begins!
Episode 1: ua-cam.com/video/QSwjKY3lVcA/v-deo.html
Episode 2: ua-cam.com/video/QBSKaC6GzPw/v-deo.html
In this episode, I finally have some good news - I now have a shop! And then the bad news - in this video, we start the disassembly of the FREE Caterpillar 977H and find even more issues, including a shoddy repair of an very important structural piece of the tractor. I really, really want to save this old girl, but the more I dig in, the more I realize it's going to be expensive and fairly difficult, too, especially if I replace the undercarriage, which has seen better days.

I push the trans under while lifting on the tail of it. It will make the front dip down until you get it under.
Yep, that would have helped. Thanks, Scott
Good luck on your project, I'm working on my 94 f-350 myself
Ok, so you must have an early '94 with an IDI. Turbo or N/A? Scott
Ive had good luck using brake fluid as a thread penetrant. A great way to recylce old b.f. B.f is designed to absorb moisture so it must help dry up rusty threads some what.
Never heard of that. I'll have to give it a try. Thanks, Scott
Electric is perfect for power outages. If you keep your battery's charged you have at least one good charge witch is reely all you need for the bare minimum clearing to get out the drive way, you can make it pretty later. In a homeowner situation where there isint fresh mixed gas on hand year round that electric get up and go could make the difference.
I suppose it matters how much you need cleared. I grew up in Louisiana on 5 acres and we took a direct hit from a few storms, including Katrina. Electric would not have worked well for us. Thanks for the input, Scott
People around here run 36inch bars on 462s all the time. Run them even on smaller saws. Not because we drop massive trees all the time but to save your back during clean up. No bending over. Skip tooth chain and being gentile on the rakers make them eat fine. The oiler is adjustable for this porpose.
If you're going to run skip tooth chain, I agree. Thanks for the input, Scott
Thanks for the videos just getting into rebuilding some of the items i have you show that having a big shop isnt necessary just guts and will power.
Large shop is nice, but not necessary! Scott
Primeiramente parabenizar pelo vídeo, e na sequência, poderia informar a referência dos rolamentos e vedadores? Sou do Brasil e estou tentando achar por aqui msm, já que a taxa de importação se torna muito onerosa
I use the PITTSBURGH AUTOMOTIVE 450 lb. Low-Lift Transmission Jack from Harbor Freight. It's low enough to clear most cars.
Thanks for the input. scott
Awesome
Thanks
Get A 3 / 4 inch..drive . Freaking break 0ver br0.. And jump on it.. that may free it..
Very well done and informative video
Thanks for the feedback! Scott
That's all fair and good but what if you need to take the tires off what if you doing brakes or an axle.. I use 3 ton Jack's on the axle tube itself.. and on the frame up front and they're not maxed out... The problem with those is the space they take up in the shop and the bulk around the vehicle,..I've made them out of scrap "micro-lam"off are job sites, if there is a safety issue they can go under the frame,..they work great for painting,body work...yoy don't have to get on your knees to fix a "rocker" panel.good luck and stay safe.
All good points. Thanks for the input, Scott
When I worked in the South African gold mines, we used cribbing like this to prevent the ceiling from coming down on us. The work area was only 3 to 4 feet high and when your nearly a mile underground, the pressures are enormous and the ceiling of the work area will sink down pretty quick. The cribbing slowed down this process allowing the crews to drill, blast and clean out. After a few months, the cribbing in the old work areas would eventually be crushed by the intense pressure. The compression strength of wood is about 5000 psi so I'm quite sure the cribs in this video would easily hold a large heavy truck, let alone a car.
Sounds like real claustrophobic and dangerous work! I hope you were paid well!!! Scott
@THEBULLETPROOFGARAGE very claustrophobic. Nearly died once. Returned to the US and considered myself lucky. Great video by the way! I'm building your cribs today. I just don't trust the floor jacks when I'm under my Sienna.
@@ericberg2131 - Excellent. Floor jacks make me nervous, too. Scott
I've got a small car. These will (common sense) work fine for it. I'm betting my life on that. Retired B.S.E.E. Wish me luck! lol Good job guy, and thanks for the idea. Yeah, I've got saws.
Excellent, thanks for the feedback! Scott
Super video..Thank you!!!
Thanks for the input! Scott
my input shaft was very stiff when i went to turn it by hand but everything was on the money has anyone run into this?
Did it work so far ? Did it crack again ?
I never ended up using it. I sourced another one. Scott
I have 3 171c 462c and 661c
I've never run a 171, but 462's and 661's are great saws!
This stuff makes my heart pound. Its more entertaining than a ufc fight. This video made me going to try going one 100% . Can't wait to try...i have a 94 f250 that falls outa 3rd easy. Gives me an excuse to try this 😂
Git 'er dun! Scott
Buddy, that was a lot of work. Buy a lift ! Crawling on the ground is for young guys.
Its wood.. there is no car or truck on the planet that could ever crush that wood. Its as safe as you can get below steel.
Agreed!
is there any point to where you would do a compression check?I have a 74 i have let sit for over 10 years but i know i can put a ratchet on the crank and turn it.i have put marvel mystery oil in each cylinder.I have yet to take the valve covers off and i will as i do have that tool you had to make sure oil is on all rockers,if there is would you give it a go?
A compression check gives another data point, but it's far from a requirement. If you're getting oil to all the rockers, it turns over, and you've had a good soak with MMO, go ahead and give it a try. FYI - you may need to rotate the crank a bit to get oil to all the rockers; I didn't explain that in the video. Good luck with it! Scott
@@THEBULLETPROOFGARAGE Thank you sir,how much mystery oil would you have put in each spark plug hole?Also would you rebuild the carb before trying to start it or worry about that after?Thank you for your service!
@@speedwayman100 I would put a few ounces in each hole, but some won't take much because the pistons will be at top dead center. I'd try to start it without rebuilding the carb. Thanks, Scott
@@THEBULLETPROOFGARAGE Thank you sir!
@@speedwayman100 - Happy to help. Holler back if you have more questions. Scott
That's cool that you didn't kill the snake, as so many people do. You obviously gave it points for not being aggressive with you. I once snagged a diamond back rattlesnake for a neighbor who was afraid it was going to bite their dog, or? I put it in a covered trash can and made the neighbor stay in the back of my Jeep to make sure the can stayed upright. It did. All three of us survived. I used a small painter's roller-frame on an extension pole. It worked perfectly. People who automatically kill snakes had best learn to love rodents. Cheers.
Yep, I'm a big fan of live and let live. Thanks for the comment. Scott
Why not just pull tge truck out to good concrete then use the hoist
Who wouldn't love to work on junk on that beautiful property.. lucky guy
It was nice, but I recently moved back home to Texas, so now I'm wrenching in a 20' x 50' shop. You can see it on my latest video. Thanks, Scott
Cool truck.
Thanks, Brian. Scott
I liked this video.
Thanks, Wiley. Scott
Hi mate I’d buy that other one and keep that one you have for parts
Thought about that. Thanks
crack kills - hahaha
Yes it does!!!
MAN THAT TALL
Yep!
Why not make wooden cribs another layer higher? And put the trolley jack on a piece of trusted timber,so you can jack car higher, thus you can put trans on jack and have clearence.
I really didn't want to make the cribs any higher, but some wood under the jack would have worked. Thanks for the input, Scott
I'm sure you solved this long ago since this video is almost a year old, but you should have been able to lift the back of the tranny to pivot the top of the bellhousing forward and down to get it under the frame rail.
Yes, I managed to get the transmission installed, but thanks for the tip. Scott
Sooo Step 1. Get $200 😮. Step 2.......
Whare did you find piston rings? Im having a hard time finding a set for a factory turbo, thanks for any info!
I honestly do not remember, but they were not easy to find. Scott
Whare did you find piston rings? Im having a hard time finding a set for a factory turbo, thanks for any info!
Go to the IDI forum at oilburners.net - they should be able to help you find some. I don't remember where I got mine. Scott
Great information, I subscribed
Welcome aboard! Scott
Don’t need the center boards, just make a square. I use them everyday on trucks and road boats. Got a 60 cad on a set right now. That car is a pig, no centers just a box. Just pine kiln dried, no PT, just 2x4 poo poo boards from HD and local lumberyards, the ones they can’t sell because they are twisted crap, just ask they will typically have a bunch for a good discount.
Thanks for the input. Scott
I inherited a 1988 F250 that is in good condition and complete. It's a 2 wheel drive truck and would like to eventually convert to 4x4 since we have 80 acres of farm land.
Sounds like a nice project. Good luck with it. Scott
Next time drive the car onto four four inch blocks. Jack the car up with the jack on four inch board or a four inch block on the jack lift swivel. Kick out the boards and you can lift it in one
Thanks for the input, Scott
Liked the video Scott
Thanks, William.
Hi Scott, I know I'm 1 year late but I just watched and enjoyed this video. For the past 35 years I've heated my home solely with firewood and cut all our logs with a MS460 saw (25" bar) and love it. However it is becoming heavy/hard on my back after 1 hour of cutting. So I'm considering a MS362 (16" bar) for the bulk of my cutting while saving my MS460 for the bigger trees. I too prefer a 3/8" chain and the MS362 will allow me to share the chains & bars between the saws (?) as needed. I hope this plan makes sense? Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. Andy
Andy - Sounds like a good plan. You can use the same bar on the 460 and 362. Scott
I built some of these years ago, they work great and are cheap.
Yep, they're a good piece of gear.
My dad made these in the 60s
Wrestling time lol
My late bro, lifetime w GM, later Pierce-OSHKOSH said NEVER jack with differential. A crack would be $$$$. Also, hearing and eye protection?
I've been jacking on differentials for decades. Never have seen or heard of that causing a crack. Thanks for the input, Scott
#1 Knot Free 2x4x8' ? Where in the world can they be found ?
I bought the 2x4's at Lowe's. Thanks
hey one thing I would like to correct you on sir on cross breading dodge dose not make a Cummins engine Cummins is no part of dodge except they come in a Dodge just saying .
Yep, several folks have mentioned that already. Thanks
UNSAFE. The front and back of the tire is applying outward pressure to the top two 2x4’s. The only thing keeping it from collapsing is the shear strength of the screws on top. Would be stronger to have the top flat
did it have to go in from the side? what about rolling in from the rear under rear axle?
Question, will the transmission jack go high enough now?
Yes.
