Matt, a little long winded at the beginning, but your tenacity pulled thru. Great video! A word of advice from a 73 year old who has had 5 failed back surgeries……. Chasing all day pain. You only get 1 spine in life, use that equipment to lift heavy stuff from now on👍
He was Short Winded!# 😂
As a 64 year old..i concur Captain...
I seen lots of Young Bucks with bad Backs from showing off...one day " Snap " and they are crippled for Life...but u can't warn them??
They are Supermen...
@@garymallard4699 , Amen. I'm 80 and KNOW that what the man said is totally true. And, you won't realize what you've stupidly done till it's gone!
@mr outback , YES!
I was one of those young bucks who wouldn't listen. Yesterday I walked out to the mailbox and didn't know if I was going to make it back.
@@BruceNitroxpro
I've hurt my back multiple times ...most were not lifting really heavy stuff...just bad technique...i still have issues but am 98% ok....can't sleep on a flat bed still...or i am aching in morning.... I use equipment if it is too much strain to be safe....i am building an attic on a sloped roof right now and shingling next... Among other projects going on...be Smart and Safe.... It takes one second to realize...
This machine is a real nut buster, very well made. You probably can't buy anything this well made today.
Years ago we had a big diesel whacker plate , every time a guy called Charlie would spend hours cranking it over by hand to get it started ,We would all look at him in amazement at the strength and power her exhorted to get it to burst into life .Then one day he asked why it had a key slot ? . Well we said thats for the electric start . He never did see the funny side of us not telling him .
Matt!
Why am I so interested in this? I'm a 52 year old semi retired 31 year Commercial AC technician)
You are very entertaining and I applaud your enthusiasm for old equipment.
I've got my wife watching with me ( you are going to have to start saying "boys and girl")
You’re on a roll with these old/antique equipment videos
GOT DAMM MATT YOU GOT HER!! GREAT JOB!! FOR NOT GIVING UP AND TAKING ONE FOR MEN!!
Pull that mystery button up for extra fuel during start-up
You need one of those Rover turbine engines with the hand crank starter. It's a lot of work but the whole neighborhood knows when you get it going.
About 60 seconds into cranking that thing and I would be in the shop cutting the crank handle off and welding the end onto a cheap impact socket. Kudos to you for hanging in there.
Yea, he's definitely no kin to Mustie1.
Me too I was thinking the same thing..
Military turbine starter motor.
We use similar to start blower engines on pulling tractors and trucks. Usually on 24 or 36 volts.
For starting helicopter turbines, they are 48volts, usually.
We disable one or two stages of the planetary drive to get them to spin fast enough.
Exactly what I thought ! Like Mustie1 does now.
@@mmm365 If he can crank it by hand, an impact would easily crank it over.
Enjoy the small stuff more cause I worked on the BIG STUFF. Thank you sir you break up my retirement days!!!!!!
Looks like she Hatz seen better days... I'll see myself out...
🤣🤣🤦🏼♂️
👍
I have one i cant get running that I wanted to use for a go cart.
@@WrenchRepairsAndProspecting sometimes the decompress sticks open . Or the decompress clock sticks where it just doesn't count back to compression anymore. You could also try cracking the injectorline and cranck it to see if the pump works. Typically it's hard to not make them run
Wes, don't forget your coat 🤣😂
Matt, your “eureka” moments when you bring these machines back to life, are priceless. Thanks.
"Boom boom sauce in the tank" gave me a good laugh this morning. Still enjoying your content! Thank you for the entertainment
Best feelin in the world is to finally get somethin you've been workin on to finally crank over and start
"The more you work it, the better it gets." That goes for machinery and creative thinking.
God don't you just love it when a diesels creek notification pops up on your phone. I was stressing putting a hiab crane back on a truck at the time and the SOB would not go looked at my phone and BAM diesel creek and a brew went back to work and it popped straight back on all lined up and correct lol
It's not called dieselcreek for nothing !!! good job👍 good thing you don't have to hand crank the bulldozer lol.
Matt you are doing Great, all that you need is a Large Air-conditioned Shop, with Heat.
You can have fun all year long while you are young.
If you build a shop you can have fun for more years than your 70S.
The tools that you have will help make it easy to do work to make money even after 70.
I had to stop cutting my own grass at 1974 because I fell in my house over seven times.
The last time I frachutered a part of mi spine, after Monthes I can walk and go to the store, but I come home and watch Westerns while I was a Kin and did not have TV back then.
Matt,
If you have the shop you will have fun for a long time. Love.
As much as I appreciate what you do for us, let the record show that I did not give you that blister. Another great video. Thank you.
Those HATZ engines are awesome and indestructible. In my army days we had hatz engines on our Gen sets . Runs great until on startup it decides to run in reverse because it kicks back to compression. Makes a huge mess with the oil bath airfilter suddenly becoming the exhaust. 😆
We had them in the army for gensets too. First rule of thumb was, put your thumbs on top of the crank, they were mounted on a grated deck on the trailer we used, slipping from the kickback crank could do ugly things to your thumbs...
@@horstszibulski19 lol 😆 yes indeed . Tho I was in the Dutch army and our Gen sets for our radio trucks were hoisted out of them . We wernt supposed to run them inside the cargo compartment. I never had a kickback on the cranck but I did have it run backwards on me a few times . A big oily mess as result.
This guy knows his shit!! He's a good Ole country boy... much love and respect from Arizona... keep up the good work bro.. big fan of your videos Jesse
Matt I have been a small engine mechanic while going to college in the 90s. I have worked on and owned several hot rods and trucks . I have always been intimidated by diesel engines. but after watching you and several other UA-camrs revive ole diesels I feel like I could tackle one myself thanks for that and
Thanks for sharing your adventures😁😁😁
Nothing wrong with smaller projects, they still make for good fun!
Matt, you find some of the oddest old equipment! Love it.
He does. Makes his channel unique and fun to watch.
Lately it's finding him!
Oh Matt ....I’m sorry but you trying to turn that thing over was the funniest thing . I was calming down until your optimistic cry of “we’re nearly there “ just set me off again and one puff of smoke came out of it .
10 out of 10 for pure grit perseverance. 👍🏽😉
I've got faith in you Matt , she will run and roll again.
18:03 That doesn't surprise me now, Hatz engines are
almost indestructible. Good oil, clean air and proper cooling and these engines will last for generations.
A "WILL IT RUN" challenge is usually a popular thing. It always seem like a BIG joyful WIN when you see puff of smoke and a pop. 👍
Matt, as a 75 year old, I agree with 9856CB! One spine -- use it carefully. Lifted a 150 lb. solid core door when I was 60 -- and that did it! Back surgery saved me. Save yourself now!
You never cease to amaze me on what you can get going. That just looked like a piece of scrap. Really enjoy your videos and adventures, big or small. Your channel has progressed so much over these last couple of years. Thanks for sharing with us. Peace
Do you watch Mustie1? He's just the same as far as getting scrap metal going, but it's mostly small engine stuff, mowers, go-kart, boats, yard equipment. He also does a fair bit of cars.
Agree .
New diesel creek motto. “ I am the equipment “
25:40 if you want fill that gearbox with evaporust and let it sit. It will eat the rust out of everything.
Matt, I, for one, love anything mechanical and watching you is great fun. Please DO keep on with this project. I'm curious to see how well it works.
What a workout! IF that had been me, I'd have had the paramedics on standby and on-screen even! Then I'd NEED a nap. I enjoy your channel more each time I watch it.
Matt that knob you lifted at 5m:50s is the cold start knob once lifted it opens the fuel pump full for extra fuel for a cold first start ..once it starts and the governor speeds up it resets its self again ready for the next start..i worked on the Hatz engines 35 years ago as a young lad in the plant hire game im now 58..a great video brings back those good old memories.
Hey Matt, just wanted to say I like the new intro. Short and sweet!
I agree
Outro is shorter too.
Sittin, here, watching you work that crank and now asking you for another video on this compactor makes me feel really guilty ( after I think it was just last week saying that it would be great to see work on the grader continue) . Don't get me wrong, I'm 75 and still keep quite busy,... but still there is that guilt.. Thanks for the smiles!
i’ve been a small equipment mechanic most of my life and really enjoyed getting old iron running again. Unfortunately a stroke that paralyze my left side has put me out of commission. I have a fight to try to get back to where I once was but I do enjoy living through your experiences and seeing the equipment back up and running .
Glad I can help! Best wishes!
My dad had partial left side paralysis from a stroke he fought hard he was never a hundred but he enjoyed life and was able to keep working. Good luck and god bless
I never cease to be amazed and shocked at machines that have sat idle for decades, and you still manage to get them running. It's just incredible❗👍😉🏆🏅🎆
Seeing this notifications make my day mate. Keep up the good work.
I worked for an excavation guy and he used his all the time for compacting gravel on barn jobs before we poured concrete
I was ready for the machine to take off like the golf cart from "Ernest goes to Camp".
Every time I watch you work on the "little things" and the "big things" I can't help thinking about my Dad, who passed away in '08. UA-cam was before his time, yet he would have loved your channel. A diesel mechanic, he loved projects like you do. Thanks for helping me remember my Dad, Matt. I really appreciate it.
Hey Matt just wanted to let you know that on the top of the engine by the compression release there is a large long hex plug if you remove that there is a hole in the center. They use to have a plug that looked like a cigarette butt with a red tip. Installed with the tip down and it would make a cold start much easier like
Either. Thanks for the video
We all (most) love your project adhd and the big and little projects.
Way to go Matt, lots of cranking but you got her.
German Diesel pride. Thank you for dealing with this and the Deutz. Hatz is still in business thankfully.
Oh and the Farymann and the VW of course. We should give you a german citizenship by afiliation and for your merits by now
"Beware of neighbors bearing gifts!" LOL - Great video, thanks!
These mechanical puzzles are just too much fun!
Hey Matt,i used to own a compacter with that exact same engine on it.
That little round knob next to the decompression lifter is your coldstart.
Lift the knob and than put your exelerator lever on full throttle,then the knob wil stay up.
After youve done the whole starting procedure it automaticly wil go down again.
Köering was a German brand,so is Bomag also.
Ill bett you that there are only metric size bolts and nuts on that thing😁
Bomag makes pulverizing equipment for soil stabilization as well as compaction equipment.
they also make some of the best road pavers and rollers, but they really make almost everything you need to build a road from the dirt up to the top running layer
I could watch you disassembling a cigarette packet without the manual, you are the god of junk and the best channel on the net bar none.
😎🤘🏼 thank you sir! Very humbling!!
Love videos like this. Funny watching you struggle and then drop to your knees when it started up. I'm sad when the video is over. I'd love to see another video on the drag line. Congrats on all your success.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I would like to see this project finished. Doesn't matter if it's Christine or something like a chainsaw, I enjoy the videos.
Just the fact that you got it running after sitting for so long is quite a feat. Can't wait to see you get this one functional. Love your channel Matt.😁👍
Wrenching is wrenching!!! I love seeing the old machines come back to life!!
Matt, you never fail to impress, the drive you have for repairing old machinery is the reason for your many successes, keep up the videos I truly enjoy your content!!
Parts not available =“made from unobtainium”. Just thought you could use this gem . Love the channel😊
They are a bear to start. First click keeps the valve open. Get it spinning and while turning it still, turn the compression release another notch. It will advance the comp release knob to close it. Watch out you don't get a busted arm. Full throttle is all the way forward and will engage the clutch,at engine speed.
William Gurtner , Watch out, that thing could cripple you, or worse! OMG... that isn't just a bear, it could maul you! LOL
@@BruceNitroxpro , plenty of start time, on these, for me! In twenty years, only had two kick back, on me. I was very happy when they put electric start on this engine.
@@williamgurtner4759 , I now have a rule... no button? don't buy it.
I do like those old machines! Less electronics the better!!
Oil bath air filters take everything out of the air, including the starting fluid. They often put a port with a spring loaded cap between the filter and the engine. Looks like some leather gloves would be handy. Even some cheap brown jersey gloves would save some skin.
Your joy at getting a machine to live, is enjoyable to watch. Keep it up!
When I was a kid I could take things apart but couldn’t put them back together you rock
Every gearhead did the same !
My very first project was to find out what went wrong with my godfather's Philishave.
The old bat knew that it was toast but gave the contract to fix it. For 5$. I was left with many extra parts...
And a lesson on electrical shorts !
Same here, my worst experiance was the family TV, back in the day we only had one. I was not popular...
I used to work on 1 cylinder hatz hand crank engines in diesel school. These things were way overbuilt. If the apocalypse happens this is what I want to power my stuff
Then you'd be the guy to ask, "Is he cranking it in the right direction?"
@@manifold1476 sure is. You can only crank it one way. The way the tool and catch and release hub are designed, it can only go that way. When it starts it will “fling” the end out. Think of it as a saw blade. A pencil will ride the top until it turns the opposite direction and then gets caught and cut
That button on top of the injector pump is the cold start Matt. 👍
"I am the equipment" = T-shirt material
Go for it, fun watching you cause we don't bust a knuckle and get dirty ;)
"Hatz" off to you Matt for getting it running again. I look forward to seeing you strip it down and sort out the rollers.
David in the UK.
Good one. You and Watch Wes Work must hang out, at least virtually.
First time contacting you. I’m the Quartermaster and you are one hell of a mechanic! I bet this is a natural ability that you were born with to be able and diagnose a situation and not be afraid to delve head first into something you have no idea what lies ahead. In any event your videos are first rate! Keep them coming!
Matt, I love watching your excitement tearing into a new (old) piece of hardware. Your discovery about the manufacture was also very interesting.
After the first workout i'll be watching for this later this winter when its to cold to work outside !
She's minty for sure. I've had an eye out for a compactor of almost any variety and they are thin on the ground around me. Plus people want me to pay for em too! Another nice revival
Keep after it Matt and you'll get it. I have faith in ya.
Matt, you could take rusted channel locks apart and clean them and I would watch!!! LOL!!! I love your videos!! And you ride a Harley, so EXTRA points!👍🏼👍🏼
Dear MATT,
These keep falling into your lap because people want to help you, which means that people must like you very much, which means that people know you are an earnest, hard-working, friendly, helpful, and warm neighbor. All of that and more positive traits are apparent to all of us who follow you. Best Regards.
Hey Matt, what an excellent little video, I was absorbed into you struggling to get that Compactor going, I am not waiting to see the finished machine in working order, and you using it. Good luck and thank you for sharing it.
Hi Matt on the other video you posted about the Farymann I wrote you a piece about that little knob that you said you don't know what it's for. The nob is actually a cold start help to inject more fuel. You put your gas handle to full and then pull the knob up so it clicks then start the engine and as soon as it's started you throttle down and it automatically drops back down
Looking forward to part 2👍
Ditto!
Stumbled onto your channel and was locked to my screen with your project you have going here. Great job so far and I’m excited for part 2. 👍🏻
Matt... been watching your videos for awhile now and a subscriber. I'm a gas engine guy and have been all my life. After watching your videos and you doing work on your projects it's finally dawned on me I've been wrong all my life about diesel engines. I can't believe how simple they really are. You have inspired me so much I looking for a project myself to get introduced into the world of diesel engines. Thank you.
Hey Matt, I see you really love rust. to remove rusted bolts or nuts, that don't need heat, first tighten them just a little to break the rust, then remove said nut or bolt. Great videos.
Bowy!!! That compactor sure did give you a proper work out
"Ah there is a solid no fluid on the dipstick" just found that line funny it's got a solid amount of no fluid alright lol
...you're the man, Matt. I was helping ya' out with ideas on that beast. I think we're on the right track. I swear it's like i'm there workin with ya. Get some gloves before the next time we work on that compactor, OK...
I just love it when these old diesels start! Also, Kroil™ is nectar from the gods.
Hoping Kroil sponsors Matt's channel soon!!
Successful small projects always gives confidence to tackle the larger projects. That's my experience. Nice work Matt!
Way to go Matt, I’m really impressed with your persistence that’s why I like your Videos 👍👍😎
Heck yeah it finally started as Matt drops to the Ground Like In The Movie The Pacifier Land Glorious Land 😂😂 16:47 @Diesel Creek
Even if it turns out that the rollers will never roll again, that seems like a good little engine to repurpose. Be the weirdest gokart around, especially if it couldn't keep its front wheels on the ground.
it would break the chain or belt lol
@@levistoolbox We're gonna need a bigger belt.
is that because of the motor being too heavy or the power output?
....or both lol
@@rarebreed4512 power
It was always difficult and hard to believe they were still hand cranking stuff into the 70’s I felt for you as a sat drinking my coffee. Looks easy from that view point, not so hanging off a crank handle of a machine that had seen better days that then sat outside for twenty years. Well done Matt
HAHA I loved he pulls on lever "...this is some kind of lever" haha When you have to say something but don't know what to say. Priceless. Been there! Keep the videos coming.
50% mechanic 50% workout video today sir, very enjoyable!
That was ace, you should think about starting a YT membership for the channel. Your content is up there in the Andrew Camarata area.
Your one of the good ones and a totally nice guy.
Little Bull , And, he's still ALIVE!
The shape of a Hatz rocker cover always makes me chuckle
need to build a starter like used for racing karts, dc motor + socket + battery = a lot less effort
Good old impact driver would probably do the job
Matt, I love your channel. Can't get enough. I subscribe to many others but they talk too much and don't make things interesting. Keep up the good work.
I work with Hatz engines almost everyday on compactors, and they actually have the crank to this day, but they have electric starters, but there is a crank option still. :)
Thanks for the blister. I appreciate that someone is working hard on my behalf.
That red knob is a timing advance. It does something like 5°, to aid in cold starting. The dipsticks are usually under the aircleaner somewhere.
Not timing advance . It's the decompression . It counts back about 5 rotations of the engine until it let's go and gives you full compression. It enables you to hand cranck the engine up to speed .
It's a diesel . It does NOT have timing advance by the lack of electronic ignition. Diesels don't need those
Probably the excess fuel button.
I think it's a manual fuel bringer upper thingy lol . To pressurize the system in case it has a bleed off
@@dimievers5573 um your wrong diesels absolutely have timing advance and retardant on when the injector fires advance BTDC or retarded ATDC doesn’t have to be electronic
Jeezuss! I got chest pains just watching you crank that thing!
I love these small projects, it feels more attainable for most of us since we can have a small machine like that but not a grader.
I can't even believe that thing fired up. Holy cow!
