    The dry humor is epic. Working on stuff that other people have wrecked is always "entertaining" to say the least.

    • @RubenKelevra
      @RubenKelevra 2 місяці тому

      I don't think it was wrecked, more like someone stopped using it for some reason and someone else picked it up to sell it. It looks actually in decent shape, just water ingress into the pans and frost damage on the water system did some damage.

    That thing was past being on its last legs... it was rotting out and ready to die. You did all the internal stuff that will let it live for another 40 years, even if completely neglected. And then you made it look good. That little loader is so happy to meet you. Loved this video!

    I've been subbed to this channel for quite some time, (ER / ICU MD here). Due to work reasons I stayed out of tune for a while. This reminds me of myself assisting my late Uncle Joe (Nuke Phisicist + Aircraft Eng.), who's hobby was 'resurrecting' several motorized eqpt. Now, I remember the 'Never, ever give up' mindset of this author + great sense of humour in a relaxed / therapeutic way...
    Many thanks & blessings!!..

  • @flydaddy55
    @flydaddy55 10 місяців тому +3

    You are doing great. I have not read all the comments, so this may have been mentioned. If you want to know what angle your bucket is, place the bucket flat on the ground in a neutral position (neither tilted up nor down) and get a piece of metal and weld it to the bucket, in a spot that you can see it from the operator position, in a level position. This will give you something to gauge your bucket angle..

  • @williamhouk6880
    @williamhouk6880 Рік тому +27

    Nice job! Now you need to add a ROPS ( roll over protection structure) with a roof to protect your noggin from sun, rain, and falling articles such as tree tops, utility poles etc. It'll also add some much needed counter weight to keep that machine planted on the ground. I have an old John Deere that's in dire need of a protective structure myself. I picked up an old roof off an old forklift that I think will work for my situation.

    James, One thing's for sure, you are preparing that thing for some actual work. Maybe it wouldn't do well in a big production job, but for small or odd jobs it looks pretty good. And I was thinking, if you sell it to someone, you can give them a copy of the video to show them all the things you have brought up to date or even improved on. You always have a fun video, and that doesn't come by accident. I think I can speak for many when I say you do an outstanding job editing and piecing together all the parts that make it such a great video. Keep it up and have fun for sure. ben/ michigan

    i'm glad you replaced those hoses, when you change the oil of these old machines since it can now flow properly the most likely thing to happen is those hoses bursting, also due to the crud in the hydraulic's i think she'll need a pump rebuild, and once you're back to OEM hydraulic pressure you'll be thankful you replaced those lines ;)

  • @wizzlefits
    @wizzlefits Рік тому +4

    For the bucket position indicator... Attach a piece of 1/4" round bar to the bucket end an up to the top of the cylinder where you can easily see it. On the top side, slide a piece of pipe over it so the round bar can slide through freely. I think you get the idea.
    Then you can set the bucket flat on the ground and use an angle grinder with a death wheel to mark the round bar at the end of the pipe. Actually cutting it flush works great too, IF the pipe is long enough.

    You are a master mechanic and took and old loader and made it look and perform like new. I bet that will be so handy for moving motors, lifting motors, etc. The green really looks good now that I see it on the entire thing. When you first started spraying, it looked kind of off, but then it looked great.

    I run 20 ton track loaders and that little thing is very impressive, the engine is almost perfect for it as the tracks spin before it looses power but still bogs slightly to hold some traction, the simplicity especially with it now being diesel makes that a unique alternative to the small utility tractor plus with the Oliver history being saved
    Thank you sir

    Find a backhoe for the back! (They call it a backhoe because it goes on the back and it kinda...hoes). Even if you find a small one, you can add weights if it isn't heavy enough to reduce the tipping. If you just want a bucket loader, and maneuverability, just add chunks of steel, welded together, to add weight to the rear. Or, find a Bobcat rear weight. Space it out away from the rear if it isn't heavy enough. Put a cooler in the space. 😯🤫🍺 That oil change was awesome!! (💩). 😁🤩

    I love this deal. A great video with an old dependable Oliver 3 ton crawler loader being repaired to it's expected standard. It was successful. And I have a four ton old dependable loader that needs very much the same stuff doing to it. So for me it's also inspiration. After some lengthy part rebuilding and some expense, the old girl is losing it's appeal slightly. Not quitting but a short break is as good as a rest doing some other interesting and fun stuff. Now as I find myself having to get back on with it before details are too hazy - here's Low Buck Garage with an inspirational vidocumentary, right on time!!! 👍👌👌👍💪

    9:20 another method if you come across this again: remove the bands or other fibrous material and put Naphtha inside all the way up. Naphtha dissolves all organic material (including some plastics) and makes cleaning a breeze. If you have nasty, nasty chain, you basically throw in a pan, pour the deadly stuff in and let it sit. Swishing the tray a few times = effortless cleanup.
    37:46 you can probably use some old tractor weights (suitcase weights) on a rack in the back if you don't feel like messing with that contraption.

    @Low-Buck Garage That tubing you used for the positive cable is called liquid tight flexible non metalic conduit, also known as LFNMC, or in trade speak, carflex. It's mainly used for electrical wiring, most often in generators or in hard to get places on the main services. Comes in 1/2" up to 4". I haven't seen anything bigger than that, but it's probably out there.

    16:40 Next time, find yourself some "cornhead" or NLGI 00 rease. It's a semi-fluid grease which will congeal when at rest, but liquify when worked, meaning it will circulate around. It's perfect for steering boxes and rollers like this. It also won't leak out!

    My dad has a wide gauge oc3 that we used around the farm for quite a long time. He bolted two by fours in between the track and the side of the machine there was about 8 inches of room. Then he mounted metal stakes and we were able to haul at least six 4 inch 4 foot logs on each side it was great for cutting wood because it would drive on top of the powdery snow. you could drive up to the tree, cut it down, limb it, and load it up. that little crawler was also great for fencing on soft ground. That was how it met its demise. My uncle loaded it up with posts and took it out in the swamp to pound posts. Unfortunately the clutch fell apart and that’s where it stayed. The old girl probably could still be resurrected if someone had the time to play with it.
