That electric fuel pump is helping you check and test. I'm currently working on a 1974 jeep truck. It started by repairing a broken axle. That led to pulling the entire rear axle apart to fix the cause of the broken axle, plus numerous other issues. Got that all fixed up and the transmission locked up and the shifter fell apart. Opened that up to find missing parts and worn parts. The saga continues. Every time I try to solve one problem, I unearth three others involved. LoL. But I think you're doing the right way. Checking and testing each individual parts for function or failure and then fixing each issue. That's how you are going to get it up and runnimg. I'm on month 5 with the jeep. Finding the right parts has been problematic. Keep at it, you're almost there.
Keep up the good progress. You guys remind me of my dear departed father. He also was the type of guy to fix things himself. He did too being a mechanic by trade who then moved on to management jobs in the vehicle industry. Sorely missed by all that knew him!
I've made that double gasket mistake once. At that point I knew why Dad taught me to wipe down the housing before putting the new filter on. It's more of an inspection than cleaning. That mistake must be 25-30 years ago. I never forgot it.
I'm sure you guys have been busy, but it's nice to see a video. I actually checked my sub list yesterday to make sure UA-cam didn't stealth unsub me like it sometimes likes to do. Good luck with getting the dozer running. Cheers!
Welcome Back! Wild Bill is my vote. It's fun watching you work through diesel troubles. I've spent all my time on gas and I know when I'm out of my depth!
I’ve been working on my 450c John Deere. I’m tightening up the T linkage because of some sloppiness. One thing about these old dozers is if you lose power like it’s starving for fuel it could be the little check ball on top of the injector pump. It’s for the return line and when that check all gets plugged it will kill the dozer. Just remove the check ball completely. This is a common thing with these old dozers. It’s from the carbon fiber gears breaking down in the injector pump. This happened to me and I also blew compressed air through all the lines.
Good seeing you back guys 👍🏻 Hopped the warm weathers coming so you can do more work in the railroad 😂 Take care keep safe. Until the next time see ya 👋🏻 Cheers Stevie 😎🏴
Does your fuel pump have a return line? If so, take the line off at the fuel pump and use an air compressor to blow back into the fuel tank. I have an old DEERE 310C tractor that stopped running from nothing more than little use.Having two certified CAT diesel mechanics in the family it turned out to be nothing more than a plugged return line. Plugged with what is the kicker...algae!!! No B.S!!! There is an algae that can live in diesel fuel and when you see it or touch it you wouldn't even know it. It is black or brown and looks/feels like dried up old gasket material right out of the injector pump. I know it sounds crazy and I would not have believed it myself had I not witnessed it. Just something to keep in mind. As a train buff, I love what you guys are doing!!! Keep it up!
Brake cleaner is a chlorinated hydrocarbon, it is non-flammable but it uses propane as a propellant. When brake-clean is burned it creates a poison gas called phosgen. Many people used to use it to clean sheet metal before welding before the dangers were known.
I've been waiting for a new upload every day! Thanks! And good job with new mustache Brian! And try WD40 vs either next time.... much easier on the glow plugs, piston rings, ect.
Relationship advice. When you park your bulldozer in the misses parking spot, and she approves it because that bulldozer is part of how you keep the lights on.... You are truly a wealthy man.😎
I am in a diesel system class, we don't spray alot of ether into it. Small short spray should normally do it. I think i remember someone choked a engine by putting too much in it where there was more ether than air. Had to wait about 15 minutes for it to clear up.
“Wild Bill” Howe Sanders 😝 Nice to see this episode, today. I really like your “folksy” style... talking directly to your audience. Put out more videos, and I will be happy.
"Watch Wes Work" recently featured a video where "Area Diesel Service" rebuilt a similar pump for him. Area Diesel also has a channel of their own. Might be worth looking up.
Their prices may be more reasonable. I can't imagine Wes dropping 1k on that beat up fork lift. The pump on this dozer isn't much different and should be affordable to get professionally repaired.
@@rayvoorhies7180 bcboc02 had one rebuilt for his Hyster forklift conversion, which Area featured in a video. That easily illustrates why a rebuilt carries that price tag ... and that one wasn't nearly as complicated as some I've been told about, where tolerances are so tight that they have to be put together in fuel in order to keep the heat from your hands from making assembly impossible. The specialty tools and holding jigs they keep for each brand/model of pump represents a rather large chunk of change, then you have all the other overhead involved. In spite of that, technicians I've talked to have been pretty free with tips, tricks, advice, and problems to watch for, to help you sort out problems for yourself. They seem well aware that not everyone has that kind of money in reserve. You have to admit that buying a $30 seal and small parts kit and doing the work, compared to $700 + for a rebuilt (like it was for my Bosch VE rotary) makes trying it for yourself very tempting. But it's not for the faint of heart, nor for those that haven't researched and prepared and thought things through.
@@infoanorexic I agree it's always cheaper to DIY. Wes at Watch Wes Work originally bought a kit and rebuilt his pump. One adjustment screw error caused it not to work reliably. But, watching his two videos would give a experienced mechanic what they need to know to rebuild a similar pump and avoid his problem.
When it comes to the older engines, that is exactly what to do. As the engine turns over just a few short shots of ether is good enough, When it runs a short shot is okay to keep it running is okay, but once she is going. DO NOT REVV... the oil pressure is still climbing into the cylinders. But in general, the pressure should build as the engine turns over anyway. It just gives the oil a chance to lube up the cylinders and all the components that need it.
Was helping at my uncle's place mowing. Needed to fuel up, poured from a blue can - kero into a gas engine. Offered to drain it and fix it, he said don't bother. Uncle was dying of cancer, not a late memory I wanted to leave with him - my stupidity. Wish I could say I was only 10, but I was 56.
How many miles is the track that you bought ? Is there ROW that has no track ? Sidings ? Spurs ? That have no track right now ? Can you make a drawing showing the line with ROW, businesses, where track.exists and where it has no track
He probably won't make a map of the whole line for awhile because he doesn't want anyone to know where it is located. As for how many miles the track there is about 1 mile. He also has a lot more info about the line in some of his other videos.
@@thatoneguy6555 People found the location a few months ago. Brian bought an approximately 1,000 ft x 100 ft parcel containing just under 1/4 mi of track that previously served an industrial park, starting about quarter way into the curve and down to the end of the big detention pond. The location is so well known that it's even mapped out on OpenStreetMap lol, and his claim of "about a mile" is more than a little exaggerated. He owns the switches, but only about 200 ft past those switches unless he purchases the rest of the sidings from the other property owners. He also does not own the "yard" next to The Scare Factory or any track beyond that (yet?), or own the sidings serving Amcor Rigid Plastics. The "connecting railroad" is Columbus and Ohio River. I really don't see the point of not being honest about their situation unless they're just having fun putting on a show where they're restoring this amazing scenic shortline. I'm sure they'll be able to store a few railcars, plenty of demand for that, but not enough to make any sort of bank. Could also set up a decent sized railcar repair shop if they bought some adjacent land (and took on some big debt). 444 McCormick Blvd, Columbus, OH 43213 check it out on Google Maps
I'm no expert, but from what I've seen on various UA-cam videos, I would never expect a glove to stop a diesel, especially if it decided to runaway. You get glove parts in your cylinders and it's all over (and it might not even stop). I suggest you keep a properly sized piece of wood or metal at arm's length "just in case".
Howie Mandel for sure. If the motor started to run away all you'd have to do right now is cut the electric fuel pump off or pull it out the fuel jug. No need to starve it of air.
My John Deere 350C dozer 1975? Has a connector on the lower dash that will allow an ether can to mount. There is a very small plastic hose (straw like) that runs from there too connect to the intake manifold. 🤔
I owned a 1976 John Deere dozer 350 and transmission stop working like is in neutral yes transmission is full of 15/40 oil was working super good before stop working noticed when charging shifting was a delay to apply gears
The UA-cam channel 'Project Farm' ran a gas engine on pure starting fluid. No damage whatsoever. The video is titled: ''Will Running an Engine on 100% Starting Fluid Cause Damage? Let's find out!' He also has one on running an engine on brake parts cleaner. I haven't seen him try it with a diesel engine though.
If you let the beard grow in, you could go for the Sean Connery look. Brian, you are right about that pump, you don't know about the steering clutches so time is OK to spend putting in a low priced pump kit for now.
Don't you know these long breaks between videos are hard on us fanatics???? Now, to the serious stuff. 1: Howie 2: Upper lip lookin' Boss! Keep it up Gentlemen!
Back in July of 2013 I drove my wife to pick up her vehicle that had been in the shop for some work on the fuel system. We got the car and we drove home and as I followed behind I kept smelling the faint smell of raw gasoline and began to wonder if I was developing an issue with my car but as we neared home and were driving slower the smell got stronger. My wife got ahead of me due to my catching a red light and as I pulled on to our street I noticed a trail of something in the street that led to our driveway and into our garage and the gasoline smell got really strong. An O ring hadn't seated right and after we pushed her car out to the street and and started it and stood away to see what was happening we saw fuel gushing out of the module where the O ring hadn't seated and was pooling up on top of the block and then running over the hot manifold to the ground. Driving a good 16 miles in hot early rush hour conditions by all rights my wife should have gone up in a fireball with that fuel leaking like that but they say until God decides it's your time you're bulletproof. Unfortunately the good Lord decided it was her time 3 months later from a sneaker pulmonary embolism at 43.
Johnny Carson had a rule about no more than 3 jokes on the same subject. Not saying that your dozer work is a joke at all, just a reference. Time to get back to showing getting the line ready. Also, a weed eater with a circular saw blade will make short work of those small trees and stumps...
Lots of "lost" diesel and Kero cans to be found on the side of the highway after a snowmelt. Why haven't you dragged the dozer inside to make work a little easier.
Pardon my ignorance, but couldn't you just gravity feed the fuel, bypassing the pump altogether to make it run long enough to test the clutches, etc? I know folks do it when seeing if an old car will run, but I have no idea if it would work on a diesel or not...just guessing.
Cut that rat off your face weirdo.
LOL,, this in my favorite comment. Graham.

*I'm glad you guys are alright. I was worried something happened.*
Wish I had youtube in 1971..thank-you for your hands off/on presentations! Now onto restoring market street 🔗
I love watching a good mechanic work his magic.
I know its winter and not great for rail videos, but its great to see you guys now and then.
Keep up the good progress. You guys remind me of my dear departed father. He also was the type of guy to fix things himself. He did too being a mechanic by trade who then moved on to management jobs in the vehicle industry. Sorely missed by all that knew him!
I've made that double gasket mistake once. At that point I knew why Dad taught me to wipe down the housing before putting the new filter on. It's more of an inspection than cleaning. That mistake must be 25-30 years ago. I never forgot it.
Howie Mandel with BIG biceps!
An old mechanic told me to use WD 40 instead of either, burns almost as good plus lubricates the cylinders instead of drying them out.
Welcome back guys! Be safe and good luck in getting your bulldozer running.
And remember, anything can be fixed with a bigger hammer!
Thanks for posting again.
Glad you posted another video because we’re interested in what’s going on @ East Terminal RR.👍
More to come!
Gotta say I enjoyed that first 30 seconds when the make up crew was raking the stache!!! Classic.
Howie Mandel!!! Glad you guys are back!
Glad to see you guys are having so much FUN. Keep posting and don't get discouraged.
THANK YOU...for sharing. Howie / keep digging you'll get it to stay running.
Glad you're back, thought you'd given up
Lol! Howie Mandel actually!
Thanks for the vid series, very enjoyable to watch.
I'm sure you guys have been busy, but it's nice to see a video. I actually checked my sub list yesterday to make sure UA-cam didn't stealth unsub me like it sometimes likes to do. Good luck with getting the dozer running. Cheers!
Awesome! Can't wait for part 4!
Welcome Back! Wild Bill is my vote. It's fun watching you work through diesel troubles. I've spent all my time on gas and I know when I'm out of my depth!
Great to see another video bro.
I loved the part about not giving relationship advise especially about don't park in the misses parking spot Coronal
Holy Mackinaw Thanks for coming back eh!
Definitely a more suave Howie Mandel!!! Keep the videos coming!
Hey glad you're back!
Glad to see you’re back 👍
Glad to see your back thanks for all you do
Glad to see you back! Looking forward to better weather and more work on the rails.

i definitely lucked out when i bought my grader not working. All it needed was a few sets of fuel filters, a tire, and new blades.
Keep up the good work !!! can wait to see part 4 when you get it to RUN !!!
g,day guys good to you will have that dozer soon working good on ya, cheers from Australia
I've been waiting for a new upload every day! Thanks! And good job with new mustache Brian!
And try WD40 vs either next time.... much easier on the glow plugs, piston rings, ect.

Hope you get it running would be a great addition to your railway
Ha! I saw Howie! BTW, love the "will it run" series.
Welcome back ETRX!! Track work should resume soon , weather permitting!
I am in a diesel system class, we don't spray alot of ether into it. Small short spray should normally do it. I think i remember someone choked a engine by putting too much in it where there was more ether than air. Had to wait about 15 minutes for it to clear up.
We normally spray when cranking.
Welcome back, I was wondering if you got derailed. Good to see your videos again. All the above except the COL.
Howie Mandell: yeah I can see that
Wild Bill: hmm not so much
Colonel Sanders: oh wow.... now that you said it..... :D
I have had good lock with those Lucas CAV filters make sure those square cut o rings are seated well in the filter bases
I use to work in a quarry and we always used silicone spray safer than either saves the pistons in a diesel engine
“Wild Bill” Howe Sanders 😝
Nice to see this episode, today. I really like your “folksy” style... talking directly to your audience. Put out more videos, and I will be happy.
Good evening from SE Louisiana 16 Mar 21.
Roosamaster/Stanadyne. DB2? Good pumps, worth a professional rebuilding if the tractor checks out.
Toot toot ! Great post, stash is rocking you look like you Cat Cool.
Spray paint works the best, all the Ford diesels in the salt mine had multi-color air cleaners!
Watching from Hamilton,Ontario. My guess Howie, he’s Canadian too!!
Hamilton? Wow. Years ago, went to many a Tiger Cats game.
Missed you guys for the pass several weeks. Good luck with the dozer.
I was worried that you forgot about us. Glad you are back.😀😀😀

Look on the JD Crawlers 350B message board about that injection pump.
I have learned a lot watching these videos. My vote is for Howie Mandel.
As Bugs Bunny would say, what a maroon, parking in his wife's spot! LOL.

and thanks for the relationship advice
I have missed you guys the last few weeks, was worried that Covid may have struck.
I would definitely say Howie Mandel! XD

Also, a weed eater with a circular saw blade will make short work of those small trees and stumps...
A mutual contact from ScailRails told us to reach out to you regarding your plans to store railcars. Send us an email when you have a moment.
You look like Brian Cranston in Breaking Bad!
Lots of "lost" diesel and Kero cans to be found on the side of the highway after a snowmelt.
Why haven't you dragged the dozer inside to make work a little easier.
You look very much like Howie Mandel.
“A good cross thread is better than a lock washer any day of the week”

What’s the update on the John Deere 350B?
I thought he was Steve McQueen.
Brake Cleaner will work on gas engines, not diesels, and WD40 if you gonna do it. Or, you can use Diesel Start! 👍
I'm sorry, who I saw was Walter White from "Breaking Bad". You will need the correct hat to be his alter ego Heisenberg.
LOL
Pardon my ignorance, but couldn't you just gravity feed the fuel, bypassing the pump altogether to make it run long enough to test the clutches, etc? I know folks do it when seeing if an old car will run, but I have no idea if it would work on a diesel or not...just guessing.
Dead ringer for Howie Mandel!
Most of the current brake cleaners won't burn. They are too environmentally friendly.
Howie. And I thought that before you asked who it made you look like.
