Big Jack 17 - D5 Cat getting the engine unstuck.

2 months previously we had left the dozer with a seized engine. Was quite an effort but we got it free and started!

Thank you!

[@richardphelan8414]

Well done mate looking forward to it running and driving

[@ratbagsrc4056]

I can’t wait to see the next episode, you have done really well to get this far. Not much longer and you will be tidying up tracks before you know it

[@sydneyg007]

Thanks! Been a bit more work than first anticipated but also quite rewarding!

[@TheGeezzer]

Just trolling UA-cam, you did well to get that old girl up and running I bet shes been sitting for a decade or more. Those old Cats go on forever!

[@sydneyg007]

Thanks. Was a bit of a battle but we got there!

[@rickeyhooper9815]

Blk goop in that tank . A real pain to get out mate .

[@sydneyg007]

Yep! Your not wrong there!

[@richardorchard3364]

Sitting on the edge of my seat waiting to hear that Cat motor roar into life.I was hoping you would have removed the fuel filter and filled it with diesel.Any way good job she will go soon.

[@sydneyg007]

Thanks. Yes, she will be mobile soon!

[@nelsonperez8619]

Wow it's been parked there for 15 years I'm sure that that gas is not good

[@reginaldhowell2261]

I ve known of a bloke who got an old starter moter and made it so he could use a 3/4 inch drive ratchet to turn engines over would been handy for you .R

[@rhondasmith6444]

Put your turning tool in the starter hole

[@roberthodge2771]

I keep thinking of a small hole cut in grill to insert a 3/4" drive socket to the crankshaft.

[@randydunn6988]

Good 👍🏻 job

[@MrDirtydaug]

This guy is going at it all wrong. There is a very easy way to free up the stuck engine. Just pull out all of the injectors and pour in some good penatrating oil into each hole and then let it set for a few days.

[@roosthrower]

Good job getting it unstuck, you should of cleaned tank filters , pulled primer apart repaired and bled it properly that was painful.seeing all that aerostart and starter motor winding over like that.

[@sydneyg007]

Yeh, very true!

[@keithwarkentin]

Boy I hate to be a know it all especially because I not but have always been told never use either with the glow plug because it can explode but you sure have given me hope I have a 1948 Farmall M that I bought years ago and I have been pouring winter diesel in to the spark plug holes 2wice a year for the last 3 years maybe I should try to pull start it but I am scared I will bend a rod 😀🇨🇦

[@JohnnyBuck-c6o]

Where is your putty knife

[@rhondasmith6444]

Pull the head

[@larryelliott6321]

Yikes, don't break a flywheel tooth with that crowbar 😐

[@malcolmyarnold6172]

Good job love those old girls

[@sydneyg007]

Thanks!

[@rhondasmith6444]

Where is your service truck mate

[@wademacdougall1600]

Just more junk more rust in the motor on top of the pistons only thing for it is a boat anker

[@wilmamcdermott3065]

Use dextron and acitone 50 /50 mix

[@stephenHarding-g2b]

Spray it with some WD40

[@blairguinea6811]

Great vid Sir, aussie can do................thank you

[@sydneyg007]

Thanks very much!

[@MrDirtydaug]

Just loosen the lines on the pump till some fuel dribbles out after the engine is unstruck. Saves lo0ts of cranking.
