Nothing can kill this abandoned Michigan Loader

- We are finally back on the Michigan 55A loader that has been abandoned for over 14 years. A tree fell on this way back when and knocked off the exhaust and water got down the cylinders and seized it up. Tune in today as we rebuild the 3-53 Detroit Diesel in this and see once and for all - can we resurrect it for good? Will it Start?

Old retired diesel mechanic here, worked on many 71 series and later the 92 series Detroits. The school I attended back in the early `70s taught us that the reason these engines were made so that you could swap the blower side to side and turn the head around, swap the cam and blank shaft side to side was so that you could reverse the direction of rotation of the engines; very important in marine engines. A twin diesel setup in a boat or ship has one engine rotating clockwise and the other engine counter clockwise, to prevent the ship crabbing at an oblique. The props pull the same direction yes, but they rotate in opposition. If you swap that head, blower, cam ect, your engine will rotate in the opposite direction.
Field rebuild in the winter......that takes a big set of stones.
Well done guys.
Love the sound of this loader
Great video, my grandfather owned a 1963 Michigan 75iii. It still runs and operates today. One of the loudest machines in our town when we have it running
Talk about years of hard work! Great job documenting it and putting the video together!
Woo-hoo! What a gem! Good process learning the mechanics of a 3-53. Good job overall so far!
Thanks!
You made a nice job of that, you probably didn't need to get the pistons fitted but it gave you confidence in the job and getting the replacement head was a wise choice. I'm retired now been around Detroits all my life and I can't remember the first one I put together,45 years ago at least but I guess I would have been more nervous than you.
And just importantly, congratulations on baby. Now there's a different adventure. Thanks for your time mate and all the best for the future.
Thanks! No one told me it would be harder to get stuff done with a baby but it’s been great!
Let's Geaux!!! Man Pops JL has to be one of the most positive optimistic men on the planet!!! Never a Debby downer!!
Hahaha
Y by 3:30 😊
Bvb u h😢😢
from you i learn repair...and more importantly slant on life. thank you.
You're lucky you still have your Dad to work with. Thats a great project
Yeah we have fun together yelling at one another and whatnot haha
Nice work getting it running again and out of its grave..
27:23 Ahhhhhhhhh, nothing better than clean fresh air while working on a diesel..... 😊
Thats how you know it needs work!
Cool video. Good reminder to get working on my own projects!
Great job guys fixing up the loader especially in the winter, cold makes everything harder to accomplish but you guys succeeded just found your channel and subscribed. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Thanks!!
I always put rubber hose on the rod bolts when installing pistons and jugs. Learned the hard way by tagging the crank once - ouch
Fantastic Job Fella's! Always enjoy your video's! It must be very rewarding to see that thing move under its own power! Please keep up the good work!
Thanks!! It was really cool. Hasn’t been out since I was a kid.
Hell yeah man! This is getting me excited, I recently worked a deal on an old fiat allis. Can’t wait. Nice work.
Thoroughly enjoyable watching you guys work through each item methodically until it's done right! Can't wait for the next installment. Loving this channel!!!
Thanks for the support!!
New with you. Great job on the loader.
Thanks! Using it quite a lot
Love it MANN!!!❤❤❤
injector dont sound like it set up correct watch (danger marine) there a mechanic in Australia that does a how to set up and tune those engine it really good
Awesome video once again, Chris . It proves UA-cam only want fake videos as your content is done in the day to day struggle of a normal working class guy
It’s never easy 😬
Nice save!!!
Can you call it a save if we left it there to die 🥴
Great video. I probably would have been too afraid of breaking a bead and aired up the tires some more before trying to move it.
It needs tires so bad if it popped a bead it would’ve just saved me some work 🤣🤣
Thank you from Cheboygan Mi
Hello neighbor!
Nice to see u got it running an moving. If interested I know of another 55 for sale. Pretty rough but good for parts.
In Gaylord?
No, Sheboygan,WI I came across it while looking for parts for my 85 series.
Thanks for some tough work. You and your father. Wasn't easy peasy by any means. It just shows I would have no business inside an old Detroit. Vacuum fitted piston pins. Cheeez.
Check lines and diesel filter seals its pulling air Good video
☹🇬🇧
Yeah we were frustrated. Definitely a little work to do but we’ve come a long way!!!
that is awsome
Good job GUYS 👏👏💪
Thanks!!
Hooray. Great job guys,
Thanks!!
10/10 Bloody oath top job on rebuild
That looked like more work than fun. Congrats on the new baby.
Sometimes it feels like it but when you fire it up for the first time… that’s the fun part. And thanks!!
Very cool
Enjoyed the project 👍
Awesome, thank you!
I spent a lot of time upside down catching rods.Also never start a Detroit unless you know you can shut it off
At 27:00 NO!! Don't due that in falling snow! Your just adding a bit of condensation to the block!!!
---
Plan on future leaks with cork gaskets!! Set the idle so you DON'T have to keep starting it!!
Roofing nail to spin out main bearings! *BRILLIANT*
A long time ago, when I was in the service, one of the guys said he had worked in an automotive garage, and they used telescoping radio antennas to push new rope seals in the upper half of rear mains that were still in the vehicle. Take care.
Great
ive had goodluck bleeding at the injectors..crack yhem and when they drip tighten them up.. and prefill those fuel filters 😎😎👍👍
Watching you start this with the valve cover on with (no vice grips) on the rack and no emergency cover for the intake in case of a run-a-way
Is a recipe for disaster! 😮
Watch till the end 🙃
Always have a way to shut off the air to a diesel engine on first start or when starting after a turbo failure where oil got into the air to air cooler. A board works for that.
Óleo SAE40, ou 15W40?
I can't believe that you would start the machine and then try to move the machine without ever checking the fluids and then wonder "what's that sound?"! LOL! That was the sound of a $2000.00 hydraulic pump starving for oil.
A little late here,but have got s 3-53 in an old army crane we still use.. runs like dog shit,but always does with a snort of anesthesia..im not gonna pull the valve cover cause im hoping itll just die...i dont really care for 2 strokes.. all they do is make noise and go nowhere...but theyll do it with practically anything in the tank .. maybe someday ill learn to appreciate what they were/are but as of now, they're nothing but a boat anchor to me🤣...but anyway 👍👊👊
A fellow michigander tbh I'll have to check but I think there is either an international or a Clark Michigan loader sitting outside an abandon property near me that could probably use a rescue I'll get back to you in while once I learn more
Sweet!
💥
It's a Jimmy of course it will run , working in the winter time is bad enough outside for a project Na that's ok for you young guys for me that's a Hell Now a warm garage for me now
It builds character working in the cold like that.
Hola soy d panamá soy alludante d mecánica pesada Jhon deere. Una pregunta que asen con los equipos que arreglan?????
Another screaming Detroit diesel brought back to life! Good job!
Thanks! Back to converting fuel into noise just like they should!
Да нам бы такую технику 😢
You seemed to scared to rev it up much but Detroit Diesel are high rev engines especially the old Detroit
Gota put oil In the transmission
Those Detroits will run in such shape if you can break them free. They're the undisputed kings of reliability and love the ether.
Negative
Do not run multigrade oil use only 30 or 40 weight engine oil. I learned that from the old guys. They said they will leak oil more if you use multistage oil and everything I do it leaks more. For some reason
Nope not at all 15 40 for diesels specially designed to battle the build ups from happening
@mchl8 you have no idea about these 2 cycle engines. They did not have multi grade oil back then. The multigrade oil was developed for the high pressure fuel systems in the newer engine designs.
@@andrewtiefry5990 wat do I not know or aware of? The multi grade pils are not just designed for high pressure systems. Multi grade oils were produced long long before high pressure oil systems were even thought of. So come again?
@mchl8 last one I own several 2 stroke detroits and have several really good master 2 stroke detroit masters tell me the exact info of what to use and why in a 2 stroke detroit. And it works why I have no idea. They just leak less and there is nothing clean about a 2 stroke detroit your going to change the oil one way or another. Either your going to add oil and it leaks or change the the oil and it leaks.
👍👍👍
Favor transmitir o vídeo em português ok.
What did they do to the Other head 😦😦
Check the transmission fluid
Man don’t give away the bid reveal at the beginning of the video. This video is a will it run video so I would wait to show everybody if it ran or not later in the video because now I know it ran, so why do I have to watch the video?
😛😛❤👍👍👍
My guy, you are too high-strung...be a little kinder with your words, especially towards your dad. Otherwise, really cool video and overall great work!
sorry i grew up watching american chopper
@@dieseJL lol, I get it…
Being honest, maybe I might be a bit excited at first but as you just went through a lot of work, why try to make this rig work without the amounts of oils and other to make sure nothing fails in the start?? Not ragging ya, but its a bit of a let down
Didn’t want to waste the fluid in the event it didn’t start 🤣🤣🤣
Yup Bus Grease Monkey and Ol2stroker for Detroit stuff of this vintage 🙂
It’s a Detroit!! Rev it !!!! Or your get nowhere!!!
It sure sounds like it’s going somewhere fast even when it ain’t!!
@@dieseJL lol yep that’s a Detroit for u, the power is at the high end of the revs
Your supposed to take the engine out when you rebuild it you can't even see what the cylinder walls look like that way you sure wouldn't be rebuild my engine for me and if you do get it running what's saying that it won't blow up on you or your doing it just to get rid of it really quickly I know several tricks to get an engine running just to make a buck on but I am not that way and I don't go ripping people off that way
Amateurs. Out of their depth on this.
Idk she runs pretty well these days. But then again I’m an amateur.
Can't stand dogs..bye bye.
How do you feel about cats
In India and Pakistan mechanics do this all the time 🙈😂😂 I gonna give credit for all you do guys 🤙❤️
