Thank God someone cares about older equipment repair and maintenance! I always feel sad when I see an old piece of equipment rusting away and abandoned to the elements. I also love how your attention to detail comes through in the care you give to the restoration of the equipment.
You seem so comfortable in front of the camera and your explanations of different parts and the terminology is quite astounding for being so youthful. You remind me of Abom79 on UA-cam. I truly enjoyed you video series of the rehabbing of the throwout bearing on the transmission. Hopefully you will continue series like this. PS. please put together a playlist of every rehab and put those vids in the playlist section. Thanks!!!
These things will always bring a smile to my face. While this is around 90 years old, ANYTHING coming from the showroom today will be melted down as scrap in 90 years - to make parts to keep ones like this one going yet farther. Think about that one…
when you say the dash panel = i see a fire wall with gauges - i am australian and we might call it that but caterpillar may call it a dash panel ! really interseting and thank you sir = master mechanic !
I enjoy your restoration video's. They remind me of a book I read way back in grade school about a young man or boy who found a dozer in a pond and somehow he got it out, repaired it and started his own company.
Toby, Great job on the Ten, very detailed with good information. I figured you would mention that chain-drilled hole next to the ignition switch. Thanks for making the videos, keep up the good work.
I really enjoy the simplicity of the earlier Equipment, back then I believe the design of machines like this included ease of service for the customer. As we come forward in time that consideration for service has slowly faded. Back in the 1970,s I completely rebuilt a D2 Cat and it was already equipped with " Mechanic Traps", that cause much cursing! Thanks for sharing your adventure.
Watching this older video you've certainly got a lot more professional in your filming and voice overs in later videos. Just a point, did l miss something on the dynamo? You never replaced it, or have l missed an appointment at specsavers?
Another great video, Squatch. Well produced, heaps of detail and explanation, and you get the satisfaction of the tractor running beautifully at the end. Well done.
When this first started I thought I'd vapor locked till I realized what was going on from last fall. WONDERFUL job and purrs like a kitten wearing a Swiss watch! i 10/4 all the improvements because a lot can be done to make things better. Hope you're getting a break in the arctic blasts. Now all you need to do is fix all the rest of your artifacts. A-PLUS from me!
That's nice, now I want one. Cool lookin cat, you'll have years of fun with it. Like the videos, finally watched them all. I wish I had your attention to details. Keep smiling.
The crudely cut hole in the firewall was likely to provide heat for the operator in cold weather. I have a PV Fifteen that had a similar hole behind the manifold. The way this worked is the engine side covers would be sealed, forcing air from the radiator past the manifold and through the hole to the operator who would be in a cab or enclosure. Obviously, this is a risky operation as any exhaust leaks would endanger the operator.
Hi Squatch, I wish I was able to share some pics with you. I just moved my Cat10 and D2 to my buddy's storage yard. I am currently awaiting manuals so I can start the process of returning these to working condition. Both are heavy patina tractors. I think you would approve.
Congratulations on a really good video series,was very interesting. The 10 is such a beautifully engineered machine. Never thought I would covet a vintage crawler so much! My thoughts are that the chain drilled hole was to allow fitting of an auxiliary gauge of perhaps get some heat back to the operator in some way? There a lot of old engines out there with just a wire hanging from the magneto that is simply touched to chassis earth to kill the engine, not sure they would go to all that effort just to make a stop switch?
Cool channel. I've always wanted and wished for a property out where I could have a Dozer, but of course a few Dozers or more would be better. A little jealous but since I am not a lady I don't hate you lol. Franken cool stuff right there.
Love watching your projects just got a 1941 cat d4 R4 serial number 6g1387 W with 1948 7u3626 repowered with diesel. wide gauge would like to send pic had a couple of ideas to bring back some r4 character. thanks tom
Nice Video! I am curious, you must collect service manuals and or do a lot of research on how the old timers repaired these machines. These folks are going away at a rapid pace and I am glad you are picking up the torch and carrying it forward. Do you have mechanical training in your background? I went to trade school for Agriculture farm equipment and diesel mechanics in our local town. I was fortunate to be taught by three old timers and of course my dad and grew up around this old equipment. I know, a lot of what you pick up is just common sense and some trial and error. Thanks!
Mighty Moe Excavating likes Caterpillar! That video inspired me to give my 1938 D2 it’s ninth life. I think I missed you starting it ? Ty for the entertainment
I just found your channel and have to say great video's and entertaining to watch. When you reassemble parts you always use grease and have you gave thought to a product called "Molly 50"? It by Loctite or Permatex and for your pins and well anywhere you do not have grease nipples or lubrication I would say give it a go. In my experiences it is better than copper coat or any other anti seize. Just my two cents as you know what you doing on this old stuff, my experience is from newer equipment over the last 34 years as a grease monkey.
Very nicely done, still an excellent tractor, it may not be fancy by some peoples standards but it's reliable and gets the job done, I was wondering is that a canister oil filter engine?
fantastic video,,,,many thanks!!! Ive wondered what a ten was good for,,,its too small and not powerful enough ,,,what were they used for and what can they do today??
i wonder if the misfire is the spark plug wires cross firing up in the loom. i wonder if there is enough room to slip some silicone tubing on them where they run together and still keep it out of sight. only 2 wires would need to be insulated this way. the first and the third in the firing order being insulated will really help.. so the spark is not bleeding over to the second and forth in the firing order. many hardware stores sell this Nashua Tape brand 1 in. x 3.33 yd. Stretch and Seal Self-Fusing Silicone Tape in Clear so you could individually wrap the 2 wires instead of trying to pull tubing over them.
Was that the sort of machine the Seabees were using in the South Pacific during WW II? I know they had some small crawler that could be air delivered to an island.
I want a small crawler like that. Which one would you suggest and about how much would you say your cat 10 is worth as is just for comparison? Thanks and great videos.
Hole was hacked out to reach the ignition wire? Nothing so fanciful. More likely it was cut out for a gauge of some sort. I've seen that many a time in my career. Overall, that Ten looks pretty good.
Hi Squatch253 loving the channel👍 Might be a stupid question but can you please tell me how the carburetor is attached to the intake manifold as one is one side and the other is the other side and can't see a link unless it's in the head. Thanks for the interesting viewing over here in England 👍👍
@@squatch253 thanks for the quick reply thought it would be something like that only I haven't seen one close up don't think there's many in England 👍👍👍 Keep up the good work and looking forward to the next installment of the 5j1113 project many thanks 👍👍
Many people want this old equipment restored to original condition, the way it left the factory, PLUS it isn't like it is going to be put back to work on a daily basis.
@@squatch253 great idea I was kind of wondering if it was something like that or if it needed to be sent out for service had to do that with forgive me dads 1954 johndeere h
It has a heat riser that passes hot exhaust gas through passages in the intake manifold to keep it warm in cold weather so fuel doesn’t condense on the sides of the intake manifold runners.

Yes kudos on the fine workmanship, and attention to detail. I am sure a lot of people will enjoy this old Cat at the next tractor show.
I enjoy your restoration video's. They remind me of a book I read way back in grade school about a young man or boy who found a dozer in a pond and somehow he got it out, repaired it and started his own company.
I think the tittle of that book is catskiner if I remember rightly.
Toby, Great job on the Ten, very detailed with good information. I figured you would mention that chain-drilled hole next to the ignition switch. Thanks for making the videos, keep up the good work.
Maybe for a gauge?

Sweet!!!! I hope I look and run that good when I'm that old.
In the summer of 1982, fresh out of high school, I spent my summer doing this to our 15 - thank you for sharing your labor with us !
Watching this older video you've certainly got a lot more professional in your filming and voice overs in later videos.
Just a point, did l miss something on the dynamo? You never replaced it, or have l missed an appointment at specsavers?

Bet you put the snowplow back on it this winter. Nice work.
This video was just as good the second time as it was the first .
👍😊🍵🍵💥🌎
That looks like it would be amazingly fun to drive around.
Thats one of the coolest vehicles iv ever seen!

Hi, great to watch and learn from a dedicated expert, many thanks.
I see an old allis cat at the end of that video I need one of those. Good stuff. I'm sure we will see a few more videos of the work on that one.
That's nice, now I want one. Cool lookin cat, you'll have years of fun with it. Like the videos, finally watched them all.
I wish I had your attention to details. Keep smiling.
this video is second to none! thanks!
I appreciate your skill and knowledge. You make it look easy! Thanks for a great channel!

That is so cool looking I would like to have one of those
That is a nice little tractor
Did the generator go back on? Great Job on these old machines!
Awesome job Brother! You make it look so easy. Cheers!
The felts in the oil cups also serve as a filter

thumbs up as he sails off into the sunset LOL
Thanks for another great video
You missed the dirty cold start after assembly, those are the best!

Did you forget to reinstall the alternator? I thought you would reinstall it when you replaced the fanbelt.
Hole in the dash is probably for directing heat onto the operator
good job 👍

35 years ago I was going to buy a Twenty cat but didn't have a way to get it home.
Any chance you could do more videos with this little guy this year? Not many good cat ten videos on here
Good Video
I'm curious why you did not put in a sealed throw out bearing?
Was that the sort of machine the Seabees were using in the South Pacific during WW II? I know they had some small crawler that could be air delivered to an island.
Very nice just like the one I grew up driving. What are the mounts for that come out ahead of the dead axle? A dozer or toolbar maybe.
Nice cat ten 😉💪🖐🖒
nice job
I want a small crawler like that. Which one would you suggest and about how much would you say your cat 10 is worth as is just for comparison?
Thanks and great videos.
Job well done! :-)
After reassembly, where is the generator? Did you relocate it?
It is not on the upper left of engine where it was located at dissassembly.
sweet!
It's Dew time!
Where is the alternatetor? You took off
Like your work 👌🏻💪🏻
Yes, Squatch WHERE is the generator,.??
After watching this video series how come you didn't reinstall the generator?
tracks look new.
That Firewall hole is Mechanical OIL pressure gauge size???
Hole was hacked out to reach the ignition wire? Nothing so fanciful. More likely it was cut out for a gauge of some sort. I've seen that many a time in my career. Overall, that Ten looks pretty good.

what happened to the generator?
What I didn't see the generator on the engine. 🤔
Why did you not install a sealed bearing and eliminate the drip system?
Many people want this old equipment restored to original condition, the way it left the factory, PLUS it isn't like it is going to be put back to work on a daily basis.
I have a cat r-4 parts dozer was wondering if you might no someone that's looking for parts for one no motor just hate to send to junk yard
Noticed did not reinstall generator on left side was this not needed ie did you update to an alternator or ????
Yes, it is a mystery.?? Hopefully, he'll see my reply and give us an update. SQUATCH253 .?.?
Wasn't thee a generator on the left side of the engine?
I had to go back to part one again to make sure I wasn't watching another video. Why did you choose not to put the generator back on?
I didn't see the generator replaced. What happened with it?
what is the heat control for ?
thanks for the reply I would have never figure that one out ! I will watch the video ! i really enjoy watching your videos ! thanks for sharing !
What model tractor/loader was that?
At 13:25 the hole in the dash is there, at 14:00 it is a different dash. Then on the test drive it is back to the holed dash. Hmmmmm. TV magic?
Why didn't you reinstall the generator?
That thing is cleaner that it came from factory
Never seen a carb on the opposite side of the engine from the manifolds. Don’t understand how that would work....
Where's the generator
Did you leave the generator off on purpose squatch
@@squatch253 great idea I was kind of wondering if it was something like that or if it needed to be sent out for service had to do that with forgive me dads 1954 johndeere h
Heat control rod???
It has a heat riser that passes hot exhaust gas through passages in the intake manifold to keep it warm in cold weather so fuel doesn’t condense on the sides of the intake manifold runners.
@@Jeremy-iv9bc Thanks. That was a new one for me.
It has a clutch brake, who knew....
