Now that you serviced the tractor n cleaned it..and this n that..time to keep it out of the rain/snow/weather in a nice glass shed 😊 ya goofy m8te from Australia
You are an inspiration to all of your channel watchers whether we understand heavy equipment or not. You have a great work ethic and a dry and very funny sense of humor. Please keep up the good work!
New subscriber here, brother. I live one county away from Diesel Creek Matt. What a great place for your daughters to be kids - adventures in nature plus eventually learning how to be mechanics and heavy equipment operators! You live in a beautiful part of the world, brother. Wes Pittsburgh USA
We used to drain the oil on machines and put it trough an milkfilter( paper filter on an funnel shaped holder). The filtered oil can be used for a lot of things, we used it for our chainsaws or even fill up our ancient machinery in between oil changes when they use some oil. Easiest way to check if the oil is nay good, after filtration is just put some between your fingers and rub them together. Water will make it rough as well as dirt. Also for use of making wooden poles rot resistent by putting the ends in a bucket with oil and some diesel and let it soak for a night. The wooden beams wil not rot for many decades to come😂 Really enjoy your vids👍👍👍👍 this weekend can not go bust anymore😊 thanks for another great vid👍 together with dieselcreek and andrew camarata i think you guys make the best vids ( every one in their own specific way) on the internet🍺🍺🍺
One of my neighbours was a former shell ceo, as long as the oil between your fingers is really slick, he would not change it in his car😂 he was from the development department and called most oilchanges scamms😂😂😂
Imagine if you’d taken it to a Service Agent to do that work! The labour costs alone would be astronomical. I’ll give you 10/10 for commitment and tenacity Andris. Holding my breath for Part 2. Oh, and, make a greenhouse 🌻🌷🪴for your mum out of that glass from your Santa friend. I’m sure she’d appreciate it. Cheers from Australia🔧🔩⚙️🇦🇺🦘
Yes it would have been huge. The previous owner did this and he showed me the bill. They did not much work on it (maybe 20% what i did in this video) and the price was around 4k$
That was satisfying watching you pressure wash it, a hundred pounds lighter now. Boy the blade linkages are clapped out, but you certainly have experience fixing them. Cool birthday present 🎁.
That FOV of the dozer had me on edge. I was bracing for an explosion. Eider firing a tank shell from it or just spontanious combustion. A+++ Would watch again.
I thought the opening few minutes were you and your humoristic ways at there very best ,Andris, the driving it down to the workshop was pure magic, ,,then it got all serious which is also OK as servicing a massive monster like the dozer is a very methodical job, and even though you joke a lot you are a bit of a perfectionist at what you do,.You too have a fab weekend, Pamela
Anti Panti , you make my day . If things get stuck , Blend 50% ATF-oil and 50% Aceton . Shake it in a oilcan and pump som over the schrews and wait over night . Works every time . Cheaper than WD 40 and 100 % stronger . (You must shake it every time you use because it separated in the can) - Free advise from very old man i the Swedish forrest . 🥸
Don't let this go to your head or anything, but I just watched an hour+ video from you hero AC and I have to tell you that your channel is so much better. I like the fact that you don't have a huge budget. I like the fact that your commentary is Grade A. I really like the fact that you work hard and make things work even if it's wrong. You should have 5 million subs, but I don't mind that you're one of the best kept secrets of YT. I will never send you a gift.
Great video as always! I watched it a couple of days ago and then realized I hadn't left a comment (thought about it when you commented on my "big project" video,LOL). I am worried that "Old Blue" my get jealous about the amount of time you are spending with "Big Yellow".😂
30$ for the carwash, here in texas we have big car washes for heavy equipment and semi trailers. The water is cheap the degreaser is what costs $$ probably around 200$ for a complete "carwash"
We just wash the oil filter for the turbo and its ok. The oil filter for the engine (centrifu....😅) you almost opened. After you unscrew the 32 or 36 mm nut it doesnt always fall apart, sometimes you need to hit it with hamer or something to get those two parts opened/seperated. It is important to clean the inside of it. Also there you can see if you have small metal peaces to your used oil and then you know if your engine is bad😅. Small amount of metal peaces is okey but if you find a lot of them then you know your engine have few time left ti live. Anyway nice video. It was fun to watch. I hope you understood what I said, because my english is really bad😁
Really cool that a subscriber hooked you up with a manual for that beast. The filters are so different than machines in the states. It may also be because of the age. Great job sorting all this work out. Excellent video!
i think it's something some. Let's be honest, all soviets did back in the day was steal designs from USA and rebrand them as "soviet made" :D This dozer is actually very similar to CAT D6
Hydraulic oil is hygroscopic, that's why there is rust, the moisture content is high and will darken the fluid. It will rust the pump and other components causing excessive wear.. it's probable haven't been changed in years, if ever. Wouldn't go wrong by changing it Lift pump was leaking, they couldn't or wouldn't get a replacement, they removed it
@@Ants_Pants *- If you ever do use a pump-jack to hold up the bottom pan so you can take it down for some kind of repair work, you could also re-thread the bolt hole if it was cross threaded.* *- Clearly it is not leaking oil and messing with it is not needed, thank heavens.*
I like your shirt! You have more patience and stamina than anyone I know. I can’t believe I am watching someone doing maintenance on a dozier but I am happily watching you, I can’t wait until your next episode. Have a wonderful weekend, take care
Good call in doing the service. Great thanks to the shout out as well. I think the rake breaking was like I have had it with this work.🤣 It's just my guess but maybe the T-170 high pressure fuel pump has been swapped out to a remanufactured pump later? It looks kind of very newish to say the least. I could not find the year when they switched over to the newer style high pressure fuel pump. The high pressure fuel pump on these is a old CAT D4/D6 clone/remanufactured variant. The one on your T-40 is a UTN-5 that is a old Bosch inline pump being redesigned by soviet engineers in the 60s. I would not be surprised if these where the old OEM paper elements in the hydraulic filter. Over all good and very decent progress, keep on going.
Spray some penetrator oil or spray om the over drives plug it should help it and use a long extension bar to help you open it plus the penetrator spray can help on mostly anything you need loosening or lubricant on
Every time after a short ride with the dozer you need a landscape gardener , for one who likes that can be nice . So you can also redsign your Garden !
Hi Andries, can I just confirm that this is a ChTZ-Uraltrak T-170 bulldozer please? I have been doing some reading and this dozer is renowned for its reliability and power, so it would seem you made a very wise investment in it. There’s no two ways about it, regular maintenance is the key to keeping them going and also a great way to learn the ins and outs of your machine as now you have set benchmarks. Love your videos and there content and your comments and remarks always make me chuckle. Well done and please keep them coming. I hope your channel grows bigger for sure. Seeing you working in the snow in the past, the glass definitely needs to go towards building a glass house for winter veggies. Cheers from Australia
@@Ants_Pants hello Two cylinders are used and each cylinder has a sump of their own You can get most of the oil from one of the drainage plugs and all of the oil using both You are very entertaining to watch and you have done a great job with the house repairs and the property maintenance Cheers
I love that the fam was in the background giggling while you were running that monstrosity around the yard. And learning to start the beast must be like learning to play a musical instrument...lol. Cheeeeeers Andris!
Thank you Mr.Ants ,another week end who star with you and a great video, i like every want you fix,imlear a lot and thank you for sharing,have a nice week end 👍👍👍👍
Santa bring you more work/projct to do 😉😉😉😉.... VERY good work 👌👌👌on your dozer (including the very underrated benefit of cleaning/pressure wash the machine on a regular basis) I believe your dozer never had so much maintenance since new. About final drive plug; I do have succes by removing rusty plug with; 1- wire brush to remove most of the rust 2- than soak/spray it with high viscosity penetrating liquid to follow/penetrate the tread 3- do it/repeat it until it get loose. Sometime heat/torch can help a lot also. Can take some time (believe me...) Nice to see things are going well for you. Looking for Part 2 ✌✌✌✌✌
I think it is fantastic, first clean the machine. I see comments that it is a waist of time to clean. Dad ran a large shop until retirement. They had a sign, i remember. “OUR SHOP IS CLEAN OUR TOOLS ARE CLEAN OUR COVERALLS ARE CLEAN KEEP IT THAT WAY CLEAN YOUR EQUIPMENT OR DON’T BRING IT IN. that was the busiest shop in the area. They wouldn’t touch anything that was greasy mud, dirt packed, dripping with oil, there was a hose and wash station next door. That was quite busy. People, farmers, realized it cost less to have their people,children clean their equipment than to take filthy stuff to . Joes fixit.
Ant, you are the funniest Mofo on youtube and like Superman you are stronger than steel! LOL. You deserve your own TV show. Keep posting videos brother and I'll keep watching. Love your channel.
That was a really good episode Andris. Phenomenal amount of problem-solving which shows your ingenuity to the max. I loved the check sheet but also so impressed with your ability to work on difficult to reach nuts, plugs and other stuff in such confined spaces. I wonder that the Soviets didn't want to have bigger spaces to make maintenance easier... Look forward to Part II. Best wishes
Informative episode. Fun looking at that old machinery with your sense of humor. Looked like the hydralic oild filter was jammed in ther whish squished it? Have a great weekend :)
Lots of work! Really messy! LoL But if I had my own bulldozer I would gladly do it too! You could make you mother and or wife a green house out of that glass or in close a porch for the cooler times of year. Whatever you do I’m sure it will be great! As always, enjoy the videos!😊
Just havin loads of fun! Amount of iron filings on the engine oil plug magnet seemed relatively small to me. Not good ofcourse but for a machine like that it is probably a win. A thing about copper gasket rings. If they look good I reuse them, but only after anealing them first. I also aneal new ones. Makes them softer and there is no need t tighten them til kingdome comes. Just heat 5hem until the glow good and driop them into water, or just letting them cool on something non cobustable. Nice video as usual. Great thanks!
@@Ants_Pants btw. Forgot to precise what I said about the iron filings on the oil plug magnet. Probabaly it is there due to the thinned out oil. Just be vigilant and keep a keen eye on the levels and viscosity. If that amount of iron filings keeps on accumulating despite correct oil condituons then you need to start plan the new video series on how to extract, renovate and restart a magnificent piece of Soviet motoring. 😄👍
Thank you for doing this, it is so nice to see this old and reliable machines come back in shape, they sound like real machines too in that time 👍👍 I will absolutley see episode 2 and 3 when i get time.
In my family the first 5 were girls, then my brother. (finally). When we reached our teens my dad would make us help him do maintenance on the cars. Fluid & filter changes, brakes etc. He was afraid that if we never got married, we at least have basic knowledge and not get ripped off by repair shops. I actually found your video very interesting. As for all those windows? I imagined a new and improved greenhouse. In case you run out of things to do. Ha Ha. When you mentioned your grandfather, it occurred to me that I found your early video on how you came to live in your house and the history fascinating. Could you do a new recap for some of your subscribers? Have a great weekend! Ohio
@@Ants_Pants Sorry, I was vague. I recall you saying your grandparents worked on the property when it was used as a nursing home? I can't remember, but glad you and your family now live there. Your reconstruction was monumental and thought newer subscribers would find it inspiring. Again, thank you.
I love watching your videos. Freaking amazing to watch your confidence and abilities. Is there anything you can’t do?!!! I’m a girl and I’d rather watch this than any other channel ! And your sense of humor floors me!
Have a great weekend everyone!
You too Ants Pants and family
Thank you and you too Andris
You as well!
Same to you my friend!!🎉

Back into the fuel tank , them old diesels will burn oil just as good as diesel
Thanks man. really cool of you to mention AC and MATT. Love them both
As long as you realize that even clean used oil has lost lubercating property’s. Don’t use it for serious lube.
One of my neighbours was a former shell ceo, as long as the oil between your fingers is really slick, he would not change it in his car😂 he was from the development department and called most oilchanges scamms😂😂😂

Just heat 5hem until the glow good and driop them into water, or just letting them cool on something non cobustable.
Nice video as usual.
Great thanks!
Thanks for the tips mate
@@Ants_Pants btw. Forgot to precise what I said about the iron filings on the oil plug magnet. Probabaly it is there due to the thinned out oil. Just be vigilant and keep a keen eye on the levels and viscosity. If that amount of iron filings keeps on accumulating despite correct oil condituons then you need to start plan the new video series on how to extract, renovate and restart a magnificent piece of Soviet motoring. 😄👍
Oh snap 😂😂😂
@@Ants_Pants something to look forward to!🤑🥴🤪
(Fingers crossed for not to)
Thank you for doing this, it is so nice to see this old and reliable machines come back in shape, they sound like real machines too in that time 👍👍 I will absolutley see episode 2 and 3 when i get time.
Hope you enjoy
i think you should add a soft bristle brush to your cleaning of filters. and high pressure air is also quite helpful to blow out after a rinse.
Yup
@@Ants_Pants still enjoying your content. Thankyou.
In my family the first 5 were girls, then my brother. (finally). When we reached our teens my dad would make us help him do maintenance on the cars. Fluid & filter changes, brakes etc. He was afraid that if we never got married, we at least have basic knowledge and not get ripped off by repair shops. I actually found your video very interesting. As for all those windows? I imagined a new and improved greenhouse. In case you run out of things to do. Ha Ha.
When you mentioned your grandfather, it occurred to me that I found your early video on how you came to live in your house and the history fascinating. Could you do a new recap for some of your subscribers? Have a great weekend! Ohio
Recap of what? Main house?
@@Ants_Pants Sorry, I was vague. I recall you saying your grandparents worked on the property when it was used as a nursing home? I can't remember, but glad you and your family now live there. Your reconstruction was monumental and thought newer subscribers would find it inspiring. Again, thank you.
I think you have to re-visit the oil filter it was so close to being apart a few taps on the case after backing off the top nut , great episode
Great point!
WITH EVERY THING I SEE FROM EVERY CHANNEL WHAT HAS TO DO WITH THE OLD SOVIET BLOC, IT AMAZES ME HOW ANYONE IS EVEN ALIVE ON THAT SIDE OF THE PLANET!
😂😂😂
Great maintenance video
thanks.
I love watching your videos. Freaking amazing to watch your confidence and abilities. Is there anything you can’t do?!!! I’m a girl and I’d rather watch this than any other channel ! And your sense of humor floors me!
