Just as a tip, Don’t need to separate the track.. next time pull the grease fitting out, collapse the front idler the entire way . Jack up the rear end and pull the track over the sprocket , then pull the slack forward. Unbolt the tensioner ( 4 bolts ) . We did two new ones on our td8 in about 3 hours . Have fun!
Just a quick word, when you cold start the TD8, lift the throttle of the stop position and put it in the next slot up, just big enough for the throttle to fit. that is i think a cold start assist, it dumps more fuel inand should stop thr need for easy start 🤫🤫🤔🤔
@@dieseJL just wanted to throw that out there but if do run across any from a quarry or something like that makes it a lot easier but can't wait for next
next time you hammer an end pin into it . just put tape on the part you hit.. pen is made of hardened steel. and can easily break pieces off with hitting.
If the pins are as bad as the one you showed you just as well get the track R&R'd, get the pins turned, bushings replaced and new pads where needed or youll be doing this again.
I think back in the day instead of getting the correct pin for it they shoved a piece of hot rolled in there for a master pin. It kind of wore disproportionately. The tracks are not great by any means but for 100 hours a year we use it she will last for a while.
you guys do a fantastic job with working but on filming don't get very very close to the object your working on with the camera other than that you do a very good job overall
Later in the video I noticed you are not in the cold start position. Right off of the bottom on the left hand side is that large hole. Put the throttle lever there it will start way easier. Those engines flood the cylinder with fuel to build compression.
Ok who's the better golfer out of the family? I bet Papa JL can throw down a mean round!
He can beat me any day yeah

Curses… that would’ve made things a little easier
Gosh looks like room inside! somehow! Welcome to the world of iron tired tractors-
love it. Looks like a great little machine. It must suck working in the snow
Best dozer ever made

Yeah I’ve heard that before but I’ve never tried it. I need to try it and adjust it!!
Cool you get to work with your Pops bro.
Yeah we have some good fun
A little Tip on installing the new pin .put the pin in some dry ice for a hour and it will slide in. no hammer needed
One of these days I will have me one
We always put the seal in hot water to soften first.
Do you guys have mining belt up there makes it a lot easier than tires for sure I'm in VA so we have plenty of it but love each video watch everyone
Thanks! No belt laying around just lots and lots of tires

could you tel me were you got that thing to repair track a jaster tool you welded that to
The track pin press? I made it

Wow that was a hard start. Did you put it in the cold start position? I have the same dozer and Hardly ever need the go juice.

Yeah I’ve never tried it. Not sure why. But I will!!
@@dieseJL that's the purpose of it lol. Let it idle for a minute or so then you can lift the handle to a idle.
Just torch the pad bolts off, its faster. You'll probably have to cut the master pin out too.
Map gas torch or oxy torch
would have helped
3/4 Milwaukee is where it's at
Weak sauce
If you would have put that seal in oil in the microwave for a minute it would have went on much easier with less chance of damaging it.
😃
Really....yeah.....really. 🤣🤣
Modern starting fluid (ether) isn't as potent as it once was.
Probably not a bad thing haha
can't watch any more
What a pair of amateurs I could've done it in a quarter of the time.oh dear.😂😂
