    I'm 79 and have worked on these gas start diesels for most of my life. As I watched this I said to myself; "For a guy who doesn't know what he needs to know, he's doing alright". And you are. Keep it up.

    Nice Find. Crawler is in decent shape for sitting.
    The compression lever doe multiple things.
    Beside the obvious changing of the intake valves, when in Diesel mode, It locks the float in the Carb
    Stopping gas, grounds out the Mag stopping spark.
    You don't need to shut gas off before switching.
    However it's recommended to shut gas off after starting
    That rear winch is a Cable control power unit for pulling a scrapper.
    That's a UD 14 Engine in a TD14 Crawler as mentioned.
    There notornis for cracking the head.
    Don't run it hot and let it idle for a few minuets before stopping.
    Had 2 TD14 and TD18A back in the day.

His personality and edits are amazing. Also him having friends that make music that he gets to use really adds production quality. Very similar to Matt at diesel Creek. He has buddies that make original music too. In my opinion that can immediately set you apart from other creators.

    The injection pump oil is separate from main engine, fill port is on top and has a bleed screw you fill until it comes out
    Shifter has a shift lock tied to clutch, if clutch lever isn't fully forward it won't let you shift gears (rod with turn buckels from bottom of clutch lever)

    In the early 1980's when I was in high school, my dad borrowed what I remember as a late 1930's International dozer that we used to push out 20 acres of citrus trees. Was very similar but me recollection of it was the gas system was on the left hand side of the engine and the throttle was a big C shaped handle dead center of the panel. To start it you pulled the throttle back past center which engaged the gas system and shut down the diesel. After starting it on gas you would quickly push the throttle handle past the detent forward which shut down the gas and engaged the diesel. I spent a lot of hours mowing down trees on it.

    Yes, your injector pump should have motor oil in it . That lever you thought was high and low is your forward and reverse. I've had seat time on a 58 d2 . It had rope start pony motor . More than once that rope knot hit me in the face . Good video. I especially like your editing skills .

My Dad was born in 1923 so when World War II started he had already went through the Great Depression as a young boy. His Dad was 53 when he was born. Dad was 18 in 1941 so he enlisted in the US Army. My uncle also enlisted. One of my first memories in the early 1960's when I was in diapers was Dad on an old red tractor in the garden behind the house. I would love my own land, a 2 story old home, big barn, shop, etc. I would save a lot of old Made in the USA tools, vehicles, etc. Soon it will happen. Keep it up and see you soon.

    The first International dozer I saw was a TD24 cable. My neighbour was clearing farm land. Started up on petrol then after warmed up, he would kick in the diesel pump and bring it to life. He just turned off the petrol after all had settled to idle. I remember seeing the dizzy and the 6 spark plugs on the right side. Nice wide seat, and had a big bush canopy to protect us from falling tree limbs. This machinery guided me into a long career amongst earthmoving industry...
    Thanks for an entertaining episode, you sure do get excited when that smoke erupts, much like Matt....😅

      YES indeed my operator friend. In the late 1979 era, worked for a mainline sewer construction company 😊 we had the newer 125 & 175 International track loader on the sewer job. I mainly
      Hoe- packed the mainline crew and then dug side sewer stubs, for a huge project
      I ran a Case 680 with Hoe- Packer and a
      Dynahoe-190 digging side sewer stubs 😊
      I loved how beefy the Dynahoe was compared to the Case 680 😊 so in 2003
      I saw a (1978)190 two wheel drive for sale. It leaked on the front lift cylinders like a raging river when you lifted the front bucket plus it had no brakes ( the Dynahoe had a different system) for lock out of the back tires for skid steering. 😊
      I just had to have her. Believe it or not the two front dump cylinders are starting to leak badly from seals "NOW" in 2024, from maintenance records I got, they have never been resealed. So they last a long time. Dynahoe were made by Bucyrus Erie till the mid 1980s. Then BE quite making there construction line of equipment and just stuck with very BIG mining. CAT approached BE a couple of years back
      On buying out there mining line of very big Rope shovels. The shareholders of BE gave to "OK" and basically Cat repainted the big BE rope shovel ( Cat Yellow 🟡)
      But the shovel are still all BE engineering
      I wanted a piece of BE history with OWNING my Dynahoe-190 she is a beast
      19000 pounds, and has long dipper arm
      19 feet standard digging depth. There were operators back in 1979 that called them ( Dynapigs) I liked the Dynahoe because you can put a Hammer breaker on Backhoe end, and she will break up anything all day long. For me she is my back yard toy. I just dug out a gravel pad on the side of my house for my
      1971 SeaGrave Fire ENGINE 🚒 and my NEW buy a 1989 Spartan Gladiator FD
      Engine. The Dynahoe took out seven "BIG" maple tree stumps like butter. On first dig under root base the stumps just turned over very easily 😊 it also pulled up all my driveway cement and dug the trench for replacing the water line with new piping under new driveway. I did cement all in front of my house so I can park FD engine there as a second parking spot. I Love the Detroit Diesels in all three of my babys 😊

      ​@@rp1645, interesting story about the large backhoes you operated yrs ago. I googled to find the specs, but I haven't ever seen those models in Oz. I noticed the dozer in this video was sporting a power pack for cable control. Looked to me like a LeTourneau unit. Cable equipment was still popular when I started out but the advent of hydraulic control really opened up infinite options. I became a field mechanic and serviced and repaired all sorts of construction & mining equipt. Enjoyed a rewarding career.. I liked your picture of the Dynahoe 190.....

      Glad you were able to see my Backhoe, finding my videos. I also have a 1971 SeaGrave engine
      And am getting a 1989 Spartan Gladiator pumper. The backhoe has a (353 DD) the SeaGrave has a (8V-71 none turbo) and the Spartan has a ( 92 Series DD) with a Allison
      Automatic. That way my wife who BADLY wanted to drive the Fire Engine in a Parade

    On the farm, we used to fight wasps with gasoline from a pressurized aluminum tree sprayer. Or, to use simpler terms: a bomb. Fighting those wasps so often, I learned that they will only patrol about 4-5 feet from the nest. So, when a later accidentally stepped in a bumblebee nest, I retreated 5-6 feet. And a bumblebee got me on the upper lip. Turns out they'll go MUCH farther to get you than a wasp will.
