We have been blessed with 3 videos in a week 😄
Yessssss!!!
real shit
I got surprised by the second one, and then I woke up to a third! 😂 what a time to be alive
Man right I couldn't believe it. This is awesome
Either Matt has a bunch of Good content he’s sitting on :) orrr a fella has just been givin er all fuckin month long ❤ MINT
Why would we be upset? Your money, your choices. You are saving these things one machine at a time and its fun to watch. Good on ya!
That is quickly paid with ad revenue.
Totally agree. 👍
I am upset because I did not get to buy it for $500😂

@@tujuprojectsThat machine would pay for itself in scrap weight alone.
There is NOTHING frustrating about your buying this stuff and dragging it home! That is what makes your work so interesting. Love watching whatever you decide to work on. Reminds me of when I was younger and I'd get calls from my dad. "hey boy, guess what I found? We have to go get it this weekend". I certainly miss those calls.
I think some of the problems are that they need a fluid changes this will let you know what is a problem and what just needs love.
@@danielmuir4470Yeah, the same with most mowers and tillers. I can't believe some of the vinegary crap coming out of so many gas tanks and carbs, on the gas side.
Heck you and another channel have inspired me a side gig. You've made yourself a cool niche.
Any more follow ups on this gem
I swear this old cats don't want to be left for dead. Just got our 966A a few months ago after sitting for a unknown amount of years. Started right up
Matt, you are living the life that many of us would love to live BUT we either don't have the space, the time, the money or the understanding wife!! Keep doing what you're doing. Thanks
37000 views in 2 hours. I don't think any of us are complaining about what you are doing. Keep buying and fixing up these relics. It seems a good formula and working well for you. Your viewers are fans and wish nothing but the best for you and your family.
You are the Taylor Swift of old construction equipment!
500 hmmm is the sheriff tailing you? Lol
You stumbled on a great find. It amazes me that people who own the equipment you get that they have either no knowledge to do what you do or just willing to give up the dollars letting it go for much less then they could get with some effort.
if we would get rid of the last, the other 3 would come themself^^
KEY....! Understanding Wife.... but ya gotta Love'em... 😉
At 71 I can't swing a wrench like I use to, I worked at a car dealership and had a agreement with the used car manager, to buy cars taken in as trades that he didn't want to deal with usually 8 to 10 a year I'd fix them and flip them, now unable to do that I, and am sure like many others I live vicariously watching others, Matt's channel is my favorite.
Much appreciated!
Thanks for taking us along Matt. If you would have passed up this $500 beauty, a lot more of us would have been upset. You just keep doin’ it Matt. Make America great , one Gem at a time. 🇺🇸👍
You will also love Marty T in New Zealand! Also a wonderful channel He can make anything run again! ❤
I have been known to assist a motorcycle dealership like this
These old rigid frame, rear wheel steering Cat loaders are special to me.
From when I was 1, till about 9, in the 90's, me and my parents lived in the bottom floor apartment of a two story house almost as far north as you can get in Norway. All our windows pointed out towards the driveway, where the landlord had a loader like this parked.
I don't remember if it was a 922, 944 or 966, and the thing looked huge to me when I was that little so I can't say too accurately. I *think* it was a 922A.
Either way, the landlord put the machine to use after every snow storm, clearing our parking spaces, and often the parking spaces of our neighbours across the street, and I'd often sit on a dresser in front of my bedroom window and just watch him work that thing for hours. It was so much fun watching it.
Pretty sure that's what sparked my interest in earthmoving equipment. Many pencil drawings, Lego sets, toy models, and an education within the field later, and these machines are still my passion.
Later in life, when I (hopefully) have more space and disposable income, I want to get one of these loaders, fix it up, give it a nice paint job, and put it back to work.
Glad to see you tackling one, as I'm sure you won't let it end up as scrap, but instead give it new life. It deserves it.
Sawmill setup. Short forks to put a log on the mill and simple bucket for sawdust.
back in the days before quick attach hitches were even thought of. Far easier to just chain the bucket on than hammer all those pins out then align and hammer em in again x 2.
I was thinking the forks were for pipe, your guess is probably more accurate. I forget that he is where there is tons of timber.
$500?!? That's awesome!
That’s a funky exhaust! The machine is very good condition and 500 bucks!
I wonder if they were working in a place with trees and kept knocking it off.
My thoughts rain snow intrusion? Maybe exhaust warms up radiator in winter.
@@cujoedamanthat would explain the rops
It was so he could drive it in his horse barn
Probably worth more as scrap than what you bought it for. Good score!
Cat made a 920 model wheel loader at one time.....don't know when it was. It was an articulated machine and looked to be slightly larger than your 922. When I was a young teenager, I worked at a feedlot and we had a 920 setting in the weeds that didn't run and 930 that I ran daily loading feed trucks and also had a 950 that we used to clean pens and push manure with. They are good machines and when your 922 started up, it sounded just like the 920 & 950. Thanks for saving this one.
First machine i ran on railroad 45 years ago. Thanks for the memories
EVERYONE STOP WHAT YOUR DOING!! Matt uploaded a new video.
Lmfao 🤣
I just called in sick!
That's exactly what I did in the middle of math class
I called in sick also!!!!!!
Switching from Csi panty sniffing episode to dc now
Score!
$500 and in great shape except for the bucket and it ran on a cold day.
You find the coolest stuff to rescue.
Thanks Matt for keeping old iron from the scrap yard.
Cheers.
Very cool machine! Sounds great too!
That old stuff is magnetic, it always attracts more
Any updates? Prob fluids filters and some general lovin' get her going.....hint..make a white board flow chart to map your progress and stimulate projects
I haven't seen one of these in 50 years! I trained on the 922! Then moved up to 3 yard Cats and larger Michigan's. Worked in a sand mine. Drove dump trucks with 5x4 spicer trans, those were the days!
Load up the bucket and take a road trip to Illinois and meet up with Wes at Watch Wes work and have him CnC a new bottom for it. As a life time mechanic getting up in age thank you for taking time out of your life and to your wife for letting you spend the time away from from her. You have no idea of how much some of us appreciate what you are doing for us. Thank You
That'd be a cool yt compilation video combo! 👍🏻👌🏻🤔✔️
Amen.
You can't do much better than Mike as a co-star/re-curring guest. Guy's a Gem!!
How could anyone be frustrated with you buying and showing off more equipment?! Keep doing your thing Matt! Best channel out there
11/10 satisfaction seeing you bring these old machines back to life.
Matt’s excitement when something finally fires up is always the best!
Best old iron revival channel on UA-cam
Our first wheel loader was a 922 and my dad still has it but stopped using it due to a massive transmission leak. Ours has an aftermarket fiberglass cab with a heater. The forward reverse knob had to be shaved down to clear the cab. As a young teenager, I had the pleasure to drive it too and from job sites. I discovered the rear steering made road travel quite sketchy while in 2wd second gear.
I love that you keep saving old iron then fixing it up.
They run a Timken Taper bearing top and bottom of the knuckle, for the rear steer to pivot on. Good chance those bearings have collapsed. Been a while since we repaired ours, but think you have to pull the outer planetary hub off, then remove the driveshaft and pull the knuckle, so you can punch out the cone. The Rolling element can be replaced by undoing the external bolts. There's shims to set the drag right. Big rubber seal that goes on the knuckle, wipes the back of the 'ball' to keep the crap out. Ours has been pretty abused and also has a good bend in the drag link from the box to the rear bell crank. The outer tie-rods are exxy from CAT (ours is a 944) so you may have to substitute something there.
That's helpful knowledge, the old stuff was so much easier to work on.
Looks like a perfect sized loader! Hope it repairs easily for you. A great addition to your fleet!
So much respect in your professionalism and thank you for giving the price good luck.
We love it!!! Thanks Matt!
The rear axle will swing, that's its only suspension, that's why it looked cambered over!! Three videos in a week!! Great stuff! Cheers from UK Matt!
Thursday just got whole lot better
Thanks Matt
Can't wait to watch you figure this one out!! Great video!!
This is so awesome, thank you for sharing
That is a B model, it has the longer wheelbase and the arched rear fenders to allow greater rear axle oscillation. Only the 59A series had a turbo D320T engine, all the later series had normally aspirated D330 and D330c in the last couple of years of production.
Thanks for the info!
Im excited to see what’s wrong with the steering it’s been that way for years while it was being used on the farm pretty much just as a large wheel barrow . Hope you have fun with the old steel and I can’t wait to see more videos
I'm looking forward for more videos on this loader. Always wonderful to see videos from you Matt.
You give me hope. Thanks, Matt!
Haha "that's not normally my preferred route" LOL
I thought Matt purchased Ether cans by the pallet load 🤣
I’d say zip ties buys a wie bit more
I would hate to loose the 3850 but if I had to loose one I would be keeping the CAT. Matt you are becoming the luckiest man in the USA with these crazy deals!
I’ve got a few more up my sleeve too!
@@DieselCreek either big sleeves or....😂
Enjoy your videos!! Looking forward to watching what's wrong with the steering!
@@DieselCreekDo tell! PLEASE!!!!!!😁
@@DieselCreek. I know you do and you can count on my interest!
Parts are loose, you lose your wife, money, house,et.
Thank you Matt for the video.
As always great video,thanks Matt
Matt you are one lucky SOB. No-one in their right mind would turn down a buy like that.
The steering/driveline issues sound 'Interesting', I'm looking forward to seeing what's wrong.
Got to like a man with enough projects to be able to chose which one to work on today😀
Cheers from the UK.
Hopefully one "fix" will cure both issues.
That was an awesome buy! Keep on keeping on Matt! Yup there will always be some that have something to complain about , but the fact is you have 743,000 subscribers so you are definitely doing something right. Personally I like all of your videos , no complaints from me. Thanks for taking us along and thumbs UP! 👍
Great video! I'm looking forward to seeing the diagnosis and repair of the steering system and drivetrain issue.
This video floods so many memories in. My great grandfather had a 922 don’t remember if it was a b or not. I spent countless hrs sitting next to him straddling the levers for the bucket and running the controls loading trucks as he drove. Thank you for bringing those back! One day I’d like to find another one. He’s got sold out from under us when he passed.
Have the same, my grandfather bought it brandnew. Still working here in bavaria.
I would love to see another video, showing you service, your new toy, and the sooner the better
Great purchase Matt!!
Thanks for sharing this video with us
She is a keeper.... you know it matt i saw your eyes in that morning coldstart!
Matt you do what makes you happy no one else matters. Be happy Sir! love your content and always look forward to it. Thank you for your time.
Awesome and outstanding bargain.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Runs and looks beautiful. In love with that down facing self cleaning exhaust.
Dude.. You're turning into a hoarder before our eyes. Promise me you will complete 1 project this summer. I'm gonna make it easy on you. I want to see Christine with Windows and you can start her from the cab.
Scattered around thin and into everythin
Christine with windows would be great.
Sounding like someone's wife, lol. There is no such thing as hoarding when it comes to tools, toys, and iron.
Matt is long past the "turning into" a hoarder stage 😅
@@2xKTfcI agree! That already happened years ago! 👍🏻👌🏻🤔🤷🏻♂️🚜🛢️
Thanks for another great video!
I love this thing! It looks like a cute teen loader saying "wait till i grow up to a great big loader" 🙂
HEY! Good morning Matt and thumbs UP! This is a nice surprise video!
I think the bucket and fork combination gives you the option of slamming the fork against the bucket, which can be very helpful while unloading manure.
Great buy Matt
Great video, look forward to next one
Afternoon Matt , Brilliant video Matt watching from Edinburgh Scotland UK 🇬🇧 👏 👍
🏴
Thanks 👍
Perfect job with the horn blow! It’s gotta blow before the camera and thru passing over the camera for that classic awesome sound!
Matt’s excitement when something finally fires up is always the best))))
Can’t wait to see you dive into fixing the issues with the Loader. Keep buying and fixing while we learn from you.
Introduced in 1960, the No.922 Traxcavator was the second Caterpillar wheel loader to be released for sale (the first was the No. 944). Caterpillar initially offered a choice of either a petrol or diesel engine for the No.922. Customers could choose between an 80 horsepower Continental M330 six-cylinder petrol engine and a Caterpillar D320 four-cylinder naturally aspirated diesel, also rated at 80 horsepower. Most customers chose the diesel and the petrol option was withdrawn quite early in the machine’s production run.
A two speed powershift transmission with a high and low range shifter and separate forward and reverse controls made up the rest of the powertrain.
Later, during 1965 the engine was changed to a turbocharged model D330T, still rated at 80 horsepower
I had both a 922b and a 944a. The 922b had the turbo D330T and I thought it was a little under powered, but the 944a, which also had a larger 4 cylinder turbo diesel was a powerful monster!
Not really the smallest Cat wheel loader as Matt said, there was the Cat 910 and 920 introduced later (standard articulated machines). At the time though, the 922 was the smallest in the Cat lineup when introduced.
Cat traxcavators were as the name implies tracked loaders not wheel loaders. There was the 933, 951, 955 and 977 and letter derivations thereof. Then cat moved to the rear engine track loaders. I ran a 955k while working construction in college. It was a beast for a 4 cylinder turbo machine.
@@l0jackeven though you are technically correct, Cat marketed the early wheeled loaders as "Traxcavators" too. There's Cat manuals out there calling them the "Caterpillar 922 Traxcavator"
There's also manuals out there that use "Cat 977A Bulldozer" too, so there were some naming inconsistencies in earlier Cat model years.
@@l0jack The Traxcavator name was a direct reference to the Trackson Company of Milwaukee who Caterpillar had bought out in 1951 to obtain its loader technology.
Matt, you're a graveyard junkie. You salvage some cool stuff. Cat loader,ok. And Carter Schnabel spent 10 million on a new cat D11 dozer to push dirt up in the Yukon to mine gold with. Always nice when they fire up and you jump up and down like a little kid you're so happy. Just like I do. Its a great feeling to bring these behemoths back to life.
Parker Schnabel?
Don't you mean Parker Schnabal
Yes, Parker, thanks.
@@stephenreiner1523Damn spellcheck! 😁
Congratulations on this purchase, it is going to be awesome for the farm. Great video Matt. Thank you for sharing 😀
Thanks Matt, helps a lot.
Yes, I want to see you service the 922. Thanks, Matt.
Buy what you want and fix what you want. I'll watch you dig in the dirt Matt. Have fun, be safe.
awesome find!!
20:43 hey matt the levers on the left side of the seat are for 4wd or 2 wd the lever on the bottom is for 2wd and 4wd the other one is high and low they are definitely definitely a handful but they can dig and push
The 4WD is low range and 2WD is high range stop to shift the transfer case. Then the other lever is the powershift two speed. It should always drop out of engagement when engine stops and must be pulled back into speed 1or 2 whereupon it will stay engaged until you stop engine again. Select neutral on F-N-R beside steering wheel and set parking brake before getting off. Can also put transfer case in neutral but the torque converters are so loose that they don’t lurch and start rolling if you bump the reverser lever into F or R unless engine was revved up maybe.
Not like a Deere! No torque converters on those. You bump the reverser, it’s going so always select a neutral some other way on a Deere! Don’t rely on the reverser!
Thursday morning surprise … Good Morning Diesel Creek Kids!!
Good morning 🇹🇹
I have been restoring a 950 caterpillar wheel loader one of ther first when they interduced the line its number is 347. Your B looks to be in awesome shape matt!
950 is much newer
Thank you for the videos ! I can’t wait to see the next videos! Thank you 😊
i used to run a 70s 950 cat loader back in the day ... great machines ... hope you get it fixed up ... ill bet youll love it!!!
That’s awesome, those old 922s are sweet little machines and it’s awesome you got it for 500
I love it! Thursday lunchtime and Matt uploads a new video! cool
Greetings from Germany 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome, keep up the good work. Love your channel
AWESOME MATT , KEEP'EM COMING !!! 🤘🤘
Matt: No one should negatively comment on you buying equipment like this for $500! That is far less than the scrap value of the machine. However you resurrected her! I only wish that I would be able find and buy such a piece of equipment.
No need to apologize. We are as hooked on the latest find phenomenon as you are.
Nice score!! Looking forward to your discovery video.
Love your content. Thank you
Two videos on one week!?!
I must be in heaven.
This is a cool loader...would like to see multi part restore... More than just start and drive away.
Keep the videos coming. love them
Thanks!
Thanks! Matt!
Thanks so much!
Nice find! Interesting roof/maybe ROPS setup.
Great little loader , looking forward to you putting her right, thanks for sharing 👍💨💨
Makes me happy to see a brother get a sweet deal, that’s a good looking loader , hopefully the fixes going forwards are not overly expensive , with a rebuilt bucket and lose that head frame she,ll be eating her keep in no time! Look forwards to seeing her coming along , needs the turbo engine!
I agree on your purchase, a good deal for the price for sure. Looking forward to the teardown/analysis. Nice to pick up something that you get running with minimal effort and then get it loaded under its' own power. Thanks
$500 is a great deal in my opinion, probably worth more in scrap. Not that it should be scrapped. Great video!
Great buy Matt great video thanks
You buying more machines is not frustrating Matt, it’s sometimes exactly what I personally like to watch. Keep it up mate.
The part we love about Matt is he said. "I dont need another forked loader Ill put the bucket on" and completely ignored the fact that he probably doesn't need another loader in general.
No I need a good loader with a bucket.
All@@DieselCreek has now for a bucket loader is the backhoe and that's 2WD. This loader is 4WD and won't get stuck so easily.
@@NSEasternShoreChemist yup and quite a bit bigger
I am currently in America on holiday (Niagara falls at mo) from the uk. We driving across America and we’re only about 500 miles in and my wife so fed up with me saying slow down that might be diesel creek as we pass a pick up towing some junk… I mean saveable equipment 😂 peace and love Matt thanks for the vids!!!
thanks matt
Great Content........ Love watching your videos!
I love all your new machines! It's always exciting to see what you do with it!
