I don’t think that machine hasn’t seen any fluid since the soviets gave birth to it!! What a video, very very good. The self control you have is amazing, does nothing worry you. You will have a go at anything, and whatever you do it’s to a high standard. Love watching you work, keep it up. Amazing video and an amazing man. 👍

Another great video Andris. Thank you. Your content deserves far more than 31.4K subscribers. When I view your peer group, your content is certainly equal if not better. Your viewers / subscribers owe you the responsibility to keep promoting and sharing your channel.
Yep, what a bunch of metal. The quantity of fluid that the dozer has to shift around means it needs to be a powerful beast! What a huge amount of grease, oil and lubricants! Glad you have the manual but I prefer your checklist, especially 'Don't die'. So, some therapeutic zip line stuff with the family is just what you need. Thanks again Andris for a great video and facing the challenge and might of Soviet engineering!
@9:05 I laughed as the backup oil catch tray floated away! I'm sorry I laughed but good for you, you had the thick mil plastic spread out to catch the mess.
There is something oddly satisfying about watching fluid and filter changes on large machinery and this was the messiest I have seen, but great to watch. Cheers Ants Pants
I believe the "mystery" bolt (with lock nut) located on the brake band housing(?) is a brake band adjustment bolt. If that's what it is, it's purpose is to slightly raise the brake band off of the brake drum, & prevent the brake band from dragging on the drum, when the brake (for right or left side tracks) is not applied. Similar bolts (with lock nuts) are on my bulldozer's brake band housings.
Another video to savour and it surprised me how easy most of those filler bolts opened , and let me guess,, the Dozer is gonna be Blue , Lovely touch at the end with the children on the rope glide ,Andris,,,,,Pamela,,💐💐
A air needle gun would probably clean those square holes in the drain plugs my friend, those needles in there would clean it out and even rust too! You can tell nobody did much maintenance on the dozer in the past brother! It’s good to see you taking care of your equipment my friend! 👌🏻👍🏼👍🏼
If you put that old hydraulic oil in a 44 gallon drum with a wood fire underneath and cook it for a number of hours, until the oil separates out the golden colour good stuff from the sludge at the bottom. No need to give it to a big oil recycling company to profit off of. Dont mix the engine oil with the hydraulic oil. But cook both and recycle yourself. This is a African tip. Good video today Antz
Might to be helpful. Have it professionally tested. Grade, compatibly with other oil, contamination purity. Lubercation property’s. Just to name a few. Pre ww2 oil’s did not mix well. Caused sever problems.
Thank you for a year of fun, learning and good vibes. Happy summer Andris!! I will continue to enjoy you during my vacation. The sea awaits me! A hug. Carlos.
Echoing other folks - another great episode, both the craft you bring in doing this work combined with the well done video work (loved the inside pressure washing angles, under the dozer shots, etc). Keep it up, stay positive. And seeing the kids enjoying the fruits of your creativity and labor brought a smile to my face.
What a wonderful episode, the directions looked so complicated, I don’t know how in the world you understand them. I’m glad you didn’t die fixing it! Your children are so cute!Have a fantastic weekend M8
New subscriber here, and I LOVE the vidz! The content, the humor, the editing are all spot on. So from Nashville, Tennessee, here's wishing you all the success in the world. 😊
That was a big, messy, complicated job; you really work hard! Great idea to have a list - very helpful to keep all your tasks organized and not miss anything.
Just a tip from an ex mechanic when you are greasing any bearing,roller etc as soon as you see the new grease emerging stop as after that point all you are doing is wasting new grease and creating a dirt magnet. Also wipe off the excess grease to deter from making a dirt magnet. Regards.
With all this maintenance, the dozer will ''fly'' and will survive you. At 00h40, I'm very happy it went so well for you. Very good work you did. Awaiting next video 👍👍👍
Loved the cussing in your language. I think it translates to "Oops I spilt some oil ". Always happens when draining oil. You can have the best gear available, but it never goes in or completely misses the container🤣🤣🤣🤣 Great channel, Brilliant content. MARK uk
Saturday morning at 08:09 am.Lets have some fun so that i can wake up slowly. And some very strong coffee. 12:40 - It looks like someone is pooping on you foil, haha. 33:50 - It is possible backwards that VW used Russian Dozer parts, haha. 39:08 - My tought is clean it first with the high pressure washer. ;-) 52:53 - It looks like you driving around with some mother nature things, haha. At the end i can't wait for episode 3. Well done this big job until now.
When you were jacking up the big Russian bulldozer I thought that jack wasn’t going to stop sinking into the ground until it hit Australia. The dozer is looking good. I’ve been watching the news and waiting for a report of a madman leveling off Estonia in a big Russian bulldozer but haven’t seen anything yet. I had an idea for your zip line. You could build a reel for the rope with a handle on it so you could just crank the rope onto the reel instead of standing there pulling it in by hand. It looks like the zip line is going faster this year and looks like the kids are having a lot of fun on it. Hope the family is doing good and keep up the great videos.
Mr CamarANTa ! Good work whith the Bulldozer ! Slick job . - Let the oil lay on the ground and you have a fine turmac-road . Fore free ! ( Whith the black cap you have you look like a happy woodpicker ! ) 🤪 KM
So nice to watch you and the girls having fun with the awesome zip line! That was the worst hydraulic oil I’ve ever seen, about time that bulldozer got some attention though, nice work!!!
I would try to replace the bearings and seals in your rollers before they eat through the shafts and you have to make new shafts or buy new rollers. I made new shafts for an allis chalmers HD7 carrier roller and sent them off to be case hardened then i ground them to size. This was cheap to do compared to new. They look very similar to early allis chalmers design.
Just sat done and watch this, what you can do with the rollers that need seals is where the plug is to fill with oil drill & tap the plug for a grease nipple
I’m happy to see the bottom rollers we’re good and had oil in them, the top rollers got bad probably due to the tracks being to tight and pulling on the bearings more than the others and the front idler roller gets the most tension that’s why it went bad, you prob could replace the bearings and seals fairly easy, but I think the track tension is to high
I tried to open one of them up. But the thread is damaged and was unable to crank it open. Even the nutbuster crapped out. Your right though about the tension
Great video I love old equipment more than the new equipment because it’s the 4 father to the modern just imagine how much effort it took in the year it was made and what the cost was to make it and to think of the price it’s going to be in the future too
WOW! That thing should run like brand new now! As you know, I just bought a new house. I don't think I have enough money left to buy all of the grease and oil this thing takes. Love watching the kids on the zip line. It's funny, I don't speak the language but I can pretty much tell what they are saying. Kids are the same around the world.🥰PS: I'm sorry you found out I took a crap in your dozer. I'm not sorry I did it, just sorry you found out.😁😂😇
Howdy from the Northwoods of Minnesota, love and respect all. If you drive it up on wood blocks it be easier to get bucket under drains. Hopefully you good for long time on finials. I hated doing the D8 we had. Drain plug was way up above skid plate. You always got a bath in oil.
This is a little late but here goes when we brain these types of units we drill with magnetic bit in the center of the plug bottom using a bit that correlate to the of of a hose or tuning we have selected when finished drilling a quick change from drill to tube or hose is all the risk of spill age we have to deal with. As far as the hole in plug goes we can weld up the hole or replace the plug ,make sure to use anti seize sparingly.done in the field this can attract the wrong type of attention with the wrong people . some people turn a quart of oil in to the exon Valdes !I enjoy your channel very much. Have a great day
To bring your trolley back after sliding down mount a car windshield wiper motor with a capstan drum on the railing. Now wrap the line once or twice around the drum & apply tension, the trolley returns with a minimum of effort.
I so enjoy you channel....you have an excellent command of english....your use of english swear words does not become your intelligence and obvious professional schooling and demeanor!
Another excellent video Andris . I had to catch up on your video's I had been on vacation. I am so glad Andrew helps solve some of your mechanical problems do you go on his channel and chat with him? I will be looking forward to seeing your next episode. Always a pleasure to watch your video's. I hope all the things you did makes a big difference in the way the machine operates and runs and handles. Until next weeks episode have yourself a great weekend and week.
lesson for the day, build a dirt dam before undoing drain plugs maybe. great to see the zipline being enjoyed also. will you be giving the bulldozer a name? dirt pusher 2000, grass wrecker 5000, grass mowing next leveler, soviet stump stomper etc
1:00:00 Ya know, to stop that liquid glub glubing like that, you pour it from the other side; literally OVER the handle. My Daddy taught me that. He was born in 1915 and lived 98 years.
I still watch Diesel Creek and Andrew Camarata but i'm a much bigger fan of Andris! Another solid vid and as much as i'll never work on an old Ruskie dozer, i still found it interesting. Cheers Lad!
Front idlers I think take a NLGI 00 grease. Pull plug and stick tube in all way and pump grease in and purge old out. So tube needs to fit loosely in plug hole. There an old Alis Chalmers heavy equipment on UA-cam that shows procedure
I know one thing Andris, those Littles ones will never forget the fun they had with you. They'll be talking about that into their old age.😊👍
Yep, the best days of their lives for sure.
True
Ready for part 2,3,4 a d a whole lot more. Best channel on youtube
😇
Me2!
For someone who doesn't know anything, you sure get a lot done!
Lucky
Lmao
So that's how a dozer poops 😄 Diesel Creek would be proud Ants 👍
😅😅 poop the loop
Will I ever be near one of these behemoths? No. Will I watch you service one? Yes.
😅
We watch you work so hard in your videos and it's really nice to see you having fun with your family.
😊 thank you
Can't wait for the next instalment. Thank you.😊
You're welcome 😊
The wire brush nub was the best.

And I thought buying a dozer would be expensive but no, maintaining 😂 One dirty job, well done!
You and me both!

Did not die 👍💪
9:25 “this is going to be messy guys “ 🤣🤣🤣🤣. 👍🏴
Lol
"Piss off wind!" Best part of the video, by far!
Wind messt up my pants with oil
@@Ants_Pants I know exactly how you felt from personal experience. "Piece of crap" is another good one.
This is a dirty filthy job, but someone has to do it, as viewers we al took a vote and you won hands down, congrats.
I like dirty jobs 😂
Thanks
Love watching thanks
Thank you
@9:05 I laughed as the backup oil catch tray floated away!
I'm sorry I laughed but good for you, you had the thick mil plastic spread out to catch the mess.
😂😂
Always love your videos, thanks for sharing with us!! 👍😎🫡
So nice of you
There is something oddly satisfying about watching fluid and filter changes on large machinery and this was the messiest I have seen, but great to watch. Cheers Ants Pants
Messy indeed
We appreciate the video angles from inside the brake area, and the final drive oil changes. Keep up the great work
Thanks 👍
zen and the art of bulldozer maintenance :D
Lol8
I watch all your videos with interest and am waiting on the next one. Thanks for including the kids at the end, all 3 of them. From Houston, Texas
Glad you like them!

Love the paintjob part!!! Can t wait!!!
What paintjob part? 😅
@@Ants_Pants the part of the clip where you talk about doing it
Like you said, lots of work.
Yup
Dozer getting some serious dental work 😂❤
Haha
Excellent video and editing! Love seeing every detail and your spin on it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Pushing the munchkins off into the abyss is always entertaining. I wish you all good health and prosperity. :)
Haha 😂 thanks 😇
looking forward to the ants paint job 😄

whew.. can you imagine.. I have been holding back on watching episode 1 of this still! Gonna have 2,5 hours of fun sometime during this weekend! :D
Hope it was worth it mate 👍

Wow...that is a LOT of work maintaining that dozer!
Love the zip-line...you're a great dad :)

That thing sure was a mess ants!! I think u made the rite call on the steering clutches
Yup

Really impressed with the lighting in your shop! Congratulations on getting the lubes done for cat.
Thank you!
I told Home Pro’s That I found his channel through you. He said “My old friend Ants Pants, tell him hi” so, Hi from Home Pro’s.
Hi 😅
maybe some seal swell in the oil might help with the oil leaks, worth a try
Hmm 🤔
Bottom rollers would use same grease and tube procedure to grease them
you are a funny guy..... love every minute... beautiful language... thank you!
Thank you! 😃
you could grind some slots into the steering drums so they grip while oiled.
Hmm yup
Love that you put us (camera) under drain hole to see you clearing mud blockage....your videography is so good.

like watching grass growing
The best time ever…… family time…..the most important time 😘🥰👍
Always!
Just sat done and watch this, what you can do with the rollers that need seals is where the plug is to fill with oil drill & tap the plug for a grease nipple
Yeah then its less of a mess to keep is greased
I’m happy to see the bottom rollers we’re good and had oil in them, the top rollers got bad probably due to the tracks being to tight and pulling on the bearings more than the others and the front idler roller gets the most tension that’s why it went bad, you prob could replace the bearings and seals fairly easy, but I think the track tension is to high

Well, mr.pants, with all you've done makes you wonder how it worked at all, stay safe buddy.
Thanks bud
Great video I love old equipment more than the new equipment because it’s the 4 father to the modern just imagine how much effort it took in the year it was made and what the cost was to make it and to think of the price it’s going to be in the future too

Sorry for laughing about the drain pan spill. Been there done that!

If you drive it up on wood blocks it be easier to get bucket under drains.
Hopefully you good for long time on finials.
I hated doing the D8 we had. Drain plug was way up above skid plate. You always got a bath in oil.
Oh man the d8 is bigger then this much bigger
This is a little late but here goes when we brain these types of units we drill with magnetic bit in the center of the plug bottom using a bit that correlate to the of of a hose or tuning we have selected when finished drilling a quick change from drill to tube or hose is all the risk of spill age we have to deal with. As far as the hole in plug goes we can weld up the hole or replace the plug ,make sure to use anti seize sparingly.done in the field this can attract the wrong type of attention with the wrong people . some people turn a quart of oil in to the exon Valdes !I enjoy your channel very much.

To bring your trolley back after sliding down mount a car windshield wiper motor with a capstan drum on the railing. Now wrap the line once or twice around the drum & apply tension, the trolley returns with a minimum of effort.

" Kangelastlik" töö. Laik!
Like accepted!
50:54 there's an audio issue at this part. It's pretty lower than the rest of the video
It's possible. The camera was constantly covered in oil. Maybe the mic was oiled up also
Keep up the good work , 👍
Thanks, will do!
I so enjoy you channel....you have an excellent command of english....your use of english swear words does not become your intelligence and obvious professional schooling and demeanor!
