The 282/236 engines were almost impossible to start without ether/ full glow plugs. The main problem was the rosomaster pump even in new condition needed at least 75 rpm engine speed to pop the injectors. they had very low static compression . The injectors at very low tech but with a little gentle lapping can work well. good luck with the old timer. just a little heads up the injectors are a bastard to get out and the the precups are even harder. Be prepared to build a serious puller.
Yup no glow plugs no start on those engines they were not a power house but once they start they are or were a dependable engine easy to work on. The last time I worked on one about 10 years ago I need injector parts and had a hard time finding them But haven’t seen those engines in quite a while
The 282 used in the early ihc 706 tractors were replaced with the German built 310. Much better engine. We had a 706 with the 282. Remember it blowing a head gasket and the head requiring extensive work. And yes, strong batteries and starter as well as working glow plugs are needed for good starting.
@@allanvaneste9106 tough old engines D236,D282,DT282 and D301 all ran same design great engines if you maintained them and watch your temperature several IH tractors,loaders,backhoes,bulldozers even IH pickups in 1960's ran these engines gotta have good glow plugs and batteries
The start of this adventure was an excellent example of what we in the aviation world call "Get-there-itis." It is the number one killer of pilots and destroyer of planes. If you are feeling the time crunch, it isn't a good time to be working on heavy equipment or doing anything else that poses a risk to life and limb (and truck). If you have to travel 8 hours to go get a piece of equipment, just by default plan to book a nice hotel room. It's a heckuva lot cheaper than repairs or hospital bills, and makes the whole trip more enjoyable too. We don't want to see you get hurt, nor your shiny new truck. Don't cheap out on the hotel room either, the whole point is to make the trip NICER, not worse, and a bad hotel can absolutely do the latter. Take care of yourself!
@@cpyart What you mean sleeping in the back of it with the seats up as a last resort? Hell I could barely fit sideways in there laying down and I’m only 5’11”, not even 6’2” like Matt is.

Hi Matt, I’m here in Northeastern pa and we have an old Allis chalmers hd6 track loader that we use to use in our quarry. It ran when it was parked to my knowledge and it’s been sitting for at least 17years but it’s all covered up with a industrial tarp. If you’re interested in it we will surely be happy to give it to you if you want it.
As we say in sales, Matt, if you can’t fix something, feature it. With a few mosquitoes still around here in Ontario not too far from you, that exhaust would clear them for quite a distance around. A bug eviction loader. 😊 thanks for the video.
You have a fine gift…..why your channel caught my eye is #1 I love motors, and #2 Iwas glued to my fathers side when he repaired anything…..started with my fascination for gears when Iwas 5….long story…I’m 80 and female
I'll say this, it was REALLY nice of your subscriber to offer that to you. It turns out, no matter what 'they' say, this world is FULL of great people, no matter where in it you are. So nice to see you get that beautiful piece of machinery working again (hopefully I'm at the part you showed your broken bumper!!) Thanks Matt for taking us along with you!
Magic Matt strikes again! Matt, you have provided this old home bound dude who doesn’t know beans about mechanics with more hours of wonderful entertainment than all my Roku channels combined! Thank you Magic Matt from the bottom of my heart!
Can’t believe I’ll watch the hour long video like it’s a movie. D.C is one of my favorite channels on UA-cam, and very entertaining. Great work. Matt, I’d recommend having an ultrasonic chamber, tub, for cleaning anything without the full teardown. Build your own unit.
I'm a 63 years old disabled veteran and would love to own that machine. Love watching your videos. Keep them coming.Thanks. I'm not far from you I'm in New Castle Lawrence Co., Pa.
I did not want it for free. I was just saying that I love that type machine. I'm way to old to operate anything like that. I'm 100% disabled. But thanks for the reply it made me laugh. Have a nice day and I will still watch the videos, what else do I have to do. LOL LOL @@dandavis1023
Neat "little" machine... like Fat Alice had a "cub"! Matt, you have to realize that when you say you have a lot of projects in the works, it is music to our ears! The more stuff you need to fix, the more projects you have on Diesel Creek, the more we like it! Just hoping we can be patient... Thanks for posting... looking forward to the next video!
I like this loader, it totally looks like a full-size Tonka. I think it's worth fixing when there's some time. Get the injectors rebuilt, put in a new head gasket and flush the oil out of the coolant passages, figure out the brakes, and it could do some work even before touching the wiring.
Oh the power of youth, its been almost forty years since I last saw the sunrise twice without sleeping in between them. It seems like I'm not the only one who enjoys your content of your videos Matt. Don't stop doing these sort of "will it start" videos marra.
I swear those D-282's are the most cold blooded diesel I have ever dealt with! Place I rented years ago had a 1959 IH 660 Diesel for plowing snow... I moved in mid winter and my plow truck wasnt accessable. Never less than a can of ether after having it tarped with the tiger torch under it for a half hour... So much fun at -20! 😂
If it's as hard to start as that he'd be better putting in something else. The German built IH D358 engine I had in my old tractor was very easy to start in all weathers - but our winters here in N Ireland are nothing like yours
I really like the look of the operator perched atop a machine like that even higher than the exhaust. I know there are safety concerns, but the look makes me smile. There's also something about rear steer that gives me a smile. I hear Matt isn't into this a whole lot, but I hope to see more.
Safety concerns? Oh you mean the "Plein-air" Cabin? After spending a good portion of my working life in various loaders I had visions of the operator of this covered underneath a yard or so of gravel that spilled over the top of the bucket when it was fully extended. Ouch!
Always jump right on when I see a DieselCreek upload! Can not believe I’ve been a subscriber since before you hit 15K! You deserve to have millions man, you are still your humble self. That’s why your videos are so great. It’s like watching someone with no subscribers just sharing what they love to do!
AUTOCAR !! Thanks, Matt. This video had me watching all the way through. Good stuff. I have not idea what you are doing but I really enjoy being right in there with you. For me, I am able to connect (somehow) with how you go step by step fixing machines. Very cool. There is no other way for me to have accessibility to up front and close, from chaos to contact, other than you. Love what you do and how you do it.
I had skipped this video because I thought I had already watched it. I hadn’t, so I’m glad I did. Another fine learning experience for me. I appreciate your determination, some wouldn’t even try, just label it junk and move on.
Of all the equipment you've shown on the channel this has to be the coolest, and most deserving of a complete restore. love watching the channel but would like to see more follow up and finish what you have especially the D8
Matt does an amazing job with all his videos, every time I get the notification that he’s posted I’m always excited to watch whatever he posts. I think the best part is his fans that have such a vast knowledge and that Matt acknowledges them! That’s just awesome!!
I've mentioned it before, but if you watch his videos carefully Matt's doing a LOT of work: careful framing, good choreography, intuitive camera angles that makes sense to a layperson with no idea what they looking at, then the hours and hours of work splicing together multiple camera shots and muxing at least two mics, plus soundtrack. It's pretty much a masterpiece of videography and a great example of how to do it. Matt takes the basic premise, and makes it fun, accessible and entertaining for everyone. And he does this after all the hours of (actual) work as a contractor and what we see in the shop or under a tree. His work ethic is amazing.
Hi Matt I think when you go on the long journeys, you should take a small generator and a light standard in case you’re working at night. You did a fine job with this thing.
I was thinking he needs to make up his own custom "jump pack" with a couple large truck batteries and a large starter solenoid, with welding cable leads and lugs to bolt onto the starter. No sparks or destruction that way...and more power.
Our old shop at work, had a piece of flexible 8" pipe hooked to the fan. It was on a pivot arm that swinged between two bays and just slipped over the exhaust stack. Worked great. You are an inspiration and I watch pretty much all your videos. 🤘😎 43:18
Love your new shop, it makes your efforts so much better when you are not suffering every minute fighting the elements. Wes is amazing a way smarter on so many subjects than any mechanic I have seen. Gret that you two are friends. Thanks for saving more old iron from ending up as beer cans.
I loved the IH styling from that era. The boxy square bodywork with the rake angle shows up in both the farm and industrial line. Tonka style. Happy Independence Day everyone.
Hey Matt, excellent video, love to see old machines come back to life. I want to offer, and would like to hear thoughts from others regarding the oil in the coolant. But you may have inadvertently blown the head gasket and some other seals/gaskets by revving/running it hard once you got it running. We did that once with an old Massey Harris tractor that had run just fine but wound up sitting for years after we got some additional tractors. We decided to return it to work pulling hay wagons one spring and pretty much did the same thing once we got it running and quickly blew the head gasket revving it hard trying to clear it out. Like making an old man get out of bed and run a sprint, something's likely to give out pretty fast - just a thought. You have interesting projects, please keep them coming.
I love learning casual knowledge about diesels. I've never owned anything diesel or worked on anything like that, but after watching your videos for a few years I feel like if I had to, I could stumble through it.
They are very basic machines that don't take much to run. Especially the old ones. The modern machines with their emissions nonsense are a bit more difficult.
5:51 why not build a small camper thingy for your pickup bed? Just a bed with some minimal amenities like a sink, a mini fridge and a cooking stove with a popup roof, so it folds down to the cab height, while giving you still the bed sidewall height for tools. So you don't have the pressure to hurtle down the highway for 8 hours on the same day, but can comfortably stay overnight anywhere you want. :)
GREAT teaching session, instructors to use in classroom instruction using YOUR presentation! Cudos to ALL! Greg; disable senior, educator, Mil Vet! GREAT presentation hailing (originally) Pittsburgh, PA (Castle Shannon)! Seeking YOUR thoughts and wisdom pertaining to vehicle repair- attention and much more!!! Compliments to one and ALL, U-Ah!

I watch your vids faithfully Matt...always entertaining and brings back memories of my Grandfathers excavating and grading business when I was a kid! Bulldozers, rollers, graders and front-end loaders are what I remember. Thanks for keeping memories alive!😊
I like this loader! It reminds me of a tonka toy too. I think the guys that give you grief for how you get your machines running should just hold their opinions to themselves. its your stuff and you decide how to get it running. Key up the good work Matt.
Hey Matt, Gotta tell you that I love the opening video clip of your channel these days where you see a very impressive drone site of your new workshop building !! Lookin' good !!
Matt, you have a knack for finding "unique" pieces (heavy equipment). Or, maybe the equipment finds you! Anyway, it is always interesting to see the newest project and to watch you diagnose and fix the problems you find. With that said, I am looking forward to seeing you work on the Autocar trucks, especially the older one. I'd love to see that truck refurbished and ultimately on the road again. Thanks again for all your hard work to show us what you're up to from episode to episode. Blessings to you and the family!
She's burning oil due to the blue smoke and she's not burning the diesel completely on one or more cylinders due to white smoke which is unburnt diesel on a cylinder which has compression. Probably more of a spares vehicle than worthy of restoration. Always a handy tool as she is. Another great video and i'm going to hit the subscribe button because i love your style, attitude and ways of approaching issues. It's like watching myself a few years ago. 👍
Especially when you compare them to modern equivalents and find out that sometimes, just because it's newer doesn't always mean it's better. Remember: "The more you complicate the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain." 😉
The plant I worked at back in the 1980's had 3 old IH Payloaders with that D282 engine, they finally got tired of messing with it and rebuilt one of them with a 3-53.
Matt, your content rocks, it’s more entertaining and teaching than many other “professional” cable TV DIY shows. And yes, I watch your content start to finish…. Concerning your ever so growing list of projects… see it this way, we won’t run out of content ever 😀. Keep rocking!
As much as I love this old machine and am glad you saved it there are other past projects Is like to see more. Those old autocars are the real reason I'm here. It'd be real nice to see them getting some love.
You and Andrew are living the dream! We all want some land we can work on without worrying about neighbors! May you never have difficult neighbors and no restrictions!🎉🎉🎉🎉 God bless your efforts!
The first real piece of equipment I ever ran was an international 3800 backhoe. Essentially the exact same machine, only with the engine in in front of the operator station. Hearing this one run brought back a lot of memories. That D282 kinda sucks. They were super economical on fuel, but weak heads/gasket setup. Pull the head, check sleeve protrusion heights, check head for flatness, and use CAT head bolts when reassembling. 7 each of 9S1374 and 1D4574 if I recall correctly. Those bolts will allow you to over torque the head just a bit and stand a better chance of keeping sealed up. Im currently dealing with the exact same thing on a TD9-92. Good luck with it. They're getting pretty scarce.
Been wrenching for many years, laughed out loud with the adjustable wrench on the allen wrench… That was awesome.. hopefully have the forethought to do that next time I need some more torque! Happy 4th!!
A secret i learn here in the third world it's to make a torch with a stick a rag and some diesel, to put it in the airfilter housing, that way anything should start right up with out glowplugs
my dad worked for cat for years and I heard him tell someone that there are two types of men that go into injection pumps, one is a pump man, the other is a, well you know. keep up the good work!
I wish I lived closer, retired. Would offer free help to him to be safer, and learn. I am SO impressed with his troubleshooting skills. And I think we all get excited when it starts.
Running the glow plugs would help a bit. Coolant in the combustion I suspect injectors also. But considering the water/oil and head weep a compression test is in order.
Your current opening drone shot is great and the new workshop looks just perfect, at the end of it! Nicely done! Your drive-over camera openings are amazing, too!
Love the new shop !!! Does he actually do any work for hire or does he make his income from buying, fixing, selling, etc ???? Seems to be doing quite well, hope it continues.
This was pretty cool. Seeing you taking it off, taking it apart, and then seeing ADS dealing with it, and then you unboxing it again. That beast coming alive! That's just awesome.
Our family has had a cottage near Indian River for decades. Pretty cool. I live in SE Michigan, you probably passes right by me on your way up there. Wish I would have seen you to pass on a friendly honk and a wave.
Matt I just watched video of rebuilding fuel pump on free wheel loader ! It's amazing to me that you were All In to Fix It Yourself !!?? That video almost had my head spinning ? That was $ well spent to send it off !! I'm sure most of us had no clue it was that complicated !! At least I'll admit it ! I commend you for sending that in !! And as always? you Kicked it's A--
Great video as usual. It would be good to see a video on pin and bushing replacement for the lift arms of that loader. Just curious to see how you'd approach that sort of task in comparison to others. Keep up the good work anyways in terms of saving machinery from the scrapyard !
I was super jealous in the first five minutes of this video, and at the end you couldn't pay me to take it home, your right, free for a reason, I'll pray for you
I'd be inclined to throw in a head gasket and see if you can fix the oil in the coolant. Then I'd give her an Italian tune-up, putting it to work for your next top soil/gravel/fill/etc project and see if a good workout is enough to free up the injectors. At that point, although still likely having excessive blow-by/burning oil, you should have a functional loader. If you don't need it, rather than letting it rust outside, sell it to someone who needs a loader once in a while and is willing to live with the worn out engine...
Wow the music in your videos is fantastic. Lots to think about in the repair of this wheel loader and if it goes forward or not. Generous donation too.
Well I thoroughly enjoyed that . I understand that you have more pending projects to be getting on with so we this wee digger can wait . I sense that you’re not feeling the love at the moment so you’re right to put it on the ‘ to do at a later date ‘ list . I’m already looking forward to the next video . ❤
Hadn't seen him for quite awhile. The last I recall him being in a video, he was bouncing a big rubber beach ball around the property, like a dog who'd lost it's mind!
That was an awesome video. Yeah maybe it has some issues, but the price was right. I'm confident that you will get it back in shape in time. Thanks for sharing. See you soon.

If you like that method you are going to like @Mustie1, he uses the same method with small engines.
Refreshing to see you work on something big , I just changed the serpentine belt on a Honda Jazz/ Fit and after a fractured bolt on the alternator the parts dept giving me the wrong belt and an engine that somehow was put in to a compactor and no room for a spanner or a socket some swearing and skinned knuckles I finally was torquing the bolt it sheared 15 min of language my cuz said to me we can get a small pliers and wind it out from the back what was supposed to be a Saturday morning job turned into a two day marathon, the hardest part was get bolts of without fracturing thought I got away with it till the very last one glad I am not the only one!
Hi Matt, I’m here in Northeastern pa and we have an old Allis chalmers hd6 track loader that we use to use in our quarry. It ran when it was parked to my knowledge and it’s been sitting for at least 17years but it’s all covered up with a industrial tarp. If you’re interested in it we will surely be happy to give it to you if you want it.
Holy cow, what another great offer.
Ooooo that’s Interesting! And generous! Shoot me an email. dieselcreek@gmail.com
@@DieselCreekLoL 🤣😆
That's all I got to say about that!! 😂
Go and get it!
@@dans_Learning_Curve It was an awesome and fun machine, but it’s sad we have no use for it anymore.
As we say in sales, Matt, if you can’t fix something, feature it. With a few mosquitoes still around here in Ontario not too far from you, that exhaust would clear them for quite a distance around. A bug eviction loader. 😊 thanks for the video.
You have a fine gift…..why your channel caught my eye is #1 I love motors, and #2 Iwas glued to my fathers side when he repaired anything…..started with my fascination for gears when Iwas 5….long story…I’m 80 and female
I'll say this, it was REALLY nice of your subscriber to offer that to you. It turns out, no matter what 'they' say, this world is FULL of great people, no matter where in it you are. So nice to see you get that beautiful piece of machinery working again (hopefully I'm at the part you showed your broken bumper!!) Thanks Matt for taking us along with you!
Magic Matt strikes again! Matt, you have provided this old home bound dude who doesn’t know beans about mechanics with more hours of wonderful entertainment than all my Roku channels combined! Thank you Magic Matt from the bottom of my heart!
He’s the best video entertainment available. Everything - and I mean everything- pales in comparison.
Alachua Florida ? Greetings from Ocala 👍
@@joeismissing Back at ya with best wishes!
Can’t believe I’ll watch the hour long video like it’s a movie. D.C is one of my favorite channels on UA-cam, and very entertaining. Great work.
Matt, I’d recommend having an ultrasonic chamber, tub, for cleaning anything without the full teardown. Build your own unit.
Yay an hour of Diesel Creek!
I was wondering what that machine was in the background of another video.
1. Nice catch on the unload.
2. Intuition and logic on the
teardown.
3. Experience on everything else.
I'm a 63 years old disabled veteran and would love to own that machine. Love watching your videos. Keep them coming.Thanks. I'm not far from you I'm in New Castle Lawrence Co., Pa.
I doubt Matt would let it go for free as the previous owner did. I believe Matt is in the flipping business to make huge profits. Just my opinion.
I did not want it for free. I was just saying that I love that type machine. I'm way to old to operate anything like that. I'm 100% disabled. But thanks for the reply it made me laugh. Have a nice day and I will still watch the videos, what else do I have to do. LOL LOL
@@dandavis1023
Neat "little" machine... like Fat Alice had a "cub"! Matt, you have to realize that when you say you have a lot of projects in the works, it is music to our ears! The more stuff you need to fix, the more projects you have on Diesel Creek, the more we like it! Just hoping we can be patient... Thanks for posting... looking forward to the next video!
I like this loader, it totally looks like a full-size Tonka. I think it's worth fixing when there's some time. Get the injectors rebuilt, put in a new head gasket and flush the oil out of the coolant passages, figure out the brakes, and it could do some work even before touching the wiring.
the fact that this loader has so many issues needing attention is what makes it interesting. would love to see more videos on this machine !
Oh the power of youth, its been almost forty years since I last saw the sunrise twice without sleeping in between them. It seems like I'm not the only one who enjoys your content of your videos Matt. Don't stop doing these sort of "will it start" videos marra.
I swear those D-282's are the most cold blooded diesel I have ever dealt with! Place I rented years ago had a 1959 IH 660 Diesel for plowing snow... I moved in mid winter and my plow truck wasnt accessable. Never less than a can of ether after having it tarped with the tiger torch under it for a half hour... So much fun at -20! 😂
Yep, our 706 needed glow plugs even on a hot day
If it's as hard to start as that he'd be better putting in something else. The German built IH D358 engine I had in my old tractor was very easy to start in all weathers - but our winters here in N Ireland are nothing like yours
I really like the look of the operator perched atop a machine like that even higher than the exhaust. I know there are safety concerns, but the look makes me smile. There's also something about rear steer that gives me a smile. I hear Matt isn't into this a whole lot, but I hope to see more.
Safety concerns? Oh you mean the "Plein-air" Cabin? After spending a good portion of my working life in various loaders I had visions of the operator of this covered underneath a yard or so of gravel that spilled over the top of the bucket when it was fully extended. Ouch!
Always jump right on when I see a DieselCreek upload! Can not believe I’ve been a subscriber since before you hit 15K! You deserve to have millions man, you are still your humble self. That’s why your videos are so great. It’s like watching someone with no subscribers just sharing what they love to do!
AUTOCAR !! Thanks, Matt. This video had me watching all the way through. Good stuff. I have not idea what you are doing but I really enjoy being right in there with you. For me, I am able to connect (somehow) with how you go step by step fixing machines. Very cool. There is no other way for me to have accessibility to up front and close, from chaos to contact, other than you. Love what you do and how you do it.
Yes Matt for your long time followers you need to feed us a little red meat. Wilson needed a shout out.
People like you are what makes America great.
Gotta hand it to you, Matt !! Persistence pays off !! That's one of the things that I admire about you !!
Im so glad there are people like you saving all the old metal!
I had skipped this video because I thought I had already watched it. I hadn’t, so I’m glad I did. Another fine learning experience for me. I appreciate your determination, some wouldn’t even try, just label it junk and move on.
HEY! Good morning everybody! A full hour of Diesel Creek on the 4th of July! HELL YEAH BABY!! 🎆🎆🎊🎉🎈 Happy 4th of July! ENJOY!!
Of all the equipment you've shown on the channel this has to be the coolest, and most deserving of a complete restore. love watching the channel but would like to see more follow up and finish what you have especially the D8
Love watching your projects. Keeps getting better and better. Using the adjustable wrench as a lever, pure genius!.
Matt does an amazing job with all his videos, every time I get the notification that he’s posted I’m always excited to watch whatever he posts. I think the best part is his fans that have such a vast knowledge and that Matt acknowledges them! That’s just awesome!!
I've mentioned it before, but if you watch his videos carefully Matt's doing a LOT of work: careful framing, good choreography, intuitive camera angles that makes sense to a layperson with no idea what they looking at, then the hours and hours of work splicing together multiple camera shots and muxing at least two mics, plus soundtrack.
It's pretty much a masterpiece of videography and a great example of how to do it. Matt takes the basic premise, and makes it fun, accessible and entertaining for everyone.
And he does this after all the hours of (actual) work as a contractor and what we see in the shop or under a tree. His work ethic is amazing.
Hi Matt I think when you go on the long journeys, you should take a small generator and a light standard in case you’re working at night. You did a fine job with this thing.
Staying overnight in a motel is cheaper than an accident caused by lack of sleep.
@@ron827 He is young invincible! That is so they got some of kids to go to Vietnam and Iraq and Afghanistan! Other places. Invincible
I was thinking he needs to make up his own custom "jump pack" with a couple large truck batteries and a large starter solenoid, with welding cable leads and lugs to bolt onto the starter. No sparks or destruction that way...and more power.
@@paulprigge1209 we thought we were bullet proof. A lot of us are now paying the price.
@@jimbrewer2893 yes we are !!
64 here.
And a REAL slow learner.
Our old shop at work, had a piece of flexible 8" pipe hooked to the fan. It was on a pivot arm that swinged between two bays and just slipped over the exhaust stack. Worked great. You are an inspiration and I watch pretty much all your videos.
🤘😎 43:18
This machine can be seen on google maps, sitting there.... Awesome vid, thank you!
Cool looking machine! The adventure always begins when the "anti-tampering" wire is cut on the injection pump!
I like it! Cool "wings" with fore and aft lights built in.
I spend my days off watching others work and you sir are my hands down favourite. Cheers
I'd REALLY want to be sure that thing was in neutral before trying to start it with my legs under the tire. Brave man!
I did.
Matt's been doing this for a few years !! However, SAFETY FIRST !!
I don’t care how long you’ve been doing it it can happen. Not good when it does
Matt is so safety minded he goes to OSHA offices and fines *them*
@@DieselCreek The results of that cranking disagree 🤣
Love your new shop, it makes your efforts so much better when you are not suffering every minute fighting the elements. Wes is amazing a way smarter on so many subjects than any mechanic I have seen. Gret that you two are friends. Thanks for saving more old iron from ending up as beer cans.
Errrr, which beer is sold in steel-cans ? Every beer I drink came in AluminiUm cans....
Shoutout to Penna - a star is born! Doggone it, your videos are the best. I learn so much. Keep on sharing!
Great 4th of July treat 👍 always amazed at how resourceful you are, it’s inspiring.
I loved the IH styling from that era. The boxy square bodywork with the rake angle shows up in both the farm and industrial line. Tonka style. Happy Independence Day everyone.
Hey Matt, excellent video, love to see old machines come back to life. I want to offer, and would like to hear thoughts from others regarding the oil in the coolant. But you may have inadvertently blown the head gasket and some other seals/gaskets by revving/running it hard once you got it running. We did that once with an old Massey Harris tractor that had run just fine but wound up sitting for years after we got some additional tractors. We decided to return it to work pulling hay wagons one spring and pretty much did the same thing once we got it running and quickly blew the head gasket revving it hard trying to clear it out. Like making an old man get out of bed and run a sprint, something's likely to give out pretty fast - just a thought. You have interesting projects, please keep them coming.
I love learning casual knowledge about diesels. I've never owned anything diesel or worked on anything like that, but after watching your videos for a few years I feel like if I had to, I could stumble through it.
Same! I see old abandoned equipment and I think about doing my own revival video! 😂
They are very basic machines that don't take much to run. Especially the old ones. The modern machines with their emissions nonsense are a bit more difficult.
5:51 why not build a small camper thingy for your pickup bed? Just a bed with some minimal amenities like a sink, a mini fridge and a cooking stove with a popup roof, so it folds down to the cab height, while giving you still the bed sidewall height for tools. So you don't have the pressure to hurtle down the highway for 8 hours on the same day, but can comfortably stay overnight anywhere you want. :)
That’s what the back seat is for lol not like I live on the road. Just snooze for a couple hours if necessary
GREAT teaching session, instructors to use in classroom instruction using YOUR presentation! Cudos to ALL! Greg; disable senior, educator, Mil Vet! GREAT presentation hailing (originally) Pittsburgh, PA (Castle Shannon)! Seeking YOUR thoughts and wisdom pertaining to vehicle repair- attention and much more!!! Compliments to one and ALL, U-Ah! Be safe, Greg!!
Matt, you're closer to 1 million subscribers than you are to none. That's awesome, bud! 🤘😎🤘
I watch your vids faithfully Matt...always entertaining and brings back memories of my Grandfathers excavating and grading business when I was a kid! Bulldozers, rollers, graders and front-end loaders are what I remember. Thanks for keeping memories alive!😊
Matt! New Zealand is at a standstill awaiting your latest offering! Sunday morning coffee just isn’t the same. Please hurry.
I like this loader! It reminds me of a tonka toy too. I think the guys that give you grief for how you get your machines running should just hold their opinions to themselves. its your stuff and you decide how to get it running. Key up the good work Matt.
Hey Matt,
Gotta tell you that I love the opening video clip of your channel these days where you see a very impressive drone site of your new workshop building !! Lookin' good !!
35:55 I've never been more happy to see fuel weep out. I was almost weeping.
For how the loader looks the engine sounds relatively good!! Excellent work Matt!! Thanks for sharing
Matt, you have a knack for finding "unique" pieces (heavy equipment). Or, maybe the equipment finds you! Anyway, it is always interesting to see the newest project and to watch you diagnose and fix the problems you find. With that said, I am looking forward to seeing you work on the Autocar trucks, especially the older one. I'd love to see that truck refurbished and ultimately on the road again. Thanks again for all your hard work to show us what you're up to from episode to episode. Blessings to you and the family!
She's burning oil due to the blue smoke and she's not burning the diesel completely on one or more cylinders due to white smoke which is unburnt diesel on a cylinder which has compression. Probably more of a spares vehicle than worthy of restoration. Always a handy tool as she is. Another great video and i'm going to hit the subscribe button because i love your style, attitude and ways of approaching issues. It's like watching myself a few years ago. 👍
It’s always a good morning when I wake up to a new diesel creek video
I love old iron. Its realy cool to see what people made and used way back.
Especially when you compare them to modern equivalents and find out that sometimes, just because it's newer doesn't always mean it's better.
Remember: "The more you complicate the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain." 😉
The plant I worked at back in the 1980's had 3 old IH Payloaders with that D282 engine, they finally got tired of messing with it and rebuilt one of them with a 3-53.
How about a Cummins swap?
Matt, your content rocks, it’s more entertaining and teaching than many other “professional” cable TV DIY shows. And yes, I watch your content start to finish…. Concerning your ever so growing list of projects… see it this way, we won’t run out of content ever 😀. Keep rocking!
As much as I love this old machine and am glad you saved it there are other past projects Is like to see more. Those old autocars are the real reason I'm here. It'd be real nice to see them getting some love.
Matt I have same machine 3850 the gas version.Keep these videos coming Great job.
Another resurrection for Matt! Always amazes me, what you can do. Thanks for inspiring us. 😃
More like another piece of junk to be pushed into the weeds, never to be seen again.
You and Andrew are living the dream! We all want some land we can work on without worrying about neighbors! May you never have difficult neighbors and no restrictions!🎉🎉🎉🎉 God bless your efforts!
After the run down the track it was running pretty clear after blowing all the crud out ,good job
Hey Matt! I noticed your baking pan for parts! muffin pans also work awesome because you can number it and have an order of disassembly kinda deal
Great idea !
With the muffin pan, stick a little super magnet on the bottom of each one to keep everything from rolling all around whenever it moves.
The first real piece of equipment I ever ran was an international 3800 backhoe. Essentially the exact same machine, only with the engine in in front of the operator station. Hearing this one run brought back a lot of memories. That D282 kinda sucks. They were super economical on fuel, but weak heads/gasket setup. Pull the head, check sleeve protrusion heights, check head for flatness, and use CAT head bolts when reassembling. 7 each of 9S1374 and 1D4574 if I recall correctly. Those bolts will allow you to over torque the head just a bit and stand a better chance of keeping sealed up. Im currently dealing with the exact same thing on a TD9-92. Good luck with it. They're getting pretty scarce.
Been wrenching for many years, laughed out loud with the adjustable wrench on the allen wrench… That was awesome.. hopefully have the forethought to do that next time I need some more torque! Happy 4th!!
Another jewel in the rough brought back to life! Your expressions when something fires off and runs are priceless.😁
That trick at 28:48 using the adjustable and allen wrenches is great. Definitely going to use that in the future. Thanks Matt!
I thought the exact same thing when I seen it! Going to store that in the brain tool box 😀
A secret i learn here in the third world it's to make a torch with a stick a rag and some diesel, to put it in the airfilter housing, that way anything should start right up with out glowplugs
Great videos Matt,I’m anxious to see your overhead crane being installed
At least you got new rubber! Thats a bonus, i think i would add about 3 more feet of exhaust, so you're not sucking in exhaust fumes
my dad worked for cat for years and I heard him tell someone that there are two types of men that go into injection pumps, one is a pump man, the other is a, well you know. keep up the good work!
“Me” 😂😂😂
@@DieselCreek hey you said it not me!!
A lot of times if we don't make mistakes we don't learn Another good video Matt KEEP THEM COMING 👍 👌🇺🇸🐘
I wish I lived closer, retired. Would offer free help to him to be safer, and learn. I am SO impressed with his troubleshooting skills. And I think we all get excited when it starts.

Nice save Matt! She needs some love, but you can bring her around. Thanks for sharing!
Running the glow plugs would help a bit. Coolant in the combustion I suspect injectors also. But considering the water/oil and head weep a compression test is in order.
Your current opening drone shot is great and the new workshop looks just perfect, at the end of it! Nicely done! Your drive-over camera openings are amazing, too!
Love the new shop !!!
Does he actually do any work for hire or does he make his income from buying, fixing, selling, etc ????
Seems to be doing quite well, hope it continues.
This was pretty cool. Seeing you taking it off, taking it apart, and then seeing ADS dealing with it, and then you unboxing it again. That beast coming alive! That's just awesome.
A new toy for the shop! Great work fixing this antique!
Our family has had a cottage near Indian River for decades. Pretty cool. I live in SE Michigan, you probably passes right by me on your way up there. Wish I would have seen you to pass on a friendly honk and a wave.
Matt I just watched video of rebuilding fuel pump on free wheel loader ! It's amazing to me that you were All In to Fix It Yourself !!?? That video almost had my head spinning ? That was $ well spent to send it off !! I'm sure most of us had no clue it was that complicated !! At least I'll admit it ! I commend you for sending that in !! And as always? you Kicked it's A--
Great video as usual. It would be good to see a video on pin and bushing replacement for the lift arms of that loader. Just curious to see how you'd approach that sort of task in comparison to others. Keep up the good work anyways in terms of saving machinery from the scrapyard !
Happy 4th July to all Americans 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 From us over the Pond 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Great Video Matt as always.
I was super jealous in the first five minutes of this video, and at the end you couldn't pay me to take it home, your right, free for a reason, I'll pray for you
I'd be inclined to throw in a head gasket and see if you can fix the oil in the coolant.
Then I'd give her an Italian tune-up, putting it to work for your next top soil/gravel/fill/etc project and see if a good workout is enough to free up the injectors.
At that point, although still likely having excessive blow-by/burning oil, you should have a functional loader.
If you don't need it, rather than letting it rust outside, sell it to someone who needs a loader once in a while and is willing to live with the worn out engine...
I would guess $1000.00 for the head service. $250.00 for the gasket?
That’s a good one Matt keep them coming like you said free has issues usually can’t wait to see more projects
Congrats Matt, you've saved another nice machine! It's a pleasure to watch your videos!
Let's go! Just the right timing. On my day off!
Love your attitude and your tenacity Matt 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
10/10
Wow the music in your videos is fantastic. Lots to think about in the repair of this wheel loader and if it goes forward or not. Generous donation too.
Well I thoroughly enjoyed that . I understand that you have more pending projects to be getting on with so we this wee digger can wait .
I sense that you’re not feeling the love at the moment so you’re right to put it on the ‘ to do at a later date ‘ list .
I’m already looking forward to the next video . ❤
Looking forward to seeing this later!!! Can't beat an IH
The best intro music on you tube….and no annoying monotonous background music. Nice!!
Happy to hear that meatball is still doing well!
Hadn't seen him for quite awhile. The last I recall him being in a video, he was bouncing a big rubber beach ball around the property, like a dog who'd lost it's mind!
That was an awesome video. Yeah maybe it has some issues, but the price was right. I'm confident that you will get it back in shape in time. Thanks for sharing. See you soon.
Fingers crossed!
