FREE International wheel Loader, Sitting 8 YEARS! (Will it Run??)

I would love to see that gantry crane being installed into the workshop

You, western truck and tractor, and mustie1are the best, no bs, and you actually tear stuff apart, and fix it, without bleeping through everything you are doing, which i appreciate. Thanks for all the hard work, and G-d bless you, the wife, and the furry critters.

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!

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 !

My days of staying up 24 hours at a clip are long over, and it just shows you the resilience of the young. I used to work all day, load up the family, and drive 12 hours to my parent's house.

There is nothing worse than being handed a box full of bits and bobs and being told “fix that” 🤣

The tires on that loader are a gift all by themselves. Another great video!

Your ability to remain calm under frustration is admirable. It is not one of my strengths.!

Yay an hour of Diesel Creek! I was wondering what that machine was in the background of another video.

Cool looking machine! The adventure always begins when the "anti-tampering" wire is cut on the injection pump!

Amazing these channels find free machinery everywhere. I’ve looked in my area for anything, ANYTHING, I can’t find nothing

That's the one thing I like about you. You point out and admit you mistakes

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.

HEY! Good morning everybody! A full hour of Diesel Creek on the 4th of July! HELL YEAH BABY!! 🎆🎆🎊🎉🎈 Happy 4th of July! ENJOY!!

Matt! New Zealand is at a standstill awaiting your latest offering! Sunday morning coffee just isn’t the same. Please hurry.

Can’t believe I’ll watch the hour long video like it’s a movie. D.C is one of my favorite channels on YouTube, 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.

Matt your channel is honestly more worth subscribing to than any other channel I know of.

This machine can be seen on google maps, sitting there.... Awesome vid, thank you!

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!

Just came back from the Area Diesel Service pump repair. Don't feel bad Matt, looking at the carnage on that video (35:20) he did everything but weld a bolt onto the broken screw or drill it out. Without the exact tool and experience I think anyone would have ended up in the same situation. Also interesting to note that they said you were on exactly the right track - if you'd got the cam apart you would have found the frozen plungers inside and got them sorted no doubt. What was amazing to me, not being a mechanic, was the ability to look over the mixed bag of what looked like junk, identify exactly every bolt, spring, washer, name it, and know what it was for and whether it's condition was okay. It was really eye opening to see an expert at work, patiently explaining all the parts of the pump, how it works and how to troubleshoot it. Amazing stuff. We expect this stuff to 'just work' not realising the complexities of everything under the hood. So hat's off again to you as a non-expert mechanic being able to bring these old ladies back to life. I think with everything else going on with the loader it's probably not going to be a keeper, but it was a pleasure watching your adventure and congratulations to you on yet another success.
