LAOL
Добавлен 23 сен 2018
If you like tractors, trucks, cars, heavy equipment, mechanical work and more, you are in the right place! Come along on the journey as I navigate the life of a grieving father, after the loss of an only child. Attempting to build the dream my son had to create a RUclips channel. My hope is to see the memories live on as the channel grows in his honor.

Get a gallon of KROIL, I use it on parts that have been in water for 30 years and aircraft, it guarantees penetration in 1 millionth of clearance. Put in a squirt can and put it on the joints.
I really like your channel, I was thinking you might consider making a tool that looks something like a ball joint removal tool. A modified C clamp with a big beefy screw to press out the pins. Can't wait to see the final reveal.
Thank you! We have a few tricks up our sleeve it's just going to take some time. One of them is very much similar to what you described. We're very happy to have you here with us. 😊
Ha there, sorry for the incorrect spelling of Jolene name. Great to here. ☀🌊
No worries. 👍 😊
Socom solution known as like a WD-4 0 any lubrication but water water is not going to help you
First time watching your channel, restoration looks fantastic. Just from watching this upload, It sounds like you and your family are pretty close. I wish i would’ve found a career that would’ve allowed me to work alongside my Dad. Heck, I’d be just as happy if I could still reach out to either one of my grandfathers whenever I had a question. That’s awesome you can still do that, BOL, and I’ll see ya in another video. 🙏🏻🇺🇸
I've been very fortunate to spend so much time with my father and grandfather at work. For what it's worth we're happy to have you here and part of the LAOL family! 😊👍
I think you absolutely hit the jackpot with your wife .
I certainly did, thankful every morning that I wake up! 😊
26 years is impressive. Thank you.
She’s an absolute beauty!! The dozer isn’t bad either 😉
You made her day! ☺️
Thank you Mrs. LAOL for making this all happen! 🤗
She says you are welcome, 😊.
Seat looks awesome
Welcome Mrs Laol
Dude just tighten the tracks and Run it
I think we will. 👍
Hello guys Aaron in Australia they are called T Nuts. Very nice of you to introduce your wife Jolean and give her credit for the work behind the camera. Lefty is looking great, just love his hat (hood), really sets D4 off. Aaron I just love clouds, you can see shapes, faces, animals and what every you get to see, magical. See you on the next episode. Peter from Aus ✌🪛☀🌊
Thank you Peter. Going to get some more T nuts because Jolene is going to help me make seats in the future. We are very happy with how the hood / hat for Lefty turned out. 🤠
Thank you Mrs. LAOL!
She says you're more than welcome! 👍
i wish mrs. laol has a mustache too and finish the bent fender and seat on that big beautiful yellow butterfly
I'm kind of glad she doesn't have that mustache, 🤣. We'll finish it!
Hello Mrs LAOL! Lovely to meet you!
She says hello! 😊
I love Plutonium water but you can’t get here anymore! Mrs LAOL did really good on her first appearance and you’re pretty lucky you didn’t embarrass her to much or you would have gone from the Cat house to the Dog house 😀🇨🇦
Darn those International disarmament treaties ruining everything, 😂. I guess for me the cat house is my dog house, 🤔. 😊
Hey Arron, It's good to finally meet your youtube wife. She's every bit as nice as the one you had with you when we met a month ago. They even look alike, could be twins. Say Hi to Jolene from Dawn and me. We really enjoyed your visit and your youtube channel.
I will definitely tell her you said hello. But I won't tell her about Mrs LAOL, 🤫. 😁
Enjoy your Fussinest 😉😊😎
😂, thanks. 👍
Righty Tighty. Or Lefty. 🤷🏼♂️. I’m hoping the best for you in that it loosens up after a few laps around the shop. Nice to see the Missus involved.
We are hoping that is all it takes too. But we are also gearing up to make a track pin pusher. 😊
Using the backhoe for pressing is sheer genius. Great result.
Thanks Mrs. LAOL, most accurate Sharpie in the West!
A quick draw you can say. See what I did there, 😂.
@@lifeafterourloss Much funny...
Ah yes, the old back hoe stabilizer trick...
Works every time, well almost every time. 😬
Mrs LAOL should be regularly featured on the show! ❤️
Great video thank you miss jolene so glad this channel is here thank you all
In my past I worked at an outfit close to boulder. One of the men about my age had ended up on the shut down crew at Rocky Flats, he had quite the story’s to tell, his name was Robert, I called him Plutonium Bob !
It was always an inside joke growing up. I had a few family members that worked there as well. We always joked that we could spot each other at night because we all glowed, 😂. Thank you Tom! I hope things are going well in the golden State!
@@lifeafterourloss You get the same stories started when you work at a nuclear plant too, it was said that none of my group needed our headlights on when we’d get off work at 4:00 AM. I guess it just goes along with the job!
Wow, you married up! God bless you Two!
I did! Still a lot of good things to be thankful for. 😊 Supporters like you are one of them. 👍
Nice fender save and thanks Mrs LAOL!
She says you're very welcome. 😊
As I recall you said you got a little movement on those track pins after the water bath. If you got any movement at all, I am sure they will free up. When you get it running, why not leave the fenders off, Jack it up and run it in place. Maybe tightening the tracks a little at a time as they free up.
I think we're going to give that a try. We may try to build a press but we may put it on another machine and run it around.
Those spur looking nuts are called T nuts used widely in the upholstery world
Thank you for the clarification! 👍
Looks amazing!
Thank you! 😊
I believe the original D4 seat had wood nails instead of clamps? To hold the leather covering in place? I will say your wife has done amazing job in editing the videos. The track is gonna be a huge bummer none the less. But there is no turning back now.
I've actually been editing all the videos for the last year and a half. But she doesn't excellent job supporting everything! I think we have a plan for that track. 😊
On the tracks. Take pressure washer to track chains. And immediately drive it around. Hook something behind it. Put a load on her. Thatll also help seat those new rings in.
I have a feeling we're going to end up doing just that.
Like M & M' s she really does exist. Nice to meet you Mrs LAOL!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You run that machine around for an hour breaking in the engine those tracks will loosen up guerrentyed
I am not a mechanic. But i have tinkered with cars for over 50 years. I have never completed a "Project" So the following is just a guy "Thinking" about how it MIGHT be. Start punching out the pins, allow yourself 4 weeks to finish. The first 10 nwill be a learning curve. Then you will find your stride during the next 10. You will do the last 50 as good as it gets. Then you will be done. BUT. That is just what it MIGHT be. Love your chanel. 👍
still think you folks should paint the gear numbers..match the other black highlights..
That's a great idea, I think we will! We should paint the start run raised lettering on the decompression system too. 😊 👍
Don’t worry about that radiator Aaron, the heat cycles will change The color slightly anyway brother. Great to see Mrs. LAOL make an appearance!
I enjoy watching you and your dad working together y’all are a good team and y’all are doing a great job on the tractor
I am invested in running the thing and having the tracks loosen up rather than making a tool to punch the pins out (get me! I'm talking like I know what I'm talking about!!) and each episode it's not moving! Well, it moved back & forth a little bit but I wanna see rust dust flying out of the tracks and then they work fine! It would be fun to see you make and use a tool, though.
We want to see it move too! Honestly we were ready to be done with this project. It just threw another curveball at us. I'll be completely honest it's going to be a couple of months before that happens. It's going to take some time to get things figured out. When we get the injectors back we'll give it a try. 👍
@@lifeafterourloss Nooooooooooooo!!! Okay.
Dad and I are very frustrated with the tracks. We will get there, appreciate your patience and support. 😊
@@lifeafterourloss Run it up and down a creek full of water somewhere, they’ll loosen up.
Great episode thank Mrs. L.A.O.L.
She says, you're more than welcome! 😊
👍👍. Nice to see Mrs. LAOL helping out.
I would venture to guess that Mrs. LAOL helps out more than we will ever know. Thank you Mrs. LAOL!!!!
"Pronged captive Tee nuts" what I searched for, when I've done our crawler seats.
Nice to meet the Mrs.. You can tell she’s a bit camera shy! That’s okay! Lefty is coming along nicely. You proved the point I’ve always said about loader/backhoes. There’s NOTHING you can’t do with them… including body work. 😂. Peace brother! 🙂
Is Mrs laol a cat lady 😂
Yes & yes, 😂.
Run theat thing in3rd gear those track won't loosen any other way
I need a cat tool box
Check with antique crawler parts in Laramie, Wyoming. I think he had a few. General gear in Idaho may have some. If you're a member of the Antique Caterpillar Machinery Owners Club, ACMOC, you can ask around on the form. That's where I would start. Unfortunately I don't have any extras at the moment. I'm going to be putting the other one I have on our 5T. Hope this helps. 👍
