I can't blame you, Squatch, for staying away from what lubricants you will be using. I don't know why oil is such an emotional topic for so many people. I never tell anyone what oil I run in my motorcycle for the very same reason. It turns into a senseless circular arguement every time.
As a machinist in the industry fixing lots of machinery mishaps...I can testify to the addage of "any oil is better than none" quote. Seen lots of worn out parts with plugged grease ports & fresh grease on the fitting & the farmer saying..." I always grease it...not sure why it just broke.." ....
I’ve been watching watch repair four months. I don’t think I’ll ever Rosie one, but I still watch them. The other day I came across your site. It’s about the D3. Since then I have binged.
Howdy Squatch253, Thank you for your generous sharing of time and expertise. I know that making videos is a-lot of work, and it is appreciated. We watch your videos as a family and I deeply appreciate your show and tell style. I'm not much of a mechanic, but watching what and how you are working on your projects, you are showing by example that projects can get accomplished. I also extend your teaching with the kids by showing how you break down much larger projects into smaller efforts. You are appreciated. Don't ever let the @#$% get you down. You are a good person for sharing that and one of the few role models we have left.
Happy Easter, and I thank you for keeping politics and other highly arguable topics away from the channel. It's so enjoyable to watch a video and read comments and not worry about the petty arguing that seems to follow those type of topics. Love the progress on the D2!!! Such a fantastic job you're doing on it...
Toby, I was AMAZED to see you apply an uncleaned flat bar keeper to the housing with your flexratchet hammer and an unprecleaned bolt. So you are human after all.... Please know that I completely enjoy your work and your time in rhe shop, I also respect your retisence to get your options on those Trigger topics involved in the channels discussion. I watch for the meticulous attention to detail, and to happily follow along on THE channel. THE channel that other RUclipsrs are referring to in a respectfully envious way.. Happy Easter to you and yours, greetings from the hinterlands of Ohio.
I like your take on lubricants. Your explanation reminded me of my late father. The man HATED Quaker State. Didn't matter the oil/grease. Didn't matter the application. If it had Quaker State written on it anywhere, he wasn't using it....period. I don't know what his hangup was with Quaker State, as I could never get him to tell me. Whatever it was, he was dedicated to it. Thanks for helping bring up that memory!
I saw the first one and thought "hmmm", then could just see the second one in passing... you actually installed the seals so the SKF number is at the top. Respect.
Heck of a job, Squatch. She's almost ready to have her legs bolted back on..... Sure do love the patina it has while looking more and more like a crawler. It'll look REAL good with those swamper tracks! As Derek would say over at Vice Grip Garage - She's FAC-TREE!
Thank you for the video.I share your enthusiasm with the engineering on these machines (seal retainers).That probably would have been a good title for this video. ''More than just a seal retainer.''!
Squatch if you said I need to run water or diesel fuel in my finals in my nonexistent D2, I would be fine with it. After watching you long enough to see you work, your word is not worth questioning.
Great episode. Sad to hear of troubles with the starting engine ... I’ve been wondering on that for a while. You’ll find a way forward though - you always do 😊
The final drives are looking real good, and heavy. I’m sure you’ll have a good setup to lift them into place, otherwise there will be acorns rolling around the floor. I have really enjoyed following along on the rebuild thanks for taking me/us along.
Slowly Squatch turns... step by step...inch by inch and BAM Squatch will catch us by surprise and fire up this cat!! Well it may not be a surprise but the suspense still goes on! Can't wait to see it running.
Seal retainer was designed when common sense was common. Today when someone uses a simple method to get great results it's should be called uncommon sense. LOL. Great progress. Happy Easter to you and your family.
Love it when on a RUclips video there is more jokes and puns than you can shake a stick at. Makes life more enjoyable than seeing a bunch of arguing and bickering over something silly that in the end everyone has the right to their own opinion. Glad you keep that stuff out of the comments.
To finalize the videos on the drive sections, can you show us some simple hand drawn diagrams of how it all works together? What I'm looking for is something showing "this turns this direction" causing "this to turn this direction" with appropriate arrows, etc. You know how all this works coming and going (like the back of your hand), but for us viewers it is a little confusing as you bolt & sandwich each housing layer together to see how it all interacts together.
I work on farm machinery all the time and people ask me what oil to use and I always tell them what ever the owners manual calls for. Or if someone asks what do you think about this oil I rarely have a comment good or bad. Because if someone dumps oil in that I said was ok and something blows up people tend to point fingers at ya. The ol D2 is coming along! Thanks for the great content!
Awesome video! Great explanation on those seal retainers. Everything they did had a reason, and nothing was done with out a reason. Amazes me how they were able to do feedback loops with mechanical devices, that nowadays use sensors and computers. Something to be said for the mechanical way when troubleshooting an issue. Easy to see a worn or broken metal piece. Pretty hard to tell that nowadays with out a computerized scanner. Easy to fix as well, weld a broken part or make a new one. Of course wouldn’t be doing that with the amount of torque going through those final drives, but linkages would be easy. Interesting you talking about oil. Just looking at topping up/changing the oil in the trans and finals on my D2. Looking for Cat’s recommended weight. Thinking 90, and something lighter in the trans. Have to get out the operators guide. Working on rebuilding hydraulic cylinders, leaking seals. Still trying to figure out where the oil in the bell housing is coming from. Main engine, pony engine, pinion housing or transmission. Now for the second time in a few months the pinion is kicking out at low rpm. Yesterday it kicked out every time I engaged compression, at about 1/4 throttle, diesel throttle off. Had to warm it up without compression, then open the throttle and then engage compression. Fires up fine as long as warm enough. Runs fine and shuts off fine, so I know diesel throttle is shutting off fine. Oh well another mystery to solve, or two. You and yours stay safe, and enjoy Easter weekend.
lol, you have to love the reality in your footage.. we're not perfect human beings.. love it. keep up the beautiful work. im not rebuilding my tractors but i learn something new every time i watch your videos. with what i watched today, im guessing it would be good to maybe run your tractors down a road or somehow lift your tractor and run those final drives to get all the oil to run everywhere. running them around the house like i do is probably not enough to get the oil to run everywhere inside the final drives.
OMG, Squatch, whatever that pink goo you used was all wrong! It's too slippery. My grandpa's son's kid in Kansas used whatever that stuff was and his bull gears accelerated out of control even with the engine shut off! He went right off the top of the mountain. Haven't heard from him since.
Glad I checked RUclips I thought this was coming out this evening lol great job buddy and I definitely agree with you on the oil people need to use what they use and call it good stop worrying if joe blow has better or worse oil in his stuff lol take care buddy can’t wait to see the next video
your opinion of oil is the same as mine. talking about oil back in the day my grandpa told me they use to put a rope wick in a barrel of old oil and let it flow threw the wick and clean the oil so they could reuse it
I use a similar method for construction projects at home as your gear lube selection. I figure costs out to the penny and then double the figure and gets me close to finished costs!
Things are starting to get very heavy. Soon you won't be able to lift stuff into place you'll have to use the cheary picker to lift every thing... nice video Squatch.....

Highspeed #1 failure, same.The salesmans job was to get you to like him more than the next salesman. Hence lots of "swag" giveaways at each visit.
Kind of have to agree on the lubricants topic. Everyone has a different idea on what to use. I have my own view just as 10x100 other people. So in that sense I can understand leaving that topic untouched is for the best. Agree on the thing that gears get destroyed from the lack of lubrication(or sometimes water +moisture damage). That has come up in my practice as well. Cage rollers will be a fun part to see. I think some of that CAT D2 roller design is still in use today.
Прекрасная серия фильмов! Спасибо! Небольшой совет. Когда в одиночку ставишь тяжелую крышку корпуса как здесь на 4:21, для того чтобы случайно не порвать прокладку и проще направить на подшипники, я применял временные самодельные направляющие. Что мне сделал токарь из болтов с такой же резьбой как в картере, но более длинных, просто сточив головку болта под ключ на плавное острие.
Good advice. I'm with you. I don't discuss religion, politics, or oil, grease, or lube of Any kind. I also don't discuss Anything about sex either. There's always that one bolt that is problematic.
The oil debate is interesting .... I would have thought there wasn’t much of a choice..! But here is my 2 cents worth ! Mack diff oil is the top of the pile ! From the worm drive jobs so good - best shear gualites
Oil Rule 1 - Some oil is better than none. Oil Rule 2 - Full oil is better than some. End of rules. 2 - Stroke observation: No motor ever died from too much oil. Many have died from too little ...
That assembly lube in the little aluminum (vienna sausage?) can was gorgeous, almost looked good enough to eat. Kind of like honey or STP, very clingy and very supple. Is that stuff a trade secret or would disclosing what it is violate the non-discussion policy on gearbox lubes? I sure liked the look of it as it went on. You covered a lot of ground here. Good work!
Have you ever tried the locktite 518 or similar flange sealer? We have been using that on our tugs and works great nice thing about it is it doesn’t clog up oil passages and stuff like what can happen with RTV or silicone. When excess is used it actually dissolves in oil/fuel but when used between flanges it’s a nice seal. We personally love it and it’s all we use now
I agree toby about the oil grades. I have seen more engines and whatnot destroyed by dirty oil or lack of oil. My personal rule for oil is use the best you can afford that you can get easily. Don't step over a dollar to pick up a penny
@Squatch253 - I have been searching for this video all morning, "How to adjust the brakes" . I guess i will just assume there is no need to mess with the bottom centering bolt and just tighten up (adjust) the brake. I just bought a 1937 D-4, it runs good. Oh yea the clutch lever when I release it does not have a good release or spring to hold the lever released so when I release it the dozer tries to keep moving so I keep wanting to use the left brake to stop dozer not sure if I think I am trying to use it as a brake or as a clutch, so that's why I need to adjust brake. Now I need to find video on clutch lever and see what that is about. I have watched the entire series, but memory is not what it used to be.
2:50 "much safer discussing [...] religion" Y'mean, like the religion of The One True And Right Oil? 😆 The 'wrong' oil is *always* going to be better than no oil, for sure. I have a lovely paperweight on my desk, from a ZF truck gearbox that ran with no oil in it (stationary, just driving the newly-fitted PTO), and it's one hell of a funny set of shapes. I'd never seen a roller bearing turn purple before!
I don't share my opinions on anything , and to avoid the issue with lubricants I will not be using any
Just kidding have a great April 1st.
I love this hahah
Lmao
Goin in dry, risky.
I can't blame you, Squatch, for staying away from what lubricants you will be using. I don't know why oil is such an emotional topic for so many people. I never tell anyone what oil I run in my motorcycle for the very same reason. It turns into a senseless circular arguement every time.
Air cooled Porsche guys are the absolute worst regarding using the "wrong oil" LOl!!! Rennlist forum is filled with worthless rants about it!
As a machinist in the industry fixing lots of machinery mishaps...I can testify to the addage of "any oil is better than none" quote. Seen lots of worn out parts with plugged grease ports & fresh grease on the fitting & the farmer saying..." I always grease it...not sure why it just broke.." ....
As the old saying goes, enough of the wrong oil is better than not enough of the right oil! Keep up the good work!
There you go. No truer words have ever been spoken.

This is way more enjoyable to work on than an Audi!
Toby, if there’s one thing about this channel that I love, it’s your attention to detail. You really know your stuff. Keep up the great content!!

Squatch dropped another epesode! Thank you 😊 for all your work.
Smart, patient, informed, articulate.....and.....diplomatic! Best wishes for Easter to you and the family.
Squatch don’t apologize for cutting it short. We come here for a mental break
You are the best teacher on You-Tube !!!!!!!
thank you for showing how to do things the right way.It helps me when I work on my 1950 D4.
I wish there was a channel like yours for every brand of tractor, figuring out my gn with limited tools hurts my head.
Happy Easter, and I thank you for keeping politics and other highly arguable topics away from the channel. It's so enjoyable to watch a video and read comments and not worry about the petty arguing that seems to follow those type of topics. Love the progress on the D2!!! Such a fantastic job you're doing on it...
I really appreciate your reasoning for not getting into lubrication preferences. You are wise and funny.
Toby, I was AMAZED to see you apply an uncleaned flat bar keeper to the housing with your flexratchet hammer and an unprecleaned bolt. So you are human after all.... Please know that I completely enjoy your work and your time in rhe shop, I also respect your retisence to get your options on those Trigger topics involved in the channels discussion.

When it comes to oil, WOW, you nailed it. If you put in the wrong oil you’ll be the first to know.
Experience is the best teacher.
Wow, that all went together so smoothly, beautiful work! Thanks for the episode
Looks good, coming along nicely. Can't wait for that first fire up.
I like your take on lubricants. Your explanation reminded me of my late father. The man HATED Quaker State. Didn't matter the oil/grease. Didn't matter the application.

The engineers of that day were artists
Love your work and as always, looking forward to the next one.
I saw the first one and thought "hmmm", then could just see the second one in passing... you actually installed the seals so the SKF number is at the top. Respect.
I’m glad you can still hit the hole, you’re still a mechanic !!!!!
Reminds me of the old saying - Yesterday I couldn't spell mech-a-neck, and today I are one.
Yep, you're a real mechanic all right!
Heck of a job, Squatch. She's almost ready to have her legs bolted back on..... Sure do love the patina it has while looking more and more like a crawler. It'll look REAL good with those swamper tracks! As Derek would say over at Vice Grip Garage - She's FAC-TREE!
Great episode! Really good progress. Happy Easter everyone
Man I enjoyed every minute of it! Great job from the master. You do a great job and meticulous! Looking forward to the next chapter on the d2.👌😎👍

Just enjoy your work and no arguing on stuff that is better left along. Thank you and Happy Easter.
On that frustrating bolt !!
You just weren't holding your tongue right !! Lol .
Looking good 😊👍👍👍👍
Flat cut bolts are great. Time flies when you're finding threads.
Getting close to 50K subs. You must be doing something right to be gaining like that. Congrats.
Slowly Squatch turns... step by step...inch by inch and BAM Squatch will catch us by surprise and fire up this cat!! Well it may not be a surprise but the suspense still goes on! Can't wait to see it running.
The bolt you can't see goes in easier than the one you can!
I have often found this to be true.
Because of my new no/line bifocal it is easier when I can't see it because of the distortion caused it not looking straight at it.
I was thinking the same thing. Braille WORKS 😂
Seal retainer was designed when common sense was common. Today when someone uses a simple method to get great results it's should be called uncommon sense. LOL. Great progress. Happy Easter to you and your family.

I very much enjoy your videos, you are a journeyman mechanic.
Excellent video Master Mechanic Toby. I am not sure what I am going to do when you get busy in the Spring. Keep the videos coming Sir. TY
really enjoyed watching you put things back together

Could use lard like they did back in the old days. And if you get it on your hands you can ran your hands through your hair to clean your hands off.
Yeah! Ha ha. Who needed brylcream. Lol
Excellent video your absolutely right about the oil the most important thing is to be full of oil and clean as possible
Only ever used first press virgin dinosaur oil, but make absolutely sure it's first pressing.
You are the Final Drive Ninja!
Love the BONUS. 😜 Another great video!
When a hammer is needed, whatever is within reach becomes a hammer. Therefore never leave your delicate test equipment within reach.
Everything in the field is a hammer except a screwdriver....that's a chisel
Almost everything can be used as a hammer. Most things can be used a pry bar.

I second your entire oil "Sermon" 100% agree
Are you not tempted to paint "Squatch was here 2021" inside the drive before sealing it all up!! :-)
Ha ha. What a time capsule that would make.
Amazing, all that work and not one swear word uttered, unusual for that type of work! Kudos!
That all gets edited out. Lol! I hate it when the bolt won’t start, especially when it is in a tough spot. Then you drop the bolt and can’t find it.
OMG, Squatch, whatever that pink goo you used was all wrong! It's too slippery. My grandpa's son's kid in Kansas used whatever that stuff was and his bull gears accelerated out of control even with the engine shut off! He went right off the top of the mountain. Haven't heard from him since.
Ha ha Squatch, loved the unedited part! How many hours of footage we have to take to edit down to make one smooth video...
Glad I checked RUclips I thought this was coming out this evening lol great job buddy and I definitely agree with you on the oil people need to use what they use and call it good stop worrying if joe blow has better or worse oil in his stuff lol take care buddy can’t wait to see the next video
That two handaled hammer was interesting, I must say.
Hold your tongue to the left instead of the right 😅😅😅😅. Nice neat work thanks for sharing.
Yep, sometimes it is in all the way you hold your tongue, and sometimes it has to be on Tuesday as well.
your opinion of oil is the same as mine. talking about oil back in the day my grandpa told me they use to put a rope wick in a barrel of old oil and let it flow threw the wick and clean the oil so they could reuse it
I will be back for every video
I have been waiting for this one, thankyou Mr Squatch....
Enjoying my lunch hour!!!
I use a similar method for construction projects at home as your gear lube selection.
I figure costs out to the penny and then double the figure and gets me close to finished costs!
Lubrication at the right time and correct amounts is insurance against break down! A wise Stahly saying lol
Things are starting to get very heavy. Soon you won't be able to lift stuff into place you'll have to use the cheary picker to lift every thing... nice video Squatch.....
Making small parts into big parts.
My Great Grandpa worked for Standard oil 1885-1930. His crew shoveled coal to fire the evaporation towers. (That's what they called them back then). They had to shovel the paraffin out after each batch. Gasoline was considered a waste product until 1914 and was simply dumped into the Hudson River. My grandfather worked for them too as a salesman 1918-1953. Oils were pretty crude compared to todays standards. Low speed #1 failure, lack of oil or contamination. Highspeed #1 failure, same.The salesmans job was to get you to like him more than the next salesman. Hence lots of "swag" giveaways at each visit.

It’s a touchy subject when you have to write ur engine lubricant opinions in Russian on here 🥴🤣
When it comes time, are we going to see some shots of fluids being added from jugs with the labels torn off? Haha
Good advice. I'm with you. I don't discuss religion, politics, or oil, grease, or lube of Any kind. I also don't discuss Anything about sex either.
There's always that one bolt that is problematic.
I have recently found out. That you can add covid vaccination to that list!
Usually it is the last bolt that gives the most trouble on disassembly.
Happy April the first, Toby hope all is well with you all.
Will never rebuild a D2!
Will never miss a video rebuilding a D2!
Enjoy the comparisons of the different years!
you forgot to remind everyone about the pin and washer grove when you put in the bolt with cork washer around the 21 min mark
The oil debate is interesting .... I would have thought there wasn’t much of a choice..!
But here is my 2 cents worth ! Mack diff oil is the top of the pile ! From the worm drive jobs so good - best shear gualites
Oil Rule 1 - Some oil is better than none. Oil Rule 2 - Full oil is better than some. End of rules.
2 - Stroke observation: No motor ever died from too much oil. Many have died from too little ...
Right on! Especially 2 stroke.
That assembly lube in the little aluminum (vienna sausage?) can was gorgeous, almost looked good enough to eat. Kind of like honey or STP, very clingy and very supple. Is that stuff a trade secret or would disclosing what it is violate the non-discussion policy on gearbox lubes? I sure liked the look of it as it went on. You covered a lot of ground here. Good work!
Do you really want to open that particular can of worms ??? LOL
@@MyOLD36chevy Or a can of sausage?
@@richardthompson5436 or can of oil. Lol! Not that oil comes in cans any more.
11:38 "You put it together in the reverse order of disassembly, right?" -- did you used to work for Chilton's Manuals?
This was a great video squatch253. Kinda nervous on the update for the starting engines but I'm sure you have a card up your sleeve.
As usual....excellent job. Looking forward to the next installment. When will see a video from Senior??
Great job!
Have you ever tried the locktite 518 or similar flange sealer? We have been using that on our tugs and works great nice thing about it is it doesn’t clog up oil passages and stuff like what can happen with RTV or silicone. When excess is used it actually dissolves in oil/fuel but when used between flanges it’s a nice seal. We personally love it and it’s all we use now
I love these videos.
The truth regarding lubrication, any is better than not enough oil or dirty oil .
I'm a fan of ANTI-SEIZE
I agree toby about the oil grades. I have seen more engines and whatnot destroyed by dirty oil or lack of oil. My personal rule for oil is use the best you can afford that you can get easily. Don't step over a dollar to pick up a penny
Here I thought I was the only one to make the gr sound when I was having trouble doing the same thing. But nope there are others also.👍😀
@Squatch253 - I have been searching for this video all morning, "How to adjust the brakes" . I guess i will just assume there is no need to mess with the bottom centering bolt and just tighten up (adjust) the brake. I just bought a 1937 D-4, it runs good.

Who hasn't been in the situation where the stupid bolt won't start :)
Many times
And unlike the bolt Squatch was having issues with, every bolt I seem to have issues with is always the most difficult to get at.
@@robobloxgamer524 Big hands and fat and or short and fat fingers
Put some hair around it
i can tell that red oil looks pretty good for assembly in my book :D i would use it or sure
Wise man! Avoid the lubricant discussion. I myselft fell into the same trap on larhe headstock lubricatin.
Another great Video 👍
2:50 "much safer discussing [...] religion"
Y'mean, like the religion of The One True And Right Oil? 😆
The 'wrong' oil is *always* going to be better than no oil, for sure. I have a lovely paperweight on my desk, from a ZF truck gearbox that ran with no oil in it (stationary, just driving the newly-fitted PTO), and it's one hell of a funny set of shapes. I'd never seen a roller bearing turn purple before!
I find that the best lubrication of large gears like that is a handful or two of 3/4 minus gravel.
You say, "Stupid Simple".....Hahahaha......say's the wise man to the idiot. I Love It!!! (smile)
After the last one, didn't jou just and ding that slightly scraping oil feeder to make it clear the bull gear 100%, the one that was not broken?
Those sprockets seem sharp to me. Back when I ran the 955 we'd be looking to change them. :-)
