- I'm doing some maintenance on the vintage Bristol Bulldozer I picked up for $500 for last month. This time I'll change the engine oil and filter, final drive and gearbox oils. flush and refill the radiator with long life coolant and I'll spread some gravel on my driveway

The bird chirping in the background makes your works so much more relaxing to see...thank you
I like a lot of things about Marty's videos, and I especially like hearing the birds sing.
This man is the da vinci of fixing tractors and bringing them back to life.
Somebody in 2050 Will grateful for your care of this piece of vintage engineering🇬🇧🍷🇫🇷😷🛠🥟🥟🥟🥟🥟🥟🥟🥟
Really appreciate seeing these older machines shown some respect.
Hi Marty. I find your videos extremely relaxing. You never seem to get stressed or curse. Any problems are met with a “Ah well, I’ll just have to .....” And you do! I know it can’t always be that idyllic but it’s nice for the rest of us ‘tinkerers’ to dream.
So true
Apart from everything else which I enjoy immensely the sound of the birds singing is a huge bonus.
I love how you care for her i hope you have another episode of her which you repaint her or else to make her even more beautiful
What a peaceful place to live Marty,those birds in the background are very relaxing.
New fluids..............you just saved a life.
Watching you working on the Bristol reminds me of my grandad; this was sent to me by a relative that knew him in the 1930s he said this,
"he made his own Micrometer, some feat ! he also pioneered the electric welding repair of sheared drive shafts of electric motors insitu - also I understand that he Patented a 'reduction gear box' when the early Morris Oxfords, Crossley. Humber Cars were used for ploughing, before the advent of tractors." In the UK during WW2.
I still have the micrometer.
When his son started work (my dad) he worked for Chaseside in Blackburn Lancashire before they were bought out by JCB
I like your videos very straight to the point and informative.
I have watched most of your recent videos and keep popping into the past ,I hope it helps your YT.
Sounds like your grandad was a very clever guy
Thanks very much for these vids, I really enjoy you fuxing your machines, your bulldozer and your uxcavator, and you must have the best driveway in N.Z.
Nice job. With all that birdsong and the drone view of the country at the end it looks like you have yourself a little corner of paradise.
Yeah he lives down the road from middle Earth.
My dear late grandfather, as well as his 2 sons (my uncles, now deceased), were very accomplished excavators/graders. Especially my Mom's youngest brother. Being a professionally-trained (USMC) heavy equipment operator, his expertise on flattening an earthen surface had to be witnessed to be believed! Having said that, it's evident that Marty possesses that same innate ability!
Theres something Zen about pushing dirt, Despite the noise and vibration the satisfaction of making a track whole again and sorting fall and drainage is great.
A place I lived in had a fairly steep long drive on red clay soil and in winter my then wife would have to leave her car at the bottom of the drive so I could run it up to the house for her like a rally stage and it took quite a bit of shovel work and many ute loads of gravel to make it whole so she could drive to the front door.
Even when it was pissing down id grab my driza and hat and go play in the rain checking runoff and fall, making tweaks and changes and doing maintenance.
Weirdly I miss it lol
Haha its a bit like that here after fresh earthworks until the rain washes the silt off the track
Nice work marty
i do enjoy this series
Hearing the sounds of the NZ bush again makes me homesick. So nice to hear the sounds of the birds.
Sounds like Spring is back in the UK
Sounds like the Dandenong Ranges, Bell birds and wildlife with the odd chuff chuff Choof Toot toot of Puffing billy the only thing missing lol
Paul Lochhead Yeah I agree Mate. I parked it up in the Idaho Rocky Mountain bush but it's got a different sound to it.

@@SoddingaboutSi Yes just about few more days yet, haha seen my first Xmas Robin redbreast yesterday beautiful thing had a look of bloody Xmas spring time lol
It's amazing to see you save old equipment like this from a would be rust pile, keep it up
I love watching all of your videos. I"m amazed at how many rags you seem to have. I never have enough. I actually have to buy rags to throw away. I love how you keep this old iron up and running.
With the kids growing so fast I have a steady supply of little person rags ;)
Sweet little machine nice job on the water pump rebuild
That old dozer did a nice job. I'm waiting on spring to hear the birds sing. Beautiful place you have 👍
I am amazed at how much you know about these old dozers. Just WOW.
Great Video, amazing the results you can get for some skill and sweat! thanks for sharing
I traded a truck for an old bulldozer years ago. I had never used anything like it before. I wish I had access to your videos back then, I sure would have done a lot of things differently. Thanks for sharing.
Little tip on operating, the more you can go with keeping a blade full of material. The better off you will be in the long run. Pick a spot where you can find good material at, and push it with one pass until you can get a windrow set up the length of your work area. Then you can go back and spread the remainder of the material on a return pass. It may be easier for the machine to push downhill. But with every piece of equipment i run, you always do a nice job pushing up hill. Keep up the good work, i'm jealous of the bush excavator you got.I grabbed a 67 M-100 motor grader at an auction for $750, took a couple sets of fuel filters to get it running, and a few u joints to make it work. Have a big summer ahead of me to get it working well.
In the comments for the previous video, someone said you should re-engine this dozer. Just a terrible idea - this machine is a fantastic survivor, and being kept alive in as original state as possible, doing light work is exactly the right thing for it. It's a museum piece, and all the better for not actually being in a museum; I hope it gives you many years of service doing exactly the kind of work we see in this video!
Why would you re engine if it has the Perkins diesel engine? The P3 was a major contributor to Perkin's record of reliability.
That old Dozer did a good job.👍 on dirt road. Great job fixing up that dozer you give that dozer more years of life
Thanks again Marty for another share and video
i appreciate the tranquil feeling i get watching you work sir.. looking forward to more..
Great to see these old girls coming to life again and even better to see them working 👍🏼🇬🇧
Nice to see the old girl back at it . Thanks for the video
Tusen takk for god underholdning. 👍🤗👍🇸🇯
I like your care and respect for the old machinery you own.
As a painter, id love to get one of these machines and make it look as good on the outside as they are now on the inside!
Be my guest ;)
loving this little dozer she will love you big time for all the servicing you are one very clever man thank you for the videos
It's good fun watching your videos!
Great job on the exhaust. Reminds of of the coat-hanger car aerial!
comparing to major trend of footage with presenting the startup , the renovation , I pretty much like this video on why you buy and its useness and hard job. Not boring at all. Keep going this way.
The dozer did a great job.
Brilliant vlog, keep up the good work. Thanks.
Sounds a whole lot better with the water pump fixed. Does a nice job as well, handy little machine.
I think your so lucky , what a lovely place to live and work 👌👌👌👌
Congratulations for Brasil, repair old machines is delicious ,
Gosh....the New Zealand country side in the mountains is beautiful!
Listening to the birds while you work on the bully!!. That's NZ for ya. Paradise
Cool little 70 year old Dozer👍👍😊 Nice Job!
Awesome video on this vintage bulldozer. I'm really enjoying this.
Even a bit of track tension talk, just what a Chieftain viewer likes.
You know I've watched too many of these videos when I know what you're doing without you having to explain it to me.
Marty T you have the best luck in finding stuff and bring it back to life. All that's left is to find you an old road grader. Lol. Do enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Good fun made me have a chuckle 😎
What a sweet little dozer! Perfect for grading your road.Well worth the money you payed!😀👍
That little dozer never had it so good 😎
Great videos!
That is a sweet little crawler.
True heaven on Earth. Before I die I hope I get to visit your small country of New Zealand...
This old bulldozer has class. It had cappuccino in the differential!
My great friend and mentor Mr Tom Plumber had a dozer like this ..
Good job
Love all your videos hey
Pretty nice job for your first time in a dozer nice videos
great job great to see you give the old girl a new lease on life
I love your videos keep them coming
My Dad used a dozer like that in the 60's road mending here in the U K he used to call his a calf dozer because of its size. Youve done a grand job there getting that back to work well done mate.
There's also actual "calf dozer"s, these had the engine behind you so you were bascally sitting with your calves on the blade.
@@kotten9534 Yup. EIMCO 103s come to mind.
Great video of a great Dozer. Reminds me of when i got my Ferguson T20 tractor. The hydraulics diddnt work so i drained the hydraulic oil. First couple of seconds was crystal clear water followed by “chocolate milk”. Fortunately the system hadn’t corroded and fresh oil was all it took. Many years of happy service since.
Great video. Love watching them
Marty if these old machines could talk they would just love you for helping them live again. Your great work ethic is the best. Great videos.. Thank you
AGREE, well edited video footage for us viewers,
That's a good little bulldozer, spreading quite nicely working the road !
Well done! Cant wait for more videos on the little dozer 👍
Excellent as usual Marty
Awesome Marty...
Смотрю твои видео и потихоньку начинаю понимать английский)))
Красивые места , прямо как у нас!
Two things i'd change about the road.
1. i'd find the cheapest clay money can buy (even dig it yourself if you can from some pit somewhere) and deposit it along the water trench. Doesn't need to be a thick strata. Can be applied using preformed balls that then crushed using a concrete roller (maybe even an attachment for this dozer). That's to stop water from going in the bank.
2. every slope bottom, a trench going perpendicular to the road and at a shallow angle for a pipe to fit in with a collection dam (the water slams in the dam, and is collected in to the pipe which then shoots it out the bank down in the forest). The pipe should pierce out at about one meter from the bank to ensure it doesn't chew the bottom of the bank.
This is somewhat (this is the cheapest form, mind you) the standard way to maintain such a road in a forest environment. Otherwise water will erode it eventually. One year, two processes start to appear depending on soil composition and how much rain you get. Just my two cents.
Kudos on the repair, looks like a stout unit with plenty of life left innit.
Marty knows how to deal with dylithium crystals and Flux capacitors. Scottie would be proud of you ladd. I know i am.
Still amazing to see you do what it takes to get these historical machines back up and running.
And, that little piece of heaven you have right there that you call the bush, is exactly where I'd love to be one day. Another GREAT video Marty!!! Thank You. 👍👍 ☆Jay☆
You are one Master Mechanic
Awesome save mate
It amazing what you have done with someone else's junk. It reminds me of what my late father used to say: no matter how old a piece of equipment is, if you service it right it will do the job.
I love this kind of work 👍
well done marty.nice to see you care bout old machines... good to see it working again with new oil . lucky tractor.... am doing the same with my old 9g chamberlain in wa australia. love the birds chirps in nz i miss that... keep up your good work
Angry ram has met his match now.
I must have missed that video.
Very handy little tool !
The old girl luvs to work!!
Again, I am learning allot watching your videos. In the last 2 years I acquired two 6 foot wide front Mowers, a TurfCat and a John Deere and a Ford Bucket Loader, all Diesel.
I'd say you are doing what a mans soul needs to be doing, I envy you !
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
Perfect size for trail work. Glad you did right by her.
,,great job on bringing the old iron beast back to life...
She's good to go now! Marty T you are all right mate!
Bloody great job again
Nice job on fabricating the thermostat and bearing shaft. Your dozer skills are great. Most inexperienced operators end up with a washboard set of lumps. Your lane looks pretty smooth. Slightly better than using the drag behind your suv. But then again each has it's niche. From Texas, thanks for the ride along. :-)
Because of the high cost of motor oil, you could use filtered used oil in the bottom of the air filter, or even cheap vegetable oil.
Masterful job of rehabbing a quite nice little dozer. Your creative solutions to making parts is to be commended. Really enjoyed the videos. AAAAA+++++
What I like about Marty is that he fixes things correctly. That's rare in this age.
Brings back some memories my grandad had a Bristol crawler he used on the farm in Devon on the hills in the 60's and 70's.
I wouldn't worry about the slop in the blade linkages, you can use that to your advantage when pushing tracks. My first doza was a Inta D6.
Good point, it does follow the track camber nicely with the blade floating
Congratulations with your running dozers, looking amazing. Thank you for sharing your amazing journey. God bless you and your family
You are so inspiring Marty. After watching I just want to get out and change the oil in the car, tune the mower, adjust the whipper snipper...
new zealand ,beautiful. the birds singing so amasing. you are a skilled craftsmen. love your videos. Marana, Arizona. USA.
You sir are a genius love the video and the fact that you didn't booger up the ground doing it you did such a nice job on an old piece of History like that cheers mate
So cool to save the dozer from rotting away
greetings from Finland, top notch job there you've done to that lil' thing.
