I worked on a locomotive engine (Dash 8 with a 7FDL-16) that had similar buildup. The previous operators had ran it without changing the filters for a significant amount of time, so much so that the filter’s cardboard bodies had disintegrated. The only reason the current operator knew anything was wrong was that the oil pump started making noise, they called us for a new oil pump. Turns out all that soot, grease, and cardboard burnt pieces covered up the oil pickup. We replaced the oil pump, oil and filters and they were having to run the motor to temperature, let the pickup grab a bunch of soot and gack, and clean it out. There was so much junk in that engine they had to do that 10 times before it would run for more than 30 minutes without clogging the pickup and shutting down for low oil pressure.
At work I'm running as less than a year old skidsteer that the shop has ignored the 500hr oil change interval to near 1000hrs, simply because we've got major changes coming and the skidsteers will be going away, replaced with "mini loaders"
Zach. That was impressive as hell. I'm talking about your diligence and getter done attitude as much as your wrenching skills. I appreciate all of the insights you have shared about oilfield operations. This is a wonderful part of life you are sharing with the world.
@@TheZachLife I’ve got a seized 6bt Cummins that I want to try this on. Is there a particular cylinder to use and what psi should I stop at. Any tips would be greatly appreciated, cheers!
Amazing. This is the content I want to see here. You made that sadly rusted engine run again. I really hope to see this engine run with full power one day so that you can see the pump work. This just shows you how forgiving the older less-stressed engine designs are to withstand this and still run as well as it did with a damaged injection pump.
Zach, reminds me so much of growing up. My dad brought plenty of oil field junk home from the scrap yard to turn it into working equipment. When my dad passed away I was left with the largest collection of Buda engines on earth.
Zach with the “high-and-tight” haircut…, love it. You sir amaze me with your skills. That is awesome to see that unit running. Look forward to seeing it in full service action Great video, Thank you sir.
Wow, Zach! Love this diesel engine, just awesome. I am so amazed at your skills to troubleshoot and get 'er done! This is one of my favorite of all your videos. Its like you "bond" with your machines with your expertise and knowledge. You are certainly a gifted mechanic. Thanks so much for sharing your skills with all of us. It is much appreciated.
Zack, you are awesome at what you do. I love watching your content and can't wait to see what you have in store for this poor old kitty and pump!! You keep making videos and I'll keep watching them! I still can't believe you don't have more subscribers.
I must say that I am impressed. My initial thought is that someone had vandalized the engine, but after you started taking it apart, I believe that it just set out in the rain, with nothing over the exhaust. I used to go back between the engines on those old mechanical drive drilling rigs and lay down and keep warm, while they were running my test string, or retrievable packer/stinger in the hole, and I DO love the sound of those Caterpillars
Zach I just recently got a John Deer tractor going for my neighbor. It was blowing black smoke out of the exhaust and the blow-by tube. Worst I ever saw. It would run for less than a minute then shut down. It started with a cracked head. He replaced the head and never could get it to run without the black smoke and shutting itself down. He put a new injector pump and all new injectors still no change. After I set the valves and set the pump timing I realized he had the injector lines crossed at the pump. It had so much soot in the oil I suggested he change the oil before doing any work with it. It now runs great and he has changed the oil. One bump of the starter and it will start right up no ether. I would suggest with the thin oil you have and amount of carbon in the pan you may have some similar fuel problem. Now no exhaust smoke and no blow by.
Mechanical, electrical, plumbing, machining, hydraulics, pneumatics, SCADA, and the list goes on. It's time to change the old saying from jack of all trades to "Zach of all trades"!!! Happy Holidays, Zach.
Loved this video. I had thought about recovering waste oil with a shop vac. Good to know that it recovers waste oil just fine. Nice work on getting it to run, I thought it was a total loss and I cannot believe the sheer neglect that engine endured.
Zach, you are a boss. Much respect. Every guy, (self included) that has taken some junk and gotten it to work knows the feeling. For about 2 seconds you know what it feels like to win the Daytona 500. Happy as a sissy first day of sissy camp. My Dad pumped wells, he loved oil and I still do...hard to explain. Uh, I am an IT guy in AC office downtown in big city with no dirt under fingernails ever, haha...Life will make you laugh...that ole girl didnt sound too bad, even when you had her running on 5.
I’ve watched many engine videos, and “will it start videos”. I really enjoyed this one. It was fun to see that dinosaur come back to life. I’d feel pretty good about the progress you made!
Well done!!! I’ve never seen a smile on your face that big in all of your videos! You deserve to put this one in the WIN column,….Ida sent that back to the scrap yard when I seen all the shit in the oil pan! Way to go Zach, one of your best videos yet!
This was one of you best videos yet. Just fun seeing you getting that to run caused me the gammet of emotions. I mean l laughed l cried, Well l mean laughed until l cried anyway. Simply just great content all around Zack. How you Approach repairing stuff Is just the best and this one beats them all. Love your channel And this videos worth an academy award. I say all this with the utmost respect.
Zach, Wow! I gave up a few times ... But you pushed it on through!! Excellent problem solving! Like I have come to know about you! I just can't believe you used all that ether on that engine knowing that it could hurt it?? (LOL) With all the rust in the cylinders I was shocked it didn't lock up again. Thank you for the great video!!
Great resurrection! That thing wants to live😮. Something that crossed my mind, when you showed the clogged injector-screens and mentioned the 'low' hp compared to the engines mass: i thought 'yeah, but those things could literally run on wasteoil.... wait!' I bet this thing was fed with every trash that was at hand...
So did someone run that engine until the oil transformed into a semi-solid? Then probably someone added diesel to get it running but failed, I guess? Great job, btw.
I did not even know what a roll tail was until today. I had seen trailers with the roll on the back, but never had thought about what its purpose was. Learned something new.
Congratulations on getting this running. This is the kind engine that the guy on the RUclips channel "I do Cars" would tear down, not try to fix. (If the engine was out of a car or truck).
Most industrial engines have an accessory drive with a shaft to a pulley. It changes the ratio of the amount of torque trying to turn a motor's crank shaft. Better than a pipe wrench directly on the crank shaft.
You are a tuff man Zach. A lot of us would have given up on that internal rust bucket. I am curious to see what the bull gear and crosshead look like. By what we've seen of the engine, i'd bet the fluid end is beyond used up. Thanks for bringing us along on Your adventures. Best Wishes to You, Your Family and Friends.
I have never been able to understand why people would abuse or neglect machinery or vehicles to this extent, I've never seen an engine in shape that bad. I think it's because I had to work hard for every last thing I got in life and struggled when I was young but I really understand the value of things and it boggles my mind to see people just ruin something through sheer laziness like this engine.
Exactly. He does as he likes at his own pace, keeps his stuff where he wants while using his money as he pleases and no one to nag him about organizing or cleaning up or telling him he has too much junk or telling him he has spent too much money.
Work had a lorry that had not had the oil changed in about a decade. It would turn over but no longer start. It was going to be auctioned in January as junk. On a slow night, took off the oil pan because nothing would drain out. What was in the sump was tar. The engine was caked with the nastiest filth I had ever seen. I steam cleaned the underside until it resembled and engine again, installed the pan, changed glow plugs and a little of the burnt wiring, filled it with oil (not very good oil) and it fired up. It was really smokey but ran smooth. I tested compression and it was good. I let the ugly thing idle over night. By the end of the night, the engine was burning clean. I have used it like a yard dog a few times now. I think I am going to put fresh oil in it and tell work to put it back in service. It seems the number one reason engines stop running is negligence. I just wonder which day shift mechanic ordered it auctioned.
Howdy! I am sure someone other than me has posted that the previous owners may have used gasoline in the oil to help break down the sludge and other buildup inside the engine, which is why you seemed to have smelt gasoline. I like your doggedness in sticking to your project and get it going . Hell...that looked like fun and if I was 30 years younger, and had you asked, I would have been there in a heartbeat to lend a hand. But I know that these channels are all about individuals working on their own stuff and the journey to get it accomplished. Nevertheless, I think this project was great and am looking forward to see what come next! Keep up the good work! Oh.. forgot to ask... have you checked the turbo to see if it turns. Without that it won't run very well!
That was fun. I’ve been pondering a backup hydro diesel generator. I’m amazed that these motors will still run considering the abuse, hard use, and neglect throughout their life. Really interesting video, what I think is funny is that as a viewer when I got hooked at the beginning of the video I had to see it run. I was ready to hop in my truck and drive over there and pitch in to help. It’s just human nature to want to help. ( the good humans , anyway). Porta power move ..incredible.
It's almost like it came though a flood or at least was sitting near the coast for a long time. I know that feeling though of bringing something back to life. Its the reason for getting up in the morning some days.
Belated happy thanksgiving. You are something!!! GREAT VIDEO!! Where would a pump like this fit into your operation? I was hoping for a rebuild video on the engine. That haircut looks more like a late spring model as apposed to a late fall one. lol
Is it just me...Or you been gone for ~ 1 year! I always enjoyed your "bush fixes" you shared W/the folks + I learned one hell of a lot about what happens to the (mostly filthy) oil when first pumped to the surface...I will be looking for your videos once again, thanks, John S.
The moral of the story is that old CAT is just about Indestructible, my god that thing was severely abused. I've seen a big old abandoned cat D7 sit for 30 years after having been stuck in a flood & a CAT mechanic got it running & drove it away, I found that unbelievable too.
I agree with you about Caterpillar, they’re not my favorite either. I’d take a Detroit (2-stroke or Series 60) over a Cat any day. Realistically though, I would take any of the pre-emissions engines over anything made today.

The 7FDL-16s seem to be good motors. They're everywhere still today and being rebuilt by Wabtec for railroads.
@@ApproachAspectcertainly no diesel ever sounded better than a 7FDL-16. Chug chug chug chug!
Very cool! I used to fuel the BNSF locomotives.
American infrastructure FTW
Was it owned by Pan Am by chance?
That “oil” stopped being oil about 500 hours ago.

Yup, and it's red, and just like red lock tite, the only that that will free it up is copious amounts of Terry the Torch

Think the only time the oil was changed was when it was put in the first time. Worst I've ever seen.
Knowledge and persistence has paid off!
Rusty Cat lives!
Nice job with the porta power defibrillator!
Looking forward to seeing that massive pump come to life!
You're not the only one!

Enjoyed the video, you are a very resourceful man. Don't believe the oil was ever changed in that engine, such abuse of equipment.
Incredible to see what skill and ingenuity you have.
Did they use crude oil for engine lube?
Bituminous coal, maybe.

Try changing that fuel priming pump. It's probably letting air in fuel system. Love watching your perseverance! KEEP IT UP
Great video, Zach. Never doubted you would get her going.
Puno pozdrava majstoru iz hrvatske nisam još vidio takvu pumpu visokog pritiska

When I sold my truck, a 2006 KW with a C15 Acert, in 2019 it had 1,128,000 miles, changed the Bypass oil filter every 10,000 miles
Zach, there is something wrong with your brain. Rainman style. Im impressed.
1 injector not working at all?
Really enjoyed the video. Please do a follow up with whether the pump works or not...

"And don't call me Shirley..."
Easiest way to tell if a motor has been overhauled recently or not is to look at the exhaust manifold bolts.
Like your status. One man show , no boss to say no ! , likes to experiment, let’s give it a go !

Sure is.

Safe to say the overhaul story was a bit of a stretch

Congrats on getting that beast running!
They're 40k hour engines because they're so massive and overbuilt. They'll essentially run forever with nothing more than a refresh every 20k hours.
It's almost like it came though a flood or at least was sitting near the coast for a long time. I know that feeling though of bringing something back to life. Its the reason for getting up in the morning some days.
Belated happy thanksgiving. You are something!!! GREAT VIDEO!! Where would a pump like this fit into your operation? I was hoping for a rebuild video on the engine. That haircut looks more like a late spring model as apposed to a late fall one. lol
It’s a mud pump for drilling. I’ll explain it all when I get to work on the actual pump. Thanks.

D353 is what that is. Same engine we used on USS Opportune generators. Same bore size as d399
Moteur D353 de D9G, 25l de cylindrée pour un poids de 3 tonnes; 1375 trs/mn.
Excellent!!!👍👍👍💪💪💪
Not sure who had more patience you for keeping working on it or me for watching till the end. Lol glad you got it fired!
Are you sure it's getting enough air? I bet it has the factory air filter with enough dirt on it to grow a sack of potatoes! 😅
The moral of the story is that old CAT is just about Indestructible, my god that thing was severely abused. I've seen a big old abandoned cat D7 sit for 30 years after having been stuck in a flood & a CAT mechanic got it running & drove it away, I found that unbelievable too.
They always say fresh overhaul, or 100k on the in frame. But then it's got more smoke out the breather than out the stacks.
Great vid. These revivals are great.
Great video man! Happy holidays from bartlesville!

Atf works great rust and gummed up parts light to penetrate and high detergent
Love that you got it running! i was going to watch a movie tonight... turned out to be this movie about getting a big engine to run!

I hope you get a lot of views and likes. You're going to need the money for this one!😂
glad you got a fire built in it sounds like turbo is stuck what kind of starters are on that
