    When my 1960 DB 2.7 ltr Diesel, air cleaner base rotted out, I found a stainless steel saucepan in the kitchen, that was a perfect fit.
    It simply clipped into place and has a handle to ease those messy oil changes. It's still there 15 years later..

    Matt from Diesel Creek will be putting in a bid for that one 😂.
    Often wish a company would start producing manual (no electric’s) machines/tractors like this again, but then I guess people would hold on to them for too long 🤷🏻‍♂️.

    Love this video series! In my teens, my folks had property in Idaho and bought a Cat D1 with hand crank start gas engine that I played with. The right side final drive slipped so trying to climb a hill or push over a dead tree, it would want to turn. It was soo much fun! That was to late ‘70’s or so…

    Tell you what, Mucker, could do with the old DB dozer right now!
    Just be sure that the water distribution tube inside the head, right behind the water pump, is not corroded away. That's a common failure with those old DB engines, and yet is a simple repair - You can, and we did, actually make your own replica tube, and what a massive difference it makes to the engine.
    Nice machine you have there!
    Seen TopDon kit around for a while. I guess I should be taking a look at some of their products!

  • @69woodburner
    @69woodburner 10 месяцев назад

    I can personally vouch for the Topdon stuff. A friend showed me a battery tester some while ago. I was impressed and bought one. My intelligent battery charger died, so I bought one of theirs. It is superb and spends it's life connected to my kit car. I have the JS3000 Jump Starter due to owning an automatic car. Again I'm delighted with it. Last year I tried it on the Spartan kit car which had a knackered battery - I don't think it has ever started so quickly! Lastly I have purchased a Phoenix Lite 2 bi-directional wireless scan tool. I haven't registered it as the imported car it was bought is in the hands of the DVLA awaiting a registration number. I would recommend their products for anyone - usual disclaimer, I'm only a satisfied customer and I bought the stuff I have.

    Prefect size for a dozer. Small enough to be easy to haul. Not so small that it isn’t useful. Probably impressive how quiet the tracks are after sitting in the dirt so long. Normally you’d think they would have a heck of a screech to them.
