We had several stuck track bushings on our 1934. Tried everything. Torch heat, oil, soaked them in diesel. Nothing worked until we ran it in water. A nice sloppy wet snow helped alot. 😊 some of them are still a little tight.
I'm glad you guys finally decided to just run those tracks. Turning doesn't help as much as having more weight and pulling a heavy load to stretch the links back in place. I'm happy to see you guys winning for once.
Just the same, I can't tell you how much we appreciate the support. 😊 I'll be slowing down to one video a week for a while. Going to keep up the members videos. 👍
Outstanding video. 👍👍. Clevis vs shackle , taste great vs less filling. Different geographical areas have different names. I was trained that clevis takes smooth clevis pin. Shackle uses a pin that has threads and screws in. We used both on the job and that is how we communicated when using one or the other.
Hi there guys. Persistence pays off, and the pain train runs like beauty. As for your choice words the tracks, I could only imagine what they would be, out there no one could hear them LOL The bucking bronco was heading out to the sun set, what a view. Go you good thing. Catch you all on the Ep. Aus Peter✌🪛🗜🔩🛠
Watching some of your engine teardowns. You should get in touch with Jim's Automotive Machine Shop. Another RUclips father son Machinist and farmers in Colorado. Found you guys via Sqautch.
lefty tracks are going feel like an old broken pair of shoes. By the time lefty gets them back. Aron you look like a kid in the candy store driving that old cat around.
I think we're heading in the right direction. There's still a couple of links that are putting up a fight. I must admit it was a lot of fun just driving it around. 👍😊
The last couple of difficult links, need a few applications of oxy/acetylene then oil. I've freed up many shipping container doors that were near frozen solid, using heat and oil. :)
Hello, I started my 1937 d4 without the compression lever put on and drove it for a bit. It was missing a lot. I thought it was missing because, one time in the past, I had not started the dozer for about 6 or 7 months. And I think the diesel was thick, I guess. I could not bleed the system it ran on 2 cylinders, then 3, then after I drove it for a while, it started running good. But I got off to check something or try to bleed it dont remember for sure what I was thinking, but I saw I had forgot to turn the compression lever on when I started it. I turned it on and it started running good. I was so relieved I thought I was using the dozer for maybe the last time.
I have heard that old fellas used to used gelignite to blow the master pins out of dozer track chains. A bit late to try that now I guess. You need to put your spurs on Aaron. 😂😂
I knew I forgot something, 🤠. My cousin told me about how they blew a sprocket off of a D8 with det cord. 😬 It was at a mine somewhere in South Dakota where he worked. He said it worked like a charm. I never did ask how they got it back on. 🤔
@@lifeafterourloss Im sure one of the funny looking tools was probably for the pony engine keeper tool. Hopefully its a salvagable pony engine. I do see some of the track rollers need to be reshimmed. Other than that you have a running machine that is ready for use.
What you call a binder, we called a boomer. A properly chained down load was boomed down. Some people had fancy boomers which could take multiple pulls on a chain referred to as walking boomers. Interesting how language works.
Holy heck two tracks on each side, how does that work, 😂 lol and Cleve's explained to me, is the ones that are twisted for draw bar, use so that the loop is horizontal not vertical like a shackle. You didn't say that like John Wayne, yo oh
I was watching this D7 video and I realized that it had the same frozen track problem; a day of pushing brush didn't fix it. ruclips.net/video/OyLkoF0iu8o/видео.htmlsi=4N5nI_K6M4xowSXr
Very interesting. I don't think there is a simple fix. Thank you for sharing this video. I will have to keep an eye on any possible solutions they find. 😊
Difficult for you = entertaining for us.
Squatch send me. Like your humor. Epic ride into the sunset. 😂
Thank you, and welcome to the channel! 👍
Woohoo! Just about got that bucking bronco all busted, the ride should start getting a lot smoother now 👍

Another one from squach ……Glad to get the recommendation and happy to join in…Thank You All ..😊👍
Nice to see another installment.
I'll be switching to once a week for a while.
I can’t tell you how much I enjoy your videos, the hours, the editing. Thank you you so much!

@ Yes Sir, no worries here.

Thank you! Now that you mention it, the differences make complete sense. I learn a lot of things here. 👍😊

Thanks Peter. We really feel like we turned a corner on this one. Let's just say a little bit of editing helps with those words occasionally, 😉.

Welcome to the channel! I will check out Jim's Automotive. 😊👍
Great video 👍👐
So three city Slickers walk into the same bar. The cowboy ducked he didn’t hit his head on the bar.
🤔
Lol funny😊
Listening to this, I had the sudden realization I am likely the only person in quite a distance around me who knows who Holt and Best were..
I like the Farmall with the single front wheel. The angle disk is cool too.
Buster is a good name.
Thank you.
Great Stuff.....really enjoyed the show. Always have loved rodeo's!!!
Whoever it is, that is editing this video is doing a great job. Great video no quit in either one of you!
Thank you very much for the compliment. I (Aaron) do all of the editing now. Learning as I go. 👍
OMG love the new test bed for d4 parts
It's perfect and a very good runner!

Shaking hands with danger to the 9th degree when I seen you whirling her in circles nice job!
🤣, that was actually a lot of fun!
The last couple of difficult links, need a few applications of oxy/acetylene then oil. I've freed up many shipping container doors that were near frozen solid, using heat and oil. :)
We're going to give that a try in a future episode. We also want to experiment with the hot wax trick. 👍
Buster is doing a great job of breaking those tracks loose! Cowboy up!
Well cowboy, that was fun! Enjoyed. Thank you😂😂😂
You are very welcome. 😊
She’s gettin there!
It's a long road. There's definitely Improvement and I think we're getting there.
if you add water on you track the rust will move as you drive it around Trev
We're hoping for a good wet snow to drive it in this winter.
Sometimes you just have to use a bigger hammer!
That is definitely a favorite technique of many family members.

It really is an easy mistake to make. I bet it was a relief when it started running well, 🤣. 👍
Way to go Aaron, Greg and Buster, i am glad that the tracks are finally loose and you tamed the bucking bronco, success!!
Quite a show Buster put on to free the stubborn tracks! I wonder if pulling the tillage tool from the beginning would have freed it faster?
I've been told that putting stuck or sticky tracks under load is very good to break them loose. My guess is you're probably correct 👍
Awesome content. LAOL - 1; sticky tracks - 0
Thank you! We've only got about one or two track links that need a little persuasion. 👍
Victory Victory!
The battle:
50% knowing
25% red lasers
25% blue lasers
.....and the occasional fist fight. 😉

Thanks for sharing guys
A wise man once said "when in doubt C4"
Guaranteed to break something loose, 🤣.
......that and the cutting torch, but no names here. 😁
For a few sticky ones the chain is mostly loose now. I'm surprised how healthy this D4 engine sounds. Just keep working it, cowboy style 💪
We really love this tractor. It's a great Runner and definitely worth getting the pony motor going. 🤠

Why this hasn’t come up in my suggestions before I don’t know. Thanks Squach! Great video.
Great content!!!
Thank you!
Funniest episode ever guys!

What you call a binder, we called a boomer. A properly chained down load was boomed down. Some people had fancy boomers which could take multiple pulls on a chain referred to as walking boomers. Interesting how language works.
That was always a riff between Dad and Grandpa. I always called them boomers like Grandpa. Dad never liked that.
Now if you had a creek crossing or bed that you can drive through you will be amazed.
We were hoping for a good wet snow. Otherwise, the nearest creek is a long drive away. 😊
Holy heck two tracks on each side, how does that work, 😂 lol and Cleve's explained to me, is the ones that are twisted for draw bar, use so that the loop is horizontal not vertical like a shackle. You didn't say that like John Wayne, yo oh
🤣 it's always disappointing when I miss a great comedic opportunity.
@lifeafterourloss the line comes from a john Wayne movie were he his the leader of Calvary,
@andrewklahold2880 I think I remember that one. 😁
Ride em' Cowboy . . Cowboy Oh Man - - - - - YeeeHaaaaaaa
Only watch a few videos so far but glad that squats253 sent me here
Shackles have threaded pins, clevises don't.
Not sure why, but I never knew that until now. It makes perfect sense.
@lifeafterourloss at least that's what my dad taught me. The Tractor Supply website almost agrees with that if you search clevis or shackle.
clevis!!!
Grandpa approved! 👍
Grandpa is correct on the boomer and clevis.
It didn't matter what it was. I always sided with grandpa just to irritate Dad. 🤣
Have you considered electrolysis?
We did but our tank is a ways away from a power source. Something we will consider in the future. 😊👍
Squatch253 sent me.
Very happy to have you here with us.
My idea worked ?
I think so. We just needed a machine other than Lefty to make it work.
Well...I guess I use slang and proud of it...its a clevis and a boomer...the other terms are for misguided city folk
I love this comment! 👍👍👍
Too bad you can't run it in a creek or A pond of some sort if you had tracks tight would make all the difference
We are hoping for a nice wet snow.
If you had listened to me in the beginning lefty would have been done the
🤣, well we didn't have a tractor to put the tracks on then.
