FREE?!? Gas Powered Air Compressor has MAJOR Problems ~ Can we Bring it BACK from the DEAD!?!? Salvage Workshop 2023-09-24 | NOTHING in life is TRULY free......... I was just driving around minding my OWN business when I see this old BEAT up gas powered air compressor sitting on the side of the road with a FREE sign on it... It only needed EVERYTHING to make it work! No big deal right? WRONG! It was a LOT of work to make this thing do what it was told again!What did i do to deserve all the hard work it would cause me! I didn't abuse this machine, but regardless it decided to come home with me whether I liked it or not! The true cost for this old machine is not defined by dollars, but by something MUCH more VALUABLE....TIME! ...and it wasn't ANYWHERE near FREE!! Kidding aside, I'm truly pumped to have this old compressor, regardless of it's many aliments and problems! I have been needing a portable air compressor that runs on gasoline, and this one FITS the bill!This is / WAS a Hitachi EC 2510E Gas powered Air compressor that is powered by a 5.5 horsepower Honda GX160 gasoline engine. It was missing the gas tank, the pull cord was gone, and it looks as if ALL the oil in the entire machine decided it didn't want to be part of the machine any longer! And that was just what I could tell by LOOKING at it!Join me as we dive into just about EVERY aspect of this old compressor, from the engine not running because of major issues to the compressor pump being pretty much JUNK, to it leaking air from about everywhere it possibly could!Somehow I pushed through all its issues and made an air compressor WORTH owning!I hope you enjoy the process as we fix the laundry list of problems I find along the way!This one should be fun!~Pacific Air Compressors - They sell parts for all major brands of air compressors and have excellent tech support, so if you need ANYTHING related to air compressors, give them a call!

Can we SAVE this BROKEN Lathe that was Headed for SCRAP? ~ Will it Ever CUT again? ~ MAJOR Issues! Salvage Workshop 2023-09-13 | Today's plan is to dig into my 1959 Cincinnati HydraShift Engine Lathe that I rescued a few years back! This lathe was shoved into the back corner of a closed down machine shop and hasn't operated in DECADES. Most likely because its broken!NO ONE knew what was wrong with it, NO ONE tried to figure it out, and NO ONE wanted it.... and at first, that included me! I was told how "hard" these lathes can be to work on and that parts are VERY hard to come by and INCREDIBLY expensive if you CAN find them, so this one was a bit of a gamble!Today I'll show you where this machine was rescued from, and then we'll dive into it's KNOWN problems and hopefully figure out additional issues along the way!First up is cleaning the OLD beast, and WHO knows, MAYBE just MAYBE we've found a diamond in the rough here! Join me, and we'll find out together whether or not I made a good purchase with this Old Engine Lathe! Either way, it should be a good time!Sit Back, Relax, and let me do ALL the heavy lifting as we attempt to save this old lathe from the crusher!~Salvage Workshop Playlists YOU might ENJOY:Rescuing OLD Iron - The Series - Saving Old Machines from being DESTROYED!youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYawuZlnembuBsCjpHuNshvv6xgTj_mJ7Saving & Repairing Old Equipment - youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYawuZlnembv8NPpUqTUOJNzy6V7QJId0Gehl 5625sx Skid Steer FULL Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYawuZlnembt9CQwS9kAolTd7SRzkrY6Q"Old Red" - 1956 Caterpillar 955 Tracxcavator - youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYawuZlnembvbs8xSQBFADHZkvCQIlG01Rescuing OLD Iron The Series - youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYawuZlnembuBsCjpHuNshvv6xgTj_mJ7Restoring & SAVING an OLD Workshop - "The Cave" - youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYawuZlnembvRQCUv513QT3d2EyZpDXb6~Products That I Truly BELIEVE in:BlakLader Workwear - Do you want incredible work pants?

DESTROYING? a Milling Machine from the 1960s... Its STUCK Solid! ~ Can we fix it & WILL IT RUN?!? Salvage Workshop 2023-09-03 | Work finally continues on getting my workshop FULLY outfitted and setup to be able to MAKE, REPAIR, or Fabri-coble ANYTHING I want or need for all my crazy projects!Today we'll work on fixing a VERY important machine in a shop like mine: The Vertical Milling Machine!For those that don't know a Milling machine is a machine tool in which a vertical (or horizontal) cutting tool spins and is used to move a work piece. A milling machine will shave off small sections of the metal until the final product is produced. It is like the little brother to an engine lathe, and can do A LOT of things a lathe can't do, and vise versa!The machine we are working on today is a Gorton MasterMil 1-22 vertical milling machine built in 1969. This machine came from a fleet of these machines that was at a High School at one point. When I got it there were a few problems: The Quill or spinal should go up and down like a drill press does, and that was not happening AT ALL! It's MASSIVELY stuck. This machine is also wired for 440 Volt 3 Phase power, and I've NEVER heard this thing run... I only have 220 Volt 3 phase power in my shop, so hopefully we can switch it over! finally the whole machine is just dirty and needs a good cleaning!This machine is built like a TANK, and is EXTREMELY heavy which is great for a machine like this! Today we'll find out if this thing is a diamond in the rough or just a HUGE oversized paper weight taking up a TON of room in my shop!Let's Dive in and see what we can accomplish on this old machine, and HOPEFULLY by the end we'll have a NEW tool in the arsenal here at Salvage Workshop!Join me, and we'll find out together!~Salvage Workshop Playlists YOU might ENJOY:Saving & Repairing Old Equipment - youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYawuZlnembv8NPpUqTUOJNzy6V7QJId0Gehl 5625sx Skid Steer FULL Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYawuZlnembt9CQwS9kAolTd7SRzkrY6QBig "BAD" John - 1952 Caterpillar No 6 Shovel - youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYawuZlnembuIBfBwmuEEHx_MrtFCtcFz"Old Red" - 1956 Caterpillar 955 Tracxcavator - youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYawuZlnembvbs8xSQBFADHZkvCQIlG01Rescuing OLD Iron The Series - youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYawuZlnembuBsCjpHuNshvv6xgTj_mJ7Restoring & SAVING an OLD Workshop - "The Cave" - youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYawuZlnembvRQCUv513QT3d2EyZpDXb6~Products That I Truly BELIEVE in:BlakLader Workwear - Do you want incredible work pants?

Salvage Workshop 2023-08-28 | So after all the hard work getting the Loader to run properly and actually WORK, I'm having MAJOR problems again!It will not stay running, and I'm pretty sure its a FUEL supply issue, but I don't know for sure!

It has an Allison automatic transmission, and can reach speeds of 21MPH going forward! It is articulated and can make VERY tight turns, making it very nimble in tight places. It weighs about 26000 lbs or so, and it's a PERFECT sized machine for all the random things I do!Join me on this journey as we work together to figure out what it's going to take to get this machine back up and running once again! This will be a daily account of the process showing a bit more of what is takes to properly bring this old beast back to life and make it usable once again!This machine should be a LOT of fun!~Thanks as always for watching and following along with all my crazy adventures here on Salvage Workshop, I TRULY appreciate it!Please enjoy!

I PULLED this Roller from a DUMPSTER!! - Can we SAVE this Forgotten Walk Behind Vibratory roller? Salvage Workshop 2023-02-12 | So I recently found this Ingersoll Rand walk behind vibratory roller in a scrap metal dumpster where it was destined to be melted down, and never to be seen again. Luckily for us, I was able to save it from the crusher! In this video we'll see what it takes to get it running and back into usable condition so we can put it to work!This is an Ingersoll Rand SX-17 Vibratory Roller with a Robin EY20D gasoline engine powering it. From the research I've done it looks like the company Doosan now produces a roller VERY similar to this unit.~If you have any suggestions, questions, or comments, please leave them below!

The goal was to make room for some of the bigger machines that won't fit into the building. The back area was covered in trees, and there were some areas that constantly made the ground like a swamp from an underground drain. These were just a couple of the things that made the outside unusable. Join me as I work on creating more space for all of my projects on Salvage Workshop. I didn't have the opportunity to use the shop for Salvage Workshop until MANY months later, so if you have been enjoying this content, have no fear, this series will continue later when I show you some of the additional upgrades and repairs I have had to complete on the building since I started using it! For now though, the Salvage Cave is ready to be used!I hope you enjoy the video, and I look forward to hearing from you in the comments!As ALWAYS, Thanks for Watching!~This building used to be a car repair shop. The extra space and room has been nice, but before I could use this shop as another workshop for the channel, a LOT of work needed to be done, including a new roof, better lighting, and much more! I have restored a variety of old tools and machines on the channel; now, it's time to restore an old shop. I spent the winter on this construction project, and I hope you'll enjoy following along. Join me on another adventure as I take an old, beat up shop and transform it into The Salvage Cave.~0:00 - Starting the chainsaw0:20 - Beginning the tree work and cutting down trees4:23 - There is a robin outside the shop door5:36 - A dangerous situation6:06 - Bringing out the GEHL8:04 - Sharpening the chain on the STIHL chainsaw8:38 - Putting more fuel into the chainsaw12:15 - Firing the chainsaw back up 12:30 - Maybe not...12:50 - Clogged filter13:50 - Firing the chainsaw back up... again14:10 - Cutting down more trees14:28 - Cutting up the trunk of the tree into logs15:00 - Cutting up more trees20:20 - The back of the Cave23:54 - Fire 26:00 - Starting up the wheel loader to clear out the logs27:46 - Cutting up the trunk to load up the logs34:00 - My buddy driving the GEHL40:48 - Back to the wheel loader43:00 - Loading up the truck ~If you have any suggestions, questions, or comments, please leave them below!

Rescuing 1960s Tractors for USE on a Friends Farm ~ Forgotten in a CROWD of OTHER old Tractors Salvage Workshop 2022-10-16 | I enjoy old machines & tractors, as you may know, and recently, a friend of mine called me to see if I could help him move a couple of tractors that he purchased from an auction back to his farm. He uses these types of machines on his cattle farm. The two machines are from the 1960's; they are two Case 930 tractors. One is propane and one is diesel. They have been sitting in the mud for decades, but that finally changed! We had to do a few repairs to get the tractors onto the trailer, which I'll show in this video.I hope you enjoy!

Tearing the Head off Old Reds Diesel with a CRANE Truck ~ Part 18 ~ 1950s Caterpillar TraxCavator Salvage Workshop 2022-05-01 | Today's plan is to use my "new" Polecat Crane truck / service truck to remove the head off Old Red. Then we can evaluate the diesel engine a bit and replace the head gasket, make a few other gaskets & replace a few seals on the old beast!So when I first started Old Red's diesel engine there was a SMALL leak between the head and the diesel engine block. It wasn't overly alarming, but since we're SO far into the machine at this point, we might as well (M'as'll) go ahead and take care of that issue now! It's not going to magically fix itself!We'll detail the head, check for issues, and while we're in there we'll take the valves apart, clean them, and do a quick lap job on them. Then once everything is back together, we'll finally reinstall the Pony motors starting clutch, the governor for the Cat D315, and the intake manifold!~0:00 - Uncovering Old Red from his SLUMBER1:10 - Removing the diesel fuel injector lines & capping them2:41 - Removing the Valve cover, Decompression linkage, and rockers14:00 - Removing the nuts holding the head onto the diesel engine14:30 - Setting up my Polecat Service truck to remove the Diesel Head16:41 - Removing the Diesel Engine Head from the Caterpillar D31521:04 - Inspecting, cleaning, & disassembling the head23:54 - Making a tool for removing the valve springs25:10 - Removing the valve springs, cleaning them & then lapping the valves30:56 - Reassembling the head34:54 - Preparing the ferrels and gaskets for installation36:33 - New Head gasket and seal installation37:32 - Making a gasket39:36 - Reinstalling the Diesel Engine Head43:14 - Torquing the head onto the Engine Block44:50 - Installing the Rocker assembly & the Decompression linkage48:41 - Making a gasket for the water neck49:45 - Installing the Exhaust Manifold50:56 - Installing the Starting Pony Motor Starting clutch and the Diesel Govenor56:24 - Installing the Diesel Intake Manifold / Pony Motor's Exhaust1:00:53 - Let's talk about ALL of Old Red's PROBLEMS!1:09:53 - Old Red Donates a way to START a BONFIRE1:13:00 - Starting a "Viking" sized bonfire Salvage Workshop Style!!!1:14:00 - Burn BABY Burn!!!~Check out the FULL playlist for the Caterpillar 955 TraxCavator Here:youtube.com/watch?v=2euoM5oaW5A&list=PLYawuZlnembvbs8xSQBFADHZkvCQIlG01Would you be interest in owning an old track link or track pad from Old Red? I am planning to offer them as memorabilia in order to help raise some funds to put toward some of the MAJOR things this old CAT tractor needs. If you'd be interested in helping out and / or Owning a piece of "Old Red", please leave me a comment letting me know, or send me an email at salvageworkshop@gmail.com, I truly appreciate it!Throughout this project we'll pay tribute to it's previous owner Red & those before him that truly knew how to maintain and operate such a cool old machine like this! I'll show you that OLD machines CAN be a LOT of work, EXTREMELY frustrating at times, but once running properly, an INCREDIBLE amount of fun!!I recently discovered this 60+ year old Caterpillar TraxCavator at an old chicken farm, and the owners have honored me with the privilege of bringing it back to life, and then putting it BACK TO WORK!

So this little skid steer will forever be named "DIRTY TURKEY"~It's going to take a LOT to get this thing back to usable condition. and just a quick look at it, I can tell it's going to need Wheels, Tires, a new Seat, all new Lights, probably an entire rebuild on the Engine, and that's what I can tell by just looking at it! Who knows if the engine will even turn over, or the TRUE condition of the Diesel Engine, especially since it's was used for a LONG time without any air filter at ALL!! We also don't know if the Hydraulics are any good, if the Cylinders hold pressure, if it Drives, or if it will make enough Power to do any actual Work!In this series we will go through this machine step by step evaluating it and figuring out what's wrong with it, & what we need to do to bring the old "Dirty Turkey" back to life!I hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed making it! ~Friday Parts.com helped out with some parts for this Kubota V2203 Diesel Engine:Head Gasketfridayparts.com/cylinder-head-gasket-for-kubota-v2203-engineGlow Plugsfridayparts.com/for-kubota-engine-d1503-d1703-d11803-f2803-v1903-v2003-v2203-glow-plug-19077-65513Fuel Shutoff Solenoidfridayparts.com/stop-solenoid-1751es-12a6uc3b1s5-for-gehl-skid-steer-loader-sl4625-4625sx-4625dx-with-kubota-v2203-diesel-engine~0:00 - Recap2:54 - Tearing DOWN the center part of the Barn!3:47 - Replacing Glow Plugs & Fuel Stop Solenoid 5:45 - Replacing the Fuel Injectors7:49 - Doing a Compression Test on this Kubota V2203 Engine17:00 - I've decided to remove the head from the engine20:04 - Inspecting at the Piston Heads & Cylinder Walls23:26 - Inspecting the Head for damage & Evaluating it's condition27:05 - Removing the Valves from the Cylinder Head29:52 - Grinding the Valves and Valve Seats in the Head33:40 - Replacing the broken Exhaust Manifold38:00 - Reinstalling the Valves39:45 - Cleaning the Intake Manifold41:01 - Replacing the Insulation on the Glow Plug Bar41:51 - REDNECK ENGAGE - Backwoods Cylinder Hone Job51:39 - Cleaning the Cylinders and top of the Block51:50 - Looking at the Honed Cylinders53:45 - Replacing the Head Gasket & Reinstalling the Cylinder Head55:47 - Torquing the Head onto the Engine57:12 - Installing the Push rods & Rockers58:22 - Setting the engine to TOP DEAD CENTER or TDC1:00:28 - Adjusting the Valves with the Engine at TDC1:05:41 - Testing Compression After Backwoods Hone Job!1:08:45 - Adjusting the Valves with the Exhaust Open / Intake Open Method1:12:24 - Testing Compression on an engine KNOW to be GOOD!1:14:00 - Final Walk around & thoughts on "Dirty Turkey"1:16:28 - Want to see some UPCOMING Projects?1:26:36 - Which Truck do YOU want to see NEXT?~If you have any suggestions, questions, or comments, please leave them below!

The old MFr DOESNT wanna DIG.... Lets FIX the Hydraulics!!! ~ Broke Down Backhoe ~ Part 2 Salvage Workshop 2022-01-23 | This is my Massey Ferguson 50HX Backhoe Loader that I rescued from the side of a corn field in the first video! This machine has a 4 cylinder Perkins diesel engine that runs BEAUTIFULLY! It's 4wd and it has a manually locked rear differential, so it should be pretty HARD to get stuck... ASSUMING everything is working... But everything is NOT working!From day one with this old backhoe, there were NO hydraulics, and I'm starting to think THAT's the reason it was left abandoned, only to be destined for the SCRAP yard so many years ago!! I think the hydraulic pump is NOT connected to the engine, causing it to not turn and pump fluid, but we need to take a closer look. For many people that would be a SHOW STOPPER, especially with the other engine issues, electrical problems, & tire problems we've already addressed just to rescue this old backhoe!It's time to DIG into the hydraulics and see if we can fix that problem! Then we can figure out what problems we need to address next and TRULY bring this old beast back to life and then put it back to work! Do you think the hydraulic pump is any good? What about the cylinders? Will we blow any hydraulic lines? Or can we make this old beast dig today?Join me and we'll find out!Please enjoy! I know I did!

I found a RARE ALL-Terrain Wheel Loader Forklift! Will it START?! (THIS Machine PUT UP A FIGHT!!!) Salvage Workshop 2022-01-15 | Is it someones HOMEMADE machine? Was it a CUSTOM order by the Military? Did they ONLY make ONE? OR did all of the documentation for this Clark(Michigan) 35 AWS ALL-Terrain Forklift get lost in a fire many decades ago?!? I DON'T KNOW!! If you do, PLEASE let me know! Also if you have any documentation for this machine, I would love to see it, if you would be so kind!! Here's what I do know:This is a late 1960's early 1970's Clark (Michigan) 35 AWS Forklift built on the Michigan 35 AWS Wheel Loader / Shovel rated to lift 5000lbs. It is All Wheel Steer, 4 Wheel Drive, and has a Perkins A4.236 Diesel engine (most likely transplanted, could be wrong). It has air over hydraulic brakes that of course don't work, with an engine powered air compressor and an on board air horn that DOES work & is AWESOME. I'm guessing it's from the 1970's or so (maybe earlier), but I'm not positive on that!This thing is rollin on 24" tires and has ground clearance for DAYS!! Which makes it easy to take this unique forklift just about ANYWHERE, and I have every intention to put that to the TEST!!This revival was DEFINITELY a challenge to say the least, and I'm betting that you'll NEVER guess why I couldn't get this thing to start! It was a new one on me!So sit back, put on your couch mechanic hat, let me know your thoughts in the comments(YES I read them!), & join me as we bring life to this neglected old beast that was DEFINITELY destined for the scrap yard!I promise you'll enjoy the journey, and I appreciate that you've decided to come along!Please enjoy!
