It's TIME to ROLL COAL on OUTTA HERE!
Join me on the journey as we bring "Old Red," my 1956 Caterpillar 955 TraxCavator, back to Salvage Workshop!
Up until now, ALL repairs on this OLD Track Loader have been done in a backwoods barn without power, water, or most of my tools! Despite ALL the obstacles and problems I've run into so far, this old BEAST is ROLLIN outta here under it's OWN power!
It's been a fun journey up until this point, and in THIS video
In this video we will:
- Redneck rig the bad track so it will stay TIGHT
- Properly honor it's previous owner "Red"
- Uncover all the LARGER pieces of the Parts Machine
- Take the OLD Cat for it's first REAL walk in DECADES
- Load it up & Haul it back to Salvage Workshop
- Introduce ALL my dogs to the OLD Cat!
- Show you SOME of the extra parts already at the workshop
- Discuss the Plans for the TraxCavator
- A BIG thank you for the 100K Subscribers & all your support!
- & MORE

If you haven't seen the video where we DISCOVERED this Old Beast, then you should also check that one out as well! You'll be able to see exactly where this old beast has been living for all these years!
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!
Join me as I take you along on my journey through the many ups and downs of this project! I feel honored to be taking on this project, and I truly hope you enjoy the process and progress as we get this OLD CAT to ROAR once again
Please enjoy! I know I did!
