Salvage WorkshopJoin me on the JOURNEY as we discover & bring this 1954 Caterpillar No.6 Shovel back to life. Today, we'll take a look at the basics - from checking out the overall condition of the machine to some of the diagnostics to see what it will take to get this old machine up and running.
I am looking for a GREAT name for this machine, so WHAT should we name this beast?
I recently discovered this 60+ year old Caterpillar No 6 Shovel that has been sitting for 15+ years at a farm beautifully parked under a barn! Apparently they parked it one day due to a scare with a tree they were pushing down, and it hasn't moved since!
Grandpa has honored me with the privilege of bring this old beast back to life, & then BACK TO WORK! Join me on the journey as I show you what it TRULY takes to get old machines running again without doing major harm in the process! It takes a little longer to do it this way, but it's ALWAYS worth it!
~
This will be a little different than normal content, because my plan is to create a new video of the progress I make on the old machine as each day passes. We'll see how this goes, but I'd love to know your thoughts on the different content style, and if you are willing to follow along!
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.
Thanks as always for watching and following along with all my crazy adventures here on Salvage Workshop, I TRULY appreciate it!
Please enjoy! I know I did!

#MovingDay #MotorGrader #SalvageWorkshopFREE?!? Gas Powered Air Compressor has MAJOR Problems ~ Can we Bring it BACK from the DEAD!?!?Salvage Workshop2023-09-24 | 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!

#Free #Compressor #SalvageWorkshopCan we SAVE this BROKEN Lathe that was Headed for SCRAP? ~ Will it Ever CUT again? ~ MAJOR Issues!Salvage Workshop2023-09-13 | 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!

#machinist #lathe #SalvageWorkshopDESTROYING? a Milling Machine from the 1960s... Its STUCK Solid! ~ Can we fix it & WILL IT RUN?!?Salvage Workshop2023-09-03 | 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!

#Machinist #MillingMachine #SalvageWorkshopThe OLD Loader wont Stay Running...Im STRUGGLING to figuring it out...Will it EVER run AGAIN?Salvage Workshop2023-08-28 | 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!
We'll dive BACK into the fuel system, but this time with the help of the guys at @AreaDieselService and see if we can get the old Allis Loader BACK into service and running well again!
This old loader is a 1965 Allis Chalmers TL645 Wheel Loader with an Allis Chalmers 3500 turbo charged 6 cylinder diesel engine. 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!

#allischalmers #SalvageWorkshop #SalvageCaveMy brothers & I bought & RESCUED 5 & 1/2 Willys Jeeps! ~ ALSO a MOUNTAIN of parts for 1940s JeepsSalvage Workshop2023-08-06 | Many years ago I met a man who had a BUNCH of old jeeps and I always thought they were awesome, but at that time he wasn't interested in letting them go.
Well today he has finally decided to pass the torch to me, and I'm ECSTATIC to continue to carry it from here forward!
So today we're rescuing 5 full Willys Jeeps ranging from 1946-1955, and a MOUNTAIN of parts, engines, and everything associated with these awesome jeeps!
We also got 1/2 a jeep if you want to count is, so that makes a total of 5 and 1/2 jeeps!
I've always wanted to find one of these amazing machines, and somehow I was able to find 5 and 1/2, ALL in the same location!
Sit back, relax and watch as we bring these old Willys jeeps out of the barn and off the fields, all the way back to Salvage Workshop where we'll give them a NEW life!

#willysjeep #jeep #SalvageWorkshopMilitary Generator Forgotten in a Barn ~ Will it START & Make POWER?!? Its a Single Cylinder DIESELSalvage Workshop2023-07-01 | I found this generator on marketplace, and the guy I bought it from said since he couldn't get it running, then I NEVER would! Let's find out if he's right or not!
This little generator is a Military MEP-016b made by Onan. It is a 3KW generator, and has the ability to EASILY and quickly change from generating 120V single phase power to 208V 3 phase power (as well as a few other options!)
When I got this thing it looked like every mouse in the barn decided to make it their home, and it had more bird seed on it than I've seen in some bird feeders! It was NASTY!
Let's dive in and see whether it's going to be a useful little machine or a PILE of JUNK!

#CabRestoration #SkidSteer #SalvageWorkshopFINALLY Figured out the HARD Starting... Will it FINALLY Run Well? ~ 1995 Gehl 5625sx Skid Loader P5Salvage Workshop2023-05-27 | I think we FINALLY found out why this old skid steer has been so hard to start!

#equipment #skidsteer #salvageworkshopRescuing a $500 Road Grader that was Forgotten in a Field... Was it WORTH it?!?Salvage Workshop2023-05-08 | Well...... I found another Motor Grader to rescue, and I honestly don't know if it was WORTH it or not!?! Do I need another grader? How bad is the DAMAGE? There are SO many unanswered questions, and hopefully we'll get some answers today!
This is a Mid to Late 1950's Allis Chalmers Model D Motor Grader or Road Grader. It appears to be in decent shape for it's age, but someone DESTROYED the back of the machine by smashing it with a set of forks.
Today's plan is to get it out of the field I found it in, and back to the shop so we can evaluate it and give it a FULL inspection to see if it's WORTH putting some time & money into!
The service truck came in REALLY handy rescuing this inoperable machine and getting it safely back to The Salvage Cave!
i hope you'll join me on another Machine Rescue Adventure, and we'll figure out together whether or NOT I should have recused this old grader!
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!

#Rescue #MotorGrader #SalvageWorkshopThe ULTIMATE Rustic Shop! ~ Youll NEVER Believe its the INSIDE of the SAME Shop ~ The Salvage CaveSalvage Workshop2023-04-29 | HAVE you SEEN this whole series?
Now that the MAJOR remodeling is FINALLY done, it's time to turn my attention to making this shop FIT Salvage Workshop!
We are going to create one of the most unique shop work spaces you'll ever see, and the transformation from white walls to rustic is INCREDIBLE!
Just about ALL the materials used throughout the decorations / wall coverings here at at the cave were SALVAGED and repurposed!
I wanted to create a space that fit the channel and an amazing place to work and create content for you moving forward! I think we achieved that goal, but I'd love to know what you think!
As always, I hope you enjoy the video, and I look forward to hearing from you in the comments!

#ShopRescue #TheSalvageCave #SalvageWorkshopOnSiteGoing DEEP into the Diesel Fuel SYSTEM... Can the Pros HELP? ~ 1995 Gehl 5625sx Skid Loader P4Salvage Workshop2023-04-09 | I am not the kind of person that likes to have others do things for me, but sometimes it's best to know when to ask for help! Today I will be doing JUST that!
I have repaired many injection pumps on my own, but I was unsuccessful getting the machine to run properly after all the work I did trying to make it work... so it's time to bring in the professionals!!
Today we're taking the injection pump & injectors from our Perkins 204.25 diesel engine to Area Diesel Service in Carlinville, IL, and they're going to help me figure out what's going on and show me how the PRO's rebuild & tune an injection pump!
If you have a need to have an injection pump rebuild, injectors tested, turbos replaced or rebuilt, or just parts for your diesel project, these are the guys to contact!
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the process the pros go through to rebuild an injection pump and test injectors! After that, we'll get it all put back together and see if the skid steer will FINALLY come back to life!

This is a Denso pump which is very similar to a Bosch VE pump, but these are a BIT more complicated than MANY of the others I have repaired in the past, so I guess we'll see how this goes!

#MagicFuelBox #skidsteer #salvageworkshop @AreaDieselServiceThe OLD Skid Steer SMOKES Like a Chimney!!! Lets Find out WHY! ~ 1995 Gehl 5625sx Skid Loader P2Salvage Workshop2023-03-27 | From the day I rescued this skid steer, the Perkins Diesel engine has run FLAWLESSLY, until now!
For some reason the machine has become really hard starting and has started smoking A LOT. That in turn has cause a loss in power and so I've decided that we need to figure out what's going on before something much worse happens!
So the plan today is to start diagnosing the issue so we can figure out what we need to fix to correct these issues!
Sit back, relax, and enjoy everything we have to do to work our way through the fuel system and try and figure out what is causing this old Gehl to run SO poorly!

#MachineRepair #BrokenMachines #SalvageWorkshopWe FINALLY have HEAT & AC! ~ HVAC & Steel Siding Install ~ Part 9 ~ Rebuilding of The Salvage CaveSalvage Workshop2023-03-14 | HAVE you SEEN this whole series?
Today's plan is to FINALLY finish the BACK of the Salvage Cave! That starts with installing the steel siding along all of the areas where we have exposed building wrap / wood. This is the top edge, the windows, and the spot where the wall fell over when we were rebuilding the building.
Then the window into the bathroom needs to be completely redone and then reinstalled!
Another HUGE thing for the shop is the install of a Mr Cool HVAC 36k Split @MrcoolComfort unit that will finally give us heat AND AC here at the cave! I am PUMPED to finally have a shop with both!
Once that's installed we will clean the dirty siding we installed to make it look a bit better!
I hope you enjoy the video, and I look forward to hearing from you in the comments!
As ALWAYS, Thanks for Watching!

#MovingDay #DeckCrane #SalvageWorkshopMoving Concrete Pads with an OLD Wheel Loader ~ Part 8 ~ Rebuilding of The Salvage CaveSalvage Workshop2023-02-20 | One of the biggest things you need A LOT of when you start getting into the all the large equipment I keep dragging home is: SPACE!
So today's plan is to make more of it out behind The Salvage Cave!
We'll move a couple LARGE concrete pads, dig out a Massive Mulberry stump, and build a large berm with all the left over dirt we dug out from the SWAMP we took care of in the previous video!
As with any project where you use old machines, there is always something to fix or maintain!
Today we use my 1965 Allis Chalmers 645 Articulated Wheel Loader, Gehl 5625sx Skid Steer, and my Clarke Wheel Loader Forklift!

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.

#ShopRestoration #TheSalvageCave #SalvageWorkshopOnSiteI PULLED this Roller from a DUMPSTER!! - Can we SAVE this Forgotten Walk Behind Vibratory roller?Salvage Workshop2023-02-12 | 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.

There is NEVER a dull moment at The Salvage Cave! After removing the trees from the back, it was time to tackle the swamp. The back was a complete mud pit from an underground drain. I took the wheel loader outside to work on fixing the ground. You'll have to watch to see what happens!

#ShopRestoration #TheSalvageCave #SalvageWorkshopOnSiteClearing Dangerous Trees from Behind the New Shop! ~ Part 6 ~ Rebuilding of The Salvage CaveSalvage Workshop2022-11-12 | HAVE you SEEN this whole series?
In order to maximize the space available at The Salvage Cave, I decided to use the outside area behind the building. 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!

#ShopRestoration #TheSalvageCave #SalvageWorkshopOnSiteRescuing 1960s Tractors for USE on a Friends Farm ~ Forgotten in a CROWD of OTHER old TractorsSalvage Workshop2022-10-16 | 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! I know we did!

#HelpingAFriend #TractorRescue #SalvageWorkshopYou WONT Believe this is THE SAME SHOP!!! ~ Part 5 ~ Rebuilding of The Salvage CaveSalvage Workshop2022-10-09 | HAVE you SEEN this whole series?
Siding, plywood, and electrical- oh my! Once the roof was on, it was time to get started on the inside and put up new siding on the front of the building. The former electrical set up was shoddy at best, so it was important to bring it up to code, and make it safe!
We did a TO of work finishing the interior, insulating, and making this shop a usable place once again! The goal was NOT to finish the inside to PERFECT condition, the goal was to make it a clean usable place so the mechanic who WAS using the building could get back to work, so that's what we did!
I didn't have to 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.

The rebuild of the Salvage Cave continues! If you haven't already, be sure to go back and watch the first video in this series. Like most of the projects that I work on, this one ended up snowballing into a little more than just replacing the roof. In the second video, we will continue working on the Cave, which will include slushing the walls of the building with concrete to make it stronger, tearing off the front of the building, and more!

#WorkshopRebuild #TheSalvageCave #SalvageWorkshopOnSiteSaving an Old Road Grader from an EARLY Grave ~ Caterpillar Motor Grader Sat Abandoned for 10+ YearsSalvage Workshop2022-08-26 | It is time to get the third machine that we are rescuing from the old farm! I really want to get this thing back to the Salvage Cave and work on it there, so let's bring it on home!
This machine is a Cat No 12 Motor Grader that was built in 1965. It has been parked in the same spot for a little over 10 years. It quit working one day while the family was using it, and they never got it up and running again. I plan to do some work on it to get it up and running once it's back to my shop.
This machine should be a LOT of fun!

#MovingDay #MotorGrader #SalvageWorkshopBringing HOME the OLD Allis Wheel Loader ~ Day 6 ~ AC Wheel LoaderSalvage Workshop2022-07-31 | It's time to get the AC Wheel Loader home. Before I can safely move the Wheel Loader, I need to do a little service/maintenance on my International Service Truck. Join me as I take a look the truck and set up my Big Rig to bring the Wheel Loader on it's journey BACK to the CAVE!.
~
This old loader is a 1965 Allis Chalmers TL645 Wheel Loader with an Allis Chalmers 3500 turbo charged 6 cylinder diesel engine. 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!

#MovingDay #AllisChalmers #SalvageWorkshopIts MOVING Day! ~ DAY 7 ~ RARE 1954 Cat No.6 Shovel Forgotten in a BarnSalvage Workshop2022-07-24 | The time has finally come to move Big Bad John to its new home: The Salvage Cave! Before I get Big Bad John onto the trailer, I need to convert the trailer hook up on the International Service Truck to a 7 pin style. Once I do that, I'll pull Big Bad John out of the barn for his journey home, which includes loading him on the trailer. I'll give you a sneak peek at the new shop, and I have a couple of updates and plans for Big Bad John and a couple of other machines that have been featured on the channel. Enjoy!
I recently discovered this 60+ year old Caterpillar No 6 Shovel that has been sitting for 15+ years at a farm beautifully parked under a barn! Apparently they parked it one day due to a scare with a tree they were pushing down, and it hasn't moved since!Grandpa has honored me with the privilege of bring this old beast back to life, & then BACK TO WORK!
Join me on the journey as I show you what it TRULY takes to get old machines running again without doing major harm in the process! It takes a little longer to do it this way, but it's ALWAYS worth it!
~
This will be a little different than normal content, because my plan is to create a new video of the progress I make on the old machine as each day passes. We'll see how this goes, but I'd love to know your thoughts on the different content style, and if you are willing to follow along! 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.

Today the plan is to dive DEEP into the fuel system and see why we aren't getting fuel to the injectors!
We'll completely disassemble the 6 cylinder Stanadyne Injection pump, and see what is going on inside of it! This isn't a rebuild, as much as it's a cleaning and inspection of the pump to see if we can get it running without spending any money on it!
Then I'll give you a quick tour of Salvage Workshop, and you can see where it ALL began! A LOT has changed in the shop!

Today's flavor is Articulated Wheel Loader, and it comes in the Butterscotch variety!
This old loader is an Allis Chalmers 645 Wheel Loader with an Allis Chalmers 3500 turbo charged 6 cylinder diesel engine.This machine is probably from the 60's or 70's from what I can tell, but I do not know when it was built at this time.
That's about the extent of what I know about the machine, so let's dive right in and see what it's going to take to get this old beast back up and running once again!

#WheelLoader #AllisChalmers #SalvageWorkshopThe Old CAT Moves DIRT after 15+ YEARS ~ DAY 6 ~ RARE 1954 Cat No.6 Shovel FORGOTTEN in a BARNSalvage Workshop2022-06-04 | Day Six is in the books! Now that the hydraulic hoses are replaced, Big Bad John is ready to dig again! Before I started digging, I worked on a few maintenance items, such as the thermostats and the water temperature gauge. I used the grease pump I found in the garage to grease the zerks. Once these tasks were completed, it was time to see Big Bad John in BEAST mode!
I recently discovered this 60+ year old Caterpillar No 6 Shovel that has been sitting for 15+ years at a farm beautifully parked under a barn! Apparently they parked it one day due to a scare with a tree they were pushing down, and it hasn't moved since!Grandpa has honored me with the privilege of bring this old beast back to life, & then BACK TO WORK!
Join me on the journey as I show you what it TRULY takes to get old machines running again without doing major harm in the process! It takes a little longer to do it this way, but it's ALWAYS worth it!
~
This will be a little different than normal content, because my plan is to create a new video of the progress I make on the old machine as each day passes. We'll see how this goes, but I'd love to know your thoughts on the different content style, and if you are willing to follow along! 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.

#No6Shovel #CaterpillarTrackLoader #SalvageWorkshopTearing the Head off Old Reds Diesel with a CRANE Truck ~ Part 18 ~ 1950s Caterpillar TraxCavatorSalvage Workshop2022-05-01 | 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!

Would 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!

#OldRed #CaterpillarTraxCavator #SalvageWorkshopP.3 Will the FORGOTTEN Skid Steer START? ~ Will it Start? Part 3 ~ Dirty Turkey Part 5Salvage Workshop2022-02-06 | DID you SEE part 1 & 2 of this WILL IT START?
Well, "Dirty Turkey" has been RODE HARD & put away WET! It has fought us the entire WAY! I'm going to give it ONE last attempt to start "Dirty Turkey" the Forgotten Skid Steer BEFORE we think about other options. Do you think it will FINALLY start?
Let's find out together!
This is Part 5 of the "Dirty Turkey" Forgotten Skid Steer series, BUT this is also the Forgotten Skid Steer Will It Start Part 3.
Trying to get this old thing STARTED wasn't easy at all! I had to summon ALL of my backwoods mechanical abilities trying to bring this little beast back to life again! Will that be ENOUGH? I don't know, let's find out together!!
So instead of just cutting out all the UPs and DOWNs throughout this Will It Start, I decided to break it into three parts for your viewing pleasure!
ALL of which are posted NOW, & here are the links for parts 1 & 2:
This machine is a mid 1990's Gehl 4625SX Wheeled Skid Steer with a 4 cyl V2203 DI-E Kubota diesel engine!
When we rescued this machine from it's grave in part 1, Mike called this little skid steer a Dirty Turkey when it was stubborn & wouldn't move for us!
Since then, that name STUCK! 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!

#DirtyTurkey #WILLitStartPart1 #SalvageWorkshopThe FORGOTTEN Skid Steers First wash EVER! ~ Dirty Turkey Part 2Salvage Workshop2022-01-29 | We PULLED this skid steer from the DEATH grip Mother Nature had on it, and now it's FINALLY time to clean it up & see what we have!! The plan today is to give this machine it's FIRST WASH EVER!!
Then we'll get setup to see what it's gonna take to bring this little beast back to life! I have a feeling it's NOT gonna be EASY!
Mother Nature has a pretty strong grip on this old beat up machine! Not to mention it lived a VERY hard LIFE, and probably DIED a difficult death! Either way, let's get it all cleaned up and then we'll figure out what to do next!

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!

#AbandonedSkidSteer #DirtyTurkey #SalvageWorkshopThe old MFr DOESNT wanna DIG.... Lets FIX the Hydraulics!!! ~ Broke Down Backhoe ~ Part 2Salvage Workshop2022-01-23 | 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?

#BrokeDownBackhoe #SalvageWorkshopI found a RARE ALL-Terrain Wheel Loader Forklift! Will it START?! (THIS Machine PUT UP A FIGHT!!!)Salvage Workshop2022-01-15 | 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! I know I did!
