Kubota B7100 Tractor Repair Part 2- Fixing Seized Brakes, Replacing Broken Dozer Frame Bolts.

Marty T 2024-02-21 | I bought this Kubota 4wd diesel tractor a few months ago as a non runner.
The previous owner had left it out in the rain without a cover over the exhaust, rain water entered the engine and it hydro-locked when he turned it over.
In the previous video I got the engine running, but It has had a hard life and is quite worn out.
In this episode I will fix the seized brake lever, replace all missing frame bolts and improve the exhaust so it can't let rain water into the engine.

I cut it halfway through with the chainsaw, it was leaning the wrong way so I gave it a little nudge with the mighty Hough 30

Fixing the Salvaged Swamp Tractor and running it on Recycled Cooking Oil instead of Diesel

Marty T 2023-05-21 | I rescued this Abandoned International B414 Tractor a few weeks ago. It had been left beside a swamp for 20+ years so is very rusty, the rims are nearly at the point of collapsing.
A local farmer saw the video and told me about a non-running B250 with compatible rims, so I can make one good tractor out of the two.
I was curious to see if it will run on used cooking oil so set up a second fuel tank and plumbed it to the fuel system...

Restoring a rare WW2 Airborne Dozer.. Hasnt run for 45 Years

Marty T 2023-03-31 | The Clark air Crawler model CA-1 was a small airborne bulldozer designed for improvement of runways in World War II by the United States Armed Forces.

In 1942, the United States military created a new engineering unit that would be extremely mobile; this could only be done with light equipment. The military began looking for a new bulldozer small and light enough to be flown in the Douglas C-47 and the Waco CG-4A. When the parameters were set, the military looked for a company to create such a machine.
They were to draw inspiration from the US Forestry Service's "trail tractor" (a small tractor for use in small clearings and fields within the forest).

In 1942, the Clark Machine Company took the contract. Clark initially built 14 operational dozers and conducted extensive tests at their facilities. Once proven, the military ordered 800 more and eventually extended that figure. The War Department worked with Clark Machine over the course of the years 1942 and 1943 ordering many CA-1s by the end of World War 2. It is estimated that there were more than 2,500 produced.

The Tractor was flown in by either a C-46 or C-47 or transported by a glider, which landed on an unimproved runway or a possible runway. Once dropped off, the engineers used the tractors to construct a paved or improved landing strip. The CA-1 would be used predominantly to tow graders and pan scrapers. This style of construction was fast and relatively efficient which gave the United States a reasonable strategic advantage in the Pacific campaign of World War 2 due to the island hopping tactic that required many new airfields. After the war a new community of people eager to restore these small and light tractor emerged. More than 1,500 CA-1s were used by the US Army.

Fixing an old Tractor mower and turning it into a Hedge Trimmer

Marty T 2023-02-20 | Don't try this at home kids..
I was given this old tractor pto powered orchard mower by a kind gentleman who no longer had a use for it. I don't really need a mower but my 6km driveway is overgrown with trees, so I mounted the mower on the hough 30 forks and turned it into a hedge trimmer.
