15 GALLONS of Junk in the Belly of the BEAST...WHAT!?! ~ 1950s Caterpillar TraxCavator ~ Part 7

Being able to finally WASH this old beast is AWESOME!

It's been neglected for DECADES, and it deserves to be cleaned up & treated right!
I intend to do just that!

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.

OLD RED Needs:
ALL New hydraulic hoses, Both track chains, Both upper track rollers, Front idler pins & bushings, All new final drive bearings & seals, Both Track tension adjusters, The head gasket, All new belts, All new fluids, Bucket shanks & teeth, New seat, Custom built ROPS / FOPS to stay safe when pushing trees over!

The parts machine just didn't have it all! I'm sure I'm missing some things, but you get the picture, and I want to get this machine up and going PROPERLY, and it will make for some GREAT content!!

So if you'd be interested in helping out, please leave me a comment letting me know, or send me an email at salvageworkshop@gmail.com, I truly appreciate it!

In this video we will:
- Remove the Belly Pan, Hood, Side Engine Covers, Seat, Floor Panels, Diesel Air Cleaner, Battery Tray & Door
- Pressure wash the Old Beast
- Blow it dry with a Backpack Blower
- Take a look at the issues this old Track Loader has

- Take a look at the Fuel Filters
- Make a gasket for the Pony Motor Clutch Assembly Cover

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!
