Caterpillar SIXTY Rebuild Project - Disassembly Part 5 removing #3 and #4 cylinders 

Doing good. The worst part of a restoration is tearing it all down. Putting together a bunch of clean, shiny pieces is always a good reward for the skinned knuckles and rust in your eyes…

You know you’re doing it right when grandpa comes over and doesn’t say a word and just helps.

I wanted to stop by a second time just to leave a comment from the air! So here’s a comment from 38,000 feet!

Always fun when you gotta get out the portable jack! 😂 That's when you know something is *really* stuck! Nice work on the teardown Nathan 🔧🔩 I can understand losing footage due to bad language.. Happen to us all 🤣 Trust me. Looking forward to the next video on the series. Happy wrenching and stay safe 🙂👍

Something you might want to consider when you are having enough trouble to use dirty words is instead of not using the footage is just to mute/edit it out and do a voice over. You will never make me blush using dirty words cause we all have our days and moments. It's a real world and we all get frustrated from time to time. Thanks for bringing us along.

Looking at the main bearing arrangement made me curious if this design was influenced by marine engines of this era. You need an apprentice for all that cleaning. Loving this journey Nathan, Hang in there Sir, thank you.

I was fortunate in that there was no rust on the rods, caps or rod bolts on mine, they came free rather easily. I never removed the water pump from mine. With tightening the packing nuts it held water to a slow drip, which I thought was amazing for a machine which hadn’t run since the forty’s. Did I see a weld bead on the water jacket of #4? The 3 cylinders I had to replace all had vertical welds on them but got lucky with excellent replacements. Keep it up, it’s good entertainment for an old man in the winter. 👍

Great video and glad it got apart as well as it has.looking forward to the next one.

She looks like she needed that "Come to Jesus meeting". 😉👍 A guy kept trespassing on my property one day. I stepped out to talk to him. Him and two younger men, his sons, were hootin' and jivin' as I walked up. I explained to them my wife was sleeping and worked nights and not to snowmachine by my house any more. They puffed up and got a little curt telling me they could do whatever they wanted. I took a strong look at each of them and responded as I begin to puff up... " Well, I can see that nice don't work." As I continue to speak I also continue to puff up and get louder and closer to them. " But I do know that mean nasty an awful always works." By that time I was in there face .... and, I like to say, "I told them what God told Moses." Because there was flying rocks and burning bushes. They NEVER drove through there again.

A mechaninc who dont swear not happening

Awesome work. Can't wait to see the next episode!

Some things stay consistent regardless of location: rust, cussing, and country music.

Could be some fun turning parts machines into something inspired by the Boirault machine. Likely a driveway princess for those snowbound with a penchant for track pressing.

cat d7 3t water pump packing is the same if u have to put new shaft use stainless take lots of tlme to get impeller off they are scarce

3:08 Ouch! I heard that!

Yep for a hot second I thought I heard rick bork in the background and something about a sucking clock or such a matter but I do understand when the profanity reaches an over flow proportion.

Nathan, that tractor needs a 3406 lol

Truly busting Knuckles! Enjoying these videos. 👍

"Beyond Rick Bork": That is REALLY serious. But hey, it's not a real shop environment without cussing and throwing tools. That old CAT is going to sound sweet when you get it all rebuilt. I'm fixing to tear into a Wu Ling one cylinder Chinese diesel. I'm sure there will be cussing and throwing of wrenches 😂

Great stuff

No 4 being white metal and with lots of shims it can probably be resized to clean it up even if the crankpin is ground

Closer to apart !! Can you have the crank turned ??? Or is it scored beyond use ???? Thanks for the update 😀 👍 🙂

Nice Shirt Nathan!!! 6 3/4” jugs any good?

How are ya now Nathan? Greetings from Murder-apolis!

crank isn't junk just how much money your willing to spend same for the cam shaft they can be reground but plan on searching for a shop that will do just one part for you will be the hard part

Rather than lose all the footage to profanity, just cut the audio, and put up captions saying "Oh! BOTHER !" OR "Oh, My Ears And Whiskers!" 😂
