Repairing an old Wheel Loader (Fiat Allis 645B) 

In my book, yes lol

@@DieselCreek Matt......we have to talk..... your setting an example for all the little creekers out there.... You can't have a tractor that's on the juice..... I don't want the International Tractor League to be investigating you for doping 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

One of my late father in laws favorite terms. "There! That's way more gooder!!!"

Betterer than most. Specially when yer cleenin chimlees....

@@DieselCreek your fronts need air

He needs to put that on a t-shirt with his logo 🤣

My OCD is driving me nuts ;)

I also use "good from afar, but far from good" when working on stuff like this

So, perfectly imperfect

I would love to see one of those machines restored to new condition but that would cost a mint

same here!!

@@shawnmciver3943 Absolutely. I live in the boonies. 10 miles from the nearest parts store who has to order almost everything, so 20 mile round trip to order it (they make you pay in advance!) and 20 mile round trip to pick it up. 60 miles from the nearest big city. Amazon delivers to my house and cheaper. Standard Parts Part No SS598 at Amazon $15.71 + tax - Total $16.97 delivered, local parts store $28.79 + tax - total $31.67 got to drive 20 mile round trip to get it.

I agree

@@Watchyn_Yarwood that is the same situation I'm in except the closest anything is 15 miles one way. Except there is a gas station/convenience store 3 miles away.

What's wrong with Amazon

I was thinking the same thing, I ran loaders in a underground mine and I preferred the lights on the roof over the ones on the fenders

@@jonaugust9336 Yeah half my lights on my 938 were on the fender, when I'm using the bucket I'm like just WHY

Yes agree, I hate head cams!

Allis Chalmers actually made it so you can tighten the cup down on the ball, to make them last longer in the field

I was at CAT heavy equipment and they make there own cables for different application

You need some plexiglass for windows and make sure the heater worked

Matt do you have your bucket seat out of you ranger maybe use a small pickup front seat

I agree with him , longer videos are great.

This is a great tip to get tired old diesels going!

A cleaner version of the fire start...a friend would soak a rag in gasoline and let it suck the fumes(knocked like hell), an old man I knew would use nothing but WD-40 as a start fluid on his Mercedes Benz or VWs.

H I have a 1996 Toyota Hi-ace 2.8l diesel van, when I got it back in 2003 it was a real pain to start in winter and generally the first start of the day. I was well aware of either addiction and obviously used it like others do, out of desperation, but I found that a hair dryer worked in the air intake, on big machines probably a hot air gun would be needed, also I changed the glow plugs (At that time it had done about 280,000kms) The glow plugs didn't make any significant difference, I was then told, when the glow plug light goes off on your dashboard, wait about 10 seconds and you will hear a click upon using that method it helped a lot. But the biggest fix was, just after I brought the van it needed a new battery, not knowing any difference I put your ordinary but good quality battery in I still kept having the problem for maybe 14 years until a mate went to a autostore (Repco) as a huge end of year special sale was on The salesmen asked for the Rego number of my van, as it is a commercial vehicle it needed the proper battery for the average day of stop start driving (I live in rural Western Australia and don't do that as the van is a private vehicle but I don't do many miles a year) He said it needed a 930 cold crank hour battery to let the vehicle operate correctly The non special price? 350$ ouch But thankfully on special for 190$. That solved all my starting problems, never had any issues since Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺

Gasoline is my favorite choice

Ether trained is a silly concept. There’s going to be a reason why you needed ether to start with, and unless you’ve rectified the problem you will need to keep using ether. And it will probably keep getting worse

Same here brother!

Interestingly most of the time, he is just doing a big service. All fluids and all filters changed and miraciously the machines run again. But you also nned to have the knowledge to do such "basics" and obvioulsy other persons lack it and Matt knows, what he is doing: the CAT tracked loader with the issues in the hydraulic valve block was a complete different thing. That was nice heavy machinery surgery.

They were common because Aljon used them to mount their forks and engine puller. They needed a loader that didn't have a Z bar in the way. The loaders were often paired with an Aljon car crusher.

Upppi huh phojipijPooh on

Surely if the piston rings were stuck into their grooves there'd be engine blowback and as you clearly saw there is none.

@@jackking5567 That is a good point to consider. Perhaps this engine is one of the many that require glow plugs as part of their normal cold start procedure and they are not functional. I have not heard Matt nor other commenters mention glow plugs or other pre-heat provision for this engine.

Not fighting very hard, Allis Chalmers never die

@@RJ1999x I can attest to that being a bold faced lie. I have a friend who bought a locked up WD and a replacement motor which was perfectly fine, and then the replacement locked up, finally on the WD45 motor it works but the amount of money he's dumped into the thing made it a moneypit

@@CoalChrome Had nothing to.do with Allis Chalmers. If you locked up a motor, it had no oil

@@RJ1999x no it had oil, and the second engine apparently cracked the block when they were trying to do a first start. all in the summer too

@@CoalChrome Wouldn't have locked up from a cracked block, almost every one of those engines have a crack, it meant nothing because it leaked coolant into coolant.

This

Same for me too in Scotland but gotta love a new diesel creek video

O

Me too!😂

Yup, I'm joining the club!

Never did that, thanks for the idea.

decent idea

how do you crimp them? Just wondering you're method

@@M.TTT. I have a big crimper. But mostly I solder them.

@@M.TTT. I have a decent metal shop , but I've used old pipe , buss detail from panel boxes etc , copper is really fun and easy to work with , play around a bit you'll get it and have fun 👍

Definitely. The planetaries are the main issue.

Why do people so often use double negatives it makes things harder to understand

@@benmac940 WHATEVER...

Button monkey. Ignorance is my main problem, stupid is next. But remembered experience delivers.

@@lawrencewillard6370 😀, remember, “ it”s always easier second time around”

Same here I never knew the name till now though

@@buttonmonkey6845 Been there, often. Then regroup.

I never heard that saying before, but I love it. I have paid my fair share!!😂😂😂😂😂

Good advice.

Yeah, we want to see the wife driving her jeep.

Thanks a lot Tom!! Glad you enjoy the content!

There’s also some AvE influences “here” and there.

come on, that fuel he pulled out seemed to be perfect quality... If you are running waste oil burners that is. Looks still better than the heavy oil large ships burn...

right? i was like "where did he throw that to? ... damn there it is!"
