Vintage Bulldozer forgotten for a decade.. Will it start?? 

Watched one of these "will it start?" videos from the US. The yank never shut up with his loud voice. Kiwis and Aussies are such a refreshing change.

Ahh the subtle sounds of metal tracks.. wonderful old machine

Love your channel man you are very intelligent and know what your doing. Glad to see these antique heavy duty machines come back to life. It's crazy how good condition most of them are and how everything still functions for the most part. Cars and trucks of the same age require so much more.

I just love this guy... these have to be the most relaxing videos on RU-vid! I can't wait to see what he pulls out of the woods or a barn next!

You had me at Vintage Bulldozer! Yep, I'll buy it. Those things are awesome. I have no use for one, but I would get a load of dirt deliverd and play on it. This is what men do for enjoyment!!!!

Also love your dedication of greasing, most people well and truly overlook it or cant be bothered

Sweet little dozer. It's great to see some old machinery given life and a job again. Thanx for sharing Marty!

I am glad to see that there people prepared to put time, money, and energy into giving new life to old machinery.

I NOTICE THAT A LOT OF THE MACHINES YOU FIND THAT ARE NOT RUNNING IS DUE TO NEGLECT OF THE PREVIOUS OWNERS. I WAS ALWAYS TOLD THAT IF YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR STUFF, YOUR STUFF WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU. ANOTHER MARTY SPECIAL! 🌞✌️👍

Man, I just love vintage "will it start" videos. You captured my subscription with the Excavator. Thanks for the videos.

Always great to watch and everything he attempts is always done at the best ability 🇮🇪.

Give this man any engine.. no matter how old.. he is going to run it perfect.. 👌👌

Lovley, those old machines really are built so well and so straightforward to maintain. I bet you get years of work and satisfaction from owning it, for the price of a weeks hire of a new one.

This is great for watching n relaxing. Your approach, execution and attitude is so relaxing and comforting. Nice work Marty👍

I enjoy your calmness.

You make it look easy Getting it going And getting it home Fun to watch

I`d say that sweet old girl was tired of being a Barn Princess; started right up & wanted a ride to her new home !

Enjoyed it. Thanks for taking me along.

Beautiful scenery on the way to pick up the dozer... you live in a beautiful country...and you got the dozer home.....looking forward to seeing what you do with it

I can tell that you really enjoy what you do. By sharing your adventures with us, joy is brought to many thousands more. Thank you very much for sharing. The only thing that could be better would be if I lived next door and you would ring us up and say, come on mate, let’s go pick up an abandoned...........

I am always amazed at what you accomplish with some of this old, abandoned equipment. Thanks for the video.

Another good one Mate , lets see More of that little Dozer ! Loyal fan in Nashville , Tennessee

I enjoy watching you bring these old treasures back to life after sitting idle for a long time ! Great Work ! Keep doing your RU-vid videos .

I am from Germany, -so I got the automatic Translation put on if the sound got too difficult to catch... Every time a motor starts or machine is running, it quotes : *"Applause"* or *"Music"* . Which is exactly mho 😂😂😂. Nice little Dozer. I’d call her Doozie😏🤓

You would find a gold mine here in America. These old machines are sitting everywhere.

So is the begining of your constrution company you have a digger and a dozer lol. Nice find i am sure we will see more of the dozer.

Well done for finding and saving another piece of our industrial heritage...

Brilliant - love to see how you fix her up in the coming months. Lovely little machine that. Best wishes Andy - West Sussex England

The Mustie1 of New Zealand! Great wee dozer! Cheers for another great piece of (local!) content!

Another great video, Marty 👍. To the commenters who are worried about the tracks squeaking. This tractor is from before sealed and lubricated track chains were invented, so the pins and bushes run ‘dry’. When you can’t hear them squeaking, thats a cause for concern because that means mud, clay or rock dust has gotten in and is creating excessive wear.

The best I've seen so far has to be the Hitachi Excavator in the forest. I am impressed. Good find and better yet, the work to get her running, walked out and the rebuild on the pins and getting it to 80% functioning. Good on ya... all the way from California's High Desert, USA! GOOD JOB!

Awesome! Be perfect for mountain jeep trails. Great video.

The title states "will it start"? Certain to start once Marty has his hands on it- best wishes from retired digger driver in Sheffield UK

Excellent find ! Antique Iron, you've got to just love it.

A pleasure as always... 👍

Marty T, cleaning up New Zealand one forgotten piece of heavy equipment at a time.

Marty you are really good at what your do cause you could have a machine that's been sitting for decades and be like" alright today we are gonna get this 1926 ford model t running its been sitting for 40 years but i have faith"

Congratulations with your new bulldozer, looking amazing. Thank you for sharing your amazing story. God bless you and your family

Awesome, Would love to see a Video showing us all of your Old Machinery you've collected and brought back to life

Haha that thing sounds like a tank from ww2 when it moves with all the squeaks

Always fun to watch you and these old machines. Thanks for letting us take a look.

I love watching you rescue "vintage" machines. You do a great job. Sounds like it needs to be lubed. 🤔 lol

Great find and good luck with your restoration...know you can do it mate, patience, persistence and can do attitude.

My Uncle used to own 'baby' dozer back in the 80's. I was designed to air dropped onto Pacific islands during WWII. All I remember of it is that it was built in 1944 . That thing was really cool

Great stuff Marty T! That old Austin sounded sweet even without a muffler. Thought you were going to go right through the shed there for a moment! Keep up the good work, really enjoy this type of content.

Another great find and rescue hope all go,s well with the restoration.

Cool machine. I was surprised the carb didn't need to be rebuilt. Thank you for sharing, great video.

I love old machinery, this is great stuff!

You can really find the old classic plant marty . Excellent job , personally I would be in my element finding and bringing the old decent machines back to life . I love a challenge to see them all back to working , clean , well maintained condition . Keep up the excellent work . Nz seems to have a lot of classics around everything from cars, lorries , plant , bikes . Judging from what ive seen on the tube . A restorers dream is nz .

Can’t wait to see more videos of that dozer!

The old 2.1/4 litre Austin engine was just about bulletproof. I had one in an old LD van that had done almost 300K miles and still ran sweet .Oil and filter change every 5k and regular plugs and points service was all it ever needed.

Love this, my father bought and old 1960's mini backhoe like 15 years ago, hydraulic drive tracks and I think it's an 18 hp Onan engine. Still no idea what brand it is. It has a custom weighted blade and no hood lol. As small as it is it's still like 6000 pounds. Every friggin time he used it he blew a hydraulic line. After replacing them all he was able to dig up his well and septic tank for service. This is exactly the kind of shit my father would do until recently. (now he's too old to do this).

Hey Marty, you are building a nice collection of old machines! I enjoy watching you resurrect these old machines

After watching some of your videos, you have acquired some nice equipment for personal use. Although they would not stand up to hard big time use in a construction company, they are certainly good for the home owner, and will last a long time, with good maintenance. I really enjoy your videos, and greatly appreciate you taking the time to make them.

Was worth the trip down. Great little machine!.

Marty T does it again! Well done. Can’t wait to see you put it to good use.

These videos are incredibly satisfying to watch

You are a brave man backing that thing of the trailer.

Yay another rescue and project. We are not forgotten 😁

Love to see these Old machines got to go again well done mate

Great work as always and good to see you had a little help with this one, especially on the camera.

That's a sweet crawler. Reminds me of my brother's Oliver Cletrac.

Nice job Marty. What a great little dozer. Reminds me I need to go thru my Bombardier J 5 before winter starts. Keep the videos coming, really enjoy watching!

The Tractor Gods Still Love You

I love these videos. It’s really neat to see you resurrect these machines from the dead! And the birds singing at the beginning when you started working on the bulldozer are absolutely beautiful. I don’t hear those in Dallas Texas.

Cool brother. That thing is awesome!

Back in the early 90's I was living in Washington state. Several friends had picked up old dozers from the early 50's that the blades only went up and down. They were too heavy to haul around and with those one way blades you could buy them for around $800.00 to $1,000.00 They were real handy to have and most ran good. Several friends dozed off house pads with them and leveled driveways. This film which I enjoyed brought back some good memories, thanks!

This is a good find, will be very useful for earth works. Build a 1 liter capacity fuel tank that you can connect to any dormant engine by connecting a fuel pipe at one end of a suitable tin container and screw cap(with breather) at the other end. Mount this on a 20 by 10 piece of wood and hang it beside the engine to gravity feed into the carburrettor bypassing the dirty tank and fuel lines.

That is a nice little crawler. I look forward to seeing it in future videos.

Nice work Marty, Keep up the videos and thanks for sharing part of your life with us. 👌

My favourite RU-vid channel (well, you and Primitive Technology) Much respect for your skills in reviving old mechanical gems! BTW That's a beautiful part of Aotearoa you're in by the look of it!)

Just loving what your doing to save long forgotten earthmoving equipment. Looking forward to the next installment. Greetings from Woomera, South Australia. 👍👍🇦🇺

Heck yea man great buy look forward to the new Project

Finally equipment with a ownership title. Bravo!

wow, real life Footrot Flats. All you need is the dog. Thumbs up from Aussie.

Just saw the same machine in Petersburgh NY USA, for sale $5000. Well done sir.

Lovely watching

the simple approach ...keeps reminding me of my Grand Dad... your special attention to oil and lub ...he would enjoy....he use to say ...the life of an engine ...is the changing of oil

Another amazing find and recovery. Love this channel

Great little find mate. You never know what you’ll find until you go looking.

Great job of strapping it to the trailer!

Another handy machine added to the collection! Nicely done mate!

Wow, what a great deal ! I wish I could find one like that. Nice little dozer.

Nice find. A fan from Montana

The way that I like to tell if it is a positive or negative ground is: 1 check the size of the battery cable clamps, in the USA the positive is larger than the negative. 2 on a gasoline engine, look for the + and - symbols on the coil. On negative ground, the positive will be toward the switch. The negative will be towards the distributor. If someone installed the coil the wrong way, it is extremely hard to get it started cold, won’t start hot. Usually they say, it will start after I release the starter, if the engine is still rolling over. Good luck from north east Montana in USA. We had an IFYE or International Farm Youth Exchange student from Australia once. His daughter has been back to visit us 3 times I think.

Ahhhhhhhhhh Marty, I thought we would see it in action my friend. 😃

Love your vids mate always something out there to keep you busy

Marty T I started watching your Older videos cause I can'nt find others to watch. Take care.

I wouldn't have the first clue where to begin in getting an old girl like this running....but I'd love to do a project like this with someone who does know what they're doing. What a feeling of satisfaction you must get afterwards....

no bad for a dozer with record 12 years on the dole well done bro!!

That is an awesome contraption!

Fabulous recovery, thanks for sharing

I love it how you do so little, it may be hours, to get a machine running that has sat for so many years.

Collection of toys is growing. I love it! :D Make sure to film the work with their other machines.

rockin' the whistler blackomb sweater...nice

Tool set is awesome. Thanks Reece from Supercheap Auto!

Awesome mate my fav new subscription of 2019 love the content love your tinkering with machines

This must be the deal of the century for sure. Good luck with the machine.

The moment it seemed to get stuck in forward and you were right by the garage. Brilliant !

well that rig started up pretty sweet..tks for sharing..
