I love watching all the classic equipment being given a new lease on life. So many memories watching those machines hard at work growing up in western PA in the early 60's, it brings me back to my youth. Mom always thought I'd be an equipment operator since there wasn't a construction site anywhere near that I didn't know about. Great job!

Wow...what a classic machine.. Just think, this was state of the art back then. All the millions of miles roads and waterways that came with those machines.

They had some good design features but the boom hoist is absolute garbage

Great video, does the old replacement band contain asbestos ? They did in the old days, not good for your health

I always just set the clutches by feel and then centered the bands up. And lubing pins all adds up. Everything needs it and the more you get slicked up the easier it operates. Good deal, Frank! Blessings

At a pinch could you have turned the old ones, or would that only have given a very temporary respite?

I turned them all when I first got it. You’re supposed to do it before it gets down to the rivets.
