Toby i have to tell you that your content is a saving grace in my home. My son who is autistic watches the 5j1113 videos every night for hours. I bet he has seen them all a dozen times. And when he is done with them all he starts right back over. He loves tractor shows the tractor pulls monster trucks. Your content is calming to him he loves all the little details so thank you

What an awesome find. Yes please, do an episode getting this old beast up and runnin'. It's always nice when someone walks up to you and tells you about a piece of equipment they want to sell off. I've had that happen to me with pinball and arcade games at customers houses and at conventions and shows. Most of them not working in need of to much repairs they don't want pay for. Since I used to have lots of parts in stock I bought them. Fixed them up and turned a nice profit. I love watching Squatch rebuilding these old Cats.

With the continuing videos of the rebuild of 5j 1113 we are still only part way through our restoration of 3j7690. Thank you so much for the detailed explanations! We are in Perth West Oz and have very limited access to the info given in your excellent videos. Currently we have a major dilemma, we broke a plunger in one of the injector pumps and have been unable to obtain a replacement! The pump p/n is 6B5791 and Cat said a replacement was 8M9753 which we were able to source and as the tractor is quite old decided to buy 4 units. Duly installed readied for a start and luckily there was a handy piece of metal plate as the engine took of to max revs and we were able ti close the air intake and stop the engine!! All very exciting and required a few minutes for us to regain our composure, to put it mildly!!! Anyway, upon investigating we found the pump plungers to have the helix in the opposite direction!!I will try and attach a photograph!! Have you any comment as to how we might overcome this? We thought maybe could have an additional helix cit into the same plunger!! Thanks George

I vote for the plan! I like the idea of taking the leftover machines and refurbishing one with the pick of the parts from the "parts" units. Maybe not all of the "top grade" spare components for obvious reasons, but the "50% worn" type stuff that is still very stand up but leave you and Sr the top tier parts to have in your parts store for when you need them. would still end up with a stand up unit that would serve someone happily for many years as long as they do follow the basic maintenance procedures. I've always hated seeing old iron meet its end, but I also know that it isn't feasible to save every single one. but to me this would almost complete the set, if you will, of ol 1113 which is totally rebuilt but left with patina, The Iron Mistress with paint and all the same treatments, and then one that is just basically a good runner but is in its natural state of age and wear. Plus Sr would get a very nice D2 out of the deal! Congratulations on another great find!
