Blown up Bobcat Skid Steer gets new old engine. AGAIN

hey guys and how's it going hey we're going to continue on this early 80s Bobcat skid steer that I bought in a non-running condition I'll give you the quick 60-second rundown on the history where we are and where we're going it uh ended up having a bad engine the engine was a 16 horsepower uh cabota diesel the original engine I found out later was a like a 32 horsepower gas engine somebody converted it over to diesel anyway uh that diesel was no good and I figured it was going to be too small to run it hence we kind of move forward to buying that relic of machine over there that is a Toro ground Master something you would use on a golf uh course to cut grass we on the last video stripped it down and took this engine out of it and all was good as far as moving forward and then we found out that the bolt flange for attaching to the Hydraulics inside the skid steer is different we have this four bolt flange that is on the end of this engine and the Machine has this 5 bolt clange that runs to pump that runs uh the rest of it plus everything else is different motor mounts and everything are are all different so we're going to continue on and try to make that engine fit in this cavity so without further Ado let's have at it so we need to get this which has a universal on it it's like somebody made a plate for it you know did the original adaption to the uh Kabota diesel but we're going to try to make that fit on the back of the other engine so we are going to need to get let's get this flange off of here we'll use this for the bolt pattern that we're going to work with and see how that lines up come off of there without persuasion we got to hit it with a hammer I think it's pinned do you I think it just be kind of wedged in there some grab a chisel yeah it feels like it's it's sleeved going in about about a/ inch or so let's try air chisel on both sides try to walk it out and I ran out of room get to get behind it let hit it with a crow's foot we'll just keep throwing tools at it till it falls apart I don't know why they call this a crow's foot there and we're in yeah had a shoulder on it all right let's go grab that um that other piece and we'll see how well that um lines up to that and so we got to figure out how to get this bolt pattern centered over that and of course not line up are we going to clear we have to be able to um get bolts through it too you know that we don't hit the knuckle on the back side it's going to be close right can we that's going to be a problem too there's not much room where these are with that you joint bolts to get that to bolt through let's um let's unbolt that U joint off of there if that comes off it looks like it's just tapped on those four locations and's see if we could just kind of work with this plate and see how much room we got might have to maybe instead of using those bolts maybe we could use big Allen wrenches Allen bolts what do you think metric or standard I'm going to go with a standard pack first SAE yes I think hopefully they didn't weld that on there I see weld down below here let's grab a a piece of pipe and put it on that yeah popped it back in the viice kind of support it a little bit let's make sure we're in all the way that's gummy man my guess is they probably would have lost tied it in right probably throw a little heat on it definitely looks like loc TI's coming out makes sense all right so I'm going to work on that I'll get those four out of there and we'll get just where we're working with that plate I'll bring you back in a minute there you go so looks like somebody I don't know welded these tabs on there too let's um see what we got for clearance fig this is going to be on the other side is there a way yeah that's the problem like what it's going to be so tight we're not going to be able to get a bolt even if we flipped it over Pretend This is the other side of it we have to be able to get a bolt down through there and be able to have room for the bolt to turn and clear all this apparatus that's up here I mean it's tight you can probably do it let me be better off with something like that how close that is though huh uh let's go see if I have any first of all any bolts that will fit that set up as an allen head so we would need four of them actually think this drawer that that thread looks like it might be finer might be that thread they're going to be too short guys go shopping for something if we have to but yeah let's go with um see if that threads in there and how much clearance that's going to give us I don't know how much more of a up that is allowing us to have yeah that's the only fine thread of one I see yeah too fat wrong diameter h let's go grab the rag joint that came off of this engine somewhere in the Lan of broken toys is the Hub here it is nothing says we have to use that Universal you always probably try and go with something else but what did that bolt to that bolt to that no it didn't that bolted to that on one side yeah then down on the machine there's another one down on there with a key we just need some kind of flexibility between driving that pump in the engine some way to connect it together we just can't yeah you can't uh bolt it solid it would Shake itself to death let me go grab all the pieces we got let's go throw them all up in ADV Banes see if we can figure something out so here's my thoughts let me know if you agree have different opinion so this will be on the other side of this flange this is the side where this gets bolted to but we just need to make it so that the bolts can clear we we can get those bolts on when the universal is in place let's go miss it with like a little bit of paint we'll set that back on there we'll see how it looks for clearance for the bolts if we be able to even do that we still have to center it but this is just trying to give oursel like a rough idea did that work for us yeah kind of all right so if that is on there and we have to be able to twist a bolt it looks like it just makes it we don't have the keepers on it yet though do we no they are okay so it looks like it should be fairly close like we should be able to make it we should be able to make should be the same distance right getting those in there the only thing I think possibly be an issue is that we may have to bolt those four bolts on and then Bolt the universal to it but that's not that bad right that shouldn't make too much of a difference let's go take this and this we'll clean them up clean them up on a wire wheel get all the crap off of them and we'll go over to the lath see maybe we use the lath to kind of get like a center line on them and then we'll try to punch through those make marks and we'll see if we can through bolt them you agree some of you saying no it's all right and we're at the lead let's get this out of the way cuz we're not going to need it and we need to be able to see get this right off there we go we need to be able to Center one side that Chuck open far enough to get the outer edge I don't think so and then the other side get nothing to grab on this one so we could put this in the middle that'll Center that one we just got to figure out way to grab this in here I think I do have a four jaw Chuck I don't think it opens far enough though let me screw around a little bit let me see if I can find to get we just need to get this to spin Center inside there just so everything kind of lines up with each other and we can kind of roll it by hand and get a good look before we mark it actually I think we had to go to a four jaw as long as we can clear the areas as long as we can find an area where the three I think we are going to though yeah that's that's the problem yeah that one that one's off let's give it a give her a good snug let's give her a quick bump yeah no good I got to kind of flip it around anyway cuz you got to be able to get behind it to mark it right so what if we went like that and then support the other side well we need a cone that kind of fits in the middle how about the brake lathe we got that kind of it's either this one or this one should do [Applause] it how about that now we just got to figure out something from the middle of that actually we could probably use that centering tool right maybe can we just put that get a little bit bigger one Flo them around getting close something's going to work this is what we kind of came up with so essentially the center point of this and the center point of this should you brought them together should touch you know the lathe is in halfway decent condition which I believe it is um but you know they can both kind of s got a little bit of wobble in there I think if we get maybe if we like try try to straighten out some of the cones I put a dial indicator on it too right I think if we get everything kind of Center just put a little bit more pressure on it I'm not this you know this is somebody just cut the outside edge of this I'm going by the center hole of it so I'm not worried about this moving up and down I just want this to be perfectly still essentially over the the middle hole of that so I'm going to work on tweaking that I can also look to the five bolt holes that are there right now the spacing looks pretty even I'm going to keep tapping it till this is almost perfectly smooth I might put a dial indicator on it I'll keep giving it love Taps and then we can Mark actually I got to index it first don't I yeah we got to make it so that that hole did I get lucky Center know what I mean that it's going to lay in between where we talked about so we need one there there there and there all right so I'm going to go tweak that actually looks pretty good I got lucky cuz I didn't even look at that there's the hole right there it's looking like it's almost right on it actually I put the cutting tool back on we could use that for our guide get it so that we can kind of again tap it get the light out of the way but so we can get it so it's good that way and I'll keep going back and forth till I get it also this way think these are called centers for the obvious reason what it does looks like they need a bath cleaned up but whatever the size is just go pick one it kind of aligns you find something that just actually that be the right one I'm going to go clean it up on a wire wheel but on the end of that is a little tip hit that uh would leave a mark we're not going to be able to tap it that with a hammer though because if we do we're going to um you know upset this thing so I might do is that just take a paint stick I think I'm going to put a little bit of a a dab on that we you kind of run in it leave a dot in the center then we should be able to take it apart and center punch it let's see how that works let's go try that we'll put a little just little on the tip so to speak got to mark that hopefully it leaves a mark probably should have cleaned up probably could have cleaned up the rust on the inside of those holes first you know other part to if we get even if we get two of them you could throw bolts in it and then drill the other two what I mean if like two of the holes only show up still drill those I do this one that is not going in all the way that's stop right there you go yeah usually you just tap it with a hammer let's um I probably should do too let's just go Mark that outer ring just for a reference just in case we it doesn't work and we want to lay it down on its side and we want to do it I'm going to go around one more time just in case so what we could do is we'll we'll mark right there just in case actually probably just look in the hole right see if there's something there let's go grab a I'll use this not I just want a reference Mark right before we take it apart let's Mark um Senter too we got a DOT there let's go put another line there just so we know where it was index let pop that out of there and hopefully that wasn't all for nothing as I as I smear the crap out of it right do we even see him h [Laughter] I may uh lay this down on that Circle that we got and try it I think I see one there one there very minute I see two I see three there's another one okay and there's the last one okay they're very tiny that's all but that's what we want let's go take a center punch and we we'll we'll punch them they look pretty Center see down inside there hit them light and I came back and hit them hard so there we go got one two three four let's go open them up with a little tiny drill bit first and then we'll work our way up to the size that we need and I think we probably should just go just as snug as whatever that bolt is we we really don't want any any slop in there we don't want the thing you know racking over time [Music] [Music] time [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] about drilling is the way goes small if you go try going for like say whatever we pick this bit the very center of it is very hard to make a start hole so with a smaller bit if you were to look at the tip of that one that is much smaller going across I think they call it the Chisel hence why you go with a smaller one then once you get that Center hole done now the bigger bit doesn't have that issue I'm going to split the difference I'm going to probably go with I know something like that and then we'll get the final size you know it's a good sharp bit when you they come out like that all right let's go for our final size lot times what I do I'll take the bolt and I'll stick it right in the index bring it up here I'll use the index itself get you over there I'm looking this could be the one that's already missing right yeah and I'll I'll use that for the calibration of so this one may do it we may want to go up one size I don't if you even saw that so here's the index I'm just looking using the index hole itself in the bit to kind of uh dictate what size hole I want to try to drill problem when they're bigger got to watch that it doesn't catch too that's as slow as I can get this to go wrong hole it happens do a test run on that with a bolt see if we need to go up one or not or it's just going to be right yeah let's go up one size I I found it was just sitting over there so go up one more that's got it snug could always open up a little bit more if we're off just a hair like it doesn't want all both together but you want to keep it tight once it's loose it's loose grow up there's a preliminary test let's go shove the four bolts in it wind it up to our paint Mark and we'll see if they'll play well together hopefully all right good and then that should be able to bolt to the engine we may have to go a little bit try to find a little bit longer bolt C let's see if we can bolt this whole assembly together we'll put that on we'll we'll put the centerpiece on and uh see how things work got that one bolted back on again this is just a clearance we were looking for like that one should be fine we get a wrench on it this one I think we possibly maybe we're into the weld a little bit let's get rid of that one turn it no we're good let's go check the last one that one should be fine and that one looks like we're probably nip back on that weld a little the grinder and just a hair all right I'm going to go bolt that to the flywheel of our engine that's going in after I clean that up a hair I'll tweet that other one while we're at it knock some of that rust off in there so that Hub I already hit this on the wire wheel so this kind of goes back in a little bit less [Music] fighting [Music] was that get one lined up little bit of oil probably wouldn't hurt neither right let's go give that a a love tap make sure that goes in first probably start two of them huh all right so now should be able to yeah ideally get a little bit better bolt I don't like to I think we're catching probably like on six threads or or so like to get me a little bit more than that see what I got in my stash not that I can't go out to the hardware store but all right so let's go do that let me get that one start I'm going to run around I'll get all those going I'll run them in tight I get three four put a wrench on that one can't get on there with an impact socket I think we can get two of them with a regular socket though get them all I would say that we have a coupler married to an engine that'll fit on that transmission good not saying it's going to work but at least we got the components together that lined up like they should yeah I me try to I could even get like um the Almond head if I'm going to get them a little longer I'm going to look at my stash right now see if I have one that's uh cuz we lost this thickness you know let's go buzz one see if I have one of those just a hair longer friend of I hooked me up with the stash but I don't think we're going to be okay over here because this is metric and I don't think any of this is metric yeah nope not going to Happ it all right so our next step is to try to make a base plate motor mounts so the engine that was in there again was a cabota you know 16 horse unit and nothing really kind of lines up to that base plate I'd have to cut apart and change a bunch of stuff only that would line up is those four holes where it bolted you and it sat on like rubber motor mounts on that plate here I'll show I'll show you make better sense so there's a cradle that it sat on it's actually should be rotated like this the engine sat this direction and you can see the rubber mounts that it was on on the base plate and then they kind of solid fixed it to here this fits the K cabota but it does not fit this engine which I actually think is Mitch bishy I don't think it's cabota people in the comments were uh bringing up that's what I was told when I bought it I'm like yeah sure it's a Kabota anyway um the Cradle does not fit that engine i' would have to lengthen it and width it and the Height's wrong and everything's wrong about it so I think what we should probably do we'll take that motor mount which is one of them and it had a different way of different like rubber support that was on it on the mount so we got that one and the other one is this one for the crossbar so I'm going to unbolt this we'll take this out of here cuz this has the the correct bolt pattern for it and we'll bolt it to the engine maybe we'll try uh shoving it in there with the two mounts on it we just kind of see where we are we don't the other part is too like the engine we don't know up down left right we have to try to zero that in that's going to be the painy ass part cuz you don't want if you had a dry shaft with two Knuckles on it really wouldn't be much of an issue cuz the drive shaft can take the play of it but the fact that it only has one swivel on it the engine can be pitched you know a little Direction One Way or Another but it has to be centered to the center of that so this front's pretty simple you cleared it out got it out of the other machine bolted it up you see it's sitting on the motor mounts this has you know movement to it with the rubber mounts on that and it's got clearance for the uh front pulley in the belt on the back setup they had it set up with a jack shaft going across running the fan that is on it but it was bolted a little differently they had it this right there was bolted to right there and so that that was solid then they had the rubber mounts with this bracket attached to it and attached to the chassis so problem is it's all bolted together I welded together so I think I'm going to go cut this off because just in the possibility that we end up using that whole setup all over again I don't want to trash it just in case we do put the radiator on the front of it and we can't get a fan on the water pump and we want to use the stock set up we still can so I'm going to take a whiz wheel I'm going to try cutting those welds see if this will come apart for us [Music] the weld right there b M's got to come off that's what we need when not that we have to stay with them but now we have four points that are you know rubber supported so the engine especially diesel you do get some shake out of them the hydraulic pump is also mounted on rubber mounts so we supported there there I guess our next option our next part of the deal is to try to get it set up in there and yeah get that lined up on the shaft while we're trying to move it in there you think that's a two-man job or a oneman job so I may need your help let's cut that tie wrap we'll let that hose is supposed to lay down on the belly of it so let's get that out of the way we'll try to hopefully get that together and if we can maybe we'll like block it up with wood and we'll try to find where the happy home is and uh we can you know build some uh standoffs to the base let's try to get it in there and see if there's any other issues we're going to have before we commit or should be committed that's just where that was before not necessarily saying it that's where it needs to stay but let that kind of flop down there this is going to suck I'm going to put some uh Lube on the shaft yes yes I am actually may clean that with a wire wheel first too just so we get it to slide in a little bit better yeah see a bunch of rust and crap on it so make make for a little bit easier assembly [Music] SC [Music] is come got to go up 2 in and in 2 in yeah that's what I said think we got to put a ratchet I didn't get that easy did I I think it's on the shaft let's um drive it in just a hair more it's got preload trying to pull it out might might have came out it did I think the um I'm going to try I'm hitting on top of the machine I don't have much lift on it I'm going to angle the forks differently I'm going to go down with it and angle the forks up it's on there I think I got to choke the chain choke the chain differently let's um let's get a jack underneath here and we'll try to like lift it into place at least on on this side the sh you know we put a little bit of weight on for now it's not going to hurt it um we try to jack it out so we get the engine level and we try to tweak it from there problem is it does that I can't get it any look at it get a Jack in right there hopefully I have something skimy enough to fit in that Gap oh stop it well it's all the way in or so I'm told anyway let's see if we can get this to back I should be able to at least level and support this part of it and I guess you just kind of I maybe yeah work our we out there a little let me um let's just eyeball the back side of that make sure we're staying in can't help myself yeah it backed up about a half inch you see how much room can close that Gap up there let's um I'll run the fork truck in a hair more just kind of preload it a little bit more [Music] forward try back up a hair anyway but for now leave that as a what if we get like should let it down a little um what can we clamp to this cuz you figure this is going to be level going across let me try I'm going to eyeball a level of it and then we maybe we'll let this down and I wish I had one more of those Jacks to put across the back of it that work out good for you know being able to tweak it see how we're doing and that's all the way in now how we looking to make stuff I could probably even I wonder if I could take like a a strap of some sorts I'm looking at the angle of the engine see if I'm kind of straight on with the Trans how would what would be a good way to do that you know what I'm talking about like how this is the transmission this is the engine how do we make sure we got a straight shot the eyeball that coupler doesn't look too bad where it is right now I don't know if maybe maybe we can measure across the base of the crank you know from uh base of the um uh oil pan the top lip from there to the floor from the front to the floor if the Gap stays even yes no all right we're want to try to get the forklift out of here sit on the oil pan let's see if uh we let it down what it does that's pretty I think we can kind of move it around better on that because I need to leave these open anyway so we can fabricate let's get that uh this out let took few minutes and kind of stared at it and triy to come up with an idea I think our best bet I grabbed a level is let's level the machine itself I think it's kind of out of whack right now yeah the ass ends got to come up a here how we left or right left or right so this back corner has to come up a little bit level the machine then maybe we'll throw the level on the engine and we'll start using that to get that level Plum level Square to the transmission and we'll start making mounts instead of us trying to guesstimate where it is is the front's pretty easy to see left or right because you just look down on the lip of it you can see that you got a straight line going across plus there's not there's not much of a concern having you're not going to put much of a preload on it left and right if the engine's off it wants to Center itself but the weight of it right now on the ASN is hanging on that transmission so that's where it's a little bit more particular I'm looking where to kind of make some mounts to I think the engine is sitting up like this the the front's A Little Too Tall and looking at that rear mount I was thinking about making it mounts that came down to the chassis but we got that frame rail sticking out of the side I wonder if we can maybe cut this off when the engine drops down a little bit I wonder if this will be on level with this and we could just weld a bar going straight across to the top this and let it sit on those two shelves and then the front we can cut this off and maybe we can come down right here and we line up with the hole we will come down with a bracket and grab those pre-existing holes for that one all right let me go grab a uh let me go level the machine out and then we'll work on leveling the engine that Jack unfortunately is Too Tall we're going to have to come up with something else besides that it just can't come down low enough it's nice that it's parked on its own leveling system we'll try that we'll walk around each Corner might be able to just tweak it in yeah a little bit of tweaking on them seem like you get it pretty good at least in between the lines both directions let's um probably the oil pan be our best bet let's go see if we get on there trying to find like a straight edge we can lean up against see what we got so I'm not sure if that bubble's coming up but we are I'll turn till it's a level that's a level right there that's how much of a difference we have to drop it down front's got to come down about probably about half to 3/4 of an inch it's too tall and I think what when we do that I'm thinking this bar is going to come down a little bit too we always shim it too like if we were off a little bit we put something across there we could put shims underneath it where we bolt it all right so I got to get that out of there I may go measure something I'll measure this distance maybe we'll try to do it with wood and I got those shims that somebody sent me we can uh tap them into place and get it lined up so I screw around it with it for a little while and I got you know wedges of wood underneath it and a jack in the back and just kind of took my time to get that collar in the back as straight as possible and then the motor you know level and level both directions it seems pretty good right there we're centered I marked out the width of it between there and there that's the middle of the engine looks pretty decent that Jack's not doing anything in the front at the moment but I'm looking at the back and it kind of came in like I thought you see where the level is there I'm looking at that I'm going across the top of this bar it looks like it's going to be a straight shot that maybe we can we'll cut these tabs off right here and we'll weld a bar going across and maybe we could use these tabs over again on these plates so let's get that rear motor mount out of there we'll cut those ends off and we'll see what we can come up with for like a bar to weld to the top of that going across it looks pretty good on that side too and we'll just go from there [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] so I just kind of there was already holes there on each shelf so I fig we just go use those we'll have to drill one more in each bracket but right now we have a bolt in each one so that's what's going across it looks pretty level let's go measure the distance from that one to that one and we'll scr up for a bar that we could weld to this and weld to that and then it will be removable we could take uh two bolts out on each side a bolt here and a bolt there this whole Mount will come right out of the back and do some adjustments that that was slotted up on top so we can kick it a little bit from left to right and if we have to like I talked about shimming it up and down well at least up we could put washers underneath it let's go shopping for a bar actually I got to measure it first huh we call that let's go from the top let's go like 29 and 3/4 off into the land of metal I think like maybe like a a one and a qu or like 1 in square tubing would be a decent inste way from round just use it if we have to it just makes it more difficult speak up if you see something that is that was kind of small it's uh one that's one inch that might bend on us a little see how long it is no and what this stuff angle brackets we'll keep that in mind that looks like 1 by two yeah that's our fall behind or our backup piece of angle that be decent that might be pretty good it's long enough all right so far it's that piece of angle heavy angle remember keep in mind too we got that front to do also let's go um we'll bring that out with us and and anything else I find here's a couple of pieces I sced up we got the angle that we looked at found that 1X two square tubing a piece of c channel it's pretty heavy another piece of heavy SE Channel but not as deep and I'm kind of liking that square tubing and this is a piece that we can maybe we'll use to kind of maybe we like eyeball it see how that'll work for us if we cut that out actually kind of like that and we go we can square it right up and weld then weld to that and right across let's go for that and the other pieces we we can use for the front uh part of it cuz again on that back section you know the load is trying to push down like this where the front is going to be going straight down and a lot of it is the engine twisting it's going to want to twist you break a Mot mount in a car what's it do I think it's it's that side right wants to lift up so under torque it's going to want to lift on this direction and push down on that side 29 and 3/4 did we say I think [Music] so [Music] right so you go wiggle that in there go cleaner side forward we're going to get a tack on it those wires going to screw us up that all right go get the welder and something's trying to make us oh the wire of course the wire's going to screw us up let getting that off of there and we just kind of level that out try to get Space right over the top of that other bar looks decent see any issues look like it's leaning forward just a hair let's go get a a tack two tacks on that bracket two TS on that and then about four maybe going across there and then we take that whole piece right out of there also we got to mark from underneath where the other hole is with a sharpie [Music] [Music] I decided just to kind of weld it up I got a fire going on back there well then [Music] that look there's that guess you didn't get all the crap out of there when we pressure washed it that's the reason why too crap like that oh that GK that's up there anyway where were we uh that should enough for now we should be able to get that rear jack out of there and I'm going to work a little bit more in the front once the weight is on those motor mounts cuz that's where it's going to sit natural and I may go tweak the front just a little bit more to where the uh the shaft in the back is even and straight and true and then we'll make some we'll start chasing these up here right got that Jack out of the way it's still wood with the wedges underneath it holding it looks pretty good in the back the weight is know mostly on the back how much I guess would be there um I'm trying to figure out what our best scenario is these holes right here are not symmetrical to the top it the base plate looks like it was offset these two are right here but um try to figure out like the best I was thinking maybe we'll come with like metal tabs like if we just take like some Square stock maybe something like that we can cut them and come outward and just go straight up or maybe we can go use those two holes maybe we'll make a bar that goes across the bottom something like that and then we can come up on the outer edges I don't know if I want to cut any of this off I'm thinking maybe in the future we still have to do the radiator yet whether it's going to go on the front of the engine here or up top and undecided so I don't want to cut this down yet but maybe uh what's your thoughts how about we do the angle on the bottom and flat bar going [Laughter] up kind of likeing cutting those out I wonder if we just cut those out and also go after we're done just come up with a flat bar and grab maybe that bolt and that bolt on both sides you think option let's go cut two pieces that are roughly that depth that at least come out to here is that can be an issue for us to get it out if we unbolt it I think we should just be able to take the bracket right out of there yeah I cut those two tabs and bolted them up open the bolt holes up for a uh a 716 bolt I'm thinking I was going to go bolt of those but is that really necessary can we just maybe we'll just cut off we kind of split this bracket in half and just weld it right to it what's the what benefit would we get having it so you can bolt it anything really not much right cuz like say we need to go kind of move it around a little bit could always put shims underneath each uh mounting Corner that we got it on and if we have to left or right we can kind of slot it but let's go with that let's go up like I don't know maybe we'll come up to like right here on it on both sides that's more than enough meat my only thing is like this bracket again is flexible because of the mount but if we find it's a little iffy we could always put a piece on an angle on the side to kind of support it a little bit I have a feeling we may not need that though going to go buzz them up we'll knock the wood out [Music] [Applause] had some oil on that one that one a crap yeah that one's great see if we can knock those wedges out of there there we go look like the engine moved it all that's a good sign these were from Germany lud Ludo see your name right I apolog if I'm not hook this up with these wooden shims funny how you don't have something you don't miss it but then you have something you like you know what that's a great idea give me a a box of like just different sizes and shapes of the shims so I say drain plug we got a punch a hole in a little bit to the left this all has to come apart again anyway but uh we're getting close we are now attached you can officially call that the engine is in I like I said I think what I'll do is I'll come in we'll take some angle on the corner here and we'll we'll brace at least one side of it a little bit just to give a little bit more uh rigidity to it I think um do you want to take a jumper pack and hook it to the starter we'll just give it like a a quick crank and make sure make sure everything spins go take a peek back there I don't if I can get you in there or not how our how our shaft on alignment looks pretty straight on yeah it's got some movement because of the universal but and I left the front there I backed it up about 387 in just so it's not rubbing up against the pump so we have a little bit of air room in there all right let's go get a jumper pack and I crank it to the starter I'm thinking maybe to maybe we'll just kind of throw a couple of pieces on there not with the belt but just make stuff caim it's space like the exhaust manifold and maybe the alternator and all and we'll just see what's going to go where I'm thinking the battery can go down in this corner it may have been on the other side before but it's looking a little crowded with all the stuff that's over there and radiator I'm thinking as of right now I'm thinking putting it in in this area in the front of it I was thinking about makeing a swing with the door but that's more trouble than it's worth and I don't think it's really going to be in that much of the way when you're going to do something see if the radiat is probably the width of that bracket and about that high going across you can still access around it they originally they were up top it would be a special one it's like a foot wide by 2 ft long and it would sit going across here I'm also going to order like a low profile electric fan and uh that'll be what you can use to blow the air across I was thinking of you know trying to come off and maybe one of the pulley or something but I think maybe not we may just go with electric fan all right let's go while get a jumper pack but first Shake test have a little bit of movement out of it on the rubber Mount there there and up top and on the trans y good actually when we just hook the fuel lines up that is the Inn should just make it we're put new ones on anyway and this is the return which goes on the end of that let me get them thrown on there we got jumper pack on it and there actually is a possibility it could start I don't want it to at least not yet I just kind of want to see how that coupler goes and if the engine doesn't kind a weird shaking you ready I should not do [Applause] anything I that jumper Pack's got enough oomph to crank it let's go take a look at that coupler see if we can get a light back in there I think we can kind of peek in maybe through that top crack you guys I'll have to look back at the video you'll have a better look than I do looks okay right yeah I don't see anything funky and charge my jumper pack so go for the battery that was in it what can possibly go wrong right we Arc this to the body it's going to go wrong let's go throw that on there let's go through the jump Le again that battery is kind of low plus the other thing too is now we're trying to on the other machine it wasn't spinning the pump and I'm sure the pump is creating some drag but it should be kind of like in like neutral of sorts let me get you looking back at the engine [Applause] huh let's go give that a shot again again I how good that battery is but let's go see if that helps things without any I got nothing got ground hooked up do I not have ground I do not have ground going to the engine yeah cuz I'm just supported by motor mounts I got no jumper going to the block I'll fix that yeah there was a a ground coming off the body but there's nowhere anywhere on this that um this is touching cuz it's all supported by Rubber which is actually good let's us know we don't have anything robbing now I got a jumper going to the block see if we get anything actually the battery's dead make sure I got uh I'm going to play one of our contacts must not be good somewhere is going up and I'm on it have to hit with a test light too there it goes yeah it's right there me yeah throw a wrench on that as we gave a better response yeah she's going to fire too just let it run screw it be loud make sure I got a way to shut the choke air clean intake off back you up a hair should it it it's probably going to run out of fuel but let's just go see The Machine's trying to drive I don't know if one of the levers are in the moving position that's why I had so much drag on it it went to go take off the the wheels started moving I don't know if something's just not in Cal position that's why it has so much dragon on it too that's good at least it once [ __ ] starts up and shoots across the garage let's go pop you back in the stand that may be very entertaining if it does decide to do that takes out the caraga [Music] yeah he trying to drive the machine um don't know why I don't know if it's just they're not sitting in their correct location but I don't want that to be an issue I me take a second I'm going to go Ponder a little bit plus you know it's it's got air in the fuel system system now too So eventually it's just going to burp itself right out and die but straight ahead behind that is the uh painted caraga so that might not be a a great thing too bad these didn't work like a a dino right they can kind of roll on those um wonder if I can get up in the air on jack stands what a mess like a bomb went off all right we should be able to where's the button give crank we also can take a look at the um the wheels is it both sides is just one side they are adjustable are they come in let me make sure we're not going to grind anything see we get okay so that sides crawling a little both sides are crawling a little bit so quite sure what the deal is see if we can see if it'll go it'll run for a [Music] sec run out of battery come on you do [Applause] it get ball K it awesome yeah it's definitely um both sides are creeping forward so I'm not quite sure what's out of balance on it but at least we got it going change the battery good I don't see nothing pissing out of it anywhere that's a good sign pretty happy with how that went nothing's rubbing everything looks like it's clearing pretty good flywheels got plenty of room around it and I think maybe we'll leave put you know this might be a good jumping off point a little bit of success you know we got it um attached and up and running kind of you know everything's just kind of halfhazard together but for the next we can do the figure out how to run the exhaust the intake the you put the alternator on we got to figure out how the wiring is going to go on that and of course the radiator I can't run this very long without the coolant anyway I think the rest of it should be pretty good I also don't know about that creep that it's doing that may go away this has not run in I might guess probably like 10 years or so 5 10 years that it's run so maybe after it warms up it may be okay but if not I'm pretty sure we can flip that seat up and you can adjust where those rods are where neutral is on them so that may be what is going on yeah that just kind of you know fire the valves a little bit forward and back may also help take care of it but I'm happy with it we're getting there we got a all tents and purposes we could really just hop in it and and drive it for 15 seconds but I think we'll leave that for another day so we don't hurt ourselves all right guys with that we're going go sign off thank y' for hanging out with me doing a little bit of modifications to an old crappy skid steer and uh we'll get back to it soon till then I'll see you later all right see if it'll fire up one more time and I'll work those levers a little bit forward and reverse just make sure we got something happening it may not we may not have enough fuel left where's our button that's it oh well I tried I was going to work the BS back and forth and uh see you forward in reverse on the wheels
