Reviving a Parked Dozer After 30 Years: Is It Possible?

TLDRIn this video, we attempt to revive a 30-year-old bulldozer that has been parked since 2002. Join us as we unlock the machine, check the oil and battery, and try to get it started. Will it fire up after all these years?

Key insights

🔑The bulldozer has been parked and untouched since 2002.

🔋We check the battery and make sure it's not locked.

🛠️We encounter some rusty locks and need to use PB Blaster to loosen them.

🌡️We check the coolant levels and find a sight glass for the hydraulic tanks.

⚙️After some preparatory steps, we finally try to start the bulldozer and see if it runs.

Q&A

How long has the bulldozer been parked?

The bulldozer has been parked since 2002, so it has been untouched for nearly 30 years.

What steps are taken to revive the bulldozer?

We first unlock the machine and check the battery. Then, we use PB Blaster to loosen rusty locks. After that, we check the coolant levels and prepare the bulldozer for starting.

Does the bulldozer start after being parked for so long?

You'll have to watch the video to find out! Join us as we attempt to start the bulldozer and see if it fires up after all these years of sitting idle.

What is the purpose of the PB Blaster?

PB Blaster is used to loosen rusty locks on the bulldozer. It helps to lubricate and free up any stuck components, making them easier to open or manipulate.

What is the sight glass for on the bulldozer?

The sight glass is used to check the coolant levels in the radiator. It allows us to visually inspect the coolant to ensure it is at the proper level and in good condition.
