Good work mate, well done, nice clear and concise narration too, others do a lot of unnecessary waffling.

Nice work that is permanently fixed with extra reinforcement . I had a travel motor leak like your machine and it turned out to be the metal face seal. The seals are expensive and difficult to replace. Unfortunately they always get worse and can let dirt into the motor. i am a new subscriber .

Nice work - I can only imagine how quickly the tracks would have got chewed up with the excessive wear and damage to the rollers and track guides. Good to hear the rest of the machine runs well, but considering the lack of maintenance by the previous owner I think we could be seeing this one back in your workshop in future episodes.

I agree with your reasoning. Just fix it for good, and never mess with it again.

First time subscriber. Loved watching. That drill should be in the Smithstonian.

I just bought a 334 G like that one. Enclosed cab. Look forward to seeing more videos of your work on the 334. I plan on doing a light overhaul to it. Great video.
