That girl will last forever! Tough as nails! Keep her clean a good operator 10 hours a day/5 days basically forever with prevent maint! love it!
Well the goose chase is nothing but more training that is a good thing and some good humor too 😁👍😎🇺🇸NY
The great thing about that Cat. Is no computer and no smog. Pure mechanical. God bless
And it starts a lot better than most.
Hey Clint, would like to see your paint prep - paint process. Enjoy your channel!
My old boss used to say “ good help isn’t hard to find it’s out of the question “.
The more I watch your channel the more impressed I am withe the quality of your work. Your whole team works well together and with a positive outlook towards the final accomplishment of the goal, regardless of the problems encountered along the way.
Thanks
We have a great team
Kevin is like the shop swiss army knife! :)
shit, i think you were more than kind giving him a second chance after his first incident of installing an oil filter sans rubber, one really has to be distracted or just dont care to overlook that. A a "double rubber" incident is easier to forgive, i did that as a teenager at my first job at a shop and all these years later i still go through my verification process with each and every filter. Almost a dozen quarts of brand new synthetic oil being jettisoned onto the shop floor and catching all the other guy's shit for it can be a great teacher lol
Love the way you referred to it as the “packings “ because that’s the way the old timers I grew up with called seals on a cylinder.
I'm Liking the M814 in the background on your lot.
I binge watch your videos. Keep em coming.
Glad you like them!
You guys do excellent work and I enjoy watching you watch quite a few of your videos so keep up the good work and I’ll keep watching god bless
Like videos like this very entertaining and interesting to learn new things
Thanks
Old cats like that had a hydraulic oil dipstick inside the screw on fill cap. Just like the fuel systems, it’s a dipstick that’s bent over at a 90 and it slides into a slot that’s just wide enough for the stick.
I worked for Napa for 10 years. Their Napa Gold filters are wix . I think someone forgot to put the Oring in the filter or box when they reboxed it. Happy New Year guys. Love the elf costume…lol.
Nobody seems to want to do anything anymore look watching your videos buddy keep it up
Love watching these videos
Sorry for all my comments dying your wonderful video, have got lots of spare NEW O Ring gaskets with my filters. I always keep them in my spare gasket area in shop. I would get like four different types of filter gaskets plus a extra top housing one. Those extra gaskets came in handy for exactly this issue you have with a no show.
Good idea
Always nice to see a piece of caterpillar equipment being cared for caterpillar makes some of the finest heavy equipment out there I used to run a d8 in the 90s and it was a beast of a machine couldn't stop it it was really strong keep up the good work fellows and keep making videos for us to watch 👍
Thanks
Enjoy your site and your posts. I just snagged an old USAF Hyster 10,000 155XL with 2700 hrs. Great shape, needs very little work and like you pointed out on the mil equipment, none of that electronic BS!
Thanks for the posts
We just had one of those we sold
I was a truck mechanic for many years, retired now. I actually never opened up a new filter and the rubber gasket wasn't there. All mechanics should check for a rubber gasket prior to installation and lubricate it, also check that old filter to see that its gasket is there and not still stuck to the filter housing. I agree with letting him go, it's too bad it didn't work out for him.
very reliable machine
🪖
Never seen one in 25 yrs with no element in the separator. Keep up the good work!
Nice job buddy, you’re business s great.
That would be a great farm machine. Clean low hours and easy to repair . No def no computers just a good machine. As far as the filters the first thing I was taught was be sure to remove the old gasket if it is stuck and make sure there is a gasket on the new one. Can't believe the guy did it repeatedly. Every shop needs a "Kevin". Make the day go by faster.
So interesting to see an hydraulic cylinder repacked. You took the mystery out of it.
I’m just here for Kevin’s non sense. Absolutely hilarious
Interesting ... I find him rather annoying
Got a 73’ just like it , good service video thanks for sharing.
Everybody needs an AR mount on their Dozer. 👍
That’s them hillbilly filters Blue Gasket squirting out lol😂😂😂 NAPA No How’s 😂😂
Sweet ole Cat, somebody is going to get a good machine.
I enjoyed that video working on Cat D7F I liked that little 350 you have sitting in the shop l have one just like that one but mine has a bucket . I really like your videos keep them coming. Have a Happy New Year and a safe one.
And she sounds strong 👍😎🇺🇸NY
Wonderfull Job , great video , amazing stuff !!! keep on guys !!!
Thanks
Yep enjoyed this video bro and the light hearted way you guys went about servicing the dozer. Safe travels
Thanks 👍
Good to watch you service this tractor. Enjoy watching this.
I have asked myself way before if working big equipment isn't easier than small equipment.. With big equipment, you use a tool to lift a cylinder as for a little one will lots of times get man handled. The stuff to fix is bigger and doesn't move as easy... torque settings are a lot higher but again its a tool to do it with.... Nice work Clint.... more, more.. yes I like it/lol
There is no reason to not have that gasket on the filter from factory.Once again employees don’t take pride in their work.Can’t even imagine how many people installed filters with out the gasket not being on the filter.Especially do it yourselfers that don’t realize there is supposed to be one there.This was another great video.
Instead of Elf on a shelf You have Elf on a Track...LOL...HAHA..Those old CATS are a Beast. Pushing fools...The first Dozer I operated was a 1957 Allis-Chambers HD-6. It had even more Levers. .LOL..HAHA...My absolute Favorites were the C's and the R's They were all good up until the Pollution shit...Great Video. Whoever ends up with that machine will have a Good Dozer..
Nice keep the videos coming. Love watching y’all boys enjoying working together. Not many people look forward to coming to work these days.
I know there are grease fittings on that machine..... Why didn't you check and service them to ?? The fittings may have to be replaced to if they aren't taking any grease..... I would expect you to that as I do on my own equipment.... An ounce of grease can save you and everyone else money in expensive parts.... Just add another 200 dollars to the price of the equipment when you sell it to recover your cost.... Love all your videos as I do Dirt Perfect.... Dirt Perfect is where I learned about you guys.... Your awesome.... I live in North Carolina and will be out to see you guys in early April.... Hang in there and have a Happy New Year... ..
Ewwwww Kevin has Cat poo poo on his finger 😂😂😂😂 good job guys as always !!
Very Nice old Cat, ran a few of them!
AMAZING!!!!
Love the shop videos of maintenance and overhauling equipment. I like seeing how things work! That's an awesome piece of equipment
still here from dirt perfects channel watching from last year. love watching
Thanks
love the way you guys work together.
Excellent video I enjoy watching this type of thing , I operated one those cat dozers for many years they were tough machines thanks so much for these great videos stay safe .
Thank you for the Walk through.
I’m impressed by everything you bring in to work on. You need to open up a shop here in my area of Pennsylvania. I especially like the military trucks you work on.
I enjoyed watchin you guys destroy the pipe wrenches. I destroyed an old RIgid about 3 weeks ago using a cheater bar on it trying to loosen a huge JIC suction line fitting on a hydraulic pump. Mine pulled the threads but still cool watchin even the bigger shops like yours improvise to get the job done!!
If the filter has been on that long it got to be a good one so pour it out and reinstall. As always very informative video.
Hi between you and Wes nothing can't be fixed, keep on trukin.
Thanks 👍
Great video Clint 🇺🇲
Another great video Clint , Keep them coming.
HELLO from las Vegas Nevada, GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
Thank you
Nice old dozer!
Awww is that a JD350 in the background? MiniMe, lol, I have a 350c loader- great piece of equipment for a property owner.
It is!
Happy New Year Buddy ! From Michigan!
The best one's are Direct injection. There's a guy near me has a D7D from the early 1960s. It's ex military surplus. He Bought it in a packing case.
Happy 2022 to C&C and may you sell everything you have and more. Great watching your videos and hope you keep them coming.
Happy new year ! Every new service you find something new to repair that is interesting to watch.
Awesome video
That would make a great farm dozer
Totally impressive operation, easy to see the reason for your success.
Hello from New Zealand!
This is such a lovely low hour tractor, looks to be a good general contractors type of machine. Would be cool to see it painted back into original Cat yellow with the appropriate "Pac man" decals too.
I like them all. Would be nice to spend some time at the sawmill.
1 wish I had Dime for every hour I put running those rigs. Almost 40 year in my trade as a Heavy equipment operator. Excellent work as Always Clint. Keep it coming. 💯
Thanks
Este é um momento delicado, para os EUA e todo o globo. Agora esses politicos oportunistas e sem pudor poderia ter um pouco mais de sensibilidade, por que se você não ira ajudar, tambem não atrapalhe. Espero que o Sr. Biden obtenha sucesso ao agir com cautéla neste instante delicado.
Lots of wonderful people would just for the name. MERRY CHRISTMAS
Damn good video Clint. Keep them coming. And your guess is as good as mine on those damn filters.
You're right Clint that's a big old nut. The one on the hydraulic ram is pretty good size to. Lol God bless
Dozers rock!!
Wide Load :-) Handy machine :-)
Nice tractor bud!!
Man clint the under carriage is in pretty good shape it looks like
Fantastic on what you and your crew do..I live in sullivan indiana about 2 hrs.west of you..I drove by your buisneses by accident on a country drive from Nashville on way to bloomington last june..found you on CZcams. ..now you have a stalker..lol
Clint ..you have excellent content ,your sharing.. Including this one.This channel is the best for us...Kevin is Kool and quick witted.Pure damn funny really!You have assembled a good team,which sure isnt easy.
Thanks
Good video.
Awesome video Clint, my dad worked for Rozier machines for years. I worked at Ringhaver for a couple years. Brings back old memories.
Yes Napa filters are made by Wix and I personally only use Cat, Wix (Napa), Baldwin, Luberfiner filters. I refuse to use Fram and other cheap filters to just save a buck. I have yet to run into a filter without a gasket yet. I've never seen one of those separator canisters without a filter, generally they're a slightly bigger micron to catch most of the garbage before the secondary filter.
Best part is using the RING part of the spanner shows correct working
Servicing videos like this always interest me, I like seeing that a machine is well cared for and maintained properly.
Re those NAPA filters with missing O Rings,.. just another reason why these should be inspected before installation, now it would be wise to open the box right there at the dealer's counter
or in front of the person delivering them to you, right? ( of course NAPA would like to know this too ) You mentioned that WIX made these filters for NAPA, yes, I heard that too from a
NAPA District Manager, and is why my first choice in filters is WIX then NAPA. Just goes to show ya that nothing's perfect!
The guys at my local Napa store open every filter and inspect the o rings, must be a thing that gets missed often
Wix makes napa filters i think
@@stevenherner298 Yep, as I noted, apparently so.
happy new years c&c equipment.
Thanks
You to
Coffees on!! I'm hanging out for this one ..lol ..Cheers!;-)!
Thank you for being a shop that gets those Military heavy Equipment, the LOW hours on machine. This machine could have been used in Military life for training new guys or gals only. The tracks or so large on traction sprockets, great sign ( wear item) the filter change by them great sign ( it just sat ) no use after filter change so your filter change for me is like getting new life. The seals on tilt cylinder for front blade could only be from sitting rot, seal goes bad from no use. People might look at those Government surplus as junk, you show otherwise. I will say from my experience on a JD 450-C Dozer. This is just a FYI for all watchers of your video series. Someone had done what I call a Alaska overhaul. They spray painted it real good. We had it running and then it would starve for FUEL.
It was the over spray that got on screen just under fuel neck on top of tank. The screen got plugged up with new yellow Paint. All we had to do was clean it good, it FIXED run issues. After 3 changes of fuel pump( what we thought was problem) just FYI, if the equipment is repainted always check those important fuel pressure intake areas for paint over spray. That's my story on engine running ruff, starving for fuel.
If a person doesn't care about the OD colors after you go through those Military rigs. A person is buying a great piece of equipment in my Humble opinion. Wish I lived closer to you, so you could go through my collection of old big iron that I have. You do such a great job of explaining and redoing servicing this equipment with lots of working life in them. Like I said if a person can live with the OD colors. Who cares if it's dark green, as long as it can get the Dirt moved, that for them the most important thing for a person who wants to try and make a few Dollars with there dirt moving company.
Really enjoy watching your videos, you and the crew do a great job, thank you for sharing.
Thanks 👍
Great video
Thanks
looking forward to more, maybe a rare unimog fix up
Very informative. I'm not in the business, but it's always been a passion since I was a little kid. Love your channel.
Thanks
Happy New Year!
Thanks again for the excellent video. All the best to you and the crew at C&C Equip in the up coming new year.
Thanks
You to
I love the elf shirt .hahaha.laughing .
Would love to see some HMMWV service and repair footage. I just got an M-1123 just like the one in the shop.
Good Job ! Nice Video ! Happy new year 👋👋👋 greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Thanks
Great video, happy new year.... Not had any filters without seals here in the UK.... yet.... would be very annoying if it stops a machine going back together while you wait for a replacement!
I haven't got a NAPA filter without rubber yet but have had 2 that were fucked up threads and 5 or 6 CAT fuel filters that split and spray fuel within 10 hours of use
Top meu amigo
Good work fellas,tighten up the left track to match the right one...looking good you guys know your stuff.
Is your helper special, or is he special!!😮
Really love this stuff guys! Quality work and so informative. I learn something (more than one thing on almost all) on every video. Very interested in 5-ton dumps. May have to call soon to get some details. Haven’t owned or operated one but have interstate doing major widening (I-65) and truck bypass around our little town and some an opportunity to make a little money. Contractors begging for drivers but freelance most probable. Keep the videos coming! Good job!
Thanks
