I'm on my third week. I got hired without experience but every inch of me wanting to learn. Worked a couple oil leaks, full service on a transmission, hydraulic drain and filter change, differential service, welding, shoveling, greasing some plants in the pit, addressed a hydraulic leak in a skid steer....I love it all!! Its not easy work and you gotta pay attention. Confidence is a must. Knowing that i could some day be punching jobs out myself for the company is what really interests me. They are teaching me which reflects my pay but i do not care. It will all be worth it. These machines we work on are incredibly important. Some of the materials couldn't exist without them or the crew. I'm proud of who i work for and what i do.

That’s a lot of fuc%in parts to have to remember how each and every peace goes back together.mad respect

A day in the life of a hard working American. Love it!

Admire you in 1000 ways!!.. I have been n automotive shop owner many years, what you do and your pride in workmanship is Purely what America was Built on!

Hey deere equipment technician here man it was really cool to see that cylinder bench and hone. You CAT guys get all the cool tools.

You're an absolute workhorse brother. Definitely top tier of the dying breed.

Hey man, Ohio cat employee here. This is awesome, haven't seen too many like us able to put together a video like this. Awesome job, keep it up and stay safe. And remember, safely home, everyone, everyday!!

Love this video! The mechanic work and the electrical work portions. More of both would be wonderful!

Im a Natural Gas Generator Technician up in ND always out in the field 24/7 for 2 weeks on and 1 week off. Love seeing the videos of your guys shop and shop life. Love the videos man keep it up 👍

Cool job. I bet each day is just a little different. Thanks for the video, and I'll be watching more!

Weird name for a veterinarian but okay

I have done side jobs my whole career …. Keep it up my friend … good to see people who don’t mind working and enjoy what they do

Great stuff, both the mechanics and the electrical. Thanks for the video, keep em coming..

I really appreciate you making this video, seeing as how I am a Highschool student who will be attending the Think Big Cat program this fall after I graduate, it’s cool getting a little bit of a glimpse of what I’ll be getting into.

Extraordinary skills, thanks for doing this Christian

You’re the man bro, keep up all the awesomeness!

Thanks for the video man. Super interesting. You’re a skilled tradesman.

Watching this ish on break bro! Keep the content coming! I'll be watching.

I love how immaculate you keep your tool chest (at beginning of video). I am the same way. Attention to detail leads to a great career with no limits on success! Funny how I bought the same Milwaukee headlamp last weekend! A great quality, lightweight lamp at a nice price! Excellent video......thanks for giving us insight into your work!

Showing up FROM Texas San Antonio keep up the good work

Hard working man! Keep it up dude

Hey, great video. I worked at the Cat dealer in Miami (Kelly Tractor) for 35 years and have since retired. I did mainly hydraulics- all the transmissions that came in, hyd pumps, converters and valves. I loved the job and it looks like you love it too. Keep up the good work and the good videos.

Thats an amazing looking workshop. Clean and high ceilings. Great work

Loving your channel, keep up the great work.

Nice job on the electrical I can see you've done it before. Also liked the clean and organized shop it sure makes things go a lot smoother.

Great video Christian!!! Keep it up brotha!

I enjoyed the video and you explain things well. I love learning about things I would never have a reason to get my hands on!

I seen your other video about your box .your truly a hard working American and professional. Your work should only look at you with pride. Great video and hope for your best future.

Ben I worked in a cat dealership for 15 yrs. in Atlanta I started in the main shop as a tech. And worked my way up to the rebuild shop or some places called it a spec shop . I started off doing engines and then moved to transmission and gears . The shop pulled them out sent them to us and we rebuilt them then put them on the dyno and sent them back to the shop. Best job I ever had .......

Great stuff chap ..brilliant review

Love the video man , I’m currently a grunt but when I get out would love to become a heavy equipment technician 👍🏼

That’s really cool to see all those HUGE components ! Definitely would like to see more

nice video man super nice to watch things like this. keep up the good work!

There's just something about seeing neatly organized Romex. Nice job.

People complaint about the internet, but this it is one of the good things that the web can provide, KNOWLEDGE!

Awesome and inspiring experience looking at your video my a Diesel fitting Training Assistant.....watching your video makes me wanna go back to the field and do some real tear down work

Hell yeah this some great footage loving it man!

Cool videos man, please keep them coming!

Nice video man. Always hustling.

New subscriber here, I love these real channels, great job looking forward to more videos

Great video. Interesting work. I'm an aircraft mechanic and love seeing what other mechanics do.

This showed up on my newsfeed , great work 👌👌

I am a retired GC. I commend your uncle on the clean electrical rough in you shown. Very nice work.

Awesome stuff man. Thanks for all the info. I bet people that have your job have a crazy grip strength from all those big ass parts.

Thanks for the video. Interesting work.

That’s awesome, good work on that truck. From the look at that bed side I’m not surprised that maintenance isnt on the top of there list.

Definitely enjoyed this keep them coming

New Generator mechanic here former heavy truck and heavy equipment mechanic For 10+ years. My boss is a former Cat Gen Master tech. We work on quite a few cats, great engines for generators! Awesome video! Rare to get any inside footage inside a dealer like this. Seems like Cat is especially secretive. Keep up the good work. Looks like your a multi-talented guy! With your electrician experience you would be a highly desirable Generator Mechanic! If your ever interested in trying a different career path, I would highly recommend it. I really enjoy it! I was a mobile heavy truck mechanic for almost 5 years and was in a shop the rest of my career. Being a generator mechanic pretty much means your 100% mobile. It’s pretty awesome being out on your own fixing stuff. More maintenance then repairs usually. Pretty easy job and great pay. On pare with what you guys make or better. Plus it’s easier.

There goes KZfaq again recommending the best videos! Awesome video keep them coming cause you just got a new sub👍🏼

From one diesel guy to another, huge props 👌

Good video! Enjoyed it, would watch more!

Im mostly backyard mechanic and an under rated lube tech i wish i could be this clean and precise when im working im always fucking shit up especially working in the rust belt. I always get the job done though

This is so nice. Keep it coming!

I'm a field mechanic for a Volvo dealership in Michigan. Nice to see a cat guys perspective of some of what you guys work on.

Another great upload!

Great video my friend keep up the great work of getting the equipment fixed thanks friend

Great video! Perfectionist!!! Well Done!!!

Awesome video brother! Well put together. Motivated to be a cat technician

Great vid man, I work in mines in Australia, little tip with the electrical side. When you are twisting cables into bp's or any terminals try to make sure the cable doesn't get twisted and is only twisted at the exposed copper. Apart from that man, love your work, from down under!

Very informative really enjoyed it!!! Keep it up! Hope to see more 👍💪🤘

Nice & simple stuff here.. good to see something different on KZfaq... was all very interesting. I see a lot of potential with this channel... gives off a Andrew Camarata vibe too it. Got my subscription.

Cool videos !!! Keep Them Coming

Cool video. Keep getting after it 👍

Thats awesome to get to watch you guys are the difference between a good dealer and a great dealer. I'm not sure if CAT does this or not but I've noticed with some of the newer sales personal they are really knowledgeable on the tech of the machines but it seems they would benefit from some lessons from the mechanics going over the mechanical side of each category of equipment. It goes a long way with a buyer to feel like they are working with someone that actually has some time invested into understanding a particular machine.

Working on a 745 rebuilding all final drives and differentials have another coming once that's down finished first one at the end of 2020 keep it up

Currently at UTI for diesel and heavy equiptment and am loving it so far, got about another 5 months to go and am looking to be a Cat mechanic or similar maybe deere, Ive always been into big equiptment ever since I was a kid

Morale of the story is change your fluids

I used to rebuild Caterpillar components myself. That's awesome stuff man.

Electrician and mechanics two beings that come together to have kickass salaries for trades

Training Manager out of Kentucky (Boyd CAT) very well put together and informational video for many candidates looking to further their career in our field! Hope that your marketing team there at Fabick has put something together similar!

Great video sir! Very informative

I had to re-pack a lift cylinder off a VOLVO L220H but without a crane and without a cylinder bench. I wasn't even aware those cylinder benches and honing devices even existed. Been at a Volvo Dealership in Texas for the last 2 years. It would be cool to work on CAT later on in the future.

Christian (or Chris), my neighbor is the Service Manager for the Cat dealer in Boise. He seems to stay very busy so that means there is plenty of service work going on. Great video.

Bad ass video man. Welder/Fabricator but love watching videos like this, will probably be joining millwrights in the future. Subscribed 💪🏼

A very busy young man, good work.

Great work man!

I enjoyed every minute of your video‼️👍👍🚜. Vinny 🇺🇸

Great video! Would be cool to see more action shots like a video of you putting that cylinder back together would be interesting for sure!

Lets see some more repair updates and videos. Nothing better than the feeling of fixing something and making it right again!

yes, I would like to see more. I recently purchase a dozer and going to need a few tips along the way to keep maintenance at a low cost.

Always like your videos. Be careful with the service letters. I also work at a Cat dealer and know they are confidential. Subscribed and waiting on your next video!

Good video kid.... Your going to be successful many years from now

Looks fun working in a shop environment I've been a marine industrial mechanic for 15 years now I work on a rotating shift 12hrs a day for 14 days most of the time sometimes it's 21 or 28 days but you eventually get 7 days off I work on cranes winches diesel engines pump rebuilds valves threaded pipe install or replace we also do electric motor & gearbox replace it's seems alot nicer in field work but I only worked in shop 3 months total & did not like at all we often call CAT out as we have upgraded to newer engines & not many of us are experienced with them but they seem nice

loved what you do keep it up

The cylinder machine is badass wish our shop had one lol. I have some experience with some smaller cat stuff but I can say that between sis, ET, and their parts department they really have their shit together compared to other equipment companies.

Pretty cool man, keep on making videos.

Holy crap the size of those clutch packs and gear sets for that trans is crazy! I'm used to 4l60e parts haha

Just been working on smaller engines and doing some easy engine swaps here, watching this kind of work makes me wish I did that rather than messing with small parts lol good content buddy!

Man that Milwaukee headlamp really is amazing, I literally use it all day every day. I had to buy a second one beware, the plastic hinge for the battery broke on mine after a year because I was swapping in fresh batteries from my external charger as I use it all the time. I just duct taped the bad one and charge them both in the headlamp now

Damn, nice electrical work! And that’s from an IBEW inside wireman!

great video man, more videos please, liked and subscribed

Transmission rebuilds are about as complicated as it gets. Congrats on getting to the the final frontier!

I'm an aircraft mechanic and I use a Fenix HM65R rechargeable headlamp. If your headlamp ever fails I recommend the Fenix. Extremely bright and the charge lasts forever

Hey man nice video! Just some more information on those articulated trucks if you don’t already know, I work in F/S for CAT in Arizona and I’ve done a bunch of these transmissions in 735, 740 & 745 B’s & C’s for transmission problems... slipping or clutch fill calibrations. Don’t forget your service letters on these transmissions they are a know problem over here everything the ones that have be reworked are starting to fail in the same way all over again. Hopefully CAT will get these figures out and fixed for good.

Love the ocd on the house wiring

Awesome stuff bro

Nice work. Well done

Very cool video. You’ve earned a subscriber 👍

What a true professional !

I really enjoy the part explaining how hydraulic works. I recently have an intrest in that. I actually would like to build some tools for my future metal/woodshop. Could you point me in direction to a good book/video/ online training or where i could learn more on hydraulics. Thankyou and God bless you and your family
