‘Saved from the boneyard’ -proceeds to dismantle it

That's a beast! would love to see more vids with this machine!

awesome machine - seems to good to break it down for parts...

There is a 70 series LandCruiser in the background. Has to be pretty rare in the US

Hey Quinton !!!! That motor alone is worth it's weight in Gold as NO ""DEF"" System to worry about breaking down !!!! Nice video & Thanks !!!! 🤔🙂🙃🙄👀👀👀👍👍👍👍👍

Yes yes yes D8 ARE GREAT BUT D10 ARE FANTASTIC !!! Cheers BRIAN

I’ve ran them all in the coal field of Kentucky and Tennessee and by far the R model was of the best of them I ran one 10r that had 90000 hours on it was still a good dozer

Should refurbish that best, something like C&C Equipment do. It got no DEF, goes for big bucks.

I work in East Peoria at CAT from late 77 to early 79. When the D10 was first being built, I was a line inspector on the track link line. The original forging for the track links, had a sharp corner, right behind the shoe pad, and above the bushing bore of the link. After heat treat, that square corner introduced stress in the steel and they started ripping links apart when testing, cracking from that sharp corner into the bushing bore. Some dumba$$ engineer, decided they could grind a radius in that corner to keep them from cracking. It didn't help a bit, even though a bunch of guys sat grinding that corner out for a couple weeks, to get a few tracks made up to test. If the radius was there before heat treat, it would have helped, but the stress point was already there when these were ground out. I would imagine the track links have been upgraded a few times since my time at Peoria. 😎

Getting it on the lowboy would have been the problem I think.😊

I work in a mine in the Pilbara of Western Australia and we had 2 of these old D10Rs. DZ 3076 was my favourite, it weighed in at close to 90 tons and this dozer was a beast. We also had 4 D10Ts and now we have a fleet of D10T2s. The D10R in my opinion was the pinnacle of D10s, they had the weight and the reliability. The D10T2s have to much electronics and don't have the weight.

Sunteți oameni minunați și vă admir !Bravo!

That's a good lookin piece of equipment, just needs a little TLC

I Ran both 9 and 10Rs for 10 years in Mining, Along with Kamatsu 475 and the 10R was the Cadillac of Pushing Dirt, It makes Me feel like a Dinosaur to hear you speak of them as if they are antiques The 10 would a mountain and the Kamatsu would smooth to grade like a carpet. Two of the finest dozers ever built!

Soo cool to see this old girl run!

NICE SAVE .

Nice Video 👍

I would restore it to resell

Also good for doing demo work like reducing a building to rubble for demo ! Had a friend buy one at action and built a development on a site then sold it

Is that a 70 series Toyota Landcruiser?!? I didn't think they had them in the States! That's mint!

man, that thing is a beast !

Caterpillar d10 R bulldozer is one of the good bulldozers

You’ll make money on this machine. Lots of great core components. UC ain’t much to look at. Probably why it wasn’t repaired.

Key on and park brake off will show you the hours on the display on an AKT I believe.

as an old digger driver this machine should be kept going as long as possible never operated a beast like this but would love to 😜

I want to sell truck and equipment parts but know absolutely nothing about heavy equipment. I’m looking forward to the complete series

Right hand drive Toyota wow big machine there

What would a machine like cost at action ? Good for doing some easy work around the site !

Good 👍🏻 job

23:00 dang, that Ripper Assembly is intimidating .. the power of those cylinders .. yikes!

Thats why it's called heavy construction

Just wondering how much per hr. for the lowboy and truck.

It obviously ran to get on the lowboy??

how much did this d10 run you?

When that machine was in operation it must've suck down some fuel.

Its not been sitting on that lowboy for 5+ years?

That's one big ole dozer

Did you ever find the hours on it ?

If it wouldn’t run, how did they load it onto the trailer?

How was it saved from the bone yard if you are just going to strip it for parts

How'd ya get it on the float?

Can't wait to watch the tear down videos

always hammer down the battery cable connectors on to the battery posts. it helps the batteries internal connections to the plates . works especially well on big diesel high current starting batteries that cost 500.00 to 1000.00 dollars each.

No reason this couldn't be repaired and used. Maybe the thought is the parts are worth more than the whole.

The first ofg the cat Super Dozers; what a majestic beast. Immortalized in song in Johnny Cash's 'Heavy Metal. How long is that oil dipstick, anyway?

Nice 75 series LandCruiser. Didn’t think you’d see many of them in the US?

How did you get it on the truck ???

The Rs and newer are nice but become electrical nightmares as they age, the N series and older are much simpler machines to keep going. Not going to see any R series still going strong at the age you seem some of the old G and H series dozers still going at.

Soooo how did you get it on the lowboy? Really interested to know why you wouldn't have driven it on....or was it sitting for 5-8 years on the trailer?

With your mutual love of old iron, I'm thinking ya ought do something with dieselcreek

Was that a V-8 ?. What did it cost you ?. And what do they go for New ?.

I didn't realize Casey Ladelle is needing a Cat D10R. He probably didn't know he wanted one either.

Could be refurbished and used as a newly refurbished unit and set up with another life

so it's been sitting on that trailer for 8 to 10 years?????

how many tons does that beasty weigh ? what makes you look at something that big and say "I am taking it apart "

Wish you woulda explained why it’s better.

OMG! 😘😘

What did u pay for it ?

2:19 hes holding the camera

if it was sitting for 5-8 years howd they get it on the trailer

More!

Your title is a bit off. Saved from the boneyard? Parting it out is the same thing.

that thing is massive!

saved from the bone yard to go to a bone yard.. Spoiler alert

How did it get on the lowboy?

Back up never mind the dozer 5 minute mark why’s the story with the cruiser Ute, translated to American Toyota Land Cruiser 75 series utility

new killdozer?

seems ok ish sad see it getting parted out i guess if going to keep other machines running ok better then just for scrap

USAF has the same deal they have a one time repair cost

"R" stands for "Ridonculous" lol

It has been sitting on the lowbed for 5 to 6 years? It started to get it on the lowbed. It hasn’t been sitting on the lowbed.

You saved it from the boneyard to literally send it to the boneyard, whatever!

What Toyota was that

How much is your time worth vs the cost of two batteries? Simple mistake many people make.

How did you get it on trailer if it don't run . . Or start ????????????

Probably worth way more money parted out than an overhaul.

Where you guys located at

Yes I'm thinking that's too good of a tractor to scrapped for parts

موديل 1988 و واقفه 5 سنوات

Why not rebuild it and sell it !! Since it’s one of the most preferred dozer

What size is engine, V? hp?

you can see that the dozer too heavy for this trailer and you can hear the trailer making weird noise

Aren't you the "boneyard".....lol

Batteries are only as strong as the weakest one.

Club Aerostart

Its a shame this thing is being parted out. Its doesn't even sound like its had certified rebuild done on it yet.

Well you really didn't save any thang if the only reason that you got it was to cut it up for parts ...only if you need the parts then good but if for a doller than it was saved just post poned

Where is the blade

Ho Mitch did u pay for it mate 😃

Those tracks are worn smooth out!

N model is the best

Hi I’m

If it’s the “ best 10 ever made “ you’d think it’s worth rebuilding with new tracks and selling back again rather then parting out but I understand if that’s your business

I understand why would you want to scrap it out it runs just got to do a little bit of work and get your money back on it by selling it out is fire service or you can get them to certify it when they need a bulldozer on fire did they call you to come out with it make a lot of more money that way then you would the scrap it

Bummer, all the motion make me sick, couldn't finish video.

Fix an use

All the drama to get it off..it drove onto the trailer unless someone used magic to load it..drama queens...

so how did you get on the low boy you drove it on we are not dumb come on dont insualt us

I can't help but hate just about everybody who "parts everything out".

A lot of talk and almost no action.
