I find it kind of interesting that the lad up in New York State can make a video about putting in a couple of culverts and have over a quarter million views, and here this man with the skill to totally disassemble these machines and put them back together and have not even a thousand views as of five minutes ago. Whatever floats your boat I guess. This guy is no doubt the hardest working man on KZfaq, in my opinion and has managed to do a video daily or at least every other day. He's beating the full time KZfaqrs at their own game with a hobbled foot no Less lol. Appreciate your hard work and commentary man.👍

It's been a good week for watching Warren's channel. Such a treat with so many uploads

Having used to do shit like this out in the field I'm glad now at my age I don't anymore. Total respect for him working as hard as he is on his own.

Years of field experience on display again by Warren! Lots to learn just watching over this guys shoulder, nice job!

Gives me comfort knowing im not the only guy out there working on worn out cobbled equipment all day. Keep up the good fight sir.

When Warren retires the people who get work done by him in all sorts of weather and on weekends will suddenly realise that they have the best hard working mechanic they will ever have. It will be a sad day for us as viewers but even more so for those who have depended on him for many years. The repairs will slow down.

Warren is the GOAT! Been watching this ole boy for 5 years! Hardest working man on you tube! I hope his kids appreciate just how hard this man works by himself to put food on the table and clothes on their backs!

Oddly enough, I’ve ran into the same thing, on the same machine out on a logging job on Chichagof island here in Souteast Alaska. Boy was I cussing them for welding the Alligator together. Was able to clean it up and get it back together though! Keep up the good work! Always look forward to new videos and the knowledge you share.

One of the attributes I admire about you, is your tenacity when you come onto jobs like this.

Hi Warren, CAT have what they call “classic” parts which are new,old stock for those D8k’s and they are usually very cheap. I wouldn’t mess around trying to fix those old broken parts if it was me. Thanks for the great video. Kiwi mechanic.

hope the foots healing the right way Warren. Thank you for all your hard work with the videos god bless and stay safe. Thank god for cranes when working on this stuff

Might want to check with Clint from c&c equipment. They have a KZfaq channel and always seem to be working on them big old dozers. He might know where to find parts. Wish I could help more. Always enjoy your videos and have learned a lot. If you ever want a vacation in Florida and want to fish just let me know. We will bring your whole family out.

Watching a CEE video and get a notification that Warren has posted a new video. I had to finish with Curtis, then come over to watch Warren. I’m always impressed with the variety of equipment that you work on. Thanks for the videos.

working with tracks is the one thing that gives me the willies, when they move they can move fast!

What a mess that poor D8 is in ! Well, you sure are right about replacing those idler parts, i hope you can get hold of some replacements. I watched this 4 days after you posted it , hope your foot is getting better all the time.

Ending the week with a Cat D8. Life's good. Thanks Warren.

I work for a truck dealership, been watching you're videos for along time, you definitely put some work away.. I think i have a busy weeks ontill you watch this MAN definitely a hard-working guy. I think it would be a great experience to work in your shop.

Your depth of skills never ceases to amaze me Warren. Looks like the foot is healing well.👍👍👍👍👍

Really hard work to get it apart. Thank for another great video. When I was a kid I helped put in final drives in a D8 2-U cable blade CAT 👍

That is hard work . Not everyone is willing or capable to do repairs in the field . Well done .

I have been around some good techs in my time but this guy is the best all around tech,mechanic what ever you want to call him that I have ever seen!

Great video Warren really enjoy watching you disassemble this D8K dozer. With all the stumbling blocks and still get it apart. Then to figure out what the best way to fix it. Thanks for sharing stay safe Warren.

They damn well better be paying you top dollar for such a f'd up job man. Hope your foot's feeling better soon.

Great to see another one today Warren. You need to kick back in the recliner this weekend and give that foot a rest, have a few cocktails while watching some old Clint Eastwood movies. Remember there is always another day, customers can wait, but your health is more important.

You are blessed with incredible views at work. It is deserved.

That poor ole 8 kitty has been through the wringer, that welding looks like someone got it working good enough to get it to an auction. You had your hands full getting this one apart, nice job of snaking that idler out Warren, I enjoyed watching, thanks for the video and I appreciate your time sir.

That's gotta be a real joy, walking around in mud with that boot on, but ya do what ya gotta do. That welding job they did was crazy, it sure makes any future repairs a pain if you end up having to weld it back up, but hopefully you can get the parts to avoid having to weld up like that. Thanks for all the video's you've been putting out, appreciate it. G-d bless.

I have great respect for you Warren you know how to do anything

getting around pretty good in that boot nicely done

No injury slowing you down, have a great weekend. Thanks for the videos

you are one tough dude there man, respect. I have been watching you for a while now..

I really like the D8's I learned how to operate one when I was 13 yrs old, and I have worked on a lot of them in all kinds of repairs

another bad...ass video from Warren this week.....never ceases to amaze me.

You gave a good description of the people that had worked on that track

Great to see you on the old equipment in field

Warren thanks again for another video It doesn’t go unnoticed

Man you earned your paycheck on this one. Always amazed at the variety of jobs Warren gets to tackle. If your watching this channel subscribe and help out so content can be created.

Good morning from Canada. Kindest regards 🇨🇦🇨🇦

Always enjoy the dozers Warren,you’re remarkable.

You're the man Warren! I appreciate your work and you making videos!

Warren, you are one in a million.

Great job 👏 and with a broken foot 🦶

Great video Warren.

Kicking ass with a busted foot in a boot, you are bad to the bone Warren. Thanks for the videos Sir.

Dang buddy you definitely get the hard jobs thanks for sharing

That is certainly a manly machine. Keep up the good work. You are a inspiration.

Thanks Warren you are the GOAT!

Fantastic channel thanks Warren

your right front tire is very low. your the man

You have a beast on your hands and, knocking it out. Stay safe.

Good gosh, we had all that stuff used in our yard that just got scrapped out after sitting around awhile. It was used and replaced, but the parts were at least better than what you've got there. Good luck 👍. Getting tough to find that stuff.

Hey Warren, you’re really pushing that foot. Hope you get a little extra rest for it to heal up. Working on that big stuff really shows your expertise! Thanks much for another video.

Thanks Warren for a week of great video's much appreciate your time for taking us along hope your foot heals well stay safe

Warren don't kill yourself keeping the customers happy . I know you're a hard worker and have great values. Most employers would love to have people like you working for them . 😊😊

Have a good day and weekend feller 👊

This guy better pay you fasten enough to be a gold medal winner Warren!

Great video as usual , makes me exhausted just watching you work lol Stay safe buddy !

An epic episode and more to come!

Best Wishes to You and Your Family Warren. This one seems one of the more difficult jobs You have taken.

You are nothing short of genius, Warren. So much respect for you.

Amazing what one really good mechanic can do with himself and a truck. 😎

Great out in the field video again bloke

Another video ,awsome Warren Great video .interesting project ,safe travels bud,thx for sharing .cheers

Warren you are the Man !

I have never seen a link welded together. What a pain in the A. That piece that holds the idler is called a yoke. I am sure you can find one some where. I don`t know if Cat still has their classic parts division.

Great job Warren! Hope the foots a 100 % soon.

A really good show

Warren is a bull, attack, attack, and attack. He just doesn't quit or give up, and he has an extremely well equipped truck. Whatever he charges isn't enough for his talent and tenacity.

Hi Warren, although I got rid of my D8K's about 8 years ago, Cat offered wearing parts like front idlers, front idler slides, genuine CAT Classic parts direct from cat. The other wearing part I had some success with were ITR brand. Im in Australia 🇦🇺 but figured all of these came out of USA 🇺🇸 regardless. Great video, ha ha, welded alligator joiners, never seen that LOL.

Amazing work Warren after seeing the gater teeth welded most guys would have walked away 🦘

Nice job Warren'👍👍s

No glamour gig there. Great can-do video. Steve

Good job on this vid Warren , cheers

Warren you are surely testing that boot to its limits😂😂

Great work, thanks for sharing 👍💨💨

thanks Warren for the great content there aren't many people left as diverse as you doing everything ignore the negative a holes

I agree Warren try and replace all that stuff maybe with some new stuff hopefully used!! That thing is just demolished its got cracks all the way through it!! Besides broken!! You over did it today!! Hard to choose light work I'm sure.

If they can afford it check with c and c equipment I think he can get all that re cast metal really enjoy you work and content keep up the great work

Awesome i realy like some caterpillar dozer repair 👍

Warren, you certainly get the challenging jobs but have the knowledge and experience to fix the problems. Great video.

thats one hard working man, right thier folks

You are a real pro!

Nice job Warren. Hope the foot is healing up.

Warren there is no substitute for experience. Great job with one foot in a brace even!

THIS MAN IS GOLD !!!

It's like they intentionally booby trapped that machine for you. I mean why the heck is the primer pump loose? That's why it wouldn't run. As soon as you tightened that down and it wasn't sucking air it picked right up and ran like a top. Then the welded gators... SMH. At least it's a sunny day.

Agreed warren&andrew deserve alot of credit along wth Diesel Creek, watch wes work and whole group of others, they should all be proud for a good product, informative, and quality

Good Work.....as usual

Where there is a will there is a way Warren, against all odds, no hydraulics etc you got it in the end, a bit of ingenuity, a bit of heat and an FBH will get it done most times, nice one

All that welding on that track I’m thinking is some guy letting his son practice his welding skills on this thing? When I saw the alligator welded I laughed so hard 😂

I had to weld a link together on a D7 because the pad bolts stripped out. Thread repairs often don't work good there with all the strain on the rails. It sure looks like another idler folk would be the best bet and get the rubber cushion pucks replaced as well.

good vid warren

Back to a hard one after the easy fix on the video before. But we know you will fix it. All the best.

Interesting stuff cheers Warren

Not sure if its of any use, but we got an old D8H sitting that we salvaged the engine from. It has fully functional undercarriage on it. Could cut out the Alligators for ya too If ya need em.

The depth and breadth of your experience is amazing. You work hard and smart, a combination that is hard to beat. The people in your area are lucky to have you. Keep making the videos. Watching them is like sitting in on a college professor’s lecture. Great stuff!

This is a job you’ll remember for a long, long time.

Sounds like they got that Earl ingenuity

Just wishin I was there to give ya a hand! One of these days I might have ya come out and take a look at my Komatsu PC75uu-2. The boom is bypassing somewhere.

Good job wes work safe man. And you're right that piece isn't worth fixing anymore happened once too often on that old girl.
