If you're going to spend $980k on a dozer...and you're going to either watch it rust or a $80k paint job... I'd bring it home with some new lipstick...

HALON747 She looked bad ass with the pewter grey look. ' hi H... who is a word - she -... where is she now... what her name and do have a picture of her

Why you call a dozer, she ?

HALON747 guyz And u; how about metalic grey or soldier beige colour?

Darth Vader's ride

Almost like the "KILLDOZER"

Arrowhead Services Very thanks for your answer! Amazing video! Keep it up...

Tyler Spellman I have lots of Weldco Beales attachments. Great quality attachments.

Im a machinist, and i work on making various wear plates for machines, that is when we get an order of them, they are usually quard500 or hardox500 its pretty much the same thing, but man is it a bitch to work with!

Tyler Spellman what rod are you running and what's your hard facing pattern?

U can't weld

tallfarmboy barely broke in.

Du-pont rebuild.

The grousers are worn down so it likely needs a fully rebuilt undercarriage. Give it a rattle-can rebuild and send it to Ritchie Brothers.

@@epistte This is at Ritchie Brothers

@@alco424 Arrowhead Services is contracted by Ritchie Bros for a quickie repaint before they are resold? I didn't know that.

HANSEBANGER77 i don’t thing they touched the rod/ seals in that process.

"we washed it off and couldn't find the leak you were talking about, she's good to go"

Depending on the surface but yeah it will split them, a blade with push arms and tilt cylinders usually weighs 14 tones

We wish they worked that fast ;) it would make things wayyyy more efficient!

How much tinners ?

John O Brien I used to work in a Tarmac Plant and the favourite order of the Travellers was always “Tree ton of Tree mill” True story

It is sand blasting! We use garnet as our blasting media and before we do anything on a piece of equipment, we tape off anything that could be damaged! No damage done when we sandblast :)

Dulux rebuild

Work hard? Are you high? Didnt even get the proper treatment! Shouldve been stripped to nothing and done properly! And charge more with a fresh full ground up rebuild

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

They are merely the absence of light, which does exist.

Thanks Kevin!

You're absolutely right! We had these Cat rock trucks in the shop last week....our paint bay doors are 25 feet tall and those things were right at the top! You can't understand how big they are until you see them in person. Thanks for watching!!

Arrowhead Services thanks for responding

Sandblasting is pretty intense! Thanks for watching!

Known in Australia as a liquid overhaul. Well it was forty years ago. Cheers.

bare metal??? thats grey paint......

That's primer you fucking idiot 😂😂

@@Alejandro-vb2fx You've never sandblasted anything obviously. Thats exactly how bare metal looks afterwards.

@@Chrisped11 Maybe some form of steel not used pipelining, when we sandblast the welds they're pretty damn reflective not dull like this. I've been a coating/blasting Foreman for 12 years now. I know a thing or two about sand blasting (we use black beauty media, medium for the most part haven't used sand much at all)

Certainly no expert on sand/media blasting, but most has come out as a darker grey matte finish. Have used anything from Aluminum Oxide to walnut. Could also be shit lighting. Makes sense it was blasting because they moved it to the paint shop then primed a lighter colour.

You probably have to pay 30% again as much for "Caterpillar Yellow", especially if it has the logo on it. It's a trademarked color, after all. I'd paint it generic yellow before I screwed around with that. Although I doubt anything with "John Deere" on it is a lot cheaper! Both make more money off of their damn brand identities than anything else. All these people convinced that somehow a Cat or Deere is somehow infinitely better than the "junk" made elsewhere. Even admitting that a Cat or Deere is often a better machine (not that I'm even admitting that) it doesn't make the other machine "junk" and it doesn't somehow turn the Cat into some flawless super machine that can run rings around others. It's like the Ford vs Chevy thing; even if a Chevy IS better than a Ford it doesn't mean it's TWICE as good. It cant' haul twice the payload, it doesn't have twice the performance, etc. Even IF a Ford had "twice the failures" of a Chevy, that doesn't translate into a huge difference in everyday driveability or profitability. Same is true with machines; people just like to choose "their" brands and bash everything else. and Cat and JD are only two of the brands notorious for this annoying behavior. But I've gotten off track.

BarnStangz yoou can buy kubota orange at tractor supply company, it's not expensive and is easy to put on, plus they sell the cans of it too. Kubota blue is a totally different story...

kubotas website sells the blue if not find a dealer theyll send it if you pay

Not airless sprayers! For sandblasting and painting, we actually have 3 Atlas Copco running at 161HP each and 2 large receiver tanksfor air storage to feed 2-6 cube blast pots. with these compressors we can run both pots and feed the whole shop including the painters at the same time and not have a pressure drop in the system. Thanks for your comment!

I noticed

Yes I saw it

But it has new paint

All I noticed was a shop gremlin at 3:17 ! Spooky !

No

wcresponder What do you mean? It wouldn't change the HP, or the torque.

wcresponder you mean for visibility?

I was just wondering why the cab is always in the back. Wouldn't visibility be better forward? I don't do heavy equipment, just curious. Or is it like red fire trucks are better than yellow?

wcresponder I suspect it has to do with the engine bay, and the design. Moving the cab forward would, A) limit the space for the mechanics, B) make the floor of the cab hot as hell, and C) possibly affect the layout and efficiency of the hydraulics, gas lines, etc. Another thing to mention is having the cab towards the rear improves the safety of the operator. I'm sure I'm missing some things, as I'm not an expert.

Thanks for your input, much appreciated.

Every unit is different! Depending on how much prep is needed, how many individual parts to paint, etc... all effects the time it takes to refurbish! Price also is dependent on what type of paint the customer wants, what colors, if they want it direct to metal or not, there are many many factors. Do you have a piece that you are interested in painting?

Arrowhead Services, Ltd. I know of a gentleman who whats too sell a D9, right next 50 feet from it is a D2.( I threw a lite bid), for both of them,,They been setting for close to 25 years, I think about throwing another $3,000 the D2 is unbelievable good shape, just kind of curious, watching your video I can tell that you guys are extremely thorough, I worked in a body shop back in the late sixties early 70s, (the old school where everything was done by hand.) labor intensified perfection. Excellent video thank you.

Our booths are BIG! We have to fit some huge equipment up in there. We do enjoy the hot tub though... haha Thanks for watching!

Have you ever been to Vermont? I have lived here my whole life, and I've rarely seen it look like that, winter or summer. Why would you say "Vermont" as if winters looked any different here than elsewhere? In fact we haven't gotten shit for winter the last 3-4 years. A few moderate snow storms (that look nothing like this), a bit of snow (more this year than the last two). 25deg weather. Not real blizzards like the Northwest or parts of Canada or Alaska get. We get fog sometimes, but it's more common in the summer.

That freshly blasted bare metal is pretty sweet!

Yes sir you are right! Big machines = a lot of area to cover! Thanks for watching!

It all depends on the job we do! Customers sometimes want direct-to-metal paint jobs without primer. Thanks for watching!

Is it possible you could help me with my truck? I really need help. Something to bring my three daughters around as I go to work and try to make it there today. I’m not looking for a handout, I can pay it back just wanna know how you can help me with my transportation as I am pretty ignorant when it comes to that. I just want to help my family. I just wanna work. God bless and stay safe

Steve Wisniewski happy birthday

Would be like 300 thick to

If you look closely, there are railroad ties imbedded in the concrete carrying the load.

Piss off.
