1.5 million guys who all dream of owning a dozer. No, I dont need it, but I sure want one......

You could make an 1 1\2 hour video fixing the dozer I would watch every min of the video.I love that stuff!!

“I’m going to have to tear that apart. It shouldn’t be that hard.” The most famous last words ever said! 🤣😂

Love the Dozer videos Westen keep them coming, I am a 70 year old guy sitting in a recliner in North Dallas and every time I watch one of your videos I want to hop up and come work on one of your projects, your attitude is infectious and your videos make my day, so keep them coming. What is happening with the Mustang? How is Beyonce? Does your Mom let you drive her Porsche?

"We're having issues with the winch." Get used to it buddy. Some women are just that way.

1.5 million people aren't watching the dozer, they are watching you Westin ;)

The 7 people that disliked the video, don't have a dozer 😂

Westen I have no idea why I enjoy listening to you speak... but I do. Keep making vids I’ll keep watching.

A lot of the flow from your pump is probably going to the winch. once you get it disengaged the blade may move better...

Remember to put a coffee can or something over the exhaust stack to keep out the weather. Ole dozer is looking like a great deal!

Love it... reminds me of the time I worked at a Cat plant testing loaders in the 80's the power shift was awesome! I expect sitting around caused air in the system to enter on one end of the blade cylinders.... any air in the cylinder will mean it will not move until it cycles a few times... I would expect the seals to be pretty rotten so as soon as you fix that winch and the cylinders see full pump pressure you will have a mess... best to put a seal kit in... keep us posted on your progress... Geez what a blast!

It doesn't need new paint, it's perfect just the way it is! That old patina has character.

Most interesting video in a long time. I am 71 so I grew up when this was new. I saw many of these run on real construction jobs. My father did high steel in ohio. I did survey work for a major intersection when I was a senior in high school . Great job

It’s better having a d11 high track sitting in your yard just to plow your driveway in the winter and have all your neighbors staring at you pissed that you woke them up at 3am with it

This guy explains very quickly, exactly, and so easy to understand the workings of these old Dozers...I like this guy as he is a happy friendly sort of person....good to have him as a friend.

I SO enjoy watching you and listening to your explaining what you are doing. You in many ways remind me of an uncle I loved hanging with 66+ years ago, as a little 4th grader, they lived in Texas. There wasnt anything he couldnt fix. He, in my eyes, was a genius. He would buy broken/abandoned heavy equipment, like you, haul it home on his huge, heavy duty flat bed trailer. My aunt would have a cow, cuss up a storm. All he'd say, "baby, I can fix it, use it for business and buy those fancy city things you love." That pretty much quieted her down. You 2 are probably from the same inquisitive mold, mechanically. Always figuring it out, getting it to work. I look forward to watch your telling of rebuilding that CAT. I will reminisce about my cool uncle, listening to you. Please keep up the YOU TUBE sharing on this cool CAT. We WANT MORE!

Western I just wanted to start off this by letting you know that I am incredibly impressed with your mechanical abilities at such a young age only wish that I knew half of what you know and I know without a doubt that I'm probably damn near three times your age and with that being said I get the most enjoyment out of watching you fix things that look like they would be a real test for me therefore I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos repairing the Dozer repairing the Mustang the Cummins engine swaps and all of the other fantastic things that you do and make look so easily when I know that they are a lot more difficult than they appear anyway I hope to God you have a wonderful day and that life gives you everything that you ever dreamed of talk to you again soon.

You know what I was having a really bad day to day and watching your videos just put a smile on my face so thanks westen

I've gotta tell you, as a hard working man myself,you have no idea how happy it makes me to see a young guy that actually likes ,and is good at using his hands and brain to do a good days work like a man!! Very impressed!! Great job!! Kudos to your parents!its just not common anymore!Keep those videos coming!!

Wes I gotta say the main thing I love about your videos is that everybody can tell that you are showing us who you really are, and your enthusiasm for what you do. You keep bringing me back memories of when I was much younger, and reminding me of how it felt to do the repairs on the different machinery I used to use. It don't hurt that your accent sounds almost as good as mine here in L. A. That is what we call it here in Jay Florida, Lower Alabama

The guy's got a lot of projects. Still doing stuff with the Fummins, mustang, Ford tractor, and this! Lots to look forward to.

You're the reason people are watching your videos. You make it very entertaining. Now I need to find me an old Bulldozer and fix it up! Lol

Get that winch fixed you won't need to be worried about the barn getting stuck in the mud.

You are a natural buddy...great content and you really know how to work the spotlight.

That engine is in great shape! No blue oil smoke, strong runner! Great work so far getting it running!

You have to do it justice and fix her up tip top, back to factory. What a beast & testament to the builders, made to last well past anything made today.

Nice work buddy! Great video and love watching people wrench on old equipment and bring it back to life. Gotta love old RELIABLE tools / equipment

I’m sitting in a d6 right now I relate to this guy so much. I’ve loved this stuff since I was a kid

Oh Man !! Loveit !! Nothing sounds like a CAT ! And yes, always Have to know how all the controls work. I operated a D7 some 45 years ago ! Thanks for the memories, And "OLD", hell that was only a short time ago !

I love the sound of that old diesel engine starting and running. She is a beast.

Love everything you guys do !! Especially reconditioning old diesels or dozers. What ever love it !!! Good ol boys rehabbing everything!!!

Your enthusiasm is contagious! Love it man!

Westen you rock man keep this good videos coming!

This rebuild is unique, so I will continue to watch the progress.

Thank You, For sharing your knowledge on running the dozer. You never know when a guy would need to run a dozer.

Used to operate those old D7s in the Army 35 years ago. Brings back good memories...

Just another great video And love seeing that Big Caterpillar Dozer Diesel Power ! ! ! 👍😎

I subbed just so I can see you tear something apart with that monster winch. Love your videos!!

I want one! That thing is beyond awesome. The sound of the engine with the clanging of the steel tracks is badass! Definitely want to see you fix that beast up!

One of my favorite vids so far thanks for the walkthrough. What a timeless, badass, machine!!

Westen, drag out one of your old cars and crush it...everyone loves seeing cars get crushed.

Woo!! Hello from Deep South Texas!! Puro Rgv!! Love the videos

Wooow!! I didn’t realize how big your channel has grown! Congratulations, keep em comin!

You’re doing great, ignore the idiots giving you grief about checking fluids. Im old and so is my tractor(1967 John Deere 4020 gasoline power shift) ive had to do some engineering to keep her happy but she is a beast too. Those old hydraulic systems are so over built it is unusual for a serious problem to happen. First check for blockage, and the most common, especially in this old beast is a filter needing changed. When you hear the pump whine, change the filter. Also, maybe change the hydraulic fluid....it can accumulate moisture just from temp changes. If you don’t know when the last time it was changed...change it. Itll save headaches in the long run and you’ll know for certain the fluid is in good shape. Also, check your control connections on the valve body, shoot some WD-40 or similar light oil to the controls moving parts. Your blade may not have been moving last time because the valve was stuck and once you got the fluid moving it freed up after sitting for a bit. Great machine and the price...crazy!!! Shoot me any question and if I can help... good luck!

My Great Uncle used them for years. When he started running dozers they had steel cables to raise the blades

idk about any of you here, but this thing's shaping up to be a good mining dozer imo. The winch would be good to help pull an entire gold dredge along.

Friend, you're just a kid in a candy shop. I can see your happiness. And it's contagious.

Love the content! Thanks for taking the time to make the videos! Tug-o-war with the fummins and the big red!

Check the oil filters, screens on the winch hydraulics behind the inspection plate. Also check if you have a priority valve between blade and winch.

way to go Westen would love to see that winch working ,maybe even pull something down ...lol

saw one yesterday pushing dirt in a field...loved to watch these when I was a kid

They were great dozers! It is a mechanical winch that runs off a power take off shaft.. Hyster made an excellent winch. I worked at Ohio machinery for 42 years

I like the old tracked earth moving equipment I hope to get one someday.

The hydraulic pump noise could be the relief valve sticking.

There was just something satisfying about watching you have fun on the dozer. It’s definitely a cool piece of machinery.

You have the correct formula & Personality Winston. 10 out 10 from NZ..👍😉🇳🇿🇳🇿

Could just be air in system from sitting 10yrs. But check pickup screen love the videos

Awesome job fixing the dozer so far, great video! Has anyone here had a piece of equipment like this they have restored and what was the biggest challenge?

Haha! I have no need for this information because I’ll NEVER be messing with a Dozer, but this stuff is FASCINATING! Thanks, Westen!

You were like a little kid at christmas, so funny to watch. LOL Glad to see you're getting things fixed on the ol' CAT. Can't wait to see you guys doing some work with it. Stay safe.

Good video guys, l think Weston was excited for once. Ha ha

Been watching since the $1000 obs... love your channel!

Wow she sounds like the runs like a champ! Crazy how that stuff can sit so long and run so well after years.

Well done,, you were very easy to understand, on the workings of the machine,, looks good, I do agree with the reply on the winch,, once it's fixed or disengaged, you will have full flow on the blade,, great vid. 👍 👍

Detachable exhaust... new machines don’t come with these features😂

Found this channel because of the fummins and I love it. Need to do a 1500 chevy

Ran a D8K while in the army Corp of engineers. Prior to the army I had ran a D9 which had a pony engine for starting. Caterpillar built America. Great watching your endeavors!

That old yellow dog is just like YOU.. Big and powerful and loves to talk (run). I know it thanks you guy's for bring her back from the dead.Thanks, Texas

That is so AWESOME I would love to drive that Bad Boy! LOL

Take your CAT D7 completely apart,. Pull the tracks off,. Clean and repack all the wheel bearings, repaint it piece by piece , when you are done you will have learned a lot and be proud of it! 🤔🚜

I've been around them all my childhood, the old man was a mechanic for heavy equipment. I driven dozer, skidsters, escavators, you name it. Glad to see someone who is as enthusiastic as I was when I first saw them.

Fun video, good job. I always enjoyed working my equipment. There's a real joy finding the problem and fixing it yourself.

Dam man you making it big. been since 40k subs!

Specific gravity batteries on hand just under 2000 amps, and football with laces out let's go

What a character this bloke is if I ever visit America I’d love to meet him. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

This man is genuine "good ol boy". I very seldom give such a high praise

That dozer painted a flat black would look so badass

I had over half a million watch my D8K Start up... But I still like this better then My own video lol

56 year old momma here. I love love your videos. You are a hoot son

Great stuff Westen! I feel accomplished when I watch you fix up stuff lol.

Keep finding stuff and making it work. That is what the people like!!

It self healed 🇺🇸,, now push some dirt around and make a fun-time track 😎

Got a chance to operate an old D9 in Alaska at a gold mine. Had cables to raise the blade. Was loads of fun. That was almost 20 years ago, was 14

I work in an office everyday, watch all your stuff!!! Get it fixed up, safe and painted. It will last a lifetime. Great job on the videos.

The roads I could make with that. The snow wouldnt be a problem. Everyone should have one.

Something to keep in mind is that Caterpillars aren't yellow. That color is gold brother.

Learned how to have a positive attitude about mechanical problems watching this thankyou

Definitely repaint, new filters, and winch repair. this old cat is awesome.

Bulldozer alert squad UNITE!

This looks like the same dozer that helped Kevin Bacon escape the graboids.

Im an operator/mechanic on a D7F dozer very similar. Mine has a standard transmission. It's really neat seeing these older machines being fixed

love your channel weston. keep the great content coming

Saw an excavator fly off a lowboy today on i5 here in washington state. Butthole pucker factor 10. Golly.

WESTIN...... push some dirt with that bad boy

Absolutely love these videos! I can’t get over the fact that you look 43 and 14 at the same time. Like a young Phil margera lol keep the awesomeness coming man 👍👌💪

Dude I never ran worked or anything but I saw the first vid and decide to watch and I love the channel man

Warming it up before going full throttle is probably a good idea.

All I hear when that thing is running is Freedom.

This city boy always wanted a dozer. Thanks for sharing

Good to see you having fun on that dozer Westen it looks fun it will be a nice dozer when you get all fixed thanks for video's
