My Dad, Lloyd Allen, was the best dozer operator in the Northern MO area. One of the dozers he ran was a D8 Cable dozer exactly like this for my Uncle Gerald. I have sat many hours on the toolbox riding along just like this video. I also pushed down my first mile high cottonwood tree with it. Great memories. Miss my Dad!

It makes me happy that people are preserving and running this old iron. We’re spoiled with the equipment we have now. It’s good to be reminded once and a while of the past. And it’s challenges.

Looks like Matt was able to take the slack out of that right track & a new stack to boot! Chris adapts quickly to any machine he operates, what a treat to see the old iron convention! 👍👍

Sam's dozer looks like it just rolled off the assembly line and Matt's looks like it just did a back flip off the trailer at 90 mph but in true diesel creek fashion she runs absolutely beautiful!!!

Always a cool video when Chris is at the Old Iron Show!! Grandpa would be proud!!

Ok Chris you have left us hanging for 2 days concerning the new excavator, that is just wrong!! lol Looks like you enjoyed your time at the Old Iron show.

That D8 is truly magnificent. I hope Matt gets to do more work on it.

Whole 'nother critter but you guys might like Kory Andersen's Case 150 road locomotive, the biggest steam engine built back in 1905. He's pulled a 50, yes 50 bottom plow with it! 8,000 lb ft. of torque! He poured, machined and built every part for it. Absolutely fantastic!

That D8 motor/engine is running nice and clean on the emissions, better than some newer models . Thanks for the video Chris 🍺🍺🍺🍺

I thought there was likely more to your trip than trying out a couple of bigger machines, especially as you were op in Matt's neck of the woods. 😁

This is a Win-Win! Two of my favorite channels working together! Nice!

Chris is happy anytime he doesn't have to dig the tracks out.

I enjoy watching your videos. As someone who sees the parts for these machines every day. I can see how all the pieces go together.

Not a computer in sight, no Eco krap, just a big powerful machine that anyone with a decent pair of hands can maintain. Thanks for the trip down memory lane 🇮🇪☘️😂

I filled many a fuel tank on a d8 cable Dozer, 150 gallons w/a hand crank. Had a cable pan to go with it. Rerouting the cables from blade to pan was a job. Company also had a large motor grader that was mechanical. Remember w/a smile watching the operator as he was grading roads. Doing a dance between the foot pedals and hand controls while grading. Helping the concrete crew repair the man hole covers that both machines eventually cut off.

That D8 almost ended up in a creek but was saved by a tree when the cable snapped as Matt was trying to save it on a slope after it quit running on him. Glad he was able to get the kinks out and get it back to running again. Sounds like it runs great. Anyway, I predict a D8 in Chris's future, even if it's just one to keep around the farm to putt around on, lol.

One of the best earth moving machines ever produced❤

Guys i was watching the cable dozer and i looked away for a minute and looked at the dozer again and noticed a different operating skill and i said that has to be Chris. Looked at operator and it was Chris. You just do things different and its better. Matt you did a great job getting her ready for the show. She sounds great and seems to be working great. Love that D8. Hello Chris .

Wonderful old iron. I love how its far from 100% but still incredibly capable. I cultivate with a 1942 Farmall A, only used about 60 hours a year, but its always ready to go. When The big 6 yoa John Deeres I drive are 77 they won't be around, much less running well... This is one of Matts better finds....

No government "juice" around. One of the reason's to love old iron.

This is the first time that i can watch 2 episodes at same time 😁 let'sdig18 and Diesel creek 😂😂👍😜

Chris is the epitome of a natural-born operating engineer! He appears to love the challenge of trying out anything, the bigger, the more challenging the better! 👏🏽 👍🏼☺

Love the sound of that Detroit dump....

Gotta love it! Chris Occupation: Heavy Equipment Operator, Entertainment: Operating someone else's Heavy Equipment, Hobbies: Operating my own Drag Line and assortment of Heavy Equipment! :)

I especially admire the fact that that is a 1964-D8 and it doesn't squeak!😂😂😂

Awesome Matt and Chris enjoying the cable D8 at the show great video thanks

My grandpa was a cat skinner in southern oregon for over 50 years.. he told us boys about a time when is was in going down a steep hill that he lost his brakes dropped the blade but was going so fast that when the blade hit a big hole he leap frogged over the blade dragging it behind him

Hi Chris everyone from northwest Missouri I always enjoy watching the old machine's working bud need as many theses videos as possible bud

I am always amazed at the size of the tracks on a D8 compared to the D6, even the 977K. Tha''ts a lot of bulldozer, I love the old cable lifts, effective, powerful and simple.

I love when my some of my favorite YTers collab.

You were having so much fun. Enjoy watching you work machinery.

These old girls built miles of roads. Thanks for sharing

Waw that's a great machine you done a great job on it i already know your going to paint it is a beautiful jewel 💎💎 I'm Ozzie in Waco Texas and i love you're videos😅😅

Big Boys enjoying an afternoon in the sand box! Good day for Chris to not loose the blade on the cable dozer. Like the bucket on the dragline! Great video Chris young men enjoying Your childhood dreams.

respect for the old equipment and operators.

glad you could make it up!

I love that D8 and the sound of that Turbo! Sweet music to my ears.

Like the Euclid dump truck with the Detroit.

Great video and it's good to see you boys playing in the dirt together and doing what you like together with the D8, thank you for sharing, well done Matt on the D8, Mark from Australia! 🙂👍

Chris you made the old D8 dance well done 👍👋🇨🇦

That’s a much better seat than what I had than what I had when I was younger. And I was on equipment from the early 90’s

Awww, "I could've had a D-8!" Maybe I still can... LOL! Stay well, stay safe!

That new turbo sounds good !!

YOU DID AWESOME! makes u appreciate modern day hydraulics .. That dozer was no joke, and all that work was good for it after setting all those years! Nice polished blade and cutting edge now!

HELL YESSSS !!! Let the old iron eat !!!

wow that was some awesome old machinery there.. thanks for sharing Chris

Too much fun! Amazing, not an IC chip in sight!

Love to see old exc, trackhoe , dozer al the machine works .

In my childhood in the 1970's and 1980's a company owned an ex US Army D7 cable dozer and I was able to photograph it those days.

Haven't been watching Matt's videos for a while, just haven't had the time to watch stuff that long.Nice to see he's got that old 8 going well, but come on man, flip that cutting edge!

That’s a lot of old iron.for it to be running and functioning is impressive.keep it up.kudos 👍👍👍😎😎😎

Thanks for the real pony show

Chris got on the old girl and drove it like he had been on it for years 😊

Very big boys toys, you all look like you were having a great time.😃😃😃

that ROPS needs a Gurney Bubble....or maybe we can call it a Guins Bump

Old steel, straight power. That's a good ole machine.

U got ur self a beast there matt hope u have a lot of fun with it 😎👍

That old iron was designed to move mountains, hell of a great job chris. Hopefully Diesel creek can come out have a hand with the drag line at your place. Great video sir

Glad you could make it out

I was at the show on Friday and was talking to Matt. He said that you were going to be there Saturday. Hopefully you got some drag line tips. There was alot of old guys around there on Friday. I’m sure full of knowledge . It’s a really good show to attend glad to see you could make it.

That looks like a hell of a fun "playground".

That's it we need to get a fund set up to send the blade to Curtis at Cutting Edge In Australia for a skin job!!!!

The Yearly Time how the great and little Boy's go in the Wonder playland, to see the big old Building Machines by the Work. Some have the Fortune this Machine to Drive. Diesel Creek to bring all Years a Other Old Super Machine to see! A Cat D8 Cable Dozer this Year. Wonderful Days for Yong and Old People., 😅😃

Big kids playing in dirt. I’ll bet they did the exact same thing with Tonka Toys in the sand box when they were four years old. I’ll admit I did! Good stuff. Thank you!

Pretty cool to see myself filming from your point of view towards the end. Really enjoyed watching you and Matt run the D8 saturday

Didn't take long to polish the blade! Awesome machine.

Thank you my friend

Very nice love them old girls they sure can push ❤

Diesel Creek got that thing running just in time. He almost had it end up in the bottom of the creek behind his shop.

Love these shows like how next to no one has yellow vest on and no flashing beacons on machines funny how you can see everything and everyone perfectly ok

I believe Chris could operate EVERY piece of earthmoving equipment known to man. 😉👍

The days of old live again. Diesel Creek nearly lost this one and great that is saved and back in working order. It is a beauty - fun day with friends.

I think you done very well on the old D8....Stay safe

Matt has a beast; Chris wrestled the beast.

It's a dozer derby🎉💪🚜🌞😀

I feel like a kid in the candy store watching this video! Ive never gotten a chance to operate an older cable blade set up.

It looks like Betty found a friend!❤

I bet Clint from C&C would soil his britches if that cable dozer showed up for repair or maintenance!

What a beast.

Well...There might a Cutting blade switch in the future. Just a guess tho. That HUNK OF JUNK...will prolly out survive many newer machines. It also seems Matt has addressed the right(?)Track slackness. That must have been a job and a half in itself. That must be a future video :) She is a lot Crusty yet, she is a diamond in the rough. Thanks for showing her Chris!

Man that O'l Euclid sounds AWESOME!

Awesome job. That D8 seemed to hold up amazing after Matt’s initial hiccup. You need one

Well, I like “Matt’s” D8H…, but I am pretty enamored with that TD15C. Great video, Thank you sir.

Always great to see Matt at this show, and see Chris up there as well! Matt's D8 cable dozer is sweet. She can really move some dirt!! Chris is gonna be hurting tomorrow since right now he is looking a bit uncomfortable sitting on whatever he is sitting on. OH my poor Back!! Finally Chris got his turn. The other guy with what looks like a newer model of a D8??

That D8 has a lot of life in it, it's smooth and has a lot of power....Great Vid👍👍👍👍👍👍is BG Goodman there also

Was waiting for Chris to shout out .... " I bought the Kobelco !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " . But he was too busy playing dozer....

Aways makes for awesome viewing at these shows bro, great to see Matt gave you some seat time in the D8. Now the question is will we see one at the LD18 ranch. Safe travels. Ken

That looked like a really fun day!

Looks like y’all having the time of your life slick old cable rig

Chris got his hands on Scrappy's dozer putting it through it's paces ,Matt needs to put a counter weight on the blade there's not enough weight for it to bite in , I wonder which excavator Chris bought This is the best thing for Matt"s D8 working it ,Matt did a Good Job of putting it in usable working condition well done guys

Chris you were having way too much fun on Matt’s dozer. 😄😄

It took about three minutes for her to turn pretty! Looks like she could have been making landing strips at Guadalcanal in WWII.

Those Old Dozers are pretty cool !! That cable dozer you was running , those just look like they got that Old Bull-Dog Power !! Just strong old dozers...lolol... Cool to see you running the older stuff Chris !! Nice skills to have in ya back pocket, incase you ever come across something , and are asked if ya can run it?? You can be like, well let's see here !! lolololol... I've seen ya at this place a few times over the years , I believe...lolol... But, Great as always Chris !! Have a Great Evening Man, And, On too the Next !!

60" bucket back on the Kobelco...I bet that's the one that he bought.

I love it love it love it LOVE IT!!! 👍

Cheers.

Matt’s old rusty iron getting it done outstanding

I got the chance to operate a allis Hd-11 with the cable blade that thing was a beast it felt like it would pull a mountain in front of it lol thanks for sharing

22:16 a man don't learn nothing the second time he gets kicked by a mule! Lol

Enjoyed watching the video Çhris 😊
