I had tears in my eyes when you shut it off for the last time 18 years of hard work and faithful service

I just finished my last full overhaul. Feb1-june29 full rebuild on a d8t fmc1102. Front to back top to bottom. Rebuilt engine, torque, all the pumps, motors, trans, complete undercarriage including bogey pins, pivot shaft, and hardbar. All cylinders rebuilt and already back to work.

Before I lost my dad, this was his passion of a job. And that passion sure has influenced me.

Great video , as an owner of a recycling company I love to to see companies that give machinery extra life by various levels of refurbishment. I love to repair rather than replace even though big business makes that very difficult with so many parts being replacement only with no service kits anymore . Repair, reuse and recycle 👍

19 yrs of service is impressive since they live a hard life.

Listening to all that hydraulic fluid drain, now I have to pee 😂

Man it's one thing doing a good job for your customer but the main thing is how you can tell your guys thoroughly enjoy working for you and with you!!!

Enjoy your energy and enthusiasm while sharing your work

We used the Ingersoll Rand 3/4" hose unit to air off the dirt on our construction eqiupment; in and out. works great.

It's amazing that the size and weight of a D10, just how narrow the tracks are. You would think that it would sink to the belly in soft dirt.

So boys looks like fun!, everything has an end, don't be sad when you shut it down, it's done its work. A tip on stuck hydraulic fittings you might not know.(I see you undoing that fuel line with a cheater pipe) take an appropriately sized BFH and/or a long punch if need be and wack the flat face of the fittings a few times and they typically come loose without the cheater pipe. It usually works great for those lines up under someplace you cannot just quite reach and apply power or those stuck excavator boom lines at the end of the tubes. Both JIC and ORS. If it's rusty or cross threaded or whatever by the previous guy...you're on your own! Cheers

I really like this kind of video it's very informative

Hey Quinton !!! Nice job of getting the fuel tank off with NO injuries !!! 🙃🙂😊 Hope it works well for your Customer !!! 🤔🙄🤠😎👀👀👍👍👍👍👍

Prayers for the D10 she had a hard working life 🙏

Looking good Q👍

Good job guys

Neat! Thanks for taking the time to film, edit and share with us, I'm physically disabled and can't do what you do, so I really appreciate the effort to let us into your world :)

Love to see some caterpillar wrenchin 🤘👍

Good job 😊

The tracks have been road hard and put up wet, lol 😹😹😹😹😹

Great share.

Looks like it could use a good sand blasting 😊

Yea I want to more like that nice video

The new killdozer is looking good 😂

Cool video,Thumbs up

That’s pretty cool man

Good Job

Quinton get one of those new Insta 360 Go 3 cams, you can wear in on your chest or hat, and there's magnetic attachment modules for attaching to stuff -- free up that other hand of yours. Casey sent me. Sub'd.

cool stuff

It’s always sad to watch you tear these old girls apart but many more will be saved

Most customers would have brought that machine in for a CAT certified rebuild.

Good to see the Boss came up knowing how to do the actual work rather than one that. Is my daddy owned the company and now I do, so you do the work and I just collect the money! Because the fathers that don’t make their children learn everything from the ground up. Are setting them up for failure!!!

How do you price your parts that you pull? is a percentage of a new part? or is there like a chart for used parts in whatever condition they are in at the time?

I want to see a SUPERBIRD series!

😉👍

May I ask what is actually wrong with the D10 to be putting her in to parts? She's running but I'm not familiar with dozers so I wouldn't know a thing. From Richard Gatchell from all the way in NEW ZEALAND

Nice need one of thoes and some ar 500 steel plates

sand blast or laser clean may be quicker ?

These videos are awsome. Get a magnetic camera mount and a tripod and these would be incredible.

Will you take the old tank back and repair it?

Thanks for sharing Where are you located?

Not to be critical, but you should have a collection of hydraulic hose fittings and caps to cap off your hoses so you don’t loose and leak fluids.

Cannibalizing old equipment is worse to fix working equipment but this was cool to watch😊

Flexzilla 3/8 stubby impact working hard lol

SO HOW MUCH DID THAT PART SELL FOR?

It's called Those who stand and wait also serve

i saw you with casey i learned about casey from matts off recovey ialready like what i see

Is the old tank repairable that's on that tractor this one's going on

Why am I emotionally attached to old steel?

Get a head mount for the camera or a tripod

Try putting a vacuum on the fuel inlet when taking off small lines 😊

Just curious. What took that Cat out of service as 'end of working life'? Is it just uneconomical to overhaul as a working machine, or was there something more 'Cat'astrophic that happened to it to make it uneconomical to repair? Thank you.

Do you get the used tank back to refurbish

Use hot water to get decals off

Can we say shes a organ donor so that others can maybe live on...

Why part it out when you just put some money into it and sell it as a running machine .

That machine will make a nice organ donor

okay firs time watching your Chanel this one on the Dozer Down and not to impressed with some of your calls on the fuel tank customer say has one down with a hole or what ever in it's fuel tank as there not allowed to repair there fuel tank you you have one but upon taking it off you fined it has had a repair carried out you say its good and your sending it to your customer now either they had a board meting and changed the rules around fuel tanks or there was none or your sending it with the hope they don't see it or you were banging your gums for some thing to say and do so there in lies the thumbs down but you more than likely like all other ones i watch can't be bothered to read comments as there is to meany or to long like this one so Cheers and i may watch some more if i can get round the tall stories bit

I know this video is 9 months old, but what is the logic in tearing down the machines for parts? If it is a working machine why can't it go back to the field?

And now its dead in the shop, good thinking

Brother, you don't have to explain every little thing , some people have imaginations. just saying

I came here from Casey Ladelle's channel- a couple of comments and please do not think I'm a back seat quarterback as I am just making observations: I hate to see such a Big Giant of a machine scrapped - but as you said - it will live on in other machines. The strap in 8:47 where you were lifting the part up- it looked frayed- my question is how often if ever do you replace these? The reason I'm asking is where I worked at we had a safety person and she went around and had to inspect theses straps - we were supposed to look at the strap every month our selves and attach a different color cable ties each month. If the strap was frayed then we would have to toss the old strap in the garbage and purchase a new one - they would not give us the old one to take home. Also- I see that you are using a grinder to strip off the old paint. I don't know how much you painting you have to do but have you considered using dry ice? Dry ice is very effective in removing paint and other materials - it will not harm the environment as it melts when it drops on the floor.

too much TALK

All talk almost no action, moving on.

Bloody hell - you said you're going to go ahead 50 times but only went ahead 10 times. Too much crap talk mate, you say everything 10 times. Once is enough. And for good measure, the saying "going to go ahead" is a tautology of the worst kind present only in the American bastardisation of the English language.

Why didn't you just use a wiggins fast fill gun & hose to drain the fuel?

I dare you to pull the fast fill line full of fuel! Ha

How in the world did you get all this knowledge?
