I agree with your assessment of what's 'art', and your appreciation of things mechanical/tools as art. For instance, last spring I bought an old Dietzgen surveyors level & tripod on ebay. After cleaning and polishing and mounting it on the tripod, and using it the first time, it sat in my living room for a couple of months as I admired it's form & function, before I finally put it away. And the next time I get it out to use, it may sit in my living room again for a while. :-)
(1) comment: It is a great pleasure to see the great engineering in these Cats. In the day, no computers just slide rules and common sense as well as an "esprit de corps" for the company. Very much missing today. On a personal note, please allow me to comment on your relationship to "senior". Having had that relationship with my father I can really appreciate it. Good luck in the series.
Your discussion of Caterpillar's use of fold-over locks where needed and lockwashers where they were not beautifully illustrates the care and logic that went into the design and engineering of these marvelous old machines. This equipment still looks as though it came from a Rolls-Royce Merlin or a Hispano-Suiza.
Definitely agree on appreciating the craftsmanship. As we all know, back then a machinist was paid REALLY well because of the precision necessary to manufacture this stuff. It's not like today where we have the aid of computer technology or you download the specs into a machine and it cuts the parts out with precision time after time. (Although that in itself is quite a skill.) They really had to put the grunt work in mentally to get each piece precise. Amazing.
I can remember when you pick up this crawler. It was a rusty mess to even look at. It won't be long till it is a running functioning crawler again. Thanks for allowing us to join you on this rebuild.....
Love the channel and the videos! Thank you One comment on lockwire. I’d love to see the twisted ends folded in on themselves. I’ve managed to stick twisted ends of lockwire in various parts of my upper appendages as an aircraft maintenance guy. God it hurts. And they’re always dirty! Again, thank you for sharing your immense experience this subject! Cheers from the Eastern Arctic of Canada.
Thoese old engineers of the day were truly brilliant. The mechanics of their designs are usually stupid simple, but its the brilliance behind making something that works so well, so simply. Like you have said, its art.
The local Cat dealer is about two miles from home. I would love to buy a case of Cat yellow rattle can paint. I could sneak into your shop late at night and paint the components a nice shiny coat of yellow before you ever woke up. 😆 I love what’s your doing. Except for not painting
Interesting about engaging 2 gears at once. Back in the early 80's I had car trouble with a Triumph 2000. I'd backed onto my drive and parked the car. Next time I came to drive it, I put my foot on the clutch, started the engine, and tried to engage first gear. It wouldn't go in. Thinking I was in neutral, I let the clutch up and I lurched backward. Ooops! Trying the other gears, I found it would go into ( I think ) only third. fortunately that was enough to get me to a garage to get it fixed. The problem was that one of the lock screws had come loose allowing the selector fork to slip on the shaft. No lock wires, gearbox out to tighten a screw.
Reminds me of my first car at about the same time. 66 El Camino three on the tree. Whole car was worn out and it was easy to get the linkage on the column in two gears at once. The transmission wasn't in two gears, but the linkage was in one gear while the transmission was in another. I carried a screwdriver to put it back.
It's nice to see the quality and craftsmanship that once was what built our country it's just a shame so little anymore has this quality and american made pride behind it thanks for the great content 👍
You should have been a text school or h.s. shop teacher. I've learned a lot from this series of videos. I've learned about D2 cats but also a lot about mechanical assemblies in general.
I’m glad to hear that someone else had a problem with the lock wire I have not commented on it but as part of my job I have put in miles of it It gets my eyelid twitching LOL Love your channel
"Desktop Conversation Piece"........ Guy walks in - "Ooooh, what's that?"..... Squatch's response [inner voice says let's play a little game] : "What do you THINK it is?" I don't know about everyone else - but I am very excited to see it on the swamper tracks! I sure do love putting them back together CLEAN. It makes everything SO much easier!
@@squatch253 I must admit, though. I enjoy the smell of the rancid gear oil. Always reminds me of my childhood, climbing all over grandpa's leaking, dead tractors. :-)
I had an 1800 oliver that i had a shifting fork repair done, before the repair it was easy to shift from 3rd to reverse but 3rd would stay engaged making a horrible grinding noise trying to get it in reverse, after the repair it would still do the same but only if you went too fast and in a certain pattern. I also had a Ferguson TO35 that if you got to aggressive shifting from reverse into 1st you would send the 1st gear to far forward and you couldn't pull it back with the shift lever and had to remove the fill plug and reach in with a pry bar to pull it back.
Don't let anyone tell you the shift fork assembly is not art because it is. The other transmission case would make an appropriate display stand for it in a museum. But fold over locks would not hurt and take very little time to install plus you love doing it. I always appreciate finding cotter pins and and safety wire curled over to prevent cuts to my hands. BTW, I hope your employer knows they have a real gem working for them.
"Let's see someone else's eye twitch for a change!" An absolute work of art accompanied by a narrative of exquisite poetry.....the only thing missing is the background music of say....Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune.....! Best wishes and good health my friend.
Another good one Toby! Art is in the eye of the beholder, and as a desk ornament, I don't think I'd even refresh the paint! It is a thing of beauty though! Thank you for taking the time to both video your work and for sharing it! :-)
On your safety wire, it is nice to bend the end back to create a round end instead of the sharp cut tip left exposed. That way it doesn't shred you if you have to move your hand close to the wire at any point of the future. Doing a double bend more like what you see in a paper clip protects more but not always practical or possible. As a mechanic on aircraft, you learn that really fast or get shredded badly until you do.
Thanks for all the details and background information that you provide! Your enthusiasm shows through and makes watching your videos a real pleasurable learning experience. I am a retired mechanical engineer who spent too many years designing in an office. I am now enjoying the satisfaction that comes with working with my hands and learning from skilled technicians like you who are masters with your hands! Keep up the great work on your channel! The lingering question I have is, how do you keep track of the hundreds, if not thousands of parts that come out and eventually need to go back into your machines?
I work on KC135's; (the engines specifically). EVERYTHING on them is safety wired. some bolts can be a real bear to wire. There's definitely an art to it!
It is just like jewelry. I remember taking a Deere apart an I think there was 14 balls in the interlock, I pulled the shift rail out and it sounded like rain in the transmission. Great videos it’s getting closer.
Man you would make such a great heavy duty mechanics teacher! They way you break things down and explain it makes it interesting. I'm definitely going to be getting a membership in the near future
Another reason the fasteners in the bellhousing only have lock washers is the clutch brake is in two halves so it can be replaced without splitting the tractor.
Being that I am a car guy it is so cool to see the bowels of a cat! being a mechanic I guess everything mechanical is interesting, especially the way you explain it. keep it up and God Bess.
I agree with your assertion that a good operator will notice something that instantly fails no matter how minute the failure. Having said that 40 plus years around equipment I know that things can creep up till one day I look around wondering where the vibration came from m
Love the bell housing fold over lock explanation with the bolts. Definitely remember that from tear down love the attention to detail all around Squatch! Still trying to convince myself I don’t need one or 5 of these after tuning in to watch your videos thanks for making me love these little machines! Love your work and attention to detail on everything never want that eye to twitch:-)
It is mechanically beautiful and it is quite artistically well built almost every part of these dozer/tractors is or gives /lends itself to artistic works of mechanical art
The 2nd and reverse shift fork lock (safety) wire makes my eye twitch but that’s the aircraft mechanic in me. It could loosen but probably not and not enough to matter if it did.
I saw some old parts that were coated in cosmeline and I took them out to see what they were and I now understand why you enjoying opening parts from cosmeline
That is a fine looking transmission! I think you should have put sealer on those cup plugs though. If you don't those things so many times wind up sweating oil over time especially on a vehicle that gets worked hard where it heats and cools a lot. I prefer blue loctite but the aviation grade gasket sealant works too.
I’ve been a viewer for only a few episodes. Happy to see someone with “it in your blood”. Great videos look forward to every episode. Thank you for posting.
On the lock wire - all except one was OK (but not perfect), and the one that wasn't OK would only allow it to back off about 1/4 turn, so it was good enough. For all of those that want to know how to install lock wire correctly, AgentJayz has 4 sequential videos on how to do it correctly. The videos are about making correct lock wire installation on jet engines - which need perfect installation. The first one is th-cam.com/video/OwFjUX6SaY8/w-d-xo.html, you can follow links from there.
I guess it can shift into two at the same time, don't know how that would act though. I had a samurai that the transfer would let. the shift lever slide between the rods and you were locked in what ever gear it was in or going into at that time until you pulled the shifter out and reset it
Like Squatch said. I could just sit and look at it for hours. Such a shame to have to cover it all up. Where it can't be admired. Although, we do have some exellent video 👍
The only suggestion I can offer is to bend the twisty end of the lockwire back upon itself so it doesn't catch the back of your hand the next time you're in there.
You mentioned the shifter assembly would make a good art piece with a new coat of yellow paint on the castings. Why did Cat bother painting the castings in the first place when the geartrain would have been slinging enough oil to coat everything in the compartment?
Quick question. By answering a comment below, I got to think, the transmission shaft that got twisted, might originated from a locked up transmission in two gears. After some jerking to try to get it to go... Just a thought??🤔🤔 J. F.🇨🇦
Sometime back I was putting the hubs back on my ‘51 Land Rover, about to fold some locks over the corner of a bolt hex, when I heard this fluttering .... I paused looked around, nothing, reached back in with the grips, louder, still nothing, and when I folded it over that corner the noise was deafening ...... I always wondered what it was ..... now I know. It was Squatch’s eyelid. 😂
Great build so far. Question, on the 4 bolts in the bell housing,2 coarse and 2 fine, why are they like that? Not 4 the same type...thank you in advance..
Do you think they left the fold over locks off the clutch brake/input shaft nuts so that replacing the clutch brake through the clutch cover was easier?
I wonder if any Czechoslovakian firearms engineers worked on a D2. The vz52 pistol slide locks the breech in almost the exact same way, except that the rollers are little cylinders and not balls.
21:14 looks like it's time to break out the new chemical resistant gloves again! Nice episode Toby, really enjoying all the extra work you're putting into your videos this year. The behind the scenes stuff it awesome, and well worth the small membership fee. I have a feeling your dream may be in the right track for the channel to take off, and maybe be able to finally leave the Ford garage in the future! If you take a look at Andrew Camarata's channel, he's over 800k and is making roughly 40k per month! That's more than a lot of people make in a year!
You should do a video showing the process you use to clean parts....I spend hours cleaning parts and can't ever seem to get them that clean. Are you using a parts washer and wire wheel?
Nice assembly! My question has 2 parts. "Because this dozer is not of the high speed type, how do the shift rails obtain lubrication?" I don't see an oil slinger in the assembly. "So how much lubricating oil is installed into the case before operation?" I know that this step is still quite far in the future, but I am curious NOW!! LOL... Thanks.
Still possible even with interlocking balls on rails. Modern over the road truck manual trans use same interlock balls and notched rails in all 3 system. (note) It is very very rare to ever see this happen but I've seen this. Seen interlock balls just break up, never hurt shift plate or rails
@@squatch253 The problem with that channel is that he has years and years of deep dives into turbine engines,with related stuff like jet boats in New Zealand. Along with some considerable references to the theoretical stuff. You get interested,he has many many hours of neat stuff. Your father will have to drag you away from the monitor,unless he too gets interested. Enjoy . The two of you have kindred approaches. Either do it right or don't do it at all. It is appreciated, and Jay's videos on lockwiring are worth watching. All the best.
Is it just because anti seize is messy or is there other reasons you do not use it ? I also agree it looks like art to me also. Thanks for sharing it with us..
I noticed you indexed the clutch brake plates a quarter turn, is this to facilitate changing them down the road rather than having to fish the bottom one under the shaft?
Glad to find somebody else that doesn't care much for anti seize. It seems to me that it most always doesn't the opposite of what its name implies, especially when used on devices intended to be manipulated with your hands like cover hold down knobs. After the stuff dries out, you can barely turn those knobs with your hands anymore.
Squatch253 It seems to be the worst on exhaust parts to me. I've gotten broken temp sensor probe tubes out of GE exhaust transition sections by welding nuts on the tube and unscrewing them only to find nicely copper coated threads on the tubes once they were out. It just seems to dry up and turn into concrete thread locker. Hope your head doesn't smart too much after that whack it took! Always remember to stay out of the "line of fire"! That's good old railroad training!
i got a question about the guide blocks. Why you not using the locking D tent block that will keeps you from shifting two gears? As an safety stand port for the locking one would have been better and safer for equipment and operator. i would use the new style blocks but its your build love it any way
Another great video! Just love seeing new/cleaned parts going back together. Is there a flat spot or detent on the end of that interlock shaft that aligns the arm to the correct position?
The craftsmanship is why these pieces of equipment survived as long as it has.
Thumbs up! Tree stumps are shuddering at the thought of another D2 attached to the "Root Hook" at the compound.
Cosmolinenee goodness!! Hahaha! Three cheers for Cosmoline on NOS!

At an air show I laid on the ground and looked up into the wheel well of a B-52. Same emotion as looking into that transmission. Art.

For me, it's better than art... besides looking like a piece of art, it's functional.
Most art has little more real function than gathering dust.
Like Squatch said. I could just sit and look at it for hours. Such a shame to have to cover it all up. Where it can't be admired. Although, we do have some exellent video 👍

NIce job Toby ...
What weight is the D2 just as a tractor? I have a photo of a 1942 model at the Royal Welsh Agri show back in the 70's and it looks a small crawler.
I wonder if any Czechoslovakian firearms engineers worked on a D2. The vz52 pistol slide locks the breech in almost the exact same way, except that the rollers are little cylinders and not balls.
I just assumed the clutch brake pads didn’t have fold over locks to make replacement easier without splitting the tractor if necessary
I think your view makes more sense given that other bolts in the bellhousing have locks on them.
Would you and the shift rail assembly like some time alone? Lol I'm the same way 👍
21:14 looks like it's time to break out the new chemical resistant gloves again! Nice episode Toby, really enjoying all the extra work you're putting into your videos this year.

Lock wiring? Wish you would explain that process. Love your videos.
A channel called AgentJayZ explains aviation lockwiring at considerable length. He is just as meticulous as Toby.
@@squatch253 The problem with that channel is that he has years and years of deep dives into turbine engines,with related stuff like jet boats in New Zealand. Along with some considerable references to the theoretical stuff.

Good stuff
I noticed you indexed the clutch brake plates a quarter turn, is this to facilitate changing them down the road rather than having to fish the bottom one under the shaft?
@@squatch253 Thanks, Thats a very good point as well, I doubt it will leak with as good of a job on the rebuild your doing. Keep up the good work!

At 9:22 it sounds like your head is in a transmission case.......;)
Glad to find somebody else that doesn't care much for anti seize. It seems to me that it most always doesn't the opposite of what its name implies, especially when used on devices intended to be manipulated with your hands like cover hold down knobs. After the stuff dries out, you can barely turn those knobs with your hands anymore.

It seems to be the worst on exhaust parts to me. I've gotten broken temp sensor probe tubes out of GE exhaust transition sections by welding nuts on the tube and unscrewing them only to find nicely copper coated threads on the tubes once they were out. It just seems to dry up and turn into concrete thread locker.
Hope your head doesn't smart too much after that whack it took! Always remember to stay out of the "line of fire"! That's good old railroad training!
i got a question about the guide blocks. Why you not using the locking D tent block that will keeps you from shifting two gears? As an safety stand port for the locking one would have been better and safer for equipment and operator. i would use the new style blocks but its your build love it any way
Another great video! Just love seeing new/cleaned parts going back together. Is there a flat spot or detent on the end of that interlock shaft that aligns the arm to the correct position?
On those lock wires have you ever seen any broken when you took apart something but the bolt was still tight or was loose?
I might buy one of those "desktop art" pieces if youi start doing that . :)
Well done
Do you prefer a clockwise or anti-clockwise twist on locking wire?
That’s a voluminous case to say the least. When u are all done, what kind of tran oil u use, and how much? A lot Im assuming?
