One of my old mates put in a lot of work with our 8th Army repairing tanks all the way through 1945 - then to add insult to injury spent most of 1946 throwing them into the Med - along with brand new Hispano-Suza aircraft engines - whole shiploads of the stuff. That's what our civil service does with surplus - it would break their hearts to see you get these scrappers running - and today, any moving object sold for scrap is mercilessly torched before it leaves the depot. It's enough to make strong men weep.
Great job guys!! I’ve been a mechanic for over 55 years, I am really impressed with all you guys!! The way you get along is the only way to achieve success, with each and every project!! Thanks again, Vic!!
About 10+ years ago I went for a job interview at a military base maintenance facility, and the amount of parked equipment waiting for repairs was a real eye opener.
i love these video's they can be 24 hours long and ill still enjoy them . the amount of work you all put into it and the humor is just awesome . This channel and the people on the video are just awesome and a example of how you should run a business , still have fun and be incredibly fair towards customers
I thought the quote of the video was "This is what happens when you click buy on the internet" LOL I had no doubt you would be able to get it put together. Looking forward to the next chapter. Thanks for sharing.
My cousin went to West Point back in the 1960’s and we used track layers for farming in California. He was the only student there that had any track layer experience.
Imagine the poor sob that bought this dozer at an auction thinking he could drop this off at his local dealer & only have to spend a few 31000 to get it going. Clint has all the experience, has or is familiar with getting the parts, & is doing all the labor at his internal cost. If you had to pay full retail for labor and parts it might be cheaper to buy a new dozer.😳
One time when I was working on forklifts we had a customer that had a fleet of all the same Hyster 155’s We ordered a new Perkins 1004 for one and it got stuck in shipping for months. In the meantime I ended up robing the trans, hyd. Tank, differential and a whole lot of other parts (like your dozer) by the time the engine came in I had a list like yours. The good news was once I put it all together they had a new used forklift 😂
One more comment : I Can't believe that cab jack safety support is $900 !!?? Unbelievable !!! They get you ! Don't they.? That was just one of my smack my forehead moments ! Then fades into a scratch my head : )
Being a FOMOCO driver I'm qualified to say this. But do the words Fix, or Repair Daily come to mind to anyone else besides myself? Clint, I'm glad to see in the opening minutes of the video that you had Kevin in a safe place to where it was out of the way if anything happened to go wrong. Looks like you might of opened up a can of "Oh Sh!t", possibly with this one. Except I've got a strong feeling that it's gonna workout to your advantage before the books are closed on it.
To troubleshoot the source of a problem is one thing, to sort through a myriad of other peoples problems is on a whole different set of skills, anything you looked at you’d have to ask your self questions about do I need to check that and let it go only to be bitten in the behind down the track, this is a classic from You guys
Years ago I thought I was a genius finding this roller that looked like a great deal. I bought it couldn’t wait to get back to the shop and get started getting it back to working condition. Well under further review I must have had blinders on it was missing parts and must have been worked on by a 6 year old. After many wasted hours and to many bloody knuckles I completely lost my mind dragged it out on the shop and started smashing it with an excavator and eventually hauled it in for scrap lol
Clint, for safety you should put a tack weld on those bars that support the cab to be safe, Clint I don't miss your videos, So good luck with the doze. I can't stand to see a grown man cry

Hey Clinton it's terrible how hopeless the Military are at equipment maintenance ,it's apparent they carry no spare parts into war zones,still it's a win for you and your viewers ,I really enjoy getting these machines back into working life with you and Kevin and the boys Great content mate . Cheers Kym Adelaide
You guys are something special! This one looks like it will be EPIC. You have hooked me, anxiously awaiting the next installment. 879 hours (if the meter works). Keep this great entertainment coming, was smiling thru the entire video!
Clinton your knowledge is priceless !! As I've said before ? It's not just what you know ? But with what you bring to the table? You lift everyone around you !! Very Impressive !
I was a heavy equipment mechanic for USMC they robbed and stole parts from outher equipment to get it off the dead line and we borrowed parts from outher units at night ,dont tell any one !
Good thing is, that that’s not your first 850 to put that basket case back together. I guess anything that doesn’t look original will need to be checked to see if someone meddled with it. I don’t know what’s worse the mechanics or the operators in the military. Either seem to be able to break an anvil with a rubber hammer. 😂😂
I'm always amazed how interesting it is to watch you guys work on these dozers. I hope whoever buys the wrecker sends you some epic videos of it in action.
Well Kevin, I'm impressed, I didn't think it was possible to do a wheelie with that monster wrecker, but you managed to pull one through the entire building 😳😱😂 Clint, gotta say, you are a far more ambitious guy than I am!! If it was me, I think this one would have been the next parts dozer🤔 Good luck!!
You guys got this no matter how many default stickers you come across. No job to big for the C&C crew. Is there a possibility that they robbed the good final drive and drive shaft off of this machine and stuffed all the broken parts back in this one off the other? I worked at Fort Wainwright Alaska for 8 years for a contractor doing aviation stuff. They also have infantry with tons of ground vehicles. Borrow parts to keep things going. Replace later. Thanks for another great video guys. Looking forward to the next on this dozer. Take care and stay safe.
The military is GREAT for using one piece of equipment to keep others running. A LONG TIME in Vietnam we were on the DMZ and never got parts Old rolling stock became a parts bin. Sad it still goes on today. We need to fund our heros better.
Thanks for some great videos and optimism bringing these old babies back to life! To be politically correct I am always amazed and dumbfounded at how folks could ignore and put the parts on wrong adding to the demise to the such a wonderful machine
Quite the puzzle you got yourselves into. I hope you bought a lottery ticket that day you got that broken bolt backed out with the punch. Look forward to the next video on the old girl. Keep up the great job ol boys 😁👍
The next time you have an allen screw hole strip out, try pressing or hammering a torx bit in the hole. An easy-out may get it but they go in so shallow that the end of them usually breaks off.
Slight case of a can of worms there eh Clint!!!! sure got your hands full with this one.. Gonna have to make a clip on weight pack for your Het-Wreck to keep those steers on the ground!! that 850 was a heavy gal!
“NOT MY DOZER” 🙄😏😉, good night, the cost of parts it would probably cost 50X’s the original cost of the dozer to build it ground up buying it by parts. I found over the years in service work that the toughest part of it was to figure out what the guy(s) did that were there ahead of you working on the equipment before I got there, some times it was like “ bring your brain to work with you day” was optional, and they didn’t exercise the option, fun video, at least for me. Thanks for the tag along vid, looking forward to part 2.
Cannibalization always has been a problem in the military. When I was in Vietnam one of our Huey's went down for maintenance and a special part had to be ordered from the states. The longer it sat on maintenance row the more parts were cannibalized, until the aircraft could no longer be returned to a flight worthy status, so it was scrapped.
One of my old mates put in a lot of work with our 8th Army repairing tanks all the way through 1945 - then to add insult to injury spent most of 1946 throwing them into the Med - along with brand new Hispano-Suza aircraft engines - whole shiploads of the stuff.

Jack up the radiator cap and install a new dozer!
All the good dozers they left in Afghanistan
Great videos guys
Now all of those left behind are looking like this one.
Kevin is laughing ‘cause he’s thinkin’ “my Boss is really in deep kimchee with this one!”
Great job guys!! I’ve been a mechanic for over 55 years, I am really impressed with all you guys!! The way you get along is the only way to achieve success, with each and every project!! Thanks again, Vic!!
When you catch it, let us know why they put the right side track on backwards.
About 10+ years ago I went for a job interview at a military base maintenance facility, and the amount of parked equipment waiting for repairs was a real eye opener.
for the Air Force it's call VDP vehicle down for parts some of the vehicles are sent out because of lack of training
What a mess thanks for sharing 🎉🎉😅
Govt is great at fucking shit up at it. I’m warming peace 99% of it has no repercussions if you fuck it up not like the civilian world.
Must be 3rd shop in an Army post
Why fix it when taxpayers can buy new ones.
I can’t think of any guys better to save that tractor and put it all back together. You guys are amazing love your channel. Keep up the great content.
i love these video's they can be 24 hours long and ill still enjoy them . the amount of work you all put into it and the humor is just awesome . This channel and the people on the video are just awesome and a example of how you should run a business , still have fun and be incredibly fair towards customers
I personally like the long videos. That's a monster of a project. Someone, somewhere is going to be running an awesome dozer. Good luck.
I thought the quote of the video was "This is what happens when you click buy on the internet" LOL I had no doubt you would be able to get it put together. Looking forward to the next chapter. Thanks for sharing.
I have a feeling it's going to be the gift that just keeps on giving, AHHH!!
Just love watching the interaction between Mr C&C & Kevin, while being professional, it’s so entertaining. Power to you guys
Always enjoy the problem solving. Mason quite a helper. Love Kevin’s attitude😊😊😊😊
My cousin went to West Point back in the 1960’s and we used track layers for farming in California. He was the only student there that had any track layer experience.
I like it all, I'm a fix-it guy, retired, 83 years old so I love it........
I am in the same boat, at 81, and I love the long videos
Yup, it's a fixer upper!
Mason is a genuinely good guy, good mechanic and just a good nature. Clint, you and Mama have a real gem!!
Mason isn’t their son. Just a friend of his son’s Tucker and Hunter.
When the video is interesting like this one nobody minds the length of it keep pumping them out
It may be missing a lot of parts but it still looks in good condition
Nope everything is paperless now 😂😂
Clint you need some counterweights on the front of the wrecker!
... a LARGE water bumper. 😊
I am always amazed at how much effort is involved in bringing these beasts back to life. Awesome efforts so far.
Imagine the poor sob that bought this dozer at an auction thinking he could drop this off at his local dealer & only have to spend a few 31000 to get it going.
Clint has all the experience, has or is familiar with getting the parts, & is doing all the labor at his internal cost.
If you had to pay full retail for labor and parts it might be cheaper to buy a new dozer.😳
@@TomLongusa Yeah, there are only 1/2 million dollars new
Love your optimism and unrelenting desires to bring life back to these marvelous machines
You all have all the fun. Thanks for sharing.
1449 that's a hell of a guess 😅
I thought I missed an upload. Says uploaded 3 days ago
Thanks for the video. It's amazing when you have extra units that are down get used for spare parts
Nothing like turning a parts unit into a reliable, running unit. Thankfully C&C is up to the task. Hopefully it does the new owner good.
😅makes that monster tow truck a little light in the front loafers

Not my dozer not my dozer :)
Working on a parts donor always is fun, especially one from the military. It always is a big can of surprising worms... 😜
Taking a big chance with all new parts and possibly major broken parts. Love your confidence. Very interesting.!!
Ran when parked, needs tires to pass inspection 😉

I have a good feeling that you initially figured the costs to repair complete to sell. So, you will profit nicely!! 🙂
Good to see your dad there getting things done right!
She's a beaut, Clark!
Good thing you worked on a couple of those.
After a closer inspection, it would seem that the right front is a little low on air and that should fix it good as new 😮😂
You do know that you can use a torx head bit on alan head bolts. You can usually tap them in far enough to get them to start.

Look at the billions of dollars of military equipment they abandoned when they fled Afghanistan with their tail between their legs!
You guys are something special! This one looks like it will be EPIC. You have hooked me, anxiously awaiting the next installment. 879 hours (if the meter works). Keep this great entertainment coming, was smiling thru the entire video!
Clinton your knowledge is priceless !! As I've said before ? It's not just what you know ? But with what you bring to the table? You lift everyone around you !! Very Impressive !
Just like throwing dice in Vegas. Fingers crossed she runs. Great Video. The humor is top notch.
I was a heavy equipment mechanic for USMC they robbed and stole parts from outher equipment to get it off the dead line and we borrowed parts from outher units at night ,dont tell any one !

Bend a crowbar in a sandbox!
Something to try on those small broken bolts is an engraver. Ive had alot of success. Great video guys!
I'm always amazed how interesting it is to watch you guys work on these dozers. I hope whoever buys the wrecker sends you some epic videos of it in action.
You guys will get this beast running just fine, you all are that good I have faith in ya'll ❤
Awesome, another week end who start with your team and your project, always a pleasure 👍👍👍👍
So why buy all those new parts when you can do just like the Army, just borrow from another machine ! I do so enjoy your channel!
I feel like we saw this video before and I thought you mentioned a fire truck video this morning?
Late to the video, but, EXCELLENT,EXCELLENT,EXCELLENT. I can’t get enough! A thousand thank you’s.
Well Kevin, I'm impressed, I didn't think it was possible to do a wheelie with that monster wrecker, but you managed to pull one through the entire building 😳😱😂
Clint, gotta say, you are a far more ambitious guy than I am!! If it was me, I think this one would have been the next parts dozer🤔
Good luck!!
There goes Kevin, givin everyone the clap!!!!😅😅😅😅😅😅
I beg to differ about jet fuel availability. We country folks call it kerosene. I just happen to make it where I work.
Boy I luv when a plan comes together. Keep up the good work
Another Military Parts Bin Machine, Have fun LOL
Haha you may need to build a front weight bracket for that beast of a wrecker. Nice work guys!
Can’t wait till episode 3, thank you for your videos.
Not my dozer absolutely hilarious 😂
I dont know how I missed this one. Nice job, guys
Really enjoyed this video you guys are very interesting to watch !!😊😊😊

Hey Clinton, just fyi I had to go to your channel to find today's video, still shows it was posted Tuesday.
Yea
I messed it all up
👍 All good, loved the video!
Thanks for some great videos and optimism bringing these old babies back to life! To be politically correct I am always amazed and dumbfounded at how folks could ignore and put the parts on wrong adding to the demise to the such a wonderful machine
Quite the puzzle you got yourselves into. I hope you bought a lottery ticket that day you got that broken bolt backed out with the punch. Look forward to the next video on the old girl. Keep up the great job ol boys 😁👍
As a suggestion, we use an air engraving tool to remove broken bolts 👍
That poor dozer reminds me of things I saw, when I drove a delivery truck in Detroit back in the 80s
You guys know your John Deere products. Excellent watching your presentations. Stay Safe!!!
The next time you have an allen screw hole strip out, try pressing or hammering a torx bit in the hole. An easy-out may get it but they go in so shallow that the end of them usually breaks off.
I like The greenery I guess I have to pay more attention to your channel
Very impressive depth of knowledge guys.
More fault finding 101! Great stuff. Mason learning from real professionals.
I like the new stars and stripes hat.
Slight case of a can of worms there eh Clint!!!! sure got your hands full with this one.. Gonna have to make a clip on weight pack for your Het-Wreck to keep those steers on the ground!! that 850 was a heavy gal!

826 hours. Looks like the right side track is on backwards too.
That truck is amazing.
When I first saw your old parts dozer I was wondering if the weed was weed until you got a closer picture.
What a mess! But with you and your team everything will be fine. Thanks for sharing!
That dozer will run again !!! It might take a few videos, but it will live again
I'm going to guess 850 hrs
Cannibalization always has been a problem in the military. When I was in Vietnam one of our Huey's went down for maintenance and a special part had to be ordered from the states. The longer it sat on maintenance row the more parts were cannibalized, until the aircraft could no longer be returned to a flight worthy status, so it was scrapped.
Your tax dollars at work.
ENJOYED watching .
i used to help the city mech work on the van pelts fire engines in 80's i was a vol fighter fighter
❤❤❤ a real working crew 😊😊😊
I'm going to guess there is 1052 hours on this unit... Nice project piece..
always just lovely fixing other people's uh-oh's
You can tell Kevin it's not ME fault, it's DEFAULT!!! I'm her all week folks, tip the waitstaff and try the veal !!!! 😅😅😅
A real jewel you got there Clint. Hoping you can make a profit after it's all said and done. Have fun guys. Iam guessing at 910 hours on this dozer.
Awesome video thanks for your time and consideration top job top team 🚜🚜🚜🚜
Love that burn out!! lol ,,Coffees on!!Cheers!;-)!
