- We head out to pick up a 1972 Cat D7F from southern Indiana. I had preordered an overweight permit but the dozer was way heavier than I had anticipated for some reason. Watch the video to see why we thought it was so heavy.

Send it down here we can push with betty!
About the same vintage I believe!
@@C_CEQUIPMENT hopefully less problems lol
Sounds like a great idea
I ran these in the army in the 80's and hauled them manuals said 52700# if I remember correctly for a ripper d7f and 49-50000# for ad7f winch dozer
The people that could run that is getting thin I’m sure. Met some dozer operators that have never seen a machine with steering clutches and brakes. Lot today can’t use one without hydrostat or gps. Love those machines. My uncle has an old d7 with a straight shift tranny not powershift.
Nice Dozer the D7F one of the first I encountered working for a caterpillar dealer back in the late 70's
Thanks for letting me ride along !
Thanks for watching
This video brought back a lot of memories for me..I was an instructor for these at Cp Grafton ND for the Army National Guard. Ran many hours on the D7 teaching students how to operate them. Those were my Army days I wish I had back!
That was an enjoyable 'ride along', with my early morning coffee, thankyou!
Great weather you have there for this time of year,... good stuff for hauling this day.
Thanks again!
Thanks
Love the older machines almost loveable😂
Officer Hoover is going to stop you. And give you a few safety awards. LOL 😆 🤣 😂 😹
Enjoyed the ride! Definitely keep making these videos, thanks for posting!! 👍👍
Watching this one with my 5 year old daughter like we do most mornings around this time. We like the old iron. Enjoying your videos. Looks like your shop would be a fun place to work.
Thanks
We had a bunch of these when I was in the Seabees, can't kill them.
Another great deal and cannot wait to see more about this machine??
There is another video coming out this weekend on it
@@C_CEQUIPMENT you gonna tell DP that Jerry gets to do a test drive? LOL
Let Jerry on it and you'll never get it back.
Awesome! I went from driving school buses 18 wheelers to my little Honda rancher! Lol and I don’t miss it with my rare neuromuscular disease .Content to be on the farm and watch these awesome videos
Love these videos!! Very interesting and fun to watch! Can't wait to see you figure out where all the extra weight came from. Thanks Clint!
Climbing the tractor onto the trailer in the middle of a bend is just great Art, good driving, well done!
🙏🙏🙏Amen!!! that every trip you make is a safe trip. Thank you for sharing your videos, I love them.
Great video. and thanks for taking us along on your trip, the way you set the camera it made me feel like i was driving. keep up the nice videos.
Thanks for the ride,looking forward to a video on this machine.
Man i needed a road trip. Thanks for taking us along. Cant wait to see yall go thru it.
When I worked for CAT, we did frame-up re-builds in D-7's and 988 loaders. Loved those jobs. I did all the engines, 3306 and 3408's.
Damn.. nobody talks about the 8 cylinders anymore 🥲
@@tommybritton9273 Shit, I did 398's and 399's. Plus the 3500 and 3600 series engines.
I like old iron, thanks for the ride along sir!
Good looking rig you have. That’s pretty cool that someone who watches you’re channel got to see you buy and pick up a piece of old military equipment that he use to run and operate. It’s amazing how things like that happens
Good to see some local boys out here doing good.
Awesome video. I love the old iron. Thanks for taking the time to make them.
Thanks for sharing the full trip and how things work with the states.
Great to see another oldie to resurect
Clean start on its own at 20 degrees. Didn't hear any moans or groans on it. Hard to wrap my head around 300 some hours since '72.
Thanks for the trip, nice old tractor
You bet
That tractor is awesome. A time capsule of sorts. I do NOT need a dozer. But I sure WANT that one.
Thanks for taking me along on the ride. If I was a bit younger, I would definitely enjoy doing what you do.
Thanks for the ride along
Another fun video. Can't wait to see your cleanup and repair video on it. Thanks
your a good dude u go out of way to help people like dp or dirt perfect
Nice looking piece of Iron, thanks for the videos
You did a fine job picking up and transporting that dozer for such a young man! Best wishes.
Love them. Please continue.
good looking dozer lets see you checking it over and cleaning it up thanks Dana
The D7 s (E & F) we ran in Ohio N.G. weighed 56,000 with a winch and R.O.P.S. we hauled them with our 5 ton tractor and tandem axle trailer. We were exempt from weight regulations at the time. I miss those days.
I need that in Mississippi. That squeaking in the cab of the truck would drive me insane.
Good run. Your channel is becoming my first look when I hit YoutTube. Seeing those good ole Indiana roads brings back the memories even 60 years later.
I ran all over Southern Indiana in my youth.
Thanks Clint. I really enjoy your videos. I’ll definitely talk to you next time I’m looking for used equipment.
loved the Pete, sounds awesome!!
Good looking ole tractor for the year .
Love the sound of the fake plastic leather squeaking on the rear wall .. brings back memories
Great video sir I enjoyed it very much. I am a retired trucker with the railway here in Canada 31 years service. Used to haul trailer trains with 20 foot containers, gross around 120,000.
We had five Freight-liner cab overs with 13 speed and V12 Detroit's. The sound and power were just amazing.
I'd love to see you go get more equipment like this and as you fix them up to sell them. Thanks!!!
Great video, Clint. Keep them coming!
Enjoy your videos more than I thought I would. More actiion than many construction videos where its the same thing over and over.
Thanks
Thats an D7E, spent many hrs on them in 85 when I joined as an equipment operator. Sounds good
D7e had the 4cyl
This is an f model
Great video.. I ran the D8 in the Seabees... Great machine. Thanks for the memories...
Thanks for watching
Thanks for taking us along on your trip . That is a good looking old "Cat" dozer. We had 2 - D8K's here on the farm years ago when they were stripping coal back in 1978 . They were really good dozers . They were my first experience with being on or doing anything with ( Cat ) dozers . Be careful and stay safe and fix the old dozer up.
As always, Jeffrey !!!
Those d8k dozers were some of the best machines I ever ran... even after getting in the high track
Love your video especially the truck ride along love jake break
Love that old iron whether it's got new paint or that character looking petena that's people are clear coating on older vehicles now days. Enjoyed the trucking an running through the scales!
Great video, love watching.
Love the content, thank you for your videos.
Thanks Clint, enjoying the videos would like one showing how you camo them out..
Brings back memories 👍
Great video Clint,I’m retired 30 years trucking.brings back memories.keep up the great job,look forward to seeing next video.happy new year.Gregg.
Thanks
You to
Great buy! Solid old dozer!
I love my CAT scale APP its awesome, ten speed or thirteen I loved my 18 speed... very smooth shifting great job!!!!
18speed
Hi Sir , I am really enjoying your videos . I love Dozers , they are the coolest . I only have a JD450C. It's a lot of fun too but I can only imagine a monster like that .
DOT and CAT scales have really changed in the 15 years since I retired. Faster and easier now with permits and such.
Sure was a pain back then getting out to pay etc. Surprised it was so easy getting an updated permit. Times have changed.
Happy New Year to you and yours.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching
Glad it was you on the scale and not me...
Damn beautiful machine.
Yep, do a going over it video. Looks like a great way to get it done.
Not been watching you for found you by accident but boy o boy well impressed keep them coming well done 👍
Thanks
I know you were fine, but I drawed up, just a little on the scale. I have trucker friends that have had nightmares at the scale. I bet Jerry called Dirt Perfect and said, now there's a dozer! Lol
Enjoyed your trip for the Captain
Thanks
Yup, that is indeed a lot of Iron on that old lad :-) Nice!
Kept me entertained, subscribed through dirt perfect like yaws videos.
I haul lots of equipment here at high country mining in southern WV. 👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome road trip with you thanks.
Love your videos
that dozer is not even broke in yet...make a great dozer for a farm, or anything👍👍👍👍👍
Another great video! Please keep them coming!
Awesome video Clint! Like to see more sir
I was concerned when I heard about the problems Dirt Perfect had with his purchase. When I started following you, I realized the your teenage workers probably did not help your quality quality control. I was glad to see you helped out DP, not because of his YT channel, but because of you standards. Keep up the great work.
For sure
I actually had problems with a Middle Aged guy. Normally they young kids you see are mine and I trust them way more than allot of people I can hire because they have been taught skills and values
Great Machine. HAPPY NEW YEAR Make sure Chris- Lets Dig 18 sees this machine.
Enjoyed the video.
Another awesome video.She definitely sounds good.
I love that cat dozer
That was fun! I am wondering if this one gets all painted up? I like seeing older tractors all prettied up and all new hoses, belts etc.
Keep watching
We have another video coming on it
Brought back memories of the job I had in Viet Nam keeping track of all of the dozers, D7E Rome Plows, for the 1st Infantry Division plus all of the other equipment in the line companies. These figures were supplied to the commanding general every morning. I still have pictures of the Rome Plows clearing jungle which I would take from a helicopter. Pictures are fading as I am.
Very cool too see someone that worked with this dozer when they were in the military and maybe there’s some kind of military armor on the bottom for protection or maybe they have extra strong rippers shanks but nice one when you get done with your service it will be beautiful 👍😎🇺🇸NY
I liked that video,you run a nice outfit ,sounds great Clint, yippee!! got it right. 👍👍
Thanks
I love equipment Clinton great video
Great Video Clint. Keep em coming!!
Thanks
I liked it all today.
I especially liked the driving part. I hear they are needing truckers badly right now.
Really enjoy your videos
Never seen rippers on the back of the blade! Makes for extremely efficient ripping
Enjoyed the trip with you bro. Safe travels
Thanks 👍
Hope to see more videos on this tractor
We have more coming
Awesome machine 👏
Thanks
Good old Seymour scales is a hit or miss on being a$$hole 😆. They loved us cattle haulers back in the day
Great video Clint nice dozer 🇺🇲
Nice Tractor !!
I'll tell you what blows my mind as you are driving along I'm thinking all these asphalt roads came along in the last 100 years . How can that be possible. We are living in the best of time...looking back and looking forward...forgetting the bad stuff!
keep these videos coming enjoy the old school trucking seems todays drivers have to shift as fast as they can and hit every gear even empty
Today engines just aren’t the same as the old cats like mine
Nice, enjoy these types of videos
Keep those videos coming. I’d like to see that dozer from now to the sale to see how you service it and get it ready to go.
We have another video coming on it
Enjoyed the video! Definitely interesting seeing how you load that dozer and going through the scales. Something I’m definitely not familiar with. Keep up the great content Clint. Chris Carnegie
Thanks
Lol if I didn't live in southwest Michigan I'd definitely try to come work with yall working on military equipment bring back some memories lol even though I operated M1 Abrams 🤣🤣🤣🤣
