Love the Dozer videos Westen keep them coming, I am a 70 year old guy sitting in a recliner in North Dallas and every time I watch one of your videos I want to hop up and come work on one of your projects, your attitude is infectious and your videos make my day, so keep them coming. What is happening with the Mustang? How is Beyonce? Does your Mom let you drive her Porsche?
Mustang im trying to buy a parts car for it save a little money there, Beyonce hasn't called in a while unfortunate I know and her Porsche is probably broken lol

Made me laugh (my wife was in the other room) but boy, are YOU in TROUBLE. Now you will never be able to run for public office. Somebody will republish that statement in 20 years and you'll be pilloried.
Love it... reminds me of the time I worked at a Cat plant testing loaders in the 80's the power shift was awesome! I expect sitting around caused air in the system to enter on one end of the blade cylinders.... any air in the cylinder will mean it will not move until it cycles a few times... I would expect the seals to be pretty rotten so as soon as you fix that winch and the cylinders see full pump pressure you will have a mess... best to put a seal kit in... keep us posted on your progress... Geez what a blast!
Western I just wanted to start off this by letting you know that I am incredibly impressed with your mechanical abilities at such a young age only wish that I knew half of what you know and I know without a doubt that I'm probably damn near three times your age and with that being said I get the most enjoyment out of watching you fix things that look like they would be a real test for me therefore I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos repairing the Dozer repairing the Mustang the Cummins engine swaps and all of the other fantastic things that you do and make look so easily when I know that they are a lot more difficult than they appear anyway I hope to God you have a wonderful day and that life gives you everything that you ever dreamed of talk to you again soon.
It’s better having a d11 high track sitting in your yard just to plow your driveway in the winter and have all your neighbors staring at you pissed that you woke them up at 3am with it
I've gotta tell you, as a hard working man myself,you have no idea how happy it makes me to see a young guy that actually likes ,and is good at using his hands and brain to do a good days work like a man!! Very impressed!! Great job!! Kudos to your parents!its just not common anymore!Keep those videos coming!!
You have to do it justice and fix her up tip top, back to factory. What a beast & testament to the builders, made to last well past anything made today.
This guy explains very quickly, exactly, and so easy to understand the workings of these old Dozers...I like this guy as he is a happy friendly sort of person....good to have him as a friend.
I SO enjoy watching you and listening to your explaining what you are doing. You in many ways remind me of an uncle I loved hanging with 66+ years ago, as a little 4th grader, they lived in Texas. There wasnt anything he couldnt fix. He, in my eyes, was a genius. He would buy broken/abandoned heavy equipment, like you, haul it home on his huge, heavy duty flat bed trailer. My aunt would have a cow, cuss up a storm. All he'd say, "baby, I can fix it, use it for business and buy those fancy city things you love." That pretty much quieted her down. You 2 are probably from the same inquisitive mold, mechanically. Always figuring it out, getting it to work. I look forward to watch your telling of rebuilding that CAT. I will reminisce about my cool uncle, listening to you. Please keep up the YOU TUBE sharing on this cool CAT. We WANT MORE!
Most interesting video in a long time. I am 71 so I grew up when this was new. I saw many of these run on real construction jobs. My father did high steel in ohio. I did survey work for a major intersection when I was a senior in high school . Great job
You’re doing great, ignore the idiots giving you grief about checking fluids. Im old and so is my tractor(1967 John Deere 4020 gasoline power shift) ive had to do some engineering to keep her happy but she is a beast too. Those old hydraulic systems are so over built it is unusual for a serious problem to happen. First check for blockage, and the most common, especially in this old beast is a filter needing changed. When you hear the pump whine, change the filter. Also, maybe change the hydraulic fluid....it can accumulate moisture just from temp changes. If you don’t know when the last time it was changed...change it. Itll save headaches in the long run and you’ll know for certain the fluid is in good shape. Also, check your control connections on the valve body, shoot some WD-40 or similar light oil to the controls moving parts. Your blade may not have been moving last time because the valve was stuck and once you got the fluid moving it freed up after sitting for a bit. Great machine and the price...crazy!!! Shoot me any question and if I can help... good luck!
Wes I gotta say the main thing I love about your videos is that everybody can tell that you are showing us who you really are, and your enthusiasm for what you do. You keep bringing me back memories of when I was much younger, and reminding me of how it felt to do the repairs on the different machinery I used to use. It don't hurt that your accent sounds almost as good as mine here in L. A. That is what we call it here in Jay Florida, Lower Alabama
They were great dozers! It is a mechanical winch that runs off a power take off shaft.. Hyster made an excellent winch. I worked at Ohio machinery for 42 years
Can you imagine how much fun Westen would have doing that. He could start picking up old cars from neighbor's then crushing with the dozer and take them in for scrap
That old yellow dog is just like YOU.. Big and powerful and loves to talk (run). I know it thanks you guy's for bring her back from the dead.Thanks, Texas
Oh Man !! Loveit !! Nothing sounds like a CAT ! And yes, always Have to know how all the controls work. I operated a D7 some 45 years ago ! Thanks for the memories, And "OLD", hell that was only a short time ago !
You were like a little kid at christmas, so funny to watch. LOL Glad to see you're getting things fixed on the ol' CAT. Can't wait to see you guys doing some work with it. Stay safe.
idk about any of you here, but this thing's shaping up to be a good mining dozer imo. The winch would be good to help pull an entire gold dredge along.
Take your CAT D7 completely apart,. Pull the tracks off,. Clean and repack all the wheel bearings, repaint it piece by piece , when you are done you will have learned a lot and be proud of it! 🤔🚜
I want one! That thing is beyond awesome. The sound of the engine with the clanging of the steel tracks is badass! Definitely want to see you fix that beast up!
Nothing new has the good old detachable parts, unless it's a headache, Some things make me yearn for the good ole days(were they really that good, yea nah)but anyway you don't seem to get to worried by much,good show,
Awesome job fixing the dozer so far, great video! Has anyone here had a piece of equipment like this they have restored and what was the biggest challenge?
My dad and I just bought a austin western 6x6 grader with a 353 detroit for 25bucks. Biggest challenge so far has been freeing up injectors. And dealing with 30 year old hydraulic hoses with air in them. Next challenge is going to be the split rim wheels.
Ran a D8K while in the army Corp of engineers. Prior to the army I had ran a D9 which had a pony engine for starting. Caterpillar built America. Great watching your endeavors!
Well done,, you were very easy to understand, on the workings of the machine,, looks good, I do agree with the reply on the winch,, once it's fixed or disengaged, you will have full flow on the blade,, great vid. 👍 👍
Westen love your videos your the most down to earth person I've seen on u tube. I had plenty of time to watch them I'm in rehab waiting to get my prostiec lost my leg below the knee. You remind me of myself I was a mechanic worked on trks and equipment then got tired of working on them I started driving trk 2.5 million mile later I retired due to a,injury but watching your videos just makes my day and the Saturday talk was great. Thanks
@@WestenChamplin Luv the vids Wes and the kids enjoy yer down home drawls and stuff, see if U can git the ol timer on cam and give some advice on fixes and operation LUBE it up yet? Those things require cartilages of grease and oil

Quickfix for the winch......connect the 2 hydrolic lines together so the oil can flow freely. Unless a hose leaking you can focus on getting it to run then winch last
Plus having a winch on a bulldozer is great if you get the dozer itself stuck as if there is a big tree close by you can usually pull yourself out. My father sunk his cat D4D in a dam and was able to winch himself out
Absolutely love these videos! I can’t get over the fact that you look 43 and 14 at the same time. Like a young Phil margera lol keep the awesomeness coming man 👍👌💪
Dad told me back in the day to move an oil drilling rig in TX they would take two Cats hook up their winches to the rig run out to the end of the winch line and let the tracks dig in, once it was well buried they would lock the tracks, engage the winches drag the rig to a point then unlock the tracks and use the winch to pull it out, rinse and repeat. This thing is awesome as he destroys cousins shed!

A lot of the flow from your pump is probably going to the winch. once you get it disengaged the blade may move better...
GDLutz yeh that what would be happening
anyway to jam the winch controls in off position for now????
@@gertraba4484 Not without opening the controlbox, which while you have it open might as well fix the damn thing anyways...
I don't believe the winch is hydraulically driven. I believe it is a gear-driven winch driven by a PTO.
I was thinking the same thing 👍🏽
Remember to put a coffee can or something over the exhaust stack to keep out the weather. Ole dozer is looking like a great deal!

Also check if you have a priority valve between blade and winch.

Wow she sounds like the runs like a champ! Crazy how that stuff can sit so long and run so well after years.
That is so AWESOME I would love to drive that Bad Boy! LOL
Saw an excavator fly off a lowboy today on i5 here in washington state. Butthole pucker factor 10. Golly.
Is a driver what you saw is a driver getting into some deep crap and possibly lose his job
If that is the one that happened by Chehalis, then I remember that too!
“This old man probably forgot more than I could ever know about this dozer.” Greatest quote of all time!
Fun video, good job. I always enjoyed working my equipment. There's a real joy finding the problem and fixing it yourself.
Specific gravity batteries on hand just under 2000 amps, and football with laces out let's go
This looks like the same dozer that helped Kevin Bacon escape the graboids.
Quickfix for the winch......connect the 2 hydrolic lines together so the oil can flow freely. Unless a hose leaking you can focus on getting it to run then winch last
Great stuff Westen! I feel accomplished when I watch you fix up stuff lol.
The roads I could make with that. The snow wouldnt be a problem. Everyone should have one.

Good video mate. It's great seeing old machinery working again. Good luck with the dozer. I really hope you can get it fully operational again
Warming it up before going full throttle is probably a good idea.

This thing is awesome as he destroys cousins shed!
Im an operator/mechanic on a D7F dozer very similar. Mine has a standard transmission. It's really neat seeing these older machines being fixed
Hydraulic system.....drain all fluids and change filters. Then, do the same on final drives and engine oil.
