Tisk Tisk Rich!!! I am disappointed in your Dozer Skillzzzz!!! 🤣🤣
😆 come to Canada and show us your tank driving skillzzzz!
Hell yeah, we need a collab!
@@DGHD don’t tempt me with a good time! I’d love to drive that beast
@@DGHD Hi Aaron, for your videos where you have to blur out the previous owner’s company name, could you not cover it up with steel plate. Paint the plate green screen and attach it by magnets to the equipment. It will be funny in post production where you add comments and descriptions to the green screen plate. Cheers.

I run a D9H it had semi-U blade a ripper shank on the as long as I 'am tall. Did a lot of dirt moving with it knocking hill tops off push down to fill the bottom, to put center pivot irrigation on it for new farm going in. Made cuts that where several feet above the Roll pan with length of 100 yards or so per-push. In the winter freeze I had to use the ripper in order to bust through the frozen ground. This is in Eastern Washington State off the Snake River. I had to clear the right away for 36" mainline to go up 150' Basalt out cropping, I ripped one way going down 20' width my feet on dash simply speaking until I could lesson the grade some. That did a number on that Basalt Rock the were able to bury that 36" main. It was a real joy to run that Cat, Kenneth Boren.
Those old cats will never die. They'll all hang around forever until somebody scraps them, not because they don't work, just because somebody doesn't know about them and thinks they're in the way. It's sad but it's the way they usually go. I have 4 old cats with pony motors and they're just amazing machines. They'll literally live forever.
I rather operate an old Cat than those effeminate pussy toys with plastic joysticks.
@Remington Steel I second that. Crazy find they got there
I know what you mean ,l have a 966 c and still runs great. Immortal old cats!
With market inflation and emissions systems. A lot of companies are actually rebuilding their older equipment.
Absolutely correct these old caterpillars are almost always fixable and don't have all the new crap on them there from a different time and place in a different america and it was better back then
The pony motor is stopped by switching off the fuel and letting it run dry. If you don't then bad things happen over time. The fuel leaks down into the engine. Squatch253 has several episodes on how they go together including assessing ones killed by not letting them run dry.
Squatch/Deboss crossover would be peak heavy equipment TH-cam content
You are correct with your comment. My friend George and I use the 1943 D-8 and still use much pre 1970 equipment in Alaska.
@@robertreisner6119you run old gear. is that cos there's no electrical sillness to them?
That must be alot of fuel leaking down,guys run worn injectors for hundreds of thousands of miles that leak down,wet stacking/cylinder wash can definitely smoke a motor but I learned something today
@@alscompleteoutdoor9091 The problem is that when people don't switch off the fuel to starve the engine, they don't switch off the fuel. So they figure off is off, like other engines. But the pony motor is gravity feed and will continue pouring fuel into the carb due to vibration from operating. That will all end up in the pony motor sump. Gas doesn't lubricate, so the next time you start the pony motor is trashes its bearings. Add to that the fact that people mostly forget about servicing them and you have plenty of time for gas to accumulate and do its damage. Since you asked.
That old D8 is a treat. Cable operated blade, levers for days, a pony motor, and that old Cat lives up to its name. Purring like a kitty. You can’t get much better than that.
This is some quality content. Don't get me wrong I like your builds but watching you guys fuck around on rusted heaps is great stuff
Preach !!!
I second that ☝👍
It bullshit there other mechanical ability are half ass
Are we all going to casually ignore the dead racoon on the driveway at 16:17?! hahahaha
Was just about to comment on that.
Got under the track at 16:07
Wtf..? LOL!
I wondered if anyone else thought the same. Lol
Came here just to look for a comment on this / had anyone else noticed it!
Thought it was just me. Im guessing it was dead allready. Still retarded to run it over imo.
"You're the youngest and least paid here, it is your fault!"
Growing up in the late 70’s, my dad was in the excavating business. From an early age, I was dad’s “oiler”. One piece of equipment I crawled around and greased was a D9. It was a beast and there wasn’t anything that would stop it. Such a blast to operate. Thanks for the memories Rich.
Hopelessoperstor
it's so much fun to watch these type of videos, especially when those old machines roar to life and move again.
By far my favorite D9 series... all the stuff you need and nothing you don't.
Junior seems like a champion! Hope to see him working on more stuff together.
He's a great guy. He was the one that towed the tank to Motorama
@@DGHD For a young guy he knew his way around some old gear! Also looked really comfortable on camera.
@@BJCP He was seconds away from learning why you don't 2-block a cable machine
@@myselfremade I have no idea what you’re talking about 🤣
@@BJCP if you keep pulling on the cable after the pulleys touch... It will break.
That 9 seems in good shape, mostly dry and wasn't crackling too much at start up,fairly good undercarriage looks like a keeper with lots of work left in her
Was like watching a circus with no ring leader lol. Only way you learn is to do
This is one of my favorite series of alllllll time on any platform.
I was totally waiting for someone to hit a parked truck 😂😂😂
Me too!!! Ha ha
His clutching / steering action was short on a few critical details 🤣 I was waiting for the gearbox off the winch to blow when he stated messing with those levers
its like driving a twinstick if you forget where youre at stop and start over lol
These videos are so entertaining to watch. You pretty much need to be a mechanical archeologist to figure these machines out! It's way over my head but real neat to see.
Na. Need to k ow how they are built. Both need oil changes. And much more.
On the old engines you can hear its big and have grunt. Love it.
Beautiful old yellow iron, still very usable and way easier to work on than the new stuff. They will out work the newer hydro machines.
Just not as many operator comforts
Jpaydirt might want that one to add to his collection of three D9's.
The way that one fired up it seems pretty okay. Definitely a paydirt want, replacement motor for old killdirt. If I remember rightly he wasn't to happy about the dude who did the rebuild some time ago.
It's got J Pay Dirt or Letsdig18 buddy Charlie (Copperhead Marine) name wrote all over it.
@@nicke1903 the 40k figure proberly stop young Jeffrey. Otherwise that engine sounds sweet man. Rare spares suppose that's the value. As for the old b9s h&g's, I had the opportunity to buy a very good h with no motor (no 353s anywhere) so toyed with alternative recovery 3408 c18 even kta 19 Cummins. But hell 1250 rpm is hard to replicate. From Western Australia.
Naw ole paydirt wants H’s not G’s
@@ironman3406 killdirt is a g same engine.
Poor Aaron had to blur out the company name for most of the video. We appreciate your editing work!
Carry a roll of gaffer tape... tape over the names before starting.
It made me want to know it that much more
@@scowell a .98 cent can of black paint will also work
Steven's right. If you've never owned gaffers tape, you owe if to your self to try a roll, special character. No glue residue, and sticks like shit to a wool blanket!
@@edwinhsingmaster9135 It's like duct tape squared, with none of the drawbacks. 30$ a roll... but oh so worth it.
That D8 is a real man's machine. The guys that used to operate those deserve medals.
Only a guy with a Cummins shirt on would spray starter fluid in the engine that doesn’t need it
He and Peg are buddies, 😁 at least he wasn’t double fisting the Cosby-sauce on that old Kitty-Cat. 😂
"Oh! It loves it!!!!!"
- Peg, probably
You don't need chocolate, doesn't mean you don't want it lol
@@DGHD legendary. 😂
Wow, blast from the past. I grew up working on those old things with my dad. You just brought back great childhood memories. Thank you.
You have to pull the steering lever and push the brake pedal at the same time to turn it. Left lever and left pedal for left turn, Right lever & pedal for right turn.
My Dad worked for CAT for 42 years. He was always proud to see the equipment at work on the HWY.
Oh my, pony motors….I hated them, cuz the cork gaskets that sealed em up to the diesel motor always leaked, but when it was cold……the pony would always warm up the big dog, and it always started……even if it was -40! 😍
I know this will most likely be buried or useless to you at this point, but those old dozers are a hand clutch and foot brake. So the two levers you're tugging at are individual track clutch packs and the foot pedals are the brakes to make it turn. I grew up playing on my Grandpa's old '45 D4, so it's second nature to me, but the riggamarole of getting the 8 started gave me a pretty good chuckle. Thanks for the content Deboss. It's much appreciated.
Kinda surprised those old girls fired up that easily, i guess we dont know how long they have been sitting though. They definitely dont make them like they used to...
Haha I was yelling at the screen as you were trying to figure out how to turn! I am 44. At 13 I helped put a clutch in one. My boss for the job says "you wanna drive?" The next week I started as an operator for him on his TD11.
Impressed with the young man....knows a lot!
Love them old U models. I've pulled a many pony motors for rebuild. That D8 has a lot of life left. Nice looking D9.
Get in touch with Jpaydirt........he loves those old Cat's, Plenty of farmers would love to have an old cat like that in their shed. Jpaydirt is rebuilding one of those right now. The second cat is 1940's vintage, no turbo and pony motor. Still a good farm dozer, you can still chain scrub with it and push over trees,or build dams. Either way, from the point of utility,simplicity or historical they both have enough value to not scrap them. There is good footage of those old D8's building the Alcan highway to Alaska during WW2, and they can seriously push trees out the way.
Yes yes yes!!! Old rich is back, I miss these videos haha
Those old dozers were awesome! I learned how to start & run them when I was around 12 years old on our local farm! They would make a boy into a man quickly! Or they would kill you, either way 😂😂😂😂!
The old1959 D4 I had said on dipstick check when running. When cold if u checked it, oil level would show over full.. but it wasn’t when’s u checked when running when warm.great job getting it running!
Very entertaining episode. The young guy helping what a burst. Funny guy with humour. Not a thing was a problem. Need more like him these days. 👍
D 9's were used in Viet Nam with a Rome plow for land clearing. They were trucked to the work site on tank transporters, after they were blown up, the chunks were airlifted back to base.
hillarious..the clutch and brake learning process....started running cat..d6c gearjammer with crank blade tilt.....all new cat operators should have to spend a week on one.Very basic skills and coordination.
crazy how many selfproclaimed operators have no idea how to load the blade and run with it let alone just knowing where level is and how to get there by ass of the pants on the seat.
Tap e Tap e Tap on the track with an occasional air rinse when compressed air was available and that’s exactly how we did it every 12 hours of operation. But ours had an oil bath filter after the big paper pleated one. Every 12 hour shift for the paper and once a year would drop the oil and run yer finger up the intake to marvel at how well them messy old air filters worked. It was a 2U model and had the original rings and bearings after 28 years of working at that time.
Is that a dead raccoon in the foreground at 16:18? 😂 Maybe someone else was living in that thing
When i was young my dad took us with to work on equipment and I can promise that was way more fun than any park i went to with my grandma
Good old yellow paint rebuilds!😉
My dad ran a cable raise blade D8 in the bush logging in BC decades ago, had some crazy stories.
cable omg ,,awesome
Great video 👍Old Jaypaydirt would be so proud what you guys done saved a D9😊
Seems like these old Cats never die completely, the controls wear out and they get to where they won't turn and then they sit forever until somebody finally decides to fix it and then the cycle repeats.
It's true, old Cats never die, they just take a long nap till they're ready to go again.
I love those good old dozers they work great i mean you cant compere them to the new ones with all the comfort they have but i love the old cat stuff 👍👍👍
And no computer bs
Probably no New one's for sale right now
Seems like these old Cats never die completely, the controls wear out and they get to where they won't turn and then they sit forever until somebody finally decides to fix it and then the cycle repeats.
God I love watching old iron roar back to life. Never stop!
feet are the brakes levers are the clutches use them togeather to turn
That D8 brought back memories! Glad to see it saved. Love that sound.
My late old uncle was a diesel mechanic.I once went to an auction with him and saw that older Cats were bringing much more money than newer stuff from other makers. I asked him why that was and he simply stated "Because they're worth it".
The fact that Rich has so much fun and is like a kid in a toy store everytime he does a (will it start) makes me miss being a diesel tech. Love your channels Rich
I used to love hearing the D8 starting at the local quarry when i was a kid ...Great old things good vid chaps
Приятно смотреть видео! Старая техника имеет душу, которой так не хватает современным машинам. Есть только ты о твоя машина и между вами нет компьютера, который принимает участие в управлении. С интересом наблюдаю за вами, хотя и не знаю английский язык, мне понятно чем вы занимаетесь! Удачи!
@working_country ___ Слова не так важны, интересно наблюдать за работой людей, любящих технику, а особенно дающими вторую жизнь железным ветеранам!
I just have to say, you've got a wonderful way of saying things
@@XUncleBossX Agreed
really looking forward for these king of videos, like before even watching... keep up the good work
iam very glad to see old Caterpillar dozer D8/114 and D9 G
Iam from Egypt
What a display ! Nice to realize that steering is with two levers before operating. Aw well.
sweet jesus watching him in the seat of the D8 pulling and pushing
Got to tell you I thoroughly enjoyed watching those old dosers and demotions and what you gotta go through to get on turning compared to today's machine incredible
Like the "Crothers" dealer plate on the side of the D8.
From a time long ago before everything "Cat" was Toromont!
Amazing that D8 runs smooth as butter and these old beasts will still be running in 50 years when the new crap with all their electronics and emissions will be headed to the scrap bin.
I've never been more scared watching a video than this......you didn't even move the cars out of the way and that Barn just looked like it was getting ready to get nailed oh my God
Brings back memories. First, look at the tracks. They look good 👍😊 so there is plenty of life in this machine
I’ve bought a barn find D6 cable dozer - pony motor start that I’m going to try and get running this summer. Definitely enjoyed this.
This reminds me of being a WA Cheney farm boy with my cousins. We messed with everything on the farm as kids. It’s how we learned 😂
Very cool project! I have a soft place in my heart for old iron.
My Goodness that waqs fun. I love the old Cats!
The dead raccoon at 16:20 in that you ran over that’s funny lol
I remember when I started off in the operators is the type of equipment that we used to have to run there was a lot of it out there at that time, The old D 6ks we used to push scrapers,,, The good old days..😀😀😀
That old d8 is full mechanical...the two levers between your legs are the clutch levers for each corresponding track...when you pull the left lever it disengages the left track but it doesn’t mean it will turn because the right track is still engaged and will push the tractor along...when you pull the left lever you must push the left peddle on the floor like you were doing and it was hauling down the engine because you were engaging the brake...so when you pull the lever and push the peddle on the left it will turn left...right lever right peddle and it will turn right...the big lever on the left of your leg is the main clutch and it’s called the Johnson bar...that old machine might be old but she will out work anyone out there...I was on a pipeline 10 years ago and we had an old d5 side boom on site that was set up like that one...she was much easier to drive than that big d9 because she was so much lighter...that d9 is set up very similar as far as the steering goes but it has some hydraulic assistance to help brake the tracks...you did great for driving one for the first time...certainly not an easy machine to master...love seeing that old gear go!!
Great Vid. I just realised why I had a bad back for 20 years. I did my apprenticeship on Cat’s in the early 70’s & then operated D4’s & D6’s for 3 yrs. I had forgotten how much effort went into the Clutch & Brake steering ,especially when under load, & the seats were not adjustable. Love them though.
Damn man, can you imagine running that 6-8 hours a day?
Its like taking a ride on a paint shaker.
When i sat on the seat the average day was fourteen hours.
@@bigdigger9404 How are your hip doing?
ive done it on an 8k for 12 hours.. its like a nicotine buzz when you get off of it you stand there and the worlds spinning around you. god forbid you didnt have earplugs your hearing is about like having a few gun shots near you without earplugs... but boy are they fun.
I have had a AC HD6 track loader was definitely a workout to run and work on when it broke seemed like every time it broke was hanging upside down to fix
Pony start, cable blade machines built our modern world! If it's not grown, it's mined! Thanks bud!
you guys are so damn funny, trying to drive either dozer. Pulling the main clutch and pushing one track brake. HAHA
The whole levers and pedals routine at 15:15 was hilarious hahaha
I love these old machines. So cool even sitting still
Congrats DGHD on getting the two Dozers running. great job. lv ur crazy videos.
Now that’s a machine for Matt at Diesel Creek.
You check the oil running on the old cats, that’s probably about perfect
Interesting, I’ve never heard of that on an engine. Thanks for the info
Yeah the modern Cats have “running” and “stopped” marks on the dipstick
@@bannedbycommieyoutube5time920 this is common for really large engines like what you'd find in backup power plants and locomotives, since they might go weeks or months without being shut down, but some smaller engines are like this too. We have a old 1950s GE locomotive with twin Cat D342 engines (I think the D8 in this video has the same engine) and you check them with the engine idling and hot, it's even written right on the dipstick. If you pull the dipstick with the engine shut down it looks waaay too high.
@@bobsmith2637 that makes a ton of sense, you predicted my next question, thanks Bob!
@@bannedbycommieyoutube5time920 It is because a lot of the oil will be sitting in the valve cover and in the piping when it is running. it all runs down into the pan when shut off. my cat 977 has both ranges marked on the stick.
> Used to operate and repair old Cats. Best to get a maintenance manual and don't guess at the adjustments and fill levels. Will save yourself some major wear when final drives, clutches and brakes, and many other adjustments are dialed in. Some parts hard to locate now days and used parts inventory can be more worn out than what you're trying to replace. Parts manual is good also, some bearings and seals can be replaced with current items, but cat has discontinued most items. So to keep one running indefinitely take good care of it today to save needless repairs from neglectful tinkering. And these are antiques that are not going to give new machine performance. If you beat them they will break and if they've been parked a long time figure out why so you don't end up with scrap or yard art.
16:46, I just spat my Coffee out lol, brilliant. 😂😂👍👍🇬🇧🇨🇦
I’d like to see a modern machine sit for 2 years and fire up like that…. Let alone 10+…
Those old Cat’s 1000 lives.
What a Turkey, that is the level of the oil when it stopped.
When have it running is when you check the oil level and make sure you prime the oil up before you start.
Wow that’s amazing that it started right up after sitting for so long. Cool!!🎉
I love the idea of using an engine, to start a bigger engine 😅 it always amuses me
And most of them were similar engines for a push mower.
In winter, in the northern bush, the pup motors were started half an hour ahead of time to preheat the big engines and loosen them up.
No Espar heaters or plug ins back then.
@@Wonkothesne Indeed. Those minus 40 degrees, can be pretty nasty.
Easy on those steering clutch and brakes on that old D8 2U ! You got to pull back Easy and release them back don't let clutches fly hard on bands in steering clutches! I've put a many hours when younger running one these!
Man listening to that pony motor brings back so many memories I love those old dozers
Got to love diesels. They can sit for years and as long as they getting fuel and air they will run. So much fewer headaches than you get with gas engines that sit.
2 beautiful pieces of old iron to get back to work.
I'll take dibs on the D9G. :)
It's really simple to operate a older Cat. If you want to turn right, pull back on the right clutch handle, step on the right steering brake pedal. To change or engage the main transmission push forward on the main clutch handle which engages the clutch brake, select gear and pull back on main clutch handle. Simple really it just time to learn. The pony motor also has a engagement clutch, it is the upper shorter handle. Push in pull out on gear engage handle then pull out on clutch handle.
RICH you and heavy machines =Fun just Love it
so cool ...wish I had this collection in my backyard..
Glorious beasts, I'm so glad they will not be scrapped.
She’s definitely one of my favorite cat! Those will never die, they just get better with age! Like fine aged wine 🍷👌😎👍
Was I the only one yelling to push the peddle and pull the lever at the same time? I used to run them when I was a kid helping my dad paint crawlers. He would lay out posts and I would run them back and forth so he could pain the tracks and rollers. Since I was about 8 I was light enough for him to lift up there. LOL!!!
You guys are having waay too much fun! Hahaha! 😂Thanks for taking us along for the ride! Too Cool! 👍👍
I can't be the only one hollering "BRAKE AND CLUTCH RICH!" hahaha
The oil probably isn't over full, it is probably designed to be checked while running. They did that because they were often only started in the morning and left run all day.
It’s full of transmission fluid
I absolutely love this channel! You guys are awesome and you always make me laugh regardless of what the video is about! Great work!
Ran a D9G when I was in the Army over 50 years ago , ours had a seat for a gunner to sit over the right track and no cage. I am fairly sure it was a ‘61 model.
