Fixin a flat tire on that dozer is a lot of work, thank goodness the youngins were there to help too!
I still cherish and remember the days that I was small like Gunner and helped my dad work on various heave equipment, I am now 75. Thanks you Dad Perfict! God bless
Gunner was so proud of what he helped with he had to show his buddy.
And he listened to his DP Dad
I really enjoy watching and it’s great to see dad working with his children. Thanks to Captain Kleeman for mentioning you. I love to watch you and MBTS fabricating and working on your equipment
Thanks welcome to the channel
Dad, you made me proud. Our kids NEVER get enough of implied praise and acceptance from their dads like the kind you showered on G. and M. out in the shop. You demonstrated that you trusted them and needed their assistance in a relatively dangerous area and I can guarantee you those minutes you worked with them are more precious and memorable than a thousand throw away "Good job" comments.
Tragically losing your dad early in your life must make the times he made you a true partner and valued helper so memorable now. It is funny how we as dads allow our jobs and duties to block out how important including our "littles" until they are old enough (in our eyes) to be included when by that time, they have developed their own interests.
Thanks buddy
Great video!!! Good seeing you and the kids hanging out with each other!!! Happy Father's Day to you ✌️👏
thanks!
Thats a good dad right there getting the kids involved is awesome and it looks like he was having fun
Thanks
I know in the US Military when a tank sprocket is replaced. They always use new bolts. Only when they change it in the field do they use the old bolts. Then when it gets to a service center. They replace the bolts. God bless
You and your son make a great team. The method that you are using to teach him is giving him confidence that instills benefits to him for years to come. Three Cheers to you
Thanks
Way to go dad! Give those young ones some confidence so they can do just about anything. The truck is got some shine on it. Taking shape. All you have to do now is teach the dog how to sweep up the mess, lol.
A crilliant impressive video. You have a perfect assistant, who knows about safety AND clear hand signals.
Father and son working so cute, Company's new name Dirt perfect & Son 💯 😎 👌
This kind of work fascinates me. I can sit and watch it for hours! Lol
DP I love it when you have your kids working in the shop with you. It reminds me of all the times I helped my dad.
I see that working with Kleman and MBTS all these years has prepared you for shop time with the kids. 🤣
Lol
Makes good video teaching gunner and macy in the shop and it good for them my dad took on the job when I was 5 years old remodeling his apartment building after a fire and I worked for him and loved it
Great video DP. Great to see the kids helping u out.
Thanks 👍
Jerry going love that tractor even more after a complete service. DP u going have to work overtime to keep up with him 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love it ,Mike, that you our showing your children how to work.like their Daddy does. Reminds me of my husband and our children when they we're young, and their Daddy , before he passed away. We had three our son ,and our two girls, He took each one of them to work every Saturday morning, to send his crew out, then he took them to breakfast. To this day those times with him, our for most in their minds. The world needs more Daddy, like theose of you .Sending my love and God's blessings to your all , stay safe .Wanda In N E Ok
I'm loving this vid reminds me of my dad & me working together
I love seeing children being taught. Not enough of that going on any more.
Nothing better for kids to learn about work and enjoying the work.
Great kids.
Definitely agree
Adorable kids.
I really like seeing the behind the scenes type of stuff. Don't get me wrong, the dirt work is cool. It's a nice change of pace to see what it takes to keep the equipment up and running...the part of the business that isn't so glamorous.
Thanks Erik
Seeing your children in the shop reminds me of how I learned most of the mechanical skills I have now, from my Dad. good to see.
I am a big fan of Cat D 4 I guess probably because its first dozer I learned how to run. Good thing to teach our kids how to do things mechanically awesome your teaching your son. Keep up the excellent work and thanks for the great vidja.
thanks!
He a good helper love watching you
thanks
So great seeing Gunner helping his Dad. He’s so cute! You can tell he really enjoys it too! Well done Mr Dirt Perfect! Great video.
Thank you
Great to see kids working alongside their dad. Brings back fond memories of my son helping me do jobs when he was little, time sure goes by fast he turned 35 this year. Well done DP, teach them as much as you can while they’re young it pays big dividends later on in their lives.😀😀👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
thanks
Good work Mike. Great job nurturing your son to be a great helper. He’ll be driving the dozer on jobs before you know it!
I like seeing Gunners confidence soar! When you rolled the second drive around he knew exactly what was right. "Stop,....nope a little more, STOP!!" That was the best,....made me smile like the butchers dog!!
Awe, now Mike don’t beat up on the child about sewing...
She did come out to the shop, and assist, and someday she will be able to that job when you are too old and weak...
Great rain day work for you and the kids.
Memories man, building memories...
Great video.
Thank you sir...
The lock tite is easy to break loose with a little heat. The additional advantage it gives is it keeps any moisture from migrating in between the threads so there is no rust.
Gotta teach safety at an early age. Eye and hearing protection should be something every kid learns early.
Gloves too.
Whats this safety you speak of
Oh god the safety susans.
I guess they should have been wearing vests and hard hats too.
He was wearing eye protection and gloves when needed.
He made sure Gunner stayed to the side when he was rotating the track.
Not being able to hear because of plugs can be very unsafe.
@@jcgoogle1808 I wear hearing protection all the time and can hear just fine. Ear plugs and or headphones. Yes I might miss a mouse running by but I can hear people talking just fine and any equipment near by.
@@aldimore
If you wear ear protection and can hear over the sound of a running engine, they're not providing protection, unless they're the sound canceling headphones used at gun ranges.
But there was no reason to wear ear protection in his garage. There were plenty of reasons not to.
One of the tricks that I've seen on multiple channels for getting broken screws out is to weld a nut or some other metal stub that you can use to get some leverage on the bolt.
You but would not work here
Saw you use the candle trick and to my surprise just ran across Squatch 253 using it on a 1st generation D2 he has been rebuilding. and this is the first time I've heard of it 69 yrs. of life. Who says an old dog can't learn new/old tricks!!
Dear Sir, did we hear you right, “the one I got stuck “? That poor dozer needed a spa day after you tried to drown it in that pond. Then you talked about getting rid of it right in front of “it”. It was great to see your children, learning about the glory side of mud moving, repairing heavy equipment.
That IS pretty heartless and cruel, isn't it.
i like how hes taking the time to teach gunter
Mike it looked like Gunner was getting the hang of helping his dad! A proud dad is loving it! Thanks for sharing. Kevin
Yes he is
That is not an easy job to do without damaging the threads. Great job Mike! Awesome getting the kids involved and the patience to teach them. ;)
Thanks
I use an old license plate as a funnel for hubs on a truck and final drives, it works like a dream
I see you're future maintenance and repair guy hehehe Gunner is a fine young man...he loves working with Dad.
I don't envy you on doing that job. I hate broken bolts with a passion! And they hate me too! I seen an old feller get final drive bolts out with a piece of 1/4" iron pipe and a stick welder. Put the pipe against the broken bolt and weld inside the piece of pipe with the stick welder. let it cool some and use a pipe wrench. Worked every time for him. Free tip for ya when your wax trick doesn't work next time.
It never hurts to wash out the radiator. I know people who have blown up engines because they never blew out or washed out their radiator. Great work Mike God bless
I'm really glad you show all the behind the scene effort it takes to run a successful dirt business. I don't think people understand the extra effort it takes to maintain the equipment you own. Great work! Its also good to see the next generation getting an early start in the business =)
Artisan what is so good about the next generation as you say is this there keen as to be with there Dad no matter what he is doing now that's the good part also the way he includes them in the job he is doing guiding so track is in right as with the sprocket and aligning the bolt hole just so good to see that Cheers
That young boy will remember that experience all his life
Making memories working with dad
You got a fine Son, He listens very good to instructions and does just as you say, he is going to be a very good Mechanic, just hope he will be a good Carpenter to.
On the job training, works every time !!! Odd how only quarters of the sprockets came adrift, locktite should ease that and should prevent ingress of dirt too !!
Will not be long before Gunner is out in the field with you, learning to operate the plant, between you and Jerry, he will make a great operator!!!
Nice to see the kid’s working with their Pops..
It’s nice to work with your kids, I also take them with me as much as I can (and as much as they like).
I always first take the fill plug out on final drives, and next the drain plugs ( like you did by the second one ☺️) . If you have bad luck there’s pressure built up in them (from temperature difference) and you’re all covered in stinky oil 😭
I was waiting to see if you would use LocTite. Of course, Mr. Wrench Perfect did it right. I like your repair videos as much as the dirt jobs. I never saw the candle trick. Good Full Service job.
Thanks buddy
Your doing a heck of a job DP! It's good to see other people getting their kids out in the shop and on job sites etc nosing around growing an interest for the industry. Btw you're not the only who gets wore out with the iPads!
thanks
Great helpers, almost better then MBTS, but do miss him. Great video, Thanks for sharing.
Good video. Great thing teaching the kids!
thanks
Great video. Gun seemed to take instructions well. My grandfather was a carpenter. He kept broken candles in all of his tool boxes and nail aprons. Some were blocks of bees wax too
You have great helpers I see Cat comes with an Excel spread sheet to record services . And I like prefilling filters when ever possible . If case anyone says " manufactures don't recommend doing that " Well the truth is they have to say that because some people mix fluids and introduce dirt into a clean filter and that is a no no . Plus the fluid is being poured into the outlet side of the filter so dirt will be introduced into the system . Shouldn't the engine be running to check the oil ?
Awesome torch work.
Thank you!
It's really good you teaching your young ones how to be independent by just knowing how to do stuff...... very little of that going around these days...I am in the UK and I know several grown men that can't even change a Fuse. Refreshing to see my friend. Oh and thanks for the ever entertaining videos.
I think Macy and Gunner need a raise. Lol.
Not to be critical Mike, but try to break the habit of holding the socket on an impact gun. My buddy had to have 3 surgeries and lost some of the feeling in his hand when an impact socket exploded like a grenade, sending shrapnel through his hand.
I use to run a d4 for a friend ,it was a great dozer
Great video y'all have a great weekend and stay safe 👍
Just in time for Father's day!
Amazing filter change 🙂
Always good to have some help. My son and I are teaching my 3 1/2 year old grandson to work on cars. It's kind of fun watching him, he will say I am such a big helper.
Good repair
Good job mike
thanks
A thumbs up for the helpers . lol
I think you do a great PM of your equipment 🤠
When removing an oil filter that will overflow, pull a single use plastic shopping bag up over the filter. Break the filter loose just a tad. Pull the bag up to the top and finish removing the filter. The bag will usually catch the mess. Plus, you already have the filter contained so it does not spill elsewhere as you set it aside.
Good job teaching Gunner to recognize when things are in alignment. A first step for developing that eye for getting on grade.
Good to see the kids learning how life really is . Money don't grow on trees . Hard work is the key , nothing as easy as it looks .... repetition .
There's gotta be a battery pump for that gear oil bucket.
have u ever thought of welding the sprockets together? we used to weld all the segments together back when i ran dozer at the coal company, only way we kept them tight-i mean the bolts. once we had them welded the bolts seemed to never get loose then-even in bad rock. when i went back to running dozer, and was in the high tracks(10's and d-11's) they never came loose on the high tracks-
i was laughing when both boys was telling where to stop the final drive at-now that was funny-but it seemed they was good help for ya. thanks for the video-DP
Ur a great dad u can tell he loves spending time with his dad
thanks
All greased up ready.
Best helpers ever ! Will work for ice cream ! 🤣👍👍❤️🦅🇺🇲🙏
I loved your back up team. They were so much help and eager to do so. Children love it when we ask them to.help us. You showed a lot of patients and good encouragement.
You get an A+ for a dad.
Loved it great work as always! I would be interested in buying the dozer if decided to sell it.
Antisieze is man's best friend
OMG, Did I see a bottle of Never Seize on the back of the ROPS?
Lol probably
Damage to equipment and Captain Kleeman nowhere is sight!
just a thought, maybe the hard packed dirt is loosening the screws?
Almost 10,000 hours on the D4 and she still goes to work every day - CAT makes good product that lasts and are well engineered. That's why they cost more but they are cheaper in the long run.
Are we looking at a Cat D-5 or maybe a Cat D-6XE for the replacement ?
Lisle tap sockets. One of the better 25 dollar investment you can make for running taps
Need to get some
Did you remember to tighten that side cover bolt. Saw it sticking out when you put the radiator guard back on....
Yup
LoL . Smart kid ya got there DP !!! Why don't you get the last one !!!! 😅😅😅
That was so great with your kids and very cute... good to see them learning with their daddy.
Man behind the scenes is in trouble….you have new helpers
My Dad was a wrencher when I was young,,, taught me a LOT!!! (Now--- he doesn't do it anymore,,, but I'm still wrenching away!!!) Love to see the youngsters getting involved!!!
Hi Mike, I thought It was funny your daughter questioning you about the candle, a typical female. Haha. Anyway, I always thought the undercarriage of any track vehicle was the very bottom. I hope you checked all the bolts on those sprockets. Take care Mike.
Good morning DP and all your young helpers. Sorry about that break down. Must be all that stucking you been having 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks buddy
@@DirtPerfect Welcome DP. I really like when kinds show interest in what dad's do
You weren't stuck! You just couldn't get out!
Your new helper seems Way more Reliable that MBTS! Keep up the good work!
Taller, too.
i think all 3 of you kids did a great job together. very enjoyable yo watch. thanks for the family vid. cheers lads.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and videos. Great to see the kids helping in the shop. From watching your videos I’m not sure you can afford to move the d4g down the road unless that is to Jerry’s house. He might go on strike if you send it to a strangers house. That’s some nice water pressure you have there. Stay safe, wishing you and your family the best.
There is the next DP got to be so proud of him Stay Safe...
DPJR or DP mk2 ;) DP mk II ??? eh...DP 2.0 ??
I want buy it,
My 1971 case 350 needs to be put to rest!
lol
Love the videos working with the kids
3 of my own and they always fight over who gets to help work next!
Thanks Jacob
Good video.
Thanks mike
Aw thats way to easy to service haha. Man was I glad when we got rid of the 963 high lift. Those belly pans were a real pain.
