Hello David. Thank you very much, I am glad you enjoyed the video. Yeah I really needed more room around this side of the mill building for the buzz saw and tractor. Hey you are very welcome, thank you for watching and commenting. You have a great day. Cheers.
Hello Randy, Yeah I must say I like ole Smokie... Thanks Randy, I always loved operating a dozer, I find it very peaceful. Lol yeah this thing uses 1/2 gallon of engine oil every 5 hours now. Thanks again. You have a great day...Cheers.
Good morning Cecil,,, now that you have the cab on smoky, you may as well hang a gal of oil with a tube going to the motor.... ha ha.... love old machines, I say run them till they die and then plant flowers around them....
Good morning Denis....A man who thins like I do lol, yeah, get em cheap use em till you can't patch em anymore..than park them till you can find cheap parts or trade em off on something else you can use. You have a great day. Cheers.
Won't have to worry about skeeters with that thing.... Those old tractors although a little long in the tooth can still do a lot of work. While not a D9 it still has a lot of push left in it. Case made a good dozier. With a little care it can do lots of work.
Hello Jeff. Thank you I am glad you enjoyed the video. Yeah I think a Dozer of this size up here is about $125.00 per hour plus delivery. Thanks again. You have a great day. Cheers.
Hello Derek. lol Yeah I wanted it gone alright. Thank you very much I really enjoy playing around with dozers. Thanks again. You have a great day. Cheers.
Hello Red. It sure is a fun toy for sure, I really enjoy running dozers...Yeah I couldn't imagine doing this all by hand :-( . Thanks again. You have a great day. Cheers.
Off Grid Homesteader Cecil E Skinner You bet, hire a contractor with a machine that size and you’re paying at minimum $100/hr. I have an old International T6, does the job and cheap to run!
I remember when you first started clearing with that little John Deere dozer. This one ya got now sure makes short work of things. Good job. Cheers from Missouri
Thanks, I was oping I could get it running somewhat once I traded... I was pretty sure it just needed an inline fuel pump, Oh and a set or piston rings will make all the difference. Fortunately these old 188D case engines are easy to get parts for. Thanks again. You have a great day...Cheers.
They never made an easyer motor to rebuild it even has sleaves and ill say even half compreshion runing on 21/2 cylinders they are little power house id never even know my motor neded referbish except it wouldent start without eather and smoke never went away it sat frozen 25 years freed her up over few days of marvel mistery oil and she started ran with 3 pistons having broken rings and hade balls smoke coming from valvcover vent and dip stick
bring on the VAC I did not get a chance to operate one but I do like them. I has been awhile since we got to see yours run, we will be waiting to see it back in action.
Hello, yeah I am impressed with the old dozer. I think maybe an engine overhaul may be in it's future. These 188D Case engines are fairly easy to do. Thanks again. You have a great day. Cheers.
Hello...There are a lot of worn out dozers like this one just sitting around. For most companies it's not worth repairing something this old. Thanks again. Cheers.
Good morning Larry... Don't be so sure of that lol, It ended up costing me a few hours of work that I will show in a future video, but I do love your positivity :-) Thanks again. You have a great day. Cheers.
Hey Cecil, just a quick question, why do you not pile all that waste and burn it , wouldn't that be easier and more efficient, rather than pushing it into the bush, ?
Hello Jeffrey. We just want this brush gone now...We've had a fire ban on all summer here, so no burning. this brush is right at the edge of a ravine and will get buried as we do more levelling of the back yard. Thanks again. Cheers.
Really that's not a bad price at all, a couple loads of wood would pay that off completely, then the rest would be gravy except a little for gas and to haul your logs out. Cheers.
Hello Catagator. I tried, the track adjusters leak grease as fast as I pump them up....Needs an adjuster kit ( $35.00 ) per side. Maybe someday lol. Thanks, it does have some problems, but nothing that can't be fixed though. Thanks again. You have a great day. Cheers.
Hello Eddie. I am glad you enjoy my videos, thank you. Yeah an engine rebuild kit for these 188D Case engines are quite cheap to purchase. Thanks again. Cheers.
Lol this is not that bad, I've drove dozers for companies that went through a gallon every 5 hours, mine would only be 2 gallons per 40 hours per week = roughly 34 dollars in oil every week.
A neighbour had it, but it was barely running ...I traded him a farm tractor I payed $1500 for, Turns out the dozer only needed an electric fuel pump to be usable. Cheers.
Hello Cecil, this small old beast still smokes the sky :-))) You are like a demolition man there ^_____^ Cool work and music :-)) especially this free of license Fresh Fallen Snow w/guitar :-)) BTW, dry birch trees are very good for firewood. And will you use this Cecildozer to get some timber? :-))) Cheers!
Hello. Yeah I am happy to have this dozer...even with all of it's problems and quirks. Thanks, I just gotta get er done, yeah I really like that tune. Thanks again. You have a great day...Cheers.
Not Sure you must be young ! I can remember when every commercial vehicle in Europe belched smoke of one colour or another ! I would not even call that little dozer particularly smoky !
Hello Roland. I think you are right on the money....get the snow over the hill so when it melt it is all gone right away. Thanks again. You have a great day. Cheers.
nice video guys that little dozer seems to run like a dream btw I'm looking to by an older bobcat or possibly an engine for the one i have its a bobcat 825 from the 70'ds but it takes a 4 cylinder diesel Perkins engine if u know of any i would consider taking a ride up and maybe i could bring that foam for u at the same time, kill 2 birds with one stone but don't feel any pressure just an idea anyways god bless and cheers
Hello Lou. Thank you very much, I do enjoy running it that's for sure....I will keep my eyes and ears open or an engine for you. Thanks again. You have a great day. Cheers.
Hello Colin. No I've ran dozers that burned more than this in one day just from bad injectors washing the cylinders down. But I do know the rings are bad lol. But so far I've gotten 80 hours work done on 4 gallons of oil. If I had to hire a dozer here at $100 per hour, this would have cost me $8000 in total. Someday I'll do an engine job on it. Thanks again. You have a great day. Cheers.
Wonder if a cylinder isent firing compreshion loss y it smokes so much it have it runing crack each line at the injector what ever one if it hapens crack each line one buy one and the one that dosent make the motor run worse isent firing plus check compreshion pull the head re ring it me dad did ares for 200$ beter then killing the motor and tthey have sleaves so 350 if hole piston sleave redo
Used a dozer just like that logging my last load of the year. Road blew in with snow and had to use the dozer to make a path out. My log truck was all wheel drive and chained up on all tires. Snowed 3 to 4 feet and it was all we could do to get out of that one! Even had a Unimog with a snow blower. Wind was blowing snow in right behind us. Good ole days!!!
Ill say its worth every penny of 1500 even if you put 5000 into it guy like you besides funds knows how to go right threw the hole thing its worth $15000 RUNING GOOD AND FIXED UP AND IM SHOUR THE PRICE IS GOING UP BUT SO ARE PARTS
Thanks your hat is in Japanese Territory sitting on the Yoke fixing to head to Ontario to drop Personal Protection Equipment to the GOVEEEERRRRNNMENT. Dang I did get delivered onboard some American made Subway foot long Sandwiches and Unsweet Ice Tea... Will eat once I get us out of here and on the way to the Refuel Stop. I have three pilots on board today I am the Chief so I get to Pick the food first LOL yes right....Did you know we have sleeping cabins in this big Crate? It's Like Camping in the Air. Like a Air B&B but ya gotta be qualified. Be safe You and Heather.
Wow that's very cool. hey do you ever get to Timmins or Sudbury airport? Or just the larger ones. The closest strip to us is Earlton.....but it's more for landing Chickadees' not Eagles lol. Thanks again and you have a safe flight, must be nice to take a nap in one of those. Thanks again. You have a great day. Cheers.
Hello James. This old engine came out of a backhoe or a loader....I think it's a lot of hours of revving at high rpm's I kinda think the rings are shot, the compression is pretty low. Thanks again. Cheers.
Sorry bro What a mess You live in such a place of beauty You make it like a rubbish tip The old dozzer spent $1500 then cause $20 000 worth of pollution Must be a Trump supporter 🤷♂️🤷♂️ Land of the Free
I'm glad Steve, the place where I'm pushing this brush is on the edge of a ravine...this winter rabbits, groundhogs and Grouse will make good use of this brush. You have a great day. Cheers.
Off Grid Homesteader Cecil E Skinner Rabbit pie & grouse Great 🤗🤗Any other wild meats Surely you don’t eat ground hogs 🥴🥴Unless you eat them every day 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 So our wild rabbits over here 🇬🇧 are not fit enough to eat these days Myxomatosis is rife Some train of thought says it’s introduced 🤷♂️ Looks amazing where you are though Bet you can hear the grass & trees growing 👍👍👍
Yeah our Rabbits are pretty bony here, but I sure ate a lot growing up though. No we don't eat groundhogs at all, I just find a small spot with brush keeps them out of our gardens. My wife and I raise most of our own meat....We have 5 Turkeys this year, 31 meat Chickens and 4 large gardens, we also pick our own mushrooms, we have no external power coming in...just our solar, we are trying to be as self reliant as possible here. I grew up very poor and I'm used to getting worn out equipment cheap and trying to get our work done. The sawmill I built was made from junk parts as well, I know the stuff I do here is not for a lot of folks and looks not so good at times, but we just love doing things for ourselves. Thanks again Steve, You have a great day. P.S. I posted a new video just now if you're interested...it shows how much we've done here since clearing the trees and brush from the road to the house here. Cheers.
I like hearing the sounds of the equipment working without the music good video just love to hear the real sound
Another great video working on making the homestead more productive and giving you more room around the saw mill. Thank you for sharing.👍🇨🇦

The dozer does a good job clearing out the mosquitos 😎
Hello John, yeah no more mosquitoes left in Northern Ontario today lol. Cheers.
Nice work guys
You guys are always so busy but I bet it can be very fulfilling.

Looks like a fun toy! Beats doing it by hand that's for sure.

Looking good
Hello Dorothy. Thank you very much....We miss you and Paul. How's the new place? You have a great evening and take care. Cheers.
Hi Heather & Cecil. That dozer is a powerful one. Made a nice job of clearing that land. :-))
Hello Dave. Yeah it sure gets the job done for sure. Thanks again. You take care. Cheers.
Nice work, an old dozer like that can’t be beat for clearing and landscaping.
Thank you very much. And for the price I payed, even if I only get a months worth of work from it, It's payed for it's self. Cheers.
Off Grid Homesteader Cecil E Skinner You bet, hire a contractor with a machine that size and you’re paying at minimum $100/hr. I have an old International T6, does the job and cheap to run!
That's pretty cool, my dad had an old td6 when I was a very young boy, my younger brother still has a t5 and a td5 dozer. Cheers.
I remember when you first started clearing with that little John Deere dozer. This one ya got now sure makes short work of things. Good job. Cheers from Missouri
Hello Ketch. Yeah the little John Deere, I miss that dozer...ah I think I just love bulldozers. Thanks again. You have a great day. Cheers.
Off Grid Homesteader Cecil E Skinner yeah I’d be in hog heaven if I had that little John Deere.
I almost made a trade this spring on another 420 John Deere, but I got this one instead. Cheers.
...CONGRATS HEATHER, ON 1K SUBS, GOOD JOB..
Heather says thank you... And you have a great day as well :-)
..good one, keep safe..
Thanks Bob. And You stay safe as well, Cheers my friend. :-)
That was a good trade!

Old dozer still getting the job done! 👍
Hello, Yeah kinda like me....It's getting old but still going. Thanks again Cheers.
That old 450 works pretty good , you may want to rebuild the motor sometime .they are tough as nails. I have a newer 450C works great.
Used to call it On top of Old smokey when running My 450B til I rebuilt the motor 3000 Hrs ago.
Hello Jay. That sure is a fitting name for this ole girl. Some day this one will get a kit as well. Thanks again. You have a great day. Cheers.
They never made an easyer motor to rebuild it even has sleaves and ill say even half compreshion runing on 21/2 cylinders they are little power house id never even know my motor neded referbish except it wouldent start without eather and smoke never went away it sat frozen 25 years freed her up over few days of marvel mistery oil and she started ran with 3 pistons having broken rings and hade balls smoke coming from valvcover vent and dip stick
bring on the VAC I did not get a chance to operate one but I do like them. I has been awhile since we got to see yours run, we will be waiting to see it back in action.
Hello Frank. This Case is very nice to operate as it's all hydrostatic, no steering clutches in this one. Thanks again. You have a great day. Cheers.
@@SkinnersOffGrid yes hydo. would be good but something about the VAC's that I like lol
Yeah I like the vac's as well, pretty dependable machines overall. Cheers.
Old Case pushes pretty good in spite of burning a little oil. $1500 well spent.
Hello, yeah I am impressed with the old dozer. I think maybe an engine overhaul may be in it's future. These 188D Case engines are fairly easy to do. Thanks again. You have a great day. Cheers.
Your dozer is no bull, it’s the real deal - cheers
Hello Bob. Yeah for having a worn out engine it still gets the job done. Thanks again. You have a great day..Cheers.
I’d love to have a dozer. Keep we safe, from your friends over in Alberta.
Hello...There are a lot of worn out dozers like this one just sitting around. For most companies it's not worth repairing something this old. Thanks again. Cheers.

Where I'm from, you can sell birch firewood for $3-400 per full cord in the big cities. Now I want a buzzsaw.
Hello Jeffrey. That's pretty good, yeah a Buzz saw would be great for you for sure. Thanks again. You have a great day. Cheers.
@@SkinnersOffGrid, dang. $200 fir a buzzsaw and need to convert to from flat belt to small engine power.
Really that's not a bad price at all, a couple loads of wood would pay that off completely, then the rest would be gravy except a little for gas and to haul your logs out. Cheers.
Might wanna tighten those tracks up, before you roll one off. Nice find for $1,500.00. 👍👍
Hello Catagator. I tried, the track adjusters leak grease as fast as I pump them up....Needs an adjuster kit ( $35.00 ) per side. Maybe someday lol. Thanks, it does have some problems, but nothing that can't be fixed though. Thanks again. You have a great day. Cheers.

Lol no mosquitoes for miles. Hey Cecil I’m looking for a small dozer, would you know of any down that way?
Lol yeah you got that right. I may know of a smaller dozer if your interested, I will check into it and let you know. Cheers.
Thank you Cecil.
Time you had a roof over that sew mill it s only going to rust bad do all the little jobs on the dozza gold dust out there all best
How come the dozer smoke,s a lot out the pipe too rich fuel ?
Hello Bernard...I am thinking it is a combination of bad injectors and worn piston oil rings. Cheers.
Yeah little Smokey
Yeah it sure is. It used about a gallon of engine oil every 20 hours....Still cheaper than hiring someone to do our work though. Cheers.
Holy crap
Lol this is not that bad, I've drove dozers for companies that went through a gallon every 5 hours, mine would only be 2 gallons per 40 hours per week = roughly 34 dollars in oil every week.
