    We would put sprocket segments on it and keep on running it to failure. All the parts are scrap except pads so might as well just run it out.

    Ask Cat if they could schedule you for PMs or if they even do it in your area.
    "Preventative maintenance schedule "
    PMs do cost a little money, but they also save money in preventing big money repairs.

    It is nice to see people who wants to work, it isn't a case of how much they expect earn, it is about having employment. Growing I was always looking for opportunities to work, I bucked bails for farmers at one penny a bail, I picked wild blackberries for one dollar a gallon, I worked in the family business and learned to butcher animals. Growing up my days started at five am and didn't end till there wasn't anything else to do....

    G day from Australia Ryan a bit of my history mate 50 years earthmoving the last 26 in waste l watch your ytube channel quite often. From my experience i can see you have a lot going on you are one man you can not be everywhere,i make reference here to your cat d6 this machine should not have got to this stage with the running gear. From my experience you need a good plant supervisor or manager who can keep on top of all maintenance. (Preventive maintenance) That said we enjoy watching how you guys do things over there.

    Hey Mr Digg sorry you screwed up your dozer that sucks. Interesting to think about but I'm 56 years old and the county dump where I was raised has expanded at least to 20 times the size it was when I was a kid. And there are mountains built there it is crazy to watch it expand over the years.

    Thanks for the video Mr Digg hopefully Mother Nature is in a better mood and the rain's not too bad
    But we have to have some bad days so we appreciate the good days more 👍
    P.S. Might be an idea to ask about bottom roller guards or "quarry spec" for the Cat
    You're definitely into new pads, track chains and sprockets but fingers crossed that the idlers and top and bottom rollers aren't too beat up from the worn chains riding over them
    As has been mentioned C & C Equipment might be able to help
    Keep smiling bro you're the reason we're all here 👍

  • @brian7327
    @brian7327 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Ryan have them save the pads have Aaron order in some grouser bar to weld on pads it will lengthen grouser bars and save a ton of money looks like you might have to change the rails but I'd ask about turning the pins and bushings they may be to far gone also ask them what it would cost to have another set of final drive segments on hand for next undercarriage might lengthen your tail Life id also have Aaron run some hard face rod on Cross hatch pattern on corner of blade skin considering that is hard wear point also you can hard face the idlers to lengthen there Life id say you hit it close at 50 grand this time around but you can do some of the measures I spoke of earlier to save you thousands in the long run

    Well?? 🤷🏻‍♂️ time flys by and it’s not like you only have “ one” thing to worry about about 🤦‍♂️ For years I ran a baby 450 an asked it to do a D8 job. But when I started it had new sprockets new web & pins an bushings tread plates had new bars welded on. Working in gravel and 80% pure sand . In two years it was too late to turn the bushings 🤦‍♂️. Motor wise? She was top notch maintenance done but I knew the tracks had just been re built an just assume had a life time of use . Well like you I was sadly mistaken 😱 it was actually cheaper for me to buy a complete track ( drive 1 pin in and go ) than the labor to salvage the tread plates they were at just 55% . Grandfather always told me “ son we don’t learn anything in life unless we make mistakes “😂😂 he was right!! Sorry to hear about the dozer but don’t beat yourself up on it your only one man you can’t be 100 different places at the same time. ❤ I know what I told you don’t help the pocketbook but your not the only one who made the boo boo 🫣
