I find that back turning a threaded piece allows you to feel the starting points of both threads to meet and "fall back" from each other. This allows the threads to start into each other cleanly. As a avid viewer of this series, it is most enjoyable to watch the reassembly of the D2 into the best machine that could be made from machine that you pulled from behind that building. I find your begrudging affection for this machine to be what hooked me, and probably a lot of others to continue watching. As it and you were being pulled around by Sr. and the steering clutch broke loose that first time...the look of hopeful optimism was infectious. There are channels that deal with similar equipment that I have seen and had to leave, because the Host was obnoxious. Or faking it till he makes it. Sorry, I've got other things to do than that. You sir, are always enjoyable to watch and everyone knows that you have and will put in the work required to have a successful rebuild. Thanks Squatch253
Squatch, we've met in the past I believe when I was a kid through some sort of ACMOC meet up or something. Maybe even the 2008 best show on tracks. I'm George "Willie" dulinskys grandson Jacob! I have acquired his collection of antique cats and need resources like you to help revive a few of them! Let me know how we can link up properly!
Holy cow! I knew this day would come, but did not expect it to be so soon. It is all coming in to focus. A lot of very determined work went into making that assembly go so smoothly.
Assembling the D2 after everything is rebuilt, cleaned up , etc. is the reward for all your hard work!! As much as I enjoyed hearing the pony and diesel fire up for the first time this video was even more enjoyable. The next will be when it moves under its own power!! Damn its looking GOOD!!
Covid is just the distraction, while we struggle with masks or not, vaxx or not, employment or not our elected officials and bureaucrats behind the curtain are quietly removing our private property rights, our right to travel, our right to assemble, banning protest, our ability to use cash money and bringing in digital id and digital currency and now seizing peoples bank accounts.

Covid is the mechanism by which they are destroying the middle class and private/mom and pop businesses.

Thank you, Rain Coast.
You are a wealth of knowledge and have a way of explaining things perfectly. Can learn a lot from your videos. Thank you for taking the time to record your work!!
I think my favorite moment was when the new gasket and cover went on over the main clutch. I was remembering back to when you and Senior were salvaging 1113 and it had piece of wood for that cover. Much better now!
To get real old "skool" solidly built, well over engineered machinery restored, the research, the meticulous detail into every single nut, bolt and washer - or shim - expertly documented and narrated is such a bloody satisfying thing to watch and listen to. Thank you , Toby. I enjoyed senior's vid too, hoping that some one would sort that mag tester out - I thought of Kenny like many others. Also hope he gets some more sap out of those trees! Bless your dear father, mine will be 86 in july.
Toby, this has been such a fun rebuild to watch, I have enjoyed every episode. This vidio was awesome. I sure look forward to the finish and hear her run. Thank you for all of the vidios
For this episode, mostly I was enjoying the camera work....plus the drama of will this nut get the heck on its bolt! But the best was the interior shots of gear meshing--never before in my viewing experience....kudos to the camera guy!
I have to sort of laugh when I watch how carefully you put together your cat. When I was much younger I worked at a machine shop in East Peoria. They had bins full of mushroomed out hammers of various sizes. The owner explained that these were what they constructed the cats with. He gave me several of the machined down hammers which I still have. Later I saw them in the plant.
Boy Oh Boy are you and Pacific Hillbilly fascinating to watch as you're rebuilding your Dozers. For an old multi diploma mechanic on everything from small engines, motorcycles, Coast Guard radial seaplane engines and turboshaft Helocopter engines (plus aircraft ground support diesel engines) the way you guys show and explain in detail what your doing every step of the way pretty much qaulifies you guys to actually be Vocational school instructors if you chose to pass on your knowledge and work habits to another generation. Thanks for the entertainment you provided.
I first saw a D-2 in 1980. A bridge contractor whose yard was across the road from ours had it. The owner told me he was going to restore it and teach his grandchildren how to be Cat-skinners. It looked to be complete, and in about as good shape as yours was when you started this project. The D-2 is proof that superior engineering is timeless. I can almost feel the master clutch snap in and out. Great job!
You had me puzzled me for a while with the ‘acorn nut’ we over this side of the pond call them castle’ated nuts (my spell checker won’t let me spell it properly) - have a nice day
When I was younger, I use to always wonder what it would have been like to sit back and watch Michelangelo paint the Sistine Chapel. Hmmmm.....I imagine I would have gotten the same feeling as I watch you work. Beautiful and wonderfully satisfying!!!
We’ve arrived at another benchmark. This is going very well for both you and for us, your loyal viewers. Given the precise fitting and incremental quality control, we’re expecting you to be able to start up, drive out of the shop, hook up an implement and go do a days work. Great video today! 🥸👍🔧✅
Awesome video Squatch , loved the shot inside the bell housing, how many people have ever saw that happening in real life? Part of me was kind of sad though, thinking how old we are going to be, when you were putting the finals on, when the next guy pulls it apart and the clutch pacts see the light of day again!! LOL
What a treat! Man, this has to be the nicest D2 around. Everything was rebuilt with the good book in hand and the diligence of the Squatch JR at the helm.
First of all, i have to say you did a FANTASTIC job !!! You have set a benchmark in restoration business, i am shure a lot of viewers are with me. I enjoy every video of this and other series, even with your dad ! Big, big respect from germany !
I do not think most appareciate how smooth you make assembly look and the skill to get the clutch plates all lined up before hand. Until you've done one you have no idea. My hat is off to you... you've made it look easy. Well done sir.
We are a week away from a finished project. It’s a pleasure to see all your meticulous work come to this. It’s worth mentioning how not-dirty your hands were after the build: it speaks to how exacting your work has thus far been. The fact that you are able to run all your threads down by hand is also testament to your eye for detail. There’s a small corner of me that’s disappointed to see this project come to its conclusion: it’s a real pleasure to see you work and bring together your innate skill, your demanding standard and your immense knowledge. Thanks Squatch. I am waiting on my resto coming back from paint. When that happens, I will be documenting the restoration just as you have. I have learned a great deal from you and the techniques you use: welding out a seized race is a great way of shifting it! Thanks again. Peace.
I once used a rebuild a carburettor on a ride on mower! The mower never ran again. I have loved every episode of this rebuild, and am looking forward to the first dirt push. Thanks Squatch.
Damn I never thought I would find any info for this old caterpillar, it has been like 12 or 15 years since my dad got his old 1925 (I think) tractor parked in the ranch and once he told me he will never get it running again in life, he passed away on September 2019. So I´m planning on making it work again, gotta fix a lot of things like the alignment on the sprocket and the rollers, fix the pony motor carb and a lot of leaks and problems, it was running good when parked, but the elements must have done some damage. Thanks for the info!
🎉🎈WoooHooo 🎈🎉🎊 Congratulations it's a D2. I love the entire rebuild series. It is a little bittersweet the rebuild series coming to its conclusion but as one door closes a new door and long future opens for the D2 #5J1113, Squatch253, Senior & the rest of us. Thanks for the ride so far. It has been quite the education you and Senior are quite the teachers. 👍
It's so strange (in a good way!) seeing it go together in minutes. Almost every memory i have of old cats is of repairing them in terrible conditions 😂
Those old caterpillar were so simple that a kindergarten kit can work with them, I used to call that child toys. What happened to the anti seized that you are supposed to use to prevent corrosion for the next time repairs? I have no doubts of your knowledge in this impressive and outstanding work of engineering.
@@squatch253 congratulations, you have been doing an outstanding job on that toy, most kind of you and each and every one that one way or another collaborated in order to put these videos and shear them with us, blessings to you and love ones, from the endless summer paradise Puerto Rico, Jesús Torres.
And with the snap of your fingers it looks like a D2 again! Aside from tracks all of your heavy lifting I’d done my friend - the most time consuming part of the tracks for you is going to be swapping the pads, that’s a lot of hardware and surface prep 👍
I've been watching Squatsch's videos for at least 5 years and I'm still amazed at how he and Senior approach the projects. With expertise, dedication and seemingly infinite patience when things don't turn out as planned. I look forward to the day of seeing 5J1113 and 5U7066 in action together. Greetings from Lower Saxony.
Good morning, I’ve been watching the project for about two years now and look forward to every episode. If you didn’t know the D2 before now, your an expert now. Congratulations on completing this one look forward to the rollout. When I was a kid I lived in a mining town and they used a D1 to plow the streets in the winter and to level the ore in the ships. Great videos thank you.
I just about squirted my lunch out my nose while watching the fly wheel view moving and suddenly hearing the "Squatch-in-the-can" voice. Nice build video!
There just something artistic about this project. The clean bolts, castings, gears, etc... It all looks so great, operates flawlessly, and as a bonus it still carries it's original patina! Great work, Squatch!!!
WWAAAHHHOOOOOO!! It went together!! I have been waiting ssooooo long to see this moment. Wonderful! Just Wonderful! Am I overly excited about this stage? Maybe. But to each their own.
the first video I watched of yours was the freeing the clutches video for this machine. 3 years ago now? to see it all go back together now is so rewarding, I can only imagine how you feel about it. Can't wait to see it run.
So nice to see this episode. I can't wait to see it finished and the first run. This episode was very well done. I kept thinking about how I was impressed that you were doing this solo and working around the camera to get these bolts started! Well done.

I find that back turning a threaded piece allows you to feel the starting points of both threads to meet and "fall back" from each other. This allows the threads to start into each other cleanly. As a avid viewer of this series, it is most enjoyable to watch the reassembly of the D2 into the best machine that could be made from machine that you pulled from behind that building. I find your begrudging affection for this machine to be what hooked me, and probably a lot of others to continue watching. As it and you were being pulled around by Sr. and the steering clutch broke loose that first time...the look of hopeful optimism was infectious.
There are channels that deal with similar equipment that I have seen and had to leave, because the Host was obnoxious. Or faking it till he makes it. Sorry, I've got other things to do than that. You sir, are always enjoyable to watch and everyone knows that you have and will put in the work required to have a successful rebuild. Thanks Squatch253
Squatch, we've met in the past I believe when I was a kid through some sort of ACMOC meet up or something. Maybe even the 2008 best show on tracks.
I'm George "Willie" dulinskys grandson Jacob!
I have acquired his collection of antique cats and need resources like you to help revive a few of them!
Let me know how we can link up properly!
Holy cow! I knew this day would come, but did not expect it to be so soon. It is all coming in to focus. A lot of very determined work went into making that assembly go so smoothly.
Hfe makes it look East just perfect preperation
Right ! It’s like when your kids grew up so fast and left for college. Not ready for it to end. What are we going to do now?!
Gotta love homemade locating dowels, even when they do hit the lifting eye on the final drive 😁
@@squatch253 I did, looking good though!! 👍
Kyle it’s amazing how the eye of a mechanic catches those kinds of things!
@@squatch253 lol.
I sussed that one Toby, I guess we've all been there at one time or another.
That was a great shift, taking shape nicely👍👍
guess I got to watch it again😁
I'm lost for words just shows how all that precision building paid off well done Toby looking forward as always for more
The engineering on these old machines is top notch

I don't think anyone could have said it better. Almost time to pass out the cigars!
One thing that I learned working on equipment is that it is better to use self locking nuts wherever possible. Zero chance of them backing off.
The clutch disc teeth into the flywheel shot was amazing! Bravo Squatch!
The feel of factory new clutches!
si j'ai bien regardé, TOUT a eté démonté et remonté !!!!!!!extraordinaire !!!!
As Hannibal Smith used to say, “I love it when a plan comes together”. Great job!
You are a wealth of knowledge and have a way of explaining things perfectly. Can learn a lot from your videos. Thank you for taking the time to record your work!!
Great to see another CAT coming back to Life-
Great video and explanations too!!
I think my favorite moment was when the new gasket and cover went on over the main clutch. I was remembering back to when you and Senior were salvaging 1113 and it had piece of wood for that cover. Much better now!

Wow, it's like we are at chapter 20 of a really good 24 chapter book.
You are a Cat D2 Expert! You know and understand every nut and bolt on those machines!
Starting to look like a tractor/dozer again. Great job!
One thing I like about your videos is that you use hand tools.
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! I can’t believe it’s going back together! It’s looking outstanding!
Retired packaging machine repairman Food, Chemical and Pharmaceutical industries...great to see someone using alignment pins on assembly!
Wow just like that it's starting to look like a cat it's going to great to see run under its own power . Can't wait.

As always you are by far one of the most enjoyable perfectionist I have ever seen on any hands on video. Thanks for the last 2 years
Like the contrast between refurbished old & new interior parts and the old original paint housings/covers, hope it runs like a new one
Very nice! They go together shockingly fast once all the sub assemblies are together!

Getting closer. Very exciting to see the process moving ahead!
Golden Ore collection has started! This assembly is the thing, you worked incradibely hard for it.
I’ve followed this from day one. Amazing!
Nice, clean work makes for a class A reassembly!
I will definitely never rebuild a Cat but I have really enjoyed this series. Looking forward to seeing this machine drive ouf of the shop!

WWAAAHHHOOOOOO!! It went together!! I have been waiting ssooooo long to see this moment. Wonderful! Just Wonderful! Am I overly excited about this stage? Maybe. But to each their own.
Great job! Made that final drive assembly look easy with your alignment dowels.
2:20 what a great camera angle!
Fascinating to say the least
Don'tcha love it when a plan comes together.
Loved the shot at 3:00. Bringing in the trans.
*- I can hear and see the 'feel' of how smooth the handle controls on the D2 are moving. **15:31*
This is really exciting. Now that most of it's attached, you have lots more floor space. Thanks for the video.
This is awesome to watch, can’t wait to see it move under its own power!
So Gratifying to see all your hard work come together time the party
the first video I watched of yours was the freeing the clutches video for this machine. 3 years ago now? to see it all go back together now is so rewarding, I can only imagine how you feel about it.
Can't wait to see it run.
Tha tis looking soooo Good that has too feel so good for you to see that tractor at this point of completion! YEAH!
Nice! A Cat D2 assembly in about 26 1/2 minutes. 😁 Great video Squatch. Getting really close now to it moving under its on power again.
Things are coming along nicely! Looking forward to the next video. Cheers squatch253
Thank you Squatch! 🇺🇸🚜👍
So nice to see this episode. I can't wait to see it finished and the first run. This episode was very well done. I kept thinking about how I was impressed that you were doing this solo and working around the camera to get these bolts started! Well done.
Very nice! 1113 is looking so cool. You're cinematography and narration is excellent. I believe you have a created a second career 🙂
East central illinois here. Thankyou sir
Due to all your prior prep the D2 is going together so smoothly, like you are assembling a brand new dozer but it looks so much cooler. 👍😎
This was fun to watch. I have viewed every single episode, I actually think I've seen every video you've posted.
I'm retired and I hate regular TV. It much rather learn things, such as how machines were made 80 years ago.
When everything is right it goes so smooth!
Smoother than the shit from a duck's ass! :)
