I changed a set of tracks 52 years ago on a D8 we had no equipment as you have and there was no Bla Bla Bla either......................which made the job easier.
I love heavy machinery! When I was little dad used to bring me to a railroad crossing and I watched passing freight trains for hours and never got tired. I also loved watching tractors and heavy trucks leaving tacks in mud. I still do!
My father was a sewer/waterline contractor. We moved to a 100 acre "weekend farm" in '82 when I was 12. I grew up around Cat, Komatsu & Case excavators, dozers, backhoes & payloaders. Life was like living in a giant Tonka Toy world. Back then there was nothing better than being awakened at 5:30 in the morning by the distant sound of Gus unloading a Cat 225/235 off the lowboy down on Masters road. On those days I'd get home from school, throw my books where ever, put on my "dirty clothes" and go find whoever was doing whatever work on the property. All the operators knew when they saw me standing a safe distance away, staring in their direction, that they needed to throttle down and let me climb up on the tracks and get myself situated standing next to them in the doorway before they could get back to work. I loved that better than any amusement park ride that existed.
I'm glade for you, I pray all goes well, I'm a retired HDR/W. 75, I serviced the first Cat Demo D10 that came to Southern CA, Later it was actioned off, McCoys, bought it, I moved over to that company for years, and again I was watch dog over that cat and the like, and one day I asked what came of it, The super told me it was cut up for scrap. I was shocked. After that the early first production of the D11..with rippers, ... came out of a coal mine. used it up above Canyon Lake. lots of blue granite up there, Denny McCoy got ticked off watching an operator battle the rock with a D9L, kicks the operator off, jumps in the seat and commences tear up the rock, but all he accomplished was to actually tear off the ripper assembly. and that is how we came by the D-11. I assembled it, only to discover the engine had a rod of two rapped around the crank. got it fix, That was something 40 years ago. It was all new to us back then, we had to learn as we went. Today I know nothing. They call the Yellow Iron we used back in the day,to put the beans on our table antics. The Lord Be With You.
So wise , Thank You . Another Fine example of why you collect so many machines . Thank You for Showing Casey and another fine use of the Zacklift in action.
HI Quinton, being somewhat dyslexic I glanced at the title and saw IDOT and being right brained I added an extra I making it and idiot dozer! Love your channel! Please forgive dyslexic people!
Interesting process to watch - thanks for bringing us along! Of course, it's made even better when we get Casey and the ZackLift as a bonus (and we have to have the banter). Thought about you when I saw some heavy equipment being moved outside Ely a few weeks ago while I was down to Vegas on vacation.
I swear i saw something about breaking both tracks at the same time in a training video... All well. When ya work with heavy equipment, you gotta Shake Hands With Danger sometimes.
Can’t thank you enough for taking the time to record how you changed out these tracks. For years I have wondered how it’s done. That is big very heavy equipment your working with, one can get hurt in a heart beat. I’ve noticed the care you take for safety👍, thank you. Not counting cost for changing out that whole track assembly that you took off of another machine and put on this one, what did the tracks cost and what did the labor cost come to? Great video, well edited, very informative and educational video. We’re watching from Missouri.
I'm a new subscriber & enjoyed this video. How little it takes to disassemble something like this is surprising. It seems the rub is that everything is so heavy. I can't figure how you install that heavy subframe onto that big pivot point without hammering up the fragile seal on the inside of the frame. Time to watch some of your previous videos. Great channel - keep the episodes coming!!
Wow, I’m genuinely impressed by the durability of that old excavator! It's incredible to see how it keeps going strong despite its age. It’s a true testament to how well-built machines can stand the test of time when taken care of properly
Thanks for the solid video and also thanks for the subscribe reminder. I know everyone clowns on the "like and subscribe" but youd be surprised how easy it is to forget to do those things so its always a good idea to throw that in lol
I'm a cat dealer tech. I spend every day working on machines. My lady says I'm a weirdo to watch someone else do what I do. Gotta say heavy equipment is an addiction 😂
Nothing better than the sound of a Cat engine... Those new tracks look really good. They should have some serious bite and last a long time. It's too bad you had to replace the track frame too.
"Nothing better than the wound of a Cat engine"... Especially the older Cats! I'm not a mechanical person but grew up around a lot of big Cats and they sound different to me now than when I was around them as a kid through the 80's.
Just found your channel. You most definitely have a new subscriber! I would much rather spend time watching your content than the crap coming out of Hollywood.
One issue thought you guys where gonna put new idler wheels on it but you didnt it would be easier with the track off than having to take them apart again 😊
When are you going to source a Lincoln pneumatic grease pump that sits on a 33 gallon barrel of grease. Take a strong pallet and mount it with a small gasoline powered air compressor so you can move it around easily ?
Dude in the overalls had a very unfunny head trauma scar, wtf happened there?! Working on these things is super interesting, the scale of the parts is mind blowing! Only thing more serious is marine engineering.
That's scars scary as F! Whatever happened the man's obviously lucky to be alive, even more so not to be a drooling vegetable. Am guessing he's quite proud of it or he'd wear a hat to cover it up
(16:07-29:26): On day two, they reassemble the new track frame after securing seals and a new retaining ring. The team faces minor challenges but successfully attaches the frame, fills it with oil, and aligns the new tracks beneath the machine.
Greetings from Ohio. I was about to ask if anyone knew where this work is being done ..... then you mentioned Elko ... I would assume it's Elko in Nevada. Long time since I was out in your part of the country.
Welding up bogies is the absolute worst way to hold bogies up, i saw a bogie fall down on a guys arm using that method when the weld did not hold onto the cast bogie pin cap, if you get 2 pieces of 4 x 2 hardwood and wedge them down the back of the idler from the top and hammer them in with a 14lb hammer to make them tight then get a 6ft length of 3/8 chain with a single dog and loop it over and around rollers 4 & 5 and dog it off. Then when you lift the machine up the chain holds the middle bogies up and the timber jammed in the idler the end bogies, when you put the frames back on and lower the machine down takes 2 minutes to remove the timber and chain. No mucking around with welders and cutting shit off.
I was thinking they left the i out of ID10T but then idiots can’t spell. Keep them coming Quinton. How else am I going to learn big iron repair. Casey filming for Yank’em again?
Rental??? How much you charge to rent a beast like that? 6:54 you're hired. Don't you have a service truck with a compressor? 23:07 why wouldn't you lay down the new track and drop the replacement track frame down on it?
Those growsers on those track pads are gone. I have never used itr undercarriage parts, how to they compare to OEM caterpillar undercarriage parts? I need to replace the undercarriage on my D6 very soon.

Your brain is correct, the sticker is wrong
ID10T error is common parlance in IT for an error caused by an idiot
The size of these machines on camera is wild, I imagine in person they are even more impressive

We did it on Bradley's everytime we had to change track pads

Watching from New Zealand, and Casey's channel.
9:21 his mechanic has a lot of respect for heavy machinery. Not his first rodeo.
Awsome!! I had so many good suggestions...but I've never done this before.
One of your best videos ever, those are some serious tracks
I enjoy seeing the other side of the video production! Thank you.
Even though Casey doesn't smoke weed, he's still an ok guy, lol 😆 great work, guys. Good stuff 🇺🇸🇺🇲
😂😂
"OK guys" do not smoke weed!!
New to the channel very cool stuff.
The new track looks like a giant snake going on the machine.
Look at Casey teaching lever school lol good video guys
Must be nice having a D-10 parts dozer!!!
Wow you guys are fast it only took 46 minutes to change the track frame and tracks!
big machinery maintenance and upkeep is fascinating
Great job and content! Those rails and pads look great.

On the Andrew Carmarta scale it’s a ten outta ten for Quinton.
Weld up the bogies goes a lot smoother that way
Drive the front of the machine up on blocks, crib the front and use the ripper to pick the back end up

Heck, yeah buddy!

I was at a landfill yesterday and saw what was left of a D10 that had a serious fire underneath, they told me it was probably done.
I want it!
OSHA would like a word with you about walking near a working winch
Once the Chains are Cut - The D11 IS FREE TO ROLL !- NO BRAKES
Surprised you never replaced the frame pivot seals while it was apart.
And new tracks with new sprocket segments is almost a sun.
Watch the whole video, the segments are already installed. They did not show up in time for the video
I enjoyed this !
I’m quite sure you said you were putting new idlers on, seems crazy to not do thay with new rails and grousers.???

@@andrewrees8749 I just thought it was funny he pointed out there was no wear on them.
Like working on anything else but 1000 times harder and more dangerous. Not for the faint of heart or shallow of pockets.
Boy that looks super safe having the lifting strap hanging on an old wore out looking bucket tooth. Where is OSHA when you need them.
They are off in India checking the safety sandals on the welders.😅

Just curious-how much does a set of new tracks for the D10T cost?
This beautiful work
How much cost?
23:32 shake hands with danger!! That’s how you lose a hand if that load moves or that fork lift driver touches anything.
Spare parts for Italian "ITR", how much does this track chain assembly cost in US dollars?
