The process continues. Getting ready to remove the C frame so the track frame can be removed.

- Continuing on with the process of replacing the undercarriage on this D8K. Removed the C frame here so we can then remove the track frame and repair it. At least we can laugh and joke around and have a good time doing it. Always fun to work on heavy equipment with your brother!!
I will also add that doing anything on a large piece of equipment like that, is back breaking work! Because of how heavy it is.
❤❤❤Great work nothings simple when your dealing with earthmoving gear 👍👍👍Keep up the great work Australia watching
Absolutely agree! Nothing ever seems to go as easy as it seems it should. Thanks for the encouragement!! We’ll keep at it. Cheers from Canada. 👍🏼👍🏼❤️❤️
My first thoughts were they dismantling the cat for repairs or scrap? And I was hoping that it was not for scrap? Because anything like that is worth repairing? Only because of how all of the parts were laying around the area? But I really didn't think that it was for scrap? But it crossed my mind though? Great job and a great video! Thanks for sharing this with us and have a great day
Thanks for checking out the video! We definitely aren’t scrapping it. It was just way overdue for some new undercarriage. The more we took it apart the more we found that needed some repair and attention. The track frames themselves need some welding done on them. The rest of the dozer is in great condition with quite a bit of work done on it recently. It’s definitely a runner and we are looking forward to getting it repaired and put back together. Stay tuned for more videos!!
why didn't you remove the blade first?
@Jpaydirt. Hi Jeff, first off we really enjoy your channel. It’s a pleasure to see you keeping the old iron working. You do great work!! We have been keeping a close eye on the new undercarriage being put on the D9G. You definitely got done before us.
My brother and I joked around saying “wonder if @Jpaydirt will ever see our videos”. Guess this answers that question. We had to use the C frame to lift the front of the cat because we don’t have a crane or a loader big enough to do it. Thanks for checking out the channel!!
@@JB-D8Ktv I knew there was a reason, better buy a Galion LOL
@@Jpaydirt LOL! It would sure come in handy sometimes alright. We do already have a Galion grader that hasn’t ran in 15 years. Haha. More projects to fix than there is time to do it.
Remove the dozer and frame first. Be glad they no longer have a master pin.
That’s definitely the easier way to do it for sure. We had to do it this way because we don’t have a crane or loader big enough to lift the front up. So we had to use the C frame to lift it up onto the blocks then remove the C frame. Not as convenient for sure but it still worked. Thanks for watching!
@@JB-D8Ktv You drive it onto 2 big blocks until the front is high and the machine is balanced, block the front tight, lift up the machine with the ripper and remove the 2 big blocks under the tracks then block the ripper at the brackets. Easy. Anyway you do what works. Makes dozer fixin' fun. D8 parts, too big for muscles too small for a crane. Good job boys.
@@DougDrainThanks for the good suggestion! Never thought of doing it that way. Makes sense for sure. That’s the nice thing about TH-cam and video sharing is that there are others out there like you who share their experience to help others. Appreciate you sharing that and thanks for watching as we work through this and keep these older dozers running strong.
Poorest method....................any security!!!!!!!!!...............dangerous boysssssssssssssss
