That Cat is as old as I am, and looks better.

Nice looking and sounding tractor, tough old outfits

Hyvä!On päästy kuvaan.Kiitos.😲👍❤️

Mikä ihme tämä on?😲👍❤️

There is nothing that smells as sweet as dirt, twigs, and leaves....mixed with bits of diesel and engine oil....as it warms next to a Working Bulldozer motor😎👍

Monien muistojen ranta.❤😲👍

Koti kultainen ❤

Hienoa Timo!HYVÄHYVÄ.!😲👍👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Mahtava kuva!😲👍❤

Lovely old bird the Gauntlet , i think today (2022) if Russia decides to muscle in on Finland all the Finns will need is a handful of these to knock the living daylights out of the Russians .

Kiitos Timo!❤❤❤❤❤❤

Ei voi olla totta!Katselen tässä omaa pihaani.Kiitos Timo.😃👋❤

Mahtavaa !Kiitos Timo.😲👍❤

Upeaa!Huippu video.😲👍🇫🇮

a D 339 engine is a D342 with two cylinders chopped off

Well done 👍👍💯%

The helmet is sensible, a cloth cover in an open cockpit less so.

That is one of two remaining planes of that model and only one flying.

I was 11 years old when I was treated to some time in the cab - this reminded me strongly. Many thanks !!

I enjoyed your Cat D7 presentation. Well Done 🚜👍

*Lands in Britain in that plane* *arrested for antisemitism*

veri nais

Finland and Norway forever :-)

Great video and nice clearing in the forest. Was the area used for farming or to make a great big BBQ party area for roasting pork and drinking beer ?

I found these specs on the Internet: Technical data: Span 9.99m, length 8.00 m, empty weight 1,340 kg, equipped 1,800 kg, max level speed at sea level 300 km/h [186 mph], engine Alvis Leonides 520 hp.

I am not offended by the markings on the Gloster Gauntlet Mk. II but I suspect there will be some complaints. Thanks for posting.

Mukava pätkä.....

Nice job 👍

hello sir what model of engine 4cylinder please the arrangement number of that engine please reply to me

Terrible camera work.

power full machine and long life

It must have been bloody cold flying an open cockpit in Finland during winter.

needs grousers like mine! good lookin Cat

Mahtava kone. Kuskikin on kiertänyt muutakin kuin tahkoa...

That's running really well,...nice video !

Ran E's and F's and preferred F's if they were set up right. That E was like a 6-B I ran with the foot tilt but I saw that one had a pony motor. Always were partial to the ponies. Start in any weather and the old 4-banger snort is a sound to hear! Good job!

We logged with both the 48A-D7E and 94N-D7F back in the early 1980s. These machines were equipped with Esco hydraulic booms and 100-inch Esco grapples, which replaced winches and chokers. I was fortunate to spend a lot of time running both models. The Es got more power to the ground, as they were several thousand pounds heavier in the front end. The F-models were easier to maintain and service, as the 3306 engines were set up with modern spin-on filters. Both types of engines shared similar power ratings. The engine in the E was the 4-cylinder version of the huge inline-6 that powered several models of D8, including the 14A and 46A. The exhaust note from the E was very distinctive, and could be heard for miles away. The F I built roads with mounted a 12-foot by 66-inch-tall Baldersen U-dozer with hydraulic tilt. I could do some beautiful cutting and grading with that machine. Some of the happiest days of my life. Thanks for this video, and the memories!

Last Cat I owned was a D-7 E. Used for almost 10 years and sold for more than paid for it! One tough tractor! My contract required newer equipment so started leasing from Caterpillar, Could lease a new D-6 XL for less than expense of maintenance of old tractors. Then got hurt an lost contract , Could not find competent hands!

CAT D7E 4 CYLINDER HIGH HORSE POWER BIG BORE YOU COULD GET EM WITH DIRECT DRIVE OR TORQUE,PONY MOTOR OR DIRECT START,OR HYDRAULIC OR CABLE CONTROL DEPENDED ON YOUR APPLICATION. 1961-1971 or so THIS MACHINE REPLACED THE (D-7D AKA THE TURBO 17A)

Kyllä on mukava katsoa tätä vanhan liiton meininkiä. Selvästi on tuo homma hallinnassa ja koneen kunnosta näkee, että on oikeissa käsissä. Itsellä on D6B ja D8H, joista toisen olen jo entisöinyt. Mukava niillä on käydä puskemassa. Seiska se vielä puuttuu, mutte ehkäpä sekin joku päivä tulee hommattua. It's really nice to see an old school professionals at work. I have couple of old dozers (D6B amd D8H) my selves. The D7 and expecially D7E is something I like to have some day..

It's a D7-48A series E. Big ol' honkin' turbocharged 4-cylinder. Nice dozer. I have two of the previous series (17-A) and this tractor is a big improvement. Power Shift, heavier undercarriage. I operated one like this once but without good grouser height it wouldn't push much. This one in the video could use some more grouser too. Still seems to push okay though. Nice video.

Keep the vids coming, That is one cool old man and machine :)! I have a 1965 d8h with the same blade tilt configuration :the foot pedal on the far left". nothing pushes like these old caterpillars

For serving the pedal is on the left?

Thanks for your comments. We are from Finland. Cat has renovated four-cylinder turbo diesel :)

Lisää tällaista.

Ukki on rauta, ukki on PARAS!!!!!!!
