Playing with dozers is addictive. Bring the batteries inside for winter. It is worth the money to put a big tarp over the dozer when not in use to prevent corrosion. I use a tent garage over mine. I replace the tarp every 2 years($40). You will need to support the tarp so that rain/snow slides off. Park it near your house so that you can keep an eye on it. I have and old Sears kerosene heater for putting under engines to warm them up. Get a fuel funnel for filling fuel tanks. A good fuel funnel will have a screen that keeps water out and the funnel will prevent spills. Good Luck, Rick

I understand fuel is expensive but when I put my equipment away for the winter I fill the fuel tank to the brim. That reduces condensation in the tank. I also put fuel stabilizer in the gas tank and then run the engine to get the stabilized fuel through the fuel system. Finally I change the oil and run the engine for a few minutes to get clean oil throughout the engine.

Hey Riley, have you checked the brake adjustment on your left and right sides? I can walk you through it if you want, there is brake adjusters underneath the fuel tank at the back of the machine above the winch behind that cover. the left brake always gets overused on the left side because their right foot is on the decelerator, operators seem to like to only use their left foot to brake the machine thus wearing out those shoes first. First chock the machine in a nice flat position, with something substantial against the tracks so it can't roll anywhere and disengage the parking brake. Machine engine off. To check adjustment pull that panel off and ontop of the left and right brake assemblies is a small cover with 3x 3/8' bolts in each. When you remove that cover there will be the brake adjustment head exposed which also uses a 9/16" wrench or ratchet to actuate. take your ratchet and every time you tighten(clockwise) you should feel a click if the detent isn't too warn out. anyways Run that all the way down until it bottoms out then back it out and count the clicks until it stops rotating counter clockwise. This is going to give you the rough idea of how warn your brakes are. Mark both sides down for how many clicks and then return allll the way to the bottom again (clockwise) and then back out 10-12 clicks each side. Once you've done that before you put the covers back on, hop up and feel how the brakes are actuating. if one pedal is closer to you than the other you can adjust accordingly (Counterclockwise pushes the pedal AWAY from you. If your brakes have excessive clicks with the adjuster (140+ depending on linkage wear) you may need to tighten up a bit more than the 10-12 clicks but if you go all the way tight and you still have no brakes on your left track then your brake shoe and drum is past wear and you'll have to replace both. install covers with anaerobic Loctite 515 Sealant or RTV and anti-seize the 3/8's bolts and tighten to 30 ft-lbs

Hey Riley, with a pony motor it is relatively easy to get everything warmed up enough to start. I had a Cat 12 motor grader that I used to plow roads with. Almost every time when I needed it I had to go through all of the things like you did. Not much fun and quite often a pain in the booty. With my grader I would take a large bag of charcoal like you would use in a barbecue and put it into a cut off oil drum right under the engine. I would light it up and then go back inside my house and make breakfast and maybe do a little reading. After about an hour or sometimes longer when it was really cold, I would go out and hop in the seat and push the button and it starts right up. Super simple. It does require that you keep your equipment fairly clean because there are not too many experiences more exciting than watching all of the brush burning in the belly pan. That happened to me once but I had a large enough fire extinguisher on the dozer to put it out. Your method looks a lot easier than what I had to do though. Your Pal Al

So happy that you got the dozer working, I was in the Army, the unit that I was with was an engineer unit, I was hauling a 5,000-gallon diesel tanker, I just got to the training area, the motor Sargent said, That I needed to drop the tanker and go pick up a D-9 Catapiller, that truck broke down hauling it, so I drove another hour to the Catapillar, my first thought was my 5 ton truck that I was to small to haul it. They assure me that it was big enough, because the truck that was broke down was a 10 ton truck, so I drove it back and made it to the off ramp and ran out of diesel, so they were trying to figure out how to get fuel for the truck, they didn't have any fuel cans, the escort truck had a diesel heater in it, they thought that they had no way to transfer the fuel over to my truck, then my Mc Guiver kicked in I had a steel helmet, which we used to transfer the diesel from the other to my truck it saved the day, they were very happy that we got to the truck started and got the D-9 brought to the training area.

If you think the brake is worn out you can go to the rear of the rear dozer and tighten the band brake by turning a square stub within a humped cover under the fuel tank. There is one per side. Also if the brake lining is worn or falling off the torque converter suction screen will likely be full of black chunks of brake lining. If you wear the brake out for long the rivets will score up the drum.

The operator stayed warm and toasty. I was in our shop the other day and noticed I still have a fan reversing tool but we no longer have a D8H’s. We were running 4-5 at one time..

Nice dozer, but please cover it up with a tarp. And yes, take your battery out in winter. And disconnect it if you are not using it, even in summer - because if a mouse or raccoon starts nibbling on your wires with the battery hooked up, your machine may well catch fire. I have seen lots of machines burn up in the bush or on fields. I always disconnect the negative on the battery. It is good insurance. Up here in Canada, we call the "pony motor" "putt motor", and it is definitely the best to let it run a while on a cold day to warm up the coolant which the putt motor shares with the diesel motor. Given the sharp drop offs on your road and the hilly terrain, you might consider welding some grousers onto the track to prevent your cat taking off sideways like a sled if you hit an icy patch. A sideways slide on a narrow road could well be fatal for you or destroy your cat.

If the charger won't start charging a battery because it's too low, sometimes you can hook a good battery up to it in parallel, turn on the charger, then disconnect the good baterry. It just expects a minimum voltage to start charging. That's my experience with the Battery Tender brand anyway. Just be careful of surge currents and sparks, and don't leave the parallel connection on for too long.

Low charge battery is more water than acid and freezes easier. High charge battery is opposite and freezes at lower temp

A full 20min advert for a Jackery power pack. My issue is they loose credibility because they use so many different makes that they can’t all be the best. Just pick one make and use their different models you’d have far more credibility if you suck with one company to partner with and advertise their products. Since you advertise so many different makes I just don’t believe you when you advertise anything; I fully understand why you need to advertise but select something you genuinely like and you’d buy / use and stick with them.

Put a solar charger on the dozer, with a light bulb and temperature sensor, so the solar will also warn the battery box. Insulating the box would also help.

You need a camera up at the front of the dozer, maybe get a backup camera kit and have the camera on one of the front top bars to see right in front of the dozer.

I wonder if one of them big ' Convex Mirrors mounted up front would help to see what's going on .Fuel stabilizes in both tanks would definitely help to keep the fuel from going flat especially when it sits for a long time ! Happy Trails from 🇨🇦 to the 🇺🇸

If you use an old school charger that battery will probably take a charge and still be usable

We are new to off grid lifestyle, and this channel helps us out so much. We pulled the plug in July of 2022 and we are not looking back! As a small channel we don't have access to the many off grid gadgets that are out there and they are very expensive! So it's great to have a bigger channel like this reviewing products honestly so that we don't waist our time or money on inferior products or gimmicks! Thanks again @Ambition Strikes !❤🎉

They don't review anything, they get paid to say what they're told, look at other channels that have said the exact same lines about this same stuff. They've sold their souls to these companies.
