This video was really fun to watch, but just a couple of friendly tips. Clean the surfaces before you weld on them. Flap disk the paint and surface rust off, and you'll get cleaner welds. Also, if you bevel off the 90° angle on the new parts, it gets the weld in there deeper, which is stronger welds. I dig the video though. I learned a couple thing's, like the bolt trick to suck the back of the blade down. Good idea.

Just a thought from someone who has many years of experience on dirt machines, not to mention D-4C's. I never see you apply any grease, or never seize on pins and bolts when you are assembling parts. It may be a long time before you get back into those parts, but it would be a whole lot easier if you apply something when reassembling parts. With a port-a-power ram you can push off of the rear track frame support to push the eyebolt for the dozer arm out. Also some heat to the front axle and some penetrating oil would have helped remove the eyebolt. Next item, you should check to see if that machine has an updated cross shaft for the ring gear. Early D4C's had the ring gear riveted to the cross shaft, and the rivets WILL break. The update is a new cross shaft with bolts to mount the gear. If you need to update your machine, you can tear it down to the point of removing the steering clutches. After that, you need to call Cat for them to use special hydraulic pullers to remove the flanges for the steering clutches. You may as well change the brake bands to while you have it apart. Passing on what I have learned.

I once asked a master mechanic/technician from Ford Motor Company who was giving a class at the dealership where I was then an apprentice. His name was Ernie Fry and he was such a great technician/mechanic that Ford made him a powertrain engineer with a focus on drive ability. I asked what makes a great mechanic? He said one word, persistence. That really sums up Andrew's greatness, he never throws in the towel and yes, he never swears, at least on the videos that get released. Later on in my career after becoming a master technician and becoming the lead tech at a very large Volvo dealership, when I was frustrated beyond words, that simple word "Persistence" got me through too many times to count.

Just keep your mind focused on solving the problem. Edit: I recently finished soldering leads on a new starter cable for my truck. In my haste I was not planning the simple job and it was becoming a frustrating operation. The key was to slow down and just take as much time as needed on each detail of the process to do it right. Never be in a hurry. It just frazzles your brain and stresses you out and leads to poor performance and frustration.

I remember when I bought my first car how I swore and thought I had bad luck every time I failed when I tried to fix something on my own. Then I got wiser, bought the right tools and a workshop hand book for every car I bought and things began working more smoothly for me. I studied the hand book carefully before I did any work on whatever I was doing. The work you're doing, however, takes both knowledge, skill, the right technique and brute force.

Hey Andrew. Love your videos. I think I have watched most. I am going to tell you something you may have heard before. I was a welder for about 45 years. The last 20 have been harder than the first 25 because my back took a lot of wear and tear. Now I am retired, but I have now herniated discs and can hardly move. I see the things you are doing and that is what I used to do. You are a credit to the human society. I know you will not stop what you are doing. Make sure you save up for medical expenses, I can guarantee it that when you hit 40, you will need the medical money. Another thing, when you are tapping in a bearing, always press or tap the race that is against the holding surface. For example, when you were putting in the bearings in the hub for the water pump in the tractor, you were pushing on the inner race. What will happen is the ball bearing retainers in the bearing could become bent. You should have a driver that will push on the outer race. Similarly, when you are driving a bearing on a shaft, you would then push on the inner race. I hope that makes sense.
