Big bad Cat D7F dozer with some major problems, can we overcome them? Part 1

[@opendstudio7141]

Good job Mason. I like how respectful you are to your elders, even though the pick at you with shop talk. They are toughening you up so that you can approach any situation with a cool head.

It's hard to find good young help this days, even interested in being mechanic, be patient with your young help especially with Mason..

You guys are a lots fun I prefer watching you videos than watch any movie and I can watch your videos all day and never get tired. Maison your tractor is like my it dose get stuck too if the ground is to soft.

[@briangorter7150]

Hi Clint. I really like how you feature the young guys in your videos and how you let them take on responsibilities. Could you feature more of this as I like how you teach the young guys and the learning process. I also think a few videos on Mr. Kevin working with them on spray painting would be good too. Giving the next generation a good go makes for spreading out your skills and the success in those skills. You and Mr. Kevin are great experts at what you do, thank you for great content.

[@437thx1138]

You should think about teaching if you have a trade school or community college near you if you ever retire. It's what your videos are, teaching. Well done sir

[@paullangjahr4071]

[@godsdozer]

had my a shop I used here in Texas put in a new radiator core on my D6D many moons ago, they called and said they had bad news but would make it right. They poked a hole in my new core. hahaha I told them they could have it repaired and if it ever leaked it was on their dime. It was good for the next 12 years.

[@timearp8185]

Great protecting the eyes but young ears will be impacted by the noise.. it's worth it when you're older- stick some thing in em!

[@TerryFaulkner-d2k]

Clint, what i see is you telling all your young employees what you want . Give some tips ? Then let them learn the hard way sometimes? But that's training them to be Self Thinkers ! When most people would micromanage them to death !! Not to say you won't step in when need be. Anyone with any sense, can see that's a lot of extra work and oversight by you !! Then you give credit to those young men when it's due !! WELL DONE CLINTON !! Can't say that enough !!

[@Eric-fv4jx]

I really like the empire you have built. It is the epitomy of a workplace many of us hoped for but never found. I got to despise some places I worked because they thought every shortcut they could take meant a better bottom line for themselves...including how they took care of the people that helped build their business.

[@jamescole1786]

10/14/23..Cat D7 F fix up..what a big dog this is! Always learning while coffee sipping & watching team C&C utilize yur fantastic shop to disassemble & methodically examine all key components that your experience leads we viewers to see (great camera/lighting) & hear your comments (often humorous) which explain how each component relates to proper function/factory specs & overall user satisfaction. You casually mention 'getting' new parts & rarely mention the ($ astronomical) costs required for repair not counting shop time or labor..which is understandably appropriate. Yup, much appreciate your time taken to position cameras/lights & minimize all the 'air hammer & steel-on-steel 🔔 ring' going on with other repairs. Most all of your videos have this 'other shop noise' eliminated...Great attention to production details! Also glad to see you psi wash these machines before in-shop work begins. We can actually see just how compact (almost impossible) it is to get any kind of wrench 🛠 into that 'Octapus Convention'🐙🕸🌪🔀 'bird nest' of hydraulic hoses....but you & your team get-it-done! Stay safe & carry on!...looking forward to part 2 of this retrofit, 🎨 paint (yellow?) & test drive around your building!👍😊
