I worked for Caterpillar for 14 years,at the Glasgow Plant in Scotland.. and the D8K was one of the models we built before they closed the plant in 1987..brings back memories for me seeing those 6 digit part numbers and other familiar parts..these machines were selling for around £30000 back in the 80's.

I agree ,maintenance is everything, even in your TV . I learned from a repair person I met that dust accumulates inside them via the vent holes. Blow the dust out a couple of times a year so the dust does not create a bridge across the exposed circuits Also spiders can do the same thing especially in AC units..

Hi there, from the East coast of Australia. You know what, your absolutely spot on when you said people don't care about things anymore, but are very quick to winge when things go wrong. People don't seem to want to maintain and service things along with not taking pride in their work. Just like your very awesome Crawler, with the filter screen in ass up. It's very lucky the world has people like you to get things back on track the right way so Thankyou very much for being you sir i know i really appreciate you and your time teaching us a few things. You take care.

20:10: "Maintenance, maintenance!" I completely agree. We are used to simply buying a new piece because very few people know how to do proper maintenance. I think one of the main things companies could do is to have their people trained in maintaining their own means of productions. In the case of machinery, a well-kept machine Will serve you even doublé of what you expected and this could save you a pile of money!

I don’t usually comment on anything or give advice, I do have a suggestion that helped me over the years. Your battery doors are a pain with no catches to hold them. Get two earth magnets and a a piece of flat steel, bend the one end of the flat steel at 90 degrees. Slap the mag on the stationary panel, put the 90 bend on the mag, open the door and slap the other mag on to act as a keeper on ahead of the door. Worked pretty well for me. You will find it useful in other situations also. Good vids, good at what you do, keeper comin my friend.

I worked on D8’s in 80’s and 90 ‘ . They are tough ! I’ve rebuilt the entire engines , torque converters, steering clutches, final drives , sprockets and rollers . Packed a many a grease seal for track adjustment . Also rodded out radiators still in the machine . Changed out many broke spring in injection pump , the one that won’t let it crank if its broke . It’s a bad spring to change .

*@**11:44* "Anti Seize" is meant to reduce galling and premature tightening of fasteners. The different base metals have different applications; Molybdenum Disulfide (silver colored) is for general use. Copper is for hot parts (exhaust). If you want stuff to come apart for routine maintenance- thoroughly clean all components, then light grease threads, fasten, then coat with an epoxy paint or plasti-dip or similar, to lock out corrosion. Coatings are easily removed, fasteners easily removed. Many companies make 2-part epoxy coatings, concrete/garage floor stuff is great for nuts & bolts, seams, and case seams. Clear, colored. 1 light swipe. RTV/Silicone is great, too.

Started operating a paddlewheel scraper for my Dad, first day I was loading out of a slot trench dug by a Dozer, about 8 ft deep when I started. Dad would ask me every few loads, Do you need me to walk the Dozer down the road and square up that pit? All day long I kept bringing loads regular, saying nope, doing fine Dad😊 that night he saw the hole, noticed I had learned how to weave to get the bowl to cut close to the bank so the banks were almost vertical. He gave me a $2 per hour raise that night👍

Hi I have been watching your video's about maintainence & repairs maintainence of machinery & I agree that many firms & companies don't do very much on their machines , they just keep running them until they stop & just do't want the machine standing idol while its being maintained but then they do moan & blame the machine when they have to spend a lot of money on repairs once they stop & don't realise its their fault that so much needs doing & parts need replacing & its all their fault for never doing oil changes & cleaning the main cleanable filters & replacing the changeable ones regularly cause extra wear on parts etc. I recently bought a Cat D8 Dozer that I bought over the internet from a company in America & imported it to me in the UK & although basically the machine in general was okay. Most of the problems I have had with it were all because every one of the filters were clogged & I would not have thought any oil was being filtered & even the main supply pipe & hose was clogged up so much that the big Hyster winch on the rear of the machine would not work because the supply of oil to it was vertually blocked solid, So I removed the main pump & it also was clogged with crap but luckily nothing broken or worn to bad. So after stripping & cleaning everything & replacing all the filters plus a couple of the main supply hose's because they also were in very good condition. Then in comparison the old D8 operated like a new one. Then I had a problem with the drive power which was also caused by the same lack of maintainence & after checking through I found the transmission was also in need of cleaning & replacing which I have now done & the nest thing I have to do is to strip down the final drives both sides because they have an oil leak from the main seals. Once I have finished all these jobs then I will service the rest of it using top quality oils etc to really give the old girl a new lease of life & several people have said to me why are you bothering to do all this work on such an old machine & my answer to them is in several ways,= one being I am not a plant machine mechanic I am a lorry/truck mechanic & I like the older machine that are not all computerised but straight forward mechanical machines & the basic's of mechanics is the same no matter what its on & I prefer the older ones where you can apply basic mechanical principles to be able to work things out & do the jobs that often were caused by paw of complete lack of maintainence in the first place, so its now onwards to do the rest of the work but as it's outside & winter is coming in fast probably a lot of things will have to be left until early spring next year because of the weather & when its all done it will then have re-paint. Then it will be time to start on my D6 which I also imported so although it starts & runs okay I am expecting to find the same problems on this machine although I hope not. Cheers , keep up the good work, take care Brian. .

The 8k felt more blade heavy but once you got used to it was a big improvement over the 46a or b.The hand controls for the operator were much improved. The 46a had a long handle for the blade hand which would also tilt. The pins on the long control arm wore enough that some of them felt sloppy it also had parallelogram ripper only, the 8k had one hand hydraulic pitch control on a much more ergonomic it was a on a specially designed handle controlled by a button which controlled all the implements if you had a ripper and dozer combination. You could pull rocks up or snap the tops off them much better and faster. The 8k was heavier to and worked well for pioneering steep slope roads. You could still haul it on a single truck at that time in California which was important for the owner operator.

I guess prior to the initial start-up. A pressure gauge on the top of the Filter housing will give you some Idea the new repaired pump was giving off with P1 pressure..

Saw that it's for sale. dang shame I'm in Texas or we'd be doing a deal. Sold an old 1963 D-6C a few years back as it needed a new UC and some other work. Thought I was done needing it. Wasn't. Got a JD 450G but that D-6C puts it to shame :( Sold the D-6 at RB auction in Houston TX and winning bidder was in Canada! Man wanted that old dozer.

That’s the 20th venture. Maintenance is a four letter word. Bean counters run companies and they shave down every cost they can. Maintenance of equipment is the first thing they get rid of. On my chainsaws, I spend about an hour cleaning, maintaining and sharpening forbeach actual hour of cutting. On bigger equipment I probably spent more time than that. People, today, already lazy and have more money than brains. My grandfather farmed 2,500 acreas and he worked 8 days a week. Today, the drive around in $60,000 4x4 all day and never even get their hands dirty. My grandfather rode around on the back of a horse, but he could show you every grease fitting on any of his tractors. As a boy, I spent the first hour of the working day greasing my tractors Zerk fittings. If I missed a one, he would find it. And there are lots of grease fitting on a Ford tractor built in the 1950’s. People of his era also did not lug engines, as they do, today. If he had caught me pulling an implement in one of the high gears, my but would have rung. If I had the pto on I better have the rpm in the correct range. Captain Jack ran a tight ship.

I read the same thing about boy dogs and girl dogs talking about mid sized poodles. Mine was a boy and acting as if he was poisoned. Twitchy, walking drunk and no real motor control, pupils as big as saucers not responding to flashlight and scared right out of his mind. Called the vet after hours and thank God he took the call. Told me to use a turkey baster loaded with 3 ounces of hyrodgen peroxide and be sure to force it down his throat past his lungs and fight him if I had to in order to get it into his stomach and holding his throat shut around the baster stem inside his throat. Then wait for the upchuck to see what it was actually he might have gotten into, and call back if there were further concerns with obvious rat bait or similar. Within minutes up came a tomato slice with black bits all about. Puzzled over that since we had no garden and no tomatoes that year. Then I remembered for the past six weeks seeing a single slice of a store bought tomato in the gallon garbage can all covered with black hairy fungus, checked and it was gone. Mom had finally thrown it out for the chickens and they wanted nothing to do with it. He had forced himself to eat it no matter what it tasted like because he couldn't let the other dog have a chance at it. Ef'n stupid, but that was him all day long. He started recovering straight off and in a few hours was just a little tired but his normal self. Me too for that matter.

Yikes, When I read your story I thought wow, that can't be good. But I only worked with 50% hydrogen peroxide, and that stuff turns skin to jelly and melts your clothes. Apparently your household 3% stuff is applicable to inducing vomiting. Glad your pooch pulled through and I sure learned something.

That D7 would make a great project, sad to see it sit. My friend who rescued the Peterbilt 359 last year also rescued an Allis Chalmers 655 track loader that was parked in the woods for 10 years....previous owner had the engine rebuilt and they punctured the torque converter seal putting the engine back in, so it would just leak ATF out as soon as you could pour it in. So rather than pull the engine out again, he just parked it.

I know from experience the silver PERMATEX antiseeze works the best. I used that on the spline of outboard propellers in salt water and they would slip off like the day I put them on! You must clean the hardware up first and remove the rust and dirt first for best results. but you will be able to take exhaust manifolds off after 20 years of neglect

I have to agree, most of the people who have these for a business seem reluctant to keep them as per the owners manual and they end up rotting away for want of the right attention, However, if you ask them to do something they charge like theres no tomorrow, and sod paying out for maintenance. I have seen these machines where the tracks are full of dirt and mud between the top and bottom of the track, they finish work and walk away only to return next day, start it up and carry on with what they were doing untill it breaks down with bearings or shaft ware with the grit grinding away at these parts, when a going over with a preasure washer to clear the dirt out would increase the working life of the unit, then they complain because its broken down.I hire a guy with a heavy duty fork lift to move some newly sawn wood from one place to another., we agreed on the price for the days work before we got started, when it came to the day, we spent more time reparing the thing than we did using it, but he still wanted his cash at the end of the day even though we had not moved at least a third of the timber, instead spent all this down time on cleaning out fuel lines and filters that were in a discusting state, he even complained that he had been forced to pay for new filters and some pipes, all because he did not bother to look after the unit, and since then i have seen so many people with the same atitude towards looking after what is big money to buy in the first place, you only have to look round any farm yard to see thousands of dollars worth of gear that would more than likely still be working if taken care of. Then some clown come along and buys them and rebuilds them back to good working condition, that why the likes of you and I are not rolling in money, it goes against the grain to see these machines rotting away.
