We try to get a Ex military 850J John Deere dozer running again after it was stripped for parts🤦‍♂️

This is part 1 of a 4 part series. This dozer came into us as an inoperative machine missing many parts and we found many surprises along the way!

Jack up the radiator cap and install a new dozer!

[@michaelmcclenahan2649]

All the good dozers they left in Afghanistan Great videos guys

[@mfreund15448]

Now all of those left behind are looking like this one.

[@davidanderson2393]

About 10+ years ago I went for a job interview at a military base maintenance facility, and the amount of parked equipment waiting for repairs was a real eye opener.

[@chuck2306]

for the Air Force it's call VDP vehicle down for parts some of the vehicles are sent out because of lack of training

[@kylejones2075]

What a mess thanks for sharing 🎉🎉😅

[@steveanderson4768]

Govt is great at fucking shit up at it. I’m warming peace 99% of it has no repercussions if you fuck it up not like the civilian world.

[@av8tore71]

Must be 3rd shop in an Army post

[@robertmccully2792]

Why fix it when taxpayers can buy new ones.

[@jwdickinson643]

Kevin is laughing ‘cause he’s thinkin’ “my Boss is really in deep kimchee with this one!”

[@324atleD]

When you catch it, let us know why they put the right side track on backwards.

[@alanclark639]

One of my old mates put in a lot of work with our 8th Army repairing tanks all the way through 1945 - then to add insult to injury spent most of 1946 throwing them into the Med - along with brand new Hispano-Suza aircraft engines - whole shiploads of the stuff. That's what our civil service does with surplus - it would break their hearts to see you get these scrappers running - and today, any moving object sold for scrap is mercilessly torched before it leaves the depot. It's enough to make strong men weep.

[@zundappchef]

i love these video's they can be 24 hours long and ill still enjoy them . the amount of work you all put into it and the humor is just awesome . This channel and the people on the video are just awesome and a example of how you should run a business , still have fun and be incredibly fair towards customers

[@cullenmiller8170]

Good thing is, that that’s not your first 850 to put that basket case back together. I guess anything that doesn’t look original will need to be checked to see if someone meddled with it. I don’t know what’s worse the mechanics or the operators in the military. Either seem to be able to break an anvil with a rubber hammer. 😂😂

[@mfreund15448]

Bend a crowbar in a sandbox!

[@davidanderson2393]

I have a feeling it's going to be the gift that just keeps on giving, AHHH!!

[@passenger6735]

I personally like the long videos. That's a monster of a project. Someone, somewhere is going to be running an awesome dozer. Good luck.

[@andrewruble7706]

I thought the quote of the video was "This is what happens when you click buy on the internet" LOL I had no doubt you would be able to get it put together. Looking forward to the next chapter. Thanks for sharing.

[@jimhancock5047]

Yup, it's a fixer upper!

[@larrywarner4305]

Still say military needs to make their people watch your videos. Maybe they would learn something and not make mess like that.

[@alansmith9745]

Just love watching the interaction between Mr C&C & Kevin, while being professional, it’s so entertaining. Power to you guys

[@billprell6938]

I can’t think of any guys better to save that tractor and put it all back together. You guys are amazing love your channel. Keep up the great content.

[@Hansenstephenc]

My cousin went to West Point back in the 1960’s and we used track layers for farming in California. He was the only student there that had any track layer experience.

[@drewtin4303]

I thought I missed an upload. Says uploaded 3 days ago

[@benschlack5814]

It may be missing a lot of parts but it still looks in good condition

[@benschlack5814]

Nope everything is paperless now 😂😂

[@patrickcolahan7499]

You all have all the fun. Thanks for sharing.

[@scottgoss9561]

Mason is a genuinely good guy, good mechanic and just a good nature. Clint, you and Mama have a real gem!!

[@stevevogelman3360]

Mason isn’t their son. Just a friend of his son’s Tucker and Hunter.

[@OldVermontGuy]

I am always amazed at how much effort is involved in bringing these beasts back to life. Awesome efforts so far.

[@TomLongusa]

Imagine the poor sob that bought this dozer at an auction thinking he could drop this off at his local dealer & only have to spend a few 31000 to get it going. Clint has all the experience, has or is familiar with getting the parts, & is doing all the labor at his internal cost. If you had to pay full retail for labor and parts it might be cheaper to buy a new dozer.😳

[@MartinP1214]

Good to see your dad there getting things done right!

[@michaelbrausch8874]

Clint you need some counterweights on the front of the wrecker!

[@stevenr8606]

... a LARGE water bumper. 😊

[@keithphaneuf9146]

I have a good feeling that you initially figured the costs to repair complete to sell. So, you will profit nicely!! 🙂

[@barrybickle7992]

😅makes that monster tow truck a little light in the front loafers

[@trickstothetrades1801]

One time when I was working on forklifts we had a customer that had a fleet of all the same Hyster 155’s We ordered a new Perkins 1004 for one and it got stuck in shipping for months. In the meantime I ended up robing the trans, hyd. Tank, differential and a whole lot of other parts (like your dozer) by the time the engine came in I had a list like yours. The good news was once I put it all together they had a new used forklift 😂

[@douglassmith7515]

Good thing you worked on a couple of those.

[@KD0LRG]

Ran when parked, needs tires to pass inspection 😉

[@TruckerChick]

Nothing like turning a parts unit into a reliable, running unit. Thankfully C&C is up to the task. Hopefully it does the new owner good.

[@tomtke7351]

FYI: RE: rounded bolts: /////----- Metrinch tools are generally considered effective for dealing with rounded off bolt heads. They are designed to apply torque to the flats of a fastener instead of the corners, which allows them to grip rounded off fasteners more effectively. This unique design enables Metrinch tools to work on both metric and standard sizes, as well as damaged or rounded bolts. -----/////

[@timothymilam732]

Being a FOMOCO driver I'm qualified to say this. But do the words Fix, or Repair Daily come to mind to anyone else besides myself? Clint, I'm glad to see in the opening minutes of the video that you had Kevin in a safe place to where it was out of the way if anything happened to go wrong. Looks like you might of opened up a can of "Oh Sh!t", possibly with this one. Except I've got a strong feeling that it's gonna workout to your advantage before the books are closed on it.

[@joejohnson7097]

Thanks for the video. It's amazing when you have extra units that are down get used for spare parts

[@billvandorn5332]

Love your optimism and unrelenting desires to bring life back to these marvelous machines

[@garybrady9531]

When the video is interesting like this one nobody minds the length of it keep pumping them out

[@DoubleA3]

She's a beaut, Clark!

[@paullangjahr4071]

After a closer inspection, it would seem that the right front is a little low on air and that should fix it good as new 😮😂

[@kymw7833]

Hey Clinton it's terrible how hopeless the Military are at equipment maintenance ,it's apparent they carry no spare parts into war zones,still it's a win for you and your viewers ,I really enjoy getting these machines back into working life with you and Kevin and the boys Great content mate . Cheers Kym Adelaide

[@tomrogers9467]

Look at the billions of dollars of military equipment they abandoned when they fled Afghanistan with their tail between their legs!

[@tubaguy1267]

Not my dozer not my dozer :)

[@dougwilson7530]

You do know that you can use a torx head bit on alan head bolts. You can usually tap them in far enough to get them to start.

[@prestonvaughn2078]

You guys are something special! This one looks like it will be EPIC. You have hooked me, anxiously awaiting the next installment. 879 hours (if the meter works). Keep this great entertainment coming, was smiling thru the entire video!

[@genelegear5418]

I like it all, I'm a fix-it guy, retired, 83 years old so I love it........

[@peteradely885]

Taking a big chance with all new parts and possibly major broken parts. Love your confidence. Very interesting.!!

[@mrolfe8341]

Hope you got it cheap!

[@ernestrhoades5147]

I was a heavy equipment mechanic for USMC they robbed and stole parts from outher equipment to get it off the dead line and we borrowed parts from outher units at night ,dont tell any one !

[@carloskawasaki656]

Awesome, another week end who start with your team and your project, always a pleasure 👍👍👍👍

[@jimshoe6828]

Well Kevin, I'm impressed, I didn't think it was possible to do a wheelie with that monster wrecker, but you managed to pull one through the entire building 😳😱😂 Clint, gotta say, you are a far more ambitious guy than I am!! If it was me, I think this one would have been the next parts dozer🤔 Good luck!!

[@gordonagent7037]

To troubleshoot the source of a problem is one thing, to sort through a myriad of other peoples problems is on a whole different set of skills, anything you looked at you’d have to ask your self questions about do I need to check that and let it go only to be bitten in the behind down the track, this is a classic from You guys

[@Freedbird]

I'm always amazed how interesting it is to watch you guys work on these dozers. I hope whoever buys the wrecker sends you some epic videos of it in action.

[@motomatt6752]

Years ago I thought I was a genius finding this roller that looked like a great deal. I bought it couldn’t wait to get back to the shop and get started getting it back to working condition. Well under further review I must have had blinders on it was missing parts and must have been worked on by a 6 year old. After many wasted hours and to many bloody knuckles I completely lost my mind dragged it out on the shop and started smashing it with an excavator and eventually hauled it in for scrap lol

[@user-vf6hr4lw6m]

Clinton your knowledge is priceless !! As I've said before ? It's not just what you know ? But with what you bring to the table? You lift everyone around you !! Very Impressive !

[@UncleManuel]

Working on a parts donor always is fun, especially one from the military. It always is a big can of surprising worms... 😜

[@thomashill7345]

Boy I luv when a plan comes together. Keep up the good work

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Just like throwing dice in Vegas. Fingers crossed she runs. Great Video. The humor is top notch.

[@snowfire45]

Really enjoyed this video you guys are very interesting to watch !!😊😊😊

[@andyintex]

Hey Clinton, just fyi I had to go to your channel to find today's video, still shows it was posted Tuesday.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Yea I messed it all up

[@andyintex]

👍 All good, loved the video!

[@user-vf6hr4lw6m]

One more comment : I Can't believe that cab jack safety support is $900 !!?? Unbelievable !!! They get you ! Don't they.? That was just one of my smack my forehead moments ! Then fades into a scratch my head : )

[@Matt-mq1ep]

Haha you may need to build a front weight bracket for that beast of a wrecker. Nice work guys!

[@danielgriffith7694]

As a suggestion, we use an air engraving tool to remove broken bolts 👍

[@gregwhite7957]

You guys got this no matter how many default stickers you come across. No job to big for the C&C crew. Is there a possibility that they robbed the good final drive and drive shaft off of this machine and stuffed all the broken parts back in this one off the other? I worked at Fort Wainwright Alaska for 8 years for a contractor doing aviation stuff. They also have infantry with tons of ground vehicles. Borrow parts to keep things going. Replace later. Thanks for another great video guys. Looking forward to the next on this dozer. Take care and stay safe.

[@Michael_CS615]

More fault finding 101! Great stuff. Mason learning from real professionals.

[@vincenthalas7055]

Very impressive depth of knowledge guys.

[@tombishop5835]

So why buy all those new parts when you can do just like the Army, just borrow from another machine ! I do so enjoy your channel!

[@user-fz6vs4de9m]

The military is GREAT for using one piece of equipment to keep others running. A LONG TIME in Vietnam we were on the DMZ and never got parts Old rolling stock became a parts bin. Sad it still goes on today. We need to fund our heros better.

[@davidfarley1175]

Clint, for safety you should put a tack weld on those bars that support the cab to be safe, Clint I don't miss your videos, So good luck with the doze. I can't stand to see a grown man cry

[@waynerovedo3207]

That truck is amazing.

[@wink9970]

I like the new stars and stripes hat.

[@mikesorg6746]

I feel like we saw this video before and I thought you mentioned a fire truck video this morning?

[@armyranger9346]

The next time you have an allen screw hole strip out, try pressing or hammering a torx bit in the hole. An easy-out may get it but they go in so shallow that the end of them usually breaks off.

[@petermccuskey1832]

You guys know your John Deere products. Excellent watching your presentations. Stay Safe!!!

[@timhamrick9498]

I'm going to guess 850 hrs

[@billvandorn5332]

Thanks for some great videos and optimism bringing these old babies back to life! To be politically correct I am always amazed and dumbfounded at how folks could ignore and put the parts on wrong adding to the demise to the such a wonderful machine

[@MatthewJRedmond]

Quite the puzzle you got yourselves into. I hope you bought a lottery ticket that day you got that broken bolt backed out with the punch. Look forward to the next video on the old girl. Keep up the great job ol boys 😁👍

[@tomparker7140]

A real jewel you got there Clint. Hoping you can make a profit after it's all said and done. Have fun guys. Iam guessing at 910 hours on this dozer.

[@CaptainRon13]

Late to the video, but, EXCELLENT,EXCELLENT,EXCELLENT. I can’t get enough! A thousand thank you’s.

[@rhondasweeney7271]

What a mess! But with you and your team everything will be fine. Thanks for sharing!

[@seanmccarthy1421]

Look like a lot of fun. 1250 hours

[@davidillich7014]

ENJOYED watching . i used to help the city mech work on the van pelts fire engines in 80's i was a vol fighter fighter

[@terryrogers1025]

“NOT MY DOZER” 🙄😏😉, good night, the cost of parts it would probably cost 50X’s the original cost of the dozer to build it ground up buying it by parts. I found over the years in service work that the toughest part of it was to figure out what the guy(s) did that were there ahead of you working on the equipment before I got there, some times it was like “ bring your brain to work with you day” was optional, and they didn’t exercise the option, fun video, at least for me. Thanks for the tag along vid, looking forward to part 2.

[@alabamamanus1]

I realize he probably won't because it'd mess up the sell, but it'd be nice if he posted how much he paid and how much in labor and parts for his projects. Either way, I'm addicted to this page.

[@corycourneyea6802]

With his knowledge, he isn't cheap. Then you have Kevin to balance that out 😅😂

[@calebjones983]

Great video your companion for equipment and bringing it back to life is top notch

[@logancarter2134]

I beg to differ about jet fuel availability. We country folks call it kerosene. I just happen to make it where I work.

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

When I first saw your old parts dozer I was wondering if the weed was weed until you got a closer picture.

[@davidvarga8990]

Something to try on those small broken bolts is an engraver. Ive had alot of success. Great video guys!

[@kenguier8464]

Cannibalization always has been a problem in the military. When I was in Vietnam one of our Huey's went down for maintenance and a special part had to be ordered from the states. The longer it sat on maintenance row the more parts were cannibalized, until the aircraft could no longer be returned to a flight worthy status, so it was scrapped.

[@tomrogers9467]

Your tax dollars at work.

[@chosen1one930]

You can buy jet feul, it's legal and taxes are already added in. I'm unsure how you buy large amounts though, I just know about small amounts, people use them for model airplanes the ones that use small jet engines and rockets.

[@robertryan4485]

I like The greenery I guess I have to pay more attention to your channel

[@garymessina1609]

When you buy parts are parts you really need to buy parts great video thanks Clint and Kevin and Mason and Hunter

[@jamesdearman814]

always just lovely fixing other people's uh-oh's

[@oddtechman]

Slight case of a can of worms there eh Clint!!!! sure got your hands full with this one.. Gonna have to make a clip on weight pack for your Het-Wreck to keep those steers on the ground!! that 850 was a heavy gal!

[@user-bw8jg5nl8j]

My dad always said, “Don’t force it, get a Bigger Hammer!”🤷‍♂️🤪🤪

[@traceylukins480]

Knowing the government they parked it because it was out of fuel

[@sudd2685]

Can’t wait till episode 3, thank you for your videos.

[@kevinmurray7135]

Yup Clint the only thing this dozer has going for it is the you bought it and if you decide to fix it we all out here in U-Tube land that it will be worth buying cause you rebuilt it and the quality of you and your men it will be a good machine 😎🇺🇸 NY

[@johnwilkinson6067]

its amazing what you get into when someone has had it apart you dont know how far to go and where to stop.john deere makes good equipment but they dont mind charging a arm and a leg for parts but about every brand of equipment is the same way anymore

[@galegregory97comcast]

❤❤❤ a real working crew 😊😊😊

[@KevinCoop1]

That $900 cab cylinder bracket would cost the military $9000 if they bought it, plus all the military salaries for the 100 people it would take to order and actually get it.

[@dennisroberts6698]

Another Military Parts Bin Machine, Have fun LOL

[@Old-bold-pilot]

It’s a good thing it was in all wheel drive! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@R0GUEC0BRA]

Ever thought of getting RBRT from Mac there great for that sort of thing with stripped srews

[@jonnooney7102]

A bunch of knuckle dragging lance corporals in the Marine Corps (and I was one once upon a time). There is no limit to what they could screw up if left unsupervised. You couldn't find anyone on active duty that could do what you do.
