Auction purchase of a Deere 755K track crawler loader comes with its fair share of problems.. Part 1

Part one of a two parts series. We get a Deere 755K track loader in the shop for the first time that I bought at auction and had a couple surprises along the way!

Hey There C&C Guys, I Hope This Finds You All Well? 🙏 Clinton my friend, I must take exception with your comments about Deere not making some of their Dozers and Loaders. John Deere has ALWAYS made their 450-850 Dozers and Loaders, in Dubuque Iowa! In 2000, Deere wanted to get into the larger Dozer market, but wasn't ready to manufacture the 2 new large frame Dozers, so they signed an exclusive agreement with Liebherr to build the new 950+1050 Dozers. These were the first, and only 2 Dozers that weren't built by Deere in Dubuque. As Deere began to chip away at this larger market, they made the decision to design, and manufacture, these two large frame Dozers in house. The all new John Deere designed and manufactured 1050K was introduced in 2014, and the all new John Deere designed and manufactured 950K, followed 3 years later in 2017. This Spring (2024) John Deere introduced the next generation 950-1050 P-Tier Dozers, all new from the tracks up! Designed, and Manufactured, in Dubuque Iowa! "Nothing Runs Like A Deere" 🦌 👍 🇺🇲

I’ll tell you Clint, you and Kevin put out The Best Videos. I know you can’t video every thing y’all do but you do show One shot of the best content. I love watching you guys work. I really wanted to try to meet you guys but looks like my health at this time is not letting me travel. Maybe soon set up a time to meet your work family…

[@greatergood3706]

Kevin always cracks me up! 😆

[@waynekeeler1442]

Sure I would come down and work for a day or hangout for a day.

[@HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP]

Ultimate trick- Drill out an end on those dummy cylinders, put on an old blown fitting with dummy hose, pick a fellow Heavy equipment operator- switch it when he's not looking, and film it!

[@jimmytew9468]

Looks like the profit margin is pretty slim there Bud! There's always that one BIG reason equipment go to the auction sales. This may have been that reason. Great Video Bud and looking forward to part 2.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Very true

[@chuckgulledge2304]

All around best channel on KZbin. Good variety of content in addition to knowledge of equipment that is superior to all the rest

[@kevinrice2721]

And this is why we don't overpay at auctions children, "bargains" end up being break evens if God helps out. Good luck Clint. ;)

[@thomasives3223]

I always look forward to your videos love watching you and Kevin getting them fixed up

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Glad to hear it

[@paulneuman2303]

Awesome video. Sorry to see the $$$$$ track pivot situation. Some Maintenance people don't get it.

[@rugerfarming5387]

Looks like it will be a nice track loader. You know i love the track loaders.Never ran a 755k before. Nice job fellas.

[@scotabot7826]

Can't wait to see that baby after Mr Kevin puts his magic touch on that bad boy!! Nice!

[@dansullivan2954]

I'll be hangin for part 2.

[@mbeck9680]

Love watching you guys work on the equipment!

[@genesimons8368]

Somehow I missed this two part adventure. I apologize for laughing so heartily when the carnage was revealed. My bad.. 😳😢😅 (takes talent to make misfortune funny) Well done 👍

[@Matthew997P]

Can't get enough of you working on Dozers, but I hate to see your profit margin shrinking. All of us who have owned one feel your pain. Excellent content as always.

[@RandyHunt19]

I think that loader needs some special attention by the looks of the bushings! Looking like a big job coming up maybe a little over sizing going to be going on! Great Video boys! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@jimhancock5047]

Uugh... undercarriage carnage is no Bueno whether it is Monday or not. $$$

[@johnmartin8218]

😅

[@MySynthDungeon]

Ya!!! Beers in The fridge!! Lets get at it!! Lov it!! u guys Rock! Cheers!;-)!!

[@jeffgash6948]

You have a great channel and do the best work ! Thanks for sharing the knowledge and expertise!

[@russelllmetcalf]

Very informative how you attack the issues. Would love to spend a few days working with y’all. Your passion to do good work is obvious. Teaching your kids to be honest and hard working is the most important lesson. A+ to you and Kevin. Keep up the good work.

[@dannylyons5899]

I truly enjoy these kinds of videos that you and Kevin working on very out of normal things. You are very knowledgeable on lots of equipment.

[@HillbillyNitroRC-qs9dy]

Awesome. It’s unfortunate and I’m sorry to say, when you discover bad problems I get more popcorn. 🍿

[@golfbravowhiskey8669]

Oh man. Even tho you have a shop that’s a expensive repair. Another great vid, prolly be a part 2,3 and 4 in the track loader series 😎

[@russellgilson4072]

Clint, great to see Mason obtaining the practical experience that your shop has to offer. A family that is able to work together is great for succession planning! Kevin brings a lot to all your video's as well, bubby!

[@everestyeti]

Do you think Kevin contacted you just to ruin your trip? 😂🤣 What a mess complete mess, but am sure the dynamic duo will be able to resolve the issue. Like the new track puller 5000. 👍🤗

[@mariealarcon6902]

Amazing simple technology always works excellent good work Clint you the man enjoy watch skills

[@rockman531]

Another awesome video! Never get tired of watching you guys! Stay safe! Jim

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Win some loose some that's what happens but I'm sure you will get it done. Your not pass the buck to unsuspecting customer great job sofar sir

[@andrewruble7706]

Another great project. Know it stinks that you have more to do then you anticipated but as I said before we know it won't leave the shop until its right. Your reputation continues to grow every time you go the extra mile for your customer's. Well done looking forward to part 2.

[@lordIanHouston]

Mr Kevin !!!! I know Mr Clint keeps you busy on projects, but please give the drag line "Old Girl" A lick of paint before the next winter set's in. Tah 🙂Ian in the UK.

[@Richard-C]

yes i would enjoy watching you and your son working on his truck, Kevin still cracks me up, great video thanks for sharing 👏👏👏👍👍👍

[@regsparkes6507]

Aww that's a tough thing to see Clint.! Just shows how diligent one has to be when buying at Auctions, sometimes it is jus a crap shoot. I'm sure you'll overcome this in good style, and have the track frame repaired and back in operation soon. How would a so called 'operator' NOT notice that something was wrong here, better yet, learn just what a grease gun is for.

[@adamsherm29]

I like how well you two razz each other. It makes it such a great environment when you work with someone who is just as much of a smart-ass as you are!!! Gonna need to visit one day. Maybe leave with a few stickers for good measure!!! Love the Operator my Ass stickers

[@sudd2685]

Looks like former owners preventive maintenance program didn’t work very well, with the high cost of equipment looks like folks would take better care of their stuff, thank you for your videos,

[@rickhaver5876]

I ‘ m sorry for your luck with this one, but you know there at these auctions for a reason!

[@Ghostface0911]

Awesome...Cant wait for the next one. Nice to see Mason getting involved.

[@shanemcdonald6700]

Love your videos.Can’t wait to see what you do to fix that track frame

[@Tom_Monahan]

Can we get part 2 now? 😂 The suspense stinks!

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Sorry

[@davidcokley1929]

Hey Clinton, that old track frame looks like fubar BIG TIME!, but I know you and Sausage Fingers will get it fixed up just like new. Cannot wait for the next installment.

[@henkweurding3339]

Nice video looking forward for hopefully for you only part two of two instead 1 of 3...4 ... PS. Not a comment.... The German company Liebherr is pronounced in " English" : LEEBhair. Thumbs up!!! Hope it works out for you financially with this rebuild. Greetings from the Netherlands

[@bwdowns203]

Your a master Clint

[@petereriksson1390]

Hello from Sweden, we are yousing a moore expensive hose's always, you save a lot with the extra quality, beacuse the it's a difference that matters! From Peter Eriksson Sweden Europe 😮😅😊!

[@alanbierhoff6831]

This is going to be great for the viewers/subscribers and not so great for the C & C bank accounts. I have a feeling that we’re going to see a bunch of Mrs. C waving NAPA and JD receipts in the air 😆

[@toddincabo]

👍 ouch! that looks deep.

[@rubusroo68]

1/2 hour daily maintenance can save literally 10's of thousands of dollars in repairs/down time. unbelievable. another epic video, thank you.

[@wallbawden5511]

nothing i would like more than to spend a few days working along with you guys but time distance are a problem as you are a long way from Australia but keep up the exultant work on the video's as at least we can watch and learn along the way Cheers

[@robertquast9684]

Looks like some line boring action ahead. Sometimes you get the best and sometimes he gets you

[@anthonyrobertson2210]

Wow Kevin is the Man 😮👍

[@gandjboyd7872]

Tucker’s got a great looking truck , a video would be cool on it

[@davidperry970]

This was just getting good.

[@brentking-gmailking2570]

Good job Clint. Have a great weekend.

[@harveylong5878]

the fabricobbled cylinder delete rods hinted at hillbilly 'engineering'[. send them to Kleeman, he'll find a use for them. with the graveyard of parts dozers, there's no useable track frames to cannibalize? Mrs. C&C is going hit someone with something when the parts bill comes in for this beauty 😆

[@heavymachinery2843]

Love the heavy equipment repair love that stuff 👍👍

[@josephkitchel6259]

Chris needs another one!

[@ringstinga]

Great viewing guys !!

[@glennspreeman1634]

Good thing theren are some easy ones to carry the ones that bite.

[@jamesfoulger2098]

Some pockets need checking out if you're short of bolts

[@williamallen2817]

Your " Weatherhead " setup , sure beats our old hydraulic system ! "FOOL PROOF" !

[@Mtlmshr]

Ya never know those spacers someone made might come in handy one day? Those are one of those things that the day after you throw them out you would have the perfect job for them😜😂

[@keeanmorishita8457]

I respect your commitment to only selling quality equipment. You could have made that undercarriage someone else's problem but you are an honest man and thats why you will succeed. You win some and you lose some and I can see some good fortune coming your way in the future.

[@viseshseernam39]

if you put ripper shanks on the tracked loader you can sell this machine as a dozer as it would clear ground and break hard compacted ground

[@lukemeisenbach1964]

Order that bigger can for all the worms now.

[@richardellis3141]

nice project.

[@moman0166]

I know that deep down feeling of something major you couldn’t see but still blame yourself for missing it but it just can’t be helped and you wouldn’t sell it knowing it needed repairing but in the long run when you sell this machine you will sleep better. Everybody needs to own a business for two years and deal with all you have to deal with plus make a profit before they can enter the work force after college.

[@garysoykin2783]

Yep awesome video like always

[@RPD8256]

Liked the “Preview of Coming Attractions” clip at the very end! Nice teaser! Can’t wait for Part 2. Great work, as always.

[@garymurt9112]

Looking like some building up with welding and line boring coming up

[@johnwesner3935]

It's always fun to see why the previous owner sent it to the auction!:(😢😢

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

There is always a reason Either financial or mechanical

[@jamescole1786]

4/14/23; JD 455K from auction...1st video of...? Fix-up so far...2 new JD bucket hydraulic cylinders; +discovery of that (3"ID ?) torn bushing & upper worn roller...wow! Oh man! Clint, am gettin' a expensive pain feelin' in my video addiction watching you discover $$$ parts in need of replacement. Don't understand why owners/operators don't lube these wear components on a 'clock/hours' interval. Am sure you will restore this fine machine to 'like new' condition! Keep your camera rolling so we can see next episode as this project moves to completion. Stay safe & carry on!⚙️🔧👍👏🍺😊

[@MatthewJRedmond]

Well if yall weren't so far away, would be happy to come lend a helping hand in exchange for a chance to play with her once she's all fixed up 😂. Look forward to seeing the just how bad it is and the homemade contraption there in closer detail. Keep up the good work ol boys 😁 👍

[@ProudPapaw88]

Keep’em comin boys! Love these type videos. Very interesting they are. Great video! Thanks for sharing!!

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Glad you like them!

[@marvinmarlin9655]

14:17 made me laugh out loud😂😂😂, good to see you shying away from that “aftermarket” trash. Good stuff may be 3 times the cost but it lasts 3 times as long and is 3 times less hassle come replacement time. Great vid guys, keep em coming.👍🏻

[@StephenBrown-ti6mm]

So satisfying to see knowledge passed on amazing work yet again.

[@bigun447]

Glad Kevin and Randy keep you around.

[@garybrady9531]

Granddad used chains and comealongs to take put track frames.oh yeah the good old days thank gawd their gone

[@yenerm114]

The ole Taylor turbo diesel track puller 5000 trick 😆👌🤘🤘 the suspense is killing me👌

[@willgallatin2802]

OUCH! Any time I see a line bore setup, I know it's going to be costly.

[@POVSOUN-168]

Nice view brother.

[@thebear5454]

When Kevin was cutting the hoses it took me back when I did all that at NAPA...the blue smoke and smell of burning rubber. Great smell, especially at 7am when you are not even awake yet. LOL. I'm amazed at the cost of parts. No wonder it costs so much to get any work done. You guys knock it out of the ballpark keep up the great work.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks 👍

[@randydobson1863]

hello c &c equipment and clint and kevin its is randy and i like yours video is cool and super cool video thanks friends randy

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks randy

[@danielashford2430]

It’s fun watching you guys fix/break all the equipment,thanks folks peace…

[@philstreeter9703]

Great video. Would love to see Tucker's truck. This track loader series will be great.

[@LunkerFishing]

I wear headphones when on KZbin. I was wondering why you were putting on hearing protection but they you showed me why! I had to turn off the sound on KZbin! 📣

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Lol Sorry

[@johnbosse2527]

Awesome video!! what a rough looking machine

[@jimedwards9310]

So nice having your own hose machine ❤

[@charlesroberts6965]

Great content as always..great to see you using weatherhead fittings growing up in our families Napa stores I made up many hoses for our customer over time and by far they are the best. My brother thought at one time to switch over to the gates fittings and what a costly mess that was..Dad made him put it back It's a complete and great system and well worth the investment. Awesome job on the loader and hope the carnage is not too costly to fix. Appreciate you sharing the day with us,😀

[@jpewslgl]

Always a good video. Working on the trucks is just as entertaining as the big equipment. Fixing Tucker's truck would be fun to watch. Would also love to see a time lapse or full video of painting one of the big machines.

[@thomasyerbey337]

I always enjoy watching Clint 🇺🇸

[@edwardnelson9807]

Hope poor kevin is ok. I mean the boss man made him swing a hammer lol. Another good one guys

[@busterbailey370]

Love the how too videos please keep them coming

[@rhondasweeney7271]

A little bit of carnage there I see. The both of you will get it solved that's one mighty machine

[@Jimmyfisher121]

love it Clinton, Kevin and now Mason.

[@KarlyMONSTERAlexis]

10:43 Clint: "whoop, sorry bub... *get outta my way* " 😂😂😂

[@KarlyMONSTERAlexis]

14:26 Kevin: *high pitched voice* "you're such a bully" 😂😂😂 love that y'all can have a good laugh and still get so much done!

[@Wyrm1701]

I do love all these Imperial measurements; like stepping back in time to a Victorian workshop! I'm just waiting for someone to ask for a Whitworth bolt...

[@johnnyrodgers9794]

And this is why you’re successful in your business you guys would never knowingly sale equipment with major problems trust in business is key and that’s what’s wrong with the world today people don’t care anymore great video Clint

[@tonytomlinson7597]

My first track loader was a International 175C. These loaders have came a long way since 1980.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Yep Those were good old machines also

[@pinwizz69]

Well, first off. Of course we wanna watching Tuckers truck getting treated with tendar care. Secondly, it's really nice to see something new pop up Clint and Sausage Fingers Kevin has to chase down and fix a bunch a stuff on. This one is really interesting. I myself can't understand why someone took the cylinders off instead of just making them inoperatble by disabling the hydrolics to it and installing bolt on clamps at each end of the ram and keeping the chrome greased to keep them from getting rusty. Ooh well, then we wouldn't have this episode to watch and learn on. Heck, I'd love to fly up and help work on that beast... it I was a couple decades younger. That's kinda actually what I'd consider fun. Now that I've watched to the end I'm pretty sure There's gonna be a couple of more episodes on that seriously mistreated machine.

[@juanwaller1942]

Can’t wait for the next episode.

[@stevepoore2322]

This was a good video! I will be tuned in for round 2!

[@zv2019]

I always look forward to your next video after every one!

[@heatherlane9270]

Oh Blow it - that was going so well - nearly too easy really. Those hidden 'finds' are the worst. Another great video with informative content.

[@whathasxgottodowithit3919.]

Absolutely brilliant channel content. I do feel for you Guys though, you never know what you are getting in to at auctions, I guess you have to take the bad with the good. Good luck with that one Guys
