I tell you what, it doesn't get any better than a video from DP on Friday morning and Clint in the afternoon!!! Thank you C &C Equipment!!!!

[@cadave4927]

I totally agree watching DP in the morning and CC in the afternoon

[@jamesstickney7042]

I save all of the videos till night time

[@elwinharrison1099]

The CAT 518 is a log skidder. It looks like someone replaced the rear housing with one from a 518.

[@justinmcclanahan6036]

I was about to say the backend was switched sometime

[@gullreefclub]

Learn something new everyday

[@charliebrown1020]

There is also a caterpillar 518 trash compactor machine

[@charliebrown1020]

They are similar machines so it is entirely possible they switched the backs and fronts of two machines

[@larryehrlich57]

My grandfather lived thru the depression and he did not tolerate waste...and he made that perfectly clear to his children and grandchildren.

[@csnelling4]

Nice to see uncle Scot with a big smile 😀Thanks guys 😊🥤🧋🍺🍺🍺👌

[@timooten5333]

Really enjoy your videos, Clint. Tell Kevin he's only seven months away from Christmas - I know he's counting the days.

[@paulprigge1209]

Seven months At first I thought he’s expecting . I guess he is Christmas

[@cullenmiller8170]

Thank good uncle Scott wasn’t close to the lightning strike. He could have lost the family jewels with all those bolts in his pockets. 🤣🤣

[@genesispuredeaf2390]

Tell Kevin after he checks the tire pressure that the blinker fluid needs to be topped off….just to be sure.

[@russellsmith3825]

I was telling DP he needed one of these for building pond dams, spread and pack at the same time

[@tomtke7351]

PowerLube 100 Or PowerLube 5000 ??? I more fully appreciate the TEAM effort you guys employ... And not just the actual work but the tweaking of one-another too. You keep the effort fun (at least tolerable) when else it might be tool-tossin' bedlam. Quite frankly, "good show."

[@joshdrake1515]

Caterpillar made a 518 log skidder

[@chillywilli]

They always say “don’t throw away your old shoes before you get new ones”, but if you want new ones you can “create” a need of course😀

[@terryrogers1025]

Hey, Kevin forgot to check the muffler bearing, they run rough with bad muffler bearings!!!🙄😳😏😁 Thanks for the bvideo sir.

[@kenore4003]

They last a lot longer if you get the chrome plated ones.

[@joeblow3939]

🔵🔵 Take a punch to the lock ball on the side of your extension. 👍👍

[@KeithMoffat-yo4gq]

Would that I were 30 years younger and had a green card!!! I would be down at C&C looking to work for free. I think your channel is just great. Keep on filming. Your Canadian friend.

[@texxasal]

Take a pair of gas pliers on that stuck extension and squeeze the ball and see if it was improperly seated in there when they put it together as the last step of the assembly. I've had that happen on Craftsman and snap on and all kinds of other tools sometimes the ball just gets stuck.

[@Jimmyfisher121]

Now that was, entertaining, informative, up lifting, and funny as hell, thank you Clinton and the Kevin, nice to see the rest of the team Mason, uncle Scot and the charming Bridget, what an awesome video, can't wait for more.

[@jimhancock5047]

That sure is a heavy duty lawn aerator! Nothing better than big iron content!

[@Fixingeverthingwithaengine567]

Where I work at we had a forklift that was literally falling apart. They refused to get it fixed or serviced. Same with the concrete in the back where the pallets and other stuff is stored. Holes big enough to get the forklift stuck. They always said it was corporates fault but the store Mgr is suppose to ok projects with the regional.

[@jeffreysiler9389]

No you didn’t get burned it’s a wonderful machine that you bought 🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊

[@whitman_9945]

Ok after the harbor freight has been given away, how about doing one with tools made in the USA!?

[@oddtechman]

gawd you guys have all the crazy fun.. awesome to see something totally different on the channel. so we get to see a full old to new restoration on it ?

[@larrystoodley7193]

That compactor is the type they use at landfills to compact the trash

[@russellsmith3825]

That would be the 816 main difference is the wheels

[@joelmoody1569]

I ran several diffrent 815's over my career as a heavy equipment operator. They are good machines . I worked on building house pads and building pads for wharehouse's .@@russellsmith3825

[@davew3754]

Kevin, “Mr. Harbor Freight” should get a Harbor freight bucket to use for returns…. One at a time of course!

[@danacampbell-vu2ut]

You said you always test the equipment you buy to make sure they are in working order. IT WORKS!!!! ❤👍🤭😄😂😂😂😂

[@tutekohe1361]

There is a Cat 518, it’s a Wheel Log Skidder, with a 4 cylinder engine of around 120hp - smaller brother of the 528 which has the 3306 6 cylinder.

[@ronniespikes9089]

Your channel is certainly growing on me. I enjoying seeing family owned and operated business thrive. Get the videos rolling.

[@alisciamarotta3888]

That extension is JANKA!!!

[@kevinmurray7135]

To Kevin i know that you know that Clint is right cause you shouldn’t have to fix brand new tools ⚒️ so they should know about the ones that malfunction so quality control can step up their game right Kevin 👍😎🇺🇸NY

[@johnwesner3935]

I've spent my entire adult life warning people about cheap tools😮 Work is difficult enough without wondering if your tools will perform. The best hammers are Big Johnson. You can't get the job done, without a Big Johnson!😅

[@Fatamus]

Smashing deal 👍😁

[@Robertmacmedia]

Never know what we're going to see here great fun video 👍

[@TheRandythawkins]

“Tire pressure” - Ha! My first laugh of the day. That was awesome.

[@bassboat1]

Soak your hammers in green coolant (PEG). The handles will swell up, but not dry and shrink back down.

[@PaulHigginbothamSr]

Refrigerators have to have a heater in the ice box to work. If the heater goes out the air cannot circulate to the other side of a fridge. The heater is just a wire coil resistance heater and when I put it in the fridge started working.

[@Fixingeverthingwithaengine567]

Ya check the air pressure in those invisible tires and check the suspension for play😂.

[@merleschoonard8077]

I live in Marion Ohio. My next door neighbor has some old cat dozens for putting in pipeline. He does sale engine from some of his equipment.

[@ringstinga]

Love the crack you guys have !! Think you maybe in trouble with the boss though 🤣🤣🤣

[@jamesburns8247]

The Consumer Report on Harbor Freight refrigerators is 5 Star

[@SWHBOYCE]

Great show today !!! Always informative and y'all have a great sense of humor all the time !!..." 'preciate y'all ! "

[@christalmoore9573]

No Worry, Kevin will fix it !

[@johnroberts8475]

I'm laughing at the look on Mrs C's face it kind of says it all.

[@proberts34]

When you were checking the oil in that front-left hub and declared it good. I thought you might also sniff it to check it. That led me to a childish humorous thought. . ."Hey Kevin, smell my finger". 🙂😁😄😅😂🤣🤣 I'll just stop there. 😉

[@ian_b5518]

Was so funny watching Clint calm down from his wild hair. Not sure if Harbor Freight came first or the lightning hit lol

[@russellclement2058]

The 815 has been round for a good while now , 35 yrs that I know of , top machine for compacting ,,

[@glennjukes5581]

Like the content here! Especially the old school trick--put the hammer in a bucket of water so the handle will swell up. Yaa think?

[@dansevern3291]

Amazing how that lightning strike put that ridge on the HF extension. Isn't nature wonderful?

[@toddincabo]

👍 That's a whole flock of sheep there, with some true Camarata at the end.

[@kevinkenyon7045]

Clinton and crew great video! Keep having fun while working! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

[@jackgreen412]

File extension - some sort of computer lingo? I've had a set of Snap- on and Par-X socket etc. Never a problem except for losing them.

[@KrKold]

perfect demo

[@erichayes9192]

Clint be very careful when asking Kevin for some power lube!

[@tomparker7140]

It was pretty funny...running over that refrigerator!

[@Crewsy]

Uncle Scott wasn’t grumpy and even Mrs. C&C was smiling at the end. Perhaps she has an upgrade in mind for the office refrigerator.

[@rdecoster1]

Yes I hit the like!!! I think you and your crew are the Best!!!! What I would like to see is you running over that made in china harbor frieght toolbox!! You have a Great show!!!

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@Timberns]

Same with the Ford glow plugs… the ones under the turbo never get changed

[@morgansword]

I've bought or inherited many if not all brands of tools.... I bought for a reason a name brand tool box in my small shop that people seen driving in. That snap on box was around ten grand if memory serves me at all anymore. In the box was a mixture of tools as I got away from paying prices unforgivably high. Like a swivel head ratchet with fine teeth, and it was a three eights drive. over a hundred dollars and the one I bought from Mac was only forty five and a way way better ratchet. Some tools though, regardless the price, I bought the best I could find and price not a factor... just had to be the very best, if I crawl into a hellhole to fix something and the tools I take with me are a "NobrainO" as our spanish neighbors who are rolling in by the numbers higher than a politician's criminal history list.... just not a good thing. I figure a hammer is a hammer and if it works and fits my hand well, nether words is not hard to use then I can through it in a bucket of diesel and soak up the handle wood in the head and not get too rusty that way. I don't dunk it in so far that it gets on the rest of the handle and makes it a weapon just waiting to happen. Lucky getting that dang glow plug out as easy as it did as they have a habit of swelling up when they died. Great video as always Clint..... I just can't quit at a too long already comment. I watch hamilton farm once in a while as Hank is so cheap that it affects my OCD on dumb cheap people. Going to a job site with just a few tools he thinks he needs, and the ones that he takes are some of the very cheapest ones at harbor freight also. I know he asks you questions all the time but if ya ask a question from someone who does know stuff and you keep second guessing them... Err! and then when things don't work he will call again and ask again if there is a way to fix that screw up as well. I just don't have time for that. I would rather help some kid that needs help identifying say a sparkplug and the tool to remove it... the whole gambit ... rather than the guy who always passes the blame on someone else and then wonders why he doesn't have a friend that he can double count on. So if there is a cheaper tool than even harbor freights cheapest quality tool, he has it

[@yenerm114]

Don’t see them big ole monsters very often 👌🤘🤘

[@philhammond5908]

Man behind the scenes says he resents that , roller compactor is his favorite toy;-) 😅.

[@MrDaniel3105]

Clint you want to put a surge protector on you all you panel's and have a secondary one for computers, most definitely the computer for your plasma table. You got lucky because it could have damaged every electric item if you don't have one installed

[@B422TMack]

518 Is / Was a Cat Skidder. Enjoying the video on the 815. My Dad's & grandfather's buddy they subcontracted for put me on a 815 one summer @ 12 years old . One of most boring pieces of equipment I ever operated . Back & forth all day. Mack

[@garymessina1609]

Great enjoyable video Clint and the guys smiled all thru this one

[@stanwooddave9758]

FYI to tighten up that Hammer Head dip into / put a couple of drop's of Anti-Freeze onto the wood where the shim-wedge is located. I know it sounds weird but Tom of OX-Tools tested it on his channel. WORKS GREAT!!!!!!

[@bob-bf3ru]

Enjoy "Cat" Man and his kittens, My dad was a mechanic in the USAAF and later went to work for Shell Oil Company, operated the first backhoe in the area. A fellow employee nick named him "Cat" which was short for "Caterpillar John with a fluid drive". The backhoe was an International

[@toddb8479]

Clinton I needed your humor in this video today. Thanks.

[@Crewsy]

That 8” 1/4” extension just went through the chrome bath twice. So it’s got extra corrosion protection now. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@heatherlane9270]

I will never look at a sheep's foot roller without my memories of working sheep in a sheep yard - a sheep's foot hurts - why do they have 4 just to get their revenge I'm sure. Great video on how you managed to work out what needed to change. Those who make the mess are the ones who clean it up me thinks.

[@rickpabalis7987]

I was going to comment on a few things that made me laugh but this entire video had me laughing out loud and one of the funniest videos you have put out Clint. Thank you it made my day.

[@jeffterhune8573]

Fun video, that is one machine the Captain couldn't mess up. You all stay safe.

[@russellgilson4072]

The conversation between Clint & Kevin during your filming is a lot funnier than you may realize!

[@Fixingeverthingwithaengine567]

Could always put some grease zerks on the shaft.

[@OTEP1234567891011]

Instead of dipping that sledge from harbor freight in water to swell the handle up in the head, sit it in antifreeze overnight. Water evaporates and antifreeze doesn't.

[@MySynthDungeon]

Just lov it !! Makes my week complete! Coffees on guys!!;-)!!

[@thepubliceye]

On the Torque test channel, the Hercules impact and drills have been giving Millwalkie a real run, and even coming out on top.

[@davidkrueger2987]

best repair of a frig I've ever seen good job

[@TheSoloAsylum]

I've run an 836 many times, they are actually pretty fun to run. We also used them around the landfill to pull out everything that was stuck.

[@billvandorn5332]

That's a really nice acquisition for a compactor which does not appear to have needed a lot of work!

[@poorfarmerlogger]

518 was a cat skidder. Someone found em in the clearance bin at cat and said close enough lol.

[@btorkos5896]

Pack of hot dogs can slide in anywhere 😅

[@pauldillinger2286]

That was cool. I need one of those toys.

[@user1304ZZ]

Yeah! Harbor Freight Tools! and they've been tried and tested too!

[@likeaboss860]

That is the most important machine on a grading crew. It builds all the pads and fills. Brakes are always out on them but they should be riding level most of the time. I shift to reverse then downshift to stop them

[@rickdespain5363]

Very interesting something different. Enjoyed the fridge revenge, it's better to laugh when things go sideways not much else you can do crying don't help keep up the great videos.

[@richardphelan8414]

Awesome segment ,looking forward to the next ,

[@Chris-wb7ni]

Love when things get crushed

[@jimthode]

At 28:36, To tighten up a hammer handle, soak it is auto antifreeze and it will not dry out as it will using water.

[@greggmcclelland8430]

815's live forever. I designed the wiring and or cabs for the wheel loader/compactor lines from 1997- 2020. The only reason to ever replace the 815 is because the emissions requirements changed. They are just loafing most of their life. It does not take a ton of skill to operate it. The designs never got any love from cat. They basically got the wheel loader cab and not much else. The latest thing is intelligent compaction that can calculate the compaction on based on torque converter slip. Then it can be transferred to a virtual map. Has to be a big project to justify its use...like an airport or a huge stretch of highway. But it can improve the quality of the compaction and save a lot of fuel if done correctly. But the material selection is really important. It is not just the machine. @Letsdig18 knows his materials with all of the ponds he builds. His buddy charlie did a lot of cool soil amendments like portland cement to get the soil to compact. The bottom line, is that it is one of the more important machines on a road or pond project.

[@Runninhard247]

That was enjoyable. LOL i worked a few places that there was a lot of camaraderie. I worked there 8 years and it seemed less than 6 months. You didn't really mind all the overtime. Work is easy and not nearly as long when it is fun. Great work.

[@thomasdesmond2248]

So Kevin likes the Cosby Sauce. LoL God bless

[@casycasy5199]

its so funny, while im watching this i keep getting email notices about big harbor freight tool sales all weekend .

[@B717virtual_pilot]

Thank you C & C Always enjoy watching! Thumbs up for every video

[@chrischapman3586]

Caterpillar did make a 518 but it was a 518 skidder for Logging. They started making them back in the 70s and ran them up until the 90s. I learn to run one when I was a kid spent 10 years on the damn thing.

[@tutekohe1361]

They were an excellent Skidder, well designed and good quality. Very stable compared to a Clark - their main competition at the time. It’s bigger brother, the 528 with a 175hp 3306 6 cylinder was the Rolls Royce of Skidders - in it’s day.

[@Dontworryboutit315]

Those harbor freight tools are gonna be wore out after a year of use in your shop lol I’d give ‘em away too 😂

[@matthewromano8801]

The amount of outtakes for that one glowplug 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@clarencewiles963]

It has a bumper Thumbs up 👍

[@golfer963]

And that was a good anger management class. When you destroyed your Refrigerator. 😅😅😅😅😅🎉🎉

[@everestyeti]

Better check the tyres, brilliant. Wonder what it would be like to take one of these off roading, think it might be a bit scetchy but a whole lotta fun. 🤗

[@rmacsrmaddog2192]

Make the HET a show truck.

[@patrickdavis9796]

lol the way it looks nobody will want the tools I like it you guys are funny as hell keep them coming

[@chuckolson5825]

The last deal was great should help sell that great machine.

[@robertmilligan2792]

Absolutely brilliant having fun even though the full it department has got trouble because of a lightning strike brilliant channel best on KZbin keep the great content coming fairly brightened up a dull Scottish morning 😂

[@lonnielengkeek7]

Mama looks a little mad at you better get her a new frigerator👌💃👍🚜😊😁👈
