I bought another non running Cat D7F dozer at auction… does it run and move? Will my gamble pay out?

[@darrylhauswald8956]

My son and I farm at Corydon. Our u tube Chanel is hauswald farms. I’ve had knee replacement and have had lots of time to watch your U Tube channel. You amaze me on your ability to bring an older machine back to life that be of service to many people. I watch your auction videos and learn so much. We have a decent fleet of construction Equiptment that we use on our farm. Apparently you have Ben vey successful. Nice shop and the tools you use to accomplish the hardest task. Like your Pete. Along with your helpers.once again thanks for sharing your knowledge to me and many others

[@scottdrenske830]

What a lovely wife you have. Saw her vidieo other day. Funny lady you got. Made me laugh.

[@barryodell9537]

I like seeing the old cats running, they are simple , no electronics!

[@andrewking4885]

The D7G was a popular Cat dozer in it's time.

[@davidcokley1929]

Hey Clinton, Looks like you're going home with some nice equipment from this auction. That old D7F is a beast! Once you got it going, it just purred like a kitten. BY the time you go through it and make sure everything's OK, it will make someone a damn nice dozer. Looking forward to watching the next video.

[@refiii9499]

Gotta love those 3306 engines! She sounds great! Late 60’s early 70’s cats were bulletproof.

[@MissionaryForMexico]

You are absolutely right!

[@JoshBeards]

They had far more power than a dozer their size should've. I loved running a D7 Gulf. The Foxes.....meh not so much.

Nice you definitely go nice good excavators there with little maintenance to do 👍 👌

when looking at a item, pull the dipstick and pinch the oil, If its sticky, its laced with STP, then put a lighter to it, If the oil spits, there is antifreeze in it.

I really like your channel. I feel like you fix everything that you sell as if you were keeping it for yourself. That’s rare nowadays with sellers trying to save every penny they can because of the state of the economy. Keep the videos coming.

Nice Mrs and Mr Clinton, Glad everything worked for you, I enjoyed the auctions nice change but prefer the workshop videos, cant wait to see what you come up with Bridget should be fun.

Those old Cat dozers are so tough and reliable. They last a long time if they have been half way taken care of.

[@ryanshadders750]

I can't even imagine how stressful it is to go to these auctions and put up the type of money you have to for that much equipment and then have to ship it home. Sure you guys are great at what you do and will make money in the end but doesn't mean it's easy. Thanks for showing us a whole other side of the business. It was very interesting as always.

That tractor brings back memories! Countless hours of stick time in that same machine as an Army engineer deployed using "seabee" equipment in the far Western pacific building roads in Micronesia in the early 80's. Hard work, long days but so worth it. Thanks for posting, take care and God bless.

Hi from New Zealand, yes Clint is an amazing person, and the work. I love older Cats. You don't need all the computer crap to run a machine. The computer is just there to cause more problems.

[@joeyvirts1600]

That was a pretty good haul you picked up this time.

[@michaelmullins1290]

Glad the D7 cranked and run. Be nice to see you hit a few outta the park where you had to double rebuild the dozer engine.

I’d hate to be writing that check!! If you need an overflow lot for one of the new cats, I’m your guy!

[@alanclark639]

Difficult to tell when Clint has a rye smile - cos he kinda has one most of the time - but I did like the little aside about the "imaginary" bidder that the auctioneer thought he'd heard - and far more difficult with all those callers you have Stateside! Over here in Little Old England the flippin' hammer crew are "at it" all the time - uplifting bids, or slamming down just as the reserve is passed. I'm not as wide as Clint but at 6' 1" and wearing boots and a big hat - difficult to miss - yet I had to yell to one ring - "what have got to do to get you to notice me? Join the Magic Circle"? Next sale they gave me a wand.

[@gregorysmith1107]

[@errolorticke5573]

I'll be in touch! Going to purchase a skid steer...

[@johnwatts5690]

Looks like you did really well at this one!

[@localcrew]

Larry has an ex-Navy D7F but it’s configured a bit different. No throttle lever. It’s all in the decel pedal. The fuel primer pump sits vertically. His is a real peach. I think it has 1600 hours and original undercarriage. Manufactured in 1973. I was using it today, as a matter of fact. We use it to pull out the TD15B when it’s buried in the muck. Speaking of which, I need cutting edge and end bits for that machine. Guess I better call Clinton!

[@andygrace3825]

I ask why? But then love the craziness of single handed 500! Boom boom boom indeed, thanks Scott. Now go have a wash :-)

[@bubbagreensmith7174]

Just started watching this. Hope it’s a good machine for you Clint!!!

[@gliderp]

Lucky. Fresh paint on used equipment triggered old memories. "I'LL PAINT ANY CAR (or dozer) FOR $99.00." Earl Schieb. I was thinking if this was just lipstick on a pig.

That was awesome. As I said in one of your earlier videos you need to be aware of others trying to raise bids. Shame someone stole your gas cap. Especially after you buy something you need to protect your investment.

[@Note_Creator]

On that compactor with the missing fuel cap. I would drain the fuel and inspect the fuel tank with borescope camera, to make sure no body did something.

Between you and DP and Chris, I'm now going to be looking at local auctions for equipment, mainly due to price of new I can't afford it or justify the purchase, plus, older things I can actually learn to work on and fix them. One thing with your channel has given a lot of knowledge of older machines, and for smaller operations like myself... older is smarter and cheaper to deal with. Thanks for the vids, and auction vids so I can learn what to be looking for. Appreciate it kind sir!
