Hey Warren, I totally agree with your assessment of our forefathers. All my great grandparents were born in Europe. Germany and Norway. They came here with what they could carry and a few dollars in their pockets because of the opportunities here. They could work hard, which was their lives in Europe, but here they could acquire land, wealth and freedom from kings, queens and nobility. Pioneering the west in search of "free" land. What was the cost of that free land? Accidents, illness and outlaws took a heavy toll. Our youth is so far removed as to be completely ignorant of the sacrifices made. Before WWII my father, as a boy, still worked the farm with horses. My grandfather's both watched aviation from the Wright Brothers through man on the moon! Modern youth watched IPhone 1 thru IPhone 15!:(

I can tell you one of the biggest reasons people do not care, they stopped teaching history in school. The issue was compounded by parents taking a back seat in education and assumed their kids were being taught the same things they were. People have also become so self centered that they cannot even begin to understand the struggles of our ancestors or anyone else for that matter.

If ya want to bring change, then take over the education system. They've been entrenched for at least 40 years. It would take a revolution with a lot of terminations to right this ship, something that the sheeple are not up for.

Yep if I had kids in school I would be working 4 jobs to send them to private school or I wouldn’t work at all and home school them! Everyone forgets public schools are ran by the government and all they are now is indoctrination camps for our kids to be indoctrinated into the government’s line of thinking! Just think about that little tidbit for a minute and you’ll realize it’s true!

Great video, you are a toughie! Old(really old!) Cat field mechanic here, started in a Cat shop in 1962. Did a lot of those D4 clutches. And a few housings without dropping the oil pan. We would pull the dowels, use some permatex on the pan sides of gasket, put in all the bolts but not tight then taper the dowels a bit more and drive them in the tighten up everything. Usually worked out OK

Hard work is something today's kids do not seem to understand anymore. I am 74, and hard work is all I know. You talk about the workers from the 1800's. Some of them were 14, 15, and 16 years old with wives and kids. They understood hard work and long days

Frank bought a 1940 6 cylinder CAT diesel engine saw mill with a circular cutting blade. It uses a gasoline powered pony motor to start the diesel engine. it does not have to drive down the road, it just sits there in the field under cover all year long. The saw mill takes logs that are 16 feet long and up to 25 inches in diameter in width. It works pretty slick. Debbi's son is training Navy air crew for SERE school this week in Maine winter.

The same attitude is happening here in Australia. Our children are being told that the people who discovered Australia did not exist and that it is all wrong. Statues to these people are being torn down and there is a big push to have the original inhabitants given back a lot of land. The politicans are hell bent on giving this country away and to hell with the thousands of men and women who died in the many wars they fought to keep this country safe. It is really discusting the wayour current politicans behave. They only think about votes and they will stoop very low to get them.

Greetings Warren, I see you using the ole nutwreckingspanner again setting the seal, this D4D is a unique old piece, at least it ain't a Paccar.. You are right about society today, I have been a commercial industrial construction electrician for over 50 years, getting close to retirement, now we aren't allowed to even talk to people in a way they may find offensive, as the minute they FEEL their feelings are hurt they run to HR and say the man is talking mean to them. I say time to put the big boy / girl panties on and suck it up.. You are 100% right on the state of affairs in the country, and hopefully they can't cheat enough this time and the one that actually gets the most votes wins the election, we will be screwed, because the imbecile there now has done more harm to the country in 3 years than any other in recorded history.
