Cat Guts

Pushing the D9 on the lowboy and tearing down the final drive

[@Moo01100]

I like how you work... slow and methodical. You seem to have all the right gear for field repairs. You are a man of extraordinary powers.

[@28yogy4todd]

Excellent learning video to us that have never seen the inside of a Cat final drive. Thank you.

[@keithhill9138]

Jay, l am very impressed that you have the courage to tackle that big of a job plus tear that other D9 down. Don’t let it get the best of YOU!!!

[@scottfredenburg924]

My dad has been a heavy equipment mechanic for ever witch made me a heavy equipment mechanic. This stuff is so hard on a mans body. Watched my poor old man get slowly crippled up and decided to get out the profession. My pop is 71 and can’t hardly walk or stand straight. Hard to watch. Keep up the awesome video work jeff. This was the first one I saw a while back. Cheers from southern Oregon

[@canvids1]

I have operated heavy Equipment at the railway till I retired. But rare we would get to see the mechanics repairing them, so this is very new to me and I am really enjoying what you are showing us and I must say thank you and keep the videos like this coming to us people that love watching these operations.

[@Jpaydirt]

***** Okay, but I can't afford to many like this one. ☺☻

[@LoggerWade]

Hey bud that’s why we watch you get into the coolest fixes

[@jifi-0178]

A fantastic speciman. Absolutely lovely that you have captured such a rare creature in its native D9 habitat. Well done, sir, well done!

[@Jpaydirt]

+Ji Fi-01 (Jif) yes I used a 988 caliber, got it with one shot☺

[@dmcc4286]

Y'all are some bad boys. Just tear into it. Love it.

[@endtimeawakening5557]

Thanks for videoing your work Jay. This is fascinating to some of us, how these massive machines turn Horsepower into the Torque that Drives the modern world. I wonder how many cubic yards of earth man has moved since discovering these machines of Internal combustion and hydraulics? It's got to be close to the volume of the moon I'd guess...

[@catdieselpower193]

I tell ya what jeff if the bottom ever falls out from under the gig I got now it would be an honor to work for ya pard! they got me stuck in Washington now runnin a 977 feeding hawg fuel ( saw dust) into the paper mill burners! lol then I get on the Ole 14 and keep the haul roads smooth! in my spare time! lol but it keeps me out of mischief I reckon!

[@brockwiserful]

that scraper will smoke like hell :0

[@rogerkennedy8256]

Got a lot of classic iron there

[@Tf9500]

I like your puller looks like a must have tool when you play with stuff like that, I now I had my hands over my nuts waiting for the bang when it let go LOL

[@Jpaydirt]

+Tf9500 I was hiding mine behind the ripper, I'm not a dumb squirrel

[@hettinger1000]

I guess we've been super lucky, but I haven't had this happen on any of our dozers. However a D-7G that I sold some years back had final drive problems for the new owners so I guess we just dodged some bullets. Thanks for the video. I enjoy both the good stories as well as the problem ones like this.

[@Jpaydirt]

[@MakePeace123]

Thank You for loading this

[@cat740dt]

I've honestly never seen a scraper roll so much coal. that's awesome.

[@Jpaydirt]

cat740dt It has a hydraulic Air fuel ratio valve, and until its "cocked" by full boost they will smoke like that, unless you adjust it down but then it takes forever to wind up

[@Louis21237]

Great video. I really enjoy watching them!

[@Jpaydirt]

Thanks Louis

[@tonnistarker5380]

great videos, very educational keep doing more.

Nice video! Never seen inside the final drives of a dozer before. Interesting but I love anything mechanical.

[@Jpaydirt]

PFFT deere?? lol funny! SHIT man deere can't even sniff the tracks!! of a Cat!

[@Dailydieseldose315]

The bigger they are. The harder they fall.

[@Jpaydirt]

DailyDieselDose You mean the " heavier they are" LOL

[@acorn9934]

Nice job, better than watching Netflix..

[@CumminsDslPwr]

Wow Jeff, you weren't kidding when you said there would be carnage on this video. You have my sympathy on that mess. The last dozer final drive I remember having apart, had safety wire on all the bolts, but that was on a D-8 I'm pretty sure. So none of those bolts were safety wired at all on your D-9 ?

[@Jpaydirt]

CumminsDslPwr every bolt has a metal lock, and that little bastard should have also had one, I rebuilt it 27 years ago

[@CumminsDslPwr]

***** 27 years is pretty good service when you work them as hard as you do, so you must have done a damn good job when you did the overhaul. I was hoping it wasn't something my Dad did wrong when he put that together when it was built originally. He worked at the Morton Illinois assembly plant back when that was made, LOL

[@Redhawk454casull]

Hope the other side doesn't have any loose bolts. Really nice video I know its a pain to fiddle with a camera and wrench at the same time, but its fun to watch.

[@Jpaydirt]

+Redhawk454casull I just have to remember to turn it on

[@regsparkes6507]

Work fascinates me, I can sit here and watch it for hours.. I heard that somewhere, may years ago,..now I know where to apply it ! Mostly all because of one little 3/8" bolt, you said ? Is there a Part 2, to this repair ?

[@regsparkes6507]

+Reg Sparkes Never mind, I just found it.

[@Jpaydirt]

+Reg Sparkes I know what you mean, I can watch work all day but I don't want anything to do with performing it☻

[@fivehundreddollar7.3powers26]

my bolts came out of my pinion carrier on the 955l it made a mess of things but found a bunch of planetary gear berings pitted in the transmission. what a mess

[@Jpaydirt]

+Dustin Mayfield I feel for ya man,

[@stevenrobinson1379]

How long ago did you check the oil,looks like it all burned up!

[@MrHeadshot1982]

Thats a big job keep up the good work.

[@Jpaydirt]

Ok but no more final drives...........please

[@kerrypope767]

Great Video

[@hunterhicken9722]

I'll take a suveneer😂

[@mmciau]

From your experience with the Cat 9, what do you believe is the weakest point in the power train in normal operations? (I accept a loose bolt will wreck any sun and planet gear train) Mike

[@Jpaydirt]

+Mike McInerney Mike, I've had a final split the sun gear in two and then break the planet gears, but only once, I use it in the rock quite a bit, so maybe the weak point would be the finals, but only in rock, they take quite a beating in rock

[@feff3277]

dam. your working on that stuff as much as you are operating it. cool videos though, im a mopar guy and fellow dirt mover

[@Jpaydirt]

Naw, just looks like it, I've been told people really like the repair videos, so I been giving it to them

[@johnvanpomeren9254]

The 631 that pulled the D9 off the low loader isn't running too well. Overfueling badly. Clean out the air filters and check the injectors.

[@Jpaydirt]

That's a 637, and it's not the air filters or injectors, it's old turbo technology and also the afr has not been cocked into the operating position yet, they smoke like that until enough boost is made to cock the hydraulic afr control into the operating position, it has a switchblade turbo on it now and smokes way less, but will still smoke until that first boost is made, everytime you shut down the engine and oil pressure is lost the afr cannot control the fuel again upon initial startup until boost sets the spool inside the afr to operating position

[@Cruelaid]

[@calraines6931]

Hope the repair parts don't break the bank! luck

[@Jpaydirt]

cal raines Naw I got Trump change LOL

[@MakePeace123]

Jay when a planetary sprocket gear breaks on D9 final drive does it mean the whole final drive has to be replaced or can you get just the broken gear?

[@Jpaydirt]

when a planet gear breaks it will usually break the sun gear also, I've been buying complete finals and then putting in new bearings and inspecting everything else, I have in the past just replaced the broken parts, but I like buying complete finals as they have the original quality built cat parts not the cheap china stuff they make now

[@MakePeace123]

How much do the used final drive cost

[@Jpaydirt]

@MakePeace123 I can buy a good take off for 3,200

[@MakePeace123]

@@Jpaydirt Jay can you tell me who to check with for a quote I am needing a final drive for my D9G66A7416

[@Jpaydirt]

@@MakePeace123 I don't know where you are, but what I would do is go to machinery trader and look at dismantled machines, I bought mine from Utah Track and Welding buy a complete final. my D9 is 66A7864

[@w056007568]

I cannot believe that you had 100tons of pressure on that shaft and you still had to shock it as well to get it to move! Is that filter you pointed out to clean the oil in the final drive or some other oil? I was amazed at the huge amount of collected crap in that cavity. What parts have you had to actually replace as the cost of spares must be truely horrendous - please accept my sympathy. I truely enjoy your videos.

[@Jpaydirt]

+Dan Whiteford the filter is for the final drive oil, newer models had a magnetic filter inside, but you couldn't access it from the outside, I bought a complete final drive from Utah Track, a used parts company in Salt Lake City, it you were to buy all the parts new it would be about $60,000 the ham cover alone is $18,000 but its discontinued.

[@w056007568]

Wow that is some big money for the parts new, I trust you were able to get that second hand complete unit for rather less than that sum you have mentioned above!

[@Jpaydirt]

+Dan Whiteford Yes I was, or else it would be scrap

[@phillipbonner5215]

You got yourself into a mess this time

[@deathvalleyalex9485]

D-9 poop ? Good one !

[@anthonyramirez3862]

i have also problem on my D7E when i pull the right pivot and step on the brakes doesnt steer to the left and another thing is the sproket is vibrating...its like the axle gear is broken.?what seems be the problem mate im a newbie.

[@Jpaydirt]

Sounds like the steering clutch is not working, check the oil in the final drive for metal also, take the round plate that is on the rear of the tractor off, the one where a winch would attach, and then have someone pull the steering clutch lever and listen to see if there is excessive oil leakage from the piston ring seals, if you have a bad seal you will hear and possibly even see oil spraying inside, do this with the tractor running, if its a bad piston ring seal you will have to pull that clutch out

[@anthonyramirez3862]

ok mate i will look forward unto that....by the way thanks to your video it helps me a lot.

WOW , man what damage a 3/8 bolt can do , somebody forget to put some thread locker on that ! BTW , look to me like BIG TRACTOR , BIG PARTS , BIG PRICE !!! I can't even guess what the cost will be , plus the labor and worse the down time , plus after it's fixed you still have to finish the JOB . PITA BIG TIME !!!!

I'm not sure. I lost all interest after Google translated it and it came out like that. But seeing as how this thread has gone completely to hell in a handbasket, might I pose a question? I might be looking right past the obvious, but could you enlighten me as to how you came up with the name for The Filthy Whore ? Maybe there's a story waiting to be made into a video, I dunno.... I really enjoy your content, and I get a kick out of the added humor of all flavors.
