Nice looking and sounding tractor, tough old outfits

We logged with both the 48A-D7E and 94N-D7F back in the early 1980s. These machines were equipped with Esco hydraulic booms and 100-inch Esco grapples, which replaced winches and chokers. I was fortunate to spend a lot of time running both models. The Es got more power to the ground, as they were several thousand pounds heavier in the front end. The F-models were easier to maintain and service, as the 3306 engines were set up with modern spin-on filters. Both types of engines shared similar power ratings. The engine in the E was the 4-cylinder version of the huge inline-6 that powered several models of D8, including the 14A and 46A. The exhaust note from the E was very distinctive, and could be heard for miles away. The F I built roads with mounted a 12-foot by 66-inch-tall Baldersen U-dozer with hydraulic tilt. I could do some beautiful cutting and grading with that machine. Some of the happiest days of my life. Thanks for this video, and the memories!

Robert Lloyd Yes! Amen on the D7E exhaust note from afar. I remember it distinctly from back in the 70’s.

[@TonaldDrump686]

Not the first to notice that unique sound. I heard a few back in the 80’s, Father seems to enjoy the sound aswell.

Last Cat I owned was a D-7 E. Used for almost 10 years and sold for more than paid for it! One tough tractor! My contract required newer equipment so started leasing from Caterpillar, Could lease a new D-6 XL for less than expense of maintenance of old tractors. Then got hurt an lost contract , Could not find competent hands!

David Markham Wished I'd been there to help out.

Kyllä on mukava katsoa tätä vanhan liiton meininkiä. Selvästi on tuo homma hallinnassa ja koneen kunnosta näkee, että on oikeissa käsissä. Itsellä on D6B ja D8H, joista toisen olen jo entisöinyt. Mukava niillä on käydä puskemassa. Seiska se vielä puuttuu, mutte ehkäpä sekin joku päivä tulee hommattua. It's really nice to see an old school professionals at work. I have couple of old dozers (D6B amd D8H) my selves. The D7 and expecially D7E is something I like to have some day..

I was 11 years old when I was treated to some time in the cab - this reminded me strongly. Many thanks !!

[@DIESELMAN8V92]

Keep the vids coming, That is one cool old man and machine :)! I have a 1965 d8h with the same blade tilt configuration :the foot pedal on the far left". nothing pushes like these old caterpillars

[@markstengel7680]

I enjoyed your Cat D7 presentation. Well Done 🚜👍

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Ran E's and F's and preferred F's if they were set up right. That E was like a 6-B I ran with the foot tilt but I saw that one had a pony motor. Always were partial to the ponies. Start in any weather and the old 4-banger snort is a sound to hear! Good job!

[@CatD7Fin]

Thanks for your comments. We are from Finland. Cat has renovated four-cylinder turbo diesel :)

[@user-vb9jw7dg6k]

That Cat is as old as I am, and looks better.

[@localcrew]

It's a D7-48A series E. Big ol' honkin' turbocharged 4-cylinder. Nice dozer. I have two of the previous series (17-A) and this tractor is a big improvement. Power Shift, heavier undercarriage. I operated one like this once but without good grouser height it wouldn't push much. This one in the video could use some more grouser too. Still seems to push okay though. Nice video.

[@jukkasaksi]

Nice job 👍

[@ahmedazeem1532]

power full machine and long life

[@danlacey4138]

That's running really well,...nice video !

[@kaivelija6457]

Mahtava kone. Kuskikin on kiertänyt muutakin kuin tahkoa...

[@wz7285]

There is nothing that smells as sweet as dirt, twigs, and leaves....mixed with bits of diesel and engine oil....as it warms next to a Working Bulldozer motor😎👍

[@tomasyzf]

For serving the pedal is on the left?

[@alvarmuhonen2848]

[@adelarsen9776]

Great video and nice clearing in the forest. Was the area used for farming or to make a great big BBQ party area for roasting pork and drinking beer ?

[@fordsonman]

Probably making an gravel pit, just clearing off the topsoil to get access to the gravel.
