In the world of consumerism, it is utterly satisfying to see something get rebuilt and/or repurposed.

[@no1wrench]

Because i have worked on machines with 12 to 39 thousand hours that keep coming back for several repairs.... this gives the customer a "new" machine at a little more than 1/2 cost with a warranty. great idea long term.

[@csnelling4]

Loved to have worked on projects like that in my younger days 👍

[@Gcal1956]

This video is A testament to the team work of those folks. That’s some serious team work and corporation with all departments to pull that off in that short of a time. The right Parts getting ordered. Trucks bringing in parts on time for the build. Mechanics tearing down and reinstalling on schedule. Painters working to paint parts on time. The in-house fabrication teams doing one off hoses or who knows what to make the build complete. That’s a lot of people. A lot of emails and ph calls. These folks are as synchronized as a orchestra playing at the met gala for the president. Good job people!

THE GUY CLEANING THE FLOOR IS THA MAN

[@groundskeeperwille]

Brilliant! Looks like new, if this was the loader I was the operator on, I would very pleased when it came back!

[@ReezyChiloane]

I work for Terex Africa and do rebuilds. Engines and transmissions go for reconditioning. There's no need for new ones. Diffs and final drives you only service like changing worn bearings. All pipes are replaced. Tyres get painted if still in good condition. A Terex TR100 can cost the customer 20percent of a new one so rebuilds are great options plus they come with a warranty.

I am amazed that a dealer shop can do this. Wow.

[@markstengel7680]

Masterful job by quality people rebuilding quality

[@JlhIncExcavation]

One of my favorite style cat loaders, the G!

[@777fuzzypeach]

Best of the time lapse rebuild vids I have seen. Thanks for sharing it! Looks like top quality work done!

[@rp1645]

Beautiful CAT shop guy, very very nice rebuilt, the company that's going to is getting same Loader back only in brand new shape. Looks great.

[@bradholstiene6728]

I'm shocked how clean they kept there work area

[@trplpwr1038]

Good job keeping the shop clean and packaging picked up.

[@edisonsanjose5501]

I really like caterpillar.. I hope someday i can operate big equipment like 980G.. Or other series.

[@erlisgonzalez5]

[@manikpatil4186]

It's A Excellent Cat Technology. And Very Excellent Cat Mechanical Engineering Staff. Aware some.....

[@bagpuss121]

Thats What You Call A Full Rebuild ... Brilliant ..

[@popacap21]

this has gotta be an awesome job. Cat holds safety as key in their shops.. they would be a great team to work for.. I worked as an electical contractor (Low voltage installing fire alarm equipment) at one of the Cat wielding plants in Jacksonville fl, they wielded front end loader buckets.. and the were one of they only big companies to a huge emphasis on safety

[@michaelsclark]

Papakap22 yep same hear at the engine plant in Tx

[@truthexposed9916]

Pity they dont hire people that can spell.

Truth Exposed Because typos don’t happen. Take your snark and poor attitude/troll behavior to Russia. I hear they like smart asses.

[@somanynamesilltrythis0180]

Nice work guys, she's beautiful!

[@craigslist3445]

WOW ! I want to work on a team like that. Amazing

[@jettelo]

Yeah they got 1 black nicca workn but wat can you expect 4 Kentucky

[@Fentanyl3]

that was a total rebuild, not just new engine, heck they have an entirely new machine when that thing rolled out, I'll bet it was about 3/4 the cost of new machine, but you get the same life as a new machine, possibly more, as is often the case as rebuilt parts are often changed to make up for previous shortcomings.

[@biopticmammal]

Beautiful work 👍

[@fw1421]

Wow,two months and you would think they would have rebuilt the engine instead of swapping it out with another. Nice job though,looks brand new!👍🏻

[@brianburdine4620]

Keep that floor clean!

[@Ajras955]

I love you Caterpillar 😘 My name is Hussein from Iraq

[@ajishvarghese1433]

Excellent job.👍👍👍👍

[@godbluffvdgg]

[@mohammadezalden7824]

Very very beautiful

[@dionisiosoto7962]

[@mikescaffo4850]

Beautiful just like new I wouldn't want that overhaul bill

[@samuelsianipar]

nice video..........

[@aalivingfire]

Kudo's to Whayne Supply - a great dealer!

[@patrickwhelan5703]

What percent of that rebuild was brand new parts? What parts get reconditioned or rebuilt?

[@markrigsby2425]

Great job

[@Shakeelmalik294]

Wow that's awesome 👍

[@786otto]

Nice video

[@LilGiantsConstrCo]

Interesting video. Thanx for posting it. :) How many hrs on this loader at the time of the rebuild? So what's the ratio between re-used newly painted parts vs brand new? What's the cost savings to rebuilding vs purchasing new? 8 weeks duration, is that 320hrs billed time or more? Shop rate approx $110/hr?

[@Creative572]

Such a CooL video! Looks better than NEW ;)

[@shyamsundar-gs9gw]

Amazing ❤️

[@shivandookeran8317]

great job , wonder whats the man hours and price to rebuild one of these

[@JohnnyAnderson1]

Very awesome video! Thanks

[@حسامالمرسومي-ف9خ]

هذوله يستحقون كل الاحترام والتقدير

[@HUNDLEYGUY95]

Fair point haha. Sorry if i was a bit rude, was tired is all. And also from what i found doing this is 60% the cost of new.

[@mohammadezalden7824]

هاذا هو العمل الصحيح سلمت أياديكم

[@Mebob2001]

im sure this is cheeper to do then buying a new one, or it might be morie, but this one wouldnt have the emissions bullshit on it so its well worth rebuilding it!

[@Teezeboy]

Its cheaper to proform a cat certified rebuild. Also cat is getting rid of the problematic NRS System on there new engines.

[@BcDirtscooter]

@LilGiantsConstrCo To do a certified rebuild depending on if you use new parts or your old parts just rebuilt your price would be 50-60% of a new machine

[@راجہشکیل]

Very good

[@zaryadnik]

you change all used partes or only heavily worn parts? loader after the service looks like new

[@copperheadmarine]

That is correct Jon!

[@OFFICIAL_VIDEO_AWARDS]

Impressive!

[@avalon1rae]

Awesome

[@BOMBSHEll-by4si]

Тоже имею дело с двумя такими, и есть ещё третий САТ 988F , и приходится заниматься ремонтом в полевых условиях

[@aldebaldeb7467]

Very very nice 👍👆🚛🚛

[@DieselCrewMO-dz]

Amazing

[@mohammadezalden7824]

good job

[@franksweets1859]

Sehr schönes Video!

[@CowboyCarCrushing]

Do you think Johnny Cash could have built one these a piece at a time

[@robertdivany1627]

Jon davis..it wouldnt heve fitted in his lunch box ..

[@Maloy7800]

EIGHT WEEKS!? Was there a union strike or something?

[@tangydiesel1886]

I imagine they kept busy with all their other shop work while they waited on the final drives and trans to be shipped off, rebuilt, and brought back.

[@32_Ronin]

"oops guys we forgot one bolt somewhere"

[@richl9825]

No

[@bagpuss121]

Best One Is When The Vehicle Has Left The Workshop And The Apprentice Say To You , What Does This Bolt Do ...

[@irwandiesel1720]

ByNeets i think its a fuking moment... hahahaha

[@silent_bob_]

Where is the rag that I used to cover up the intake? Hmmmm...

[@axamen7787]

its still good. why did u rebuilt it.

[@HUNDLEYGUY95]

Google really is your friend. I found a used 1998 Cat 980G for sale for just short of $350,000. This is probably a lot less overall.

[@Teddy_Bass]

HUNDLEYGUY95 you can get one now for about 50K USD

[@richieuntaran8530]

Cat genset, cat heavy equipment the best and powerful engines

[@douglasluisnaestradaluis7521]

Parabéns equipamento fico zero novo Caterpillar e top

[@syabushcraft3417]

What they are not showing is all of the good parts going in the metal dumpster, just because they have a little ware. Don't think about dumpster diving because they made us take a torch and male the unusable.

[@janklement315]

I doubt they just throw them away they probably get rebuild

[@TheRealDodger]

it depends on the cost of rebuilding vs the cost of new. for instance, flat tappet camshafts and lifters are almost always replaced on these kinds of rebuilds but they are not thrown away because its cheaper to regrind them vs manufacturing new ones, but if the rocker are on a smaller engine like a 3406 is damaged out of cats spec, whether it be scratching or pitting, they are thrown away because the amount of labor and parts to rebuild them is more costly then buying new

[@AzzKicker-bz1cb]

@Dodger So why would it benefit anyone to dumpster dive for unusable parts??? It would seem more productive for CAT to send those things out to recycle instead of filling municipal landfills with metal and aluminum junk!

[@TheRealDodger]

@@AzzKicker-bz1cb musta missed the "metal" part of what he said, the parts do, at least at my shop, go into a scrap dumpster that goes to a recycling plant. And I actually misspoke, there are a lot of parts that do not get trashed like rocker arms and lifters, they actually have a core charge for them.

[@rabbit1612]

first how old was it. to put all that money in to it,

[@1topfueldrag]

What, if anything, was original that was rebuilt and reused?

[@paullovictor6096]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@bwarman]

So many Stackhouses in that first shot.

[@canaldorick1984]

Quanto custa e quanto tempo leva uma reforma dessas?? 🤔🤔

[@Niglo2Mort]

Magnifique 👍

[@johanmulderij6437]

at 2:18 the color is not the same??? I know cat paint in salt water is not going to work but land application good. did they wanna safe a doller!!! looks like it

[@balanthsbarkas118]

Nice work but the don't tell the cost of rebuilt

[@khaleelkhan5438]

I wonder how much would this cost to be done

[@donaldswink6259]

Wonder how much that had to cost.

[@itamarduarte3725]

Caterpillar na minha opinião têm os melhores equipamentos sem dúvida.👍

[@cgod241]

WILD

[@BcDirtscooter]

@stevesai The owner probably had some issues with the machine and decided instead of buyin new parts tht he would rather just spend the extra money to make the machine like brand new once again plus a cat certified rebuild is only 50-60% cost of buying a new machine

[@АлександрШумейко-э5ж]

Делал такому КПП, помогал менять ДВС, ремонт шарнира сочленения

[@enginkinat8128]

Maşallah maşallah

[@jacobweber9956]

So much better than a 980h

[@snubblaren]

Wich parts are being spared?

[@noahater5785]

that 980G prior to the rebuild looks like it got the heck abused out of it

[@worktrok09]

Is this Whayne in Evansville?

[@hermersonnnickel4184]

super machine

[@davidmartinezperez5283]

Una pasada¡ me encanta este tipo de trabajos... pero la factura me gustaria verla.... 100.000 euros o mas

[@suachecat]

Ecologic and cheap way to release new mchine. In times of finacial crisis and lack of raw materials, is bery good option. In rebuild time, the solution for the owner is use replacement machine. Very easy.

[@jaredbellmore]

JUST CURIOUS HOW MUCH IS ONE OF THESE AND HOW MUCH WOULD THE RESTORATION BE

[@Porty1119]

For a beat-up 980G with 30,000 hours on it, probably $35-50k depending on specifics.

[@frostbite1991]

Week 8 was a LOOOOOOONG week lol

[@astro1218]

why is there a bbq unter the front ?

[@adysdelicias1465]

50 mechanics and only 3 ever worked on it

[@cpcattin]

It's got a COP motor , COP tires, COP suspension, COP shocks and it runs on regular gas. Wha da ya say ?

[@RJ1999x]

Fix the lighter
