those old cats have such a nice sound hopefully one day I will have one

[@truckcaretv8649]

Good job

[@keithwarkentin]

I really enjoyed it thanks Geoffrey it’s not always easy to keep a fleet of heavy equipment operational but your managing! I would be really happy if someone who loves equipment would come along and apprentice under you so you could get a little help and would keep it alive long after we are gone 😀🇨🇦

[@oldamericaniron5767]

Thankyou, There are a few interested young people and the old equipment will live on.

[@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE]

Awesome Geoffrey! 😁👍 Glad to see you got it running and moving under it's own power! What a beastly looking machine. Enjoyed the video my friend. Be safe and happy wrenching 🔧🔩

[@austinhenry7626]

Sure appreciate you and your equipment! Thanks again!

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Well done again mate. This old girl would be more than welcome here at my place. An expensive machine here in New South Wales, for a bloke on wage’s anyway.

[@oldamericaniron5767]

Here they are pretty much scrap value. There are a lot of them and too expensive to move for most people.

[@RustyInventions-wz6ir]

Oh. What a lovely crawler. Love your channel. Thanks

[@pete-mate3524]

Awesome video, Geoffrey!! That motor sounds beautiful.

[@oldamericaniron5767]

It will sound better under a load at the show!

[@geraldingram9351]

[@NatureBackyard]

Amazing 🥰🥰

[@Nick-nw6zg]

My knees hurt just watching him first thing I would do is invest in those shin and knee guards that the catchers were in the major leagues. Hell yeah🤨🤘🏼‼️😆

[@tttco]

Absolutely great video!! So awesome. That cat looks in good shape. The undercarriage seemed to have lots of life left in it. Hydraulic blade so it’s a bit “newer”. Thanks for posting!!!

[@oldamericaniron5767]

Thanks for watching. It’s a LaPlant-Choate blade. Hydraulic doesn’t necessarily mean newer. There were suppliers of hydraulic blades back in the 30s, maybe even in the 20s. It was more a matter of preference of what customer wanted.

[@kobusdutoitbosman6240]

Man I appreciate you showing us your D7 ! I enjoyed watching the video! Sounds great! What year ?

[@oldamericaniron5767]

Thankyou, glad you enjoyed it. I don’t know the year but will be finding out and I’m sure I’ll have more video of it at the Badger Steam and Gas Engine Club show next week.

Being stubborn is it

[@oldamericaniron5767]

Not really, just have to limber it up a little after a 2 year rest.
