Really pleased to see and hear this old machine at work..I used to work for Caterpillar in Scotland in the 70's and 80's...and the D8H was the model we manufactured alongside tne D6C and the 977L Traxcavator.. We built the machines for Europe, Africa and the Middle East..this old D8H was almost certain to have been built at the American sister plant, can't remember which plant though..only 2 plants built it at the time, production was then transfered to Cat Brazil plant, and we began production of the D8K. This is old machine is in fantastic condition for its age..and sounds just perfect!!!

Poetry in motion! By the way this dozer is operated , so fluently, even people like me who occasionally get to play on 360's, can appreciate why good operators of D8's and its kind are so efficient - such craftsmen . All done by eye and feel, there seems no reason why that super maintained machine shouldn't be working in fifty years from now, given continued care and a good old school man (or woman) at the controls. Well done Cat ' for making it all possible

That's the way to run an 8! I'd stuff it in #2 and let it eat! It liked #2 better than #1 unless it was in a rough place and then it was #1 to take care if me and the tractor. Never wore ear plugs. Liked to hear it snort too well. Good old tractors! The one I ran had the pony motor start. Loved every minute of it!

My old boss had 3 old 3Ts dozers he used for anchors on his line machine sometimes. (Thats what they called them, not sure what they actually were). They pony motors on them. Had to try and get the ponys running to get the motors running cans of starting fluid etc. Middle of winter. When possible we would leave the blades up (old straight cable blades). And push start them. First time I drove one my orders were don't hit any trees as we drive through someone properrt to get to the site. And don't stall the dozer. And you'll never guess what I did.... that's right. I hit a tree and stalled the dozer. Tell you what, the men that ran those old dozers from the 1940s on steep grades logging were real men. We had a 17a that had the dozen levers to drive it. And I skidded logs with it from time to time when we needed the extra help. And man were your hands and feet busy. Separate forwards shifter gear shifter big clutch lever and spooling winch in and out and blade and steering. These guys running newer equipment don't know how they got it made. Anyway take care.

Meant to say, that Caterpillar donated one of the first engines ever built for this model, at Glasgow Plant in Scotland, the engine was originally built with cut away sections for the purpose of training their Apprentices, and is still displayed at Glasgow Transport Museum..I was involved in a number of jobs at various stages of production...enjoyed my 14 years there, before plant closure.
