D9G Governor Is Kaput

[@Lucky4wd4840]

WOW what equipment we would have without lawyer, bean counters and politicians!

[@TheZachLife]

"I like the old stuff" Lol I agree 100%

[@taloniilm]

I wonder if KT3406E can help ?

[@bcbloc02]

Worst case could hone the weight holes and rollers and make an oversized pin to take up the wear. 😁

[@Sircraig7963]

G'day Jeff,, Thanks for sharing another cool vid, Only a matter of time until we hear... Jeff wins again . Love how all the best YT channels were all mentioned too. Great minds think alike. Respect....!

[@dallasbaiton371]

Your friends on your channel may just be the best help that money can buy . Good to hear that there is help out there. Lots of experience out there and we hope they enjoy helping as much as we do watching .

[@richardlincoln8438]

It's remarkable that You were able to find as many parts through Cat as You did Jeff. A tip of the hat 🎩 to everyone that takes the time to help. Thanks for sharing all this and Best Wishes to You, Your Family and Friends. #110500

[@localcrew]

Usually if you need an obsolete Cat part they can provide specs and drawings so that you can potentially have it made.

[@johnwillis12454]

Take the wife and the parts you need, go to Australia and see Kurtis at Cutting Edge Engineering. He'll make them and you and the wife and Griffy get a vacation !😂

[@Dave-0523]

Jeff knows of Curtis, Homeless and George the bird.

[@jeffbrown3305]

Damn good idea no dramas from Kurtis

[@jefftheaussie2225]

Another exceptional fitter and machiner is Max Grant in Perth. The other side of the island but it would be a good trip. Lots of big trucks in Western Australia too. Jeff

[@kobusdutoitbosman6240]

…you sound a bit like an old steam engine this morn Jeff, coughing and puffin 😳⁉️ 🪖 🇿🇦

[@mischef18]

As always bro another great video, hope ya can get it sorted without too many ups n downs. Safe travels. Ken.

[@thomaspetroff9117]

Got to give her a little TLC once in awhile. If anyone can make her purr again it be You!! I'm sure you'll find parts. TGP

[@malcolmyarnold6172]

Keep up the good work mate love watching your videos you are a very knowledgeable bloke looking forward to seeing more of your work videos

[@richardlindgren529]

I want to hear more tall tales about jeff's childhood

[@rw3dog]

Good thing you took it apart . Looking forward to Part 2…

[@billmoran3812]

I know what you mean about not wanting to take something apart because parts might not be available. At least it’s a CAT. There’s at least the possibility of NOS parts or possibly aftermarket. I’ve been working on a 67 yr old Continental R-602 6 cylinder natural gas engine. Almost impossible to find anything for it. Even the vendor supplied items like starter etc are long out of production.

[@paulmanson253]

Just a completely out of the box suggestion. Some of the advertising here on YT was for an oddball spring wound starter design previously unknown to me. As in, wind up the spring,then trigger the release. Cant remember the brand name. Mebbe exploring Google would come up with that as a plan B,would a Coffman style unit fit your engine,planC,mebbe a planD is out there ?

[@rafidishak7801]

As the story goes ...cat needs to survive as well .big junck of its incomes comes from spare parts. good old days are gone for ever. Days that every component of the machine will last the lifetime of the machine are gone .as cat gets bigger and bigger, the overhead expensive gets bigger as well, and that is how it goes .it is not only caterpillar but every other equipment manufacturer out there..cat made their mark and reputation a long time ago and they capitalise on that ...

[@richardhoneywell7411]

Great video Jeff hopefully you can get the part's you need to fix the governor on your D9G.

[@halon7476]

Disposable world today. We were more environmentally friendly when stuff lasted longer.

[@rodchandlerii6922]

Who would have thought when you started the KZbin channel that it would have led to something so spectacular I absolutely love your channel what you do and the fact that you are in Idahoan

[@KurtBuddemeyer-td9si]

Low Sulphur diesel and less lubritricity, add some two stroke engine oil to the fuel

[@matkremzar5474]

Off road not applicable

[@dannyhill692]

Engineered obsolescence.

[@matthoward923]

That CAT will out live us all

[@jmew1922]

In 1978 I made 3 parts for a cat governor

[@vicchiapetta4166]

You sure do nice work, Jeff!! Great Video!!

[@Fatamus]

Goat Governor Guru G³ 😁👍 Good video🤣, LAMO when you kept squirting oil out of the governor 😁👍

[@kw900lkevin]

that radial seal on the air filter seems it isn't setting right or is it just the light hitting that way

[@terrymcdonald6500]

You will get it fixed , you don't give up easy !!!

[@JB-D8Ktv]

“You have to make them parts cheaper and have them last less time”. I believe you could have added “also charge more for the cheaper parts” Seems to be the way it is nowadays unfortunately. Good work on the old girl.

[@Dave-0523]

Damn burnt foot. Time for new Lariats.

[@hanshaw1974]

I agree, I have 04-07 Chevrolet products. Easy to fix and cheap to fix.

[@joellindsey419]

Iron king! Only does cat equipment,has KZbin channel

[@jamesb9564]

Couldn’t you get a machine shop to bore and make a new custom bush for that governor weight? Just a suggestion Jefferson 😂

[@colinkennedy8730]

Best luck with the parts Jeff

[@clydeacor1911]

I don't like taking apart anything that has lot's of small parts especially the small parts that have springs behind them.

[@stuartroland9605]

[@Planeiron]
