How many OLD BULLDOZERS do we need to clean out a pond??

[@dieseJL]

I think my favorite part was TD20E vs. stump #1. Man that thing sings. What was yours?

[@gregreinhardt1293]

TD20 vs. the tree. and yes, that thing sings!

[@dirtleg13]

I love how all these dozers were essentially scrap but in reality they are far from it. So crazy to me how wasteful we are as a society. Good to see you working them.

[@W8iHav2P]

In a "they function" way they're not scrap but to any company they're essentially scrap because they just can't be used profitably on production jobs.

[@dieseJL]

Yeah I mean if you don’t work them they’ll end up just how they were!

[@NAMCBEO]

@@dieseJL You and W8iHav2p, hit on a subject soap box for me ! We little guy customers in need do not count any more ! Like Banks do not want to loan money for less than millions, even the small excavation companies do not want to do less than $80 - 100 k jobs in a way they have priced themselves out of a market ! In my day we did jobs that made a little profit, which is better than "No profit," my point is, this is laziness that does not serve all society.

[@dking9721]

It's enjoyable to watch you get to run the dozers you work so hard on. Father and son moving some dirt. Good for you. 🙂

Good idea!

[@dennis82468]

Thanks for sharing

[@michaelvollmer9491]

I think that the Iiebherr is an apropriate machine for your belongings. Tension up the tracks and gain more experiance how to operate this dozer. You will be satisfied

[@dieseJL]

I agree. We have already started the next round of repairs on it!

[@Doitgood52]

Those weeds are filtering and cleaning the water. Providing habitat for aquatic life which is crucial for maintaining water quality.

[@yanicks9040]

At least around here those grow back like crazy, we have a pond where we cut down 80% every autumn when it is completely full of them and less than a year later its back to the same again. You have to get rid of it or it will sink to the bottom and start creating these muddy deposits and lowering oxygen saturation until it eventually "tips over".

[@Diglo1]

Some engines are just bad starters due to lower compression ration. Better for higher power, but bad for starting. Valves can leak causing some compression to be lost, lapping them can help and you can even grind the seats with cheap tool from china. Sure they are not perfect, but I have had great success with them. Valves can be ground using a bench grinder and home made setup for the correct angle and just hand drill. But lapping is also ok if the seats are not too pitted. Now if after that you still have bad starting, then it is most likely bad rings or worn out bore / both.

[@mikesmith8952]

Your father was doing a great job running the trac hoe for a beginner. The more time he spent playing with it the better he became, IMPO!😊 The main reason you got the Dozer stuck was because you went blade first down the slope on the hill. Had you come from a better direction I doubt you would have had any issues. I do wonder why you seemed worried about getting the trac hoe stuck with Dozers to free it? Lastly trees can be used to make temporary Mats to support the tracks. You'd need a minimum of two to move around. The pond turned out awesome and dad had Fun while getting a ton of work done. I think I'd have paid to help run the machines as I took like having fun while I work 😂😂. Merry Christmas and Happy New year from Minnesota 🎉🎉🎉. 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯⭐

Awesome video but I got 2 weeks off of work for the holidays and this was wayyyyy to close to what I do 50 weeks out of the year 😂😂 fight with water fight with pumps fight with mud then try to make it look nice , oh yeah and as soon as the leaf start falling fight to race the freeze !!! You guys did a great job and you own almost all the equipment so I would consider it a big win!!! I think dad would be shocked at a long reach rental price i know I am everytime we get one.

[@dieseJL]

Yeah he got a price before we rented the doosan… that’s why it wasn’t a long reach lol

[@dirkduhaime5327]

I like that little dozer. I would not mind finding one of those. I could get one of those running.

[@mikesmith8952]

Injector pumps can easily leak fuel into the engine's oil pan. The seal on the shaft I think is what fails, sometimes rather quickly. Talk to Area diesel for their opinion.😊

[@dieseJL]

Yeah we will dive into it soon. I am not sure it is getting fuel in the oil I have to make sure that is the case first

[@prestonsousa5978]

After watching more of it , if you still have the power pan you should use it , beats having excavator put buckets of dirt in front of dozer.

Yeah we wanted too but material was soft and we didn’t have much space

90 percent of the time when diesel is found in the oil, it's usally a bad shaft seal in front of the injection pump is leaking into the oil. Merry Chrismas and you guy's have a ''Happy New'' too...

Maybe you guys needed a heavy skid loader. They can move a lot of stuff fast an leave a really good graded finish. Especially in the sometimes very limited area you are working in. You aren't removing a deep amount of material either. Just a thought. The right tool for the right job. Right?

👍👍👍have got a mid eighties 20E over here... it's currently been in layup for the past 12 year's or so.. because of various issues, including fuel in the engine lube oil... which is coming from the injection line under the valve cover.. which fastens to connector fitting through head to the injector... if u pull the valve cover and run engine you'll see what i mean... perhaps you've already found thr issue..i couldn't ever get it to quit,.. perhaps sll it needs is a replacement or lapping or something...i tried various methods that I can't quite recall..🤣... The engine has got other problems that finally forced me to park the machine...lastly the starter which is a complete pain in the ass to get to...V8 diesel engines don't belong in bulldozers...or anything in my opinion,which no one cares about that,but anyway,the 20E is gonna get a 6 cylinder swap...once all the parts are gathered..nice project you feller's got there.. thanks for another video.. take care 👍👍👊

Between what you have dozer wise and the pan you should be able to get it . You may as well make it as deep as you can for drought periods of time. Your old excavator just find a 471 or v6-71. Boats an Harbour yellow sheet has plenty of older engines. You could be in my shape. My dealership has my tractor with a defective throttle posioner. Back ordered till 2025 an my machine is a 2024. My backhoe is to big for it. Older machines will out last new ones . The biggest reason is computers
