My dad used to take me to work with him in the summertime. I learned how start and run these old cable rigs at an early age. Everything was cable back in the 50’s and early 60’s. I started working on the pipelines in 1964. It was in the early 70’s before getting into Local #12 in Southern California. In the 70’s I spent hours and hours pioneering and building right a ways and doing back filling and dress up work on an old Cat D-7 46-A and a cat D-8 15-A. It was amazing when the company that I worked for started buying hydraulic equipment. It was so nice to pull or push a lever to change blade angles and positions. No more jumping off and muscleling those heavy awkward blades around.😂😅🤣 I loved kicking those pony motors in gear and watching those huge smoke rings shoot up into the air and listening to the awesome sound of those mains taking off on a cold morning in northern Utah. Those were good days. I worked in that field for 50 years before hanging it up. Thank you for making these wonderful videos bringing back those wonderful memories.

[@bruceandrews8835]

Quick story about D8H's, in 1967 Vietnam we were using these machines to help lay down Marston Mat (commonly known as PSP planking to build temporary runways. We would air drop them from C-130 Aircraft at heights up to 10', they survived, most of the time.

[@proberts34]

Yeah, something that heavy (~50,000 lbs, ~22,700 kg) needs a LAPES drop, a tried and true technique for delivering particularly heavy loads to a very specific area. For those mildly interested, look around for LAPES (low altitude parachute extraction system) drop. It's a fascinating, if potentially dangerous, procedure. For example, the tragedy at Ft. Bragg in 1987 was caused by the pilot coming in too steep and leveling off too late, which caused the C130 to hit the ground mid-procedure. Believe it or not, the C130 probably could have recovered from that on its own (such magnificent aircraft). But then the load was extracted and the aircraft's center-of-gravity shifted enormously, the pilot couldn't recover the aircraft, and it crashed into the trees.

That turbo may be on its last leg, but it sounds amazing and my dog is pissed. Also I knew the ponies shared coolant to warm up the diesel. Didn't know the exhaust also heated the intake.

[@michaelhertwig4528]

Great fun. I bought a 1939 D4 with putt motor in 1987. Still runs no problem in 2023. Putt motors were designed to warm up the diesel engine in cold climates because the two share the same coolant system. Even up here in Canada you can start the machine in winter.

[@claudehebert3131]

What amazes me is the steering clutch is working fine after all those years. My father's TD-5 would have had it's fiber plates stuck to the steel plates in the steering clutch packs after less than a year. He would have had to take his time in order to loosen them up, by putting the dozer in gear, pulling on the sticks, and delicately slipping the clutch and "feeling" it grab, pressing the clutch back to the floor and trying again until they came loose. If he didn't do this, the fiber disks would have been ripped out of the inner drum. I remember when once we had to open the back of the dozer to extract and repair the fiber discs. My father was an owner-operator at a lumber camp in the 60's. He quit, but kept the dozer on the farm, after he married my mother. I learned to drive this machine at the tender age of 12.

[@onesadtech]

What an absolute unit! Can't wait to see the restoration on this! I was thinking that design with the pony exhaust going through the diesel intake was dumb, but then I realized the pony motor's exhaust would be pre-heating the diesels air when working correctly, which is genius! I guess that is another reason to get the pony working over an electric conversion.

[@DieselCreek]

That’s the goal!

[@about2mount]

Diesel fuel explodes at 32psi of vacuum or positive pressure. It could care less if it has oxygen or c02, however having hot exhaust gas is far superior to that from glow plugs which at that time were not invented yet. Lol Desiel engines still need air but the air filter on this old d8 cat is stopped up.
