Ex military Cat D7G dozer service, repair and operation

[@leonardnicola7816]

I sure hope your boys know how blessed they are to have a father who is so willing to mentor them... Blessed indeed.

[@dansbrown1313]

Hello Leonard, that is a two way street these days. Clinton is darn lucky his sons want to work and learn something of value with him and not in their rooms playing foolish games with no value. Hunter could be a cat skinner down the road. :)

Big thumbs up. 👍

What a great learning experience! Hunter will look back some day and remember these days with dad in the shop learning the business! Great job Hunter impressed with you work ethic certainly not afraid of getting your hands dirty! Thanks for sharing the video!

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks for watching

Great job you 2. Fantastic to see dad giving his son some experience on equipment. Great job Dad. Don't see alot of this no more.

When I started at Cat in 1988 building TT in East Peoria, the factory space next door-Building X was Assembling these military d7's. The steering clutch brake controls coming from the dash is one of the easy ways to pick out the vintage. Building A, TT, X, W...All the original cat buildings from my youth have been torn down and a Target, Chick-fil-a, and strip mall sit on their foundations. My grandpa worked in building X on the shipping floor before and after world war 2. He signed up for the Marines in WW2 and requested to be in the CB's, but was put in a front line infantry squad on Guam. He later became an operator at the proving ground on Springfield road. Later he (they) moved it to its current site at Spring Creek road. The stories he would tell...

[@jaybailey8044]

I like the way you train the younger guys how to do these things to train them.

[@genegoodman5233]

I don’t think he could find a better teacher.

[@alkennedy1124]

This is how I learned too, except my dad told me what I needed to do and left me alone, to fix itand if I had a problem, he would help me with it, but from the first car /truck/tractor that worked on ,I taught myself and figured out how to fix it all on my own and before it was over I was teaching my dad how to do things and he was a professional world Mechanic pipefitter welder you name it he could do ,it he was the guy that would sit at the kitchen table with the Timex watch and fix the thing to get it accurately on time, so I love this ❤ thanks BigAl California

[@vinnyhern]

That's some good father & son quality time that most kids won't appreciate until later in life!

Yep I hope so

[@kevinknoff9809]

I never knew I was so dumb, till I started watch your videos. You guys are amazing.

Nice looks powerful alright I think someone is going to enjoy poaching dirt with that Dozer. I love the way you guys pay attention to every detail well done Bab 👍 👍

[@smitty9733]

Very hard to teach - even harder to teach a son -- the hardest thing though is to be the son trying even harder to please dad.. Super fun to watch it being done well.

[@texasproud3332]

Good video best part in my view is teaching the young generation I taught my son the same way on the job training now he is a master electrician and doing well

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Yes we have to it’s what’s wrong with the current generation

[@haroldmcgee6938]

You do a good job training your son. Your tell what needs to be done, oversee him doing it, help him as needed, tell him why things are important to do them the way you do, and you are Patient with him. Best of all, he wants to learn the right way to do things.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@aldimore]

Father Son time is always cool. You need to stress the need for hearing protection while he is young. I try to stress it with my kids since my ears started ringing a few years back.

Yep He is wearing ear plugs in video when driving

Had the opportunity to work with my father over summer break when I was in high school as a aviation mechanic apprentice. There is no replacement for the experience as seeing your parent as a real person rather than your parent. I would never give up that experience.

[@timmeloy9963]

I love how you’re teaching Hunter. I especially love his interest in the job. Great to see that!!

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@erkinard]

Your a great dad for taking the time to teach your sons. That’s something for you to be proud of !!! Keep them coming !!!

[@d.georgememory4745]

It's great to see that your son has an interest in the equipment, and is learning how to maintain them. I really respect the way you have the patience to show him how to do it right. There are so many correct steps in maintaining these, It's crazy to me, why someone would want to let a nice piece of equipment like this just run down. Thanks for the lessons once again.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks for watching

[@alkennedy1124]

I’m learning a ton on cats , question : I don’t know anything about my 4 cylinder cat grader, and some one took the pony motor away, and I would like to see it run oh , they only took the carburetor and related fuel, how I do ,,,😂thank , it has the engine but not the parts to make it run, thanks BigAl California

[@regsparkes6507]

Holy Moses, I almost missed this one, when it came out! Thanks ( NOT ) You Tube. This is just about an idea sized 'dozer for me to 'play' with. Good job in having the 'sticktoitiveness' Hunter, you have a pretty fair Teacher there, and believe it or not, a few years down the road in your life, you'll look back on this and smile with appreciation.

[@ringstinga]

Your son could not have a better teacher, Great to see father and son working together and Hunter seems to be very competent for his years.

I wish my dad taught me how to do this type of maintenance instead of building stone walls. Bravo from Victoria Australia

[@thouartit]

The greatest resource this country has, bar none, is our youth. Any and every young person should be encouraged and given sensible choices to train in the 'industrial arts' . Europe is light years ahead of us in this. This rarely happens and so many fall aside never being given an opportunity to develop their special interests, skills and intelligence. The back of my hand to schools who do not offer them a chance to learn and shine IN HIGH SCHOOL. C and C should be recognized for this.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Exactly I agree also We are gonna be in a world of hurt in a few years Already see it now

[@clintsessions5949]

That young man is getting a hands on education as good if not better then vocational school and getting paid! Luckily i was in the same situation growing up learning from all my mechanic uncles and cousins ! I still went to vocational school for mechanics but all the real learning gets done on the job from someone who is willing to show you the proper ways to geter done!

[@donalddehaven3229]

I certainly see the future boss being trained. He couldn’t have a better teacher and I think he’s got a pretty awesome dad. Love the channel.

[@geofferyshanen7758]

Wes, I wanted to thank you for the great content of your videos. I also wanted to tell you I love the way you mentor Hunter and the other young man. You are a stellar role model and teacher ! Keep it up you are making a difference in their lives they will benefit from for years to come.

Really enjoy watching these being worked on and being able to get your sons involved is a bonus.

[@mullerandre95]

Sure is awesome to see a father and son working on a machine together, what's the best is that they work like real men, no gloves. The haters will be on me for that but dilligaf. Been working on petrol and diesel for 30 +years now and don't glove up!

[@ProudPapaw88]

Great video guys. Hunter will always treasure the time he gets to work with you. Talk about a free education. He can always fall back on these days and know how and what needs done! My hats off to you Clint! Thanks for sharing!! Edit: Great job on the battery box. Who needs Caterpillar’s. lol

[@TheBlueberry606]

Well, Hunter is going to be a handy dandy shop tool with some learning. 🤣

[@davidpayne2880]

Hunter is learning that there is satisfaction in doing it right and the customer service will pay off in the long run. He will not have to back in to get his paycheck.

[@ernestcano2442]

Looks like you got a good deal on the D7 Military Cat. I seen the first video when you got it started the first time. Now it's sounding and looking good mechanically. It's an awesome dozer. You do great restoration work.

[@rottiman100]

Great job on that solid old kitty kat Clinton. Hunter is going to make a great mechanic.

What a great experience for Hunter and you passing along your expertise, warms my heart to see the two of working together. 👍

I like how you're teaching your sons all the trades that you're teaching them and the patients that you have with them they're going to be good mechanics and good men someday

[@derekbrownson7430]

Great job Hunter!! You follow your dad's direction well. You are lucky to have such a good teacher.

When I was a young man in the military over 50 years ago,was in heavy transport co,we would move those D7 dozers for the engineers, but back then they had 2 seats and 2 sets of controls so if one guy got hit the other could take over! My how times have changed

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Wow

[@george8873]

Great video. Really looks like Hunter enjoys working on the equipment with you and is willing to take advice.

[@bryansieberdozerservice1656]

That's awsome seeing you teach your son how to work on the equipment. Teach him on those old cats because they will still be around for a long time and need the next generation to know how to work on them. Thanks for awsome video

[@wrstew1272]

Suggestion- a valuable teaching option is to have your boy use a properly sized torque wrench to get the feel for different size fasteners. All the standard size bolts and nuts on routine fasteners. Correct ratings, then shear points. I learned that the hard way, easy outs are great, but not needing them is much more better. You have to be proud than he is in there learning the trade!

[@brendenbrewer2956]

Good job Hunter nice and calm by the teacher the young fella will pick it up and take it all in, Well done dad. the way it's done . cheer's from Aus.

[@cdouglas1942]

I got to help my Dad at work too...washing test tubes in a science lab. Cleaner than what Hunter is doing but not near as much pure fun as driving a bulldozer.

[@nyquistsenior2634]

Great job with Hunter, Clint...Hunter you are going places young man!

[@Crewsy]

With Hunter taking an interest in working with you I think the future of C&C Trailer is in good hands. 😆 Seriously though it's great to see someone his age taking an interest in something that gets his hands dirty and having someone like yourself providing the opportunity to learn without getting upset while teaching.

[@slipknot7424]

Someday you’ll be sitting back in your comfy shop chair watching your boys run the business you built with a huge smile on your face and it will be well deserved. Great video. 👍🏻🇺🇸

[@greggb1416]

For some reason, I just don’t see Clinton in that comfy/easy chair…, at least not till he is in his 90’s…, and even then I doubt it… hahaha…!

[@roybrown6831]

Another great video, Clint. Cool to see you and Hunter working together on stuff. It reminds me of days gone by when my dad had a dozer with a backhoe. Only I never got up the guts to ask Dad to drive it.

[@jeptj5442]

Its nice to see a dad teaching his son how to fits things And nice seeing Hunter there learning a good trade

[@michaelcolgan3182]

I recall larger companies buying up parts from other companies that went under. I was in the auto parts business they tried to push that auction stuff into the supply line I would send it back . They would cross reference the part number and sell it as their own brand. I have been using Fram filters for 55 years on my cars . My bus company used them we never lost a engine due to a failure

[@dennisryan7487]

Good Job Hunter! Oh, you too Clint!

Screw a pipe nipple in the oil pan before you open the valve. Extend it below the belly pan and you will not make a mess and you can do it from the bottom and stay clean. Cats rule good job
