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 D8 is one of the best sounding , & well kept old Cats I have ever seen. This operator is one of the best I have ever seen, Grant !!! no one could have taken that stump out any better than you did in this video, 1st time on a cat my ass, after years of running a cat I still have a hard time with the decelerator. it was like you were born on that Cat. Good Job Bud

Great to see a D8 operating at a speed higher than crawl. Especially in this easy to bulldoze ground. Hardly any rock, at least from what I can see. I was wishing you`d tackle that large stump,...but it didn`t take long to move that one. I only wish I could see more of this,. and also where the road is going beyond the camera. Thanks for this.

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.

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!!!
