I bought another non running Cat D7F dozer at auction… does it run and move? Will my gamble pay out?

I bought another Cat D7F this time I had never seen it run or move. Hopefully we can get it running. We also double check some other items I bought

Really enjoy seeing old equipment brought back. Awesome job❤❤❤❤❤

[@bullittdog4352]

Gotta love auctioneers with phantom bidders running up the prices ..they’re only slightly less scummy than politicians! That Cat might be a cream puff .

[@bladesofglorylawns]

Your the master of stuff that ain’t running I’ve found out, and as Matt from diesel creek says, little either bunny never hurt anyone 😂

[@darrylhauswald8956]

My son and I farm at Corydon. Our u tube Chanel is hauswald farms. I’ve had knee replacement and have had lots of time to watch your U Tube channel. You amaze me on your ability to bring an older machine back to life that be of service to many people. I watch your auction videos and learn so much. We have a decent fleet of construction Equiptment that we use on our farm. Apparently you have Ben vey successful. Nice shop and the tools you use to accomplish the hardest task. Like your Pete. Along with your helpers.once again thanks for sharing your knowledge to me and many others

[@chuckgulledge2304]

Good videos. Appreciate your time to share them with us

[@johnrobinson7681]

Keep up the good work. Love watching the variety of machinery that u work on.

[@rhondasweeney7271]

Awesome buys! thank you for taking us along on your journey

[@garyriggins3354]

Love it when you say not running and a twist of the wrench and good to go. 👍👍👍👍

[@wendyandjodymaillet7503]

Clint, you are headed to the house with some awesome equipment! Take care and safe travels. I’ll see y’all on the next one…

[@shanemcdonald6700]

Another great video.What a relief when the ole Cat D7 fired up.

[@brentking-gmailking2570]

Good video Clint. Congratulations on finding all those good machines to work on. Have a great day and stay safe.

[@josephkessinger5973]

Thanks for sharing the time at the Auction.

[@robertsimmons3556]

Good update/post! Looks like you guys had fun!!

[@kristinejackson8268]

You had a good haul this time around especially that dozer that fired right up.

[@rugerfarming5387]

Looks like some nice stuff you bought buddy. Hope all is good. Stay safe.

[@thomasrennison9461]

Awesome videos, glad you know all the “crooked” tricks at the auctions. It’s sad that thieves are all around us.

[@mrbill8542]

Dozer looks like a good find-cant wait for the follow up on it !!

[@barrybickle7992]

Thanks for taking us to the auction. Brings back old memories of the 60’s when I worked for a company the conducted those auctions all over the country. They sold out to Riches brothers.

[@carloskawasaki656]

Awesome the tour in auction, thank you 😉

[@philliptennis3537]

Great video Clint. Glad they all started up, visually, don't look that bad. Hopefully yall don't find any surprises!

[@smileywilson9972]

❤all the auction videos see the big old kitten 🐈‍⬛ is a beast can’t wait for more

[@busterbailey370]

Another great video thank you keep them coming please

[@danb1059]

Wow, You and Mrs Clint made quite a haul! Congratulations!

[@andrewruble7706]

Nice auction for the business Clint! Bummer some jackwagon took the fuel cap. Hope all the equipment works out. Looking forward to seeing it in the shop as you go through it.

[@davidcokley1929]

Hey Clinton, Looks like you're going home with some nice equipment from this auction. That old D7F is a beast! Once you got it going, it just purred like a kitten. BY the time you go through it and make sure everything's OK, it will make someone a damn nice dozer. Looking forward to watching the next video.

[@johnscheffler1514]

Glad it started and moved. Looks like a good haul 👌

[@rjbrown6942]

Good stuff. Reminds me of my grandfather he was a gritty old Water well driller always bought American made products. Didn't understand back then but I sure do now.

[@davidt8145]

Between you and DP and Chris, I'm now going to be looking at local auctions for equipment, mainly due to price of new I can't afford it or justify the purchase, plus, older things I can actually learn to work on and fix them. One thing with your channel has given a lot of knowledge of older machines, and for smaller operations like myself... older is smarter and cheaper to deal with. Thanks for the vids, and auction vids so I can learn what to be looking for. Appreciate it kind sir!

[@Zerostar369]

Heck ya brother! I hope these machines bring you lots of profit for continued success of your business and family. Great channel! Lets get that 4k footage going!

[@kanointhephilippines8082]

That tractor brings back memories! Countless hours of stick time in that same machine as an Army engineer deployed using "seabee" equipment in the far Western pacific building roads in Micronesia in the early 80's. Hard work, long days but so worth it. Thanks for posting, take care and God bless.

[@scottdrenske830]

What a lovely wife you have. Saw her vidieo other day. Funny lady you got. Made me laugh.

[@tedcoombs9258]

Looking forward to see all this equipment arrive back at your home!

[@Jimmyfisher121]

Nice Mrs and Mr Clinton, Glad everything worked for you, I enjoyed the auctions nice change but prefer the workshop videos, cant wait to see what you come up with Bridget should be fun.

[@bladewiper]

The auction videos are my favorite. The old cat looks like it might be a good rig.

[@michaelmullins1290]

Glad the D7 cranked and run. Be nice to see you hit a few outta the park where you had to double rebuild the dozer engine.

[@refiii9499]

Nice score Clint! Some really nice equipment going home.

[@scottharbaugh4078]

good looking pieces ya bought down there. Good god you must of spent a good hunk of change down there. bet that took some zeros outta the bank account. Absolutely love your channel. wish i;d gotten into this business years ago.

[@user-kr9mh5oi1q]

JUST LIKE NEW only used on sundays...LOVE IT that little roller is Awesome. Always take duct tape to any auction

[@bubbagreensmith7174]

Just started watching this. Hope it’s a good machine for you Clint!!!

Looks like you did very well. Congrats. Thanks for sharing.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks for watching!

[@MidwestToolReview]

This is one of my favorite channels on KZbin!!! Always interested in seeing what you’re buying at auction!! Find me an old skid steer that needs work, and is cheap!!!

[@danielshaha1457]

Always enjoy your videos. Take care

[@shootersoptiontargets]

Awesome video but we need an update on the elk statue!🤔 Really enjoy you guy's letting us tag along. I'm sure the stress level is non stop jumping from auction to auction but you fine folks handle it well. I remember being down there for fun with Dirt Perfect and it was some what stressful but we learned a lot.🤣🤣

[@glynngrauer3962]

Clint you have got yourself some nice machines at this auction great job

[@donmunro144]

What a sweet find that dozer is. A little tlc and she's ready to work.

[@shaunwebster1953]

I really like your channel. I feel like you fix everything that you sell as if you were keeping it for yourself. That’s rare nowadays with sellers trying to save every penny they can because of the state of the economy. Keep the videos coming.

[@phillipdean9879]

Thoroughly enjoyed it Clinton! Amazed at how much gear is for sale! Looks like you got some nice equipment. Hand would have been shaking writing that cheque! You shoulda got Kevin a jumping castle! 🇦🇺🍺🍺

[@JohnRobbfl]

Nice to have some decent inventory compared to last year.

[@barryodell9537]

I like seeing the old cats running, they are simple , no electronics!

[@joeyvirts1600]

That was a pretty good haul you picked up this time.

[@roncj6937]

[@thomasyerbey337]

Another great video Clint always enjoy all your videos 🇺🇸

[@refiii9499]

[@MissionaryForMexico]

You are absolutely right!

[@tolber6]

So excited that mrgunsandgear is with you! Hell yea!

[@ronpeacock9939]

A few nice ones this year. That D7, DP did say he saw it running.. hard to run them on empty tanks though. Looks a bit like a diamond not quite in the rough. I'm sure you've already teased LD18 about needing another Cat or two for his collection.. 🙂

[@iamrichrocker]

what a juggling act..and behind every good Man, is his Wife..handles money and a sounding board of reason in this expensive business..plus good skilled workers..

[@mrsclinton]

It definitely takes the whole team. Thanks 😉

[@wirenut003]

Clint can buy very well, all top looking and working, great channel to follow.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks 👍

[@johncoleman1447]

Hi from New Zealand, yes Clint is an amazing person, and the work. I love older Cats. You don't need all the computer crap to run a machine. The computer is just there to cause more problems.

[@teddycrenshaw223]

Those old Cat dozers are so tough and reliable. They last a long time if they have been half way taken care of.

[@errolorticke5573]

I'll be in touch! Going to purchase a skid steer...

[@joseortaliz4473]

you got one of them good fuel cans! last one i bought takes a 2 week school to use, and I still had to order a nozel I could get to work.

[@rp1645]

Thank you for the video. That CAT D-7 is a beast Love how the Military had those. The only problem was they needed a smaller Dozer to smooth out the Biv-wack sites the D-7 was too big, just like the Army always does. Have Beast's to do the work. Just like are Petty-Bone fork lifts Soo, Soo, big for just lifting pallets.

[@greggb1416]

Well sir, was kinda surprised at hearing you bought the D7 as “in-op”….., but figured you had some suspicion(s) that it could be made to run…, but I was also fingers crossed watching the start-up, and was thrilled when she fired off…. Awesome…! I am always amazed at the “stuff” people steal and amazed at the story behind the roller bidding…, I kinda gathered that if you had contested it., they wouldn’t have let you back in to their future auctions..? Great video, Thank you sir.

[@engineer_07-present14]

Great video. A working vacation.

[@cityguyinthecountry]

This is why I subscribe!

[@randyclyde4939]

Great fun, another auction! Looks like you did extremely well, very happy for you and your operation! Congrats! Be well, be safe!

[@greggdsurf]

Nothing better than an old diesel… so perfect

[@doclull1989]

Hey Clint!! That old D7 is going to make someone a nice dozer.

[@localcrew]

Larry has an ex-Navy D7F but it’s configured a bit different. No throttle lever. It’s all in the decel pedal. The fuel primer pump sits vertically. His is a real peach. I think it has 1600 hours and original undercarriage. Manufactured in 1973. I was using it today, as a matter of fact. We use it to pull out the TD15B when it’s buried in the muck. Speaking of which, I need cutting edge and end bits for that machine. Guess I better call Clinton!

[@91rss]

when looking at a item, pull the dipstick and pinch the oil, If its sticky, its laced with STP, then put a lighter to it, If the oil spits, there is antifreeze in it.

[@tujuprojects]

Having a late morning coffee here in Estonia. Interesting video.

[@randydobson1863]

hello clint its is randy and i like u video is cool and cat d7f doze is best dozer and super cool and good lock c&c equpiment and thanks c&c equipment friends randy

[@mikeembrey9176]

[@beelerfamilyfarm]

Lol i use a golf cart for service work on a combine, air seeder, so handy!!

[@Fatamus]

Nice video …a bit short but if I want a longer one I can make it myself. 😊 Doctor let me go. I’m hitting the ground a running 🏃‍♀️ … well more like I’m softly climbing down and walking softly and carrying a big stick. 😊 Oh Kevin is going to fall in love with 😍 one of those Cat 313F ‘s excavations. He a lot like me still just a kid at 700 years old. 😊
