I learned a lot about the cat clutch configuration from hell Xena deserves a lot of respect now working 3 jobs and more all while a little under the weather 🤮 great video

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes working on caterpillar means a lot of booze to get through the project, lol thansk

[@BarnesFreighters]

Thank you. Xena

[@kennethsonier1766]

Good morning from Cape Cod 🦈 I've done a few clutches in my day that were actually enjoyable compared to what you just videoed and shared with us, holy crap! We don't want to watch you video your demise, even though it might go viral 😉 you've got a good friend in Sir Rodney, the length that he goes through to source parts is amazing. That was a very nice gift from a follower, And travel to the end of the world to deliver to you. There are still good people, it gives me some hope. Get some rest and get well this weekend Xena. Looking forward to the installation tomorrow. 👍✌️🇺🇲

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes we try and keep the videos family friending and all about learning. working on a caterpillar cat is not easy and i hope others watching do not give up on their projects. when people give up on projects they end up going for scrap. oh well thansk

[@SirRodney515]

Yes thank you

[@jameswitkowski6736]

Excellent job building the clutch , and your correct , they are heavy . thanks for keepin it real .... !!!

[@kingofobsolete4789]

Such a beautiful day in paradise have a drink

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes will do thansk

[@lolMyke]

No snow here in southern Ontario! Rain and mud. Tired of it! Started watching you daily recently, electrician in southern Ontario. I’ll be collecting useful bits and bobs I remove to ship to the kingdom later this year.

[@kingofobsolete4789]

thank you for joining us having fun. no snow is not good. thansk

[@tonyjones9715]

Brill joey love from scotland 👍👍

[@kingofobsolete4789]

excellent, we might have to get a flag of Scotland. thansk

[@TruthProvider]

Oh man, that cat is a pain to work on. The clutch assembly is a nightmare. When it gets to the point that it's easier to take the engine out, then you just know this beast wasn't designed to be easily worked on. Oh well, have another drink! 😉

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes and also popping the motor out i will be fixing and cleaning other things too thansk

[@rickhewitt9529]

Joey. I used to wear ski doo boot liners when I was coming from new liskerard to to the warm south with loads of lumber. I spent so time on the side of the road fixing things I lost money every day.😂

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes but you have the memories. thansk

[@jamiebowman9077]

That is what makes him the best of the best have a bunch of drinks

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes and don't give even if you have been over served, lol thansk

[@joutdoorsmen23]

Wow what great job on clutch, and awesome goodies too, I pray Xena gets better soon, enjoy till tomorrow

[@kingofobsolete4789]

thank you, hopefully get the clutch done today, lol thansk

[@Lens-KeepingBusy]

Second, having some beers, had a puff, 👍👍🇨🇦🚜

[@kingofobsolete4789]

excellent thansk

[@berniebuker1650]

Couldn’t imagine having to drive four hours to hit a Walmart. Must take a lot of planning. You wouldn’t want to forget something. Lol. Won’t be long now and that cat will be running. Thanks for the video

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes living remote is all about planning and hoping for the best thansk

[@JohnShinn1960]

Stayin tuned! 👍🤠

[@kingofobsolete4789]

me too thansk

[@littlepaddy7444]

Nice walk through on the clutch assembly Joey. Lucky Sir Rodney knows how to get aftermarket parts and materials. The OEM's are only interested in selling new machinery. Keep up the good work Xena, your exposure to all the school germs will bolster your immunity. Sir Rodney could you show us around your relining department? Good luck fishing. Thanks see ya tomorrow.

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes these videos are to show it is not easy and don't give up, just have more beverage, lol thansk

[@SirRodney515]

Yes of course

[@LarryDeSilva64]

That cat is a royal pain to work on. That is real work to get everything lined up and not slip out of position. Get well soon Xena that's the down side working at the school. Thanks for the video. What would you guys do without Sir Rodney and Johnny.

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes next time i will just pop the motor out because it will be a lot easier, lol thansk

[@SirRodney515]

Excellent ty

[@sksx9269]

Well done King, looking forward to the next episode. Salute to Ray, R for doing what we followers would, if the money tree blossom. Finally well done to Xena for helping the community and her immunity, like royalties take a little time to feel the benefit, at some point, you won't get sick. SK in the UK

[@kingofobsolete4789]

thank you, it is nice to get gifts in the Kingdom which mean alot from the Kingdom Followers. thansk

[@dave-uf8ir]

Kudos xzena feel better soon

[@BarnesFreighters]

Thank you. Xena

[@dave-uf8ir]

Excellent

[@offtheclaim1468]

Saw one of the biggest wolves I've ever seen right there many years ago...and some amazing Northern lights at Rat River...stay warm guys

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes they are called timberwolfs up here. thansk

[@dave-uf8ir]

4th maybe Santa just keeps coming excellent cheers 🥂 guys 😊

[@kingofobsolete4789]

oh my thansk

[@andydubois8411]

Xena, the kids get herded together so they pass the colds around, Get some vitaminC. Joey, the guys who built these clutches probably had clamps or jigs built into a bench, I'm guessing. Staying tuned😎

[@kingofobsolete4789]

oh yes more specialty tools by caterpillar to work on them thansk

[@BarnesFreighters]

Yes, thank you. Figured it was from the kids at school, was only a matter of time before I got sick… again Xena

[@jimdorman1550]

I call that a throw out bearing. Try Springfield Clutch and Gear. Springfield mo.

[@kingofobsolete4789]

ok, will pass it on to Sir Rodney thansk

[@danthompson1467]

A lot of work 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@kingofobsolete4789]

oh yes and lots of beverage too thansk

[@dalesuhre6522]

I prefer the flux core wire to solid wire and gas for the reason you mentioned 11:18 plus you can weld in some wind and still have good welds.

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes that is what we are learning which is working out nice thansk

[@rickhewitt9529]

Also tell Xena, kiddie germs are killers. As adults we can't handle them.

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes that is true thansk

[@BarnesFreighters]

Yes, thank you. I’ll be better in no time. I’m always sick. It was gonna happen sooner or later. Xena

[@rickhewitt9529]

@@BarnesFreighters all good wishes back to you too. Get well soon.

[@sergeant-d8714]

It must be nice to be a world famous star and have people send you gifts from afar oh Joey how you suffer.😅😅

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes gifts are very nice to receive in the Kingdom at the end of the world, lol thansk

[@johnwinden8511]

Marshmallows in a piggy bank, that’s pretty dang funny Joey. Is that anything like putting Sox on a rooster? 🤭

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes when drink i say funny things, lol thansk

[@38365chevelless]

KOO, FYI, There is a special Instruction booklet on the Caterpillar D6 9u oil clutch , Caterpillar form # 137- 30731-2, I have one for a Cat #12 , but it’s different , cheers Ken

[@kingofobsolete4789]

thank you, will check it out after all these years. thansk

[@liljoeii6091]

You have one busy day thank you for the video

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes can't sit still at my age, lol thansk

[@jimdorman1550]

And tell them, I sent you! Hahaha

[@kingofobsolete4789]

will do thansk

[@HermanMunster-o2j]

"This is where I film my collapse" lmfao! If u drink more beer u get beer muscles and u don't need help😂😂😂😂😂

[@kingofobsolete4789]

oh yes, great for ratings, lol thansk

[@claudenormandeau9211]

King, did you video at the time when you lifted the cat out of the lake?

[@kingofobsolete4789]

no, filming was hard back then thansk

[@kingofobsolete4789]

thansk

[@matthewnasci2646]

I'm right with you on poor design complaints. Whenever I'm doing mechanical work it seems like there's always a reason to scratch my head about it. Engineers seem to exclude the mechanics when they create components.

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes that is so true and engineers look down on mechanics as the lower class. but it is the mechanics that keep their poor designs going. thansk

[@wilmamcdermott3065]

Joey I use general gear in Boise Idaho

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes me too thansk

[@mop1081]

What do you drive when you have to make 3-400 kms now that the Bookburban is gone?

[@kingofobsolete4789]

we are hoping to get the 67 chevy film truck up and going because there are no computers. thansk

[@edmcelhone4501]

i think fiber disk for dry clutch brass is for oil clutch

[@kingofobsolete4789]

not really sure, i lucked out with all 4 of my d6 cats having oil clutches. thansk

[@haroldwilkerson2026]

Are you a good enough welder that if I cut a Ford big block 460 into pieces to make it cheaper to ship that you could weld it back together and put it in the crane cat😂😂

[@kingofobsolete4789]

no, it would take too much beverage to weld it back together. i will be putting an order in for 3 more gas motors from Graves Tractor Salvage to get the last 3 IH cats up and going thansk

[@juanlabayen4106]

Great videos! Im trying to repair the clutch booster. I need to replace seals, dont you have a video about that? I don't know if I could get the seals somewhere because I'm from Argentina.

[@kingofobsolete4789]

they are a common seal and i will find the information for you tonight. living in argentaina is about the same as living up in northern canada, you have to figure it out and make it work thansk

[@juanlabayen4106]

​@@kingofobsolete4789Thank you very much! Yes, I've been working hard on my D6. The last thing I need to fix is the clutch booster, but I'll sort it out. The clutch levers are a bit heavy for now haha.😅

[@matt2118]

I am waiting for the trip to Walmart in one of the old trucks, you gonna do that anytime soon?

[@kingofobsolete4789]

the money tree will have to blossom first, lol thansk

[@rickhewitt9529]

Joey, I'm sorry I send so many messages. Everything just reminds me of something.im such a dolt.

[@kingofobsolete4789]

no problem, that is what KZbin is all about, learning, remembering and sharing. thansk

[@rickhewitt9529]

Thanks Joey. I learned something from all of your videos. I really like that you kept those ih cats.

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes we try to have a different use of a cat to show what winter cat trains were all about. thansk @@rickhewitt9529

[@rickhewitt9529]

Would have been interesting to put the w against the screaming Ford. 70 thousand pounds on a 4 axle and 10 minutes to make your appointment time. Yeah right.

[@kingofobsolete4789]

i don't think so, lol thansk

[@jiminalaska]

3 yrs under water what else did you have to replace? One beer and I can't keep up with you.

[@kingofobsolete4789]

the fibers in the steering clutches, they fell apart big time and that was about it. thansk

[@379insk]

Caterpillar sounds like John Deere with the way they name things. In JD world bolts don't exist....they are cap screws...wtf

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes unreal how these engineers think to make things hard to work on thansk

[@tonydaley1993]

U use flux core to weld the cast

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes to fill in the slotted hole. any thing goes at the end of the world thansk

[@duanedale2505]

Nice video. How did they get the cats out from under the water

[@kingofobsolete4789]

thank you, recovery is easy up here with just winch them out and hope for the best. thansk
