My life flashed before my eyes when you dropped me under the dozer, BUB! That battery advice from Kevin! Priceless!!!💩💩💩💩💩

Lol

[@johnquinn3899]

Thanks Kevin for retrieving us from that hole !! “Fire it up” says Kevin. Really a nice touch listening to Clint going through the diagnostics - you professionals make it look so easy. Thank, John

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@dailydriver8280]

What a pleasure it is to watch professionals at work to untangle a mess made by some folks that shouldn't be allowed to oil a bicycle chain. Hopefully they aren't allowed within 1000 yards of anything that flies. Another great video, and I can't wait for Part 2.

[@tomrogers9467]

And it’s all YOUR hard earned tax dollars pissed away, too!

[@jarmstrong2843]

This video reminds me of an M1078 military truck I bought off a government auction. The vehicle only had minimal run time, yet the condition report on the vehicle said the engine had major problems and would not start. I took a chance and bid on it and won the auction. A few months later the vehicle was eventually delivered to me after completing a government background check. Stuck some new batteries in vehicle and it would not start, but it would turn over very nicely. I topped off the fuel tank, checked the oil, checked coolant and other fluids. Shot a few squires of starting fluid. It would catch, but nothing would run. I then loosened the fuel line connection to the injectors and fuel pump. After bleeding air from the system, then it fired up and it has been running ever since. All it would have taken is for a competent mechanic in the Army to troubleshoot to get it running. Instead, the government puts basically a new vehicle on the auction block and sells for substantially less than what it paid for the truck new. YOUR GOVERNMENT TAX DOLLARS BEING WISELY USED.

[@IR-nq4qv]

If that dozer could talk... I'm confident It would be thanking you for your service

[@jbkbrand]

Ahh! When dad and grandpa would pull into the yard. I gave up on asking if it runs when the answer was always “we don’t know”! I had two standing instructions. 1. It leaves under its own power. 2. It looks pretty. Clear out bay 4. That’s where my pit was and let’s start there. Y’all bring back memories for me. Thanks and hi from Texas

[@jerrylong3580]

Long or short keep them coming. It’s great to see how you bring old iron back to life. Keep on making them and we will keep watching them. Happy New Year C&C

[@dennisryan7487]

Good Video! I didn't get hurt when you dropped me! I think this dozer is one they used to teach their" Mechanics" how to sabotage a dozer, and keep it out of enemy hands!

[@trig5454]

Kevin is not only funny, he is very competent. As I listened to the discussion during the rigging up of the crane and fork lift to unload the machine Kevin was right on in the way he 'directed traffic'. Can't wait for the next installment.

[@jamessimon7367]

Your sidekick LB is hilarious, you need to give him a raise. Fire 🔥 it up! Let’s see if it runs! LB stands for little buddy 😆

[@keeanmorishita8457]

I love your commentary as you inspected this for the first time. You make us viewers feel like we are on the job with you, just one of the guys shooting the shit. I love it!

[@williamkelley7654]

You guys MUST make delivery driver's day. Having that capability to unload such weight.

[@alexanderreuters3934]

They've started to take the engine out. Then figured out that C&C can do this for a video.

[@mikescaffo4850]

Clint you and Kevin can handle this mess and make her perr like a kitten

[@danagschwind6457]

Do love the way you prioritize things. Kevin is quite the comic!

[@MrSoupsnake]

New Indiana fan from up in Lafayette here...I love your banter back and forth. While inheriting someone else's junk work is frustrating at times, it sure can make for a great laugh. I've been there many times as a field fire protection technician. Thanks for sharing the "fun" with us!

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Welcome aboard!

[@donalddehaven3229]

This is really interesting. I would love to work on this one with you guys. Great to see the boss. I have no doubts you’ll get this running, because you have the skill set. This is why I enjoy your channel.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@mrsclinton]

Thanks for the watching 😉

[@johnroberts8475]

Can't wait for part two on this one, cause something tells me there's more to this one that we haven't seen yet. lol

[@mattsprayberry0]

That's the first time someone has saved me after I fell off a dozer so thanks

[@jamestreanor182]

Reaching for camera was epic

[@Hey_Its_That_Guy]

You guys will have that beast back up and running in no time!

[@billvandorn5332]

Definitely educational for someone who wants to learn despite the cosmetic surgeries required!

[@mikenixon9164]

That's 18 ton crane at 10 foot radius with boom retracted. Very interesting video.

[@wiserman100]

A Ukrainian tank mechanic worked on this one. Fill the engine with wheel bearing grease. Guaranteed leak stop. Seriously, I'm glad this great machine found a worthy medical team.

[@AndrewFroude]

Well done so far. I look forward to seeing the next instalment, which I am sure will see this dozer running like a charm.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks 👍

[@Offroad73]

I love the "in op" videos the best. Clint knows his chit. Best channel on KZbin (sorry peg). I laughed my A off watching Kevin trying to get the camera that fell

[@The-Deadbolt-Deputy]

I like these “start from scratch” situations. It’s awesome to watch how fast you guys can visually pick em apart and start to figure out what in the hell is goin on. I’m anxious to see what happens next. Thanks guys.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Mtlmshr]

I genuinely enjoy watching a professional do what they do in there given field and you do not disappoint, you constantly show your depth of knowledge every time one of your videos drop! Things as simple as you know where everything should go just by looking at it.

Thanks 👍

absolutely enjoy watching Kevin and Clint work together, and the rest. And i hope it is as much fun for yall as it seems to us. we enjoy watching you work on the broken down bulldozers and other equipment.But i want you to let Kevin paint that lifting crane because its a big part of your tools and all the rest of your tools are nice! so when you walk out the door you would see a nice crane that you use quite often . not complaining , you just keep making these videos so we can enjoy it with you! thanks

[@allennoteware6946]

Well done

[@arthurbiringer5676]

Can’t wait to see part 2

[@rdecoster1]

These shows you make are better to watch than the TV!!! Can't wait for part 2!!

[@thedelcodave]

I am fully confident that team C&C will sort this dozer out. I love the explanations of what you are doing on your diagnostics a lot of wisdom here.

[@ralphyoung5443]

Clint I'm not sure how old you are, but your knowledge and understanding of your trade is far beyond your years. I think the training you are giving your son is worth more than any higher education. I hope he follows in your foot steps. I also admire your calm demeiner, It seems all involved enjoy working for you. Please say hi to Kevin. Wish your family and all involved the best.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@Thecowboy1950]

Yep it will be interesting to see you guys get it running

[@peterouellette3874]

Good luck guys

[@godzilla7382]

as a former army support maintenance guy my guess is that something went wrong and the parts/money weren't available to fix it completely so it was dragged into the corner of the yard and parts/bolts were robbed and or in junction with new guys using it to train on so they didn't fuck up another one.

[@mikesmith7283]

Great videos.. last one on other 850j was super interesting. Look forward to next installment 👍👍👍

[@fredjohnstonj2907]

[@maxobara1496]

Great video, love these investigations, can’t wait to press on!! 👍🇺🇸

[@scallywag9392]

Great entertainment! Just love the tongue in cheek humor!!!!! (from Cape Town South Africa)

[@Archadies]

As someone who has live most of his life in that part of the world since 9/11. They found a problem that they could not fix in country and it sat in the yard and was used for spare parts until some captain didn't want it on his books anymore and it was shipped back. Could of sat for years. The fluids are mostly empty because the military requires it for shipping. It looks slapped together because it was never put back together, you would need a part and remove as much hardware as you need so you can remove that part. That includes bolts, lines, wiring, anything. Be happy It had the body panels.

[@nicklongoria8316]

I’m a heavy equipment mechanic in the Marine Corps. Y’all wouldn’t believe what some of these young guys do to this equipment. We go to a 2 month long military run “school” to “learn” how to work on most of our equipment, then we get pushed out to our respective units and are expected to know how to diagnose and repair millions of dollars worth of heavy equipment (cranes, dozers, telehandlers, wheel loaders, etc.) If you didn’t want this MOS and/or aren’t mechanically inclined and more than anything, don’t have a passion for working on equipment you’re set up for failure from the beginning. Hardly any oversight or guidance from your supervisors makes for a bad combination as well, especially when most of them don’t understand equipment either. Short story long, I love seeing what y’all do to these 850’s to get them running again after the Marines screwed it up! Keep it up y’all, God bless

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

[@hankhazen]

I remember my first job in the military was estimating for the rebar in a large building we would be building in Okinawa, Japan. I had no oversite from my superiors. you can imagine what we ended up with. I can assure you i did learn how to estimate for a large construction project from that experience.

[@stephenarthy6593]

Great start to the new year this is the only channel I can say is the best on here what a team and what about your army fitters omg
