INSTALLING NEW TRACKS ON A D10T DOZER!!!

Why didnt you retract the adjuster first

[@CarlosAlberto-ii1li]

I changed a set of tracks 52 years ago on a D8 we had no equipment as you have and there was no Bla Bla Bla either......................which made the job easier.

I love heavy machinery! When I was little dad used to bring me to a railroad crossing and I watched passing freight trains for hours and never got tired. I also loved watching tractors and heavy trucks leaving tacks in mud. I still do!

[@MrRich710]

My father was a sewer/waterline contractor. We moved to a 100 acre "weekend farm" in '82 when I was 12. I grew up around Cat, Komatsu & Case excavators, dozers, backhoes & payloaders. Life was like living in a giant Tonka Toy world. Back then there was nothing better than being awakened at 5:30 in the morning by the distant sound of Gus unloading a Cat 225/235 off the lowboy down on Masters road. On those days I'd get home from school, throw my books where ever, put on my "dirty clothes" and go find whoever was doing whatever work on the property. All the operators knew when they saw me standing a safe distance away, staring in their direction, that they needed to throttle down and let me climb up on the tracks and get myself situated standing next to them in the doorway before they could get back to work. I loved that better than any amusement park ride that existed.

[@Andrew-l5o4j]

You know a machine is big when it has a whole walk way on it

[@autumn7ful]

Loved your video Quinton and it was good seeing Casey there too. It’s always good to have friends that can help you out.

[@Sojourning_]

I'm glade for you, I pray all goes well, I'm a retired HDR/W. 75, I serviced the first Cat Demo D10 that came to Southern CA, Later it was actioned off, McCoys, bought it, I moved over to that company for years, and again I was watch dog over that cat and the like, and one day I asked what came of it, The super told me it was cut up for scrap. I was shocked. After that the early first production of the D11..with rippers, ... came out of a coal mine. used it up above Canyon Lake. lots of blue granite up there, Denny McCoy got ticked off watching an operator battle the rock with a D9L, kicks the operator off, jumps in the seat and commences tear up the rock, but all he accomplished was to actually tear off the ripper assembly. and that is how we came by the D-11. I assembled it, only to discover the engine had a rod of two rapped around the crank. got it fix, That was something 40 years ago. It was all new to us back then, we had to learn as we went. Today I know nothing. They call the Yellow Iron we used back in the day,to put the beans on our table antics. The Lord Be With You.

[@arisaka9963]

Good video. Subbed

[@steveminton8329]

The size of these machines on camera is wild, I imagine in person they are even more impressive

[@henrycarlson7514]

So wise , Thank You . Another Fine example of why you collect so many machines . Thank You for Showing Casey and another fine use of the Zacklift in action.

[@jeffclark2725]

Starting a friday morning with iron king , see how you install tracks,sun shine and warm there still

[@NecroViolator]

Man that forklift having to pick up that massive piece of metal. Many tons.. Now thats impressive...

[@duaneb193]

Interesting process to watch - thanks for bringing us along! Of course, it's made even better when we get Casey and the ZackLift as a bonus (and we have to have the banter). Thought about you when I saw some heavy equipment being moved outside Ely a few weeks ago while I was down to Vegas on vacation.

[@daviddelaney5180]

HI Quinton, being somewhat dyslexic I glanced at the title and saw IDOT and being right brained I added an extra I making it and idiot dozer! Love your channel! Please forgive dyslexic people!

Awesome video! My brother in law used to work on komatsu equipment. Thank you for sharing. 😊

[@jefferyyoung6836]

One of your best videos ever, those are some serious tracks

[@billiardballs]

I'm a new subscriber & enjoyed this video. How little it takes to disassemble something like this is surprising. It seems the rub is that everything is so heavy. I can't figure how you install that heavy subframe onto that big pivot point without hammering up the fragile seal on the inside of the frame. Time to watch some of your previous videos. Great channel - keep the episodes coming!!

[@GIJoe2at]

I missed how the master pin was installed........Also missed how the tisioned was adjusted. The work is in the details.. Good video in general...

[@matthewgarling3941]

Hi Guys. The reason you had trouble lining up the EQ bar pin and you had to pull the track frame outwards is the frame you removed was a toe-out and the frame you installed is straight which requires a shorter EQ bar

[@quintonbartolotta]

Both eq bars were the same part number, unless the track frame on the previous tractor had the wrong eq bar installed. There is a 1/2 inch difference in length between the Toe and Straight bar.

[@jackdotzman2908]

Can’t thank you enough for taking the time to record how you changed out these tracks. For years I have wondered how it’s done. That is big very heavy equipment your working with, one can get hurt in a heart beat. I’ve noticed the care you take for safety👍, thank you. Not counting cost for changing out that whole track assembly that you took off of another machine and put on this one, what did the tracks cost and what did the labor cost come to? Great video, well edited, very informative and educational video. We’re watching from Missouri.

[@technovaglobal]

Wow, I’m genuinely impressed by the durability of that old excavator! It's incredible to see how it keeps going strong despite its age. It’s a true testament to how well-built machines can stand the test of time when taken care of properly

[@davidrobins7753]

Interesting to watch ingenuity at work. Slick way to change out the tracks.

[@alearn3312]

I enjoy seeing the other side of the video production! Thank you.

[@AceOSpades717]

I swear i saw something about breaking both tracks at the same time in a training video... All well. When ya work with heavy equipment, you gotta Shake Hands With Danger sometimes.

(16:07-29:26): On day two, they reassemble the new track frame after securing seals and a new retaining ring. The team faces minor challenges but successfully attaches the frame, fills it with oil, and aligns the new tracks beneath the machine.

When are you going to source a Lincoln pneumatic grease pump that sits on a 33 gallon barrel of grease. Take a strong pallet and mount it with a small gasoline powered air compressor so you can move it around easily ?

Nothing better than the sound of a Cat engine... Those new tracks look really good. They should have some serious bite and last a long time. It's too bad you had to replace the track frame too.

[@MrRich710]

"Nothing better than the wound of a Cat engine"... Especially the older Cats! I'm not a mechanical person but grew up around a lot of big Cats and they sound different to me now than when I was around them as a kid through the 80's.

Surprised you never replaced the frame pivot seals while it was apart. And new tracks with new sprocket segments is almost a sun.
