FINALLY, back to a dozer vid, instead of vids of you spoiling your kid that acts like he doesn't appreciate it. lol SR

[@petenolte4192]

How is making help build a pickup spoiling a kid sounds more like jealousy

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

So I hate these comments Problem is you have no idea what’s going on. My sons work hard to earn what they have and they are at a precious age to be soaking up all the knowledge that I am giving them! So that’s what I’m doing is raising men, not boys who stay at home playing videos games and learning no basic skills until they are past their learning prime and out of school! Yes Tuckers attitude is different but that’s the way he is. So maybe next time think a little harder and look a little deeper before dropping a comment

[@sawyerrob949]

@@petenolte4192 Seeing as how I have five pu's, with 3 of them diesels, and one of those a dually 5 speed with 5.9 Cummins with all the Banks goodies, I think you can rule out "jealousy". SR

On the other hand we gained one hell of an interesting channel 👍

[@dennisholst4322]

what caused the trany problem with the other one

[@idessaoutlaw]

Clint, This is my favorite channel on KZbin.. and I don't wanna sound like a wise ass, but 60 years of welding on everything from coast to coast and offshore has taught me a few things.. like don't hook your ground to the track pads to weld on the fill plug on the final drive housing, cause it's very possible to arc through the pins, bushings and final drive bearings.. I've seen the damage it will do that gets expensive.. Y'all are my favorite shop and I hope my dozers and excavators can pass through there for a C&C refurb special someday. Keep on doing what you do..😎👌

[@randall39]

I currently operate a TD25 for my brother in law who owns a crushing company. I am currently using it to do restoration around a 26 acre lake that was formed from sand mining. It’s a beast and fun to operate. Old school in today’s construction world😊. As to writing the hours and date on filters, that’s something that we’ve always done, and I wish everyone would do that.

[@dhjorgenson]

Clint I just saw the terrible comment going after your kids and it bothers me so I just want to say a couple things. First, that's just a troll. Second I respect that if your kids are going to have a vehicle then they have to learn how it works and help put it together. I'll be doing the same with my just turned 16 year old this summer. Most of us out here support your positive approach to raising decent kids that respect the value of work!

[@mrsclinton]

Thanks so much for the kind comment , support of the boys and good luck with your adventures this summer with your 16 year old ☺️. Definitely making memories ❤️

[@wwfeatherston]

Trained a lot of apprentices over the years. Be more than happy to have an apprentice with those skills and that can take on work many tradesmen would shy away from!

[@marknewell7355]

I've not seen the comment but I'd just like to say your boys have more get up and go and strong work ethic more than most 40year olds I've seen they are a credit to you and your wife Clint. I hate this side of KZbin for the weird jealous pricks that can't keep their thoughts to themselves much love from Yorkshire England

[@thatdave86]

Hunter has a good work ethic and he takes care how he does things and careful operation of the machine ,also Clint is teaching him well

[@StuartMoser]

OMG I have the same ringtone that you do and it pisses my wife off when we are in the car or truck and my phone rings. I love it and I let it ring as long as possible.

[@quietbrianquiet]

Please at some point in your life teach at a vocational school, as you see your sons turn from boys to men your inside joy must be almost hard to contain. When they are grown and out of the house and on their own ( this will be only in a few short years now) you can have this same amount of joy by teaching other peoples boys (and girls) a trade. Not one in 10 parents have the same world knowledge that you do. They may sit behind a desk all their life making a living and can't offer what you can to teach their children. You will begrudgingly sign up to teach, but the amount of joy you will get is more than you will give. Nothing is better than teaching someone and letting them figure it out on their own and that look that comes over then when they understand it is priceless. Just a suggestion between the out of the house time and the new grandpa time.

[@JPaul60]

No computers on it to make it unreliable and inefficient. You gotcha a gem there.

Love the new edition to your stable! It’s so nice seeing the boys so involved in the business. They are really good boys who are turning into men because of your excellent way of teaching. I am always amazed with your knowledge and your expertise in this field. You looked right at home when you were digging at the beginning and your ability to use the controls so gentle like when you were taking it off the beam trailer Keep up the excellent work.

[@davdsonoftheeagerbeaver8619]

With some new shoes, (grousers), & a paint job she’ll be the “Dessta kill-dozer.” Oh…I wish someone could dig up some old video/film of Clint when he was a teenager working on machines. A throw back before the legend retrospective. 😎

All the old time Seabees would pick the Internationals over the Cats when ever both were around on a job. That should tell you something, those guys were all very serious individuals who got things done in as short as period of time as possible.

Mr C’s response to the negative comment shows that he is class act !!! I watch these videos as much for the mechanical stuff as for trying to understand the company culture !!! I would love to work for this company !!! This is a text book example of how to teach your two kids about a business !!!!

[@gregwhite7957]

Man!, What a beast. Another great find/purchase. Clean running too. Burn that diesel brother in that GREAT piece of TRUE AMERICAN IRON. She’s a digger. Thanks for another amazing video Clint. Take care and stay safe.

[@Mtlmshr]

I agree with you Clint on all accounts that the Grouser repair will be a wash and that it will be fantastic welding experience for Tucker! When I went to welding school back in the 80’S I would burn as much as 50lbs of rod a day and that made me a very proficient welder that I passed all of my certification tests the first time, every time!

[@johnroberts8475]

It looks like your purchase has paid off, the motor sounds really good on camera.

[@glennspreeman1634]

Big ole Cummins sounding healthy from here!!

[@clydeacor1911]

I have a TD25B and it has the IH 813 engine but it threw a rod so I'm probably going to put a Big Cam Cummins in it. And you're right they'll out push a D8 all day long. They were decade's ahead of everyone with their nitrogen accumulators and planetary drive system.

Mann & Hummel actually bought Wix out a couple years back. I used to go to the factory and pick truck and trailer loads of filters up and haul them to the Mercedes Benz and MAN truck factories.

[@terryrogers1025]

Sweet ole dozer, good shape for its age, you get some new grousers welded on and it will push to no end, you have got plenty power and torque sir. Yes, I would be interested in seeing how you gentlemen weld the grousers on, I am familiar with how it was done back in the late 60’s and early 70’s, been a lot welding technology changes since then, I would forward to seeing the process you use. Thanks for the video, appreciate the time you put into them.

[@stevefowler244]

I like your machine. 15,000 hours wouldn't scare me away from a tractor that has been treated right. I was/am a fan of IH/Dresser/Dressta even though i run Deere. I could never figure out why more manufacturer's didn't adopt the same two speed steering system. It is my opinion that it was more versatile and user friendly and it always kept the power on the inside track. I believe you will find welding grousers is the preferable option to swapping out shoes when your base shoe is in good shape. Pads changes are a lot more expensive and may involve new bolts in many cases, not to mention having a lot of torch time and labor just to get the old bolts out. Pre-cut, commercial grousers actually build out a lot quicker and cheaper than a pad change at least where stick welding is concerned, but I never saw it done with mig. 👍👍👍

[@gordbolton27]

We bought one of those monsters a few months ago with a new undercarriage and newly rebuilt engine. We plan on doing a complete restoration project on it. I need to adjust the planetary drive brakes, but other than some faded paint it seems to be in great shape. If you adjust yours, please show the process in detail because there's lots of people out there that has those machines that has no idea how to correctly adjust the two speed differential. Those old machines have outlasted the old timers who kept them running.
