Scraper Transmission Is Broken

[@kevinhenry7273]

Most of us would have called our Cat dealer and they would have sent a service person who would still be looking for where to plug in their diagnostic cable. Jeff you're a fosil with a wealth of knowledge.

[@futuro7690]

are you sure?

[@johndowe7003]

If ya want someone to go out there and fk ya might as well call me lmao. Theyre hit or miss and it ain't cheap either. Its always better to know your own equipment and do repairs yourself (unless it needs specialized equipment or something ya don't have)

[@dennisholst4322]

Some guys just disconnect the trans hold and the diff lock it eliminated the differences of of operators saves money

[@dennisholst4322]

Using that diff lock at the wrong time can be costly

[@dennisholst4322]

Did someone hit low while downshifting preparing to load

[@Nudnik1]

CAT charged me $1000 just to come plug in Diagnostic and read codes on my 2016 320 for DPF clogged 3500 hours $4500 for new DPF and a harness on engine was bad $7000 total.. The Service Tech never went to CAT school either and was a young kid working off his laptop being directed by service manager ! Machine sat two weeks dead .ECM defuels motor. They could not get it running I DID! I found out I could loosen DPF from exhaust manifold and engine would start to move out of fkg hole so I could keep job going. Old CAT were the best. Not anymore like Deere greedy and you can't repair your own machine. I have CAT ET but it won't do what dealer can do.. I went to dealer for a part and they handed me a part labeled "made in China"... I almost threw it through their window! I hear this alot from guys with newer teir 4 machines we have to use on government jobs ... Nice channel. Thanks

[@Bigpower802]

I always enjoy seeing the insides of your equipment and learning how they work.

[@johndowe7003]

It's good to learn on other people's broken machines , sucks when your own stuff breaks 👍

[@Gavin84w]

The 8 speed whine! that noise is embedded in my head Jeff....when there were 70 + scrapers at the airport job down here it was heaven!!

[@dennisholst4322]

Their had to be at least one fat gal lover in that crew

[@greggb1416]

Ya know Jeff, I obviously I don’t have any money in this game (job).., but I am sitting here watching this video, drinking a cold beer…, and now steam is rolling out of my ears…, after hearing $65 to over night a part.., and then to hear the local parts person pulls/sends “thee” wrong part…, I get it.., people make mistakes.., but man..! Ok, sorry for my rant. I finished my beer, I am now switching over to “whisky”… Thank you for the mid-week video, you have a better day tomorrow…, “Jeff wins”

[@michaelbrown6241]

G'day Jeff, P1 and P2 adjust your speed and direction clutch modulation. Your auto shift points usualy have more influence on the shift harsheness, governor feed pressure should be around 90 to 94 psi this pressure will change both your downshift and upshift points so set it first before setting your upshift points. No one has ever updated that trans, 35 years ago those steel tubes to that small manifold you removed were changed to plastic with an inbuilt screen. 🍻

[@Jpaydirt]

The initial pressure is to high on this one, it's about 10 psi more than the others

[@dennisholst4322]

The old 3 speed scraper trans would flop back and forth on a scraper the 8 speed didn't I think operator thinking

[@donaldderrick3639]

Matt is like the head Surgical Nurse, handing Dr. Paydirt the proper tools for the exploratory Transmission surgery. Another Great Video.

[@dennisholst4322]

Baughman had a surgical nurse sister he came back from basic asked the sister what's the piece doing on dash. Oh she said that red light keeps coming on it was the low engine oil light

[@endtimeawakening5557]

Would love to work with your crew, Jeff. I operated heavy equipment as a young man and it got into my blood, never able to shake it. I love the smell of diesel fuel and diesel exhaust, not to mention turning wrenches and saving $ fixing it myself. Stay safe out there brother, you and the whole Anderson gang!

[@norcalray7182]

Love watching those big cats doing their thing

[@petewilliams7425]

I understand now Geoff why you like the old Cat gear,built to last and easy to fault find and to repair if need be.Great video as usual,just ending our spring and entering in to summer,if it bloody stops raining lol.

[@jiveturkey9993]

Jay is a damn good mechanic. He can troubleshoot them damn things quick.

[@kobusdutoitbosman6240]

…you are a most remarkable Operator, with a great temperament and attitude to your work, machines and challenges - super watching and sharing in your videos on UT! • Thank you kindly…quite a trip along the way. (As a young guy in ZA’s Zululand (way back!) battelling with ‘broken and breaking stuff’ gave me massive exposure to this FOI - so immense respect for what you do, how you go about it and turning half the problems you face into ‘joys of discovery’ merely with a magnificent mind and heart set, patience, serious commitment and very evident passion for your chosen task). Great going Jpaydirt! Thank you kindly, once more… 👊

[@waynep343]

Tip. Moving blankets are cheap. Placing one out directly under where you are working can save digging in the dirt for dropped screws.

[@adriannettlefold9084]

Good to see the lizards out getting a bit of run. I guess old mate in the parts shop now only humms after being given a tune up.

[@Sircraig7963]

G'day Jeff,, The design of the selector mech in the CAT scraper is pretty impressive , ,dealing with all the torque n power over so many years ,,,, The proof is in the pudding . Jeff wins again...! Respect

[@mfc4591]

I love the way that CAT colour code the O rings, it makes life better. ( I did spell colour correctly) !

[@spideybrent]

Hello from Moosomin, Saskatchewan, Canada you have great videos thanks for sharing 😊

[@jefftheaussie2225]

I watched the vid you did on driving push pull and found it very interesting, there is a lot going on for sure. Also watching you at the controls of the dozer is good footage. There is always plenty of action at the controls and good to see a good operator making it look easy. Jeff.

[@Jpaydirt]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@letsblowsmoke1005]

Glad to here Caterpillar parts pullers can’t read up there either. I thought I was the only one that had to make 3 trips to get one order right

[@LYEARTHMOVERS]

I know how it feels when transmission breaks…😅 love your videos

[@robertmichel4924]

Zep ultra wipes. By far the best shop towels made. Keep up the good work.

[@fowletm1992]

I know these are your worst days But breakdowns make the best videos, sorry not sorry, thanks for filming it all

[@leonardbartley5670]

Jeez Jeff your like a Catologist for heavy iron. Doctor Jeff

[@richardhoneywell7411]

Great video Jeff alway enjoy watching you troubleshoot and fix your equipment. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Jeff.

[@Jpaydirt]

Thanks 👍

[@dennisholst4322]

Look at the sky God loves this

[@dennisholst4322]

One company I worked for disconnected the trans hold and diff lock pedals never had a problems after

[@vancrawford4064]

Glad you got her going.

[@michaelovitch]

You can paint white the go pro case,so it doesn't overheat anymore.

[@mischef18]

Another great video bro, water ya can't live with or without it. Safe travels guys

[@philhugill8458]

YOU CAN'T BEAT AN AWESOME 'COLONIAL' !!!

[@goatsdoingstuff]

From my understanding the go-pros are designed to have air moving over them to dissipate heat. The case itself is a heatsink. The tabs on the bottom should be metal. Some have had success with using a metal mount to help with heat dissipation. Turning of stabilization and reducing resolution and fps will also help reduce heat created. Results may vary depending on which camera model one has.

[@neils7221]

I love to see you hooking up in three, we were not allowed do that when I worked at a big company because if we hit something hard we would pull the floors right out of the scrapers . Did a job my self in Glenwood Colorado we used a D 10 N and 631 s and we tore up a couple of floors on a 200 ft cut on the side of a mountain with random 4- 6 boulders had a D 9 R pushing rocks around the 800,000 yard job 😂you guys got good potato dirt material you guys can load fast for sure . Keep up the good videos Jeff

[@Jpaydirt]

usually what happens is the weld that connects the top of the frog to the floor wears off and then theres no support for the frog and out it comes, cats metal is not very good, I use a half inch AR 400 top and a three eight's bottom and a A514 (T1) frog, CAT uses 90 thou tensile strength steel and only a 3/8 top and it doesn't take long to wear down the top and the weld until there's not much strength left

[@therowdyexcavator]

Once upon a time I bet that you didn't need to next day that dagnamit. But oh no lets not keep anything on the shelf, I can't imagine that you are the only fella running 637's in all of that area.

[@leonardbartley5670]

Jeff what does a brand new Cat scraper cost equivalent size to you equipment. Great video

[@Jpaydirt]

1.2 mill

[@vicchiapetta4166]

Great job Guys!! Love them Scrapers!!!

[@gregorycross612]

I spy a Wabco at 5:45 in the upper right corner! 🧐

[@shawndoyle7531]

Every time I hear that intro I keep hoping to hear Jeff singing again lol

[@suzylarry1]

I be damned if i can find that part # 2 5 5 blabla , I can see 255 ohshit but not 2 5 5 BLABLA

[@localcrew]

Ya hate to see a good O-ring go bad.

[@jeffsnider3588]

Never ran a scraper but my neighbor used to and says he loved it.

[@doublediamondgarage3031]

I just googled "being one with a machine", and in the results, a picture of ol' J Paydirt popped up!

[@dozerboy67]

I’ve said before and I’ll say it again jay, you gotta get yourself one of those Milwaukee ratchets, mine has hella torque and it just makes taking all those little damn bolts and nuts apart so much easier. And it’ll save your knuckles too! Doh! 😂

[@dennisholst4322]

Those 8 speed are tough diff lock air pressure control is money user

[@glenngosline3303]

You are a great wrench.

[@dennisholst4322]

Some body did their little toe tap at the wrong time

[@michaellee5399]

Heya Mr Anderson good to see you again

[@leol1682]

Like your video Jeff and son .

[@parkfarm233]

Diesel engines, rubber tyres, tracks and lotsa work. They're good when they're going but a real batch when they're broken. Good luck for an easy fix.

[@edmeyers4418]

Jeff when you are running three scrapers how many gallons of fuel an hour are you burning what every it is it most hurt

[@Jpaydirt]

each one will go thru 150 gallons in a 8 hour shift, pretty decent on fuel compared to the new stuff that burns fuel in the exhaust filter

[@davestuart6593]

The future was supposed to make things easier,boy,we’re they wrong!

[@wbball15]

"Take ALL the bolts out"?!?! What kind of witchcraft is that, Jeff?

[@johnneal7155]

I don't have to tell you, but old is not good, it is great!

[@wazza33racer]

Ive talked to workshop managers of big open cut coal mines, here in Australia, and they say that all the new gear ( CAT included) is a continuous battle with the electronics breaking down.........

[@Jpaydirt]

I hear the same complaint

[@wazza33racer]

@@Jpaydirt it seems to be getting worse........John Deere are pushing 'electric' tractors and combines now. Of course, as with the electric car situation, nobody even knows where all the electricity will come from, or if anyone will know how to service/trouble shoot them. Imagine a lithium battery fire, in the middle of a ripened wheat crop in the middle of summer! Unless this nonsense is countered, we will all be stuck with useless junk with no way out of a big mess.

[@f150bc]

Being a plumber comes in handy 🤣 when you get a job on heavy equipment.Pour in some Draino and dry gas hit with a hammer 🔨 and start it up and flush then connect the parts and get back to work man..!

[@richardlincoln8438]

Thanks for sharing Jeff. 👍

[@Jpaydirt]

You bet

[@bcbloc02]

2:01 looks like the weld is broken on that pivot pin. Glad it was a basic fix!

[@Jpaydirt]

my CAT dealer bored that rear hitch hole crooked and the pin is tapered and fits into a tapered bushing in that ear, so it breaks everything all to hell, they also bored the upper H link holes so crooked the thrust washers wont go in

[@bcbloc02]

@@Jpaydirt I know a guy that can fix that kind of stuff but shipping might be a challenge. Maybe some viewers making a trip east could haul it. 🙂

Oop c. Maybe some of that Lucas high mileage additive? 😂 That sucks man. Hopefully it won't be supremely expensive. Hope the best for ya man. ✌️

[@russellsmith3825]

I take it you found the dropped part

[@johnwillis12454]

Hey watch this !

[@jacobo565]

all of our farmers are buying their own scrapers and think $300/hr is too much money, are you running into any of that jeff

[@fowletm1992]

Suppose it depends what you want to do We use tractor scrapers for paddock work Cat scrapers are just too small and low powered for the job If we want a building pad put in we'll still call the co tractors like Jeff The skills required to level it all out is a bit beyond us Along with some new roads Well build 90% of it but like most things the last 10% is most of the actual skill

[@Jpaydirt]

just a few but only backhoes and a trackhoe, I think their smart enough to know the big stuff is out of their price range and they see they can't fix it either, cost per acre and how fast I can get it done is a major factor here

Jay, they use to make a brand of paper towels called Job Squad! I use to use them when we were building my Jeeps. They were great, l could get a lot of use out of one towel. I never see them any more. Why do you call your scraper a dirty whore? Is it because you have had a lot of problems with it? I’d be very interested to find why you call her that!
