How To Destroy A Bulldozer

How to destroy a bulldozer, just add rocks and watch the grousers disappear, so I make a large mistake in this video and I'll keep making videos if you promise not to tell the boys

So pile up all these rocks so that in 10,000 years some archeologist can come along and question the what, why and who and make up stories about all of it. Piles of rock in relation to alignment to constellations and human sacrifice n all that. Thats all the Egyptians was doing was just piling up rocks so the could plant.

G'day from Australia and an old '9' man from the 70s when I worked for the Hydro Electric Commission of Tasmania. I worked a 9 and from time to time a 355 Komatsu in a quarry producing rock fill for the hydro power dams back in the day. Mostly 9s as the yankee steel in the under carriage was better suited to the hard basalt and granite. Now retired but still with cat yellow flowing through my veins. Thanks for the videos.

Thank you so much for telling about what happened on Load up of very Heavy piece of Equipment. Its great FYI. Your advice on never loaning your Truck & Trailer to anyone, good advice, have seen so many times if the person doesn't pay the repair costs, they just don't care what happens to equipment, they are just getting a paycheck to work.

Built to be rebuilt, was the slogan when I was an apprentice. No plastic to be seen on any machine.

A big YES, there is so much plastic on heavy equipment nowadays. I remember the older Cat Artic- Loaders where everything was metal and steel. Now they have so many plastic parts.

Must be one of them new track rollers took a dump. 2:50, lefthand side, just forward of the sprocket. She's just danglin. On the neck links, I used to link the up at 90 degree with retainers, so they wouldn’t drag on the ground. Love the video. Hard job.

[@walterquave6811]

I’m sure you already know about the worn out rollers, this video brings back memories of many hours of moving equipment. When I was a teenager my dad sent me and a 3T cat to the neighbors house to clear a few palmettos, I slid the cat off the lowboy sideways and of course the track came off and the belly pan was stuck between the lowboy tires and the side rail of the lowboy, dad wasn’t very happy with me, but with his experience he was able to get the cat off the lowboy with only one track. I didn’t tell you I made a turn way too sharp and drove the lowboy into a ditch. It was a learning experience for me. You remind me so much of my dad. He was the man. Happy trails.

It's amazing.... sitting here in the process of recovering from hip replacement surgery watching your video. I can literally still feel what jobs like this do to both the equipment and the operator. While the video title is appropriate to be sure it could perhaps also include the fact that, over time, in my case 45 years, it also destroys the operator(s) as well.

Look in machinery trader under dismantled machines or see if you can find someone who could bend on up using yours for a pattern, I do that for the steel lines that run through the bowl on the 637's and then I remove the ends and weld them back on the new pipe, CAT used some kind of high chromium steel in some of those pipes and they are impossible to weld, your other option is a hose but it would have to be a big one to carry the same flow as the steel but wouldn't have to be rated any more than 1,000 psi which would cut down on the overall size of the hose
