You and I would have had a lot of fun back in the day. I had a w1000 Ford cabover with a 335 Cummins. Lots of smoke but not a lot of miles in a day. 500 was a huge day back then. 😂

[@kennethsonier1766]

Good morning from Cape Cod 🦈 I think the image of you standing with a Budweiser in your hand next to the caterpillar clutch on the bench would be the best advertising. You certainly put a whole lot of effort into this repair, caterpillar certainly isn't mechanic friendly 😕 enough lubrication and you got it done 👍 I've been working on cars and trucks for 40 plus years and the newer the vehicle the worst piece of crap they become. My recourse is to hang with Mary Jane 😉 thanks for sharing and have a great day ✌️🇺🇲

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes now days it is more computer work before you begin the project or figure out why. the new stuff will not be around in 70 years which is a known fact, lol thansk

Joey the first rule of thumb for designing equipment is make it difficult to repair because WE are not going to have to. This coming from a retired locomotive mechanic. Their motto seems to be if it's not broken were not trying...

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes it is unreal how hard they make things and that is why they don't get saved or become some ones hobby later in life thansk

[@genepolley2119]

Some of us don't know about the promo bike. Please educate us. I have watched you from back in the RED POWER FORUM. Keep going. Now I am reading your books too.

I guess Caterpillar wasn't too concerned about ease of service but on the upside you're in a warm shop and there are no sand flies to help you.

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes that is true plus i had 2 years to get the right mind set for the project, lol thansk

[@peterandersen1378]

D6 repair budget: Parts = $200.00 Beer = $7,500.00. YES!

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes that is about correct and we wonder why these projects cost so much, lol thansk

[@LarryDeSilva64]

The Bismark went down running hopefully the operator bailed before it went under. Cat always did make engines a bit difficult to work on with bolts and pieces in the way you either had to try and work around or totally take apart. You are doing a great and what would be a frustrating job for me. What would we do without a come along hoist. Thanks for the video

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes both operators survived the sinking. not sure why caterpillar made it so hard to work on and that is why i only have 4 which is 4 too many, lol thansk

I laugh when I see your hat. I live in northern California, but actually southern Ontario Canada. I have a hat like yours and my kids make fun of me. I guess they would rather freeze to death. Loading lumber in a yard in northern Ontario at 40 below, you do everything you can to stay warm.

I'm getting the distinct impression that IH cats are a lot easier to work on than Caterpillars... All that over-engineering on the Caterpillars and fiddling around to do what otherwise should be basic things but aren't, would cause me to lose lots of hair on my head (or cause me to drink!!)

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes IH is user friendly and mechanic friendly with no special tools required or a box of band-aids. caterpillar you need lots of booze and a box of band-aids, lol thansk

[@benjamincresswell3713]

Mr. King, I believe that when something is hard to repair it's because: 1) They were copying someone else's work (reverse engineering it) and trying to make it just a little bit different to beat their patent or: 2) They just didn't know what the Hell they were doing, and lucked onto something that worked, so they went with it even if it ended up being clumsy. Very early on in my work life one of my boss's told me: The difference between an amateur and a professional is: The professional fixes his mistakes, The amateur lives with them. Later in my working life I was told: Some people make things difficult just because they can. It took me a long time to come to grips with the idea that someone would intentionally make something difficult for someone else. Maybe I come from a very protected childhood. I do wonder about it. Your work looks professional to me, I'd hire you. ben/ michigan

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes the saying goes that caterpillar made a steam engine run on diesel fuel because they were so far behind in their development. not sure why they made things so hard to work on when there was no need. thansk

[@arnoldvoth482]

Like I always say,I’m not an engineer but I knew how to fix their f$&& ups,they didn’t like it when I said that but like you with the flywheel bolts,unreal😂

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes all they had to do on almost everything was give just a little more clearance but no, lol thansk
