I had tears in my eyes when you shut it off for the last time 18 years of hard work and faithful service

[@roballan4944]

I just finished my last full overhaul. Feb1-june29 full rebuild on a d8t fmc1102. Front to back top to bottom. Rebuilt engine, torque, all the pumps, motors, trans, complete undercarriage including bogey pins, pivot shaft, and hardbar. All cylinders rebuilt and already back to work.

Great video , as an owner of a recycling company I love to to see companies that give machinery extra life by various levels of refurbishment. I love to repair rather than replace even though big business makes that very difficult with so many parts being replacement only with no service kits anymore . Repair, reuse and recycle 👍

[@robertbowling8393]

Greetings again from Ohio ... This is only the 3rd video of yours I've watched, and I'm impressed by what you do ... Removal, cleaning, thorough inspection and repaint ... Awesome procedure that reclaim good, serviceable parts that keeps them out of the shelters. Serving a good cause for customers who aren't able to obtain parts from the manufacturer .... and making a living for yourself and crew. Awesome operation. The most important thing I learned was that you inspect (and correct if needed) prior to sending parts on. Obviously many very likely don't go to these extremes to ensure a good serviceable part. Kudos!!

[@Bigdaddyslasher]

19 yrs of service is impressive since they live a hard life.

50+ years of service would be more impressive.

It's amazing that the size and weight of a D10, just how narrow the tracks are. You would think that it would sink to the belly in soft dirt.

[@warrenjones744]

So boys looks like fun!, everything has an end, don't be sad when you shut it down, it's done its work. A tip on stuck hydraulic fittings you might not know.(I see you undoing that fuel line with a cheater pipe) take an appropriately sized BFH and/or a long punch if need be and wack the flat face of the fittings a few times and they typically come loose without the cheater pipe. It usually works great for those lines up under someplace you cannot just quite reach and apply power or those stuck excavator boom lines at the end of the tubes. Both JIC and ORS. If it's rusty or cross threaded or whatever by the previous guy...you're on your own! Cheers

[@richardgatchell2523]

May I ask what is actually wrong with the D10 to be putting her in to parts? She's running but I'm not familiar with dozers so I wouldn't know a thing. From Richard Gatchell from all the way in NEW ZEALAND

Good to see the Boss came up knowing how to do the actual work rather than one that. Is my daddy owned the company and now I do, so you do the work and I just collect the money! Because the fathers that don’t make their children learn everything from the ground up. Are setting them up for failure!!!

How do you price your parts that you pull? is a percentage of a new part? or is there like a chart for used parts in whatever condition they are in at the time?

Not to be critical, but you should have a collection of hydraulic hose fittings and caps to cap off your hoses so you don’t loose and leak fluids.

Just curious. What took that Cat out of service as 'end of working life'? Is it just uneconomical to overhaul as a working machine, or was there something more 'Cat'astrophic that happened to it to make it uneconomical to repair? Thank you.

[@quintonbartolotta]

Due to the amount of frame hours “65,000” it was just un economical for my customer to keep fixing and repairing it.

okay firs time watching your Chanel this one on the Dozer Down and not to impressed with some of your calls on the fuel tank customer say has one down with a hole or what ever in it's fuel tank as there not allowed to repair there fuel tank you you have one but upon taking it off you fined it has had a repair carried out you say its good and your sending it to your customer now either they had a board meting and changed the rules around fuel tanks or there was none or your sending it with the hope they don't see it or you were banging your gums for some thing to say and do so there in lies the thumbs down but you more than likely like all other ones i watch can't be bothered to read comments as there is to meany or to long like this one so Cheers and i may watch some more if i can get round the tall stories bit

Brother, you don't have to explain every little thing , some people have imaginations. just saying

[@kencrouch668]

I came here from Casey Ladelle's channel- a couple of comments and please do not think I'm a back seat quarterback as I am just making observations: I hate to see such a Big Giant of a machine scrapped - but as you said - it will live on in other machines. The strap in 8:47 where you were lifting the part up- it looked frayed- my question is how often if ever do you replace these? The reason I'm asking is where I worked at we had a safety person and she went around and had to inspect theses straps - we were supposed to look at the strap every month our selves and attach a different color cable ties each month. If the strap was frayed then we would have to toss the old strap in the garbage and purchase a new one - they would not give us the old one to take home. Also- I see that you are using a grinder to strip off the old paint. I don't know how much you painting you have to do but have you considered using dry ice? Dry ice is very effective in removing paint and other materials - it will not harm the environment as it melts when it drops on the floor.

[@59patrickw]

you should check the strap every time you use it , if you do not know what to look do not use a strap , I had the same job as the person checking the lifting gear every week and before use as all slingers have been shown and taught how and what to look at and care for the lifting equipment

[@quintonbartolotta]

If the strap was to be used for a suspended load i would have grabbed a good rated strap, since it was simply being used to pull something out of the way nobody was in danger. As for dry ice that sounds like a great idea but is much to costly for the amount of parts i sell on a daily basis.
