Repowered CAT D11N with C27

Testing out SUKUT's newly repowered D11N with C27 ACERT engine

[@CATERPILLARD9L]

As an operator, I still enjoy watching equipment working as well as running the machines. We normally work more hours in 8 months than people with regular jobs do in 12 months but I wouldn't trade places with those with a regular job.Watching video's like this make me proud to be a Heavy Equipment Operator, and being able to do a job most people wish they could do.

[@4321grp]

CATERPILLARD9L, As a retired Diesel Mechanic I feel the same way about that type of work although I sure wouldn't want to be doing it again.

[@gdaruda]

Yup it's great to get a big load picked up and let that big V8 just pound away untill you get it to where it needs to be and have a sip of coffee on the way back for more.Luv it I wish I was younger again. Them were great working days. Retired now.

[@altair7001]

It's a V-12...

[@ferenctarnoki1860]

Super! Very good! Thank yuo very much! Hungary.

[@johnm.evangelis693]

Great video, I love the CAT Brand

[@vettekid3326]

The original D10 prototypes back in the mid 1970's and it was similar size to current D11's. The first prototypes had been engined with a V16 stationary engine converted to use in the tractor but that didn't work too well as the oiling system wasn't designed to work in a dynamic vehicle plus the extreme power literally was ripping the tracks off. They the went to a V12 that was designed to be used in a vehicle but it had problems with fires so the production tractors were all fitted with fire suppression systems. In the late 1980's they completely redesigned the D10 for manufactuability and increased reliability and called it the D11. It was fitted with the new 3508 V8 engine that increased reliability and improved fuel consumption over the previous engine. I know as increased EPA demands were made the ACERT techknowledgey decreased horsepower levels in all tractor models causing customer complaints so it's no surprise they had to go to a bigger engine to fix that problem but how does it affect the fuel consumption?

[@greghouse1015]

I come from Peoria,IL which is Cats HQ and Dozer manufacturing base and I have never heard of the Mossville plant(which is the Engine plant) building an engine bigger than the C18. I have been gone from there for 4 years tho now so they may very well be up to that now. Thanks for the awesome vid!

[@cullenosbourn3304]

Didn’t Caterpillar move their headquarters to somewhere in Texas ?

[@charlesbeck6284]

Awesome dozer that's all I can say great video.

[@billbunnel9884]

Wow, what a mechanic

[@chuxtuff]

Not much smoke there means the EPA's happy with this repowered CAT too. That one sounds mighty fine...

[@dannevang44]

They fixed the engine, but not the air con. He has got the door open. After 40 years of operating in Australia, operators comfort is the most important.

[@wideopencrew]

Dawm that's a lot of dirt!!!High production!

[@Catman-gf8ui]

Need to try working on this monster. There is more of it then there is of you .If you want to be tough you got to be a little crazy

[@banjogregcantrell6235]

I never operated this one, only the first year models of the D-10 with the V-12 double stacks . I loved it. Sure was great compared to the old D-9 G with an open cab. I had to follow a first shift dozer "driver ". He was one who would open the door and run the A/C wide open. Then I was forced to operate the 2 nd shift in a dirty cab.

[@robertedginton620]

My Dad worked on the M4 motorway while constructed it, he drove a D8 Caterpillar and scraper. .He drove Bulldozers all is life, he was fanatical about Caterpillar bulldozers. He had references for.is outstanding work when he worked on the motorway for a earth moving firm, Dickhamtons in about 1973.

[@werkspartsllc7856]

Actually the first D10 ( predecessor to the D11N ) had a single, very large exhaust stack. 3412 engine. Later went to the double stack setup. We had one of the first production models in 1978.

[@dennisholst4322]

You didn't have to take mineral pills

[@Gavin84w]

Yep, i would agree right there. I had the first 2 D10T,s to go to work in Australia and the moment i heard them pushing a full blade of dirt with those turbo,s whistling i thought the same thing as you did with this dozer, whats old is new again.

[@markstengel7680]

Incredible the yardage one tractor handles is stunning. A monster dozier

[@greghouse1015]

I used to Weld and assemble the base that the cab sets ontop of we called a tool box that holds Hydraulic components. I enjoyed it. Takes one man an entire 12 hr shift to build 1!

[@leeladharsahu3246]

RAW POWER

[@dennisholst4322]

I think the pushes are too long wasting time

Dam fine operating!

[@dirtmover6190]

[@horacegarfeild2763]

i used to operate the track drills ,,that drilled the holes, to blast the rock to make the shots, so the dozers would have a place to push!!

wow,,i run 41 fiat ellis in the pass but that extra power,,i love big power

[@frankekasjr8671]

Fiat Allis. Did you know the engine is in backwards in a 41?

[@karendennis8604]

gregg the C-18 i do believe is a marine engine that mossville used to build, 3406 E went into the smaller bull dozers not the D-11, C-32 wasnt built in mossville it was built in indiana, I used to build the D-11 tractor from 2004 to 2009, worked for Cat east peoria 10 years...

[@eh4447]

Cat D11 bulldozes downhill - gravity assist - smooth and steady diesel engine progress.

[@ROAMinstuie420]

best job ever!

[@secondgear6079]

Get it brother, imagine if it had new grouzers!

[@CountVonBoco]

As a young operator trying to get my foot in the door, I love seeing videos like this. I'd be the happiest guy on earth if I could just plant my ass in the seat of a big ole' CAT D series dozer and go to town. Thats my kinda job right there.

[@josehenrique9331]

WONDERFUL.!

[@mkerimi]

at last hd video! great job!

[@syamsulrachman2736]

the best materials,,,

[@MitzvosGolem1]

Teir 4 in California CARB conversion? No smoke nice clean exhaust quiet.

[@treinta88]

AWSOME VIDEO CANT WAIT TO START WORKING WITH THESE BIG BAD MACHINES

[@greghouse1015]

If I recall the C-18 took the place of the 3406E Engine which nearly every dozer bigger than the D9 left E. Peoria with.

[@celsoalves2768]

muito bom só o pera dor

[@Hyourinnmaru360]

Its a nice job !!!

[@muratkekec5364]

Very good video wonderfull

[@generationll]

The April 2012 edition of Construction Equipment has a story on pages 28-30 on the D11N repower.It was done by Steve Sturgess the same guy who wrote the Diesel Progress story

[@thebosscatman7]

I have run that dozer and it had plenty of power more then I expected and it had that big heavy semi U blade and still plenty of power maby to much..

[@ShaneGray64]

I m 48 now, been operating heavy equipment for the last 20 years...everything from Marion drag lines to strip OB...Clark 675 twin diesel front end loader.Hyd. and elect. shovels...But to get behind a D-11 or equiv. and push some dirt is a great feeling of power under ur ass....Nice Vid!!! cheers all fellow Heavy equip. Oper....:)

[@MidniteLiquid]

It's funny how much this new C27 sounds like the old D348 that was in the D10 years and years ago. Sounds great!!

[@crewcab1984rv]

What cat motor was originally in this Dozer if they upgraded to the C-27,in 2021 the dozer has a C-32

[@MXpilotch]

very nice video!

[@amdg2023]

I need one of these for the 93 acres, its my dream purchase.

[@icarustanovic3097]

Mine too.

[@dustinclemons6880]

D11 are beast it's a different. story when they are pushing sand rock

[@KB3MMX]

raw power!

[@jj-tq4hx]

KB3MMX more than power, it's the crazy Torque these Monsters produce!

[@bcmcustoms1]

very cool man!

[@labyonnette]

Thank you friend, Im happy now. I would love a drive of a big dozer in fact I would love one. Cheers

[@Gavin84w]

Nice vid mate, you always come through with the goods, like has already been asked though i am curious why they chose a 27 instead of a 32.

[@thebosscatman7]

I have run that dozer and it had plenty of power maby to much..

[@generationll]

In the February 2012 Diesel Progress Magazine on pages 69-70 there is a story on this particular D11N.Was surprised to that that Johnson Machinery in Riverside did the C27 repower.Would have thought that Shephard Machinery in Whittier would have done this instead.The C27 has got the same cid as the 3412 diesel

[@thebosscatman7]

Shepherd has been gone for a long time it is called Quinn and we had a falling out with them so we started dealing with Johnson I had a lot of problems with Quinn myself I told them they were a bunch of dumb ass's so that's why johnson

[@williamm.alvarado3706]

cool equipment!

[@LYEARTHMOVERS]

i dream to have one of these!!!!

[@donhull3857]

Nice video

[@TheBumcum]

how come this d11 has the C27 in it when the acert engines for the d11ts is C32, can you not convert a C32 into a d11N

[@wildlifemovements7843]

Incredable 😃😃

[@fayaslalmaamooribaghdad5962]

Very nice

[@user-uk1pt7er4j]

أنشهد أنك عز انا اتمنى يكون عندي واحد مثلك بذبط وبنفس الحجم

[@RocketAppliance1]

How many hours did it run before the repower?

[@trainman071]

now can i use it to clean my shop?

[@perrystone1413]

Grobartige Maschinen 👍

[@CountryBoy96708]

Look at that baby climb!

[@qewd0075]

1- Slot dozing good. 2- Spin tracks too much, trying to show off in front of the camera and push too much. When blade is full, go with it. Don't keep spinning the tracks to cut more. 3- Border line too far to push, almost need scrapers. 4- Trying to rip and push at the same time....I never had much luck being productive doing that.

What do they do on a repower? Rebuild the original engine. Or remove and replace? And what does something like that cost??

[@UrsulavonB]

Remove - Replace with electronic controlled engine

[@davewashakie2417]

It cost a lot of legal tender

[@thomas65xs]

so thats a brute, is it an old machine with a new power plant? what is a c27? i like it.

[@jeremyhutchins3893]

interesting they used a C27 which was the replacement for a 3412 that was used in the D10 when the C32 was the replacement for the 3508 which was the standard engine in the D11!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@bert5461]

3406 s are 15 liter im pretty sure c18s replaced 3408s

[@Zurdito33]

Medio pelo el maquinista ehhhh!!!!!!!!!! Hace patinar mucho al convertidor...........

[@frankekasjr8671]

Extra power is great, but when you spin the tracks you're not pushing anything.

[@farlinj]

Big ugly iron! Best ever! Great video

[@frankbertola5466]

huge push only you have big winrows try going back just far enough for you load

[@drew3406]

The D11N came with a 3508 mechanical engine. There is no programming that can be done because there is no ECM on the engine. Everything is controlled mechanically. I dont think they did it to gain power, it was basically a rebuild of the machine and they decided to put a new, updated engine in it.

[@thebosscatman7]

All are repower have ECM'S and we were forced to up date or loose them but as long as you work it in the same county the repower doesn't cost that much because of the repower program you the tax payers get to pay most of the bill and just to give a approximate in 2002 it cost 170 thousand dollars to repower a 657 and are cost was around 60 thousand and the tax payers pay for the rest as long as we work it in the county for 2 years and did think we kept them in the same county for 2 years well all I can say is we tried.

Is this dozer getting a blade fuyll and then lifting the blade slowly so that some spoil drops below the blade to lift the surface. Like depositing spoil that he has scraped off the top of the rise. Anyone help me please

[@jorgefonseca9225]

el 3508 si tambiem es muy bueno y duro

[@IndioBlanco5]

Wasnt the C32 a v8?

[@bretmuldner]

C32=12V

[@JoeHupp]

The C32 ACERT was a V12 of 32 litres (1953ci)

[@user-xe2hm1qj5i]

أحلى شغل واجمل الية

[@007TruthSeeker]

The operator is just responding to the dozer slowing as it had insufficient traction to push what its blade faced, raising the blade until forward motion resumed. That maximizes how much you push per run.

[@dennisholst4322]

You got it

[@jasonskinner1555]

Amazing power! I bet it does the work of 5500 men with wheelbarrow and shovel, hydraulic and electric power always have me baffled
