We ran into several problems Installing the blade on the Cat D8K and getting it ready for paint!

40:20 Beautiful day when you can idle in a D8 at 2 RPM

😂😅😂😅❤

[@williamgraham8809]

Dirt Perfect may have gotten us here, but Clinton and Kevin make the journey worth taking! Your skill mixed with humor keep me entertained!

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@nigelphillips9426]

And I got here the same way

[@danielashford2430]

Thanks Clint checking out the old videos again,peace brother…

[@donalddehaven3229]

These are the videos that are awesome. Kevin is fun to watch. All we needed was for the boss to show up. Clint, you have a great company.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@mrsclinton]

Guess they didn’t need the “boss” on a small job like this one 😂😂

[@danielcollier4401]

Think the 'boss' knows when to show up and when not too

[@mrsclinton]

@@danielcollier4401 gotta try to keep them in line so it’s best to keep them guessing 🤷‍♀️ 😉

[@bombardier3qtrlbpsi]

@@danielcollier4401 Watch what you say it's easy to get caught. You can't get away with nothing. Watch Clint I think he's a spy. Ask me I know!😄😄

[@larryconley9438]

Clinton you doing all the work Kevin's standing there giving you advice. LOL 😆

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Always lol

[@skraminc]

this place looks like so much fun. just a few dudes with a bunch of tons of metal, cranes, forklifts, shoving expensive parts into ridiculous places, questionable industry engineering, torches, welding, everything is broken... all of the funnest things.

[@OzzieBrian]

I thought Kevin was about to do Ballet, the way he had his hands in the air lol 🤣😂🤣

[@williambradford1467]

With all of Kevin's helpful hand signals, I'm surprised you didn't end up assembling it into a pump jack or a launch tower instead of a dozer blade! The humor mixed with genuine skill and friendship makes for a great combination. Your team obviously knows what you're doing, and it shows in each episode. Much appreciated!

[@russellgilson4072]

Good stuff

[@daveching3772]

Well, you guys certainly had a few set backs to perform a "simple task" like re-fitting the blade. It made for good viewing seeing you fix the problems that cropped up along the way and made me realise (again) how much I miss working on gear like D8s, as I did back in the 80's when I was an apprentice diesel mechanic. I am now looking forward to (again) seeing Kevin work his magic on the colour and being wowed by a great looking, freshly painted D8K. Roll on for part 3 of this great story.

[@pinwizz69]

Another fine mess Clint got Kevin into. The comedic banter between them is definitely part of what keeps us subs waiting for the next episode. Like 60's & 70's kids waiting for the Saturday morning Bugs Bunny Comedy Hour.

[@brianhoward6896]

I like to see big equipment being worked on, you guys do a good job at C&C.

[@barrygrant2907]

I love a hard day's work. I can watch you do it all day long!

[@thor942]

I know that work isn’t easy, but man you guys make it look fun. Great team

[@tennysoncason772]

It's likely that most folks who find this particular trade fascinating don't actually work on heavy equipment. However, we appreciate the C&C videos because they bring us into the shop in a familial sort of way while being, at the time , educational. Shop levity also adds balance to the whole package.

[@jbonegw]

I’m 99.9% mechanically illiterate but really enjoying watching this channel. 😂

[@glennjukes5581]

I understand what you are saying here--it is hard/dirt work. I worked for a heavy construction/landfill company for 25 years before I was lucky enough to retire.did just about every job in the company-did the shop tour for five years. My Son currently has his own H/E shop-with service trucks that keeps him busy. He worked for CAT about 10 years before going out on his own.I understand these video's--These guys rock! You know-in this world of computer-land jobs--someone still has to fix/make/fabricate things so stuff gets done. Can't just sit at a keyboard...

[@andytaylor3098]

cheers guys another great video you all make me smile every time i watch super attitude and knowledge as all ways never a dull moment working in your shop seems to be a really great place to work like one big family keep it coming respect from the uk

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@sudd2685]

Lost my dad last week to dementia, every evening when I got off work I would carry my iPad to his bedside and we would watch your videos, his eyes would light up and smile. Dad wash a mechanic when he was a young man , he worked his way up to be director of operations at a large furniture manufacturer in NC, I can’t thank you enough for your videos, we all miss him but he’s in a better place.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Sorry for your loss Glad he enjoyed them

[@rosecomeau-v4x]

The master mechanics at work. The wanna bees can learn a lot from watching this stuff. Good job boys.

[@heatherlane9270]

Big machines mean big weight and little problems are also big. Heavy old machine taking on its original shape, colour and workable condition. Great video.

[@terryrogers1025]

I swear those ole Cats gotta soul, they are just like a big ole dog, you take care of them and they love ya forever. Sweet sounding ole girl, ready to go back to work the heavy stuff will be no big deal. Thanks for the update sir.

[@dansbrown1313]

Thank you Clinton for another 50 minutes of pure fun. I surely do appreciate the time and effort you put in each video you post. I was amazed at the sneak peek at the finished product after Kevin did his magic!

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@latherookie]

You guys are awesome. Really enjoy the work you are capable of. Nice to see Mr. C get dirty in this one.

[@wesleymonske8103]

If you put the nut on the end before hitting it with the BFH it saves the threads from peening over and if they do just back nut off to re-thread.

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

You guys sure do a complete job.. Any prospective buyer need do nothing more than look a few of your videos to see the quality of your service and repairs. That new grill turned out mighty nice👍. Looks OEM.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@regsparkes6507]

" Be happy in your work",.. as somebody once said,...Kevin is the 'champ' in this! I actually look forward to Tuesdays and Fridays for more great viewing time, from C&C Equipment's YT channel. Thanks again, Clinton.

[@cw4558]

I like the fact you guys don’t cheap out on your work most people would of just fixed that hose not put 2 new in good job

[@wesleymonske8103]

Use a breaker bar with a pipe on it too break it loose. Air chokes pole. Unless you have a good compressor and air ratchet. Snap on has a 90° ratchet thats awesome for about $300. Well worth it.

[@rickharris1709]

I've said it before, and I will say it again, " the best channel on KZbin hands ✋️ down," so informative, so knowledgeable, so intertaning..thanks Guys.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@philstreeter9703]

Great video Clint. It was all hands on deck for this one. Going to be nice machine when Kevin does his magic. The engine sounds sweet!

[@thomasdesmond2248]

I love hearing the old kitty cats purr. God bless

[@kevinkenyon7045]

Clinton another great video! You guys sure work good together! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

[@tonydurnell7951]

You are going to just have to have a dozer painted in C&C Blue one of these days. Bet it would bo a cool 'one off' and worth its weight in Dollers (Deisel) @ auction. Great vid once again. Also thank you for what you have done to help the Captain out, as an ex IH and later in life a Cat field engineer really wished I had your tools available back then, but it was still fun times, that was way before mobile phones were thought of. Turbo Kev is one smart guy, not everyone gets the chance to stand and watch his second in command work. Stay safe and well, now wishing my life away waiting for your next posting.

[@harveylong5878]

she is a gift that keeps on giving isnt she. where's the fun in a dozer that isnt hoarding surprises. Kevin would be free to sing christmas carols otherwise 😆

[@dougyurecko6500]

I loved how you described how easy it would be the break the track and pull apart the track adjuster, and you did make it look easy. Great video, cant wait to see it shine. Those 8s are strong old machines. Wish I had a reason to have one and one of those F model 7s. I operated a couple when I was in the army late 70s early 80s. Lot of fond memories of those machines. Thanks for the great content and letting " TURBO " come back.

[@thomasdesmond2248]

Clinton the guy said he rebuilt the cylinder. He didn't say when. Lol God bless

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Lol

[@briankaitschuck125]

You and Kevin make this an awesome video to watch thxs.

[@thomasdesmond2248]

Kevin have you ever noticed the funny farm seems to follow you. Lol God bless

[@andrewruble7706]

Another awesome project! You and Kevin sure do laugh alot which I think is just great. Bet the final product will be a bit more yellow. Thanks for sharing your talents with us.

[@SLCFarms]

Team ram rod. The super troopers reference was spot on. Man that’s one big ole girl.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Lol

[@raycollington4310]

Time you sorted that apprentice out Kevin. Repairing kit the size of this D8 and up is fascinating to watch. you guys deserve a lot is credit for your knowledge and skill tackling this stuff Clinton. I was amazed how you covered the stack when hauling that D8 home to prevent the draft spinning the turbo. I guess this was because of the broken manifold, I would never have thought of this.I'm looking forward to you boys getting a D9 and then a D11 in your lovely shop to sort out. Great channel, thank you very much.

[@moman0166]

When you have the ability to work on heavy equipment you guys develop your own language of communication to make everything flow. This is a art just like putting the track back together on this D8 Cat. Everything is OMG heavy on this brute. Great job bringing her back to life.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@larryshillings6672]

When it comes to the finishing touches, Kevin puts forth a lot of elbow grease, I mean A LOT, just to get it ready to paint. Thats the hours and hours of labor that you don't see, or even realize. But let's not ever forget Randy who needs accredited to the max. Give credit where credit is due.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Yep for sure

[@kingwood4357]

The D8 sure sounds good when she is idling, much slower and it would be a hit-an-miss engine. Great video 👍

[@michaelmullins1290]

Fine looking machine at the end. Somebody will be happy to own it soon. Yall all feed off each other. Having fun while working. It's a new innovation!

[@garygoff5332]

I love watching you guys work. You explain everything you do in detail. Great videos.

[@wink9970]

Nice shot of Clinton earning his tea !!!

[@louistorcello3525]

I am really enjoying the vlogs. Loved the shop truck series, learned heaps and seeing the engineering involved with the dozers etc is great to watch. Appreciate you are taking the time to show how things work and the problem solving that follows. Very entertaining the banter in the shop especially with Kev, must make the job more fun. It is great to see your sons working and learning with you as it will definitely serve them well in the future.

[@thetroubadourtrucker]

I would love to see more of the hose making process as well. Keep up the great content!

[@jccorder1]

Another great video. Love the big dozer. Off topic, I was glad to see Captain K get the 555 going, I know he appreciates your help.

[@thomasbailey8306]

Those old Dozers are Great old Machines...I loved operating them back when I was younger...Great Video Clint....

[@mharris8652]

another great video Clint, as for your crane skills can find no fault at all. The first time ever done no one injured and job done what more can you ask, remember there is always a fan in the stands that can do it better but you will never get them to put the hot dog down and come and show you. Keep the videos coming and I will keep the thumbs up one them all, I have been subbed for a long time now.

[@larryshillings6672]

That's two of us M Harris lol

[@glynngrauer3962]

Goodmorning Afternoon and evening all

[@rhiekel]

You guys come across as good old boys trying to figure things out, but in fact you flat ass know your stuff. Love your solutions !!

[@thebear5454]

Phew, that ain't no Tonka toy for sure Clint. I can see why the blade had to come off when you brought it home. Great stuff.

[@rickerb7196]

Super great video!! The humor your crew shares always always always makes a team better performance wise, as long as the humor doesn't go too far into hurting guys feelings!!

[@johnroberts8475]

Handy having that crane for heavy stuff like this blade and as usual another good video guys you have me laughing at your antics. 👋

[@paulalexander8305]

You'll get Her Right ! And she'll be Right !!!!

[@ronvera8798]

Actually, you folks are awesome actually.

[@marilynhansen3337]

The D8 seams so much bigger than a D7, I think maybe you should try to find a D9, D10 and D11 to put a blade on for us to WATCH YOU.

[@leol1682]

Love videos like this one , man you know Alost mécaniques Clint and Kevin too .

[@billypelkey4766]

Good to see you Kevin n Clint❤ another great project

[@sirmister4411]

Those d8ks were very where years ago town and landfills river bed work construction site those k machine would just push and push and not even break a sweat they were around for a long time that series. . I don’t miss them. Loved it when enclosed cabs came the best thing in the world glad I’m retired (semi) wouldn’t get on one of those ever again

[@ronpearce5777]

Fantastic. You painted it cat yellow. Those blade arm joints fit better than my knee joints. For 70000 lbs it’s amazingly nimble even at really low engine revs. Great video again lads. Looking forwards to seeing The final paint job.

[@frankcooper6911]

But !! Clinton ! You Stuff is Really Good ! Thanks for D.P. for bringing you in !!! Geat Jobs Brother and the Speashle Guy ! LoL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@billtopka2584]

Big blade for a big dozer! 😎👍

[@jasonthompson6255]

We believe you work and know what you're doing clinton...kevins chuckle was evil watching you struggle with the rattle gun

[@everestyeti]

Thanks for taking the time to share with us Clint, I am surprised you haven't been able to upgrade your crane, only knowing what a good salesman you are, thought by now you would have sold it to DP 😂🤣😂🤗 When that blade dropped, I honestly thought you were going to bury it.

[@royordway9157]

We all know the blade arms are long, but when you had them leaning against the eve of the building it really put it into perspective.

[@spencer6764]

👍🏻👍🏻 🤣👉 Nut pour Kevin. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

[@jimbo5056]

Loving the issues you find and fix before selling. You're a cut above the rest with your attention to all the details. I am sure Picasso and Rembrandt will do the old iron justice! Big shout out for helping the Cap'n with triple5. Keep safe so we can enjoy more videos guys.😄

[@FishFind3000]

Yea, the 1080p doesn’t look that clear. Might be something with the rendering

[@AndrewAlfaro-db1dr]

Clint, what would you do without Kevin? I don’t think the channel would be the same or as exciting. Both of you make this channel.

For the longest time I couldn't figure out who Kevin reminded me of, then came the giggle while the air gun was putting away. Kevin, looks like an grown up version of Bobby from King of the Hill. C'mon someone give us a "dammit Bobby" on camera.

Punch holder 'fun fact of the day', @ 22:26 when holding a punch while someone else swings the hammer(even if you are swinging the hammer), turn your hand upside down. That way, when they miss a bit, the hammer hits the meaty side of your hand, not the boney side. 😎
