Will It Start After 10 Years? - Cat D9G - Weekend Restoration

Been a while since last upload threw together a short video about this old beast.

[@justinweaver8787]

That machine is definitely worth fixing in my opinion.

[@teebugg66]

I can’t believe it cranked right up like that! What a machine! The ones built today won’t sit for 10 years and fire when they’re 50 years old.

[@BrodieBr0]

That is one big kitty! You just can't keep down the old iron. CAT made some amazing engines back then.

[@JasonSmith-vd1sz]

What an amazing machine to fire up that fast sitting for 10 years. Are you going to fix the transmission? Make some good content for future videos.

[@davidcoombs1874]

I like how effortlessly she came alive, they don’t make them like this anymore. Great video!

[@gumballer133]

My first dozer I ever bought was a D9g, 66a9560. Man did that machine move dirt, too bad it broke down often and at the time it was just too expensive for me to operate. Now, 16yrs later, I'm looking at buying it back just a yard machine.

[@JFinnerud]

Diesels are very forgiving. As long as there are no air or water in the fuel system they will usually fire right up after years of sitting dormant.

[@ericlakota1847]

That thing went really good for 10 years of sitting amazing started up with frozen alternator they made good starter back then

[@deborahchesser7375]

D9-G has to be the best old style dozer ever built, I need a couple.

[@rickbarger7921]

That started up fast as a new car kind of amazing You must have gone through Tested the starter primed it I'm guessing you did all that before but it sure did start up fast faster in my new truck She's a nice old cat

[@paulhenshaw4514]

That started with much less fuss and drama than many other D9 starts I have watched on youtube!

[@patrickshaw8595]

Buddy has two of these with blades here in Kansas City. Make offer but don't forget- you gotta figure out the logistics of getting them to your place. (Lol - you COULD JUST DRIVE THEM !)(It's not you need roads or anything - just make your own !)

[@kenh9508]

10 years or 10 months? Tracks don't move like that after 10 years. Its a gem for sure though. Would love to have it.

[@johncross8834]

One of the best Cats ever built D9g

[@rsmith8646]

What an old sweetheart!

[@ardtessa]

What's the plan (if there is any) with the dozer ?

[@joshjones3408]

I be dam just started right up like you just got off it

[@Yanbrymenocu]

Restore it bro This Bulldozer is awesome machine I hope you bring him back😔

[@matthewstill7530]

Next time you start a d9g when it starts step on both steering breaks and slip it in gear for a split second intill you feel the breaks push back aginst your feet an old mechanic named Herold Parker taught me that

[@matthewstill7530]

When the one we had quit steering to the left we had to fix it and during that week he drilled it in my head lol

[@rod5262]

What is the point of doing that?

[@ryanpatton9531]

@@rod5262 I wanna say it has something to do with the hydraulics and making it easier to start? Could be wrong

[@richardoneal1055]

But.. but...but...but. Take a drink every time he says "but".

[@eddieweigel9490]

D353 engine there great engines 385 HP the H model D9 has the same engine but with Aftercooling it makes 410 HP

Is your shop near the McClymonds yard at US 422 & I 79? I watched several of your videos and noticed several McClymonds trucks. I'm only about 15 minutes from the yard.

[@markbulva4188]

Use those tractors for pipe layers or side booms. Called 594’s. Lift 200000lbs

[@lucmarchand617]

[@Buck1954]

Hate to see these sit and rot.

[@williamkowalchik572]

Short cut it starts moving around 7:15 mark.

[@brianw4068]

I'd give that old girl a home if I had the space.

[@zanyblakespeed8314]

That was great!!!

[@terrydavis6132]

You said checked the fluids , is that ten year old fuel it cranked on

[@weekendrestoration1498]

Yes it was still held prime for 10 years or so. Just topped up the hydraulic oil.

[@ericlakota1847]

@@weekendrestoration1498 yes, I thought so, didn't mean it that harsh. was smiling while writing. awesome content, I subscribed. ;-)

[@bigskyguy1611]

It just amazes me that people park this stuff and forget they have it. It's worth a few coins. Way more than salvage. Why let it rot out in the weeds??

[@weekendrestoration1498]

Shes retired already been replaced

[@jasonwilson1677]

Worth fixing

John Kerry does not approve of this fine piece of American iron.

who care about his opinions?

[@yuryd.]

I subscribed to this channel because I thought there would be a lot of videos about repairs and restoration, etc. but none of this, so I unsubscribe and recommend it to the other subscribers.

[@weekendrestoration1498]

Have had a lot going on at work for the past few months and haven't had much free time to get into the builds just yet but should be in the next couple weeks. Just putting out videos of something rather than nothing. Thanks.

Bye ! Don't let the door hit your negativity on the way out !
