Boy discard that crescent wrench and get yourself a set of large angle head wrenches. Ideal for those tight locations to stay square with your fastener to prevent rounding.
have you considered the possibility that it overheats becasue there is silicone in the coolant passages becasue some dumb kid smeared silicone on every part there is, or that sb put (to much) silicone on a replacement head gasket its a former army vehicle after all and young kids often think sealant silicone makes everything better
It is not things going wrong that is the problem. It is how the problems are dealt with when they happen.... Stand up and own it. They stood up! Repeat customers tells a story. Good that you gave them credit for that and did so publicly.
This is exactly what I was going to say. Just like Dirt Perfect is working on fixing the dam. Another example of this is... not that the dam repair failed, its what DP is doing about it. Just a group of upstanding people here....
Man, what a beautiful thing. Your honesty and fairness are wonderful. That is a great way to do business. It seems so simple but there are just too many businesses out there who are just interested in the bottom line which is profit. Nothing wrong with profit but customer satisfaction is so important.
Let's hit 100k by Christmas! Been watching that number grow! You deserve it. I love this channel. Had friends visiting me this week in the Virgin Islands and I missed a few... it was killing me. Guests left and now I'm catching up.
Mike, I think you did a pretty fair job of backpedaling to correct the situation to show that C&C are not devious in their business practices. It is sometimes a fine line between actually being ripped off, or just thinking you are being ripped off. And anybody that will be honest has to admit that we have all at some time pointed an accusing finger unfairly in the heat of the moment. Good that you put them and your meeting out in public.
I dont know Clint but Ive seen his videos and think he is a straight shooter and believe he does his best to refurb the machines best he can. Its auction stuff so some stuff is gonna be problematic since its not new. Caveat Emptor folks , you get what you pay for so accept what you bought.
Ol feller showed me how dirt won’t stay ontop a seam of clay when we built a house seat from scratch on a virgin mountain side in eastern Ky..slipped and we had to come back dig it out haul several days collapse our new culverts lol loadin settin on em but lived and learned…you boys are the dirt Reynolds of youtube
back in feb it would have been very hard to find a a/c or over heat issue really hate seeing troubles for both sides of this deal hope it all works out guys
It’s a military piece of equipment, I’m surprised there isn’t a lot more problems with that machine. When you have young inexperienced mechanics working on equipment in the Army that’s what happens. See it every day.
You also have military equipment that is in DEPO Storage (emergency surplus use) that will be auctioned off if it reaches a certain age, isn't rotated into the fleet for peace time, or pulled for wartime use. They may be brand new or were completely rebuilt/upgraded, but after sitting for so long age and lack of use problems will occur.
Really appreciate your channel. I was recently turned on to it from Letsdig18 site. Vast difference in pond work with the challenges you face. Thanks for taking the time to explain your work process in identifying the slope slip problem, the soil differences and the repair process. I not know squat about dirt work but I see real craftsmanship and pride in your work. As for the relationship between you and your dealer...we just got to see real life of true emotions and reactions. Too many times folks want to edit out the dirty details and just show the happy ending. You both negotiated your positions and I didn't hear you denigrate his reputation in the process. Well done! Keep on keeping on.
Great job Mike. Part 2 video confirms all the hats needed in your line of work and another reason why your job is so important.. It takes a Dirt Doctor to make it “Dirt Perfect”……lol… That hillside was bleeding and you came in and packed the wound. I totally agree that it’s not a pond leak but either a natural spring or field run off from above the pond. Saying that, I’m curious if the source of the water can be diverted into the pond with an overflow installed.
Glad you didn't go with my dumb idea and that you got part of the J figured out. I think that green machine is still worth admiring. Amazing how much dirt you guys move and how many different properties it has. Making it dirt perfect. 👍
Non contact thermal gun for checking temperature is a great tool for diagnostic. Sometimes oil cooler coolant passages get clogged and oil runs hot causing overheating or radiator needs Rodded to unblock passages. SCA coolant additives are critical to keep coolant in great shape. Cavitation or air in coolant systems will destroy engines causes cracks and pitting on cylinder liners and will put holes in liners. Coolant test strips are good to use to check coolant condition.
Nice fallow up with C&C Equipment. They look like a stand up company. NYA about the 850 racing. I would stand in front of Mike. He might play, he would dug you out of the pile. Jerry would dig you out only after work that day.
As a temperature measurement engineer for 37 years the first thing I would check is the accuracy of the sensor. Easiest field test would be to remove it and drop it in a pan of boiling water. The accuracy tolerance on a new thermocouple at 212F is about +\- 4F. Thermocouples, thermistors, and even platinum resistance thermometers used in these types of applications will drift over time and can be several degrees off from the actual temperature. An IR thermometer or other non-contact thermometer can also be off by several degrees because they are measuring the surface temperature and not the fluid temperature. Most likely they will show a temperature lower than the fluid temperature. Accuracy is also affected by the type of surface. Grease, dirt, paint and rust will all return different temperatures when using an IR thermometer. Let's hope it's a simple fix! Really enjoy the show.
C&C only have themselves to blame for their operations success or failure. Every company makes mistakes and will improve their service process when a mistake is discovered. (Learn from our mistakes) They seem like good people, and certainly do what they can to correct any issues that are brought to their attention. "Teamwork Makes The Dream Work!!!"
Speaks well of you and your business to give the company who sold you the dozer to speak to the issue at hand. It speaks well of the company (C&C) to recognize and correct the issue ( proactive) and keep working on the issues to give the customer a good product in the end. It is, at this point, not about money, it is about getting the customer a machine they can produce with and get his customer satisfied, money can come into the discussion after the heat of battle has passed.it’s always about customer satisfaction honesty and integrity, that’s why I watch you guys. Stay the course gentlemen.
Mike, A non-contact thermometer to verify the temperature verses what the gauge shows is the first place I'd look. Second would be the pressure cap on the system and that the correct pressure rating cap is being used. Third, check the resistance of the temperature sending unit. Fourth, check the oil cooler for functionality and what the oil temperature reads against the non-contact thermometer. Finally, that there is a wetting agent added (Water Wetter) to the cooling system to reduce cavitation caused by the water pump. Foamy water doesn't allow for proper heat exchange between the cylinder liners and coolant. I've had very bad luck with using an acid based coolant system flush, as it appears to open up any weak spots in the radiator and heater core. I've been using Cascade machine dishwasher detergent. It will remove lime and calcium as well as any residual oils in the system. Run a mixture of cleaner and water for 30-45 minutes, drain, flush with clean water. Is there a coolant filter on the system? The filters besides filtering crud also slowly release a wetting agent to reduce cavitation.
Having checklists to fill out leads to the temptation to pencil whip the list without actually checking the things on it so the shop is at the mercy of the integrity of the mechanic.
I am running WAY WAY behind in videos… winter is biting my booty an the big rush to get 2 million things button up before freezing and thawing = nasty dirt conditions…. It fear not I will get caught back up !!! On the dam?? I am thinking maybe some hydraulic push on the original base an Possibly a run under an around the original key way.. only reason I say that is I have seen it once an We wound up digging The old key way out an lowering it 12 more feet an we found out the original contractor did not compact the original keyway in lifts… basically they figured Mother Nature an weight would do the compacting… but been ??? Had to figure it up been 26 years since we re did it an she hasn’t moved or spring a leak… I am a “” tad”” nervous about the leach tile .. your 100% spot on !! if you keep the soil dry it can’t water log An move…. But also a tile will not only draw but it can actually suck .. so I am a tad unsure about the end result as to the pond level.. But I have no concerns whatsoever to the soil moving again coz if It can not soup up it will not move.. hydronic pressure is a very difficult to pinpoint. But I think your plan of attack should work.. an I was like 0.0 WHERE DID THAT DOZER COME FROM??0.0 lol that’s what happens when you get behind on watching videos.. but I have seen brand spanking new equipment have hair pulling problems.. so used ya got to expect a few bumps in the road.. my Late grandfather was always saying to me … Son the first thing you have to do when you buy something used is to ask yourself why did the previous owner get rid it… lol Grandfather words always comes back in my head when ever I am looking over a piece of used Equipment or vehicles… ((edited fur a few small spell boo boos))
Never realized those different textures of soil/dirt could cause a dam to slide like that. The dam repairs are so different than Letsdig18's part of the country. Thanks for the education, DP! Good luck with the Deere!
Did an excellent job on this dam repair. You was over doing it which is really good. It's better to do it that way and not have anymore issues rather than do just what needs to be done to make it will work. The bigger the plug in a failed dam the better I think. The pipe is an excellent idea too so it catches that water out of the hill the dam ties into and keeps it from possibly saturating what you're putting back. I think like y'all that the seam of course material was the problem letting water from that hill saturate the back slope of the pond dam. Getting that course vein out especially, putting that large plug or secondary core in, and the drain pipe is the best things that could be done to fix this problem and don't see how or why it would fail again. From my experience in grading and seeing how other dirt technicians do this type of work, I'd say it's fixed and they'll have no more issues with the dam. If they do I'd advise them to put the pond somewhere else. LOL! Awesome video. Stay well. -Wil 👍
Sucks for you and the customer, but that was a blast for us to watch. Especially liked the timelapse towards the end with all 3 of you working the bench.
It's easy to be a good business when everything goes right. But the sign of a great business is how they handle when things go wrong. I'm impressed with how those guys are handling things. Just like you're back at the damn fixing things, they picked up the dozer and are fixing that.
Everybody has overheated, just like the dozer. I'm just glad everybody is doing everything to make this a successful purchase. I would've like to see that big dozer roll in for a week. Would've sure boosted the speed of the fix.
Clint is a good dude. Buddy you know how to move dirt and get the problem solved. Your company gonna keep growing bigger and bigger. You and the guys are awesome keep up the hard excellent work. Thank 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Fascinating to learn how you approached the issue, chased it down and had to shift so much material. It amazes me just how much the landscape can be changed in just one day of bulldozing.
I had a very similar thing happen to me this summer. I purchased a used EC 250D Volvo excavator and it had a lot of work done to it at the Volvo dealer in Ontario. The fun started less that 3 hours after it was delivered to my job site. It started throwing emission codes and would not do a regeneration. Long story short the dealer sent the field mechanic out three times and he finally determined that it needed a wiring harness replaced. They decided it would be best to take the machine back to there shop 4 hours away and do the work there so they brought me a brand new EC 200E as a loaner to use while my machine was getting fixed. 3 weeks later they sent it back and picked up the loaner. It ended up they had to replace 2 wiring harnesses and while they had it they replaced the rear main crankshaft seal because it was leaking. The moral of my story is there are good dealers out there that want to make things right and that is what good customer service is all about. It sure makes me feel good when I hear a story like this. I’m sure they will get it figured out for you.
I’ve been an operator for years but never built a pond and I have heard about a material that comes in big one or two ton super bags that can be spread on the lining of ponds that don’t have very good clay content.
I love that Jerry is doing more in the video i am sure that he is a mountian of knowlage for you when he works for you and that in thee video he and you agree with what you found out to be the problem with the Dam your working on . the company that you got the dozzer from is working with you to get the problems fixed on int that shows the company is a great company so big shout out to them . fantastic video always enjoy the content you put out
DP, hate that the 850J is giving you a fit praying they can fix it, another fantastic 5 ⭐ video keep up the good work see you on the next one God bless y'all from South Carolina viewer
I call the surface soil as in Top soil. I call under that dirt and rock. The top is soil since it has been soiled by plant and animal. Tile is great - it will dry the dam and not allow it to get mushy under the dam.
It’s hard to tell in the video if it’s white slip clay but if it is water can’t penetrate it and everything above it will usually slip if water and an incline are present. Great Video
that is a lot of Dirt ,, soil is something you put in pots to grow flowers or on top of dirt for grass ,,, could use LT DAN to move the dirt so you don't have to push it so far ,, looking great ,, when I dug my basement under my old house was mostly bank run gravel then dirt ,, but found a sand layer about 2 inches thick .. and the dirt would fall off at that level ,, your job same idea but other type of ground ,, good luck .. great video
Another great video from you all . It was funny to watch all 3 pieces of equipment working in fast motion . I hope that they get the 850J fixed and running right for you . And hopefully what that you all are doing with the pond damn, will take care of the problems with it. So be careful and stay safe and keep on pushing dirt. As always, Jeffrey !!!
Good morning Mike once they have the radiator out and if checks out fine I would pull the water pump off and check that next along with the upper and lower hoses . You know that when the fan kicks in and you hear it the fan drive motor is fine . If it wasn't you wouldn't hear it . After that the only other thing to cause overheating is internal engine problems . And it doesn't seem to be showing signs of that like needing to add coolant a lot .
I had that same issue of one running hot.. I spent a lot of money changing small parts to find out the radiator had about 1/4 of it was clogged up with gunk.. Seems the prior owner had leaking issues and he used every homemade fix and fracked it up by clogging it.. When I replaced mine, I got one with larger tanks to hold more fluid, It never run above 170* after that.. Great episode, very informative, entertaining & educational... You got also to remember, where it was previously used and never know what they did to it..
Man a lot of people are still busting on C&C like they were on the air cleaner video. I can get their point, but it was a used piece of equipment. They didn't give a warranty. They are working with you to fix the problems when they have every right to tell you to go get bent. That says a lot on their part, maybe it was because of the rant video, maybe it was because that is just how they operate. I would say that the dozer had the same problem long before it became a Dirt Perfect machine, due to knowing how the military does their maintenance or lack of maintenance actually.
When purchasing a second hand machine that has no warranty isnt it the buyers responsibilty to get it checked out throughly? Its great to see C&C step up and fix things even though technically they didnt have to. Great job guys.I'm from Australia so not to sure how things work there in relation to 2nd hand machine purchases And as Mike Patey would say " back to work"
Doing a radiator and water pump on a Deere engine today if the parts arrive. Beauty of it, if the pump seal goes it wipe's out the crank bearings. Good reason why you check oil every start up. Deere had one radiator in their inventory, repairing equipment in 2021 has been interesting.
It's hard how everything snowballs. The fair deal these days is that there is always a win win situation.. society is going way too fast and that causes things to slip through the cracks. I love the fact that they are finally making the apearance on your channel. And i forsee a real partnership with the youtube community as a advertisement platform. Keep up the good work.
I found an article.This seems to say that the overheating problem goes back a long time.I will try to find the link to the story.If you got to you tube and type John deer 850 overheat problem.Hope this helps to understand the problems.
Hey guys Clint also have a channel link below check it out ruclips.net/video/o6Aod-yQmBw/видео.html
subscribed, thanks for the link !! Cool shop, deserves a follow.
@@reeley I subbed yesterday. It's cool that they're helping DP out.
Boy discard that crescent wrench and get yourself a set of large angle head wrenches. Ideal for those tight locations to stay square with your fastener to prevent rounding.
have you considered the possibility that it overheats becasue there is silicone in the coolant passages becasue some dumb kid smeared silicone on every part there is, or that sb put (to much) silicone on a replacement head gasket its a former army vehicle after all and young kids often think sealant silicone makes everything better

Let's hit 100k by Christmas! Been watching that number grow! You deserve it. I love this channel. Had friends visiting me this week in the Virgin Islands and I missed a few... it was killing me. Guests left and now I'm catching up.
Lol thanks buddy
Mike, I think you did a pretty fair job of backpedaling to correct the situation to show that C&C are not devious in their business practices.
It is sometimes a fine line between actually being ripped off, or just thinking you are being ripped off. And anybody that will be honest has to admit that we have all at some time pointed an accusing finger unfairly in the heat of the moment.
Good that you put them and your meeting out in public.
Professionalism is shown by keeping a cool and clear head even in difficult situations and looking for solutions. Done! 🍻
Yup
I dont know Clint but Ive seen his videos and think he is a straight shooter and believe he does his best to refurb the machines best he can. Its auction stuff so some stuff is gonna be problematic since its not new. Caveat Emptor folks , you get what you pay for so accept what you bought.
Takes a big man to swallow his pride or ego like that and work things out. I admire that. Very rare trait nowadays. I enjoy watching your videos
Thanks
That was good of you man. Most people don't/won't do what you did. I respect that. Good on ya
Thanks
They are good business men, the best advertisement an operation is a good reputation.
Interesting process to find the slip plane and cut it out. Very impressed with the compaction that roller gets.
Dang, they really really like their pond! What you got, two weeks with three guys on this job? Just the fuel cost would bankrupt me.
Nice peace of equipment. Like seeing it hard at work.

And to they ain't many people like that around anymore and its nice seeing Matt around to
I agree
back in feb it would have been very hard to find a a/c or over heat issue really hate seeing troubles for both sides of this deal hope it all works out guys
You tend to rant when things go wrong. You don't always mean it. Frustration just gets the best of you sometimes. As does it to all of us. God bless
Thanks for sharing Mike, looking great brother! 👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Stuff/mishaps can happen to anyone..... what separates good companies from bad......is how they respond..... and it looks like this is A Good Company

Fascinating to learn how you approached the issue, chased it down and had to shift so much material. It amazes me just how much the landscape can be changed in just one day of bulldozing.
I had a very similar thing happen to me this summer. I purchased a used EC 250D Volvo excavator and it had a lot of work done to it at the Volvo dealer in Ontario. The fun started less that 3 hours after it was delivered to my job site. It started throwing emission codes and would not do a regeneration. Long story short the dealer sent the field mechanic out three times and he finally determined that it needed a wiring harness replaced. They decided it would be best to take the machine back to there shop 4 hours away and do the work there so they brought me a brand new EC 200E as a loaner to use while my machine was getting fixed. 3 weeks later they sent it back and picked up the loaner. It ended up they had to replace 2 wiring harnesses and while they had it they replaced the rear main crankshaft seal because it was leaking. The moral of my story is there are good dealers out there that want to make things right and that is what good customer service is all about. It sure makes me feel good when I hear a story like this. I’m sure they will get it figured out for you.
Good job guys. You moved a lot of dirt I hope you found the problem. Thanks for sharing.
I bet you got it this time. You guys sure do work well together that site looks great. Hope the 850 J makes it back. Stay safe
Hi DP. Ex plant mechanic here. Check converter temp at cooler in and out. 👍
Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺👍
Thanks!
HELLO MIKE ITS IS RANDY AND I LIKE U VIDEO IS COOL THANKS FRIENDS RANDY
I’ve been an operator for years but never built a pond and I have heard about a material that comes in big one or two ton super bags that can be spread on the lining of ponds that don’t have very good clay content.
Great video bro that is sure a lot of dirt being moved about. Safe travels
"Good job" to the guys at C&C equipment. They seem like stand up dudes
Yes they are
Very good explanation on what you're looking at with the slip and dam repair.
I love that Jerry is doing more in the video i am sure that he is a mountian of knowlage for you when he works for you and that in thee video he and you agree with what you found out to be the problem with the Dam your working on . the company that you got the dozzer from is working with you to get the problems fixed on int that shows the company is a great company so big shout out to them . fantastic video always enjoy the content you put out
Wonderful job thus far Mr. DP and crew💯💪👍
DP, hate that the 850J is giving you a fit praying they can fix it, another fantastic 5 ⭐ video keep up the good work see you on the next one God bless y'all from South Carolina viewer
Mike great video with good explanation of what you’re doing! Thanks for sharing. Kevin
Thanks
I call the surface soil as in Top soil. I call under that dirt and rock. The top is soil since it has been soiled by plant and animal. Tile is great - it will dry the dam and not allow it to get mushy under the dam.
Another great video guys, Jerry is a really good guy. Love watching. Hope you get your Dozer sorted out and fixed.
It’s hard to tell in the video if it’s white slip clay but if it is water can’t penetrate it and everything above it will usually slip if water and an incline are present. Great Video
Crazy how it looks on camera. Don't look like near enough dirt to build it back. Good luck w this an fixing ol greeny
that is a lot of Dirt ,, soil is something you put in pots to grow flowers or on top of dirt for grass ,,, could use LT DAN to move the dirt so you don't have to push it so far ,, looking great ,, when I dug my basement under my old house was mostly bank run gravel then dirt ,, but found a sand layer about 2 inches thick .. and the dirt would fall off at that level ,, your job same idea but other type of ground ,, good luck .. great video
Another great video from you all . It was funny to watch all 3 pieces of equipment working in fast motion . I hope that they get the 850J fixed and running right for you . And hopefully what that you all are doing with the pond damn, will take care of the problems with it. So be careful and stay safe and keep on pushing dirt.
As always, Jeffrey !!!
Good morning Mike once they have the radiator out and if checks out fine I would pull the water pump off and check that next along with the upper and lower hoses . You know that when the fan kicks in and you hear it the fan drive motor is fine . If it wasn't you wouldn't hear it . After that the only other thing to cause overheating is internal engine problems . And it doesn't seem to be showing signs of that like needing to add coolant a lot .
Stay tuned
@@DirtPerfect Does this mean you are getting a new engine ? LOL
I had that same issue of one running hot.. I spent a lot of money changing small parts to find out the radiator had about 1/4 of it was clogged up with gunk.. Seems the prior owner had leaking issues and he used every homemade fix and fracked it up by clogging it.. When I replaced mine, I got one with larger tanks to hold more fluid, It never run above 170* after that.. Great episode, very informative, entertaining & educational... You got also to remember, where it was previously used and never know what they did to it..
Yup stay tuned
A big job. Good video.
Thanks 👍
Man a lot of people are still busting on C&C like they were on the air cleaner video. I can get their point, but it was a used piece of equipment. They didn't give a warranty. They are working with you to fix the problems when they have every right to tell you to go get bent. That says a lot on their part, maybe it was because of the rant video, maybe it was because that is just how they operate. I would say that the dozer had the same problem long before it became a Dirt Perfect machine, due to knowing how the military does their maintenance or lack of maintenance actually.
...good one, stay safe and have a great weekend...
Thanks, you too!
Good video, Mike. Thank the Lord for Jerry and the 850B; I hope that they can get the 850J back to you in good health real soon.
When purchasing a second hand machine that has no warranty isnt it the buyers responsibilty to get it checked out throughly? Its great to see C&C step up and fix things even though technically they didnt have to. Great job guys.I'm from Australia so not to sure how things work there in relation to 2nd hand machine purchases And as Mike Patey would say " back to work"
Check video of the purchase
It is really looking good I love it
Thanks
Like the way you explain what is going on, helps me know what you are doing
Doing a radiator and water pump on a Deere engine today if the parts arrive. Beauty of it, if the pump seal goes it wipe's out the crank bearings. Good reason why you check oil every start up. Deere had one radiator in their inventory, repairing equipment in 2021 has been interesting.
Nice job by all Thanks for sharing 👍
It's hard how everything snowballs. The fair deal these days is that there is always a win win situation.. society is going way too fast and that causes things to slip through the cracks. I love the fact that they are finally making the apearance on your channel. And i forsee a real partnership with the youtube community as a advertisement platform. Keep up the good work.
I found an article.This seems to say that the overheating problem goes back a long time.I will try to find the link to the story.If you got to you tube and type John deer 850 overheat problem.Hope this helps to understand the problems.
Awesome video 👍hopefully they get the 850j up and running
thanks
