Can't Beat A CAT, That Machine Was Built In The Aurora, Il. Plant In The Late 70's. My Brother Was The Line Supervisor For That Machine! Man That Thing Brings Back GREAT Memories For Me!! Later Brother, Peace-Out!!
I have such a smile on my face. Y'all taking care of each other. I appreciate you highlighting Ryan's landfill and the importance of his business. What Ryan does led me to our local C&D landfill where I've been able to unload yard debris. Thanks for sharing this, Chris.
I'd love to see C&C restore that 235 that's the first excavator I ever saw as a kid so it holds a special place in my heart as well as the old cat 950 loader
My dad operated a Cat 245B for years digging in the local gravel pit in Oregon. I used to go down to after school and ride on dad's lap on the 245B. It was the first excavator I operated. I would go down with him to change the buckets occasionally on a satutday morning. I thought it was incredible to operate such a large machine. That is when he taught me how to operate one of the loaders at the pit.
Dang, right in my childhood. Granddad had a 225 then a 225D LC for his excavation business. Nothing will make me smile like seeing an old 200 series still able to do some work.
I really enjoy seeing old equipment that’s still able to pull their weight and get the job done when needed. That excavator just needs a little TLC but she still has a lot of life left in her. That bulldozer can still push with the best of them. That’s a big landfill with a lot of moving parts. He not only runs a landfill, he produces a lot of much needed materials.
Same as my machine, the oil leak is coming from the brake between the drive motor and final drive. Run mine every year on the farm, placed a 18000lb septic tank with it this year!
Nothing like the purr of a Big Cat. May need some fluids! No kidding. "Old girl ain't fast anymore but she's strong". Bet it was really loud. Ryan is a lot of fun. Chris I know you have enjoyed your time away to relax and catch up with some Buds. Have a safe trip home.
Just think, after running your 220, the cat 235 seems like a brand new machine 😂😂. You need something like that for when you have a house to tear down for Geoff. You wouldn't have to worry about damages 😂😂. I'm glad you are having fun on vacation.
Hey chris & Ryan !! The 1st cat 235 was 1981 at 37 tons weight !!! Good to see her working again for sure !!! ""OL"" Diesel Creek Matt would be sad to see her go for scrap metal !!! Thanks for showing the landfill operation again !! 👍👍👍👍👍
@@TheRealMrDiGG Well !! Tried to find the date for your Dad's dozer ,,but No record of it !! Have a good day & Thanks for your time with Chris !! 👍👍👍👍👍
A couple of grand old machines which have seen many obvious hours of work - still alive even with 'stick' stoppers. Mr Digg's business has come along way from the early days of both.
That excavator had really straight sheet metal for it's age and the motor sounded good. A little work and it would look better, but a long ways from the comfort and speed of the new machines.
Worked for company that had 4 of those old girls, that went through a full cat rebuild. In a ten hr day the fuel truck would need the top u off twice a day. Great old machine
I had a 225 and a 235 back in the day, I sold the 235 to a guy in New Mexico, and the 225 is still kicking around, sold it to the neighbor 20+ years ago, old iron runs forever.
Brings back memories of being waist deep in a swamp, helping walk a track back on a 40 ton Liebherr. The worst part was that the operator who dropped the track knew he had a faulty tensioner before he went in there! 😒
I used to operate these cats in Australia about 35 years ago Cleary brothers in Wollongong had a 235 on a river bed it started to sink in the soft sand had to drag it with the bucket as it was sitting on the belly pan it was a touchy situation but got it out ok
That is a long way to drive it in this condition I hope the trailer is closer. The white is foamy hydraulic oil. Wow no Pony on the old dozer, I suspect it would be easier for a single engine for earlier Japanese designers in the early day when they needed them everywhere. Nice show. I thought you were buying the first one. Such a nice one to work.
@triplehelper6944 most 3208 engines in the truck side only had about 250hp in the marine side they would be up to 600hp. Plus it's a V8 engine. I personally dislike all v8 diesels. 32 series 34 series and 35 series. Inline diesels are just more reliable in my opinion.
I am 73 years old Started in the excavating Business From 17 to 67 At least cat 2 25 2 35 And 245 were the best Excavators that were ever made They were strong Easy to keep running and running
I really enjoy the love you have for the "Old" Machines Chris !! I bet everywhere you go , if there is an Old Machine around, you have to go check it out and get it fired up and give it a good test run !! lolol... Man, don't it seem like the old machines just have the Power !! that Grunt to them !! I mean , the New Machines are Great , with all the Bells and Whistles that come on them today but, just not the same as the ones from the old days !! Great as Always Man, Have a Great Evening, And, On too the Next !!
Back in the 80s' I drove a roll-off for Roy Strom Company and we had an account with Planters. A couple of times a month we'd haul a 20-yarder full of all types of peanut products to the dump. Talk about a popular pile of refuse, all types of peanut products with little more wrong with them than a crooked label on the jars of every type of peanuts you can imagine or the bags, although perfectly sealed, had gone through the sealer when the bagging material was crooked. The crowd around the pile of stuff was insane, even the dozer guys were elbows deep. We would tell the spotters what we had and they would have us dump off to the side and no pusher ever touched the pile. It would disappear over the course of the day until ever item salvageable had been picked up.
Chris, i Think this Cat Excavator make a good Picture on Your Farm by the Dragline.. Shop this Cat and load him on a Long Loader. And the Brother from Betty . Two Machine for Your Museum. And You ❤️
CAT 3406...It produces a horsepower of 310-425 hp and a torque of 1090-1460 lb-ft. This engine was produced from 1973 to 1987 and was primarily used in heavy-duty trucks, construction equipment, and generators.
Those older machines will be.purring right along long after the newer.ones get junked.for.emisson problems or electrical problems. The trackhoe fired up like it was used yesterday. The dozer is just grumpy and needs a little pick me up to get wound up but is ready to put a full day in when she does.
Lick of paint, bit of track tension. put it in Richey Bros. Matt will buy it... 😄
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Aww hell Matt or Sam would buy it as is! Things mint!
Skip the paint
Lol
Andrew says fresh paint makes it look freshly painted

thats cool to know!

Great series. Thanks for taking us along. Old iron rules!

I was thinking the same thing! Bring this old iron back to life!
👍🙂

Always great to see you guys hang out and play with the old machines. You guys need dirt perfect there too.
That old kitty-Cat just needs some love! She still purrs like a kitten!
Glad you visited Mr. DIGGS was so much fun watching you guys
Sure made for great viewing bro and cheers for letting us tag along. Safe travels y'all. Ken.

lots of fun at the recycling plant. thanks for sharing Chris..
I enjoy collaboration videos. They must be absurdly complicated to pull together. I appreciate that.
. . .this is gold, . .reminiscing on older machines. . . keep 'Em ticking over !
I remember when you visited this land fill the first time, it's amazing all the "junk" tossed out.
Take it to Clint and the boys at C&C! Bring it back to life!
Same as my machine, the oil leak is coming from the brake between the drive motor and final drive.

Matt from dieselcreek would love this piece of equipment awesome to see the old girl.
Can not believe those old dogs still move. So cool! Thanks for the ride my friend.
It’s a cat not a dog😂
Careful Ryan, Chris will want to add it to his collection, museum!!
😂 I was thinking that too
i know right?! lol
Old iron, nothing like it, fun video to watch. Thanks for the tag along video, enjoyed watching.
That little kitty Cat is like brand new. Clint would not have to put hardly any money into restoring that little beauty!
Just think, after running your 220, the cat 235 seems like a brand new machine 😂😂. You need something like that for when you have a house to tear down for Geoff. You wouldn't have to worry about damages 😂😂. I'm glad you are having fun on vacation.
Should restore that old Cat 235!
agree!
I can totally relate to those two old girls with their paint chipped, a few parts missing and hearts still raring to go!!
👏👏👍🤟👍👏👏
Hey chris & Ryan !! The 1st cat 235 was 1981 at 37 tons weight !!! Good to see her working again for sure !!! ""OL"" Diesel Creek Matt would be sad to see her go for scrap metal !!! Thanks for showing the landfill operation again !! 👍👍👍👍👍
makes me feel old since 1981 is my birth year! somedays I feel like the old 235 looks! lol
@@TheRealMrDiGGI'm lucky ,I'm still goin full throttle at 50 years lol.😂
@@TheRealMrDiGG Well !! Tried to find the date for your Dad's dozer ,,but No record of it !! Have a good day & Thanks for your time with Chris !! 👍👍👍👍👍

Ran one of these jewels in the 80’s. No emission crap on these 👍🏽
another antique to add to your collection
That excavator had really straight sheet metal for it's age and the motor sounded good. A little work and it would look better, but a long ways from the comfort and speed of the new machines.
That was good seeing that old equipment I did like your saying I'm going to use it. I didn't get this far being dumb.👍👍🙂🇨🇦
It’s a win win on that old cat the right side track pins get lubricant and the reservoir get fresh oil all at the same time haha
The Cat 235 was the first new excavator we bought! It was a tough machine!
Ole Smokey Herky Jerky, my first job laying pipe I ran one of those for J.F. Wilkerson in Morrisville. I don't miss it.
Nice interesting video Chris.
Clean exhaust, purring like she does. That is a machine with a healthy engine. Hot damn 👊🏻🔥
That was pretty cool . Thanks, Chris
Worked for company that had 4 of those old girls, that went through a full cat rebuild. In a ten hr day the fuel truck would need the top u off twice a day. Great old machine
Nothing like hearing old machine fire back to life!
What a great Comedy Duo, Love it guys.
Sounds a whole lot better than the stuff now days
That old girl needs love
We trenched and layer miles of pipe with our Cat 235 it was a great machine.
That was too easy. I was all set to watch you pull the motors, the tracks, etc. 😆 🤣
I had a 225 and a 235 back in the day, I sold the 235 to a guy in New Mexico, and the 225 is still kicking around, sold it to the neighbor 20+ years ago, old iron runs forever.
Good job guys thanks for sharing
that little dozer is sweet i bet it would still run up there with the big dozers
Farmcraft101 needs this one.
Is this the same as his one. I'm beginning to think that John farm craft makes Xtra work for himself with that machine.
What a delightful character the Landfill Boss is
appreciate it
Brings back memories of being waist deep in a swamp, helping walk a track back on a 40 ton Liebherr.
The worst part was that the operator who dropped the track knew he had a faulty tensioner before he went in there! 😒
It looks like a good job for C&C Equipment if Clint would do it for Ryan. Running and looking like new again.
agree

The old tracks could do with a touch of tension, other than that she’s like a brand new

Them old 3406B are amazing engines. Sounds like that pump is screaming for oil.
235's had 3306 engines not 3406 engines. The Cat 225's had the 3208. The 245's had the 3406 engines.
That 225 must not have much power. My fire dept has a tanker truck with a 3208 cat. V-8 that starts really nice but now power. 55 mph max
@triplehelper6944 most 3208 engines in the truck side only had about 250hp in the marine side they would be up to 600hp. Plus it's a V8 engine. I personally dislike all v8 diesels. 32 series 34 series and 35 series. Inline diesels are just more reliable in my opinion.
Love the old. Steel. Awesome. Videos.
Love the video much love and respect thanks for sharing ❤❤❤
Judging by the pilot control console (raised below the boot vs flat) and the lack of a B designator this is a 1984 or 1985.
As Andrew Camarata would say "some fresh paint would make that look freshly painted" 👌
You should buy that 235. Fix it up s little and keep it at your farm so you can do projects there when your 220's are on a job away from home.
You know you want the excavator!
That thing is super cool
THANKS!

These videos with Ryan was fun and interesting.
Old but Strong and Slow LOL. SIX BITS SAYS IT LOW ON THE RED STUFF😊
I broke out on a 235. ❤
"Ran when parked"!!
That used to be THE excavator. Put many hrs on one in the 80s. Nothing better out there in its weight class.
she's a tough old girl
Those old Komatsu dozers still sell for $10k & upwards.
You do have fun. 😊👍🇳🇴

Pacific Northwest Hillbilly needs this.
Nothing wrong with a little oil leak . Helps with the dust
Love the old girl Cat 235 Exc.
C&C can make that old girl look & run like showroom condition…just sayin’ 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was thinking the same thing. I am surprised Chris didnt get Clint on the phone
I'd love to see that!
I guess this would consider classic equipment show.
Chris, i Think this Cat Excavator make a good Picture on Your Farm by the Dragline.. Shop this Cat and load him on a Long Loader. And the Brother from Betty . Two Machine for Your Museum. And You ❤️
MartyT in New Zealand would love to own her and fix it up.

almost bulletproof
For as old as that 235 is I didn’t see it smoke one time that’s pretty impressive sounded like she definitely needs the hydraulic oil top off though
If you watch at double speed it’s a pretty fast machine 🤣
lol
That dozer is a work horse I love that dozer
Clint can rebuild that 235 like new
You to are a good laugh thankyou both and God bless
You say the word, I bet one of your fellow RUclipsr's would have a home for it in Pennsylvania
It's a Beast!!! How COOL,,! Thanks again Chris! Let's Dig 18 AGAIN and AGAIN 😂
Looks like a Deisal creek candidate 😂👍
Ryan u need to sell the 235 cat to Chris for his farm ❤
Thank you.
This old girl should be treated to a makeover. Hello Clint!!!!
Like having a old Race Car 🏎 🏁
How does the steering work on those old machines? Looks like he was tracking w 1 foot. Really cool ol tractor
Chris is like a kid in a candy store.
Those older machines will be.purring right along long after the newer.ones get junked.for.emisson problems or electrical problems. The trackhoe fired up like it was used yesterday. The dozer is just grumpy and needs a little pick me up to get wound up but is ready to put a full day in when she does.
A little bailing wire and a tree branch plug and the old equipment is ready for work.
cool stuff
