- I'm finally getting to the work I got this CAT bulldozer for in the first place. The footage you see is of a guy who operates a Dozer, but I am not a Dozer operator. Hope you enjoy seeing this old CAT do what it was meant to do, even 70 years later.
It's so nice to see your son working with you, it reminds me of me and my father many years ago on an old D4. He taught me so much by letting me try whatever I asked for (within my skills and within reason). Great memories, thank you for filming and posting this.
My father and I had some of the same experiences, my hope is to pass that down 😁
I love seeing these old gals out working. The new operators don't have a clue about these machines but
Sure cool to see an old cat doing exactly what it would of 60 years ago. A glimpse into history with sound and all.
I look forward to the Saturdays I set aside to run the old gal…it’s something else to listen to her dig in and power through a big push. Thanks for the commenting 😊
Young man pay attention you are getting a valuable education
I believe I’m learn a lesson every time I get on this old cat… you got to pay 360 degree, up and down attention being the biggest that day.
A lot of operators don't know a cable blade that angels is one of the best blades too clear with if you know how to use them
Old iron can still get a lot of work done. Operator mistakes, but u know what they were without someone pointing them out. Thanks for sharing the video.
Thanks 😊
First rule blade down at all times. Second rule never back over a tree half pushed up like you did 7:30 in this video. You will damage your machine or your self. Be careful pushing enjoy the learning curve.
Thanks for the advice… there is definitely a learning curve 😀
Wish it would tev higher maybe it will have more power
It was designed to run continuous @ 1050 rpm.. That’s what i have it dialed in at” mostly” giving its a 75 year old machine.. it’s making about all it’s going to make. 🙂 if i ran it harder it might not do so well.
Nice... but the 3T I used to run didn't have electric start, you could always get a putt motor started no matter what the temperature though!
Yep, if I had a choice, I’d love to have good pony engine… it had one originally, Im sure it probably died at some point and the electric start took its place… it would have been better for the diesel if it still had a pony though.
@@Yellowdogsworld yeah but the luxury of electric start isn’t all bad!
This guy knows enough to be dangers
I would be inclined to agree, i included that mishap knowing i would get some flak, its not my proudest moment.
However i do try and learn from my mistakes, that one i will not make again.
"To the comment section to get an expert opinion 🙄
LOL, you will certainly find them there, the best ones are i don't know what I'm doing and they're right😁
Soo glad you didnt drown out the cat with music, loved watching this!
Thank you! 😊
@@Yellowdogsworld do you have any new videos of your D7?
I don't have any recorded at the moment, but my goal is get some better footage of it clearing the land its working on right now.. hopefully with out any more incident's due to a novice operator 😁
I've changed a lot of cables running the 3 T an dry clutch links on one until dad got a more modern d7 17 A series then Power shift d 7 E , now I own a D 7 G series 50 years of sitting on one
I can really appreciate the knowledge you have of these old machines. This is the first and only bulldozer I've owned and operated. There's so much knowledge about the machine I don't have that only fellas who've been around them for years possess. Also, that's a cool stumper attachment you have on the D7 👍
Mine is a little bit newer that that old machine. Built in 1956 D7C 17A! I just installed new sleeves and pistons !
I would love to do that one day on this old Girl, along with a few other things... i dont think id be feeding it as much oil as diesel.
You are abusing that beautiful dozer something terrible,, more respect of equipment needed from you.
Thanks for the commenting 😁 Trust me, I felt terrible when i broke the stack loose, it's been repaired before. The brace bar however was loose allready. I should have taken them off until i could build a working set. I left this footage in to show I do make mistakes. I do my best to fix what i can, but she's got a lot of hours on her, and that can be a real expensive venture. The right brake and clutch don't work so well, the Cable control unit brake slips when she gets hot, and she burns a lot of oil... all these things were there when i got her.
He is real lucky at 7: 37 that tree didn't do some damage.
I couldn’t agree more, I was fortunate the only thing I had to fix was the exhaust. Some lessons ya learn the hard way; in hind site I had just got going good and my over zealousness to get something done; I did not evaluate the tree before pushing it down, a lesson Learned the hard way.
Klasa😊

I got a d7 cat dozer too
Cool, what series is it?
@@Yellowdogsworld I think it's a b series and the year was I think in the 1940's or 50's
@@Yellowdogsworld I think it's a f series but my d7 an army dozer and it is a 1930's
@@Yellowdogsworld it is a f series and it is an army dozer and it was made somewhere around 32
I don't know I'll check and see what it is
Son& grandson work well together!
yep they do 😁
That's some good stuff, bud!
Thanks!
Glad mine has a full canopy
You can never have enough overhead protection, it sounds like you have a good setup. 😁
That old Cat got some dog in her
LOL.. Maybe an old dog anyway. 😁
It's gutless
Maybe by today standards, but it’s got plenty of guts for what I need to do. You gotta remember you’re comparing 1950 tech, it’s like comparing a flathead V8 to a new Gm LS v8.
