I bought another non running Cat D7F dozer at auction… does it run and move? Will my gamble pay out?

    My son and I farm at Corydon. Our u tube Chanel is hauswald farms. I’ve had knee replacement and have had lots of time to watch your U Tube channel. You amaze me on your ability to bring an older machine back to life that be of service to many people. I watch your auction videos and learn so much. We have a decent fleet of construction Equiptment that we use on our farm. Apparently you have Ben vey successful. Nice shop and the tools you use to accomplish the hardest task. Like your Pete. Along with your helpers.once again thanks for sharing your knowledge to me and many others

    Hey Clinton,
    Looks like you're going home with some nice equipment from this auction. That old D7F is a beast! Once you got it going, it just purred like a kitten. BY the time you go through it and make sure everything's OK, it will make someone a damn nice dozer. Looking forward to watching the next video.

    when looking at a item, pull the dipstick and pinch the oil, If its sticky, its laced with STP, then put a lighter to it, If the oil spits, there is antifreeze in it.

Sure you guys are great at what you do and will make money in the end but doesn't mean it's easy. Thanks for showing us a whole other side of the business. It was very interesting as always.

    That tractor brings back memories! Countless hours of stick time in that same machine as an Army engineer deployed using "seabee" equipment in the far Western pacific building roads in Micronesia in the early 80's. Hard work, long days but so worth it. Thanks for posting, take care and God bless.

    Larry has an ex-Navy D7F but it’s configured a bit different. No throttle lever. It’s all in the decel pedal. The fuel primer pump sits vertically. His is a real peach. I think it has 1600 hours and original undercarriage. Manufactured in 1973. I was using it today, as a matter of fact. We use it to pull out the TD15B when it’s buried in the muck. Speaking of which, I need cutting edge and end bits for that machine. Guess I better call Clinton!

Does your heart rate go up when you first try to start a dozer that is designated "Does not Run". For example the big D7. I was on the edge of my chair.

One thing with your channel has given a lot of knowledge of older machines, and for smaller operations like myself... older is smarter and cheaper to deal with. Thanks for the vids, and auction vids so I can learn what to be looking for. Appreciate it kind sir!
