Three generations working together is really special!
Best learning channel on RUclips for any apprentice, tradesmen or machinery operator. Absolute credit to all the staff involved, everyone playing their part to make this a top notch channel. Love your trouble shooting process.
We had a 544E wheel loader. At 12,000 hours we burned a valve in the 6059 engine. The head was cracked and after some checking we decided that it was better to buy a new engine from John Deere than to repair the original. The updated engine came with all new accessories including turbocharger, injection pump, starter and alternator. We decided to have the dealer install it for warranty. The injection pump started leaking within a few weeks. That pump had a space between the pump and the gear so the fuel leaked out of a weep hole instead of going into the engine. The tech found the seal had failed and replaced it. A few weeks later, it leaked again so they replaced the pump with a new one. A few weeks later, that one started leaking. They came out to install another new pump. I was talking with the mechanic and I said that there had to be something wrong and I asked if the engine had a fuel return line. He looked at the injectors which had the return lines daisy chained together. I turned out that when they swapped the engine, the head was already off the old engine. The new engine came with a threaded metal plug on the return port instead of a plastic cap and they hadn't connected the return line which was laying on the fuel tank under the engine.
Oh crap
That will do it
Great find! You saved them a ton of warranty work :)
Tucker, I started working for my father when I was 14. He loved me the same way for father loves you. I worked for him until I was 32 years old. He retired and I took over for him, over 26 years we built that parts company from a small mom and pops parts company to distributing to 11 states. It was a great ride, listen to your Dad, it might be tough now but you can hear the pride in the way he talks to you, he sounds just like my dad to me.
Clint, I'm a former Army JAG attorney and back in 2010 while I was stationed at FT Stewart, GA someone came into our offices wanting to sue the US GOVT for just that Waste Fraud & Abuse because the GSA (Government Services Administration) were selling buses & cars for pennies. I couldn't do that because of my position within the Army however, those vehicles were already used with miles on them so the GSA will just take the money and put it towards more vehicles or repairs done on the vehicles that may need it. This dozer with only 11 hours and others like it are considered an expendable item at the unit level. This dozer sat for a while and the upper maintenance echelon or the civilians working on the cannot get them going the unit will "DE X" the vehicle and put in for another vehicle through the chain of command and the DEPT Of The Army. It's confusing I know
A competent diesel mechanic makes a big difference in troubleshooting and getting this dozer running again.
A few years ago, I bought an Army M1078 Stewart & Stevenson truck from a government auction. It had very few run hours
So glad that our government takes care of their equipment like our money.
They fight so damn hard to take it from us but when they have it they just piss it away.
You do realize that experience of equipment mechanics, operators etc. comes from "somewhere". And guess where the army young guys get their experience ... and yes young inexperienced guys do brake equipment, mistakes are made ... + if you try to tell me that you don't make at least a mistake every week ... then either you are lying or not doing anything ...
@@aigarslacis4433 That’s no excuse for essentially destroying that piece of equipment, bub.
Isnt integration and mongrelizing wonderful, ruining everything in our nation
@@aigarslacis4433 well if the military had so many of these “mechanics” why could none of them fix this machine? Would you just let a $235,000 machine sit for 12 years having done no work? They could have had a experienced dealer tech come and fix it and then have a working machine… the machine was so new it would have been taken care of under warranty….. there’s no excuse for this waste. If the machine wasn’t salvageable then Id understand. But it was BRAND NEW!!!
A plugged fuel return line and a 50¢ seal took down this huge beast of a machine...wow!
don't forget the man-hours used
@@BrunoWiebelt Pennies compared to the cost of the machine.
Tucker please take a moment and reflect on how lucky you and Hunter are to have your Father and Grand Father there with you but they are also teaching you. I used to hang around a gas station running to pump the gas and check the oil on the cars and I didn't even work there. I asked so many question they used to say I can hear your Mother calling you better go home. Then they hired me and asked how do you know how to do all the things you do at your age? HaHa. They were teaching me the whole time but didn't realize it. Your Dad and Gran Dad teaching and they want you to learn is a home run for you guys and they are good men for doing it. Merry Christmas to Clintion and Bridgette and Hunter and Tucker. I am jealous how close you guys are. I love it!
Thanks so much!! 🙌 we are very fortunate!! Very proud of the boys too! Thanks for watching 😉
I have to tell you guys there’s nothing more satisfying than watching diesel mechanics. You actually know what the hell they’re doing. Great job.
Meticulous, logical, knowledgeable trouble shooting and repair is the hallmark of an expert diesel
repair technician.
A pleasure to watch and learn.
THANK YOU.
I was a 1345 Heavy Equipment Operator in the Marines and that was one of the pieces of equipment I operated. Unfortunately it was probably at some reserve unit and never got ran and was neglected. I can assure you at an active duty unit we would do weekly start ups and inspections of every piece of equipment and monthly A PM’s.

It’s amazing to watch you work through the process of elimination. It’s obvious you have a great deal of experience. C&C Equipment has to be one of the premier equipment companies of used equipment. True professionals. Love the channel.
Thanks
@@C_CEQUIPMENT We really enjoy your videos 😊 . But the young guy should have some gloves on, rather than getting fuel all over his hands. Hydrocarbon fuels are readily absorbed through the skin.
👍
@@sneakypressThese guys run on diesel anyway so no harm done 😂
Well said sir. I agree completely!
Upon starting my excavation company many years ago we used John Deere equipment. Every day there was issues with equipment. It would be a part failure or computer throwing code errors. I got to know the John Deere dealer parts salesman by first name from my weekly visits. We struggled as a new company because of this and decided to replace all our equipment with another brand. Upon doing so it was like a great weight lifted as everything started running very smooth and has done so to this day.
what brand of equipment did you go with?
Komatsu for larger equipment .....Takeuchi for smaller equipment@@KhusheKenworth
Quality American Design....
😊
11 hours, YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK!!!!! Sweet machine. Good diagnosing skills bub. It's nice to see 3 generations working together.
No different here in the UK, military waste millions in kit, either unused or sold on when totally usable. Costs us a small fortune !!
I'd say Elon has his work cut out for his department.😢 So sad to see this waste. We pay illegals $$$ to just live and we pay the government to waste😢
I enjoyed this video. I do cybersecurity behind a 49-inch monitor so living your life through video is as close as I’ll get to a shop full of dozers.
Not too bad for buying a dozer inoperable and only having to do the few things to get it ready to sell! Nice work on that fuel tank and return line, most people would have never paid that any attention and sold someone a troubled dozer! Y’all definitely do things the right way!
Did a nice job.
Why not sand or blast / grind the tank?
It is a real joy to watch the thought process of someone with decades of experience. It is clear that you sir, know your stuff. Also, you had your Dad in there too? and you are teaching another generation how to think through being a HE mechanic. It was also very refreshing seeing you demand nothing but the very best in terms of refiltering, cutting open the fuel tank, making sure you had a prefilter and valve on the line that went to the engine, on and on, Bravo...Outstanding work! I hope you make a mint on this fine Dozer.
I spent 2 years in the Army back in the 60's and it's unbelievable how equipment is abused. Government waste is built into the system. Great job as usual guys.
Every year is a brand new budget. Unending money to waste. As taxpayers struggle to feed their families!
Both parties and the unchanging bureaucrats are to blame.
The military industrial complex only makes money if the military keeps buying stuff. They can't always just leave it with the enemy, like in Afghanistan.
Dozers like that are often part of preparedness loads/stockpiles that are warehoused or loaded on ships for years, cause when you Need a dozer to repair roads & do earth moving you often need it right now if you're military. A couple of days or next week isn't going to cut it.
Your troubleshooting methods are solid. I like the way you get to the problem and get it solved. I could spend a day hearing about your upbringing and education around this stuff. 👍
Worked on International school busses. Had rust in the fuel problem clogging up filters . The tank itself didn't rust , it was everything they added to it that rusted . Return tubes, sending units and fittings . The problem was that our fuel supplier was lying to us about the amount of water in their fuel .
I am glad you covered the military readiness. We want them to have what ever they need all the time.
Stuff happens and you benefit and that is fine with me. Better than it being scrapped.
This video is one of my favorites. It's enjoyable to see Clint methodically troubleshoot this dozer. The word "impressive" is insufficient to describe this procedure. Clint is an absolute professional. Thanks to all of you.
Agree
I’d be lying if I said my heart wasn’t beating outta my chest when he went for the first start. Always an adrenaline rush. Thanks for the awesome video.
Man I wish I could spend a week in the shop to relive some memories. I really hope Tucker realizes the access he has to the wealth of experience with you and your dad like I had with my dad and grandpa. No classroom can teach this stuff. Thanks for sharing and hi from Texas
Amen. No classroom can teach the everyday stuff.
I know exactly what you are talking about! Although it was my father, because my grandfather was dead when my Dad was 12. He was a WW2 vet and it tore him up mentally. He was 37 when my Dad was born. My Dad is an engineer without a degree. I was a teenager learning stuff and received experience to decades above my age. At 15 I was showing up 30 to 40's unintentionally and they where either hateful or in awe. I know intelligence had something to do with it, but my life teaching and experience truly did the majority of it. I started an entire another career as a Firefighter and Paramedic and reached the top on both as a Former Fire Chief and even did time as a civilian contractor working for the US-DOD in Iraq and Afghanistan deployments. I still believed I learned more with my father and mother with homeschooling before 12 when pulled out of school. I graduated with an GED with the first test at 17. God has blessed me greatly, now I just need some kids to pass it on too.
But can you do it without knee and arm complaints? Poor Tucker, worked like a field hand.
@@wink9970Tucker is just learning to work. If he pays attention, he'll pick it up.
This Tucker guy is going to be one hell of a mechanic that will be able to go far in life! His work ethic and doing almost everything without griping, even though you can tell he is not excited about doing it, but still proves himself! Great job!
You are even a fellow Hoosier as well! Heck yeah! :-)
Yes, Tucker is a fortunate young man being apprenticed to such a good knowledgeable master fitter.
Has a very good teaching manner
@@AmericaVoice yall Hoosiers lost a good 1 the other day in ole Bobby (The Hammerin Hoosier) Brockway he could wheel the hell out of a derby car but would also help you fix your car like it was his the man had class
Not exited and mumbling. Thats third generation not seeing how lucky she is...
I love it, a family working together. Teaching a young man to do it right and build his confidence for the future.
I tell ya what being able to diagnose anything to this level is surely a satisfying feeling. Good job brother, some excellent work!
It's amazing that such a small problem sent this 850 to the auction. Good call & a good repair Clint.
Last week on a maneuver all 18 Puma-Tanks failed. So, if you have a weekend off, you could visit us in Germany. Telling them how to take care of their stuff :-)
It is amazing that there was no other issues with engine, not even blow by. Great work.
Tucker seems to have as much enthusiastic as a sleeping house cat.
To me that's the way you do business. Somebody is going to get a top notch, machine from the hard work and dedication of these men. Great video gentlemen.
I appreciate that!
C&C Equipment is hands down the finest shop I’ve ever seen.
Thanks
I don't think that it would have occurred to me the return line until I damaged the second pump. The real question I have is was the cost of tuition high to learn that? What a nice tractor for someone. Carry on!
Yea
It could of cost another $2500 real quick
That was a very comprehensive fix. I am an engineer but know nothing of these dozers so it was a pleasure to see you demonstrate your methodology.
Just a thought but the 'varnish' may have been a tank coating and the blockage in the return pipe almost certainly some of that dissolved varnish that had been in there for years.
As a former heavy equipment mechanic (MOS 1341) in the Marines I have an easy time understanding how they would sell a new dozer that only needed some basic troubleshooting. Looks like a nice replacement to the D7G dozers that I worked on. Good job fixing it
7G is the greatest dozer in history.
Love how thorough you guys are with your work. Here’s another pro tip of the day, if you don’t want your fuel stolen, fill up at the start of the day. I’d rather deal with replacing filters than replacing a broken fuel cap and stolen fuel.
The No Run diagnostics are always fun to follow. I might have missed the fix for the frozen tracks.
Never seen this channel before, I'm very impressed with your work methodology, and giving us clear concise commentary on your step by step fault diagnosis. You clearly know these machines intimately. I'm very surprised the USMC mechanics couldn't troubleshoot and fix it. I would hope the UK Army REME (Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers) would have found the problem and fixed it😅
Thanks for stopping by
US military mechanics have clearly defined working perimeters. Being the average age of 19, they have limited training and experience, so their job descriptions are precise, extensively documented and rigorously monitored. The military doesn't have the time and money to train full scope mechanics to do this level of analysis or work. These guys in the video have decades of experience and the young man in the video probably has more experience than the average military mechanic. I am qualified to give this opinion as I was a US Army tracked vehicle mechanic and we were limited to swapping parts according to a published diagnosis manual. If we veered off the manual, there could be UCMJ actions against us.
I was told in the US engineering you had Starter motor mechanics Alternator mech etc. that is totally different to REMEMBER although they have battlefield repairs and back to base repairs. Be interested to hear if that is still the case. I have grown up in the automotive world non dealer specific and worked on Tractors Trucks Cars Coaches at an automotive technician level. That encompasses all the area Mechanical Electrical Hydraulic. To have good diagnostic skills you need to know how all the systems work and simple trusts to work it out. What we saw here where good practical diagnostic skills. No time wasting or theorising. The guys knew there stuff and got it done. Well done.
@@travelinman70 I was USN during the Vietnam War. While you are correct about the experience and ability of the average enlisted man, you are forgetting there is also E-5s, E-6s, and E-7s, who *DO* have the experience and ability to do this type of repairs. I have seen a ship's Engineering Dept jerry-rig the main reduction gear shaft on a destroyer's main engine. That is a job reserved for a two month stint in a shipyard, but these guys did it in about 18 hours, with a block & tackle and all-hands hoisting the cover. The Chief PO had his 1st Class (a welder) put a bead around the shaft, and then personally ground it round, and buffed it shiny with emery paper. When they put the bearing back, it slid on with a whisper, and we were making turns for 32 knots 7 hours later.
Man your the best Clint and love to 3 generations working together and passing the knowledge .
man I love to see guys doing stuff the right way.. most guys would of sent that tank and let the new customer deal with the issues.. good job Clint
I understand why the equipment may sit around a lot. But it is a bit troublesome that they couldn't figure out what was wrong when you seemed to figure it out in what seemed like relatively short order.
Awesome to see 3 generations working together and the young.mech doing.a.great.job.
Enough can not be said for the quality of work you guys do, and you do it day in and day out. On the pressure test on the fuel tank,it said, “no bubbles, no troubles!” Thanks for the ride along sir, great job.
And this being only the second of your videos I've viewed I'm even more impressed with the integrity and ethic in your work! I AM A FAN! Keep it up. Being 62 years old I'm also happy to see young Tucker in the shop getting his hands dirty!
Thanks
I like your style of trouble shooting this is the way I learned to do it, and you guys are good at it, I enjoy watching you people solve some of the problems that you run into, You are a tribute to the profession. Keep up the good work.
Late comment. Please consider selling some broken bits online. I’ve always had some busted bits on my office desk so I’m sure you would sell some interesting paper weights over trashing stuff. Certain you would cover postage and handling for nice pieces. Wife’s cousin got a massive foot long 4” bolt chromed even for his living room floor. Thanks for the video. Oh US$36k is 🇦🇺$57400 here. Worse than Canadia but better than New Zealand 🇳🇿
Nothing short of.... impressive! Great job and congratulations on that new 850J. Best wishes.
Hey guys. I totally agree with your comments about always refuelling at the end of the shift to help to prevent fuel tank sweat and ultimately scale and corrosion forming on the inside of the fuel tank. Great tip, would be interesting to see how many subscribers take this sound advice on board, if they are not already doing this. As always, another great and interesting watch. Keep up the great work.
Welp... mine's 2 decades older than me so maybe I'll start doing it but probably too late.
Great work! I love to see the kids working with you and your dad. Family values, don't see that very much anymore. And teaching them a valuable skill that can be carried on in the process! Thanks.
This is the first one of these videos that I've seen, and I'm impressed at the thoroughness of the detective work. I'm 78 yrs old, and have been a gearhead for as long as I can remember (which ain't very long anymore) and I enjoyed every minute of it.
Welcome aboard!
That is all good & well however he didn't really tell us what caused the hose & fitting to block & from what so he maybe unsure himself & that would be one thing puzzling me to make sure it doesn't happen again.
That is insane that you guys come across machines with that low of hours. Pretty darn lucky that you all didnt have to do a complete over haul on the engine. Again awesome episode guys. Learning little bits here and there every chance i see your videos. 😊👍
Yea we were
A good mechanic will always do a failure analysis, fixing the problem is one thing, but finding the cause of failure is top notch.
Great job guys , this would be a great addition to DirtPerfects fleet or maybe LetsDig 18 . Chris needs a big crawler with a cab with a heater and air, :)
Only 11 hours that was a ++ bonus I'm happy for you, it goes for shore that simple things can mess up any equipment.
Thanks for the Pro tip of the day I will definitely going to fill my tank as much as I can to keep it as full and save from rust and will keep that in mind for the rest on my life.
I am a very big fan of Dozers, Excavators and heavy equivalent never operate any Dozers Track Loders nor big Excavators I have a dream of one day operate some I have operate small excavators we do hire de for the duration of the jobs we got going at any given time.
All so want to thank you and congratulate you for reading the comments and let your viewers know I really appreciate that very very much many thanks I love your content very much fantastic job you guys doing over there weld one 👏 👏 👍 👍
If in not to much to ask can you give us a mention London England 🇬🇧 thanks so much.
Lot of work for 11hr dozer, sure looks good 👍. Nice job to all.
"was that really necessary" question gave away the man's character, he keeps it cool.
So glad your content popped up in my feed. Union Electrician for 22 years who has always been a very mechanically inclined person obsessed with needing to understand just how things work specially when it comes to heavy machinery and military aircraft. I've followed other channels like yours and can't wait to check out more of your content. Incredibly interesting video.
Now I'm starting to understand why my taxes are so high, the govt giving up on this with only 11 hrs for a simple seal! Good for your shop though and great to see Tucker learning a trade! Keep up the great vids!
excellent job welding. hope it’s a home run for your company.
Randy did a great cleaning job on the 850J 👍👍.
Always
Love this video. Clint amazes me at his ability to diagnose and figure out a problem. Awesome.
Clint knows his stuff , the boys are great but it will be later in life probably before they really realize just how smart and kool their Dad really is . Can’t say enough Clint about your super knowledge and kool teaching .😌🤛
I really enjoy watching you and your team work through the issues, find the problem, and then correct it.
Another great job by team Clinton.
Tucker has a lot more experience today than a year ago. You wouldn't have been welding up the tank today, Clint. I hope whoever bought this unit has taken care of it well.
Thank you I have been a motor mechanic on and off for forty years and have learned a bunch of stuff about common rail engines from this video. love the way you work.
Great to hear!
I think you’re pretty amazing feller sharing all your information and educating people. I personally would rather watch you than lot of other programs. In fact I’d rather watch you on RUclips videos, then watch television.
Great job on that fuel tank and taking apart filters for analysis. Some shops never would have done that. Good professionalism and work.😃
An awful lot of unknowns to deal with.
Brilliant process of elimination.
I hope if ever I’m on a flight from the USA back to Englandland and we have an engine problem you and your team happen to be on board!! We might make it down ok!!!
Experts at work.
Well done.
You might want to consider getting an oil filter cutter. They're not really expensive and it's kind of hard to tell if there's a problem in an oil filter if you're dumping shavings into it when you're opening it :-)
Having been in the Army, i have first hand watched fuelers add diesel to a 30k generator through the exhaust pipe. So I'm not surprised that you've found diesel in places that it does not belong.
Clints knowledge is just amazing This video should be sent to the military and used for training Great job Clint
So glad you are fixing it. Please don't give it back until they get educated........😊
Your attention to detail is outstanding. You make sure the product is like brand new. Great job Clint and gang.
I can see right now this is going to be expensive!!! Optional equipment needed: JD backhoe/loader and a frigin big fork lift@@@@ LOL
Now that the jokin is out of the way, Clint you and your crew are amazing. You are a walking encyclopedia of repair knowledge.
I do wish you and your company all the success that can be had.
Amazing video !!! I love the work you guys do, somebody's literally gonna get a brand new dozer !!!
Very nice content and diagnoses Been running dozers for 50 years. Appreciate the answer on the decelerator. It’s not a Case
I'm beyond impressed. Fantastic work. Guys like you and your co workers and family is what makes America great.
In your own minds, anyway.
That doesn't even look like the same machine by the time you all finished. Also amazing explanation of not only what you were doing but also why and how you did it. Phenomenal video
Tucker and myself have just been treated to a masterclass in fault finding and rectifying the same, by two top teachers, brilliant! yet another video demonstrating fantastic teamwork👏👏👏👏👏👏
Love seeing your son working with you Clint! Great calm direction!
I've seen sludge like that before from a deuce and half I bought at a GA Air force Base it's terrible. They say it's from a biodiesel they were using at certain bases, and likely caused the seal to fail as well. I have heard that red devil degreaser is about your best bet at getting rid of it and cheaper than lacquer thinner if you still have some coated pieces you should do a video experiment to see what dissolves it the best. There is some info on steel soldiers on the topic, it has been a nightmare for some. Great video thought, I always like seeing the will it starts stuff.
Clint. have you thought of approaching the DOD and offer to have a special training class for them. The experience and training ability you have is awesome. I have been watching your video's and I have learned so much, thank you for taking the time to do these video's. Last night I pulled in my JD 855 and took on some seriously nagging issues. You and Kevin have so much experience that needs to be spread around. I only hope Tucker and Hunter fully understand the value of what you giving them!
Maybe one day
Good to see a piece of “junk”turned into a good piece of working equipment! You sir, clearly know your stuff! Enjoyed this video.
The take away for me was at least there is one young man out there that has a trade, not afraid to get dirty and will no doubt have a nice ride for prom
Former Marine Sergeant, New subscriber and future buyer! Great channel content as well as a wonderful website!
Welcome aboard!
Yep did enjoy this video bro, sure a head scratcher as to how the army mechanics never bothered to get this running like you have. Safe travels
This is great to see a young man learning a valuable trade!!!! Reminds me of ME! My dad taught me SOOOO MUCH about heavy equipment as a kid!!! I am forever grateful for that!!!
A couple of questions: 1. How much did a non running 11 hr dozer cost? 2, How do you know so much about military equipment? 3. How much will an 11hr fully functioning dozer go for? Im VERY impressed at your knowledge, skills and organizational abilities on troubleshooting, repair and management abilities! Im retired Navy and understand where you are coming from on lay up equipment. SUBSCRIBED & LIKED!

wow - professor of diesel engines...incredible video and very nicely done. thumbs up...
Semper Fi
Interesting detective video. The first problem looks like the fuel cap left off (after first fill?) and massive dirt infiltration. I have to wonder if a second fuel filter with a very large sediment bowl should be added? Did the seal on the fuel pump go bad from all the unpowered cranking? The A/C clutch gong bad is not that uncommon I would guess in a desert environment. It was nice to watch someone work thorough the possible issues.
Wet sand blasting ? Plug the outlets first then vacuum the sand out ? Have done it a few times on fishing trawler tanks. You can also leave a big magnet down the bottom to attract the shavings from welding grinding the hatch back on. Just a thought!
Yes, keep the tank full and the batteries clean and you avoid unnecessary grief. Great video. Glad to see equipment kept from the scrap pile.
John Deere engines sound good. Tucker, you're getting a lot of valuable experience and knowledge working with your dad.
Great diagnosis skills demonstrated here Clinton and very interesting content. Good to see you training the youngster, let's hope he doesn't want to become a hairdresser. Great video, many thanks
