I can tell you one of the biggest reasons people do not care, they stopped teaching history in school. The issue was compounded by parents taking a back seat in education and assumed their kids were being taught the same things they were. People have also become so self centered that they cannot even begin to understand the struggles of our ancestors or anyone else for that matter.
If ya want to bring change, then take over the education system. They've been entrenched for at least 40 years. It would take a revolution with a lot of terminations to right this ship, something that the sheeple are not up for.
Yep if I had kids in school I would be working 4 jobs to send them to private school or I wouldn’t work at all and home school them! Everyone forgets public schools are ran by the government and all they are now is indoctrination camps for our kids to be indoctrinated into the government’s line of thinking! Just think about that little tidbit for a minute and you’ll realize it’s true!
Hard work is something today's kids do not seem to understand anymore. I am 74, and hard work is all I know. You talk about the workers from the 1800's. Some of them were 14, 15, and 16 years old with wives and kids. They understood hard work and long days
Hey Warren, I totally agree with your assessment of our forefathers. All my great grandparents were born in Europe. Germany and Norway. They came here with what they could carry and a few dollars in their pockets because of the opportunities here. They could work hard, which was their lives in Europe, but here they could acquire land, wealth and freedom from kings, queens and nobility. Pioneering the west in search of "free" land. What was the cost of that free land? Accidents, illness and outlaws took a heavy toll. Our youth is so far removed as to be completely ignorant of the sacrifices made. Before WWII my father, as a boy, still worked the farm with horses. My grandfather's both watched aviation from the Wright Brothers through man on the moon! Modern youth watched IPhone 1 thru IPhone 15!:(
Our country is/was built on the backs of the previous generations, seems every generation gets a little bit easier as a result, as it gets easier we start losing sight of the effort put in to get us to the point we are at now. Appreciate the update, enjoyed watching the video.
You are right about the forefathers that built a country. people today complain because their cell phone screen has a chip in it. Thanks for the video. Its time for you to be home each evening with the wife and pups !
They were tough Warren, working men are, they mostly die young too, just remember that bit. I have known a lot of men that were just worn out by retirement age and didn’t go on too long after it. It may be better now with good doctors and treatment, I hope so, but damn, bits of me hurt !
I love how you dont leave much at all out of your videos. There awesome. Thank you Warren. It's very strange how people have such contempt for the country instead of looking at how good our values are and how it was done years ago with brute force and determination
That’s exactly it Warren, I’ve thought about it before when you’ve been talking about those folk that keep saying shit like “you need this and you need that, you need a pit” blaaablaaaablaaaaaa! you always get shit done with what you’ve got, no farting about, YOU GET IT DONE 💪🏻🔥
Great video, you are a toughie! Old(really old!) Cat field mechanic here, started in a Cat shop in 1962. Did a lot of those D4 clutches. And a few housings without dropping the oil pan. We would pull the dowels, use some permatex on the pan sides of gasket, put in all the bolts but not tight then taper the dowels a bit more and drive them in the tighten up everything. Usually worked out OK
Think about crossing the Rocky Mountains back then, on horse back, in those old clothes and shoes, no flashlights, no fuel, no McDonalds! The people that survived were some of the toughest people on the planet at that time.
@@nathankisner8332Have you seen the tv series? Its fairly accurate about what things would have looked like- been like. "Gonna go to the store, be back next spring". lol
Well said Warren. Well said. Many people don't know how lucky they are and how easy they have it. Thank you for the videos, the hard work, and teaching me a whole bunch.
Way back when I was much younger, I worked with a man who had worked in one of the Grass Valley deep mines prior to it being shut down for WWII. He said it was hotter than hell down at the working face, at least 80 degrees and very humid. He also said it smelled really bad because of the lack of anything like porta potties.
I reckon your right about how hard it was for folk in the past. It has helped me endure often and a laugh at myself in the process. You are a hard worker, it's why I watch your channel.
Hey Warren, this is getting to be quite the rebuild process. Nice you could start it and let it run to check for leaks. Looks like you’re going to get good at working on these Cats! Thanks much for another fine video. Hope the foot is all better. Take care and stay safe.
I’ve got to pull a leaking flywheel housing off of a 12.7 Detroit. Unfortunately it’s in a Prevost bus. I don’t have a pit or a lift so I’m gonna have to pull the engine out. Never done one before.
I have watched your content for some time now. It has been at least two years. Think 3 I don't change my own oil. I watch to see how solve problems. It's a trait that is lacking today. Also, I totally agree with your rants.
Thank you for the video Warren, 👍 your 100% right back in the days before mining equipment began those guys were hard workers, and like farmer's before mechanisation really took off they were fit and hardworking especially when walking behind a horse and plow for days not hours now.
Both my Grandfather's dug their basements by hand. The one drove himself to the hospital the other day having a heart attack. Just as tough as nails both of them.
I do see the need for good Snap On tools sometimes, I recently sold my 1/2” digital snap on torque wrench and bought the same one from gearwrench. I bought the 1/2”’ 3/8” and 1/4” digital gearwrench set for cheaper than what I sold my 1/2” snap on for and I absolutely love them. Something to look into. Those damn end caps on the snap on is enough to drive a guy crazy.
I agree with you 100%!! Those people back in the day went though many hardships and never complained I bet. & your corrected we are in bad shape if the same guy wins again!
A test drive on the fumigation crawler, what a peach ! Thanks for sharing Warren. You seem to be in the same category as Ol' Jeff Anderson. Tougher than boiled owl shite ! 😆 Best Wishes to You and Your Family.
The mines are incredible! You don’t understand until you see in person what men did with their own bodies and minds. Spot on about the country! People need to care and really pay attention next election and everyday on who they elect locally! This country is in a bad spot. Thanks for sharing Warren!
A friend of mine was visiting me at my shop while I was under my truck installing and shiming a starter. He said "Hey Walt how many arguments have you won or lost while working on your Cars and Trucks? I answered him by tossing a 6 inch x 1/2 Extension at his foot! LOL!
Frank bought a 1940 6 cylinder CAT diesel engine saw mill with a circular cutting blade. It uses a gasoline powered pony motor to start the diesel engine. it does not have to drive down the road, it just sits there in the field under cover all year long. The saw mill takes logs that are 16 feet long and up to 25 inches in diameter in width. It works pretty slick. Debbi's son is training Navy air crew for SERE school this week in Maine winter. March 21, 2024 today's date. He says the most important thing is to have dry socks, water and snacks to eat. Jeff Pinkham, garage owner, was found dead in his pit in Waldoboro Maine in 2015. PInkham's Garage. He had a fire in the pit and it killed him.
Greetings Warren, I see you using the ole nutwreckingspanner again setting the seal, this D4D is a unique old piece, at least it ain't a Paccar.. You are right about society today, I have been a commercial industrial construction electrician for over 50 years, getting close to retirement, now we aren't allowed to even talk to people in a way they may find offensive, as the minute they FEEL their feelings are hurt they run to HR and say the man is talking mean to them. I say time to put the big boy / girl panties on and suck it up.. You are 100% right on the state of affairs in the country, and hopefully they can't cheat enough this time and the one that actually gets the most votes wins the election, we will be screwed, because the imbecile there now has done more harm to the country in 3 years than any other in recorded history. Your views and opinions are spot on. Thanks for taking us along for another great video.
Warren why haven’t you got a pit in your workshop I see you dragging gearboxes and all sorts of heavy equipment surely a service pit would sometimes make life easier ps thanks for the genuine videos and not the bullshit others put out
It’s not actually a mechanic shop, it’s a potato store and used to sell seeds. It’s not Warrens building, so not sure where he stands permission wise, but he wouldn’t invest time and money in to something he didn’t own outright.
You sure get a lot of jobs that try your patience. I heard you say that you like to watch On Fire Welding, and checked it out. Now you and he are my favorite mechanical channels. Bill. PS hows the old spotted wiener dog doing?
Question Warren: Do you put your RUclips videos in some type of file so you can go back and see how you did it before? As with many things you work on, years go by before you are called again to repair the same thing. I don't see how anyone could remember how it was done so long ago. In some cases, there is a little trick that's not in the manuals.
Cool, finally got that D4d shit out of the shop, now we got room for new shit... wonder what cat would of charged to work on those, or ain't gonna happen, my guess....
I am wondering, does anybody know where to get a good cam and lifters push rods for a 8.2 L Detroit also, what would somebody suggest about rebuilding the injector pump?

Not just history... Civics too.
Sadly 1000% right.

"If the right guy doesn't win, we're screwed." You got that right, brother!
yuup yuup and yuup my friend...
you should be proud of yourself bud.. your a damn hard worker...
WARREN, YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB, KEEP IT UP, ENJOY YOUR VIDEO. 😊😊😊😊
I wouldn’t fancy doing that job. Hats off to you Warren. Superb mechanic

You remind me of the ole saying “I’ve done so much for so long with so little, I can do almost anything with nothing” . Good work Warren!
We have travelled to several gold mines in Yukon and Alaska, always amazed at what those old timers were capable of. Thanks for the video
Morning Warren. Kindest regards,Bill 🇨🇦🇨🇦
You are so right about society today,,,us working class just pull our boots on and continue to work.
You ain't gonna have a job if you think that's all you're going have to do!
You are right about the forefathers that built a country. people today complain because their cell phone screen has a chip in it.

Ive been reading Little House on the Praire books and the BS they lived through was crazy! They lived in a dugout. A dirt hole.

This job brings back memories of my days of owing several D5's ............always something.
Well said Warren. Well said. Many people don't know how lucky they are and how easy they have it. Thank you for the videos, the hard work, and teaching me a whole bunch.
Always amazed at how knowledgeable and capable you are !!
Cat used to make some amazing engines.

You are a magician! Great job as usual
Great video warren . Seems like they always are. That's why I watch this channel , thanks for being us along .
Happy Easter to you and the family!
Brilliant work Warren.
I reckon your right about how hard it was for folk in the past. It has helped me endure often and a laugh at myself in the process. You are a hard worker, it's why I watch your channel.
Great video Warren glad to see you're getting that little dozer back together. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Warren.
I saw the the flywheel housing come out in the last video... I thought going back in would be a big PITA
I think he removed the bolt causing the jam up once he did have it out
Good job Warren 😊
Well I see you have had a right old struggle on your hands again
Warren .Sounds good .Looks like you are getting them done 👍👍
Hey Warren, this is getting to be quite the rebuild process. Nice you could start it and let it run to check for leaks. Looks like you’re going to get good at working on these Cats! Thanks much for another fine video. Hope the foot is all better. Take care and stay safe.

Thanks Warren for the video. I appreciate your view on life and humor too. 😂
This was not a easy job Warren. Well done and thank you.
Both my Grandfather's dug their basements by hand. The one drove himself to the hospital the other day having a heart attack. Just as tough as nails both of them.
Thanks for the video
Thanks for Another Great Video, Warren. I learn something new everyday. Appreciate you taking the time to drag us along.
Nice work 👏

Warren with you underneath that D4 with it running it’s like being in the belly of the beast🤘🏼‼️👍🏼
Nice job👌
Warren is 💯 correct Yellow Jacket mine was 3080 feet deep The water temp was 170 degrees
Sad day when that fire happened. They say if you stay at the miners cabin at the Yellowjacket mine, you will hear men banging on the walls at night.
All the mines in the Comstock lode were incredibly hot down deep.
A test drive on the fumigation crawler, what a peach ! Thanks for sharing Warren. You seem to be in the same category as Ol' Jeff Anderson. Tougher than boiled owl shite ! 😆
Best Wishes to You and Your Family.
That sure sounds good
Nice job
Great video!
Warren, what ever they are paying you for this job it's only half as much it should be. Nice job.
Great video once again Warren thanks for your time it's a real pleasure to see a true mechanic at work
The mines are incredible! You don’t understand until you see in person what men did with their own bodies and minds. Spot on about the country! People need to care and really pay attention next election and everyday on who they elect locally! This country is in a bad spot. Thanks for sharing Warren!
That was a bear Warren. Great job.
I love a good tidy rear structure
Great job, W.
Good job.
good job
Would love to work with you, wealth of knowledge and good honest man.
I have to say , that is quite the job ! good to have someone like Warren who knows what's up and still moves forward on the job.
This video has been OSHA approved ! 😂🤣. Excellent work as always !!!

You are absolutely right. I have lived with the same ethos, with what they did means I don't have anything to bitch about just keep powering thru.
YOUR A DAMN FINE MECHANIC WARREN. Probably up there with the best of em here in Commie Utube…
Wow Cat gives you a whole lotta room to work. Komatsu gives you about 18 inch’s by 18 inches to work in. Fun fun replacing a flex plate.
Good job...
Been to Virginia City on a cold and frosty December day. Sure would have been a big shock to the miners body coming to the surface on days like that.
I yelled hey there’s a wire in the way but too late it fell together. lol. Thanks for taking us along
Thank you.
👍👍 right on feller..see ya later 👊
I learn so much here……. Best whispers to you all….
Got er done! 😊
Your foot seems ok now Warren.

We have a D4 that we have been doing up. We know what you mean. The track frames alone are hard work. Drilling bolts out and retapping.
After watching Warren crawl around that Cat these videos, I woke up many mornings SORE/STIFF,
Warren why haven’t you got a pit in your workshop I see you dragging gearboxes and all sorts of heavy equipment surely a service pit would sometimes make life easier ps thanks for the genuine videos and not the bullshit others put out
Like he told you last time! BRING YOUR SHOVEL AND YOUR CHECKBOOK!
Warren rents the shop Trevor.
It’s not actually a mechanic shop, it’s a potato store and used to sell seeds. It’s not Warrens building, so not sure where he stands permission wise, but he wouldn’t invest time and money in to something he didn’t own outright.
If it goes bad, it may get crazy. I've started a plan to be prepared.
Warren,looks like a flat or low tire,R rear,outside on the truck? It was squatting ,you’ll catch it,I’m sure.
You sure get a lot of jobs that try your patience. I heard you say that you like to watch On Fire Welding, and checked it out. Now you and he are my favorite mechanical channels. Bill. PS hows the old spotted wiener dog doing?
How are you liking the orange rubber plugs? They work very nice.
They can't imagine the difficulties of the past much less relate to it.
Purring like a kitten.👍
how true
I own a cat 933 traxcavator that I need to put a clutch in and it doesn't look like fun
Question Warren: Do you put your RUclips videos in some type of file so you can go back and see how you did it before?

What I see that it would be imposable to build an army like WW2 from what we have now.
👍
Cool, finally got that D4d shit out of the shop, now we got room for new shit... wonder what cat would of charged to work on those, or ain't gonna happen, my guess....
So I assume the pan gasket was a success also?
hello i need to ask... im going to buy a computer for trucks??? all my cummins allison out dated.....thanks
The wire, the wire
I am wondering, does anybody know where to get a good cam and lifters push rods for a 8.2 L Detroit also, what would somebody suggest about rebuilding the injector pump?
