I'm on my third week. I got hired without experience but every inch of me wanting to learn. Worked a couple oil leaks, full service on a transmission, hydraulic drain and filter change, differential service, welding, shoveling, greasing some plants in the pit, addressed a hydraulic leak in a skid steer....I love it all!! Its not easy work and you gotta pay attention. Confidence is a must. Knowing that i could some day be punching jobs out myself for the company is what really interests me. They are teaching me which reflects my pay but i do not care. It will all be worth it. These machines we work on are incredibly important. Some of the materials couldn't exist without them or the crew. I'm proud of who i work for and what i do.
Admire you in 1000 ways!!.. I have been n automotive shop owner many years, what you do and your pride in workmanship is Purely what America was Built on!
Im a Natural Gas Generator Technician up in ND always out in the field 24/7 for 2 weeks on and 1 week off. Love seeing the videos of your guys shop and shop life. Love the videos man keep it up 👍
Im mostly backyard mechanic and an under rated lube tech i wish i could be this clean and precise when im working im always fucking shit up especially working in the rust belt. I always get the job done though
Hey man, Ohio cat employee here. This is awesome, haven't seen too many like us able to put together a video like this. Awesome job, keep it up and stay safe. And remember, safely home, everyone, everyday!!
Hey, great video. I worked at the Cat dealer in Miami (Kelly Tractor) for 35 years and have since retired. I did mainly hydraulics- all the transmissions that came in, hyd pumps, converters and valves. I loved the job and it looks like you love it too. Keep up the good work and the good videos.
Ben I worked in a cat dealership for 15 yrs. in Atlanta I started in the main shop as a tech. And worked my way up to the rebuild shop or some places called it a spec shop . I started off doing engines and then moved to transmission and gears . The shop pulled them out sent them to us and we rebuilt them then put them on the dyno and sent them back to the shop. Best job I ever had .......
If anyone wants to become a diesel mechanic, I would not go to school for it. You earn while you learn with places like Love’s truck stop. They’ll start you off as a tech, doing tires and filters, and roadside, then give you more and more responsibility. We also only do light mechanical (like airbags and fuses, not putting whole transmissions together, etc.). Your take-home pay, and later your commission, will be more than most any garage, I guarantee you. Schooling may take you 9 months, and 10s of thousands of dollars, or you can achieve the same in a year, and get that hands-on experience which means more to an employer than a school certificate.
@@Houd_Vast Do you just walk in and talk to the service manager and express your passion for becoming a diesel mech and let them start you on anything and work your way up?
@@Isaac-muntz it worked for me. I don’t know how likely it is, but if they’re short-staffed, they might give you an interview that day, or at least set you up with one. How you introduce yourself and first impressions mean a lot. There’s places that’ll start you on simple tires and oil chances, and train you up how they want you. We have people coming in from mechanic schools that didn’t know anything. Once you’re in, have a mechanic teach you something simple like breaks, that they don’t like doing. If you’re cool with the shop manager, you can work on those jobs and give the labor to the mechanic. It’s something you learn over time, so one’s you get down drum and rotor breaks, then you’ll know how to replace a wheel drum, or the wheel hub if it’s leaking, because you’ve worked on tires, rotor and breaks. Sometimes you’ll get a roadside, find out an airline is cut and it’s not just a flat tire, so you come back after replacing the tire, and the mechanic goes out. If it’s not busy, ask to join the mechanic. Replacing an airline is easy, and if you’re doing roadside starting off as a tech, it’s more knowledge for you. Keep building like that. In a few months to a year, it will be a lot easier to find a job anywhere as a mechanic.
I love how immaculate you keep your tool chest (at beginning of video). I am the same way. Attention to detail leads to a great career with no limits on success! Funny how I bought the same Milwaukee headlamp last weekend! A great quality, lightweight lamp at a nice price! Excellent video......thanks for giving us insight into your work!
New Generator mechanic here former heavy truck and heavy equipment mechanic For 10+ years. My boss is a former Cat Gen Master tech. We work on quite a few cats, great engines for generators! Awesome video! Rare to get any inside footage inside a dealer like this. Seems like Cat is especially secretive. Keep up the good work. Looks like your a multi-talented guy! With your electrician experience you would be a highly desirable Generator Mechanic! If your ever interested in trying a different career path, I would highly recommend it. I really enjoy it! I was a mobile heavy truck mechanic for almost 5 years and was in a shop the rest of my career. Being a generator mechanic pretty much means your 100% mobile. It’s pretty awesome being out on your own fixing stuff. More maintenance then repairs usually. Pretty easy job and great pay. On pare with what you guys make or better. Plus it’s easier.
j_k_adventuring Good to here from you! I am actually currently working with our legal department to see what I can and can’t show in my videos. Hopefully all goes well and I can show more.
I red that in some of the other comments. Good luck! Hopefully they’ll allow you to continue! You seem extremely knowledgeable and well versed for only 5 years in the field!
Christian Beyer hopefully your get the opportunity to move up as quickly as possible! I always told the newer techs, it’s great to be well rounded and learning everything, but what you really want to focus on is the diagnosing part! You want to be a drivability guy and get out of the trenches eventually! I’ve worked with a lot of guys who have destroyed there body over the years working hard trying to make a honest living. That’s why I got out of the dealer world and went into the heavy truck/equipment world. Didn’t really change much for me so I kept looking and stumbled upon this Gen tech job. They’re just engines on a stand essentially so it really narrows down your skill set. But having the ability to diagnose is the most important part! It seems like you like what your doing, so more power to ya! But if your ever not liking it, just no there’s lots of other opportunities out there!
@@Jay-rv6gh Not too bad. My facility shut down for 2 weeks to implement a plan to keep people as safe as possible. I'm in corporate aviation. So business jets. That side of it is still going. I don't think the commercial side of aviation is doing well with all the restrictions.
Ben - Great Day in the Life video perspective. There are more than 1,300 open jobs at Cat dealers in the US. Visit www.caterpillar.com/dealertechjobs to find a career at a dealer near you. A career you can be proud of. The satisfaction in knowing that the work you do helps to build the world.
Christian (or Chris), my neighbor is the Service Manager for the Cat dealer in Boise. He seems to stay very busy so that means there is plenty of service work going on. Great video.
Currently at UTI for diesel and heavy equiptment and am loving it so far, got about another 5 months to go and am looking to be a Cat mechanic or similar maybe deere, Ive always been into big equiptment ever since I was a kid
Training Manager out of Kentucky (Boyd CAT) very well put together and informational video for many candidates looking to further their career in our field! Hope that your marketing team there at Fabick has put something together similar!
I really appreciate you making this video, seeing as how I am a Highschool student who will be attending the Think Big Cat program this fall after I graduate, it’s cool getting a little bit of a glimpse of what I’ll be getting into.
The cylinder machine is badass wish our shop had one lol. I have some experience with some smaller cat stuff but I can say that between sis, ET, and their parts department they really have their shit together compared to other equipment companies.
I'm an aircraft mechanic and I use a Fenix HM65R rechargeable headlamp. If your headlamp ever fails I recommend the Fenix. Extremely bright and the charge lasts forever
Looks fun working in a shop environment I've been a marine industrial mechanic for 15 years now I work on a rotating shift 12hrs a day for 14 days most of the time sometimes it's 21 or 28 days but you eventually get 7 days off I work on cranes winches diesel engines pump rebuilds valves threaded pipe install or replace we also do electric motor & gearbox replace it's seems alot nicer in field work but I only worked in shop 3 months total & did not like at all we often call CAT out as we have upgraded to newer engines & not many of us are experienced with them but they seem nice
I had to re-pack a lift cylinder off a VOLVO L220H but without a crane and without a cylinder bench. I wasn't even aware those cylinder benches and honing devices even existed. Been at a Volvo Dealership in Texas for the last 2 years. It would be cool to work on CAT later on in the future.
Great vid man, I work in mines in Australia, little tip with the electrical side. When you are twisting cables into bp's or any terminals try to make sure the cable doesn't get twisted and is only twisted at the exposed copper. Apart from that man, love your work, from down under!
Thats awesome to get to watch you guys are the difference between a good dealer and a great dealer. I'm not sure if CAT does this or not but I've noticed with some of the newer sales personal they are really knowledgeable on the tech of the machines but it seems they would benefit from some lessons from the mechanics going over the mechanical side of each category of equipment. It goes a long way with a buyer to feel like they are working with someone that actually has some time invested into understanding a particular machine.
Retired for 10 years now, but put in 45 years as a Cat mechanic so I have to ask the question on the haul truck...I’m sure you did, but did you make sure there was no coolant contamination from the transmission cooler? As you know, it doesn’t take much coolant contamination to gum up the works in those transmissions. Nice vid, nice shop and I can see why you moonlight with that Snap-On setup you’ve got there 👍👍👍
Siskiyou Woodsmann yes, that was another possibility I kept in mind. And we did change the cooler. The only issue I would see with that is the fact that transmission oil pressure is running at much higher psi then coolant pressure so the transfer would most likely be the opposite direction.
Christian Beyer , Your correct when the machine is running, but not when it’s shut down with zero oil pressure and 15 psi coolant pressure, that’s when the transfer takes place☝️🤔
Hey man nice video! Just some more information on those articulated trucks if you don’t already know, I work in F/S for CAT in Arizona and I’ve done a bunch of these transmissions in 735, 740 & 745 B’s & C’s for transmission problems... slipping or clutch fill calibrations. Don’t forget your service letters on these transmissions they are a know problem over here everything the ones that have be reworked are starting to fail in the same way all over again. Hopefully CAT will get these figures out and fixed for good.
nice job and a clean place, but an advice is that i would not recommend resting clean parts on pigmat. it will cause for contamination in the transmission.
Always like your videos. Be careful with the service letters. I also work at a Cat dealer and know they are confidential. Subscribed and waiting on your next video!
Nice & simple stuff here.. good to see something different on RUclips... was all very interesting. I see a lot of potential with this channel... gives off a Andrew Camarata vibe too it. Got my subscription.
I seen your other video about your box .your truly a hard working American and professional. Your work should only look at you with pride. Great video and hope for your best future.
Awesome and inspiring experience looking at your video my a Diesel fitting Training Assistant.....watching your video makes me wanna go back to the field and do some real tear down work
I used to work down in Milwaukee at Aring Equipment, and star was formerly known as Bark River Equipment... Just a little ways up the road from your employer, actually. But at that time, they were Fabco. I enjoyed working on that stuff, even after my accident. I don't miss all that operator abuse on equipment. The mentality of "run it until she breaks" is just too prevalent. I schooled @ Wyoming Tech.
Man I got one of them Milwaukee head lamps best head lamp I ever purchased i wrote this message before you spoke about yours lol I use for work in Hvac an when fishing an Hunting an anything else can get little discount down here on them price not as high as Home Depot has them

Loving your channel, keep up the great work.
de.velop Thank you!
Thanks for the video man. Super interesting. You’re a skilled tradesman.
Awesome and inspiring experience looking at your video my a Diesel fitting Training Assistant.....watching your video makes me wanna go back to the field and do some real tear down work
I used to work down in Milwaukee at Aring Equipment, and star was formerly known as Bark River Equipment... Just a little ways up the road from your employer, actually. But at that time, they were Fabco. I enjoyed working on that stuff, even after my accident. I don't miss all that operator abuse on equipment. The mentality of "run it until she breaks" is just too prevalent. I schooled @ Wyoming Tech.
Keep up your great work sir pleas make more Videos
