Hi Warren just watched your video on the D4D clutch issue your knowledge on is boundless it doesn’t matter what your working on you explain it in such detail before you know it the video is ended waiting for the next one hope your foot is healing well keep up the good work your such a interesting person your channel is one of the best on RUclips thanks for your videos
In ww-2 guys like you stepped up and got the job done and the damage fixed by using good ol’ American ingenuity. And here you are saving the day for someone.
Gday mate, haven't commented in a long while but all is well and that gal is still bought and paid for,,that possum is getting cooked like I said Battling addiction is ruff and it's the channels like you Warren that made it possible (3.5 months off the booze) to keep on pushin
Jpaydirt said you are the hardest working guy he has ever seen. I agree. Man you got to start taking it easier on you body. Im 76 and retired diesel mechanic and i feel the wear and tear.
2/25/24..CAT D4D wet clutch removal...hell-of-a-job getting layers of assembly out while simultaneously moving camera & lighting. Unbelievable deep groves in hard steel middle plate from heavy operator foot on brake lever. Anxious for next video..supporting engine & getting (Bellhousing off?) Flywheel out to change rear shaft seal. Appreciate all your hard work, yur outstanding work ethic & 'can-do' attitude! Stay safe & carry on!👍⚙️🔧🔩💪🍺😊
When it all goes sideways guys like Warren will be treated like gods because they can keep equipment vital for survival running....... WITHOUT the endless computer sorcery and tech support..... Thinking of the midget guy that kept Bartertown running in the movie Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. Warren will be out there in the chase scene tuning up the "B" Series Mack they used to escape, and thanks for the video.
Too bad Kurtis from CEE is half way around the world. I bet he could fix it like new or better. Thanks for sharing Warren remember the difference between an oh and awe is 6 inches.
I have a friend with a Countach. Years ago they rebuilt the trans. Never got full clutch pedal travel it would release but would bind beyond half pedal. Took it to the frame and aligment shop to just adjust the front toe in. Told him the pedal only goes half way not farther. Oh. Something broke the clutch pedal goes to the floor and won't release. I get the V12 and the engine out the back. Pull the trans off the engine. The flange on the throw out bearing pull collar is split. The disk is worn half way. The stepped flywheel is worn almost flat. Think 22re toyota step. Nobody knows the step size. The flywheel is dished so bad when i finally get a shop to regrind the flywheel. The grinder touches the outer lower surface. The clutch guy plays around with step heights to get the cover diaphram fingers to what they reasoned was the proper height. Had to get the machine shop next door to make a new pull collar. Lambo wanted 8 grand and 4 months lead time. Find out the previous lambo shop put the fine spline throw out lever in way off from where it seems to work best. Do a whole lot of other work while i have the engine out. Wedge it back in. I have pictures. It works but the clutch will start engaging at stop lights. Inside the clutch master bore is totally corroded. That seemed to be the issue why the throw out arm was in the wrong place and not a full pedal. Warren. Do you have a post office box for packages.
I’d be trying that number stamped into that pressure plate. You’re right, usually cat numbers are a numeric digit followed by letter or three digits followed by four digit - a seven digit number
Another great instructional video! Could be worse. The D2's prior to somewhere in the 5U13xxx range had a dry clutch that you had to split the tractor to work on. Probably similar in the D4's, both had very long production runs with incremental improvements.
When I started out my Dad showed me how to adjust the clutch on a old 2U d8 . The cat was older then me it was a old slide bar. you had to hand crank the pony motor. I got smart and parked it on battery hill . brings back old times. J >-W-> 🤠
Yes he did. I loved the fact he took the time to shout out to Warren. Jpa is doing a serious amount of work on his crane as well at the moment. Both these guys are an example to the youngsters today. Both hard working dudes getting it done.
Hey Warren, a late Saturday night video is great. I noticed you using a short little air nozzle. If you get by Harbor freight they got nozzles with a 2 foot tube on them, item number 63574. Makes it a lot easier to clear debris from. They are cheap 6.99 each. I buy like four at a time. Great video my friend. Thanks
Interesting how you kept tearing deeper and deeper, in spite of everything looking normal. Your knowledge and experience guided you straight inside that clutch assy
I liked the jokes, I have a few too that I cannot retell here ! I had a good laugh at your comment about calling the operators idiots for pushing on the clutch brake with their foot, I got in trouble for calling an idiot just that, so I changed the spelling to 'eejit' and that went into 'print' ! These days you can't offend the poor little boys and girls (adults who act like children) by calling it as it is ! Thanks for the video I never worked on this type clutch all the machines I ever had to work on were power shift models ! Very interesting.
What a job eh,great commentary . Good jokes too. Thx for sharing .i dont have a CAT in the yard but always learning from your videos . Thanks a bunch Warren Safe travels bud Heres one for ya What do you get when you cross a donkey with inions .... A piece of ass that will make your eyes water 🎉🎉🎉
Another Great Video, Warren. I appreciate the sneak peak at the Clutch last week. How many hours does that machine have on it? Looks like quite a bit. Thanks for going through the hassle to video for us.
Newer CAT part numbers are 7 digit numbers with no letters in the xxx-xxxx format, so that number you mentioned should be the part number. Assume someone has already been in there and replaced that clutch as i assume with its age it would have been one of the old 6 digit part numbers with a letter originally.
Warren, I am surprised some young kid has not latched onto you and asked to just hang around the shop and hand you tools and general helper stuff as you knowledge and lifetime experience is better than any trade school or dealership apprentice program anywhere. Your a fountain of knowledge..................
That clutch needs repair. I have been driving Cat`s since 1975. When is cold it is very common for the tractors to move with the clutch released when the transmission in gear. In cold weather as oil in clutch compartment warms up this will stop. Some times we cannot get them to stop with the clutch brake. But that is an adjustment issue. Most of the time we warm the engine up. Then shut the tractor off then put the transmission in gear. After about about 20 minutes of operating the tractor the clutch works fine the rest of the day.
Hello Warren from the east coast of Canada (the Province of New Brunswick). Would it be possible that plate got those grooves worn it by an inexperienced operator that was leaving the clutch disengaged while the tractor was idling. I was always told to put one of the transmission levers in neutral and engage the clutch when leaving the tractor idling to avoid damage to the throw out mechanism of the clutch. Years ago, I operated several standard shift tractors: a D7-17A, D8-15A and a couple of D6C's. I guess there were other Cat tractors I operated as well before the Power Shift transmissions became common.
Fun couple jokes, Warren. Question I have is how did the grooves get worn in the plate? Have anything to do with riding the clutch brake or just a tired old cat?
Warren you got some great compliments from Jay paydirt he says you are the most knowledgeable and hardest, working mechanic he has ever seen on RUclips
I remember you saying you were having to wait for payment for the retrofit. Did you get it okay in the end? Just being nosy.. . I’m really enjoying these D4d videos by the way 👍
@@westerntruckandtractorrepa1353That's some bullshit! I hate having to chase customers for payment. Does my company have the word "bank" in it? NO, so pay me! NOW!!
Hi Warren from Essex in England,how do you motivate yourself to work on these crappy old abused machines,im afraid i would question my career choices faced with the never ending hard work that turns up to your doorstep
I think of all those men who conquered and settled these places we currently reside in and the extreme hardships they went through, so my hardships seem pale in comparison. Get tough or die.
Thats microscopic wear. Doubt any metal was visible..would only slightly change the oil, maybe someone else swapped out the oil before. You would need laboratory analysis to see what was in the oil

Amen
Love the joke poor dog no doubt that the Toth was the least of his problems after that 😂😂😂😂😂 lol
Good joke Warren,like to hear more,if some people don't like them they don't have to listen simple.
In ww-2 guys like you stepped up and got the job done and the damage fixed by using good ol’ American ingenuity. And here you are saving the day for someone.
Gday mate, haven't commented in a long while but all is well and that gal is still bought and paid for,,that possum is getting cooked like I said
Battling addiction is ruff and it's the channels like you Warren that made it possible (3.5 months off the booze) to keep on pushin

Will the rollers that made those grooves be replaced too?
This is the first time that i have seen the workings of a wet clutch. Thanks for sharing this. Best Wishes to You and Your Family Warren.
Warren these guys would be stuck without your considerable knowledge and expertise
Truly enjoy your videos Warren, your a great inspiration of what the world needs now.✔👍
Still loving all your videos, Warren...... You the man!!
Correct on that- he makes , I will watch them. He is a hard working man with a great sense of humor.
When it all goes sideways guys like Warren will be treated like gods because they can keep equipment vital for survival running....... WITHOUT the endless computer sorcery and tech support.....

What about the CAT parts counter guy?😅
This was a great video. Never seen a clutch like that before. Perty interesting stuff . Thanks for sharing.
Excellent video Warren,you are by easy the hardest working mechanic on RUclips by a long shot.
Jeeze. Chewed that plate all to hell. Nice job Warren. Looking forward the next one
Warren, that joke bought tears to my eyes .

Warren, looks a lot harder to repair than a D41 Komatsu tractor.
Im a french canadian and a really love your video you are awesome!
Good video Warren and Jokes😜
Please keep them coming.😊
Another great instructional video!

It took a while but I finally got your punch line on the joke...LOL...
Amazing the skills and knowledge he has
You sounded so disgusted at the end about pulling the housing to fix the oil leak. Can't say I blame yu'. Thanks for sharing.
When I started out my Dad showed me how to adjust the clutch on a old 2U d8 . The cat was older then me it was a old slide bar. you had to hand crank the pony motor. I got smart and parked it on battery hill . brings back old times. J >-W-> 🤠
G'day Warren ,
Great vid as they always are.
Keep them jokes comming .
Looking forward to seeing this clutch reinstalled.
Respect...!
The earth is better with you walking it . Way better !
JPAYDIRT says your the hardest working man on you tube
Yes he did. I loved the fact he took the time to shout out to Warren. Jpa is doing a serious amount of work on his crane as well at the moment. Both these guys are an example to the youngsters today. Both hard working dudes getting it done.
WARREN, you got to get your self a hot water power washer !!!!

Holy crap what an arduous journey.
As soon as I saw it would not adjust I knew exactly what was wrong with it. Well that and the fact I watched the short he posted😂
Hello Warren. The old land rover had a big clutch pedal. They would do a clutch regular away because of riding the clutch pedal.
That politician opted for the Arkansas Special….
Lol
Yep he was the chief accountant at the klamath democrats for hillary 2016 campaign office😅
LOVE THE JOKES !!! ,AND UR VIDEOS !! , CHEERS
I had a HD-16 that did kind of the same thing except it took the rollers out instead of the pressure plate. Crazy!
Lol on the old woman with a bad tooth,good one, lookin forward to assembly on this.😊
LOVE THE JOKES MATE, KEEP THEM COMEING . PLEASE LMAO!!!!!!
Those are some funniest jokes I have ever warren
I've worked construction for 40 years you can't offend me anymore
What a job eh,great commentary . Good jokes too. Thx for sharing .i dont have a CAT in the yard but always learning from your videos . Thanks a bunch Warren
Safe travels bud
Heres one for ya
What do you get when you cross a donkey with inions ....
A piece of ass that will make your eyes water
🎉🎉🎉
😂
Another great video Thanks Warren.
Man, what a job. Great work, looking forward to seeing more
That happened because they left it for long periods of time, running with clutch disengagement. They should put in neutral then re- engage clutch!
Probably young kid operators that never drove a stick anything.
Great video.Very interesting how these clutches work.
Hi Warren..kindest regards from Canada 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Hello Bill.
Thanks for another great video. Hows that foot doing?
Another Great Video, Warren. I appreciate the sneak peak at the Clutch last week. How many hours does that machine have on it? Looks like quite a bit. Thanks for going through the hassle to video for us.
I like that one
Great video Warren really enjoy watching you work on this D4 dozer clutch problem. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Warren.
Good Stuff
Thank you. Saw the teaser for this on Shorts last night.
They call them words , working words

Hey Warren, Have you had time to watch Mr Hewes Concrete Filled Tank vid yet ? hell of a job sorting that out lol
excellent video warren
"what you find it offensive I find it funny that's why im happier than most"
Good Joke Warren about the Dog…
Back when you said 'OUCH', just remember, it will quit hurting when the pain goes away... 🤥
Ho, Ho! "Where's the grandma with the tooth? 😂
This guy could fix the space shuttle if you gave him a manual. Some guys just have it.

That's the way I was taught too.
Do you think that may have cause the wear (the grooves) on that plate you took out? Or would that be possible?@@westerntruckandtractorrepa1353
Barking spiders, that's funny. Never heard anyone use that except me, ha ha, farts are funny
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great video buddy love watching thanks for sharing
Mac made a handful of special wrenches to do the ajustments. S67 and S77 PART NUMBER. Anybody know?
They had 3/4 and 15/16 straight and off set wrench was a must have for steering clutchs
@@dennisbeheler5466 Thank you! I keep seeing them pop up on ebay. I dont work on cat but might pick up just in case.
Just looked into service truck Mac 77B5/16 offset 77 straight S67 3/4 straight S67S offset I have owned all 4 since about 1983
😂 loved the story!
Awesome video thanks Warren very much appreciated top job 👍🇬🇧🇺🇲
Those were great jokes!
LMAO
Fun couple jokes, Warren. Question I have is how did the grooves get worn in the plate? Have anything to do with riding the clutch brake or just a tired old cat?
Keep being yourself. Good stuff
i seen one with threads striped once
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍... Thanks for another video man👊
Nice work there warren .but it looks like its not over yet..👍👍👍👍
Always something interresting going on there
I give you a 👍s up for that joke.
Don't feel bad Warren your not alone on being unsubscribed lots of the channels I watch are being unsubscribed . It's utube or someone else's
Interesting mechanism. Is this a design by Caterpillar or has it been copied?>
Great video …. great jokes. :)
Warren you got some great compliments from Jay paydirt he says you are the most knowledgeable and hardest, working mechanic he has ever seen on RUclips
U know the one about the golfer and the preacher?
Where are you getting your John Deere parts, John Deere?
A small engine valve spring compressor would possibly work better.
I remember you saying you were having to wait for payment for the retrofit. Did you get it okay in the end? Just being nosy.. . I’m really enjoying these D4d videos by the way 👍
No, still haven't got paid.
@@westerntruckandtractorrepa1353 That’s a fucking liberty . I get the same problem occasionally !!
@@westerntruckandtractorrepa1353That's some bullshit! I hate having to chase customers for payment. Does my company have the word "bank" in it? NO, so pay me! NOW!!
Got a chuckle from the jokes.

I think of all those men who conquered and settled these places we currently reside in and the extreme hardships they went through, so my hardships seem pale in comparison. Get tough or die.
maybe linkage was/is out of adjustment to cause this ?
Love the jokes. Especially the second one 😂
king kong never put on never been out to change oil since new we used to change oil 30 in sommer 10 in winter too much drag in winter with 30
With the groves worn into that plate, where did the metal shavings go.
Thats microscopic wear. Doubt any metal was visible..would only slightly change the oil, maybe someone else swapped out the oil before. You would need laboratory analysis to see what was in the oil
