I have to give you guys credit you run like a well-oiled machine without metal in it. All jokes aside seriously you guys are very impressive to watch and damn good at what you do. I hope this thing works out for you guys it's been very interesting to watch
Buying a gamble big shame when I saw the crankcase breather smokin equals $20k hit. Your reputation just took a 1000% uplift as despite the disappointment we all know you will fix it win or lose. Great show! Watching from Scotland
Nice video, as a retired Construction Mechanic First Class Navy Seabee. I wanted to answer about warranty on the John Deere/Case Dozer. Equipment purchased for the military does not carry the same warranties as civilian purchased equipment. Most times does not even have a warranty. I also want to add that being a Mechanic in the military either as a Marine Corps or Navy Seabee are secondary to being a Marine or Sailor. There are for Navy Seabees three tiers of training. Military (warfare ( M Training), Technical, ( T Training) , Construction (C Training) Those train blocks are broken down into M year, C year or T year. Out of the 22 years I spent in the Navy I saw only 3 T year blocks of training. The rest was spent on military and construction operations along with the administration of the personal. Seabees goto an A school which is the basic of being a Mechanic and if lucky enough a C School with some SeaBats again if you're lucky enough to get assigned a slot. I was lucky enough to go to crane safety and repair, along with Rock crushing and blast equipment. I became an instructor whose directed focus was military training and I would throw in technical skills training when I was afforded the time for Mechanics and Operators (CM,EO) along with any other rating that was willing to stay after normal hours to learn.
@@ko9446 I did my A School at Pt Hueneme aka port who needs me . I was home ported there twice in two different battalions and a support unit. I was also in regiment there for a very brief time. I don't miss that place. I did partake in operation Sea Dragon out of the Port Hueneme Harbor in one small part of that massive sealift loading construction equipment along with other essential elements for Desert Shield/Desert Storm as a pier Mechanic TAD to a Navy Cargo Handling Group. I have fond memories of that place but no desire to visit. My myself and several other members of our unit is in one of the Military Seabee news magazines for voluntary fire fighting at Camp Mataguay. Basically the main body left us trapped by the fire and the crew I was supervising had a water truck and other equipment when fire crews came across us we were pumping water out of a creek and spraying the area down. Lucky I guess as we were installing Gabon basket walls in the creek an missed the evacuation orders. Fire crews liked us as our truck was older unit that had sprayers on both sides front back with multiple hoses connections and spray nozzle like you see in riot control.
Wow, that's quite a contrast to the Army, where there are tons of mechanic-specific MOSs. I was a 45T, Bradley & M901 ITV turret mechanic. There's a whole different group that works on the hulls and yet another bunch that works on wheeled vehicles.
Hey There C&C Guys, I Hope This Finds You All Well? 🙏 You and your Dad not only look alike, you even dress alike, Carhartt Bibs! 👍 This Dozer was quite the wreck, such a waste! Clinton, after watching quite a few of your video's over the past few weeks, I must say that your knowledge of not just one, but many different projects, and products, has thoroughly impressed me, and that my friend, is not easily done! 👏 I hope y'all have a good one! "Nothing Runs Like A Deere" 🦌 👍 🇺🇲
I know nothing of engineers, the RUclips algorithm sent this to me for some reason. Yet, your presentation made it really interesting. Many thanks and good luck.
As soon as I saw that metal on the oil plug my heart dropped. It’s so disappointing how people don’t care. Appreciate the video of all you have done so far and look forward to the next one.
Yeah, it also makes you wonder how this came about. This is roughly how: Apparently, someone left it in a place with dust storms, with the fuel cap off, after having driven it probably just 10 hours. Then it sat there for years until the warranty expired. Then the military tried to use it again, found it was defective, and auctioned it off.
Great video as always goes to show how much damage can be done by people who either don’t know enough or don’t care enough looking forward to seeing professionals rebuild it.
That was pretty good getting that engine out in 1.5 hrs. Missed Kevin being there for that. I’m betting a remanned engine won’t be cheap either. Would be awesome to be there and help. I’ll bring the coffee and doughnuts. Love the channel.
Clint, I am amazed at your knowledge on these JD dozers, you noticed that right track trying to turn loading the engine when the starter was attempting to turn it over fast enough to start.
I've been an heavy equipment mechanic for years aswell, and you seem to be very knowledgeable and I appreciate knowledgeable people like yourself! Keep up the good work 💪
Just one word describes you…talented! I get anxiety wondering how you think you’re going to get it all back together and I never hear any stress in your voice no matter what you find. So enjoy your videos. Thanks for taking the time.
This build just got a whole lot more interesting seeing the initial damage.. cant wait for pt2 once its all stripped to see the individual parts so we can see just how damaged they are! thanks as always for sharing Clint
Clint, this is gonna be a good video. I spent 28 yrs in the Army and , yes, I have seen these incidents happen in everything from motor to turbine engines. It's very frustrating. The worst part about it is mechanics look at this as " it's no money out of my pocket". Total disgrace. Anyway, another great video. By the way, where was sausage fingers? I miss the young man.
Another highly interesting episode of the C&C struggle bus. Absolutely no doubt that someone has no business tpuching engines if they can't even manage to check the oil before turning an engine over. I'm pretty sure that Clint and crew will get it back moving dirt again. I just hope he is able to make a profit selling it. Can't keep the doors open if ya ain't making a profit.
27:00 I would guess that is water from the pressure washing. The water was getting in the same way that all of the smoke was getting out when you had it running.
Thats unfortunate, sucks even. It is impressive to see how quick you got it out though. I guess sometimes you have to take the bad with the good. Either way it will be a nice dozer in the end. Keep Smilin
I think what happened based on what I see is it was run without oil. They started taking it apart. Something else became a bigger priority and they threw the parts back into it and dragged it out of the shop. It sat around outside until they decided to DRMO it.
Boss; You are so calm when facing mechanical and financial carnage. You must not be Irish. I would have been inventing new single syllable curse words and seeing how high I can get a 5/8 socket to bounce off the floor. My current record 5 ¾ foot high.
A shame there was no oil in it, I couldn't do that leave the sump plug out, the day and night temperature change would suck damp in, that may be the water you found, it's the work of a mechanic with poor skills just having a go. I look forwards to this dismantle and rebuild to your standards, as ever thank you for the chance to see you work on her!
Clinton: You have the best attitude - "sometime win, sometimes lose, it all evens out" and not getting overly frustrated when one doesn't go your way. I will be interested to see how the numbers work out - remanufactured or rebuild. Good Luck!
Great video.,..brings back happy memories of when I was a heavy earth moving mechanic in the Corps of Royal Engineers from 68- 93....we had to repair everything from outboard motors....concrete mixers...generators... compressors..water pumping and filtration equipment..bulldozers..cranes..excavators motorised scrapers...ranging from Caterpillar..Terex.. International Harvester...Case...Michigan...Alli Chalmers ect....when received from new there was no such thing as manufacturers warranty...a lot of special tools we had to make ourselves and just get on with it....I wouldn't change it for anything...
I know all too well the condition of those bearings... I had the #2 piston blow up in my old Freightliner back in the early 2000s and when the Detroit shop pulled my rod and main bearings, there was literally nothing left of them from just the few moments the truck ran after the piston debris hit the oil... Had a Detroit Corporate engineer call me and said I likely held the Detroit world record for having the most damage to my rod and main bearings without scoring my crank... Still an expensive record to have...🤣
Another "master class" on trouble shooting, equip eval and assessment. Turbo is loose on the shaft, low oil/no oil , thats the culprit... Kevin not in frame, must be on Vacation. The crew still soldiered on. I like how well the others jumped in to get it done.
Clinton I now see where you get your work ethic from, your Dad is a machine! The best thing is you’re the same way and passing it down to your sons! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
Whoa! You changed up your time-lapse music. Had to check to make sure I was still on the same channel. You know those Deere machines. I enjoy watching.
I'm a numbers guy too. I ran my own small trucking company for 26 years. I certainly am not a mechanic, but I agree. I would run the numbers. If it comes up close I would go with a remain. Get the new engine in, get it running and get it sold. I too like what you guys do and I enjoy the war you present it to us. Great work.
Thanks for sharing. I know it blows to have invested in something with the potential of losing income for the business. But that’s the game. Please continue to share videos like these I’ve learned quite a bit on the rebuild stuff, especially on what not to do at certain times and the correct way to approach a project with issues like this.
Can’t hit a home run ever time out but you’ll fix it up and someone will get them a good reliable dozer. Glad to see pops out helping and by the way does Randy ever stand still, he’s always doing something when he’s in your video shots.
Most people wouldn’t admit they bought a turd, but i think its awesome that you weren’t afraid to post this on the net. Enjoyed watching this one, i can relate to alot of my auction purchases! Keep up the good work.
Well !!!! Win some, ,lose some !! ALL is a gamble with auctions as you well know !! Hope you can save some $$$ on the rebuild !! Don't forget that track control ?? Have a good week & waiting to see what else you guys get into !! 🤔🤔🙄👍👍👍👍👍
Clayton you and your team works very well together. Hope the numbers aren't too bad you can redo that engine but if you can't you'll have to replace it, that hurts
Awesome video not to mention working knowledge of equipment. I was a Navy Seabee for 17 years most of it spent as a reservist, I would train new personnel to our unit and always emphasize that “this is not your grandfathers tractor from down on the farm”. I got to very good friends with the mechanics because they could keep a piece of equipment if they wanted to. I was always going to other reserve mechanics, they always had way experience and could tell what exactly was wrong before they would start looking for codes. We had 2 area representatives from JD that were in our unit in 2003, a D8 went down hard and we were told it would be 4 months before we could get the part. One of the guys from JD made a call to the parts division headquarters about how badly that part was needed for continued operations. 3 days later we got delivered to us a 12ft x 4ft dozer blade with reinforced cutting edge. Just got to know the right person. Love the work guys. Oh btw that blade was sent to us in Kuwait.
At last someone who cleans the engine and area before pulling the engine out. So many people pull engine out and pull it apart while it’s dirty, cleaning individual bits takes so long. Spray the engine with degreasing agent like Jizer let it soak then steam it spotless. Makes the job so much easier and saves time.
Great presentation Clint, as opposed to some other You Tubers where most viewers eyes have glazed over after 2 to 3 minutes and reaching for the remotes or mouse! You, like Kurtis from Cutting Edge Engineering (Australia) have nailed it for being informative, on point and super interesting, to where I bet are being used as teaching aids at Tech Schools. Hope Kevin gets better, we missed him and his banter, but great to see Dad at the coal face again!
Sad to see an engine so unloved. I spect not all these auction military buys can go well. Surely you'll find a way to make it all work. Best to you and your crew.
pulled the engine to put in another and then threw that junker in for storage. was hoping it was like the last one. Somewhat simple, but not to the army. Another great video
You would probably be better off going the remanufactured route like you said for warranty, time savings, and no simplicity. I know numbers get big but maybe with a remanned engine you can advertise it and get just enough extra to offset cost difference.
Clint I love seeing your pops right there in the bowels of that motor,I can remember back a few years back when Mike from Dirt perfect showed up at your shop to pick up his equipment trailer you fixed and thought this guy Clinton is just the owner/ Salesman and you have now garnered my upmost respect from a 67 year old auto light truck mechanic retired, my apologies for my first impressions you are at your A game sir I would love to meet you sometime great diagnostic on the hydrostatic trans!!! Keep up the awesome content…..
Would it be a dumb question to ask why such an expensive engine would alloy you to start it without oil in the engine....like an oil level cut off switch....
You’ve got a good attitude about that tractor. Don’t know if I can handle that the same way as you have. I hate to see you get taken for on this deal from the Army.
Great video once again Clint pity it had to end like this for your sake it would of been great to see you tearing around your carpark thanks for sharing
I always though these were hard to work on (but for injector pump/hydro pumps and spaghetti hose routing). Simplicity at its finest!! Almost ready to go buy a blown dozer but I dont have a forklift :(
Given all of the maintenance inflicted problems that this machine has, I really thought that it would become a parts maiden. It appears that whoever was working on it, had their fingers in everything, and didn't understand basic mechanics. How are you going to be sure that you have every bolt tight, and every problem permanently cured? You guys are great, and this machine is going to be an interesting video. I thank you for another good one.
Guys Great Video, but when it comes to a reman I have very serious doubt's because you know they are hiring it out to the cheapest dude in town there for I have seen it on a real scale and I know you get a warranty with that but If it craps out not only do you have to pull the engine again THEY WILL SEND YOU ONE THAT JUST LIKE IT I would rebuild it myself and please don't reuse the lifters they have had that metal running threw them as everything else has. I know I just an Old guy but I worked in a gas engine shop for years and we always done em right!! That's Your Name Going Out There...
This 850J was one big mystery from the beginning and a great example of what's at stake when considering a bid. After going through 40 of these, I can only imagine the invaluable lessons learned!!! Whatever the outcome, I cannot wait to see the final conclusion. Thanks for the great video!
Hope for the best for you on this one too I know you will fix it right and the viewers will know it will be a good machine to have coming from you 😎🇺🇸NY
Great video Clint. Sorry about the engine problems. You sure know how to diagnose one for sure. Hate Kevin missed out on this. Wonder what the odds are that the people that took the engine out would see this video and say hey this is why this is like this? That would be cool to find out exactly what went down.
Well that is too bad. But given the number of indications you had when you first inspected it, it isn't really that surprising. Can't win them all. Good luck that it doesn't take too much to get back up and running. Thanks for sharing.
Not only do you guys have your stuff together, you can record what you do, so we can see and learn. Once again, I'm very impressed.
imagine how quick with two hands and no camera!
Yes they are all good.No short cuts at there shop.
I agree , very impressed
100%
I have to give you guys credit you run like a well-oiled machine without metal in it. All jokes aside seriously you guys are very impressive to watch and damn good at what you do. I hope this thing works out for you guys it's been very interesting to watch
Buying a gamble big shame when I saw the crankcase breather smokin equals $20k hit. Your reputation just took a 1000% uplift as despite the disappointment we all know you will fix it win or lose. Great show! Watching from Scotland
That thing probably had no oil before it went to auction. With all those bolts and stuff missing, it was a basket case to begin with.

Your understanding of how the components work or this case not work together is impressive. We learn something every episode.

Your knowledge of the equipment and troubleshooting skills are amazing. Great video once again Clint!
Thanks 👍
I know nothing of engineers, the RUclips algorithm sent this to me for some reason. Yet, your presentation made it really interesting. Many thanks and good luck.
Well thanks for watching anyway
I agree Clinton's camera work one-handed and presentation is top notch.
As soon as I saw that metal on the oil plug my heart dropped. It’s so disappointing how people don’t care. Appreciate the video of all you have done so far and look forward to the next one.
Nobody cares when it’s our hard earned tax dollars being wasted. Remember, next year’s a whole new truckload of money to waste! OURS!
Yeah, it also makes you wonder how this came about.

love the explenation. how you take us with you on the repair. and showing also the non profit stuff

I'd love to be there as well. Love the chance to help out and learn.
Love watching you ‘old guys’ work on equipment.
Well Clint that is a perfect example of not always getting good deals at the auction. Great video with some great information.
Clint, I am amazed at your knowledge on these JD dozers, you noticed that right track trying to turn loading the engine when the starter was attempting to turn it over fast enough to start.
From one tradesman to another Clint. You and Kevin are at the top of your game #respect
Got water in the engine because the valve cover was missing bolts and Randy sprayed the engine down @27:35
Thanks Clint for sharing with us. Good to see your dad in the shop helping you. More videos to follow.
I really do enjoy seeing your knowledge on these machines. Missed buddy Turbo but that means Clayton got his hands dirty for a change!
😂😂
Nice to see pops hasn’t lost his touch straight into striping the oil pan off great content again can’t wait for the engine rebuild
If you decide to rebuild the engine yourself, you and the customer will know the job was done right!
you are so quick getting that motor out and having the knowledge to deal with plant gives you a big edge
I've been an heavy equipment mechanic for years aswell, and you seem to be very knowledgeable and I appreciate knowledgeable people like yourself! Keep up the good work 💪
Just one word describes you…talented! I get anxiety wondering how you think you’re going to get it all back together and I never hear any stress in your voice no matter what you find. So enjoy your videos. Thanks for taking the time.

Tax Dollars. No accountability. Next year a whole new boxcar full of OUR money!
Another highly interesting episode of the C&C struggle bus.
Absolutely no doubt that someone has no business tpuching engines if they can't even manage to check the oil before turning an engine over.
I'm pretty sure that Clint and crew will get it back moving dirt again.
I just hope he is able to make a profit selling it.
Can't keep the doors open if ya ain't making a profit.
And these same people have nuclear weapons! Be afraid, be very afraid!
27:00 I would guess that is water from the pressure washing. The water was getting in the same way that all of the smoke was getting out when you had it running.
This is going to be a cool build .
Great diagnosis, your better than my doctor!
Great video. I know you don't want to see this kind of issues with the equipment you buy but it makes good content for us!! Keep it up Bub!
Great job, love the troubleshooting process. Now it's up to the bean counter now as to what's next.
Thats unfortunate, sucks even. It is impressive to see how quick you got it out though. I guess sometimes you have to take the bad with the good. Either way it will be a nice dozer in the end. Keep Smilin
Be great to see the full strip down and rebuild if you go that route 👍

Wow that's CRAZY those Rod bearers .And that Turbo is Crazy too.Great Video Bud...
Sad to see an engine so unloved. I spect not all these auction military buys can go well. Surely you'll find a way to make it all work.
Best to you and your crew.
Grant & Loria
Your off farm clips are alos intersting to us.

pulled the engine to put in another and then threw that junker in for storage. was hoping it was like the last one. Somewhat simple, but not to the army. Another great video
This is awesome, would love to see you rebuild the engine. Wish I knew what you know, great job!
You have a very clean shop and well organized
Thank you!
This is where your knowledge, experience and understanding shines
You would probably be better off going the remanufactured route like you said for warranty, time savings, and no simplicity. I know numbers get big but maybe with a remanned engine you can advertise it and get just enough extra to offset cost difference.
Clint I love seeing your pops right there in the bowels of that motor,I can remember back a few years back when Mike from Dirt perfect showed up at your shop to pick up his equipment trailer you fixed and thought this guy Clinton is just the owner/ Salesman and you have now garnered my upmost respect from a 67 year old auto light truck mechanic retired, my apologies for my first impressions you are at your A game sir I would love to meet you sometime great diagnostic on the hydrostatic trans!!! Keep up the awesome content…..
Thanks
You guys tear into an engine the way I tear into a sandwich...great video. So much better than fake reality TV...
Would it be a dumb question to ask why such an expensive engine would alloy you to start it without oil in the engine....like an oil level cut off switch....
How come when you were working on outside the engine was yellow and when you have it inside the engine is green?
The fresh water came from the pressure washer. The rear valve cover had bolts missing from the jet filter.
That's a little deeper of a dive than I was hoping for but like you say it's a roll of the dice at those auctions.
You Guys are great to watch doing what you do best. I look forward to seeing your videos. This project will be fun to watch.Keep it up and be safe .
You’ve got a good attitude about that tractor. Don’t know if I can handle that the same way as you have. I hate to see you get taken for on this deal from the Army.
That's project looks like tons of fun thanks for sharing and we'll catch you in the next one
Great video once again Clint pity it had to end like this for your sake it would of been great to see you tearing around your carpark thanks for sharing
Schooling us all n the art of trouble shooting. Worth watching every time you post content C&C.
You thought a day without Kevin in the shop was going to be an easy day. Not so much lol
Can't wait to see you guys rebuild her yea they ran it without oil a they don't like that thanks for showing us your skills Clint and company
I always though these were hard to work on (but for injector pump/hydro pumps and spaghetti hose routing). Simplicity at its finest!! Almost ready to go buy a blown dozer but I dont have a forklift :(
Given all of the maintenance inflicted problems that this machine has, I really thought that it would become a parts maiden.
It appears that whoever was working on it, had their fingers in everything, and didn't understand basic mechanics. How are you going to be sure that you have every bolt tight, and every problem permanently cured? You guys are great, and this machine is going to be an interesting video. I thank you for another good one.
Guys Great Video, but when it comes to a reman I have very serious doubt's because you know they are hiring it out to the cheapest dude in town there for I have seen it on a real scale and I know you get a warranty with that but If it craps out not only do you have to pull the engine again THEY WILL SEND YOU ONE THAT JUST LIKE IT I would rebuild it myself and please don't reuse the lifters they have had that metal running threw them as everything else has. I know I just an Old guy but I worked in a gas engine shop for years and we always done em right!! That's Your Name Going Out There...
Facinating grader mechanics 101, by the pro shop!
No Kevin??? Sorry to hear the bad news for you guys. I hope you rebuild the engine because I like to watch those videos! Keep em coming!!!
Love that kind video Clint .keep it up .
This 850J was one big mystery from the beginning and a great example of what's at stake when considering a bid. After going through 40 of these, I can only imagine the invaluable lessons learned!!! Whatever the outcome, I cannot wait to see the final conclusion. Thanks for the great video!
Clint,
Hope you rebuild the damaged engine. I enjoy your Dozer rebuild videos. Always interesting and entertaining.
Sam Allen
your knowledge and insights are damn near encyclopedic!
Hope for the best for you on this one too I know you will fix it right and the viewers will know it will be a good machine to have coming from you 😎🇺🇸NY
Great video Clint. Sorry about the engine problems. You sure know how to diagnose one for sure. Hate Kevin missed out on this. Wonder what the odds are that the people that took the engine out would see this video and say hey this is why this is like this? That would be cool to find out exactly what went down.
Wow you got that engine out before coffee time.
Thanks Clint. I enjoy your show
You could have built in winch in shop floor. Would make easy to pull machines in. Same kind like HET tractors have.
Well that is too bad. But given the number of indications you had when you first inspected it, it isn't really that surprising. Can't win them all. Good luck that it doesn't take too much to get back up and running. Thanks for sharing.
