Tisk Tisk Rich!!! I am disappointed in your Dozer Skillzzzz!!! 🤣🤣
😆 come to Canada and show us your tank driving skillzzzz!
Hell yeah, we need a collab!
@@DGHD don’t tempt me with a good time! I’d love to drive that beast
@@DGHD Hi Aaron, for your videos where you have to blur out the previous owner’s company name, could you not cover it up with steel plate. Paint the plate green screen and attach it by magnets to the equipment. It will be funny in post production where you add comments and descriptions to the green screen plate. Cheers.

Those old cats will never die. They'll all hang around forever until somebody scraps them, not because they don't work, just because somebody doesn't know about them and thinks they're in the way. It's sad but it's the way they usually go. I have 4 old cats with pony motors and they're just amazing machines. They'll literally live forever.
I rather operate an old Cat than those effeminate pussy toys with plastic joysticks.
@Remington Steel I second that. Crazy find they got there
I know what you mean ,l have a 966 c and still runs great. Immortal old cats!
With market inflation and emissions systems. A lot of companies are actually rebuilding their older equipment.
Absolutely correct these old caterpillars are almost always fixable and don't have all the new crap on them there from a different time and place in a different america and it was better back then
I run a D9H it had semi-U blade a ripper shank on the as long as I 'am tall. Did a lot of dirt moving with it knocking hill tops off push down to fill the bottom, to put center pivot irrigation on it for new farm going in. Made cuts that where several feet above the Roll pan with length of 100 yards or so per-push. In the winter freeze I had to use the ripper in order to bust through the frozen ground. This is in Eastern Washington State off the Snake River. I had to clear the right away for 36" mainline to go up 150' Basalt out cropping, I ripped one way going down 20' width my feet on dash simply speaking until I could lesson the grade some. That did a number on that Basalt Rock the were able to bury that 36" main. It was a real joy to run that Cat, Kenneth Boren.
The pony motor is stopped by switching off the fuel and letting it run dry. If you don't then bad things happen over time. The fuel leaks down into the engine. Squatch253 has several episodes on how they go together including assessing ones killed by not letting them run dry.
Squatch/Deboss crossover would be peak heavy equipment RUclips content
You are correct with your comment. My friend George and I use the 1943 D-8 and still use much pre 1970 equipment in Alaska.
@@robertreisner6119you run old gear. is that cos there's no electrical sillness to them?
That must be alot of fuel leaking down,guys run worn injectors for hundreds of thousands of miles that leak down,wet stacking/cylinder wash can definitely smoke a motor but I learned something today
@@alscompleteoutdoor9091 The problem is that when people don't switch off the fuel to starve the engine, they don't switch off the fuel. So they figure off is off, like other engines. But the pony motor is gravity feed and will continue pouring fuel into the carb due to vibration from operating. That will all end up in the pony motor sump. Gas doesn't lubricate, so the next time you start the pony motor is trashes its bearings. Add to that the fact that people mostly forget about servicing them and you have plenty of time for gas to accumulate and do its damage. Since you asked.
This is some quality content. Don't get me wrong I like your builds but watching you guys fuck around on rusted heaps is great stuff
Preach !!!
I second that ☝👍
It bullshit there other mechanical ability are half ass
That old D8 is a treat. Cable operated blade, levers for days, a pony motor, and that old Cat lives up to its name. Purring like a kitty. You can’t get much better than that.
Growing up in the late 70’s, my dad was in the excavating business. From an early age, I was dad’s “oiler”. One piece of equipment I crawled around and greased was a D9. It was a beast and there wasn’t anything that would stop it. Such a blast to operate. Thanks for the memories Rich.
Hopelessoperstor
Junior seems like a champion! Hope to see him working on more stuff together.
He's a great guy. He was the one that towed the tank to Motorama
@@DGHD For a young guy he knew his way around some old gear! Also looked really comfortable on camera.
@@BJCP He was seconds away from learning why you don't 2-block a cable machine
@@myselfremade I have no idea what you’re talking about 🤣
@@BJCP if you keep pulling on the cable after the pulleys touch... It will break.
it's so much fun to watch these type of videos, especially when those old machines roar to life and move again.
"You're the youngest and least paid here, it is your fault!"
By far my favorite D9 series... all the stuff you need and nothing you don't.
This is one of my favorite series of alllllll time on any platform.
These videos are so entertaining to watch. You pretty much need to be a mechanical archeologist to figure these machines out! It's way over my head but real neat to see.
Na. Need to k ow how they are built. Both need oil changes. And much more.
Are we all going to casually ignore the dead racoon on the driveway at 16:17?! hahahaha
Was just about to comment on that.
Got under the track at 16:07
Wtf..? LOL!
I wondered if anyone else thought the same. Lol
Came here just to look for a comment on this / had anyone else noticed it!
Thought it was just me. Im guessing it was dead allready. Still retarded to run it over imo.
That 9 seems in good shape, mostly dry and wasn't crackling too much at start up,fairly good undercarriage looks like a keeper with lots of work left in her
I was totally waiting for someone to hit a parked truck 😂😂😂
Me too!!! Ha ha
His clutching / steering action was short on a few critical details 🤣 I was waiting for the gearbox off the winch to blow when he stated messing with those levers
That D8 is a real man's machine. The guys that used to operate those deserve medals.
Wow, blast from the past. I grew up working on those old things with my dad. You just brought back great childhood memories. Thank you.
Poor Aaron had to blur out the company name for most of the video. We appreciate your editing work!
Carry a roll of gaffer tape... tape over the names before starting.
It made me want to know it that much more
@@scowell a .98 cent can of black paint will also work
Steven's right. If you've never owned gaffers tape, you owe if to your self to try a roll, special character. No glue residue, and sticks like shit to a wool blanket!
@@edwinhsingmaster9135 It's like duct tape squared, with none of the drawbacks. 30$ a roll... but oh so worth it.
Love them old U models. I've pulled a many pony motors for rebuild. That D8 has a lot of life left. Nice looking D9.
Was like watching a circus with no ring leader lol. Only way you learn is to do
Beautiful old yellow iron, still very usable and way easier to work on than the new stuff. They will out work the newer hydro machines.
Just not as many operator comforts
Great video 👍Old Jaypaydirt would be so proud what you guys done saved a D9😊
You have to pull the steering lever and push the brake pedal at the same time to turn it. Left lever and left pedal for left turn, Right lever & pedal for right turn.
Very entertaining episode. The young guy helping what a burst. Funny guy with humour. Not a thing was a problem. Need more like him these days. 👍
That D8 brought back memories! Glad to see it saved. Love that sound.
Jpaydirt might want that one to add to his collection of three D9's.
The way that one fired up it seems pretty okay. Definitely a paydirt want, replacement motor for old killdirt. If I remember rightly he wasn't to happy about the dude who did the rebuild some time ago.
It's got J Pay Dirt or Letsdig18 buddy Charlie (Copperhead Marine) name wrote all over it.
@@nicke1903 the 40k figure proberly stop young Jeffrey. Otherwise that engine sounds sweet man. Rare spares suppose that's the value. As for the old b9s h&g's, I had the opportunity to buy a very good h with no motor (no 353s anywhere) so toyed with alternative recovery 3408 c18 even kta 19 Cummins. But hell 1250 rpm is hard to replicate. From Western Australia.
Naw ole paydirt wants H’s not G’s
@@ironman3406 killdirt is a g same engine.
Got to tell you I thoroughly enjoyed watching those old dosers and demotions and what you gotta go through to get on turning compared to today's machine incredible
Haha I was yelling at the screen as you were trying to figure out how to turn! I am 44. At 13 I helped put a clutch in one. My boss for the job says "you wanna drive?" The next week I started as an operator for him on his TD11.
When i was young my dad took us with to work on equipment and I can promise that was way more fun than any park i went to with my grandma
My Dad worked for CAT for 42 years. He was always proud to see the equipment at work on the HWY.
Yes yes yes!!! Old rich is back, I miss these videos haha
I used to love hearing the D8 starting at the local quarry when i was a kid ...Great old things good vid chaps
its like driving a twinstick if you forget where youre at stop and start over lol
Those old dozers were awesome! I learned how to start & run them when I was around 12 years old on our local farm! They would make a boy into a man quickly! Or they would kill you, either way 😂😂😂😂!
Oh my, pony motors….I hated them, cuz the cork gaskets that sealed em up to the diesel motor always leaked, but when it was cold……the pony would always warm up the big dog, and it always started……even if it was -40! 😍
I know this will most likely be buried or useless to you at this point, but those old dozers are a hand clutch and foot brake. So the two levers you're tugging at are individual track clutch packs and the foot pedals are the brakes to make it turn. I grew up playing on my Grandpa's old '45 D4, so it's second nature to me, but the riggamarole of getting the 8 started gave me a pretty good chuckle. Thanks for the content Deboss. It's much appreciated.
really looking forward for these king of videos, like before even watching... keep up the good work
You guys are having waay too much fun! Hahaha! 😂Thanks for taking us along for the ride! Too Cool! 👍👍
Great Vid. I just realised why I had a bad back for 20 years. I did my apprenticeship on Cat’s in the early 70’s & then operated D4’s & D6’s for 3 yrs. I had forgotten how much effort went into the Clutch & Brake steering ,especially when under load, & the seats were not adjustable. Love them though.
Kinda surprised those old girls fired up that easily, i guess we dont know how long they have been sitting though. They definitely dont make them like they used to...
Good old yellow paint rebuilds!😉
My dad ran a cable raise blade D8 in the bush logging in BC decades ago, had some crazy stories.
cable omg ,,awesome
Brings back memories. First, look at the tracks. They look good 👍😊 so there is plenty of life in this machine
I love these old machines. So cool even sitting still
The old1959 D4 I had said on dipstick check when running. When cold if u checked it, oil level would show over full.. but it wasn’t when’s u checked when running when warm.great job getting it running!
The fact that Rich has so much fun and is like a kid in a toy store everytime he does a (will it start) makes me miss being a diesel tech. Love your channels Rich
I remember when I started off in the operators is the type of equipment that we used to have to run there was a lot of it out there at that time, The old D 6ks we used to push scrapers,,, The good old days..😀😀😀
God I love watching old iron roar back to life. Never stop!
Only a guy with a Cummins shirt on would spray starter fluid in the engine that doesn’t need it
He and Peg are buddies, 😁 at least he wasn’t double fisting the Cosby-sauce on that old Kitty-Cat. 😂
"Oh! It loves it!!!!!"
- Peg, probably
You don't need chocolate, doesn't mean you don't want it lol
@@DGHD legendary. 😂
She’s definitely one of my favorite cat! Those will never die, they just get better with age! Like fine aged wine 🍷👌😎👍
Very cool project! I have a soft place in my heart for old iron.
On the old engines you can hear its big and have grunt. Love it.
I’ve bought a barn find D6 cable dozer - pony motor start that I’m going to try and get running this summer. Definitely enjoyed this.
Is that a dead raccoon in the foreground at 16:18? 😂 Maybe someone else was living in that thing
Congrats DGHD on getting the two Dozers running. great job. lv ur crazy videos.
This reminds me of being a WA Cheney farm boy with my cousins. We messed with everything on the farm as kids. It’s how we learned 😂
Tap e Tap e Tap on the track with an occasional air rinse when compressed air was available and that’s exactly how we did it every 12 hours of operation. But ours had an oil bath filter after the big paper pleated one. Every 12 hour shift for the paper and once a year would drop the oil and run yer finger up the intake to marvel at how well them messy old air filters worked. It was a 2U model and had the original rings and bearings after 28 years of working at that time.
Wow that’s amazing that it started right up after sitting for so long. Cool!!🎉
Impressed with the young man....knows a lot!
Seems like these old Cats never die completely, the controls wear out and they get to where they won't turn and then they sit forever until somebody finally decides to fix it and then the cycle repeats.
It's true, old Cats never die, they just take a long nap till they're ready to go again.
hillarious..the clutch and brake learning process....started running cat..d6c gearjammer with crank blade tilt.....all new cat operators should have to spend a week on one.Very basic skills and coordination.
crazy how many selfproclaimed operators have no idea how to load the blade and run with it let alone just knowing where level is and how to get there by ass of the pants on the seat.
D 9's were used in Viet Nam with a Rome plow for land clearing. They were trucked to the work site on tank transporters, after they were blown up, the chunks were airlifted back to base.
RICH you and heavy machines =Fun just Love it
My late old uncle was a diesel mechanic.I once went to an auction with him and saw that older Cats were bringing much more money than newer stuff from other makers. I asked him why that was and he simply stated "Because they're worth it".
I love those good old dozers they work great i mean you cant compere them to the new ones with all the comfort they have but i love the old cat stuff 👍👍👍
And no computer bs
Probably no New one's for sale right now
Seems like these old Cats never die completely, the controls wear out and they get to where they won't turn and then they sit forever until somebody finally decides to fix it and then the cycle repeats.
I've never been more scared watching a video than this......you didn't even move the cars out of the way and that Barn just looked like it was getting ready to get nailed oh my God
Man listening to that pony motor brings back so many memories I love those old dozers
so cool ...wish I had this collection in my backyard..
feet are the brakes levers are the clutches use them togeather to turn
Get in touch with Jpaydirt........he loves those old Cat's, Plenty of farmers would love to have an old cat like that in their shed. Jpaydirt is rebuilding one of those right now. The second cat is 1940's vintage, no turbo and pony motor. Still a good farm dozer, you can still chain scrub with it and push over trees,or build dams. Either way, from the point of utility,simplicity or historical they both have enough value to not scrap them. There is good footage of those old D8's building the Alcan highway to Alaska during WW2, and they can seriously push trees out the way.
Hey now Phil can try to help you get the tank unstuck when that happens! You should take that tank mudding this summer somewhere insane!
as a sideboom mechanic who loves the d9s/594 tractors, this pleases me immensly
what a sweet old girl, I just got our HD21 going recently and man these old dozers are many tons of fun! you guys should take this one in and run her!
iam very glad to see old Caterpillar dozer D8/114 and D9 G
Iam from Egypt
The ol Bull looks to still be in great shape! Sounds good!
That D9 started way faster than I was expecting. Send me in coach!
oh my god that d8 is massive! im glad it ran to. this was entertaining and eduating
Cosmetically at least, these both looked to be in remarkably good nick, didn't see much rust. If the "cold starts" were genuine, they fired-up really easily too. It was interesting to see someone so young who obviously knows his way around these monsters. He seemed to know more than Rich, which kinda surprised me.😁👍
What a display ! Nice to realize that steering is with two levers before operating. Aw well.
Like the "Crothers" dealer plate on the side of the D8.
From a time long ago before everything "Cat" was Toromont!
man it looks like they got them tracks on the 8 really tight
nevertheless badass seeing these machines live again
Damn man, can you imagine running that 6-8 hours a day?
Its like taking a ride on a paint shaker.
When i sat on the seat the average day was fourteen hours.
@@bigdigger9404 How are your hip doing?
ive done it on an 8k for 12 hours.. its like a nicotine buzz when you get off of it you stand there and the worlds spinning around you. god forbid you didnt have earplugs your hearing is about like having a few gun shots near you without earplugs... but boy are they fun.
I have had a AC HD6 track loader was definitely a workout to run and work on when it broke seemed like every time it broke was hanging upside down to fix
Great work! Can’t believe you dudes didn’t know how to steer the 8! Only dozer I’ve ever driven was an 8 cable with pony motor. Miss matched civilian and military final drives so it always wanted to go in a circle.
That dozer and the square body tank, Tug of war!!!!
I ran alot of old D-8 cats with pony motors front panel starts .old D-8Hs.really good machines.
16:46, I just spat my Coffee out lol, brilliant. 😂😂👍👍🇬🇧🇨🇦
Awesoame video bringing the Old CATS back to life
I’d like to see a modern machine sit for 2 years and fire up like that…. Let alone 10+…
Those old Cat’s 1000 lives.
Glorious beasts, I'm so glad they will not be scrapped.
That is so much fun to watch and I bet even more to do!
I absolutely love this channel! You guys are awesome and you always make me laugh regardless of what the video is about! Great work!
Old Cat oil levels are checked after starting. They will always show over full before you start them,makes sure you have some in the engine. Operated D9s like that during my 37 years as an operator in Ohio. They are definitely bad ass!
Now that’s a machine for Matt at Diesel Creek.
When I was a kid, the dozer driver I observed used to turn the motor over in decompression with the pony motor for a few minutes to make sure the motor was prelubed before starting it.
I see a D9 and D10T work regularly. It never ceases to amaze me of just the power to move product.
Rich, glad you figured out that you had to pull the clutch lever BEFORE you pushed the track brake pedal..fun to watch!
and don't snap the blade lower handle too fast, you'll snare the winch cable!
Ya gotta pull on the friction and hit the brake on the side you don’t want to turn. Prolly stuck from sitting idle. Give it some time and things will loosen up. Ran 2 twelve hour shifts way back, and I am sure it will still out pull anything built near that era. Great machine.
I'm glad you guys are gonna save that old iron.
My Goodness that waqs fun. I love the old Cats!
Those old dozers made you work to operate them. I kind of miss operating them the new stuff today is so easy and will do it for you.
