Spent many years of my youth clearing brush and building stock ponds with those D4Ds ! Great machines! Keep the belly pans cleaned out! Grass ,leaves and small sticks fill them up and become a dangerous fire hazard! Also do not trust the hinges on the belly pans on the first and second pans ! They usually are broken or rusted off on the old machines! Support with floor jacks on at least a 1/4 inch piece of steel plate! From hard lessons learned! The blade you have does look like it came off of a D4E model.
Thanks for the tips I got the big belly pan under the transmission out and cleaned it but the two up front are putting up a fight gonna have to get the torches and a fire extinguisher for those another video on it coming this weekend thanks for watching
cool like the video do hope to see more, big equiptment is awesome specially for the right price and fixing it your self,
Definitely doing more videos waiting on parts mainly working on a video of my firewood processor at the moment hope to have that up soon thanks for watching
Hi Like your dozer sounds good can you do more videos on it working, I have one as well. Thanks
You lucky man. That is a wonderful machine😊
Thanks and yes it seems to be a great little dozer so far thanks for watching
SweetRigs~,
Awesome find! You have an awesome machine there! Can't wait to see what all you do with it and what you're gonna work it on. Very cool! Thanx Thom...
We have a lot of awesome projects for it this spring and while it’s in the shop this winter it needs some work thanks for watching
my first d4d has over 18xxx hrs mtr never touched they are great little dozers have 3d 2e going completly through one 4d now everything in back end is new finals through steering good luck
That’s amazing I’ve heard they are reliable I’ll never get anywhere near that many hours on it but it’s good to know it’s possible thanks for watching and good luck with your project
I just bought a D4D from a local farmer its still standing in the field fornpast 10 years I havent touched it. It has a bush growing through it. bought some batteries looking fwd to a weekend to try to start it.
That’s great there’s nothing more rewarding than getting an old pice of equipment back up and going again those old cats are die hards good luck with it and thanks for watching
Enjoyed your video, let's see more
I’m glad you liked it I am just waiting on some parts and better lighting for the pole barn since it’s cold now I’ve moved it inside to work on it thanks for watching
Appears to be a good running machine 👍
Yes it seems to run and push good thanks for watching
Wicked nice!
Glad you like it and thanks for watching
weld tabs on the track and use a come-a-long to easly reset track locks
Thanks for the tip
Get #1 diesel in your new rig plus ban ice ,also a bolt heater will help with winter startups!!!
engine sounds good
Yes it seems to run good still have a lot of smaller repairs but overall not bad so far thanks for watching and commenting
@@sweetrigstv9520 I have been working on a Caterpillar 951 A loader
@@DOCTORDROTT they are a good size loader you should take some video and post it
I know by this time you change the air filter from the other side by taking the clamp off and you have two filters in that airbox!!!
Yes there are two brand new air filters in it thanks for watching
Chassis needs a complete replacement
old glow plugs take longer to heat hold jeat on longer...a volt meter will tell you if plugs are dead or not
Yes I did use a multimeter and found only one glow plug was working I ordered all new ones they should be in on the next video this weekend thanks for watching
I wonder if you could put in a metal rod or weld over re drill and tap I never had good luck with heil coil
The helicoils are just temporary unless they hold up so I could test the dozer and run it for a day to see if it needed any major repair I really need to find a good set of used rails or just install a new mater link thanks for watching
Please tell us you changed all the filters and checked for oil and antifreeze? I like your video, but shorten the bit where you are moving crap with it 👍🇬🇧
No oil in antifreeze or vise versa changed all filters and fluids except hydraulic had a bad leak just fixed that your lucky I lost about 2hours of dozing content but to each their own any parts you don’t like just skip them that’s the best part of RUclips you control it I hope you subscribed there is another video coming soon thanks for watching
Nice What serial number is it ?
thanks
It’s 83j4146 lots more videos to come thanks for watching
Where is the fuel line off the side of the injection pump going, I can see that it going to the cab
Line comes out of tank to a water separator then to a fuel filter then to the injection pump
if you don't give it fuel prior to you are pissing in the wind preheating
I really wanted to see the pressure washing. You don't understand what people want to see. Your rookieness is showing. We don't want to see what you have done, we want to see you in the process of doing it.
I never claimed to be more than rookie never will its a simple concept though I can't show what I don't have I HAD the footage but it became corrupted so no good and that happens to the best of them I'm sure you understand with all the content you've taken and uploaded to RUclips and all have a nice day thanks for watching
