  1. When i was a forklift tech several times I ran into situations that just taking a hydraulic component and putting it back together solved the problem. No smoking gun. It’s great when it works but makes you nervous about actually fixing it or not. In those instances Seems to be either a small contaminant or something sticking, time will tell on your kitty Cat

  2. G'day C&C, It's good that you tube can help your business by showing potential customers the lengths that you go to making sure the machine goes out the door in top condition no stone unturned πŸ‘.

  3. It is amazing how you trouble shoot what needs to be done with a machine. You have the experience to know when it's not what it should be. I bet you could get $165,000 for it.

  4. The older high drives only had one hydraulic pump for the steering and blade operation. The steering overrides the blade operation. when steering and trying to operate the blade at the same time,the steering gets the majority of the oil. The newer ones have two pumps to solve that problem

  5. Those things are quick. I ran the 8n awhile and it felt like a go cart. But i was normally on the 9L. It would take the 8N three pushes to move one D9L blade full of dirt. Sense you are atot higher 8t doesn't seam like you are moving as fast but fact is you are travelling ever faster

  6. It's incredible to see a US Army Cat D6R being brought back to life after being abandoned for so long! Getting it back into service was certainly not easy, but the effort and perseverance is truly admirable. What do you think of the restoration process?

  7. G'day Clint from Australia, I like the hole you dug with the D6….pity it got wet down there. I thought you might be competing against the Jackson Brothers here. Have a look at the video on YouTube " D11 digs a hole, this hole they dug with one of their D11s is huge, about 5x meters deep and done in less than a hour. Great sound of the V8 working πŸ’ͺ hard. Keep up the good work….Cheers πŸ‘.

  8. That fine silt inside the pan tells me that this Cat has gone for a paddle and probably got stuck there for a while – perhaps over in Simulations they tried to recreate a paddy field rather too well. Engine died on an inexperienced operator, then the shafts were removed by more inexperienced fitters when it was pulled out.
    Good job the "A" Team are on hand now.
