Quote: CVPost-Steve A W (quoted from post at 10:46:19 10/14/21) My daughter is in a vocational automotive class.

The first thing they did in the shop was tear

apart a junk car.

I've been watching this kid working on the Cat.

First off, He's probably in his mid thirties.

He is going through the systems one at a time

using the Cat service manual.

He could of probably found a better machine but

where's the fun in that?

I'll post a link to his youtube channel.

I watch Squatch also, He is unique in his methods

and mechanical technique.

Thats the one. I would have put him at 26-27. People have tried to talk sense to him but it skims right over his head. He's darn near hurt himself a number of times. And he's going to get hurt for sure trying to disassemble the clutch pack. People have told him to go to Squatch for advice. I don't think he has. Big mistake. There's another kid, Salvage Workshop, doing a similar rebuild on a 933 IIRC, but he's using his head a whole lot more and he's talking with Squatch.



While he might be looking through a reprint of the manual, he lacks the Servicemans reference book which would clue him in a lot from what I see. Plus he's trying to use "will fit" bearings instead of what Cat designed the thing for. Cat didn't make any mistakes building the D4's of that era. He's giving it a good go, but he seems more worried about paint than finding out if the undercarriage is any good!

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit ... [Read Article]
