Not sure when they were last serviced. We purchased them to put on our D8K as replacements because one of the lower rollers had seized on our existing one and damaged the journal it mounts in on the track frame. We thought it would be quicker and easier to get these frames, do a service on them and install them. But when we got them home and flipped them over to inspect them, we found they were in very poor condition. Here is a link to the video we made when we first started looking them over. ua-cam.com/video/_scnHwXyIMg/v-deo.htmlsi=d_pMo9y1t8mXBSEr

@JB-D8Ktv So what did you end up doing?

@@keithfritz1990 We are in the process of repairing the original track frames. Had to have a couple journals welded up and then they will go the machine shop for line boring. We will do our best to document and post the repair as well. We spoke to the machine shop owner already and he said he was fine with us filming in his shop and showing the line boring process. Hopefully we can get that done soon. 👍🏼. We are looking forward to getting it all back together and back in use. Thanks for watching.

No motocross jumps….lol. Love it!! He’s got a fair bit of experience alright. He is always gentle on the equipment for sure. Thanks for watching!!

@@scottmoot2969 Yes, also a good solution 👍🏼

@@DougDrain it’s nice working outside in the good weather! Only a couple of broken bolts so not too bad so far. We’ll keep at it see what else we find. 😁

Absolutely. It’s going to be some work alright but you always feel a sense of accomplishment when it’s done. And feel a sore back too!! lol

Thanks for checking out the video! We definitely aren’t scrapping it. It was just way overdue for some new undercarriage. The more we took it apart the more we found that needed some repair and attention. The track frames themselves need some welding done on them. The rest of the dozer is in great condition with quite a bit of work done on it recently. It’s definitely a runner and we are looking forward to getting it repaired and put back together. Stay tuned for more videos!!

That’s definitely the easier way to do it for sure. We had to do it this way because we don’t have a crane or loader big enough to lift the front up. So we had to use the C frame to lift it up onto the blocks then remove the C frame. Not as convenient for sure but it still worked. Thanks for watching!

@@JB-D8Ktv You drive it onto 2 big blocks until the front is high and the machine is balanced, block the front tight, lift up the machine with the ripper and remove the 2 big blocks under the tracks then block the ripper at the brackets. Easy. Anyway you do what works. Makes dozer fixin' fun. D8 parts, too big for muscles too small for a crane. Good job boys.

@@DougDrainThanks for the good suggestion! Never thought of doing it that way. Makes sense for sure. That’s the nice thing about UA-cam and video sharing is that there are others out there like you who share their experience to help others. Appreciate you sharing that and thanks for watching as we work through this and keep these older dozers running strong.

Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment!! 30 yrs experience is a really good cross section to draw from! That’s a lot of hours in the seat for sure. Appreciate you watching and commenting!! We are doing our best to keep these old machines well maintained and running good. We really enjoy them and are happy to see others who enjoy them as well.

Absolutely agree! Nothing ever seems to go as easy as it seems it should. Thanks for the encouragement!! We’ll keep at it. Cheers from Canada. 👍🏼👍🏼❤️❤️

@Jpaydirt. Hi Jeff, first off we really enjoy your channel. It’s a pleasure to see you keeping the old iron working. You do great work!! We have been keeping a close eye on the new undercarriage being put on the D9G. You definitely got done before us. My brother and I joked around saying “wonder if @Jpaydirt will ever see our videos”. Guess this answers that question. We had to use the C frame to lift the front of the cat because we don’t have a crane or a loader big enough to do it. Thanks for checking out the channel!!

@@JB-D8Ktv I knew there was a reason, better buy a Galion LOL

@@Jpaydirt LOL! It would sure come in handy sometimes alright. We do already have a Galion grader that hasn’t ran in 15 years. Haha. More projects to fix than there is time to do it.

Thanks for watching! Undercarriage is all new. Rails, pads, segments, upper and lower rollers, front idlers and wear strips all replaced. Should last us a long time. It’s used on a farm now so won’t see too much usage each year. The new undercarriage was the main reason we bought it. It’s working well so far. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Haha. Well said. Great comment!

They definitely look a lot alike but this is a D8K for sure. I took the video myself. If you look closely at the beginning of the video you can see the D8K sticker on the side of the machine. Thanks for watching and commenting!!

No, sorry. The first one here in the video was sold last week and the other two are still in use. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the thumbs up even if it didn’t register. Appreciate it!
