I can remember back in the 70s and 80s working for a oilfield service company and operating a D6 Cat to pull push winch the equipment onto the job site back then dozer operators were called cat skinners. Before my stint in the oilfield with our family was farming doing chores with Melrose Bobcat. And working in the woods for cutting firewood. Thank you for your videos, they bring back precious memories.
Thank you for sharing your experiences with me. The connections and enjoyment are unbelievable. I have met so many people with very similar beliefs and interests. Thank you for supporting me.
Hey thanks for the comment. I won the lottery with this old dozer. I spent 5 years dripping on my neighbor to adopt it. It has done a pile of work for me.
Thanks for the comment. Happy new year to you. Its really enjoyable getting to talk to so many different people from so many different backgrounds and interests.
Seems fairly smooth sailing. My experience of moving the dozer on frozen field's you would have to put your false teeth in your shirt pocket for the day. I like your barn almost a forgotten part of history.
Thanks for the comment. Oh the field is far from frozen. We had a really long warm fall and then the fast big dump of snow. Now its minus 20 degrees Celsius but it has been somewhat insulated. If i looked away for a split second the Dozer would dig into the top soil and boil up in the snow. Your right about rattling teeth. I backed on to the gravel road a couple of times and that was frozen lol.
The barn we think is over 100 years old unofficially but we did find a picture in an old community history book that shows it was already standing in 1925 so officially this is its up coming 100th birthday. The one lean-to still has dairy cow stanchions.
Great to hear from you. I rarely change the angle but it comes in handy every once in a while. The ground isn't frozen at all and I was struggling to not pull up dirt in the pea stubble. If I looked away for a second it was boiling up topsoil lol. There would have been 3 foot rock hard drifts by the bins had I left the snow alone. I'm spoiled now with the hydraulic tilt. I could never go back.
Lol. I broke my favorite little hammer handle. I should have started with a bigger hammer. A bigger hammer usually solves my problems. Thanks for the comment.

I've always liked the TD15's. They were good dozers. Great job.

Use a bigger hammer next time to loosen those pins. Thanks for the video. Looked like a chilly workout.
Thanks for the comment, yes I agree I should have started with a sledge hammer..
4 seasons to keep the blade and tracks shiny, same blade mount as mine but manual tilt

Love it
Thanks for the comment.
With me it’s 100 degrees or ten the worst time to swing the blade I would hit my finger and start cursing 🤬 nice dozer enjoyed.

Move the tilt lever come on. Not a operator. Go to the house
SIT IN THE CORNER AND FEEL SHAME
And think about your actions...
Isn't winter wonderful......
Yes.... as im chipping frozen mud off the track's. I shouldn't complain, there's been worse. Thanks for the comment.
