I love how this channel let's the diesels speak for themselves... those of us here for the love of the machine....ARE HERE FOR THAT. The revs, the turbo whistle, the lugging until she almost quits... thats what brings back memories.... not a dumb sound track
So many experts here. So many keyboard operators that want to give their uninformed opinion on how this guy is doing it wrong. So many keyboard operators that wouldn’t even be able to start this old cable cat, let alone run it a tenth as good as this guy.
My first 'dozer was a 1955 (My birth year!) D8 with a winch operated Birtley blade, I think the blade was filled with concrete for better pry out, donkey engine start. I loved it!
To those wanting " more throttle (RPM's)"--that is a 14A or 15A series with the D342 engine. They were governed to 1100 RPM at high idle, meaning thet operated at 900-1000 RPM or less under load.
@@kimneabel7274 Nobody needs your sarcastic mouth... When a person doesn't know the operating range of the motor... and you've run many different makes of diesel engines that aren't that old or aren't Cat... then you only know most engines respond to more fuel... You could have said that without what you started with...
Nice old dozer. My grandpa bought two cable tools, and we still use one to pull a scraper. Dad wants to convert the scraper to hydraulics so we can pull it with our Deere 8260r, but old iron last forever.
@@dozer1642 I have multiple times, that's why I think he may want to check his high idle rpm because it seems a little low otherwise the torque should carry him through the tougher spots that are causing it to lug more than it should.

D8... I used to to do land plane work in NSW on a d8...6pm to 6am watching the turbo glow in 1990... thanks for this ..
Love to see that old cable machine work.👍👍👍

Joe Moore thankyou for clearing that up for the coffee shop wizards who want more throttle ,I love the sound

Joe Moore relax herb after 40plus yrs it always amazes me how many people know more about my job than me ,stay healthy and safe man
Low rpm torque monsters.....they sound great!
Love that cat!!
Excellent vídeo 💪👏👍
What did the pond look like after he got done??
Love those backup rippers under the blade, I have never seen those before!!!!
Yea that’s pretty cool make each pass count

Love classic power Cat.
Few operators left that can run a cable operated blade, fewer mechanics that can fix them ,using the blade for the throttle, nice!
Wish I had conditions half that dry......I need to do the same thing to one of my ponds but we've got nothing but mud everywhere.
You guys are re-releasing old videos? I'm not complaining....I love the video.
Looks like a 14-A. or 15-A series Mid to late fifties. nice looking dozer with a No. 25 cable control. winch
CAT D8 NICE.
What part of the country are you in with that good dry soil?
Proper tractor, proper job. Low RPM, high torque, low stress. Don't build em like that any more. Mores the pity.
D8 46 A this is how I remember the way Cats used to sound, steady on.
Very very few people have the trade skill anymore
Why not leave the trees?
they cause a levy to leak
Is that a a 13A? Looks good!
I love yalls videos what area of texas are yall in
coryell county
Im in Henderson county about 2 hours from waco
Big Machine Dozer
learn english bud
14A--finally saw him shift!
As esteiras parece que estao muito esticada mas o servico esta bom
Vovô bruto 😁😁😁
A little more throttle, your dozer would love you.
High torque, low rpm. It's an old cat!
That is full throttle silly. Have you ever ran one?

It runs like it has a dirty fuel filter
Eso era otra historia
Eso era hora bv
Сколько кобыл у него?
Give it some throttle!!!!!
very old machine no hydraulics only cable operated one
Turn the throttle up. Geez
Mi sembra un bulldozer molto molto stanco ....
Why not throttle up a bit more. You must know it's sweet spot?? Or are you as a tired as the D8.
Что наша сотка то и это почти , предшественник один
Give it some revs
