First machine I ever learned to operate was a Cat 977 traxcavator. My dad would take me to work with him I was 11. By age 12 I was running it myself my dad would take lunch go sit on the trailer and tell me to move a pile of dirt from one side of job to the other. By the end of the summer I was pulling stumps and loading trucks.
I ran a 850 D for years and grew to appreciate the ability to throw one track in high to have full power to both tracks when pushing around corners. The high range was great for tracking long distances. Like anything else, the more seat time leads to proficiency.
I learned on International 125E's and an old International 175B, all with 4-in-1 buckets. Like a poster said already, track loaders were used for lot clearing, basements, grading, swamp draining, anything but a trench and that is what the old Ford backhoes were for (cause they were faster than a Case), or the excavator if you weren't in someone's yard.
Brings back a lot of memories. Grew up on an 1150 and 1450 loader, and first excavator I ran was a 980B with the leveling cab. Your videos are awesome. If you get back up on that loader, try steering with the low / high track speed controls. pull one back to neutral for a slow turn, pull it back to low for a faster turn. And if you want to break soil down almost to screened material...open the mouth about 18 inches or so, then play with the dump angle until you get that sweet spot where you are peeling slightly, and the top of the mouth keeps you from digging in. I had trouble holding that specific angle, but one of the other operators could break down a tracked stockpile to where it was super fine material.
Great machine, we had the smaller 850B, that the previous owner had signed the death warrant on. Still a beautiful machine to operate, with logging, clearing and other works, perfect all round tractor
It didn't take long for you t get the hang of it... Good work! My dad put me on a 955 E CAT track loader with a side dump bucket at age 12... Lots of kidney jolts... LOL!
Awesome that's the exact model track loader I learned on when I was a kid you can even hear the squeeling bucket pins my dad still has it to this day just doesn't have the 4in1 love listening to that Cummins all day
We were going to buy one way back 20 years ago. Was told they don't make a good loader or dozer. So we brought separate machines. Case 1150 and a wheel loader. Happy with both. Your videos are awesome. Have picked up a number of pointers from watching you operate. Thank-you Sir
Those old dinosaurs will make you sweaty, dusty and deaf and give you trouble pissing if you ride them long enough. Gotta love a cab with AC and air ride seats. And please protect your hearing. Dad and all his friends were so hard if hearing by fifty that it was almost impossible to have a conversation with them.
Don’t know if you’ll be back on it or not but steer with the track speed controls…..tall levers are low neutral and high for each track….if both are in high, pull one back to neutral for slow turns and low for faster turns etc
Learning to operate new equipment is golden in the excavating business.. lol..We are never to old to learn something new while adding to the resume of skill. Good Job Chris.
My 3 year old nephew loves your channel. He told me he wants to meet your dogs. I told him that we have to drive 12 plus hours to get there. He told me we better get goin then. Anyway we your channel. Keep it up.
Don't think I know too many people with Case equipment any more. Fresh out've high school in 93 I started on John Deere 455 d model clearing house lots and when I moved over to site and utilities I got to use a 963 b series 2 track loader and that machine was awesome! I wished we still had it.
One of the very few machines that Case new how to build right. Operated a Cat 951 track loader with the clam shell bucket, that was an awesome machine to run. The old Cat I ran, throttle and gearing controls were on the left side beside the seat arm rest, the right side had the loader and 4-n-1 bucket controls. Steering was a left and right pedal, center pedal was the brake.
Now that brings back memories alright! Started off on an Massy fergson 200B I think smaller traxcavator (or Drott) with a backhoe attachment We almost brought a case next but instead opted for a Cat 951 which was a great call excellent machine and didn’t have to figure out those 4 nasty little leavers (I think a lot extended 2 of them) after that was a D55 Komatsu then onto the newer Cat 943 and then the 963 awesome machine👍 We are still running a Cat 953d they are not as popular nowadays but put a good operator on em and they are amazing 👍👌
Training is ongoing. It's a good thing to.cross train, and keep honing our skills. Didn't take long to start using it all as was designed. Loved the outside angle. Now was playing this on my speakers, the growl of this engine and exhaust was neat. It looks more user friendly in the office. 👍👌🎶✌
Company I used to work for had two 1450’s. One had a dozer blade and the other was a loader. Once you learn them they’re some strong machines. Most green operators won’t even know where the start button is 😂
Fell into my feed today, as good as an operator that you are Chris it was fun to watch the struggle......😁 Getting it to move was hilarious but most people can't even find the starter button so you are good on that one. You rarely use the foot peddles as others here have pointed out. Next up, Cat dozers, pony motors and magnetos, getting your hand to close to the spark plug wire....... 🤣
Awesome bit of gear - a good case Machine will outlast religion haha. We ran out of UA-cam content in Australia this week, lockdown has lasted too long. Thanks for the daily vids!
@@jeffgordon9549 - yeahhhhh if they are on the right (Republican) side of politics, they have no fricken idea what you are talking about,,,,,, they think the USA has done better than any other country in the world,,,,,,, it’s like Trump followers are from some sort of bizarre cult,,,,, seriously!! Couldn’t see the truth if it were the only damn thing in their line of vision,,,,, they would say they were blind instead!!! Hahaha. Dying by the thousands but can’t understand that’s wrong,,,,,,,,.
Most of the old timers around here still run high lifts exclusively. I know of a few guys that is the only piece of equipment they own. They can cut and do finish grade better than any dozer you ever seen. Amazing to watch.
When I was just learning at 16 years old, In the Jersey City area, I worked with a guy that was phenomenal on a 977L or K. 2nd gear wide open all day and cut grade better than a D3 too with it. George was great loading trucks and wrecking houses and buildings with it.
I grew up with a Case 750D drott. Good machine we cleared our 100acre farm with it here in Australia. Still got her. Shes a bit worn out and needs a revamp.
Hey Chris !!! GOOD to see you having ""FUN"" on the 1155 !!! Might be wrong, but looked like extra slack in the tracks ??? At least they DIDN"T run off !! Have a good week & thanks for videoing & sharing !! ""KEEP IT SAFE "" !!
I learned on a Cat 955 K and L Model in North Carolina as a teenager with my Uncle clearing house lots and grading them off and also root raking clearing jobs with them. Talk about thinking I was doing something at the time. Come home and have to take two showers lol. Good memories equipment has came a long way.
That’s the kind of dozer I grew up running. Old school sticks. Case 450 and 850. Although that one has 2 more sticks in the middle. 1 stick F-n-r and 2 sticks hi-n-lo. It’s amazing how much exhausting work it use to be to just operate equipment.
When I was about 16 a friend's dad bought a John Deere that had a tilting bucket and 4 way blade. Meaning you could place the bucket up and use the blade like a normal dozer blade. It was handy as heck.
You couldn't tilt the bucket any so for digging with the bucket little tricky. For loading it was tight. For what we did it worked good. Have not seen another one. 1972
Chris, you haven’t lived until you have dug a basement with the old Case 855 or 1155 loaders. My knees hate me to this day because of those “antiques”. Makes you appreciate equipment with the pilot controls of today! Cool video though.
When I was a boy, if you were an excavator that's what you had, a track loader. Dug foundations, basements, swimming pools, everything but trenches, that's what backhoes were for.
@@cmmartti yes. Usually your ramp goes where your basement steps would be put. It is usually the perfect angle to form your concrete steps. If you have a walkout…even better. No ramp needed.
The West was built with machines just like this, sweaty, noisy, rough riding, dust and dirt right up in there, inside every pore and orifice the body has! Those men were heroes in my book.
Watching you on that brought back memories... As an electrician I used to only run trenchers, skip loaders and the occasional mini ex. One job I had several thousand yards of mud from an old rice paddy that needed to be stacked for export. Well, my office got me a John Deere 555 track loader with 4 n 1 just like the one in the video. The first couple of days was awkward, but I never got it stuck! Really don't miss that machine!
The great thing about the Case is you don’t have to break power to the tracks to steer. Simply shift one track to low or high to turn the machine. Only use the brake to stop the machine and not for turning.
Chris, I am not at all familiar with the equipment you work on and with, but I find myself fascinated to learn about them. I have watched other channels before so I have just enough knowledge to admire and respect your expertise. But watching you on a new machine, both of those attributes went way up. You are willing to learn, which almost by definition requires you to go back to school - and this school is a particularly tough one and has more than a little danger associated with it. I get that at your level that is not really a factor, but on a new machine it is there again. That said, congrats. You focused on getting the unfamiliar controls into your hands, front, back, steering, bucket control. A textbook way to gain control fast - with no mistakes. Everyone else does not comment as they know so much more than I do, being in the business themselves. But I was impressed.
Free flow air conditioning Huge computer controlled(the operator) Squeak's and rattles (all part of is get real focus) With that shift control between your legs ,it's like riding Rodeo 😄😄
First dozer I learned to work with was an old cat dozer. It would beat the hell out of you. Fast forward a buncha years and I'm at reclass training for the army reserves. They had one of their new fancy d6 dozens go down. So I jumped on the old d6 they had and went to work. They then made everyone try out the old dozer. They all hated it. I loved that old machine.
Ole school 1155E with Steering levers & travel speed lever in the box between your legs . My grandfather bought one New with a 4 in 1 bucket. It was a good loader but when traded back to Dresser/ IH 175C a few years later , I was happy again . ( I never liked that box )
I learned how to run one of those on a bluff in Iowa, scary inclines and sandy soil! I could run it on flat land no problems after the hill job! It's nothing like the new equipment you have today! The new equipment is way easier , and more powerful!! I also learned to bring my own cusion for the seat, cause it was just a flat piece of plywood! 🤣
Howdy Chris well if this was your first on this kinda machine it didn’t take you long to figure it out impressive you are a natural operator you make any machine from what I have seen you make it work for you with grace you da man 👍 8:44am NY 😎🇺🇸
You looked great and you handled that perfect for your first time. Awsome grading the lot enjoyed it very much and also the aerial shots at the end. 😀👍❤🇨🇦
Think of the fun of mounting a compaction roller onto the back of a track loader or even a dozer so you can compact as you spread in a single pass with some hydraulics to lift/lower the roller
After riding on the dinosaur you really appreciate modern-day equipment. Dusty noisy and hot or wet to the bone. Just get rid of that urine tank beside the diesel tank.
Case did some things very different. My only Case experience was on a farm tractor, a Case DC. The hand clutch was backwards from our John Deere and the Case used a worm gear to turn the narrow front steering tires that took forever to turn. But you couldn’t beat the old Case equipment for being stout. That was a durable SOB.
Old School there looks like!! lolol.... little learning curve going on there ....lolol... Well, you can atleast say, you have run one now !!! A lot going on to run that ride there now.. lolol... Well, Great as always Chris, always fun to try your hand at something new to ya !! Have a Great Weekend Man... And, On too the Next !!

The high/low for the tracks is for power turns before hystat machines
The West was built with machines just like this, sweaty, noisy, rough riding, dust and dirt right up in there, inside every pore and orifice the body has!
Those men were heroes in my book.
It still made for great viewing bro so thanks for taking us along. Safe travels
Now that's "OLD SCHOOL" , That ol' girl will out last most of the new stuff out there!!! LOL
You’re absolutely right, they last. Do the Maintenance and keep moving.

That dude was damn good on that 1155... man those were the days when Case made good equipment
It’s fun to see Chris not be an expert on something with tracks and a bucket. Then again, he picked it up a lot faster than most would.
One thing about that machine, there isn’t any computerized junk to go wrong!
I still say add a quick coupler to a track loader and add a 6 way blade and you can do anything you want with one of them.
The great thing about the Case is you don’t have to break power to the tracks to steer. Simply shift one track to low or high to turn the machine. Only use the brake to stop the machine and not for turning.

love my case 450 track loader.
dogs are the best.
i was told to never turn in reverse, try to do it in forward if you can, tracks!!
I always tell my kids that I learn something new everyday. Well done sir! 👍😎
Hey, you got the Mauldin out working! The funny looking loader/grader/ripper.
First dozer I learned to work with was an old cat dozer. It would beat the hell out of you. Fast forward a buncha years and I'm at reclass training for the army reserves. They had one of their new fancy d6 dozens go down. So I jumped on the old d6 they had and went to work. They then made everyone try out the old dozer. They all hated it. I loved that old machine.
What do you do for vacation?
"I like to run equipment I don't own on a job I don't get paid for" - Chris
Pretty much
Not a dang thing wrong with that! Any chance to run something new, go for it!
Make sure to top up the DEF! ;)
Great video Chris 🇺🇲
Ole school 1155E with Steering levers & travel speed lever in the box between your legs . My grandfather bought one New with a 4 in 1 bucket. It was a good loader but when traded back to Dresser/ IH 175C a few years later , I was happy again . ( I never liked that box )
Old girl is moving pretty good
Somebody told the skidsteer to go get his grandpa.
Good machine if its dry, dont try the mud, get stuck easily as they have low ground clearance. Still a sweetheart
I learned how to run one of those on a bluff in Iowa, scary inclines and sandy soil! I could run it on flat land no problems after the hill job! It's nothing like the new equipment you have today! The new equipment is way easier , and more powerful!! I also learned to bring my own cusion for the seat, cause it was just a flat piece of plywood! 🤣
Howdy Chris well if this was your first on this kinda machine it didn’t take you long to figure it out impressive you are a natural operator you make any machine from what I have seen you make it work for you with grace you da man 👍 8:44am NY 😎🇺🇸
My favorite of those machines back then were the Power while turning using the HiLo levers. Very productive equipment during their day.
You looked great and you handled that perfect for your first time. Awsome grading the lot enjoyed it very much and also the aerial shots at the end. 😀👍❤🇨🇦
Never say crash course when learning equipment especially airplanes and flying.
Great job Chris.
Think of the fun of mounting a compaction roller onto the back of a track loader or even a dozer so you can compact as you spread in a single pass with some hydraulics to lift/lower the roller
You could probably do it with that Mauldin
No limp mode no Def no drink holder no air conditioning no windshield wipers needs a new ass gasket 😱🤪😁👍🇺🇸
No cup holder???? I’m outta here,,,,,,,
Historical piece of earthmoving, great to see!
No DEF for that thing!
Old school, love it. Take care & cheers from 🐨🦘🥰
Had same machine, was a good machine 👌
Love the old school tech. NO DEF, NO COMPUTERS. That's what I cut my teeth on.
All that back and forth on that spot should have ground well compacted!
After riding on the dinosaur you really appreciate modern-day equipment. Dusty noisy and hot or wet to the bone.
Just get rid of that urine tank beside the diesel tank.
I think is no different from your other machineries, your are smart easy to learn

I ran those daily in the 1980s also the 850 dozens the 580 c d e backhoe great machines
I can bet this machine does have a limp mode. It’s all power.
I've never been on one but I got a crash course on how to run one...…, that's all you need
Doing the bogie boogie...making the grade!
Good one Chris. At least you would never get problems with the DEF system on these old equipments
Chris's next purchase for his farm, Case 1155E. Lol. Hopefully with powershift instead of that current hokie system.
Like the beer cans under the pedals
Makes ya wanna shake the hand of the Fella that used that machine. They were a lot harder to run back then.
