- Caterpillar D7 making logging roads before winter sets in, this is the same old dozer as in my first movie. Great machine! This is on our farm in Hegra - Norway. This landscape will later be cultivated for agricultural use.

Brings back such good memories of years I spent on D7E's and D7F's in the woods of southern Oregon. Happiest days of my life.

I love driving bulldozers
that beast didnt skip 1 beat , the power is just incredible
Motor sounds REALLY good! I remember in the 80's I had bought a 5 acre plot. The development had something like 30 of these 5 acre lots for sale. My neighbor bought a 1950's D-7 to clear his property and ended up clearing all the neighbors as they bought their plots around him. He ended making that ole D-7 pay for itself many times over.

I was a Heavy Equipment Operator for 27 yrs. I am still impressed by the power of a D7 I ran a D9 bigger than the seven. Same felling when I fly to Europe and board the biggest plane and that thing can fly over the atlantic ocean. Absolutely AMAZING!

I logged in Washington for a decade. Ran everything from loaders to rubbertires to dozers. Mainly small jd650. But ran D7e and an old 17a. And was amazed with their power and agility and ability to chug up a hill pulling huge heavy pine trees up steep ground. Those older dozers like the 17a, you had to be men to run those skidding logs and building roads in the mountains all your life. With all the levers and clutch and winch out and winch in, separate forward and reverse and clutch in and out and the steering with separate foot brakes. And on steep ground. It was an experience I will never forget. And wish I was still doing it. The thrills and the dangers you would be in on a daily basis sometimes was crazy. Makes normal jobs so boring and unfullfilling.
Thank you for taking the time to video and then to post this video - very relaxing … I can watch and listen to this all day.
That looks and sounds like a great and smooth running D7. I could watch this working all day. Thanks for NOT having music in this great video to spoil the sounds of a working Caterpillar.
It looks like the road was already there. We typically go for the least invasive method available. But then again, we don’t have a dozer that can push a road in one pass. Nice machine
Your pushing better soil to the side of the road than we have in our gardens! Great job, big blade gets the work done!
That D7 is an absolute BEAST!!!!!!!!!
Love the quiet purr of the Cat motors.
LMFAO! Quiet?
You must live behind a screen only.
Nice Kitty , looks clean and very well maintained . Thanks
I started on a old gas JD 1010....back in 1963. Got my ass chewed out for the 1st few months for pour blade control. The small machines were really the hardest as the terrain changes were quick...so were your blade response. If not, the work was Mickey Mouse. Once you mastered the small machine blade control...those D-9s or TD-25s were a cake walk in make picture perfect blade work!
I can smell it from here you never forget it
I work at Caterpillar in Australia and see parts for this and other machines coming in and going out every day.
hey buddy any guess on the year of this old girl?
What a beautiful sound. CAT POWER BOAHS!
That old D7 was pushing quite a blade full, like it was nothing. Some good looking topsoil there, for sure.
Lol juicio oi i9 un l xnpa
thats one clean dozer my dad has a d9G
Great looking great sounding machine.
Hmmmm impressively nice and worthy gold gem. The sights n sound of turbocharged CAT 3306 PC running engine is perfect.
Tanks! We have rebuilt it ourself. Parts for this 1974 model 3306 still in stock at Cat. By the way, what does PC stand for?

hmmmm I also have my own service shop along Caterpillar, Cummins and Perkins original and aftermarket parts inventory. Indeed CAT heavy engines rebuild is my passion I have vast experience in CAT 3200 - 3500 series diesel engines, C15, C18 and in Classic engines D346 PC.
Well PC stands for Pre-combustion chamber. Caterpillar design that specific successful old fuel injection system PC in cylinder head along glow plugs that used for heat in combustion chamber. Also these engines have sleeve metering fuel injection pump and later on CAT 3306 and other engines were manufactured on new fuel injection system called DI (Direct Injection) having more power less fuel consumption and convenience in maintenance repair.
Usually Caterpillar marks fuel system design PC or DI along engine model on serial number metallic plate located on cylinder block and valve cover too respectively like 3306 PC or 3306B DI.
Indeed I lived in Lahore city of Pakistan having mechanical engineering bachelor degree and inspired of my beloved father who is affiliated with Caterpillar service line since 1962. Thanks a lot for reading.
Man ain’t nothing like hearing that cat purr right along
My dad made many many logging roads in his time ,he started out using horses, he loved the mechanical equipment better
How do you mount a blade on the front of a horse. ???
D7s had the best sounding engine/turbo combination
try to find the sound of the first D9's with turbos, now that is a bad ass sound
@@strmcrkjr you should hear a Catipillar C13 spooling up. They sound like a locomotive.
Proper Old CAT !! Way to Go ! Last a life time literally with plenny of oil and grease
Добры? Порнофильм давайте
Helluva piece of equipment! Ain't breaking a sweat.
Love this, looks like it's time for a track job
I can almost hear that dozer operator cursing that camera man to stay in sight.
The left idler has some play, maybe the guides are worn. Thanks the new paint it seems like brand new! Good job!
you have exelent vision sir ! i'm impressed! and you're absolutely right, the guide is pretty worn out

Idler means? Please tell me, I want to know 😐
Lalthazova Khawlhring the wheels that guide the track.
Just get some weld-on grouser bar replacement steel. Add another inch or so to what you have left (looks like about 30% from here) and you won't have to worry about climbing those slippery hills anymore. I'd say that if that ripper hasn't ganked your finals yet then pushing some dirt around won't hurt them either. It'll take a while to do it but there's nothing worse than having horsepower that you can't put on the ground. Thanks for posting this vid.
Thanks for the advice (y)
I can think of a lot of things worse than having more power than traction. Getting shot, for starters.
I used to be a heavy driver too saw the same you saw
@@davidgangloff8787 what's a heavy Driver?

just switched professions for hardscape foreman to machine operator and I'm excited to do this stuff
That's a tidy old blade, good operator on it too.
Có được người chồng như thầy Lộc thì xác định sướng cả đời nhé. Chúc mừng 2 bạn nha!
Back in the pre-cup days when the smoke smelled sweet. Remember happiness is black smoke and shiny tracks
Sounds like poetry !
The tracks are pretty flat but that thing can still push the world!!!
Great video

Fantastic video. Love the sound.
This is so satisfying to watch!
Good video and nice paint job but the worn out tracks make it difficult to do any work uphill!
Nice smooth operator. Easy on the machine.
It looks like he's just reopening an old log road. I started 30 years ago on a Cat D8K. I could push some serious blade loads with it. The newer choked down equipment doesn't seem to nearly have the draw bar strength the old black smoke blowers had.
Nice looking Cat!
Thanks (y)
The best sound is the DIESEL sound!
nice dozer been kept up. I think u need new tracks tho. cleats look worn out. but nice video and nice dozer.
Nathaniel Booker you could get thousands of hours off of those tracks buddy
Great camera work! Got lots of hours on D7E's myself but they mostly had angle blades and winches.
Let there be DOZER
Caterpillar D7 one of the best in the world!
That's a F, I preferred the Gs
Nice D7F!
Love the smell of fresh turned ground.
Beautiful machine
If the diesel ain’t an old diesel or it don’t smoke, it ain’t a dirty diesel.
i'll stand behind that statement !
I love the foggy weather 🌸😍❤❤
I started out on an old open cab D7 when I was a young man. That one looks nice, but the grousers are worn out, can't get any traction.
That's exactly where my pet rabbit was living. Poor ol' Cheesecake.
😂
Nice tracks!
She's a classic old brute, love it
Sounds GREAT !!!
Beautiful piece of equipment
Now that little bugger she's a knocking down shrubbery with ease. She's a good un.
My childhood hero
This size of dozer should have 4 in grozers on the tracks. Ive watched my dad do this same road building, hundreds of times.
That moment when you smoked weed and realized you just watched a dude on a dozer for ten minutes and felt oddly satisfied
hahah love you !
You definitely don't need to smoke weed in order to watch that video ;)
Teu ku
@@bonsaika65 No but it helps....
Im so baked right now from smoking some kush and this hits the spot
Good job .. for his first day!!
Love the smell of fresh dirt??
Gosh those are some old roads. Nobody's been down em in years
What a beast. I love tracked vehicles.. Though I thought it might've taken a little more than some soft dirt to make the CAT unable to get traction. Ah, whatever, cool video. :D
Sevalecan that hill is much steeper than the camera can show.
Location is key my friend Even the biggest giants will lose their grip at the right angle
A high track machine would be more suited but this old machine will get it done
Steeper than it looks. But it's true, some wet slimy mud can stop a dozer in its tracks sometimes, literally
Listen to that great old engine purring 😊
Tracks wore slam out. Plus that dozer needs to be a wide track doing that kind of work on steep terrain. Way more traction.
boy, that cat is bad to the bone, real power house
Holes on the lift cylender ends looked really wallowed out, other than that, nice dozer.
This is great, love it
Nice cat still going strong.
Great footage.....thanks for sharing
It sounds like the motor is missing a bit when he throttles up. Is it just my imagination? But he is getting some major work done. Nice video.
Video is so realistic i had to step out of the way of that dozer a couple of times.
thanks for posting ,boy those trees arent very big
Looks like you need a set of more aggressive grouser on your tracks.
that's some good looking dirt to grow on
Now that's a well kept cat right there.
Works pretty good down hill with half wore out tracks.
That's a nice clean ol 7
Thanks !
THIS is how you make a road. Just a guy and his dozer!
Looks like this cat is ready for a new set of Paws, grousers worn down.
Deep breath..smelling that ground..

Awesome! Love it!
Was I the only one who noticed that is one hellish patch of Poison Ivy!
hey, where in the timeline? I dont think we have poion ivy here?
Makes me wana take my old d6c out in the woods. Nice steady working it there
Thanks
Now that's a blade full!
Things a beast! The deer are saying wtf?
Should have locked his hubs he could have walked up hill lol good video

in the evening, at the family meal, the 6-year-old son asks his father: "Dad, what is your job?"
The father replies, "I rip out forests and break up what allows you to breathe, to replace them with roads where thousands of cars that will emit CO2 will pass by so you can die of heat, my son."
still fire-up and very nice old cat from tjb p.s excellent skill operator of dozer.
Nice cat great operator. be careful of snakes
Run son run....!
the power of that thing is amazing
That is amazing I smell the dirt, from my computer besides the sound of the cat. meao
logging road? logging for twigs in Denmark?
This is so cool.
Excelente vídeo parabéns.
I love clearing ground👍 .what a great way to make a living
It doesn't matter what they are logging or if it's clearing new roads or old roads. The point of the video is stay out of the way because this machine and operator are getting shit done. Incredible video
Thats a fun job i love to do that for a living.
