@@DGHD Hi Aaron, for your videos where you have to blur out the previous owner’s company name, could you not cover it up with steel plate.

The pony motor is stopped by switching off the fuel and letting it run dry. If you don't then bad things happen over time. The fuel leaks down into the engine. Squatch253 has several episodes on how they go together including assessing ones killed by not letting them run dry.
That must be alot of fuel leaking down,guys run worn injectors for hundreds of thousands of miles that leak down,wet stacking/cylinder wash can definitely smoke a motor but I learned something today
@@alscompleteoutdoor9091 The problem is that when people don't switch off the fuel to starve the engine, they don't switch off the fuel. So they figure off is off, like other engines. But the pony motor is gravity feed and will continue pouring fuel into the carb due to vibration from operating. That will all end up in the pony motor sump. Gas doesn't lubricate, so the next time you start the pony motor is trashes its bearings. Add to that the fact that people mostly forget about servicing them and you have plenty of time for gas to accumulate and do its damage. Since you asked.
Those old cats will never die. They'll all hang around forever until somebody scraps them, not because they don't work, just because somebody doesn't know about them and thinks they're in the way. It's sad but it's the way they usually go. I have 4 old cats with pony motors and they're just amazing machines. They'll literally live forever.
Absolutely correct these old caterpillars are almost always fixable and don't have all the new crap on them there from a different time and place in a different america and it was better back then
These videos are so entertaining to watch. You pretty much need to be a mechanical archeologist to figure these machines out! It's way over my head but real neat to see.
The old1959 D4 I had said on dipstick check when running. When cold if u checked it, oil level would show over full.. but it wasn’t when’s u checked when running when warm.great job getting it running!
His clutching / steering action was short on a few critical details 🤣 I was waiting for the gearbox off the winch to blow when he stated messing with those levers
Haha I was yelling at the screen as you were trying to figure out how to turn! I am 44. At 13 I helped put a clutch in one. My boss for the job says "you wanna drive?" The next week I started as an operator for him on his TD11.
Tap e Tap e Tap on the track with an occasional air rinse when compressed air was available and that’s exactly how we did it every 12 hours of operation. But ours had an oil bath filter after the big paper pleated one. Every 12 hour shift for the paper and once a year would drop the oil and run yer finger up the intake to marvel at how well them messy old air filters worked. It was a 2U model and had the original rings and bearings after 28 years of working at that time.
Got to tell you I thoroughly enjoyed watching those old dosers and demotions and what you gotta go through to get on turning compared to today's machine incredible
Steven's right. If you've never owned gaffers tape, you owe if to your self to try a roll, special character. No glue residue, and sticks like shit to a wool blanket!
Growing up in the late 70’s, my dad was in the excavating business. From an early age, I was dad’s “oiler”. One piece of equipment I crawled around and greased was a D9. It was a beast and there wasn’t anything that would stop it. Such a blast to operate. Thanks for the memories Rich.
ive done it on an 8k for 12 hours.. its like a nicotine buzz when you get off of it you stand there and the worlds spinning around you. god forbid you didnt have earplugs your hearing is about like having a few gun shots near you without earplugs... but boy are they fun.
I have had a AC HD6 track loader was definitely a workout to run and work on when it broke seemed like every time it broke was hanging upside down to fix
The way that one fired up it seems pretty okay. Definitely a paydirt want, replacement motor for old killdirt. If I remember rightly he wasn't to happy about the dude who did the rebuild some time ago.

Great Vid. I just realised why I had a bad back for 20 years. I did my apprenticeship on Cat’s in the early 70’s & then operated D4’s & D6’s for 3 yrs. I had forgotten how much effort went into the Clutch & Brake steering ,especially when under load, & the seats were not adjustable. Love them though.
That 9 seems in good shape, mostly dry and wasn't crackling too much at start up,fairly good undercarriage looks like a keeper with lots of work left in her
It's really simple to operate a older Cat. If you want to turn right, pull back on the right clutch handle, step on the right steering brake pedal. To change or engage the main transmission push forward on the main clutch handle which engages the clutch brake, select gear and pull back on main clutch handle. Simple really it just time to learn. The pony motor also has a engagement clutch, it is the upper shorter handle. Push in pull out on gear engage handle then pull out on clutch handle.
Those old dozers were awesome! I learned how to start & run them when I was around 12 years old on our local farm! They would make a boy into a man quickly! Or they would kill you, either way 😂😂😂😂!
When I was a kid, the dozer driver I observed used to turn the motor over in decompression with the pony motor for a few minutes to make sure the motor was prelubed before starting it.
I run a D9H it had semi-U blade a ripper shank on the as long as I 'am tall. Did a lot of dirt moving with it knocking hill tops off push down to fill the bottom, to put center pivot irrigation on it for new farm going in. Made cuts that where several feet above the Roll pan with length of 100 yards or so per-push. In the winter freeze I had to use the ripper in order to bust through the frozen ground. This is in Eastern Washington State off the Snake River. I had to clear the right away for 36" mainline to go up 150' Basalt out cropping, I ripped one way going down 20' width my feet on dash simply speaking until I could lesson the grade some. That did a number on that Basalt Rock the were able to bury that 36" main. It was a real joy to run that Cat, Kenneth Boren.
You have to pull the steering lever and push the brake pedal at the same time to turn it. Left lever and left pedal for left turn, Right lever & pedal for right turn.
hillarious..the clutch and brake learning process....started running cat..d6c gearjammer with crank blade tilt.....all new cat operators should have to spend a week on one.Very basic skills and coordination. crazy how many selfproclaimed operators have no idea how to load the blade and run with it let alone just knowing where level is and how to get there by ass of the pants on the seat.
Old Cat oil levels are checked after starting. They will always show over full before you start them,makes sure you have some in the engine. Operated D9s like that during my 37 years as an operator in Ohio. They are definitely bad ass!
@@bannedbycommieyoutube5time920 this is common for really large engines like what you'd find in backup power plants and locomotives, since they might go weeks or months without being shut down, but some smaller engines are like this too. We have a old 1950s GE locomotive with twin Cat D342 engines (I think the D8 in this video has the same engine) and you check them with the engine idling and hot, it's even written right on the dipstick. If you pull the dipstick with the engine shut down it looks waaay too high.
My '64 Cat requires that the engine to be running when checking the oil. There's a screen inside to prevent splashing. If checked when the engine is off, the dipstick will read high.
Seems like these old Cats never die completely, the controls wear out and they get to where they won't turn and then they sit forever until somebody finally decides to fix it and then the cycle repeats.
Kinda surprised those old girls fired up that easily, i guess we dont know how long they have been sitting though. They definitely dont make them like they used to...
Those gas pony engines should have a fuel shutoff valve to turn it off. I got an old D9G for free that had set unused for 20 plus years cause the new property owners wanted it gone.

I bet someone was confused, when he couldn't find a joystick instead of independent actuators. I've learned how to operate early to mid 50's D-6 when I was about 6 or 7 years old. I'm almost 60 years old and still remember when my older brother and I tore my Grandfather's fields. Last time I "played" with those machines was in the early 70's. Don't ask me how to operate my late grandfather's Austin-Western Master 99 grader. It was ALL hydraulic and 4 wheels steering. That's what happens when the parents leave their kids with Grand'Pa, for the whole summer. Great times.
That old D8 is a treat. Cable operated blade, levers for days, a pony motor, and that old Cat lives up to its name. Purring like a kitty. You can’t get much better than that.
I've never been more scared watching a video than this......you didn't even move the cars out of the way and that Barn just looked like it was getting ready to get nailed oh my God
The oil probably isn't over full, it is probably designed to be checked while running. They did that because they were often only started in the morning and left run all day.
Looks like a 2U series D8 with a 13000 series engine. It is easier on the pony motor to allow the engine turn freely with no compression and let the main engine oil pressure rise before before throwing compression release lever into compression position and giving it fuel. The exhaust for the pony runs through the intake and allows that to warm up as well. All ways keep the gas topped off on the pony motor fuel tank and because the those gasoline tanks are in a terrible location being next to the main engine. Condensation is always a problem with those.
The oil is so far up on a dipstick because the engines not running that's it's cold start level but when the engine is running it supposed to be down there on them hash marks on a dipstick I know cuz I've been around him a long time
Tisk Tisk Rich!!! I am disappointed in your Dozer Skillzzzz!!! 🤣🤣
