    Kevin reminded me of a story my brother told me. He worked at a Vocational school and was in charge of a tool room. One of the students requested "A wrench". My brother asked what size? The reply was "A big one" Again my brother quizzed him and told him he had just about any size of wrench needed. The guy then told him it didn't matter as he was using it as a hammer.

    Clinton you definitely bought a can of worms with this one! I was in the Army and deployed twice and have seen people take parts off a perfectly running piece of equipment to fix theirs for whatever reason if it’s not being used! So there is a possibility that nothing was wrong with this dozer it just belong to another unit and wasn’t being used so they parted it out!

    I worked a job where I was processing items to be auctioned by the company. My supervisor had me remove all the expensive parts and place them in storage. The funny part is those parts were never used and ended up in a landfill. He knew every part by their value, but he had no plan on how to use them. He reminded me of an Army private with no understanding of the real world. It would have been better if the parts were sold in the original auction.

      @billvandorn5332 11 місяців тому +1

      Many branches of our government, local, state and federal work on the principal the only way to increase the budget is by damaging equipment and supplies and then request them for the next year's budget. They work on the backasswards theory that if you don't use the funds you won't get it next year and that's just damn silly not to mention a financial burden on the taxpayers and clients. I've known of some agencies who intentionally break their hand tools at the end of the year to get new ones. It's a damn shame really

    Robbing parts is robbing Peter to pay Paul temporary repairs that never get properly repaired, Thank goodness Clint does NOT DO THAT, when a machine leaves His shop it's factory fresh which is a breath of fresh air in today's world ,Why did they rob so many parts off a low hour tractor ?

    • @wes11bravo
      @wes11bravo 11 місяців тому +4

      Maybe some Engineers can weigh in - this is outside my wheelhouse as a Grunt but if I had to guess, it was just faster and easier to use this machine to keep all the others fully mission capable. Wouldn't think this would be a practice that was sanctioned by leadership but who knows - it's probably not that uncommon.

    • @at_3831
      @at_3831 11 місяців тому +3

      Logistics it’s faster to keep certain equipment operational by breaking one to fix many. We often did it with aircraft especially ones high in inspection hrs but a date that is far away of the major inspection.

    • @scottc5292
      @scottc5292 11 місяців тому

      Maintenance guy with the engineers here. I’ve seen this happen many times during my time in the Marine Corps. Stuff like this happens for two main reasons. 1) mechanics are pulled in many directions with competing priorities. Some don’t get the time invested to become proficient and are just trying to survive the madness. 2) the Marine Corps chose to downsize certain equipment sets to reduce cost and reallocate funds to “force modernization”. We specifically reduced the qty of dozers in our inventory. Once it is tagged for disposal, LOGCOM can give approval for cannibalization. Everything is fair game at that point.
      You would be blown away by some of the shit we used to do. I always wondered what happened to a nice piece of gear after we got done raping it.
      It makes me happy that Clint got ahold of this dozer and could right some of our wrongs. This is the main reason I am subscribed to this channel.

    • @TheMilwaukieDan
      @TheMilwaukieDan 11 місяців тому +1

      @@wes11bravototally agree. In a war situation… of which thus dozer was most likely involved a running unit will keep the others running. Less expensive and faster gor parts than ordering from out of country.

    • @billtheunjust
      @billtheunjust 11 місяців тому +2

      Machine A has a part that will take a week or two to get, machines b, C, d need parts that will take a few days. There are parts on machine A that can get b, C, d all running by the end of the day. Then when the parts come in they can all go on machine a and your back to all 4 working.

Sooo many components to test/replace/swap hoses/buy many expensive parts & lots of trial & error with more drive gear& track pieces yet to come...Clint, you gotta have the patients of a saint😇. Good to see son Mason working along side of dad, observing & learning OJT. As an armchair viewer, curious about these big machines, you (comments, camera, lighting) show the 'what/how/why' the numerous components fit together for one big machine to work smoothly in rough terrain. Will be waiting to see you (your team) finalize & do several test laps around your super shop! Stay safe & carry on!🔧⚒️👍😊

    Thank you Clinton, your videos are awesome and a lot of fun! Mason seems to be a perfect fit for the C&C shop, he doesn't seem bothered by you guys blaming him for things he didn't do and wasn't asked to do and he just keeps smiling, as he learns how the pros do things and he even gets paid for being there! I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that if the shop work slows down, Mason could get part time work at the circus, because he already knows a lot about working with clowns. :) Love your channel.
