How to destroy a bulldozer, just add rocks and watch the grousers disappear, so I make a large mistake in this video and I'll keep making videos if you promise not to tell the boys
So pile up all these rocks so that in 10,000 years some archeologist can come along and question the what, why and who and make up stories about all of it. Piles of rock in relation to alignment to constellations and human sacrifice n all that. Thats all the Egyptians was doing was just piling up rocks so the could plant.
G'day from Australia and an old '9' man from the 70s when I worked for the Hydro Electric Commission of Tasmania. I worked a 9 and from time to time a 355 Komatsu in a quarry producing rock fill for the hydro power dams back in the day. Mostly 9s as the yankee steel in the under carriage was better suited to the hard basalt and granite. Now retired but still with cat yellow flowing through my veins. Thanks for the videos.
Reminds me of the first load of logs I hauled to the mill in grass valley ca. in '72 , the load got unloaded and I forgot to put the reach pin back in , pulled right out of the reach , hoses and all !!!! Sweet ! I'm 73 now and still feel the heat ! Cheers 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much for telling about what happened on Load up of very Heavy piece of Equipment. Its great FYI. Your advice on never loaning your Truck & Trailer to anyone, good advice, have seen so many times if the person doesn't pay the repair costs, they just don't care what happens to equipment, they are just getting a paycheck to work.
The old machines are the best machines. The new machines would have thrown several codes before the job was done. Lol😂😂. Some CAT college boy that never sat in a dozer would need to come out, for $3,500.00, and clear a bunch of codes. I never realize how much I hated technology in heavy equipment until I read my comment! 😂 Love the old steel Jeff, thanks for taking us along!
A big YES, there is so much plastic on heavy equipment nowadays. I remember the older Cat Artic- Loaders where everything was metal and steel. Now they have so many plastic parts.
When you pushed up that old sofa, I was thinking, "man those rocks are really sticking together, then NO WAY those rocks are sticking like that." Then I realized what it was...😄😄😄
I’m sure you already know about the worn out rollers, this video brings back memories of many hours of moving equipment. When I was a teenager my dad sent me and a 3T cat to the neighbors house to clear a few palmettos, I slid the cat off the lowboy sideways and of course the track came off and the belly pan was stuck between the lowboy tires and the side rail of the lowboy, dad wasn’t very happy with me, but with his experience he was able to get the cat off the lowboy with only one track. I didn’t tell you I made a turn way too sharp and drove the lowboy into a ditch. It was a learning experience for me. You remind me so much of my dad. He was the man. Happy trails.
Great video Jeff always enjoy watching you work Killdozer there's definitely an art to pushing rock and not flat out destroy a machine. Ya Killdozer has taken a beating but it still can do the work. With your maintenance and care hopefully you'll get the other D9H done to relieve the work load on your D9G. Thanks for sharing stay safe Jeff.
Must be one of them new track rollers took a dump. 2:50, lefthand side, just forward of the sprocket. She's just danglin. On the neck links, I used to link the up at 90 degree with retainers, so they wouldn’t drag on the ground. Love the video. Hard job.
A few dodgy track rollers under there, maintenance on crawlers has always been hard to predict. About the only thing you can count on is if you don't look often the cost WILL go up. good luck with the job.
It's amazing.... sitting here in the process of recovering from hip replacement surgery watching your video. I can literally still feel what jobs like this do to both the equipment and the operator. While the video title is appropriate to be sure it could perhaps also include the fact that, over time, in my case 45 years, it also destroys the operator(s) as well.

I’ve been hauling these wind tower sections up past Craters of the Moon, and driving through there a couple weeks ago, I was still seeing snow down in some of the crevices along the highway. It’s hard to describe to someone who’s never been there what terrain looks like. I just know that I wouldn’t have wanted to be there when it was created!😂
Boy by the looks of things....It was good that you went to Minnesota and picked up those tracks and rails. Poor "Kill Dozer" is on it's last leg when it comes to pads, rails, and pins.

What year is a D9H? This legendary machine was originally introduced in 1974 and replaced the D9G. The D9H was the last version of the D9 series prior to the introduction of the elevated sprocket design.
Thank you for pushing grading ROCK pile Lesson. YES you are so,so Right about old Cat iron. It is built Cat tuff. I just look at the control Lever lay out, how over built the Levers were. Everything from cab to blade was tuff stuff😊 I watched a Dump truck dump in a gravel pit. And the company had put protection over cylinders on front wide track Cat modern Dozer blade, for push out of waste pile the Dumps were bringing in from new wherehouse haul out of wet muddy Dirt.
Your left hand lower roller the second one from the rear is shot, when you were trying to connect the trailer I noticed this roller moving around .is the rear most roller a single flange?
Thanks for the video jeff, it was awesome, and just like what @nfarnell had mentioned there are a few rollers that need replacing, I get it, I'm sure that there not cheap, but anyways...keep them viges coming. (Viges) isn't that what MR. LOGGER WADE says...lmao,😂😂😂😂😂😂

An employee would have brought the trailer back and asked who bent the plate’s because it was like that when I started😀. You will have to keep a “beater” dozer around for these jobs
You're an artist with the old Cat equipment.And,you are 100% correct: new equipment is in no way built like the old iron. Too many corners been cut in design and built in durability. See it on everything.
Put some WD 40 in the tool box and squirt it on the rollers , and that'll work for another week or so. And I have seen you with the welder and a hammer ⚒️ and I think you can get it done 👍..I E Mailed Frank off your friends list and the boys too on the company site that is coming out of your pay😂..! Enjoy the memorial day weekend Jeff
It doesn't seem worth the effort to move all that rock - there is a lot of clean farmland in the U.S. elsewhere to be used for crops or grazing. Crazy!
My back got sore just watching the video. Hopefully next time you're in MN you will be able to take in some of the sights. If you would of went through Minneapolis you could have swung into Zeigler Cat and checked them out 🤷♂️
Maybe you said where the concrete came from I missed it or it’s from a previous video is that concrete all from like an abandoned freeway right there that they tore up as a massive pile of concrete? Make sure you got good air filters
Got a quote from my dealer, just rollers, front idler's and chains with pads and new sprocket segments, oh and the pads I would have to bolt on as they wouldn't come assembled........drum roll please.....65 K and this was 5 years ago
What ever happened to the Barca Lounger?…when you have a Barca Lounger in a giant rock pile you need to get the footage of it!…did it make the trip up to the top or did it go under the tracks….I may not be able to sleep!
Man, 8 hrs of that would really beat up the operator too! That’s quite a pile of rock. I’d be setting up a crusher to make road base or concrete aggregate from it. Seems a shame to just pile it up.
is thats what left of a snowmobile at 15.35? one of your rollers on the inside *drivers* side is blown out.. pads already look pretty beat up.. rocks defiantly dont help.. and if thats the dumbest thing you have done in a long time your doing pretty good...
Probably in this county I'm in because they don't have gravel and have to truck it in from 40 miles away, but its very abrasive so it has to be covered with crushed gravel
You need to find a way to put your truck on that low boy? That way someone doesn’t have to take it out there for you when you’re not done with a job. I don’t know. I just thought it be cool great video. Thanks.
