      You guys realize c& c are in Indiana! Obviously none of you guys realize how much it costs to ship an oversized dozer over and back..when a local company comes in and do it..some of you guys watch way to much UA-cam.

    It is nice to see people who wants to work, it isn't a case of how much they expect earn, it is about having employment. Growing I was always looking for opportunities to work, I bucked bails for farmers at one penny a bail, I picked wild blackberries for one dollar a gallon, I worked in the family business and learned to butcher animals. Growing up my days started at five am and didn't end till there wasn't anything else to do....

    Ask Cat if they could schedule you for PMs or if they even do it in your area.
    "Preventative maintenance schedule "
    PMs do cost a little money, but they also save money in preventing big money repairs.

    One thing I've learned in my long career in the Construction industry, is that, "no matter what !!", when it's time for maintenance, you got to do it, or you'll eat the "rotten fruits" of your greediness ! I also ate them !
    Sorry for you Ryan, good luck and Amitié de la France !

    G day from Australia Ryan a bit of my history mate 50 years earthmoving the last 26 in waste l watch your ytube channel quite often. From my experience i can see you have a lot going on you are one man you can not be everywhere,i make reference here to your cat d6 this machine should not have got to this stage with the running gear. From my experience you need a good plant supervisor or manager who can keep on top of all maintenance. (Preventive maintenance) That said we enjoy watching how you guys do things over there.

  • @lordcaptainvonthrust3rd

    Thanks for the video Mr Digg hopefully Mother Nature is in a better mood and the rain's not too bad
    But we have to have some bad days so we appreciate the good days more 👍
    P.S. Might be an idea to ask about bottom roller guards or "quarry spec" for the Cat
    You're definitely into new pads, track chains and sprockets but fingers crossed that the idlers and top and bottom rollers aren't too beat up from the worn chains riding over them
    As has been mentioned C & C Equipment might be able to help
    Keep smiling bro you're the reason we're all here 👍

  • @Skorpychan

    If you're too busy to keep up with routine maintenance, you need more machines and more employees to spread the workload around. And possibly an assistant manager so YOU aren't too busy.

    Give it a good pressure wash, to make it easy to repair.
    Sadly a big expense a little too soon - but that's life in your industry, it's hard wear and tear on the machines.
    Best of luck 🤞🏼

    Hey Mr Digg sorry you screwed up your dozer that sucks. Interesting to think about but I'm 56 years old and the county dump where I was raised has expanded at least to 20 times the size it was when I was a kid. And there are mountains built there it is crazy to watch it expand over the years.

    Ryan have them save the pads have Aaron order in some grouser bar to weld on pads it will lengthen grouser bars and save a ton of money looks like you might have to change the rails but I'd ask about turning the pins and bushings they may be to far gone also ask them what it would cost to have another set of final drive segments on hand for next undercarriage might lengthen your tail Life id also have Aaron run some hard face rod on Cross hatch pattern on corner of blade skin considering that is hard wear point also you can hard face the idlers to lengthen there Life id say you hit it close at 50 grand this time around but you can do some of the measures I spoke of earlier to save you thousands in the long run

  • @aaronrice3545

    Well?? 🤷🏻‍♂️ time flys by and it’s not like you only have “ one” thing to worry about about 🤦‍♂️ For years I ran a baby 450 an asked it to do a D8 job. But when I started it had new sprockets new web & pins an bushings tread plates had new bars welded on. Working in gravel and 80% pure sand . In two years it was too late to turn the bushings 🤦‍♂️. Motor wise? She was top notch maintenance done but I knew the tracks had just been re built an just assume had a life time of use . Well like you I was sadly mistaken 😱 it was actually cheaper for me to buy a complete track ( drive 1 pin in and go ) than the labor to salvage the tread plates they were at just 55% . Grandfather always told me “ son we don’t learn anything in life unless we make mistakes “😂😂 he was right!! Sorry to hear about the dozer but don’t beat yourself up on it your only one man you can’t be 100 different places at the same time. ❤ I know what I told you don’t help the pocketbook but your not the only one who made the boo boo 🫣

    So was it a business decision to not do the maintenance on the dozer or not keeping an eye on the hours? I ask because there is fleet management software that can track stuff like that. With my old biz I had made an Access Db to track all the equipment and their maintenance and calibration schedule.

I'm sure it would be a reclaiming system with a settling tank. Would Dave money and Clean the windows. Lol
