I'm here from Diesel Creek. Subscribed with notification bell. That Mack with the Low Boy is Bad a**! Thanks for the hard work and dedication brother. I am enjoying this, now I'm off to binge watch all your stuff 😊
I had the pleasure of being employed with Caterpillar in the Glasgow Plant here in Tannochside, Scotland...and we built BOTH of these Models.. D8H and 977K along with the D6C in the early 70's. I was only 19 years of age, and it was the first Factory i had ever worked in, It was great seeing many of the parts being machined from raw materials to the finished component and assembled, painted and shipped across to Europe, Africa, Arab countries and Australia. And believe it or not, the local company who hauled them to the Docks had two Mack Trucks one long nosed and the other Flat faced model..I loved working there for 14 years until Caterpillar closed the Plant in late 1987..so it was good to see these old machines again, thanks for the Video.
I love the super liner. Makes me think of seeing JR Collin’s “Killer Mack” pulling truck as a kid. That truck had a few thousand thousand horsepower but still has the same bark as your truck with both idling around.
Those two look like they date from around 1975 or so. They were both built in East Peoria building LL and I was a tractor test driver and inspector back then. When the put the dozier arms and blade assembly on they used spline drive air motors and then we would check the torque with six foot torque wrenches. Those pony motor starters could become a problem if the Bendix gets stuck when the diesel fires up. All of a sudden that little two cylinder gas engine is turning about 6000 RPM.
When I started work in ‘71, I loved to watch the D8s and 9s pushing the 637 and Ts24 scrapers on the motorway projects we had going on in the UK. This brings back good memories…. ❤️
You and matt are in a league all ur own,those guys willing to move heavy haulers around got brass tea bags and got to hand it to them fellas keeping roads flat and smooth for running them huge loads year in and out.for putting life n limb in harms way also keeps america growing.snookie pa.
New sub here, I've been following Matt for years. So glad you're part of the UA-cam team. Your truck sounds great, your work ethic and Matt's are twins. You have a great smile and (to me, anyway) your voice sounds like "Let's dig 18! You've got it all covered. Enjoyed this video a bunch. Stay well, stay safe!
Really good to see you guys working together !! On most of Matt's videos he's doing 3-4 men jobs by himself ? But we've seen you come to his rescue !! so it's nice to see him help you !! I'm guessing it's not that lopsided ? All we see is what's on video. Great to see collaboration
Thank you for showing the hard work of taking of front blade of Cat-D-8 😊 there is so many into roading those beasts to different locations. I love the backhoe attachment on the old girl towed behind pickup 🛻. I also spyed a old Case 580CK When hitching up the Mack to lowboy. 😊 I cut my teeth on that type of backhoe as a new operator. Thats what I learned on Now in 2023 I own my own 1978 Dynahoe 190. My play toy, and having something from Bucyrus Erie history that sadly is gone, with Cat buying them from shareholders. I do have my investments in Cat equipment though 😊❤😊
That Mack is something else!! I’ve been watching diesel creek for awhile, never heard of Scrappy till now. Thoroughly enjoyed this one, I love seeing these dinosaurs run! Also can anyone tell me if the pony motor for the D8 runs on unleaded?
That sound of the V8 Mack engine is my favorite sound out of all the rigs out there! My cousins ran one for years with their paving business, that’s how I came to know those engines.
Looking at you two working on this machine, I can just imagine yrs ago, two young kids working on a mini bike or my favorite…an old riding mower. Anything to drive in the yard or in the woods. 😎
I think you need a FOPS/ROPS system on the D8, much better than having a limb from a tree you are pushing come crashing down on your head. By the way, the location where the video has been shot is very pretty.
That Superliner!!! Man oh man! Great save in the yellow iron! BTW your camera man needs a raise or is that part of his wellness program to run behind the truck lol.
The story goes that a logging company on the west coast bought several new non Cat tractors to work in the woods. The old hand being presented with his new tractor immediately took an ax and cut the mufflers in several place. When asked by the yard boss what the Hell he was doing the reply was 'It may not be a CAT but it will damn sound like a CAT! The first few seconds of starting the 8 made me subscribe of course!!
Matt and Sam just trying to kill each other, OSHA need not worry everything is top ho, tickety boo and just the dandy job, carry on guy's, and of course we all 🤞🤞🤞for overcast weather for the Sat images!😆
I know you did a lot of engine work to the Mack, I hope it is just the mic on the go pro but it sounds like it is missing. Love the content and Thanks for letting us watch you work!
This is just the reason all my dozers are C frame angle blade or rake so simple to remove blade 5 to 10 minutes. Why break it down just load on trailer push arms up hello
My Father bought a brand-new Caterpillar 955H in 1963 to be used on high altitude Hydro Electric Dam projects in Switzerland. The first was a Traxcavator 977 in 1957. H is US-Built | B Belgium | G France
Can't wait to see more from both machines, and Matt's as well. Newer machines are nice and midern, and have all the bells and whistles, but the older stuff was made really well and are work horses. Started following you due to Matt! Looking for more. Love the 977 myself.
When I was a young boy I watched a mechanic beat out a tilt cylinder pin. I used to tag along with my dad as he was the superintendent. When it came free it went right through the door of his brand new service truck door. I was probably 12 and I think they had hydraulic pressure to it. The reason it was so imprinted is I had never heard the language that came out of his mouth. 😂 Came from Diesel Creek.
I came over and subscribed from Diesel Creek. Enjoy watching all that you and Matt do with the old iron. You two make a great team!
Thank you I appreciate it!
Me too.
me 3
And me 😎

All I can say, is you guys are so lucky to have each other to call on whenever necessary… Priceless

Man that D8 looks like it's in good shape for its age. The steering looks real tight.
There will soon be a new UA-cam channel: DUMPSTER DIVING WITH DIESEL CREEK. Come for the diesel, stay for the dive.
I love hearing that turbo on that mack.Sounds really good.
That Mack is something else!! I’ve been watching diesel creek for awhile, never heard of Scrappy till now. Thoroughly enjoyed this one, I love seeing these dinosaurs run!
Also can anyone tell me if the pony motor for the D8 runs on unleaded?
I too came to your site because of Diesel Creek...always the best videos...
I just come over from Matt diesel Creek I also subscribe to your UA-cam channel
Man what a score, I would have loved to get my hands on a D8 like that. You never forget the loud Turbos on those, sounds awesome.
Diesal Creek and SCRAPPY industries are muppet characters that always win 😂😂😂.
That sound of the V8 Mack engine is my favorite sound out of all the rigs out there! My cousins ran one for years with their paving business, that’s how I came to know those engines.
Matt rummaging through the dumpster like a homeless guy was classic.😂 First time viewer, you got my sub. Awesome stuff.
”I got Billys muffler!” Had me dying 😂😂.
😂😂😂
Only point when I laughed too.
I laughed so hard too funny...!!!
Looking at you two working on this machine, I can just imagine yrs ago, two young kids working on a mini bike or my favorite…an old riding mower. Anything to drive in the yard or in the woods. 😎
Love that Mack!! Not much difference between western Pa and eastern Pa. Except for the mountains. I miss working the big iron.
That mack sounds amazing
D8H looks awesome.
Great videos you and Matt are doing is cool. What a chore to get them home.
The Ol' Bull Dog and 8 sound GREAT!!!
Big iron is big fun, thanks for sharing.
The Cable Guys!! A collab channel!! Something about you 2 is just not right! 😂😂
Scrappy have watched you and Matt do some pretty awesome stuff with the old iron , will definitely be watching you both !
I think you need a FOPS/ROPS system on the D8, much better than having a limb from a tree you are pushing come crashing down on your head.
By the way, the location where the video has been shot is very pretty.
Yep Diesel sent me looks like you got me😅
I know it is a Mack and has straight pipes! I drove for many years and have never heard a exhaust sound like that.
That Superliner!!! Man oh man! Great save in the yellow iron! BTW your camera man needs a raise or is that part of his wellness program to run behind the truck lol.

The story goes that a logging company on the west coast bought several new non Cat tractors to work in the woods. The old hand being presented with his new tractor immediately took an ax and cut the mufflers in several place.

The Mack sounds like it needs some engine work.
Love the mack V8 we had one in a renault magnum 600 think originally it was 500
Greta loves you guys....
The engine in your Mack truck sounds like it has a dead cylinder.
Y’all need to stop and check out the yellow car at the house! Looks like a GTX or maybe an old charger
This is just the reason all my dozers are C frame angle blade or rake so simple to remove blade 5 to 10 minutes. Why break it down just load on trailer push arms up hello
Curious as to the road sign on the right in orange says fresh oil and chips lol
Does the Mack sound like it is on injector short of a full dog or is it my imagination?
I’d love to find a D9 H to put on my 100 ton low boy and drag it with my MackDM800 we never grow up but our toys did 🐾✌️🇺🇸
THAT Pile of caterpillar is STILL MIGHTY CAPABLE...CEE (AUSTRALIA) JUST REBUILT similar blade- worth a kings ransom ...lol
About 55-60k aust. new. 15k for that rebuild.
New subscribers from Matt
gee...new sub here...thanks matt...great vid...greetings from canada...
That truck sounds strange, the engine is working on all cylinders? (34.00 ++)
Your mack sounds good but it sounds like there is a little to much diesel turn up on it.
Gostei do seu trabalho 🤝💯
Dam the ol V8 sounds good
H run up through the push arm from mid 20,000 serial #
Why does ur truck sound like it has a miss ? Is it the the way the exhaust is ?
Sorry if is a dumb question, but does that Mack V8 have a cam in it? It just sounds lumpy, or is it just video sound weirdness. 😊
What year/model is your Mack truck?
can ya turn on closed captions?
That is the strangest sounding Mack engine I have heard. Just doesn't sound right.
A friend of Matt’s can be a friend of mine . Just subbed like your channel .
Matt sent me and I subscribed to your channel. Love watching the rescue of old equipment.
Saw you on Diesel Creek and decided to pay you a visit and subscribe also.

Diesel Creek taking a break from video editing 😅
Great job scrappy industries 👍
He must because one video every two weeks .
I’m here because of Matt’s video about this…. Out earlier today
Can't wait to see more from both machines, and Matt's as well. Newer machines are nice and midern, and have all the bells and whistles, but the older stuff was made really well and are work horses. Started following you due to Matt! Looking for more. Love the 977 myself.
Glad to see Matt is a part of Team Scrappy.Looking forward to many more videos Sam..😊
👍👍👍👍👍👌Forget to mention the enjoyable ride through the country side and the sweet sound of them pipes!!
And that good looking gold bulldog on the hood! Don't see many of those anymore. Sure brought back some memories.
Visiting from diesel creek. Whats going on?
When I was a young boy I watched a mechanic beat out a tilt cylinder pin. I used to tag along with my dad as he was the superintendent. When it came free it went right through the door of his brand new service truck door. I was probably 12 and I think they had hydraulic pressure to it. The reason it was so imprinted is I had never heard the language that came out of his mouth. 😂 Came from Diesel Creek.
