A new dozer of the same size cost 300,000 dollars . So.. YOU GOT A GREAT DEAL for 90 % less . Any coupon cutter would crazy for that deal. Great Job , Great video. Thanks
Different books because different responsible divisions in Caterpillar or optional equipment like hydraulics and blades. The division responsible for the book also has to own the warranty internal to Caterpillar. Dealers can put on special hydraulics and tools outside of a Caterpillar responsible warranty. Love your posts. Thanks.
When you get on the 5020 South Sask Farmer on You Tube restores 5020’s. Right now he is putting a bearing in the trans. After he restores them he farmed with them. He has a lot of knowledge of 5020’s.
That filter actually has a bypass valve so when you're backing up the oil doesn't go back thru the filter and contaminate the pre filter part of oil system including the case. Now I'm gonna have to go back and watch the other episodes of thise series. Last week my Bebita Wife Maria and I was helping an 83 years young friend of ours who retired last year box up, give away, donatd and trash the contents of her apartment to move up to North Carolina to live with her son. So I got a lot of catching up on all the BoobTube channels I'm subed to. Dirt Perfect, Chris Letsdig18, Iron Trap Garage, Millinial Farmer, Larson Farms and others. Even Flight Test who builds rc airplane kits made from styrofoam and flys them from their own mini airport. Right now they're building an actual full size replica of the Star Wars racing land cruiser that holds 2 adults.
It's cool your bringing the old iron back to life, once done I'm sure it will be in service for many years, thanks for sharing your journey so far. One note on the Cat decal, have C&C Clint's son Tucker make you some new ones, he has a whole upstairs room just for making these.
Really enjoyed this one a Dozer from my youth....and I complained to anyone who would listen 70 bucks for oil change on my Ford explorer.. Be looking for more on this old girl.
Heavy equipment dollars are crazy money. Like you said, that oil might be expensive but if it keeps those finals alive it’s the cheapest oil you can get. And the best thing about the parts book is you know for sure which parts have been left off the machine over the years. My old D7 had cracked cylinder heads and when I took it apart I found that somewhere in its past it had been reassembled without the brass ferrules and rubber grommets for the coolant passages. Pretty sure that those are there for a reason.
Yes, looking forward to the 5020. It's the story behind it that makes it so interesting to me. Pulling it out getting it running and then major engine failure. It will be interesting whichever way you go about it.
One thing I always like about Cat was when you worked on most tin ware and some parts alway needed 9/16” and 3/4” wrenches. Other equipment you never new until you got there.
yes you have to vent to get flow. cold 30 wt oil is slow flow. so it is almost ready to go! that is great to get things running again. great video, thanks for the education.
Love them ole 8s 👌🤘🤘🤘🤘 could you take the elbow and put some weld on the pitted spots n grind it down , I’dno if that would help seal up the exhaust smoke poofin out ? 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I love seeing these projects. So much fun. I agree that you can’t put a price on quality clean lubricants. However the parts man can put a price on the destroyed pieces from old dirty lines. 😂😂😂
Good video Brandon. I was going to comment on the track condition after the first video, but I figured you likely had a plan. Make sure the transmission and engine are good before committing to undercarriage replacement as everything on a D8 seems to be thirty grand. Good to see Scooter didn’t have any leaky rubbers.
Excellent video Brandon :) also that Dozer tractor keeps going and you have lots years use too ahead! Also when starting up is problem with Key ignition switch or Starter because doing clunk till got kick over ? Sound like Starter needs rebuilt and should cure it too plus it Solilendo too ! Also Brandon for joke doing oil my Late Dad and uncle used says it Monkey Piss and need add in motor and transmission too Lol!
I did that's that's why I started it twice first time I ran it until oil came out. I shut it off because that had oil coming out and I had a small leak on the fuel filters
22:38 Not that it matters much... but Permatex Muffler & Tailpipe Sealer works quite well in those applications. It is like a silica paste. Cures out with heat and stays put. Pieces can still be disassembled later.
@@dirtgrainsteel It seems ghetto, and not my style at all. But I gave it a shot on one application with discontinued parts... and it worked. So I keep it around for the rare flange that seals, but doesn't seal great.
I saw a CAT bulletin recommending use of a heaver oil in the final drives. I have an old D3B which originally everything was 30 wgt. For truck transmissions there is 40, 50 and 60 wgt. Does the D8 manual recommend to use 30 or 75w90? In a truck trans I can see where the speed of the gears/bearings could sling heaver oil and not lube as well but most gears in finals turn slow with extreme tooth pressure.
Is that track the same as the newer d8 like the one Brian’s farming videos just replaced tracks on if so they had some used tracks that were in good shape something to look at maybe
I put the link for it in your comment from when you asked before diamondmowers.com/products/excavator-attachments/ex-m-brush-cutter-pro-x/ mine is the 72in

Clinton at C&C I believe has the battery box cover saved in his computer. If so he can make you a battery box cover. God bless
I'll have to ask him about one it the original isn't in very good shape
Great video Brandon WOW that’s a lot of oil in the old girl 😮. Looking forward to seeing her work 👍

It will be so much fun to push some dirt with that beast. Enjoy and blessings to you.

Yes it is...thank you and thank you for watching!....after I paint it I plan on all new decals and I'll definitely have tucker make them!
Great project, waiting on the John Deere videos. Keep them coming. Thanks
That thing is so big! Can’t wait to see it in action!
I like old Cat equipment!!
Really enjoyed this one a Dozer from my youth....and I complained to anyone who would listen 70 bucks for oil change on my Ford explorer.. Be looking for more on this old girl.
Can't beat old iron! That's going to be a great machine when you get done. Awesome project!

It's cheap when you consider a new dozer runs about a half a million. A person can restore quite a few dozers for that chunk of change. Lol
Loving this series. Those old Cats, I could listen to those engines for hours.
Tier 0 emissions! That’s what I am running too!
Love the decal you should print them and sell in your merch. Gerald, New Zealand.
You really think so?
Yes, looking forward to the 5020. It's the story behind it that makes it so interesting to me. Pulling it out getting it running and then major engine failure. It will be interesting whichever way you go about it.

That is true! It's like the older Case IH combines you could do alot with 1/2,9/16 and a 3/4 on them
Like the old saying is, grease and oil is cheaper than parts. Dave D.

Great D8 informative video Brandon very good very enjoyable thanks
Been lovin' the videos on this D8. Keep em coming 👍 like your maintenance attitude .noutlook
Thank you!
Great job guys always enjoy watching you and guys work. God bless
Thank you! And thank you for watching!!

just love the class 9 trailer hitch.
Look good on the cat be fun to see it push some drit

Just wait, you will probably see that big gear a lot closer in the near future!!
That's ok more UA-cam content
Liquid steel might fix that pitted port on muffler fill the holes - I grew up on Cats last one ran was D9T wow very nice .
I may have to give that a try!
There is an air bleeder plug on the hyd. filter cover, screwdriver slot, loosen that before starting when oil appears tighten it. Oh well......
I did that's that's why I started it twice first time I ran it until oil came out. I shut it off because that had oil coming out and I had a small leak on the fuel filters
@@dirtgrainsteel Ten 4
Get Clint to make you some good Decals
Everyone loves a dozer
Hey Brandon, just watched Silas over on Adventures Made from Scratch. He pulled a 1930 Cat 10 out of the brush. It is for sale
I'll have to check that out!
Have you got a root rake for the blade, that will be AWSOME
I would like to have a true root rake for it that goes on in place of the blade
it is a fog machine! smoked out!
If that engine has pre combustion chambers you'll need glow plugs to make it start on the hottest day of the year.

Hey I maybe able to help you with manuals
It was nice to see Dad strikes again he should be in a little bit more videos
Is that track the same as the newer d8 like the one Brian’s farming videos just replaced tracks on if so they had some used tracks that were in good shape something to look at maybe
No different width and different length with the others being a high track
@@rirebel6029 I didn’t know if it could have a few links taken out
@scrotiemcboogerballs1981 totally different undercarriage but it was a good thought
How many cubic inches the engine???? Nice job on the service big bucks
1246 cubic inch 20.4 liters
Would like information on the brush cutter used on the 200 excavator please.
I put the link for it in your comment from when you asked before
diamondmowers.com/products/excavator-attachments/ex-m-brush-cutter-pro-x/ mine is the 72in
You ever thought about painting your D8
Yes after a new undercarriage I would like to paint it
I don't think anything starts as easy as a Cat.
Shhh
😛🦾🦴👍👍👍👍👍
Wilson cat
Plus broke think your cat
