- This old Caterpillar D7 3T dozer was once used for logging and then to firewood production, hasn't been transported in around 50 years... Join me and friends as we try to get it started again and loaded up.
Brings back memories. The same cat is what I learned how to skid logs with.
Man what a dream find! One day 🤞
Love an old Dozer!
"Nobody stole it!" That's because you showed up and scared him off. Perfect timing, Gordy.
Give me some Indio California I used to write one of those back in the 60s in Indio California in the desert
Nice to see you went back and got her!
That’s just an added bonus seeing that Buck to your already Awesome videos Glad to see you went back and got the dozer 😎👍
Gotta love seeing old iron coming back to life🔥🔥
I know you thought that was damn sasquatch coming outta there! 😂. Can't wait to see it back to 100% functional agian!
hope you can rebuild that D7 grader. they are just amazing work horses to get things done.
Love to see old equipment brought back to life
That makes for a good story. Thanks for sharing with us. That buck was fixing to take that tractor for a ride.
Awesome. Cat logged with buddy back in the mid 70's. Yarded with a TD20, loaded with TD20 Drott with log forks. Always cleaned out the tracks at the end of the day with a clam shovel. Both cats started with pony motors.
Gotta love it, back to the olE girl loading it up and what a nice surprise seeing the buck come running out! Let her eat OR let her buck? 🤔🤣
Let there be life in the ole girl!! That is one heck of a find! And even the sounds it makes as it is rolling are not quite the same as all this new stuff, not just the ride difference in height.
Thanks for sharing this Gordy!
You bet
I've been waiting to see the second video for a long time, great job getting the old girl home and I hope we get to see more of her !
Coming soon!
I know this ain't the vid but that 201 muffler looks absolutely beautiful
I was kinda wondering what happened to it, glad to see it going to get fixed up

That buck was running ,saying what’s up dude,,, I was trying to hide from those lady’s for some shut eye, thanks BigAl California
Nice to see her go home bud! Look forward to seeing more.

I forgot about that tractor!! Good save.....it looks good!
Love seeing the old iron be saved. Keep it up man!
There is two things that old girl needs right away, a bath with a hot water, pressure washer, and a major fluid and filter change! Who knew when the last time the filters were changed?
Yep we are going to be draining everything I got a list started on stuff to fix it shouldn’t be to much work getting her turn key 👌

Man that is awesome Gordy! Congrats man on picking up such a cool old machine!
Thanks 👍
Love all your videos
Thank you
@@westcoastsaw1368 yes I'm hooked on your UA-cam channel, no BS, very entertaining, I have learned a lot watching you drop those trees. Keep up the good work, going to let my friends know about your page.
I’ve been waiting for this video. Well done 👍🏼
Pure enjoyment!👍
Love west coast!!!
Beauty
Keep up the videos on this D7, please!
Will do!
That thing gonna be nice when you get thru with it
Awesome!
It will be interesting to see you get it back to operational status 😁
Love it
Do you plan to just clean it up and get it to where it runs? Or do you plan to do a full rebuild, including the metal/paint? That Dozer should make some really good video content. Looking forward to it.
I am planning on changing all the fluids first then I started a list of stuff I need to get for it just going to make it turn key so I can use it on my property
I was wondering what had come of this dozer after you got it started last time!
I want to be like Gordy when I grow up.
😂😂
That deer scared the shit out of me
😂
Be great to make a socket that would fit where that hand crank goes do you could hit it with a cordless impact
It’s really not bad pulling it over once that motor started a few times I pull it once and it pops right off 👌
That crank has to release, it is cut that way. A socket could really hurt you if it backfired. I dealt with a D6 that would throw the crank into the bush from time to time.
Love the deer 😂
Guys got too much time on his hands😂
Now let’s see what size cottonwood it’ll pull down
Yes that’s the plan 😅
What’s the story on the Diesel Fifty? Kinda shape is it in?
👍
Don’t forget the can of engine cocaine!😅
What year is that old girl?
1953
Hope didn’t give any more than scrap value for it
🤙🏻😎🇺🇸
nothing runs like a deer! too bad the cat wasnt a john deere LOL
I’ve been waiting for this video. Well done 👍🏼
