  • Episode 1 can be found here - • 1959 Cat D7D Bulldozer...
    In this video, my buddy Will and I were able to start a 1959 Cat D7D dozer that had been sitting in a cow pasture in south Texas for 10+ years! We had to overcome several obstacles along the way, but IT'S ALIVE!!!! In the next episode, we hope to drive it out of the hole that it's been sitting in for over a decade!!!

    I’m betting it’s gonna make you decent tractor! We’ve drug a bunch of ol tractors out of the bushes and got em percolating again! They are hard to kill! 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏

      I agree! These old Cats are tough, and this particular tractor has a lot of life left in her!! Thanks, Scott

    I didn't think you could get the old girl going, but you did ... nice work! Maybe the advise from the cow helped?

      Hi Roy - good to hear from you again. I was fairly certain we would get her started, but getting her to move is another task altogether. Wish me luck! Scott

    Hi, The Bulletproof Garage.
    GREAT stuff. Thanks for sharing.
    That metal screen that you 'put back in' is intended for just that. It is a washable screen designed to catch any large particles and be used over and over. So long as it has ZERO holes in the screen and still has its shape, it'z good for another round.
    The other filters in the tower are the ones that are designed to be replaced.
    Just my 0.02.
    You all have a wonderful day. best wishes. Deas Plant.

      Hi John - it had to be a tree, and a big one at that! Good question on the sprocket; I need to take a closer look at that the next time I'm out there. Thanks, Scott
