Enjoyed your video immensely as I do all your videos. It is interesting to see the progress on all your project and non projects. Keep up the good work.
Wow! You de-mystified for me how these things move. I always thought it was some sorta magic. So impressed how you use mental Judo to manage oversized projects. And thanks Malcof lincoln for telling us how to steer it.
Awesome video, very helpful to all of us other dozer owners. I would love to see an update in a Part 2. I know you are probably busy with other projects but maybe a quick walk around the dozer and/or show the new clutch assembled and discuss plans to install? Keep up the good work!
You should be proud of yourself to have the knowledge and expertise to work on so many pieces of equipment and vehicles. Very impressive and interesting to watch you. Thanks so much for the videos...…….Sandy
One of the hardest things for me is knowing when enough is enough. I've gotten so caught up in a few projects that by the time I was finished I could have bought the thing new, so that's a smart move to recognize that new parts might fix it "once and for all," but sometimes "that'll have to do" works even better. Thanks JW, it's always fun hanging out with you.
A LeBlanc Yup, 'mission creep' has taken it's toll in my shop at times. The whole 'well while I'm here' mentality I suffer on occasions has cost quite a bit of time and money over the years.
Noah is learning valuable skills as he works with you. One very important caution: lifting 120# is dangerous. I injured my back while in the USAF at age 21, lifting a heavy roll of coaxial cable with another guy. I have had 50 years of pain since.
I bought one of these last fall and the right side slips . I found your videos looking to see how big a job it is. No walk in the park but doable! Thanks for the vid.
Good lesson there Professor JW. With all the lessons you've been giving him pretty soon Noah will be teaching. Never now what's going on at JW's place. That's what we're working on, well one of the many things we're working on. Good stuff gentlemen.
So the clutch is basically like an automatic transmission. Even the brake band resembles a transmission band. Always wondered how all that worked. Thanks jonathan!
Not quite, I'll try and explain. Both steering clutches are engaged and the brakes off. It has a normal manual transmission, clutch and gears etc. To turn say to the left, disengage the left steering clutch. To turn sharper you apply the left brake. Then when you are pointing in the right direction, release the brake and re-engage the steering clutch.
Very common problem with older dozers that have dry clutches. If they sit even condensation can build up enough to rust the clutch discs together. Pulling out the clutches on a big dozer is interesting. You have to stand on your head and wrestle a couple hundred pounds down in a hole.
247 lbs chuck.... and your buddy had it in the floorboard of his car.... LOL I bet that was fun to get it in and out of the vehicle.... Would have been interesting to watch him do it.... Looking forward to part 2 on this one....
thank goodness for noah. he is a good helper, and if mentally capable, being around you, will get the proper way to make good with mechanics. you are his college. the good college. the one where morality is as important is book larnin. so ya'll air doing good again jonathan. best of luck to noah, and not get hurt. that is important, that he doesn't hurt you or himself.
You may have lucked out, me n pop's did the same thing on a cat td - 9 one side was jamned n the other was marginal. The cover plate was 1 4 both. One side was so bad in the finals bearing after bearing , track plates n chain. The story on that was batteries sat on the plate it leaked down n tore everything up. I think u will b ok patchin it up. Nice job.
Good as normal Jonathan but still think u be on the back burner noah doing really well im glad his Hart is in the job and not in the head cos then thay want to pick and choose what job thay want to do. But he is really in to I'm really pleased to c that so all I can say is please keep him going cos there's not many people out there wich can do that he can. And beonest I for got u got machine. Wich is not normally for me cos that's the stuff I'm in to. But good job all the best to you and noah from Andy in UK
You could probably disconnect the drive and head- and turn the Ways around. You might have to weld on a few Bosses for connecting, but it's on rails any way. Or- chop out the buggered section and start from new.
There certainly is no end to your mechanical skills and what you'll take on. I do the same here with equipment I farm with Buy something cheap and a little unusual I can fix up and use, then scrap it when it's totally worn out as I don't have much in them . It was fun when I was younger but with having to fix my stuff and some equipment for other guys to, the novelty's starting to leave in a hurry L.O.L. I was looking at my one expensive " good" tractor the other day even it's getting a bit worn out now and high hours and should be replaced as my main machine. Maybe I should just figure on quitting farming with what that units worth to replace now ! Hows the Belarus pump going, I got a junk one here on the shelf might have some parts left in it you need . Robert
Good find on the 3 jaw chuck. Were you lucky enough to get the outside jaws for it? Wouldn't be a bad idea to tear it down and clean the scroll and everything, then lube it. OK, just a hint -- when you machine the adapter and mount it on that lathe and machine it true for the chuck, maybe center punch witness marks on the pieces so that if you ever have to take it apart or remove it from the lathe, it will go right back in the same position and still be true.
Are the new brake liners going to make up sufficient distance to makeup for the material you're going to clean up off of the drum? If that drum gets too small i would imagine that brake ring could close all the way up before it would clamp sufficiently. I hope there is enough gap on it to close up.
I didn't look to see if anyone mentioned it, but Belarus, pronounced "bel-ə-ROOSS" is the area more commonly known as "White Russia". Paint it white after you get it running!
you might want to spend a few minutes and figure out a decent gasket to seal the cover on with so rain and snow won't get into the turning clutch chamber.. i would probably try to mount the drum on something to really get the outside smooth.. even if you are just doing it with against a scotch brite wheel on an angle grinder.. non directional finish. how hard is it to take out the other side for inspection since you have it torn down.. to at least reline the other brake band, smooth the outside of that drum.. check the clutch discs.. save the labor to do tear it all down again. then you are done for a decade with it. long term investment in the one set of components that will leave it deep in the wrong spot if they fail. i did not save or bookmark it.. i ran across a steering clutch aftermarket catalog online a while back. but i did send the link to a friend for his JD skidsteer version.. www.miba.com/fileadmin/user_upload/Divisionen/Friction/Downloads_Friction/Miba_Friction_delivery_program_replacement_parts_16-17.pdf Komatsu starts at page 110 hope this helps.. chances are that's who you are already buying them from.. might even be worth the time to put the old worn out chuck back on to spin the drums up for scotch brite polishing.. on the old 4 jaw.. are the screws threads worn out or the gaps for the thrust.. got some spacers you could drop in.. if the jaws don't have a lot of play in the slides.. since its a 4 jaw.. you can just grind new surfaces on the clamping jaw faces.. does not matter if they match exactly.. would not be hard to make them match.
How do you ever have any Free time for yourself ?? You run the Calls for the Wrecker and are always workin' on something or some vehicle.... Jonathan,, I believe you need to Hit the River with a 5" bream and catch an 'OL Monster Catfish sometime.... Just sayin".....
Interesting clutch steering repair. Love you old machinery. That new chuck is a beast! Newk from Kentucky
Enjoyed your video immensely as I do all your videos. It is interesting to see the progress on all your project and non projects. Keep up the good work.
Very enjoyable video and educational thanks for the hard work great video thank you.
That's a LONG lathe!
And now I know a little bit about a dozer steering clutch.
Good as usual.
Thanks!
Wow! You de-mystified for me how these things move. I always thought it was some sorta magic. So impressed how you use mental Judo to manage oversized projects. And thanks Malcof lincoln for telling us how to steer it.
Thanks very educational, love the new chuck, have fun with that.
Awesome video, very helpful to all of us other dozer owners. I would love to see an update in a Part 2. I know you are probably busy with other projects but maybe a quick walk around the dozer and/or show the new clutch assembled and discuss plans to install? Keep up the good work!
Awesome video again JW
Noah sure has one heck of a great teacher !,,another enjoyable video , thank you!,
WOW! To be honest i had forgotten all about the dozer. Glad you're making some headway on it. Keep up the good work.
You should be proud of yourself to have the knowledge and expertise to work on so many pieces of equipment and vehicles. Very impressive and interesting to watch you. Thanks so much for the videos...…….Sandy
God I just love all you can do. Thanks
Jonathan, You took me back a ways I did a few final drives working at a cat dealership thirty years ago, great videos
Brilliant Jonathan I love your projects 👍🏻 Stevie 🏴
As always ! Great video, thanks
Thanks Jonathan, Great video.

Yup, 'mission creep' has taken it's toll in my shop at times. The whole 'well while I'm here' mentality I suffer on occasions has cost quite a bit of time and money over the years.
Very interesting can learn a lot watching this stuff thanks keep up the good work you are making a smart man out of your little buddy
great work there buddy,thanks.keep em coming.
Thanks Johnathon, good video.
Noah is learning valuable skills as he works with you. One very important caution: lifting 120# is dangerous. I injured my back while in the USAF at age 21, lifting a heavy roll of coaxial cable with another guy. I have had 50 years of pain since.
You Sir, have an amazing brain for machines.
never seen one apart before!! cool!!! just a light little chuck there!!! ha ha great vid!!!!
thank you I love your toys.
Love your video's keep up the good work.
Great video thanks Jonathan.
Great information, Thank You JW
I bought one of these last fall and the right side slips . I found your videos looking to see how big a job it is. No walk in the park but doable! Thanks for the vid.
PS where is part 2
Fascinating, many thanks.

So glad you got it Johnboy at lease you will get it back running again and cant wait until you get it finish.
Noah sure is getting a lot of practical education. also, he has an excelant teacher.
ENJOYED , Lots of work but it should be a good rig ! Thanks man..

I like the old bulldozer. Very cool.
Did you ever do part 2
Where Is the second video ??? Would love to see what happened to this old dozer.
Great video
Great video very interesting
I have done same thing on ol D.7.Cat..took 2 and built one lol... enjoyed your video keep up the good work check you later

I bet that was fun to get it in and out of the vehicle.... Would have been interesting to watch him do it.... Looking forward to part 2 on this one....
Seen him curl 110 one arm with no problem. Wasn't a struggle for him.
Now that's a Fellow you want on your side if a Brawl was to breakout....
Bet he's a easy going fellow too....
Probably spends the day toting engine blocks around ☺
thank goodness for noah. he is a good helper, and if mentally capable, being around you, will get the proper way to make good with mechanics. you are his college. the good college. the one where morality is as important is book larnin. so ya'll air doing good again jonathan. best of luck to noah, and not get hurt. that is important, that he doesn't hurt you or himself.
Determined to bring it back!
You may have lucked out, me n pop's did the same thing on a cat td - 9 one side was jamned n the other was marginal. The cover plate was 1 4 both.

u ever do a part 2 video
That would be great lathe for building drivelines
A good sandblaster would clean that drum nicely. Water gets in, and rust jacks everything together.
good stuff
Nice work Noah! Oh.... and you too Jonathan- haha.
Trying to find your part 2 did you make one
Nice job getting it torn down. Hopefully the other side didn’t get rusty as well.
My guess was right on the steering problem, at least you didn't have to break the track for access.
I got excited about this dozer repair but it seems like there are no more updates on it.
Hey JW, Didn't you promise a part 2 here?
I'm surprised you even checked into how much the brake shoes cost! "They want $175 for this. I'm not gonna do it!" That tickles me.
Johnathan did you film part two I can't find it. If not no problem it was an interesting repair, you don't get to work on a lot of dozers.
Good as normal Jonathan but still think u be on the back burner noah doing really well im glad his Hart is in the job and not in the head cos then thay want to pick and choose what job thay want to do.

So, what happened to Part 2 ?
You could probably disconnect the drive and head- and turn the Ways around. You might have to weld on a few Bosses for connecting, but it's on rails any way. Or- chop out the buggered section and start from new.
Where is part 2??? Did you get it running ? Or ??
When is part 2 coming?
Can you put that brake band on a lathe and smooth her up a wee bit, without taking too much off? Good video!

Johnathan did you get to part 2 yet.
What does working on you lay have to do with working on steering clutches
can you turn the brake surface in your lathe and make up the difference in the lining?
Good morning.
I have a question on the track tensioner.
i drove one of these. you get thrown around in the seat on turns and takes a little getting use to scraping off sod
Rust Never Sleeps.
👍😎

Shane Singleton : the bands should be adjustable at the Clevis on the steering lever.
Is there anything he doesn't know about?
no
no part 2?
I didn't look to see if anyone mentioned it, but Belarus, pronounced "bel-ə-ROOSS" is the area more commonly known as "White Russia". Paint it white after you get it running!
Got it stuck and ran it till the drive clutch smoked, then walked away. Many years later, enter Johnathan.
try a automatic transmission shop for clutches and plates
Can you soak the chuck in evaporust?
unable to find part 2
where is part 2?
Part 2?
WHERES PART #2, U GIVE UP ON IT...
🇺🇸👍
Been 4 months wheres #2 video?
havent done it yet
Jonathan W Any updates on the dozer? A quick Part 2 would be awesome showing new clutch assembly and re-install.
What can't you fix?
What would you charge to do this for me?
Put the clutch in Metal Rescue.
James Bond USA version. Hehe
you might want to spend a few minutes and figure out a decent gasket to seal the cover on with so rain and snow won't get into the turning clutch chamber.. i would probably try to mount the drum on something to really get the outside smooth.. even if you are just doing it with against a scotch brite wheel on an angle grinder.. non directional finish. how hard is it to take out the other side for inspection since you have it torn down.. to at least reline the other brake band, smooth the outside of that drum.. check the clutch discs.. save the labor to do tear it all down again. then you are done for a decade with it. long term investment in the one set of components that will leave it deep in the wrong spot if they fail. i did not save or bookmark it.. i ran across a steering clutch aftermarket catalog online a while back. but i did send the link to a friend for his JD skidsteer version.. www.miba.com/fileadmin/user_upload/Divisionen/Friction/Downloads_Friction/Miba_Friction_delivery_program_replacement_parts_16-17.pdf Komatsu starts at page 110 hope this helps.. chances are that's who you are already buying them from..
might even be worth the time to put the old worn out chuck back on to spin the drums up for scotch brite polishing..
on the old 4 jaw.. are the screws threads worn out or the gaps for the thrust.. got some spacers you could drop in.. if the jaws don't have a lot of play in the slides.. since its a 4 jaw.. you can just grind new surfaces on the clamping jaw faces.. does not matter if they match exactly.. would not be hard to make them match.
ANT OR DONT THAT RUN IN OIL,
Tengo kamatsud20p-6 cuando jalo palanca izquierda frena lado derecho también alguien m. Puede dar idea
I believe those are wet clutches
