A D11N some line boring and D9G sprocket removal, I went to Gillette to get the best shave a man can get, LOL and drive a D11N Music epidemic www.epidemicsound.com/track/m... Kylie Dailey ; Summer Love
Mr dirt thank you for the videos and all the time you spend editing glad you had some time off with friends ,hoping for you and yours a good year and as always i enjoy the sounds and smells be well and take care
I typically work 7 12’s, happen to have today off (Sunday) I wrench on heavy equipment in Alaska and here I am, on my day off watching other people work on equipment.
Great video Jeff always enjoy watching you work on your D9. Glad with some helpful tips to get that sprocket off. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Jeff.
Well, let's see now. A new to You D11, a new trailer to haul it on set up for push-pull using Ol' Kenny and the Green Truck. Probably use the detachable neck to haul the blade. Going to have to have both the Galion cranes to pick that blade.... Aaah hell Jeff, this is starting to sound a little pricey ! I've been enjoying the track frame job alot more than some people i'd guess. Thank You for Your content. Yes, Jeff always wins. Best Wishes to everyone at Anderson Construction.
G'day Jeff, Really cool vid , Bet lots of the faithful have been waiting to see that all come together for you . So , another win for Mr Paydirt. Looking forward to all the upcoming jobs , So bring it on . Respect....!
Nice to have friends like that!.. For a quick fix on the light plant, any commercial electrical supplier should have the lamps you need. In the long term, I would ditch the MH lamps. They are expensive and don't hold up to vibration. I would look into converting to LED. Instant on. They don't have to cool down to relight and they put out more light....
Glad you got a chance for a mental break. Sometimes you have to walk away from something. Then you come back to it and things start coming back together for you. One thing about the old Cats is unless you actually break the main structure it's not a a limit on rebuilding it. Always enjoy someone saving a great piece of equipment.
Love that country up there where you live. Spend 4 months capping a mountain near soda springs, Daggerson mine I believe. Would love to live up there. The trout fishing is spectacular!!❤️
During this video, I saw a shot of Gallatin Valley and the Bridger Range. We have farmed and Ranched there for 5 Generations and still do. Stop in for a Beer next time! (or soda)
we ran 40.000 PSI of metal pressure on our DCM machines for aluminum squeeze which required 2500 tons of clamping pressure to hold the die halves together....but I done forgot bout all that....psi is a diff animal when u get up in the digits and dangerous...Great Vid
Lucky to have Dean Jeff You’re right, rarely one person knows it all Hence i say, real lucky to have Dean right there…All of a sudden ‘magic tricks’ come by, and timely so Well done‼️🥂 Not your everyday story…but when it happens, it helps stacks with someone like Dean close by. Treasure him. Wish you well with the rest of the process Need a BUNCH of patience and careful workmanship Somehow, ‘Jeff wins’ reverberates…❗️ REALLY enjoyed the video Gotto get Dean a few cases of ice cold beer of good Californian wine‼️🥂 beste 🪖
Vapor trails.Jet engines create lots of heat and its cold up there...like -20 or more. hot air meets cold air and it vapors and freezes just like when you are breathing on a cold day. The only chemicals are Carbon Monoxide and water. Jet mechanic for 40 years.
Hey Jeff, I just finished up my first level of apprenticeship here in canuckistan 🇨🇦 We learned all about calculating these types of situations let’s take your hypothetical 5in piston on your tool To get the area we’ll do pi x radius squared Radius= 5/2= 2.5in 3.14x2.5inx2.5in = 19.625in sq Pressure x area=force generated 10,000psi x 19.625in sq.= 196,250lbs of force acting on that sprocket
Ran a carrydozer once….highlight of my life…hit a loose fill with a 11r and let er eat and looked Jason k on there to the moon franky vid….nothin like the 11…575 but only saw 1 round here and wasn’t on a job we worked on
parked behind your building. The orange lawn tractor with the orange soft cabin and snow blower. It looks like a AC 720 or Simplicity 9020 with optional rear drive tires. Simplicity manufactured it and hung different tin with different color paint to be sold under different names. Allis Chalmers purchased the company for a while before the employees bought it back. The Briggs and Stratton bought it along with Snapper brand. They pulled the plug on both companies recently.
I had Holt Cat come out to fix the seal in my D9H years ago. They brought a 50 ton and couldn't budge it. Came back the next day with a 100 ton and got it off.
Jeff, this must be one of the very best postings you’ve done yet Without good People, our Lives will have very little meaning or value…purpose, really Great following your stories Even with this ‘line boring’ Guy, you seem to dig out the most amazing people on the Planet : never say ‘no’ or ‘its tóó big’ or ‘tóó difficult’ or ‘too much of an effort, trouble!’ Also, the hours on that CAT D11 must truly be solid proof of how good CAT Equipment really is if you take good care of them and operate properly and with good sense and sensitivity (like they (‘the machines’) are alive and have a Heartbeat of their own…kind of thing?) Thank you again • The other day i had a strange thing happen: i looked at massive US Potatoe growers and recognized their starage bunkers (‘cellars’) I recall you did some site prep and levelling at a similar contract I’m going to look up their detail again and see if perhaps, by coincidence, these are’nt the same people❓ • My world is a much better and more meaningful place, since i’ve met you and started following your channel and Mr Griff (😳‼️) I’d like to underline that and thank you kindly for great influence and fun, impact Love your dry sense of humour and excellent work ethics You go well in the meantime… Beste ex ZA’s Fairest Cape 🥂 👊🔥 🪖
Light plant bulbs can be purchased at most any electrical supply, take the old one with you to match it up. I would guess 400 watt metal halide or high pressure sodium.
Always heat from the outside in, if you heat the inside the metal fights to expand against the cooler metal outside causing the inner bore to contract.
Be nice to see Jeff running that 11 with a blade on it. Just think of the holes he could dig. Old Kenny would need a few more kitties under the hood to move it though
You should be able to get the metal halide lamps at an electrical supply house such as Platt but you can also remove the ballast and hook power directly to the lamp socket and use a modern LED lamp in those nowadays.
I guess there's some science in not just heating the centre. If you do tha the bulk on the outside doesn't expand and in effect the centre can only move inwards and so tightens the grip rather than loosening it. You're right about leaving the nut on. I saw a video of a small traxcavator sprocket flying several feet when it finally let go. Jeff wins anyway!!
Holy shit take the nut off? where did they learn that? Damn them sprockets can get on there. I have never done a D9 of any variety. A bunch of smaller tractors and a few 8's. and a 983 which is a big assed hunk of iron. . All I remember about the 983 (it was 30+years ago) the stuff was heavy and it took all of the 100 ton service press and a few well placed blows from a 20 pounder to get the sprocket hub to let go. The old timers always told me to and I believe the service manual will tell you splines go back together dry. Yer gettin ''er Jeff one bite at a time.
Kyle Fisher is an awesome young man, he could probably machine the parts you need to reinstall the gear! Too bad its 120 miles down here to Tree Town..
When you use that Hydraulic Cylinder in the pull function, you have to subtract the area of the rod from the area of the piston to calculate the force of 10KPSI applied to the system. The oil pressure can't get applied to the piston under the rod in the pull direction, for those that missed Hydraulics class. You do use the full area of the piston in the extension direction.
239,000 hours is a long time! It's nearly 28 years working 24/7 365 days a year! D11 introduced in 1984 so Dean's must be an early model. He'd have been a young guy when he started working on it. Amazing longevity, guess that's why people buy Cat.
Jeff I work for an electrical supply house and we can’t get then. Check with the folks that sell or rent the light towers. If I am not mistaken is 690 0r 940 what MH lamp
ChatGPT is great for simple applied physics, got me through college 🤓. Cloud seeding has been around for hundreds of years. We are now doing chemtrails, aka crop dusting, with drones 😂. I know because I do it😅
Well not all contrails/chemtrails are coming from the engine exhaust. Some planrs have the fixed nozzles on the wings. The trail is wider and turns to a cloud rather than dissappear like contrails.
Those special stands you are using with the D9. Are there D10 or D11 certified or did they need maybe another decade of development? They can also double as a heat source. Though that would be a one time use, without a high BTU output due to their composition.
You might be able to buy a direct wire LED bulb to replace the Metal Halide, either will be available at a good electrical supply house near you. Take the bulb in, don't touch the new bulb with your skin or get any oils on it, causes them to burn out faster; LED don't care about that so much. Check the voltage the machine is supplying to the lights if you want to change to direct wire; not sure if that is 3 phase, 1 phase 110 or 220volt but that will tell them the right bulb to order if you want to change it over. or just look at a whole new light head $$. The bulbs wont be so bad, new head cost quite a bit more but getting better all the time, or inflation is just making it seem like it isn't so bad. one of those.
Chemtrails huh... I lost one spray emitter the other day at TOD going into PHNL, there's no MEL relief and MX couldn't fix it so YSSY cxld. The worst part is the airline isn't getting paid for spraying that leg and since its international thats even more $$$... bummer 😮
Just an fyi, those planes are thousands of feet apart vertically, they are both in extremely different temperatures, and both creating vastly different amounts of horsepower AKA heat..
Big Dee ♬ eee ♬ Big Bad ♫ Dee ♪ Well he stood 14-11 and weighed 🤯♩ 👀Only God knows . D-11N 🤯 Boring job that line boring😊 I had to watch the sprocket pop twice and I jumped both times.
So? ... paper towels... 🤔 humm, how can I say this without getting into trouble 🤔 🤬 I can't ... so here ' goes.... the wife stole a case of my shop towels. After one of my surgeries the wife broke into my parts room, looking for something, and found my SHOP towels. Lets skip forward till a few weeks ago. She asked where I got the BLUE paper towels because they worked much better than the white ones for her projects. Then she informed me that SHE had ran out and WE needed more. 🤯 🤦😶😒😣😫😫🤬 and that's all I'm going to say about that.
Mr Dirt no disrespect just don't you want to replace the Gears or Cogs on the Drive Wheel while it's Off ?? Great work I've learned a lot watching you ! ☮ 🍁
