Dresser IH TD-25G track frame repair | Rebuilding track frame guides 

Hey guys, it's the old VT logger, l just want to give a shout out to , Mason. It's great to see a kid as young as him, to be working in such a heavy equipment environment, and never complains. Not many young kids that could handle that! Kudos to you, MASON !

The reason Clint’s content is so interesting is because he is a good mechanic and a good fabricator, that’s a rare combination.

Hunter, Tucker and Mason are so lucky to be learning the trade from you, they will never be out of work. I only hope they realize the value of what you are teaching them.

20 years from now Tucker will be doing a video "this is my Dad's dozer we fixed up years ago and it needs some attention. My Brother and I along with our company engineer Mason are going to fix it up for him". That's a darn good sized dozer right there. Watching all you fellas working and cutting up makes me nostalgic for my old buds back in the railroad shop working on locos using giant size tools making jokes that don't go well with family channel RU-vid videos. Thanks.

Mason is becoming very intuitive. Good to see someone who forward thinks about the process you are performing.

Poor Mason, he cops a lot. I hope you’re treating Mason well. He’s a very good employee and puts up with a lot. He’s my employee of the month.

You guys never cease to amaze me. Always "FIX IT" don't replace if if you can fix it. It's good you're teaching your sons how important that is in the future.

I give you guys a lot of credit with how much work you get done with Kevin being around. The last clip of the astronaut and Mason, almost had me pissing in my pants from laughing.

Clint, thank you for being so patient and instructive with your apprentices. They are our future.

It’s crazy the knowledge Clint has with pretty much all dozers. Almost like he’s worked on every make and model of dozer made.

Clint, I would like to encourage all of you to implement an ear protection protocol. Those impact wrenches and grinders can take a toll on your hearing. I’m sitting here with a thousand crickets singing in my ears from not protecting myself during years of wrenching. It’s called tinnitus and it’s not reversible. Like vision, once hearing is gone, it’s gone. Thanks, Bud!

These are by far my favorite C&C vids. No auctions, no BS, just working of heavy equipment! The best.

As I watched this video, and I worked construction for over 40yrs, work on cars, and all that stuff, you get it, and it dawned on me that guys like this is what made America great, hard working guys who make, or try to make things better, contribute to society, not taker's, these are the people who MATTER in our country, they don't have to "Identify" as anything other than what and who they are. I appreciate people like this.Just saying.

School get the certificates , but you can't beat hands on to really learn , nice to see you working with your boy's , love the banter , keep the vids coming , Richard UK

I’m new here! I have one problem with your channel! I can’t stop watching it you’re the reason I’m loosing sleep 😂😂😂😂 keep doing what you’re doing I’ll keep loosing sleep promise 🤣🤣🍺🍺🍺🍺cheers guys 🇦🇺🍺👍

Super glad to see Tucker with the safety glasses on. I know they suck to wear but you just get one set of eyes. Good video as always.

Great work by Mason and Tucker, they are really coming along!

Love to see people resurrect and use AMERICAN BUILT equipment. You guys work so well together. Your videos are enjoyable and bring back memories working on heavy iron. Thank You.

I vote for any length, we will watch. Thanks for all you and all the gals and guys at c and c give us!

You are killing it! Say posted 11 minutes ago and has 785 views. It would seem the more you post the faster your channel grows. Keep it up...

Great to see you including the boys in your projects! You don't know how valuable this is. I started 48 years ago rebuilding a 5r D6 with my dad and can still remember things of that machine. 50 years later we are still rebuilding Caterpillar machines. I will never stop!

Thanks for sharing gentlemen...Back in the old'en days after the dinosaurs left we us to pound the track pins out by big big sledge hammer and old 5 ton truck stabilizer bar we used as a punch. We had muscles in our poop back then.

At least someone used anti seize on the bolts and nuts for you Clint. Makes jobs so much easier. Great work out there and how your boys are getting into the family biz.

I truly like your thinking the way you save a part, when you can, rather than chuck it. Remember when my young apprentices would give me the eye and wonder why I did that at times. If it's cost effective then that's when you bite the bullet and do it. Most of them took pride in their handy work with a job like that, and that followed them through with their chosen profession. Welding skills, machining skills and all the rest improved ten fold, they became more than parts changers and opened their minds to why these certain parts wear out or break.

It’s great that your two sons are able to do some much to help 👏👏👏🇬🇧

Shop talk is always appreciated during the work day!

Nice to have young knees helping you to do all of the climbing and crawling!😸

Hello C&C Crew: Everybody needs a dose of KEVIN in their lives. "Laughter is the best medicine".Keep the videos coming.

If Tucker is smiling then so am I! Thumbs up for that! 👍

I work on heavy equipment every day and there goes good at what they do, love watching them.

Getting full on engineering in this one, Clint. Really enjoyed the process and the team contribution. Juergen Klopp would be proud.

I don't think that I have ever heard Mason say so much and be so animated as he was when you sprayed the anti-seize.

As always, another great day at the office

You guys are the best. Thanks for letting us watch.

I envy you having such fine older dozer. Old tractors never die, they wait for someone to come along and revive them! Excellent content. Looking forward to more.

Lath work, mill work, torch and weld work ! Thought I was watching CEE for a min.Speaking of CEE, Curtis has a new sandblasting system that would go well with all C&C Equipment paint projects

Kevin's special effects are top notch! 🤣

Great video thanks. The quality of the video is not your usual standard and I still have the audio sync problem as the video goes on

Good to see a smile from tucker Kevins outro was a crack up

Another great video Clint love the old school work ,where you make things rather than buy them off the shelf, takes me back to my young days, love watching them here in sunny Queensland Australia

Anti seize in the can sounds like a personal problem.🍻

I live in outback Queensland Australia. Your family relationships are partly why I love your videos. Best regards Mark

I almost forgot. Kevin is starting to pickup how to work on that big "chinery" too. 😅

I have been around airplanes, cars, motorcycles, boats etc all my life. I thought airplanes were a pain to get at things but they are not in the same league as heavy equipment. My hats off to all who know how to work on this equipment.

Thank you FCR for helping Tim out with this project. You guys always go above and beyond expectations and this project is no different. I would love to see you guys collaborate on other projects

Mason you’re going to make an excellent mechanic and you really remind me when I started out training with my father, you have awesome teacher and father figure to mentor you.

Clint's got a touch of sadistic streak in 'em when it comes to that anti seize spray.. 😆

Bonus points for the shorty sledgehammer, mine has twice the handle and has been laughed at numerous times until that someone discovered its usefulness. Watching the boys work and learn is good stuff, they will always be able to earn a living.

Enjoyable watching you guys work, no short cuts on refurbishment, you respect the fact if it needs replacement or retooled so be it ,it will last the test of time ,its great to see these old girls who served well and survived throught brute strength and durability getting the respect and maintenance they deserve.

With a machine like that you can buy and flip acreage and create another income stream. You guys are amazing.

Hua… Hua… Hua… 30:46 it’s always funnier when Kevin is around..!!! 🤣

Clint-ism for the day: can't be stuck if it's liquid. Love it!

You guys are the best love watching you all 🤩👍

Fun video Clinton, Tucker is doing great as always and it's just awesome how Mason is becoming a valuable member of the team.

Great job on the monster doozer, going to be special when done. the young crew are awesome workers.

You're so blessed to be able to turn parts, plas cut parts etc all in your own shop...great video!

That's some mighty fine fabrication on that monster of a dozer..and have to say I have never seen a 2 9/16" wrench before but I can now😂 great team effort and a job well done by all. Looking forward to seeing your next installment on this project and the final of it moving a mountain or two.. Appreciate you sharing your amazing project with us 😎👨‍🔧🇺🇸🛠️🚜😇

The right fix, at the right time and at the appropriate budget. Can't beat that.

Young Mason is on the ball, he see's the need, very good prospects...

Nice video. It brings back memories of doing undercarriage work for a couple years. Be careful hitting those top rollers on the edge like that. It bit me. I had the corner chip off and went into my thigh. I spent four hours in surgery to have it removed from deep within the muscle.

Good job Guys, it is a little easier to split those type of tracks, I remember back in the day finding the Master Pin on both sides of the Track, Spending hours getting the Master Pins knocked out, and reversing the Crawler on to timbers. We then rolled both tracks up , placed them on a Truck to be sent off to have the Pins & Bushes turned. All the best from the U.K.

A lob well done Clinton, Kevin, Hunter, and Tucker. God Bless and Good Health.

Hey Clinton, Always happy to see older equipment get refurbished properly! The old machines are the best machines!! Great video! Thumbs up! Safety first! Get rid of the stinky stuff! Jim

That old dozer should push anything once you have everything refurbished Clint, especially with the new modified grousers! Baby is going to dig now! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Good job Clint and crew, can’t wait to see her pushing some dirt my friend! Thanks for sharing, sending prayers and good vibes to all of yall! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸✌🏻✌🏻🙋🏼🙋🏼going to look good with new paint!

Great team and great family. Thanks very much for sharing.

Great video. She's a nice dozer for sure. Lots of life in her. With parts getting scarce, sometimes you have to think outside the box.

I'd like higher definition video. 720p is pretty low resolution. The content - as always - is exemplary!

Love thoses videos Clint very very interesting , to see thoses young Kids work too .

So many skills all in one group of guys!! Amazing!!

Definitely pay attention, when Clint says "Watch out". C&C's killdozer is really shaping up. Nice machine....

paint it blue like the service truck in the the Peterbilt

Thanks Clint and Kevin, have been watching for quite a long time, and its the highlight of my week when a new video from you and all the team comes out. Even i who is not a hardcore heavy machinery mechanic know several people who have learn so much from you guys , over time.

Good to see you repurpose what you can. Very feasible based on replacement costs. As a customer I would appreciate having that option to save that cost also. Great job.

I pray that you do remember some of us folks that admire your skill sets and just a bunch of head swelling stuff that just ain't right between us guys. Since the video is a hit for sure, I would like to tell you about my dads ways of doing some stuff. We was working with new to us junk, around a nineteen forties model "Cletrac" dozer. It just was a mile ahead of somethings other dozers wouldn't do. Now put in down there in your state and it would be part of some fill in a road. Dad built a cement tank that he would run his dozer through. First it went down to the river and was walked around till almost all of the mud and such was off. He had a old Ford truck, a F8 that had the kind of ramp he could walk that machine up and onto the truck. Back behind our to us get place to work shop was this pit that dad had figured out how to hold used engine oil, diesel, and just anything that made things slick as snot. We had a older homemade triple drum yarder that had its use for skidding trees out of the woods. When he found another bigger and better yarder, that breakdown special yarder came home and set behind the shop an he lowered the dozer into that crap called oil and other fine words. I will say that sometimes a neighbors cat or other animal might fall in and drown. Sad but true, dad just didn't care about anything but his moonshine and fast women. I could depend on a new mom about every month. I never really called any of them "Mom" as that was just a waste of time. Back to this fascinating story, at least in my pea brain.... animal dies and it drew flies.. flies get into the pit and believe me when I say that sometimes the flies would swarm over that dang pit and then die. It justified my dad for his cruelty to all living things. Those old machines that dad would dunk into that menagerie called lubrication made most squeaky tracks or other stuff quiet down a lot and it probably did add some kind of life to stuff. I was mean as snot myself and after dad had torn half my hide off of me .... "Giving me my education"..... well I took his pickup and dunked it into that stuff and then yanked it up in front of where he stayed. Those seats were a perfect material for setting something afire. I burnt it up and I can say that it burnt hot and left a trail of smoke in the air you could see from a distance. It backfired on me as dad was not so good at making payments on something and still have his dollars for some "brand new to me mom" plus all the booze they swilled in. The insurance paid it off and he got some good cash for it going up in flames. So a few days later, he is back into a new to him rig. Can't make this stuff up... kind of how I won my emancipation from him

That dozer is gonna ride super smooth now.

This was interesting, educational, fun to watch. This is by far my favorite channel.

💩💩💩Yup, at 71 I still giggle anytime there is a stanky poop reference. Enjoy your vidjas. John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.

You guys do great work, keep it coming!

To me its just amazing what you can do to metal parts, adding metal and then trimming to fit. Don't think there is a price for all that knowledge and ability. Thanks for posting.

That's quite the machine. It's a big one. A lot of work. It'll be nice when it's done 👍👍🙂🇨🇦

I see that Mason got his annual haircut.

oh!My ,,,Its Tuesday go time! lol ,, Here we go ,Coffees on! Cheers!;-)!!!!!!

Trip down memory lane, loved it

Pleasure to watch, thanks for sharing Clint

Super interesting video guys. Great teamwork! Tucker & Mason are getting to be real handy around the shop! Cheers Ray (UK)

“Lawson Anti-Seize that’s the name Flush your seizures down the drain.” Sung to the tune of the RotoRooter jingle.

Great content Clint and boys! Kevin's ending had a surprise laugh omgeeee 😂

Keep up the great work. Don't worry about being a movie set. It's real. Well done

I really enjoy your videos. Your boys are getting to be excellent mechanics and welders. And for some reason, RU-vid keeps unsubscribing me from you.

family work is the best !!!

I like this video. I like the old stuff that gets fixed up on the cheap. I like making replacement parts and welding and turning parts instead of buying OEM or non OEM new.

Nice work, guys. great to have all the big boy tools . The last one I did we replaced some pins on a 1951 Clevtrac had to have Komatsu mechanic come out with a hyd pin removial tool. Was a job tried to find those track links ,shark tooth whatever they are called but couldn't match them up. Spent 14 weekends driving a 100 miles both ways to get it, had to but the track back on, with all hand tools, on a slope down hill side so we dug the top side bank out a ft deeper than the track and come alonged it into the rut that took two weekend ,rebuild the fuel pump and injectors, hyd lines all new used rollers how sits on a new grave in So Nevada . Love to watch the videos you make It looks easy

Said before but will say again. Those boys are learning great skills that will stay with them forever whatever they end up doing. Love the rehab on the dozer. Looking forward to seeing more and maybe a Kevin special paint job. Thanks for sharing your skill will all of us.

Lawson makes some good products, they make spray on graphite too Clint! Kevin, it rubs the grease on its skin! lol 😂 😂

That’s a hell of a wrench!!!!!

This older model sure stands high and looks much taller without it's blade. It should look really nice when painted guy's.

Love the Td-25. Very durable dozer

Am I the only one seeing this in 720p and blurry? Yeah...I checked the resolution.

What other kids get to go to school and say they worked on a bulldozer??! Raising some fine young men and we need more of those.

Man, you’ve got a lot of cool toys… and definitely skill too. Great job, as usual.
