I bought another non running Cat D7F missing parts. Will it start. What the heck did I buy this time 

Mr. C&C, It is truly Amazing to see a Owner, Boss, Etc Dad and gets his hands dirty and a wealth of knowledge. But most importantly you do not scream and yell at your employees or family. You are a good person.

You started to say one of my old quotes,i think,..”there isn’t anything that can’t be fixed with enough time and money “

"Crossthread is better than no thread!" I died. Not something I'd want to hear regarding a diesel engine starter, but I may have taken part in similar shenanigans in the past.

Clint, I just love when you bring this old iron back to life!! Those old Cats are hard to kill!! Thanks for taking time to video it. Keep them coming!!

There must be a market for the older equipment. People dont wanna mess with all that emissions related equipment

Fired quick , good sign. Going to be a great one . I really enjoy watching!👌

this first time i have seen your videos and am impressed with your knowledge of these old machines and different models as well. living in kentucky most all my life and started running equiptment in 1967 on a roller, 1968 a cat 631 scrapper, 1971 on a cat 46A d-8 and many more over the years until i retired in december at age 76, i am one who likes the old equiptment so much over the new junk that we have today. i am now a big fan of your videos and keep up the good work.

Good Job Boss; much enjoyed your video; I'm a retired union HDR/W mechanic: middle 70's now: A D7 series I can't recall seeing one on any of the dirt spreads I worked on over the life time of working: But here's the big but: during my service time in the Army, in Vietnam, there were a number of military Companies with as many as 30 of those cats fixed to what was known as Roman Plow Blades: I ran both blades, the bull blade and the Roman plow blade, Generally what happed, I ran over a land mine, one of two things, the whole cat was destroyed or just the blade, I get an option, I took the bull blade. Although a medium size cat, I found it to be a herkie cat to do some serious dirt work with it; great machine. we used the winch on them often. Although all the design engineered Cat equipment today is been incorporated with high tech computer systems: they do a great job; I much more favor the machines before the computers. I hit the subscribe..... I'm some-what surprised to see there is no over head rail crane in the shop; awesome lay out you have there. I like seeing a yard kept in an orderly manner as yours is. The Lord Bless you and yours.

That elf yelling “ is the parking brake on “ really got me!

So glad I found you all thru Dirt Perfect. We all know it wont be snowing in DPs videos until March. Thanks for taking the extra time to make the videos while you all do what you do.

Clint you never fail to deliver a great video. Always interesting.

If one were to think that machines have a soul this one wants to be alive, is a keeper, a runner, a go-to device. Hope it finds a good home.

I REALLY ENJOY WATCHING YOU MAKE THESE MACHINES THAT WON'T RUN AND YOU MAKE THEM RUN

The struggle is real moving a dead dozer is kinda like hearding cats lol

What a great company to work for, to get to work on all the various equipment. I’m convinced there isn’t anything you guys can’t fix. It’s always enjoyable to watch you and Kevin. Love the channel.

Love these non running videos!

Love the part , when Kevin said good thing Iam here for you I will hold the camera for you! That was golden. LMAO, you 2 work good together. Best regards Steve from ca.

Well at least I know who I have been bidding against down here in Texas. Watched this one sell in September. Was finally able to confirm my suspicions with the number on the blade. Actually really awesome to see you boys take on a project I was thinking about doing myself. I have been learning a lot. Keep it coming, really enjoying it.

Another award winning job!

I remember when we got the D7E when they replace the Allis HD16in the early 70s Thanks for Bringing that back

You can’t beat those old Cats. Enjoy watching your videos. Kevin done taught me a new saying, “Cross thread is better than No thread”. 😂

A man I met in Phoenix, AZ had bought a old military warehouse w3ith contents; sight unseedn inside. He found 6-8 large Army dozer's with spares in it. Then he had to move it all ! 1969 Reno, NV a man bought a Jeep from the Army im southern Calif. He was half way home with it when he called the wife. She said to get back there fast as they wanted the other crated Jeep's gone too. All 11 of them. He traded one to a trucker for hauling the load to Reno for him.

Thank you guys for making relaxing videos of messing around in the shop fixing stuff. I can't express how much I enjoy watching.

Clint, I also really enjoy seeing you and your team getting these older machines cleaned/fixed and ready for constructive use. Sam

Thank goodness the "Chrome Muffler Bearing' wasn't damaged!

Clint, you have clearly one of the best RU-vid channels ever. I can’t tell you how much I have learned and enjoyed watching your videos on these complex machines these bulldozers don’t take this the wrong way, but I think the quality of your videos would even would be improved even further. If you could just prevent Kevin from speaking, he seems to have some kind of issue with barking out things and calling you Bubba nonstop. Don’t take it the wrong way he’s looks to be a good mechanic but he’s just annoying with the bump comments and the yelling and so forth.

What the hell that thing started faster than a new one

Love seeing old iron coming back to life.

Love the CAT D7 F& G models, I would love to have a totally restored very low hr. one just for old time sake, no cab, no GPS, no DEF, just a man’s dozer back when an operator was a real operator not a dozer driver.😎

I prefer the old iron .👍

C&C Equipment +: That engine fired-up and ran exceptionally quickly, did it not! Was in near shock, truth be told, as that was certainly _not_ expected! None of the coughing/chugging out clouds of black smoke that normally accompany start-up of an engine which has been sitting idle for years - literally. Thought all you _good-ol' boys_ were gonna spin in circles from disbelief/consternation! The look on the older fellow's face when he hit the ignition and the engine immediately started was simply priceless! Just goes to show what happens when really good mechanics work on good machinery. Things immediately begin to _work_ as they are supposed to. W/ regard to the video, another of this channel's typically excellent productions - quite entertaining and _highly_ informative. As is virtually always the case, such videos are afforded the standard _YT_ 'thumbs-up' ree-ward. This video assuredly falls well within that category! As usual, well-done guys! Keep 'em coming! 👏👏👏

These videos are so informative. At least with this ex-military kit you know the issues are largely lack of use, storage related and the owner had sufficient funds to repair stuff properly. While I know nothing about plant, I think some of the Deere stuff of this era looks better built and designed than the Cat is. Thanks as ever Clinton, it was good to see Santa helping Kevin on this one.

I like to see you people bring this old iron back to life. I feel that most of this equipment if properly maintained will outlast much of the new stuff and is a lot less complicated. C&C equipment is very thorough with every machine you work with. Clinton, you and Kevin, and the rest of the crew make an awesome team. Keep up the good work.

Can hear the bodyshop workn’ away in the background with there DA’s (dual action sanders) while the 500lb starter is being installed in the dozer lol😄 Everyone is busy👍

I really admire the restoration work performed on these old cats. New filters and fluids are a great place to start to rework 'low hour' units. Oh yeah, the 'R' on the switch stands for 'RUN', I believe.

You guys need a yard wrecker! New build idea- take a 5 ton military, Bob it and put big winch on the back!!!

I seen a coal mine with Fiat-Allis, Komatsu, Deere, and Cat back in the 80s. A few years and all they would buy was Cat. Way better all around. Power hydraulics cab reliability tough. Rebuildable many times over.

I noticed how naturally Clinton operated that primer pump. Lol God bless

Your dad’s was right it fired after only a half a turn or less, that was incredible after setting that long. Your guys sure know your dozer’s in and out. Another good and informative video guys thanks.

Hello from Moosomin,Saskatchewan,Canada you have great videos and great at communicating. Thanks for sharing. 😊😊😊

As a Taxpayer, I’m angry, really angry, how the government abuses misuses and neglects equipment. As a a RU-vid viewer, I’m amazed at 15 yr old iron that starts right up. Great content.

Work fascinates me, I could watch it for hours.

Nice straight old F ,, very popular machine in the 70's

It is impressive how often old, neglected, derelict Cat motors fire straight up with just a bare minimum of caring and sharing.

Love watching you all revive the old iron others have given up on.

It's amazing it sits all that time and then we need a bit of work on it. Put it all back together. It fires right up. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦

Clint, I love seeing your auction buy's payoff .

really like the d7f, seems like a timeless machine, early 70s to late 90s

I'll second that !!! Amazing !!! Fun to watch!

Could not believe it started that easily

You need a big Jib crain to pick these up off flatbed trucks with just drive under with the tractor trailer lift it off drive the truck away set it down then move it might even be cool to drop it in the shop to fix, then drive it out ready.

Bringing these old machines back from contemplating life in some forgotten part of the world is always good, and we know your "will it starts" are no bull. Jeez that motor laying idle since 2008 (I think you said?) sounded so smooth are you sure it's a "Clatterpillar"? lol..... Great to see Dad as your special guest for the start up. You might have to try and get DP Mike to bring Jerry for the next one, and then getting him to put its through its paces would bring back great memories for us when these no-nonsense machines and top operators reigned supreme. Well done again Clint and Kev.

love it. whatever kevin gets paid you need to pay him more! the man was born for television

I have been watching your channel on and off for a while and have become curious about the evolution of your company. The backstory on your knowledge of the bulldozer has to be interesting as well as the intake of so much military equipment that still has so much potential. Why are the pieces being sold off and can anyone get in on this sweet relationship with uncle Sam?

Boy that runs n sounds nice👍 lot of work you put into your videos and most of the good stuff goes on the cutting room floor. Then you have to work on the rig and keep Kevin focused on task to boot. 🤣😂🤣 thanks for your time and patience .... 👍😁 Good job.

BFW takes care of the business!

Man what a sweetheart of a dozer. Can't wait to see this one done!

Hello there Clint your Ford is Always Fond on ROADSIDE Dead 👍😄

Its a good thing you ladies had a strap to hold that starter.

From Putaway to put back in service, amazing as usual! We would expect nothing less from Y'all!

Busting on Speashle Kevin !! L ol !! It will !! You can do it !!

Well Clint rebuilding cylinders you make it look 👀 so easy 🤔right I’ve seen you rebuilding a-lot of them things are you sure they’re a pain in the - - s 👍😎🇺🇸NY

This reminds me that back breaking, rotator cuff tearing and hernia ripping work can be fun. Great video.

Tighten the tracks lol

“Don’t want to be doing any 24 volt welding” That had me rolling, too easy to let all the smoke out of those old harnesses if you’re not on the ball. Great vidya, love your work 😆👍

MAAANNNN. I want to come visit y'all so bad. I miss all this old equipment. Not much I don't know about them. As an operator, you had to know how to fix them. Was never a mechanic around when you break. BTW, the F has the option of reversing the fan blades. Blow out away from you in the summer or turn them around to blow heat on you in the winter. The G didn't have that and the Army didn't have closed cabs like the other branches.

Clint you and sausage fingers need to rebuild a D10 cat it would great fun to watch or is it too big

She sure fires up quick. Thanks.

Hey guys. I knew would discover that that mounting flange was able to be turned.

I love seeing and hearing the old CATS run. Not as fancy as the new electronic machines. But, well outlast all of them.

I kno one thing fs Kevin’s leg was going 100mph in the time lapse n that Santa must be going slow as hell in real time, cause even sped up it was slow 😂 love the channel fellas 👌🤘🤘🤘🤘

Hello again you industrious, knowledgeable and dozer-savvy guys. I enjoy watching your videos tremendously. Here's a question for you all, do you ever buy/get hoodwinked /fooled at any time? If so, how about a video of such a improbable debacle?

That D7 runs like a top!

The military d7. A lot came back from Vietnam. Low hrs. Some pushed off the back of ships Still had the gunners seat next to the operators seat.

LIKE YOUR VIDEOS. RETIRED 78, USAF, JET MAC, VFW.

That one don't need paint Faded green looks good on it. Used and ready. Let's do it look.. like an old Set of fatigues. Says I'm no rookie.

Great documentation demostrating your expertise on CAT

I really enjoy watching someone who knows what they are doing. Craftsmanship.!!

Clint, I like the special edition exhaust cover 👌 😊

Too much fun. I’m jealous!!

Always love the mechanical content. Great video thanks for letting me sit alongside of you and watch and learn!

Love the way you guys work so well together. It’s like you are one mind working? Love these informative videos, makes an old operator wish he was young again. Thank you

That thing lit right off! Can't beat old diesels

Every time is see it, I think dang that’s a nice parking lot

Drain & flushing + filters cleaning or shifting seems as good idea! Basic Service that parts absolute needs! From Peter Eriksson Sweden Europe 😅😊😅! New batterys never wrong either! Fixing the starter to the Pros! In house our out of house inkl fuel injectors,😊😊😊!

Clint, you buy an awful lot of stuff just to keep Kevin off the streets . . . . . . . but at least he's a happy Kevin. So many toys!

I appreciate watching you and your crew, certainly enjoyable

You Guy's are great 😃 and I like the fact that you are fixing those Heavy Equipment and making them Safe and great Working Condition and Dependable for selling To people that is wanting Heavy Equipment to keep upgrading there Self employment job's and I know that lot's of the older Equipment is just as good if not better than brand new Equipment because the older Equipment Has already Proved that it can still be Great Machine's !

Give kevin a good old bonus for this years Xmas please clint as i wouldn't be watching every video you two put out if it wasn't for the banter between kevin an yourself. Have a great Christmas and new year to you and the hole ov your family and your team 👍👍

Oh boy, this ought to be good. Bringing life back to a refuge from the scrapyard makes for a great video. 👍👍

And ! D.P Hooking up with Cottontop3 ! Looks like 🐐 loving too me !!

It's surprising how many of these low hour dozers you get Clint. 👍

Will it Start?? .... that`s like saying does night follow day. 👏👏👏👏
