So many experts here. So many keyboard operators that want to give their uninformed opinion on how this guy is doing it wrong. So many keyboard operators that wouldn’t even be able to start this old cable cat, let alone run it a tenth as good as this guy.
I love how this channel let's the diesels speak for themselves... those of us here for the love of the machine....ARE HERE FOR THAT. The revs, the turbo whistle, the lugging until she almost quits... thats what brings back memories.... not a dumb sound track
My first 'dozer was a 1955 (My birth year!) D8 with a winch operated Birtley blade, I think the blade was filled with concrete for better pry out, donkey engine start. I loved it!
To those wanting " more throttle (RPM's)"--that is a 14A or 15A series with the D342 engine. They were governed to 1100 RPM at high idle, meaning thet operated at 900-1000 RPM or less under load.
@@kimneabel7274 Nobody needs your sarcastic mouth... When a person doesn't know the operating range of the motor... and you've run many different makes of diesel engines that aren't that old or aren't Cat... then you only know most engines respond to more fuel... You could have said that without what you started with...
Nice old dozer. My grandpa bought two cable tools, and we still use one to pull a scraper. Dad wants to convert the scraper to hydraulics so we can pull it with our Deere 8260r, but old iron last forever.
@@dozer1642 I have multiple times, that's why I think he may want to check his high idle rpm because it seems a little low otherwise the torque should carry him through the tougher spots that are causing it to lug more than it should.
