Scraper Transmission Is Broken 

Most of us would have called our Cat dealer and they would have sent a service person who would still be looking for where to plug in their diagnostic cable. Jeff you're a fosil with a wealth of knowledge.

I always enjoy seeing the insides of your equipment and learning how they work.

CAT charged me $1000 just to come plug in Diagnostic and read codes on my 2016 320 for DPF clogged 3500 hours $4500 for new DPF and a harness on engine was bad $7000 total.. The Service Tech never went to CAT school either and was a young kid working off his laptop being directed by service manager ! Machine sat two weeks dead .ECM defuels motor. They could not get it running I DID! I found out I could loosen DPF from exhaust manifold and engine would start to move out of fkg hole so I could keep job going. Old CAT were the best. Not anymore like Deere greedy and you can't repair your own machine. I have CAT ET but it won't do what dealer can do.. I went to dealer for a part and they handed me a part labeled "made in China"... I almost threw it through their window! I hear this alot from guys with newer teir 4 machines we have to use on government jobs ... Nice channel. Thanks

The 8 speed whine! that noise is embedded in my head Jeff....when there were 70 + scrapers at the airport job down here it was heaven!!

G'day Jeff, P1 and P2 adjust your speed and direction clutch modulation. Your auto shift points usualy have more influence on the shift harsheness, governor feed pressure should be around 90 to 94 psi this pressure will change both your downshift and upshift points so set it first before setting your upshift points. No one has ever updated that trans, 35 years ago those steel tubes to that small manifold you removed were changed to plastic with an inbuilt screen. 🍻

Ya know Jeff, I obviously I don’t have any money in this game (job).., but I am sitting here watching this video, drinking a cold beer…, and now steam is rolling out of my ears…, after hearing $65 to over night a part.., and then to hear the local parts person pulls/sends “thee” wrong part…, I get it.., people make mistakes.., but man..! Ok, sorry for my rant. I finished my beer, I am now switching over to “whisky”… Thank you for the mid-week video, you have a better day tomorrow…, “Jeff wins”

Matt is like the head Surgical Nurse, handing Dr. Paydirt the proper tools for the exploratory Transmission surgery. Another Great Video.

Would love to work with your crew, Jeff. I operated heavy equipment as a young man and it got into my blood, never able to shake it. I love the smell of diesel fuel and diesel exhaust, not to mention turning wrenches and saving $ fixing it myself. Stay safe out there brother, you and the whole Anderson gang!

…you are a most remarkable Operator, with a great temperament and attitude to your work, machines and challenges - super watching and sharing in your videos on UT! • Thank you kindly…quite a trip along the way. (As a young guy in ZA’s Zululand (way back!) battelling with ‘broken and breaking stuff’ gave me massive exposure to this FOI - so immense respect for what you do, how you go about it and turning half the problems you face into ‘joys of discovery’ merely with a magnificent mind and heart set, patience, serious commitment and very evident passion for your chosen task). Great going Jpaydirt! Thank you kindly, once more… 👊

I understand now Geoff why you like the old Cat gear,built to last and easy to fault find and to repair if need be.Great video as usual,just ending our spring and entering in to summer,if it bloody stops raining lol.

Jay is a damn good mechanic. He can troubleshoot them damn things quick.

Love watching those big cats doing their thing

So now I see how you get your workouts. No health club needed with old iron. Sorry but I can't help but smile every time someone wants to know if I want to join their healthclub or gym .... I do all my own stuff too. 66 years young.

G'day Jeff,, The design of the selector mech in the CAT scraper is pretty impressive , ,dealing with all the torque n power over so many years ,,,, The proof is in the pudding . Jeff wins again...! Respect

I watched the vid you did on driving push pull and found it very interesting, there is a lot going on for sure. Also watching you at the controls of the dozer is good footage. There is always plenty of action at the controls and good to see a good operator making it look easy. Jeff.

Tip. Moving blankets are cheap. Placing one out directly under where you are working can save digging in the dirt for dropped screws.

Good to see the lizards out getting a bit of run. I guess old mate in the parts shop now only humms after being given a tune up.

YOU CAN'T BEAT AN AWESOME 'COLONIAL' !!!

Glad to here Caterpillar parts pullers can’t read up there either. I thought I was the only one that had to make 3 trips to get one order right

Glad you was able to get it fixed fairly easily if it was mine it would have been a complete rebuild before it worked again lol 😂 thanks for sharing

From my understanding the go-pros are designed to have air moving over them to dissipate heat. The case itself is a heatsink. The tabs on the bottom should be metal. Some have had success with using a metal mount to help with heat dissipation. Turning of stabilization and reducing resolution and fps will also help reduce heat created. Results may vary depending on which camera model one has.

I know these are your worst days But breakdowns make the best videos, sorry not sorry, thanks for filming it all

Great video Jeff alway enjoy watching you troubleshoot and fix your equipment. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Jeff.

I love the way that CAT colour code the O rings, it makes life better. ( I did spell colour correctly) !

Zep ultra wipes. By far the best shop towels made. Keep up the good work.

Once upon a time I bet that you didn't need to next day that dagnamit. But oh no lets not keep anything on the shelf, I can't imagine that you are the only fella running 637's in all of that area.

Hello from Moosomin, Saskatchewan, Canada you have great videos thanks for sharing 😊

You can paint white the go pro case,so it doesn't overheat anymore.

Another great video bro, water ya can't live with or without it. Safe travels guys

I love to see you hooking up in three, we were not allowed do that when I worked at a big company because if we hit something hard we would pull the floors right out of the scrapers . Did a job my self in Glenwood Colorado we used a D 10 N and 631 s and we tore up a couple of floors on a 200 ft cut on the side of a mountain with random 4- 6 boulders had a D 9 R pushing rocks around the 800,000 yard job 😂you guys got good potato dirt material you guys can load fast for sure . Keep up the good videos Jeff

I know how it feels when transmission breaks…😅 love your videos

I be damned if i can find that part # 2 5 5 blabla , I can see 255 ohshit but not 2 5 5 BLABLA

Jeez Jeff your like a Catologist for heavy iron. Doctor Jeff

One company I worked for disconnected the trans hold and diff lock pedals never had a problems after

I spy a Wabco at 5:45 in the upper right corner! 🧐

Glad you got her going.

The future was supposed to make things easier,boy,we’re they wrong!

Great job Guys!! Love them Scrapers!!!

I’ve said before and I’ll say it again jay, you gotta get yourself one of those Milwaukee ratchets, mine has hella torque and it just makes taking all those little damn bolts and nuts apart so much easier. And it’ll save your knuckles too! Doh! 😂

Ya hate to see a good O-ring go bad.

Some body did their little toe tap at the wrong time

I just googled "being one with a machine", and in the results, a picture of ol' J Paydirt popped up!

Every time I hear that intro I keep hoping to hear Jeff singing again lol

Never ran a scraper but my neighbor used to and says he loved it.

Those 8 speed are tough diff lock air pressure control is money user

Thanks for sharing Jeff. 👍

I can only imagine the 10s of thousands of dollars you save by fixing this stuff yourselves.

Heya Mr Anderson good to see you again

Diesel engines, rubber tyres, tracks and lotsa work. They're good when they're going but a real batch when they're broken. Good luck for an easy fix.

Ive talked to workshop managers of big open cut coal mines, here in Australia, and they say that all the new gear ( CAT included) is a continuous battle with the electronics breaking down.........

You are a great wrench.

I don't have to tell you, but old is not good, it is great!

Like your video Jeff and son .

Dr Paydirt to the rescue 😉😁😅🤣. Then a big Jeff wins ending.💯💯 You can beat that. 😄😄😃

Oop c. Maybe some of that Lucas high mileage additive? 😂 That sucks man. Hopefully it won't be supremely expensive. Hope the best for ya man. ✌️

"Take ALL the bolts out"?!?! What kind of witchcraft is that, Jeff?

#oldironrules #oldguysrule it’s a shame some of these young operators will never hear the sound of a real Diesel engine. New stuff is all garbage.

Being a plumber comes in handy 🤣 when you get a job on heavy equipment.Pour in some Draino and dry gas hit with a hammer 🔨 and start it up and flush then connect the parts and get back to work man..!

They were older 37s like these

light coat of rtv on one side engine oil on the other side of the gasket then it can be reused

Thirty seconds in and I’ve got my money on Jeff for the win

2:01 looks like the weld is broken on that pivot pin. Glad it was a basic fix!

Jeff wins again!

Some filters and injectors needed

$1 says ya'll wave at the screen every time the intro shows the hard scraper bump wave.

wa it till those push buttons get little dirt then see what happens

Jeff what does a brand new Cat scraper cost equivalent size to you equipment. Great video

I take it you found the dropped part

all of our farmers are buying their own scrapers and think $300/hr is too much money, are you running into any of that jeff

Looks good 👍

What is the intro about? i only see it on a few videos on this channel. I love it.

Hey watch this !

Jeff when you are running three scrapers how many gallons of fuel an hour are you burning what every it is it most hurt

Amazing contents right here! Glad I have found your channel! May I repost all videos under your channel name on another website called Ganjing World? Full credits and sources are inclusive, for sure. Thanks!

Nice!!!!!!

Gat a f model scraper

What’s a new scraper cost ? 😊

Nice background music

I wanna take training course how i can do this do you have any contact number

Jay, they use to make a brand of paper towels called Job Squad! I use to use them when we were building my Jeeps. They were great, l could get a lot of use out of one towel. I never see them any more. Why do you call your scraper a dirty whore? Is it because you have had a lot of problems with it? I’d be very interested to find why you call her that!

Well at least your not on your back working above yourself and your hands go numb big guy much sympathy for your problem Just looking at the bright side big guy Stay safe!
