It is time to wake up the old Caterpillar D7 3T cable dozer. It's been a couple years since it was last started. I've got a couple stumps to remove, and a poison ivy covered tree to push out of my way. Sit back, relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of this iconic piece of old iron put in an honest day's work even at 71 years old.

All the red oaks around my place look the same. Rotten in the middle and evertime the wind blows a little they come down. Makes good fire wood. Dont think people understand what the cat was pushing when you moved the whole tree. Them old oaks are heavy. Takes alotta muscle to move one that size.

@davidtipton7234 agreed that tree was every bit of 4 foot diameter at the stump. I was also being cautious to make sure nothing was coming over the blade. All it takes is one stick aimed just right to poke a hole in the radiator. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Mine is 7ft base of the trunk That old D7 got er done no worries

Nice old dozer! At 43:25 if the blade was raised to hit near the top of the stump the force to roll the stump out would have been greatly increased, likely more then doubled.

@oilfarmer706 29 дней назад

@jimthode thanks! I agree. I try to leave it a little low on the stump so I have room to pick up once I get up against it to put more weight on the tracks. One time when I was a kid dad was pushing a stump out and the blade jumped over it and got stuck behind the C frame, blade wouldn't pick up high enough to go back over it. That was a mess I'd rather not re-create lol Thanks for watching!

Why not use the winch more

Nice 3T. I see it has the remains of the factory canopy. I remanufactured the wood portions from cat blueprints for my 1H D8. You are fortunate to have some good patterns from your existing oak. Something to consider if you want a bit of shade. Either way, nice tractor and video.

@oilfarmer706 Месяц назад

Thank you. It used to have a roof with shingles on it. But got ripped off by a low hanging branch. I've toyed with the idea of building a canopy out of steel to help protect me from falling branches. Thank you for watching and commenting.

Diamond plate aluminum and snow coat it white to reflect heat 😊

@pattonph1 12 дней назад

It takes a while to learn how to do that you're making some mistakes but you'll get it worked out

Pony engine should run at another rpm for 5 mins with main engine turning over to warm cylinder head,with compression off, then start main engine. this comes from an old retired operator!

@lenandsallyetta5649 11 дней назад

nope,deisel engine is warmed by running with compression on run,read the cat manual ,any 'old operater' shoud know this ,also sounds like a very sick d-7 with very little lugging power
