This bulldozer blade off a Caterpillar D8 dozer needs some serious help! We've got a massive repair job to do on this broken bulldozer blade so this video is Part 1. The moldboard on the blade is almost completely torn off, the cheek plates and corner plates are damaged, the hungry board is bent and there is no wear protection. So we'll be replacing all of the damaged plates, fitting a brand new wear skin and also fitting new cutting edges!

  • So Kurtis basically builds a new dozer blade on the bones of a dead one which is amazing to watch. Only after watching do you realise that the way it was filmed and edited meant that you never once considered fast forwarding over a boring bit because there were none. You two are a hell of a talented team. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

He obviously has a very smart and fine wife backing him, as I'm sure she stands rigid in watching his back. I wish God speed to the both of you and I really love your little bulldog "man". I used to have one that would anxiously wait for me to get home with the groceries as he knew he would get a surprise. He would tear into the bag or box the same way and for about 20 minutes you couldn't get it from him. I loved this (and still do) dog of mine for 12 years before I had to let him go to the Rainbow Bridge in Heaven where I've asked my Lord and Savior to let me have him back. He's been gone for 15 years and I still have never gotten over him. Gotta stop as the damn tears are making it difficult to type this. Sorry for my story.

Would be super cool to have a look behind the scenes. 🥰 Again - an amazing video! I just love your content and the real-world work Kurtis, Karen and Homey are doing there. Not some KZhead-only produced content but really something that serve a purpose. What Kurtis is doing there is closer to art than work, never misses out on a step, never takes the easy way but does what is right and as he would do it for himself and not "only" a customer. Amazing dedication and the results are most of the time even better than the original. That paired with the skills and empathy of Karen is nowhere else to be found. 👍👍👍 NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES!

  • Just a tip for using the press-brake to bend some plate. I get a piece of Tig wire (usually 3.2 ss) and bend it to the angle I want. You can fit it in the press brake next to the plate to see the angle you need. Once I feel I'm close enough I check it with the angle gauge to confirm. It helps with the guessing game.

  • This is a big and heavy job in every aspect. Nothing to be taken lightly or indeed carelessly because one slip with any of those repair pmates is going hurt a lot. However, Kurtis nails the challenges and shows us how its done correctly. Top videography too, not a dull moment anywhere!

  • Like so many have suggested, watching Kurtis take on a job like this is somewhat deceiving. The amount of knowledge and skill it takes to accomplish what he does is uncommon. Kurtis is a one man show doing the work of a team. Simply AMAZING. (The filming and editing is awesome as well!!!) Keep up the great work guys!

  • That blade really looked like it's fucked up beyond repair. Like all dozer blade repairs we've seen so far were combined into one. But if there's anyone able to fix this mess, it's you. And it's already looking so much happier after part 1. So i'm confident (as always) that this is gonna turn out perfect

I speak truck and structural fluently but this is new to me and extremely fun because Ive never done repairs and modifications on this big of a scale before. Hopefully in 5 or so yrs my section of the shop will be able to do the same quality and skilled work you put out. Again thank you.
