Working on a Cat D7E bulldozer with a Hyster D7H winch. Installing a new winch hydraulic pump, hoses, filter. Then using the winch to rip a car in half.
This video is filmed and uploaded 5312 x 2988, 60fps, 100,000kbs bit rate. I am trying to make this my new standard video format.

  • Even at 65 years of age, i'm still fascinated how a small device that pumps a tiny amount of liquid can build enough strength to move such a massive weighted machine. There are literally thousands of pounds of weight involved here but yet that little pump will pull that entire machine on angles and often even up hill with other weight attached sometimes. This generation is also fortunate to have modern machines that are so powerful that they can be operated with a little joystick and a few push buttons and even having such luxuries as Air conditioning and heat and stereo in a enclosed cab. When i started out, everything was still cable operated and motor driven with gear drive units and some push button starters instead of pony motors to start the main motors. From Primitive to almost automated in just a span of 30 years it seems. Amazing.

  • hey andrew, i am a commercial boat owner and a tip i can give you with old hydraulic winchs or any equipment that have been sitting, you can just hook one side up leave the other side of the winch port open, start up the pump hit the proper arm for that direction and collect all the gunk on the other port with a bucket. Usually everything comes off in 2-3 seconds. shut it off and hook it properly. Good video thanks! cheers

  • Really like seeing you getting these old machines working again and their attachments. I just bought a fully restored (every nut and bolt removed) 1966 cat D7 with hyster winch also. The history of it is, it was bought brand new here in australia by a western queensland farmer (where i live) to do one job and that was to clear trees and make a road on his farm and make firebreaks around the perimeter of his property. From what i gather he did that and used it mayne twice in the mid 70s and he got sick and it sat ojtside in the sun on his farm until the owner before me bought it in the early 1990s. He started to restore it when he retired in 2007 and slowly worked on it and other machines in his collection. I had wanted a bigger machine but i can't justify needing any bigger. I bought the machine for what i consider a good price and he knows it will be used. He retored it to a condition that he said isnt overly restored. The engine was torn down and rebult and looks new but nkt brand newparts werent pilished but parts that were meant to be painted were. My first job will be digging a new dam tomorrow as we are meant to get some welcome rain. Happy new year from australia

  • I'm so glad that you know what you're doing when reeling in that cable. It's such an important step, which most people don't realize.... Anytime you are reeling in a winch cable (steel or especially with synthetic rope) you always want to make sure that you have some tension on it so that when it winds it's on there tightly. In the event that you don't do that, you run the risk of cutting the cable with itself due to the tension put onto a loose spool, as well as increased chance of it getting tangled up and wound up which would make it very difficult to undo. It's always good to see someone that knows what they're doing not taking half-assed steps. 👍🙌👏

If that's not a selfish, hedonistic decision I don't know what is. What could be the reason for it, I've never understood that, even though I myself had spurs of the usual postmodern "child-free = care-free" mentality up to my late 20s. I can say for myself, when I became a parent I came to a conclusion that kids are the very purpose of life. It's like a whole new dimension of living, of marriage... everything changes for the better. But it's actually indescribable and I increasingly think of it as a duty. A duty to my ancestors, to my people. Who am I to break this thousands years long line? Now that I'm writing this it occurred to me that this is actually similar to how you would treat your nation. Your home. A duty to make it at least a little bit better for my children than it was when I received it as inheritance from my ancestors. Isn't that the natural way of improving, moving forward, progressing? Where would we be without those who came before us? But I understand that Americans might no longer even feel they still have a nation of their own. That's been beaten out of you over the years.
