FINALLY Reassembling "Alester" & Giving the Dozer a Full SERVICE ~ Cat D3 LGP - Part 8

Video Description

The old Cat dozer FINALLY earned a FULL service with new oils, filters, and quite a few other maintenance items! So today we'll dive into all the service it needs as well as a few other side quests as we prep this old dozer for it's return voyage to the dirt it's been missing for over 25+ years! The old dozer is getting REALLY close to being ready to take to the proving grounds and test on it! ~ This is my 1970's Caterpillar D3 LGP Bulldozer named "Alester"... It has a 6 way blade, wide tracks, and is powered by a Caterpillar 3204 diesel engine. The machine is in fairly good shape considering it's lack of care over the last decade and a half, but it does have some major issues that we're working through one step at a time! ~ 0:00 - Previously on "Alester" the Baby Bull Dozer Project! 2:45 - Making a PLAN 3:35 - Changing the Engine Oil & Filter 10:37 - Changing the Fuel Filter 11:57 - Replacing the WATER in the Engine with Antifreeze 15:50 - Changing the Oil in the Final Drives 18:34 - Fixing the Oil Leak Behind the Dash Board 27:54 - Fixing the Parking Brake Latch on the Lathe 37:18 - Replacing the Bevel Gear Oil & Greasing the ONLY 2 Grease Zerks on the Machine 44:14 - Making New Battery Cables, Fixing the Battery Box, & Mounting the Battery 1:23:00 - Installing a New Seat 1:28:25 - We'd Appreciate Prayers for my Father in Law 1:32:58 - Looking for YOUR Thoughts on a Situation! 1:44:45 - Adjusting the Valves on the Caterpillar 3204 Diesel Engine 1:50:13 - Soldering the Brass Radiator Badge Back onto the Radiator 1:52:07 - Replacing the Air Filters & Fixing the Air Box 1:58:11 - Installing the Rear Body Panels, Exhaust Pipe, & Air Filter Box 2:04:44 - Adding Covers to the Belly Pans & Reinstalling them on the Machine 2:10:31 - Straightening the Bent Hitch 2:16:36 - Thanks for all YOUR Support...
