Good series. There's only a handful of videos with ppl working on a Cat D3 and that's how I found you. I have a '94 / '95 Cat D3C LGP myself and had to rebuild the engine. It was a learning curve and still learning as I'm trouble shooting the transmission currently. Expensive hobby since its for the farm. I ordered parts last week and again this morning. Parts just went up 5-7% since last week. Keep up the great work, I enjoy the videos.

I feel you with the parts ordering, they are not cheap, and when you think you have what you need you realize you need something else!

Love your videos man, love your willingness to just get into the mess and try to fix things. I have worked for a hydraulic shop for 22 years now. I have been a machinist, a mechanical engineer, and now I am a failure analyst. Piston pumps are awesome in the way they work but are a big pain in the butt and expensive when they don't . So I got super nervous when I seen you take the barrel out and the pistons with dirty hands and the environment that you was doing it in. This in no means is a knock at you either, sometimes it is just how things have to be done and I get that. I was happy that you cleaned the hell out of it the best you could, but for future reference, I would add some fresh hydraulic oil on the parts as to prevent a dry start. Piston pumps will cook pretty quick is why I say that. Those Piston Pumps can go to hell pretty quick with just a little contamination. We machine the pistons to fit the barrels, because they run such a tight tolerance. Anyhow, I hope you don't take my comment as a jab at you, as it was not my intentions. My normal customer base is big industrial companies where 14k doesn't mean anything to them. To you and me 14K means a lot and I am just hoping that anything I could share with you was to help. Even if you are aware of the things I said. Keep making awesome videos! Thank you.

Cool, my dad rebuilt automatic transmissions for over 30yrs, very aware of the cleanliness aspect, and I did put a Little oil on it before I reassembled. Certainly not a very good environment for working on pumps, but I kept it as clean as I could. We had a separate room with tables for transmission work to keep the environment free of sand and dirt etc.

Chase just an fyi there is a drain plug on the very bottom of the hydraulic tank that you can take out and capture the fluid in a funnel and drain to a pan. i have the same dozer and i am having similar issues with one track not pulling i cannot seem to figure it out.

This one has certainly been a learning experience. I'll have to look and see about the drain plug sometime, but I hope I'm done with that part.

Just go to the right side of the machine and look up in that hole above the track at the hydraulic tank

I seen it. That's a heck of a spot. I can imagine the mess that makes when you pull that plug LoL. Maybe if you were quick with a funnel with a hose attached to it.

@@LifeWithChase it actually has a spring loaded plug behind the main plug of course a little will drip out when you pull the main one but you can actually screw a pipe nipple up in there with a valve on it to give you some control over the flow just an FYI in case you ever need to change the oil or work on the hydraulics again.

Awesome. Kinda wished mine was a g series just because of the difference in the joystick on the g locks in place, and will counter rotate. The c series is like a skid steer you have to hold the joystick forward. It does have a secondary friction lock. Also the c series don't counter rotate, it just stops one track to turn. Also wouldn't mind it being a d5 lol, but this one was broken and 2 miles from my house so I figured it was meant for me lol.
