We finally get to work on the 1997 John Deere 650G direct-drive dozer we pulled out of Eastern Kentucky. It’s been sitting for years, and the previous owner removed the lift cylinders to rebuild them right before he passed away, leaving the parts completely missing. Today, we are installing brand new aftermarket complete cylinders, doing a full fluid and filter change (engine, transmission, and winch), and tackling a broken track adjuster rod that’s completely shot. Once we get the track chained up and the new adjuster seals pressed in, we take the 650G out to push some serious dirt and see if the transmission holds up. 0:00 Missing Dozer Parts & The Plan 1:51 Removing the Old Cylinders 7:40 Installing New Tilt Cylinders 11:37 Firing It Up & Testing the Blade 14:15 Finding the Broken Track Adjuster 24:37 Draining Fluids & Changing Filters 34:03 Rebuilding the Track Adjuster 36:26 650G Dozer Test Drive & Pushing Dirt 38:23 Final Inspection & Future Fixes Emails [email protected] [email protected] Equipment and attachments www.ccsurplus.com Parts www.ccsurplusparts.com #JohnDeere #HeavyEquipment #DozerRepair #equipmentauction

My computer would not let me make a comment on Clint’s helicopter final inspection video. I was a technical counselor for our local EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) chapter. I assisted amateur built aircraft owners prepare for the FAA inspection. I was VERY impressed with how thorough and careful Clint was in constructing his Hummingbird. And I was also impressed with his skill in getting checked out in the machine. Kudos to Clint for this epic achievement.
You had me in tears with your deadpan delivery of "Kevin's probably breathing heavy, and he's not doing anything". 😂
Awesome the 650 lives on The man who owned this was Buster Clevenger. He would be proud to see it live on. Thanks guys.
Nothing like someone that knows how to let a father son moment play out. 😂 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Love you guys sense of humor, that makes work go better and life is to short to go around grumpy @
How is this channel not way bigger than it is? Definitely way under rated.
Looked like uncle Scott was gonna throw Kevin in the wood chipper for using that knife so close to him... 😂😂😂
What’s funny is I was a road mechanic on forklifts for 50 + years , and worked for major companies like Clark Equipment for 20 years and Crown lift truck for 17 years we rebuilt hundreds of cyls , all kinds and I never used that packing tool you show that installs a inside packing, I seen them about a few years before I retired, great tool saves your fingers ! Thank you for all the videos they are amazing, I seen the helicopter flight the other day GREAT ! Nice after watching you build that machine ! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸 I hope Tucker appreciates working with his father and in the family business , someday he will understand the value of his father’s knowledge and patience .
I have a 650G and it's the only piece of equipment that I'd never sell (as long as I can get parts, which sounds like you are taking care of that). Thank you!
If there is one thing that I have learned a lot from watching these C & C videos it is a variety of ways to deal with stuck pins in heavy equipment. Since stuck pins are a major hassle, that is worthwhile. All kinds of things that might cause a typical home-fixer to swear and bust knuckles, these guys take in stride. Clinton also seems to quickly detect problems. When he sees something that does not move right, he right away homes in on the crux of the problem. This sort of thing helps me be more confident in my own equipment fixing.
Man, that was some mellow background voice over tunes Clint. Y'all had it all on this one, Jerry, a bird nest with an egg and a new track lake view. Can't wait for the ball and socket
You can't fire Kevin. He's the star of this channel. Give him a raise.
That Randy sure does a fine job of pressure washing.
The extra bickering and trash talk was appreciated. RIP :( Jerry :( The teen motivation cracks me up. The good old teen "dont care days"
Very cool. Love seeing some nice older equipment come back to life.
your videos keep getting better and better , love how you guys cut up !!
Thank you for your time.
I love Tuckers commitment to the bit! 😂
Looking forward to seeing Kevin work his magic that's a nice machine.
watching you boys brightens my day and put a smile on my face great job boys as always thanks 👍👍👍👍👍👍
