The post war construction boom bred a lot of great machines, and the TD24 was one of them, D8 D9 and HD21 TC12 were also. The lessons learned from the pruduction of these dozers led to the advancement and refinement that led us to the equipment used today. Truely a part of history.
This was the earthmoving device of choice for Morisson Knudsen, the major contractor for the construction of the power house at Kemano and power line over Kildala pass to service the Aluminum smelter at Kitimat in the early '50s.
Worked on a pair of these years ago. Petrol start was great idea for it's time and on one, the forward /reverse packed it in. No one seemed to know why it wouldn't drive . i had to pull the guts of the reverser out from underneath in the feild. A set of seals and it was back at work again. These were almost 30 years old then. The other was traded on an equally old D9. I kept away from that one.
Tecnologicamente era el bulldozer mas avanzado en esos años El sistema de arranque por conversion de gasolina a diesel aseguraba una puesta en marcha por frio que hubiera sin necesidad de convencer un insociable pony motor para hacer mover el diesel, Y lo insuperable la direccion planetaria de dos velocidades . Para trasladarme de una lado al otro de la obra le podias hacer los cambios de velocidad andando como si fuera un automovil . Realmente una maravilla
Australian made film. I.S.A.S. = Industrial Sales & Services, mentioned at the end of this video were the affiliate organization of International Harvester Australia that sold IH industrial machinery in Australia.
In my opinion, the two /track, high/low steering was way ahead of any other manufacturer in that time frame that I know of. In a past life, I ran a 14A series D8 clearing timber and that feature would have been vey handy!!! By the same token, the "start on gas, switch over to diesel" thing was way too complicated, causing way too many cracked heads. Cats pony motor system made way more sense to me. JMHO
Head cracking on the smaller TD6's & TD9's was later blamed on Raymond Lowey because of his low streamlined hoods & acompanying low radiators in front of high engines. While the engines warmed up coolant was forced out of the overflow. After a number of heating & cooling cycles there were air spaces in the water jackets in the cylinder head resulting in hot spots & cracking. The later invented coolant recovery tank would have solved this problem.
vean el sitio Dresta La huta wola de Polonia los hace : toda la linea de bulldozer IH Son hermosos y grandes maquinas ,yo trabaje 18años de mi juventud con IH y Payloader Para mi no hay mejores maquinas en el MUNDO y lo dicho aca del TD 24 es absolutamente cierto, tenia su talon de aquiles El embrague Tenia sus problemas ,Lastima si IH lo hubiera hecho de tipo Humedo el TD 24 era irrompible

Ih was ahead of its time with the two speed steering clutches
Great video. Mini history lesson.

17.87 liter engine...that's pretty big.
