My father owned 1 of these. It was the 1st dozer of his long career as a earthmoving contractor. He ended up with d4f and d7f, 2 scrappers, all 4 were cat machines, but the 1st was the 1969 international. I loved seeing 👀 the smoke billowing from the stack. Dad was a qualified diesel mechanic, so he fixed his machinery himself and that's how he made really good money. My God could he work, I never knew anyone else that worked hard like my father. He made a lot of money and then died from melanoma at 54 yrs old. It hardly seemed worth making all that money, then not live long enough to enjoy it
Sorry to hear he died at young age, I hope this brought back good memories. Sad we have to exchange our time working in tough conditions for money. But sounds like he was a good man, his work ethic definitely passed on, so not all about money. Thanks for the comments, love story’s
My grandfather that raised me was the hardest working man I ever knew. He had a full service station and wrecker business. He died from melanoma also. I feel your pain. He was my best friend and my hero. They don't make em like that anymore.
Used to work for International and we kept this exact model dozer running without the blade. We used it for heavy pull jobs around the factory. We also used it for a counterweight for snatch blocks and pulling out scrapers from the coolant pits during shutdowns. We started it once a month on a set PM schedule and let it run for a hour to get up to temp and I would hit the dozen or so grease Zerks. 50 years old and still a useful piece of equipment

WE had to pull a TD 25 out of a pond it was digging. Our friends got it stuck and buried it trying to get un-stuck. It weighs about the same as a D-9, I think. We took a D-8, a 325 excavator, a trailer load of cribbage, and a D-6R. Before it was over, a couple of farmers brought large 4 X 4 John Deeres over to help. Stout tractor!
You sure got heaps of advice here, but you got your tractor going and moved, good job, and then showed it to us all who all wished we had a TD25. Looks like a very useful machine to me.
Diesels need compression to startup. Better batteries equals faster cranking which in turn equals higher compression which is what fires the fuel. Got to have good batteries!
Yeah after a few comments about batteries, come to find out I bought two 6volts instead of twelve. Completely can’t believe I messed that up. Explains why I needed to have charger on while cranking
That's a nice old dozer. Made when they knew how to make a real machine. Now its a ton of wiring.. servos out the wazoo. And electric problems. My father ran the older machines building roads as his career. Thanks to him and others like him we have a road systems we have today. I love to rescue old forgotten machines myself. Have a 1975 international skidder..1962 d6b cat with winch. 1955 galleon 104 road grader. 1953 td14a international dozer. And a 1953 d4 cat with logging package on it. I ended up becoming a carpenter. Lmao. I use my machines on my 20 acres.
I just don't understand why people spray starting fluid before the motor is cranking and slug the motor up. I was always taught to squirt use starting fluid while motor is cranking. Got to build heat with compression and then combustion will occur. I really think that dozer would have started on diesel alone if it had cranked faster. Just my opinion. Awesome to see it run and the steering clutches work.
All it needed was to have the right batteries in it and it would have fired on its own without the ether. A couple of 4D batteries would take care of the starting issues.
When I was a young man, these cable front blade dozes were working on alot of farm n ranch land in Hawaii. The newer hydraulic system dozes were working in the Volcano Lava fields for flower n fruit farms clearing so they could plant n opening up the roadways when volcanic lava would destroy everything in there path. They still do it today clearing farmlands n National parks here. Alot of ware n tare on the tracks, blade n rippers. Hard facing the cutting edges areas is a must. I left home n joined the ARMY N THAN JIONEDTHE MARINE CORPS EVER SINCE N RETIRED BUT HOOKED UP WITH OPERATORS ENGINEERS LOCA#3 AS A HEAVY EQUIPMENT REPAIRMAN N RETIRED N WENT ON N WAS A STRUCTURAL WELDER FOR IRONWORKERS# 625 N FINALLY RETIRED. GOT ALOT OF REPAIR EQUIPMENT N A OLD SERVICE TRUCK TRING TO FIND A TRUE BUYER.
Looked like the turbo had been replaced looked a lot cleaner than the rest of the motor ! An I to find it hard to believe that it started that easy an moved that easy ! Usually the tracks are froze in place after setting that long !
Why in hell am I hooked on these old dozer start up videos??? Never owned a dozer or even sat on one, nor have I ever owned anything diesel powered, yet here I sit glued to the screen like a kid looking in a candy shop window! And can't avoid one when it comes up on the screen! HOWEVER I can say this... Should I ever win the LOTTO there will be a Euclid TC-12 sitting in my yard, now mind you I have NO need for such a thing whatsoever! But on warm days I can go out and sit on it and eat my lunch and maybe drive it the 60 feet to check the mailbox! :-)
U r right Daniel if I'm near electric I use a hair dryer it works great on its own with out either used wrong it can snap a crankshaft !òr a flame does too !
My Dad has a TD25 series B and I thought some of those machines came with a 24 volt starter and it looks like you have those batteries wired in parallell versus in series. Might explain why the engine is turning over so slow. I know Dad's turns over a hell of a lot better of course we did rebuild that engine as well. That DT817 starts as well as a new car now but IH is proud of their stuff. Gasket set for that engine was over 2k back in the late 90's early 21st century when we rebuilt it.
@@Parents_of_Twins yes, but I am telling you what they did out on the strip job. A good old Lincoln Pipeliner you can adjust both the voltage and the amperage. BUT l guess you didn't know that.
there is no surprise here ,these engines like all construction engines are designed to sit till needed, it may take a bit to start them, as long as they cylinders arent full of water- but- the surprise would be, if they didn't run.
They dont. They require considerable prep to do it right. These videos are done just to start the engine, nothing more, nothing less so all you fanboys get a thrill.
International get it right with this machine, TD 24 had issues, TD 30 had issues but the 25s were excellent machines. My Uncle pushed overburden with these TD 25s in West Virginia.
Yes he died this year so when I spoke at his funeral I made mention of all the many memories of all those dozers mainly the td-24 and the td-25s. He had to work on the TD 24 a lot but he did like the machine. The TD 25s he absolutely loved seldom gave issues just regular maintenance.
Yes sir I have heard many similar stories about the TD25 b And c series tractors plus the old original td 25 and most mechanics and owner operator claims that they were pretty tough and reliable where they ran into trouble was trying to stretch that strong TD 25 I to Caterpillar D9 G territory ,not a engineering issue but a as assual an managerial screwup
Started an infinitely sitting dozer back when I was a teenager in the ‘60’s. A whole bunch of hay, sticks and grass… along with a mouse family shot into the air from the muffler.
Nothing but good memories. Worked with my father in the summer during high school. He repaired the dozers. Had a hydraulic press for replacing the pins and bushings in the track. Welding machines at the shop for grouser bars on the street pads and regular dirt pads. Also had a flatbed long welder he and an electrician designed to resurface the track rails. A stationary rotating welder as well to resurface the rolls and idler. Sprocket…we cut off the outter ring and welded on a new one. A year later… gave all this up for an M16 in Nam….
What a great looking machine...Big wide tracks stable looking platform cant see why people leave them to rust.....Should crowd fund respray and refurbishing it with a roll over roof..
Great machine sounds great . Too bad they make Coffee and cans out of plastic. Those old Folders cans were perfect to put upside down on the exhaust hot or cold.and keep the water out. Once the Coffee was gone they had a hundred uses around the home or farm . Keep those old machine going. Tin cans are great for nuts and bolts storage. Show me a old tractor shed that doesn't have some. I will say grandpa passed away and the kids threw everything away. 😁

Roll Royce engine? my Uncle took a Roll Royce Engine out of a TD 25, and put it into an International Dump Truck, that was originally powered by a Petrol engine. alway remember being very proud that i had rides in a Truck powered by a "Roll Royce" engine. Had an amazing "Governor" on it. just the slightest load would on the engine, and the Governor would open up!
Wow, I never heard of an IH with a pony engine. They used a system where the engine first started on gasoline then switched over to diesel when it was warm enough. Caterpillar was the only major US manufactured crawler to use a starting engine
@@HighOctane101 They started on gas, but there was a carburetor on intake manifold, and diesel engine ran on gas until warm enough to switch over. System could be problematic.

It’s not new turbo, here is a slide show of some better pics of the unit Dozer Started After 20 Years With Pictures ruclips.net/video/-yV-KcjzCVU/видео.html
It was only off for a year, there was a bucket on it probably the same time the fuel cap disappeared. I know it’s hard to believe but it is true, we had to get it running to get off property
In response to no way, I've seen instances where the exhaust elbow would have a hole rotted out at the bottom,or since the turbo looked relatively fresh the piston ring type seals could allow rain water to leak out saving major damage.

Amazing the high quality metal used in those track showing how little they rusted up over 20 years wow

At some point in that dozer's lifetime it helped build America I'm glad to still see it running
Yes it was fun

@@HighOctane101 The best way to learn! Bet that mistake will never happen again!
Batteries way to low to be spraying starting fluid in her..
Agree all day long, my mistake of buying 6 volt batteries
Sir . With respect. Who the fock would buy little 6 volt batteries to try to start that machine
That's a nice old dozer. Made when they knew how to make a real machine. Now its a ton of wiring.. servos out the wazoo. And electric problems.

Dosent really matter
@@ralfie8801 it needed 8d. Batteries and no start fluid. ChiefD
Ran a TD-25 for a few weeks back in the '80's in Bluefield, WV. We used it to rip so the other dozers could grade behind.
Cool,probably brought some old hopefully good memories back
Man I love the sound of them just. Awesome power thanks for sharing this video with me and everyone else ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks
Love the sound of that engine when it revs up.
Me too

Thanks
Love watching the big engine startup wish I was there
Absolutely
Loved seeing the old girl come back to life!
It does sound nice, except for the miss
She sounds great 👍 👍
Love to see those old timers get running again. clutches and brakes need a little breaking in, but fun to watch
Thanks
I love the sounds of a turbo in the morning!

Hard to believe it started that easily!, love the sound of that turbo!. That dozer is ready to work!.
Yeah no one else believes it too but it did, I still can’t believe it myself
No it's not ready
yeah, hard to believe...
I at least drained the water from fuel tank onto the ground otherwise it would now have ran long or at all once water hit engine

I already sent the Toyota back to Japan to get rebuilt
Usually a good sign something is going to start when it has a brand new turbo on it.

No way this sat for 25 years with the exhaust open to the elements like that and then just cranked up
It was only off for a year, there was a bucket on it probably the same time the fuel cap disappeared. I know it’s hard to believe but it is true, we had to get it running to get off property
In response to no way, I've seen instances where the exhaust elbow would have a hole rotted out at the bottom,or since the turbo looked relatively fresh the piston ring type seals could allow rain water to leak out saving major damage.
It's called stuff built right which nothing ain't anymore
