Thanks, Toby! Lot of fine machines there. I remember an old guy I used to haul gravel to that ran a land clearing outfit and used D-7F's mainly because they were quick and didn't have to do a lot to move them. He'd build up a new set of tracks because he said you cleared as much with the tracks as with the blades. He also was a thinker and an ace wrench man. When his tractors had a problem of overheating he ran extra coolant through the ROPS. That cured that problem. He started out with double barrel Corn Poppers at a crusher. If they wouldn't spin a track he'd fix them so they would. Waiting for the next one of you or Pop. Thanks again.
Really enjoy your walk around videos. I'd watch you narrate an entire farm and equipment show. Love old iron! Hope all is well, keep the camera rolling and tools organized! Cheers!
Crawler tractors always fascinated me. On the few occasions I got to drive one, it made my day. Was looking on the net for D9 Cat prices these days and learned that while I wasn't looking, Cat brought out a D10 & D11. Lordy, what a machine that monster is!
Ah Ha the Gas precursor to the HD-7. The Service Manual for my HD-7 shows both the movable and fixed Baker blades. Mine had the fixed with a much taller mold board. That old girl looks like she's in pretty good shape.
This is cool I know where a similar one is abandoned has a home made differential for lifting the blade that now has a tree growing between it and the tractor
Pretty clean machine for its age. Wonder what has been replaced, like the steering clutch brake pads, even a 10 year old machine looks more worn than that. Oh if old iron could talk the stories they could tell.
I think it's worked for a living but it's straight for it's age I'm wondering how much might even be original paint it's hard to tell. If you fix enough machines they do tell you a story in their own way. You get the one careful owner stuff thats well maintained and looked after will tell you exactly that. The stuff that's not seen grease/ services and has had one careful owner when it had a warranty, and 99 idiots that broke and poorly welded stuff after. They tell you enough of their story you can figure the rest out if you want to know after that.
@@super6954 but the steering brake foot pads being in that good of shape is different, either not a lot of time with feet on them so it never really worked, or they been replaced. Either way it is a nice machine.
@@hommie789 I have a 1950 Fordson P6 tractor here, the pedals are original and don't have the wear on the grips just like these. The bushings are worn on the shafts instead and it has other places with wear to. so it's worked but it also looks nice and original as it sat 40 years out in a yard before i got it. Some of the pedals may of been better quality metal than others and they maybe didn't wear as much for the hours .
I just purchased a Allis Chalmers HD 5 loader with 2 blades. 12hrs on rebuilt Detroit and 10hrs on new transmission. The only issue is one of the steering clutches is locked up from sitting for a couple years. I found it in a barn and it's in AMAZINGLY great condition. Got any tips on getting it to release, or just take it apart and put in new?
Them's some big slugs in that tractor! I always thought it would be cool to take a JD D piston and crank assembly and build a 4-cylinder out of it. 6.75" bore X 7" stroke (501 CI 2 cylinder)! Like having coffee cans for pistons. :-)
If you can find them, look up the OLD Napier Deltic locomotive engines. 1K horses out of 4-bangers at 900 r's with a turbo. Whizzing down the tracks sounding like an old D-7 chugging along.
Never seen a blade setup with cylinders like that. I bet those plug wires thru the block were prone to short life and misfires thanks to grounding out.
Jeez. With that kind of bore and stroke, it resembles a Pratt and Whitney aircraft engine. If someone were to mount a propeller off the PTO,do you think it would take off ? No doubt some maniac will try. At the very least,it would give you air conditioning on a hot day. One way to have a blown operator,if not the engine.
Are you a heavy equipment mechanic? Is that your "day job"....what do you do for a living? You know alot about machines....not just the model but how all the components work and how to rebuild them.....share if you would like I'd love to know
@@KPearce57 ok I can see that...that's were the gear head knowledge comes in.....he should have worked at a cat dealership I know there always looking for people....just don't be to good or they will put you in a truck....say goodbye to all your Saturdays

Always appreciate the walk around. Bunch of neat vintage machinery where you are at!

My morning fix of old iron, and the results of the detective work from a knowledgeable walk around! A great start to mt day :)
I've got a video of this machine in action after I finished putting it together this spring.
Great old crawler . Thanks for walk around. Would have liked to hear run. Love them big old gas engines. Thanks for sharing.

That place you are at has a lot of cool equipment
Alright!! Love walk arounds, especially orange ones!
Really enjoy these walk around vidyas.
you always do some neat stuff!

Sweet Allis, they did those grousers right.
Love those allis chalmers 👍👍👍

Good video👍
PURE ART WORK 😈
Thanks again, really enjoy your video.
I have a 1935 M wide gauge Hand crank only Serial# 1156 and let me tell ya you sure feel that piston bore when your trying to crank start it.
I hope you did a video of the little scraper sitting next to this machine!
wow, did not realize there is that many shows a year

Have one of those slugs on my desk at the office. Good conversation piece.

@@lewiemcneely9143 I'll have to check 'em out!
@@ShainAndrews I agree. People definitely look twice!
@@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch I found them just once. The pistons looked like cut off 35 gallon grease barrels.
Bad ass equipment 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Looks like a Baker grade builder. They've cut out quite a bit. Would have angled and tilted left to right.
Seen a cat 10 yesterday am going to try to send you pictures
what was the scraper next to it did you get any thing on it looks like a cool little rig. letournue if i had to guess
ruclips.net/video/ST7pDP8iask/видео.html more to come
I was watching Rick Bork's channel and he want's you to fix his snow mobile
Td 14 dozer was the same trunion placement
Never seen a blade setup with cylinders like that. I bet those plug wires thru the block were prone to short life and misfires thanks to grounding out.
So when are they delivering this one? 😎👍
I like it,..
I just picked up a couple HD5s this week. Any good?
It would be awful if a hose on the blade frame jacks blew while running it!

Lol.... can't speak for the engine, but the operator shouldn't get blown on the job, that should be taken care of on personal time! Safety First !
Hi is there any way that I can communicate with the privately? I am a model builder with questions regarding caterpiller dozers.
How is the clutch on it
That dragline in the background
Wat type is it?
Osgood?
saul dragline fan Yes that looks like an Osgood Model 200
I have an original parts/owner manual for a K crawler
