  • This is some 8mm film of my fathers equipment and his brother also, starting with his first crawler a TD9 then his TD18, CAT D7 17A pulling a Bucyrus Erie B150 18yd and a TD24 Pulling a B250 27yd cable scrapers, his D7 and Harley Davidson and then his D8H and DW20 then our CAT dealer had a demo of the new D8L versus a D8K and ending with his WABCO 333A paddle scraper I've added some time appropriate music and some genuine TD24 twin stacker machine gun sound to it, we still have the TD24 feature in this video along with some TD18's and the smaller Bucyrus Erie scraper, the big scraper I hauled to Wolf Point Montana with Old Kenny some years ago, and one of my fathers TD 18's is just down the road at the Walters where it still resides today.
    Dad always had a 8mm camera with him and that was our entertainment on weekends was to eat popcorn and watch silent 8mm home movies.

    Love it! Reminds me of the great men I met when I started wrenching, in 1971. Mostly ww2 survivors, tough hard working and honest. They didn't quite know what to think about my generation. But their respect was given to anybody who worked as hard as they did, with humor and without bitching. The few that are left must be pushin 100 years old.
    God bless you, Orville,Charley,Jack,Peanuts,Vern,and Purdey Ugly. And Many more I never met. These men were Oregon Loggers, but their kind was everywhere at the time.

    A lot of things since lost of this video Jefferson.........honesty, work ethics, skills, and reward. I say reward because these men damn well earned what they had and a lot came with being able to own tractors like that in those days, weren't a whole lot of bullshitting your way into lookin good or telling what you could do in those days..........put up or shut up and if you can't put it up there's the door, I ain't got time ner money to waste when there's plenty uh men can do it. I'll also say some art lost in it too because these are the end of the men who built america and the generations that followed were kind of phasing out of the huge mass earth moving projects that formed what this sad nation is turning into.................at 32 years old and being spoiled pretty damn well by the technology of this day, I wish I could've grown up in the time of this footage..............you all probably think I'm looney as a pet coon, but I'm extremely old school and simple at heart.........and mind lmao! Likely not a hard enough person to make it far at that time but I still have to appreciate the simple life without Cell phones, social misunderstanding.....I mean media, FAR less political horseshit, and less Fu-arging people!! But then we wouldn't be able to visit with one another on the RUclipss and get learnt by ol Jefferson and his bes' good ditch dozer Mr. TD24, or our pardner Shaner keepin Jeffey in line........so with that contradictory trickeration scribbled out, what the hell.....ice cream and gold stars for everybody cuz 'everybody' is special an equal 🤣🤣😏😏🥱

Nice editing and could watch that all night.👍 Was always fascinated by the cat logging equipment, out in the (old growth) west of Klamath Lake.

I grew up and cut my teeth on a 1959 case 530 backhoe. Digging drainage and running a john deere 1010 dozer with a bad hand clutch. I was about 8 then. Thank god for equipment evolution, iam no where near as tough at 38 as I was at 8 lol. Have a great evening thanks for video sir 🍻

I learned really quickly what being gentle was on those cable cans after changing a few cables by my self ... and I’m a youngster at a young age of 44 ... I still want to find and restore one of those dw’s

    I love that old footage. When I was a kid back in the late 60’s and early 70’s that old equipment was my play ground. My dad was a heavy equipment mechanic for a road construction crew. If something wasn’t being used it was mine to play on. Climbing old scrapers so I could see what was going on. Blades, Dozers and Draglines what fun. Digging the old grease out of joints. It was like Play Dow to me and my mom getting so mad when I came in covered head to toe in grease. Great footage Sir.

    Long story coming up,maybe better kept short or scrubbed altogether,circa 1966 I was plug-draining (or mole ploughing)an 80 acre field in Bedfordshire with a little TD6.Around 3 A.M. I must have visited the wooden hill.On regaining my wits I realised my predicament-the whole rig had gone through the fence,down a 40' embankment and the mole was stuck fast under the up line of the Midland Railway.No amount of to and fro' would shift it.I got the drawbar pin out and shifted the tractor clear of the tracks,but the plough body was still stuck there in a more than dangerous position.What would you do? I think I am suffering from PTSD.Really love your posts!

    I like the truck at 3:25. It looks like it is a modified chassis from a military CCKW, the real Deuce and a Half. It is a 6x6 with good articulation, but not a lot of speed. I think that these were first produced in 1941 by GMC. There is a Chevy version that is 4x4, but otherwise looks very similar. The Chevy had 6 louvers on the hood, while the GMC had 12.
