Allis Chalmers HD5 Dozer; Sunk in the Ground, Will it Drive Out?

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In this video I need to move an old Allis Chalmers HD5 bulldozer that has been sitting so long it sunk into the ground. It works out much better than I expected!

    I have one exactly like this one, but without a canopy, out at the ranch. My wife inherited the ranch and the HD5 has been sitting since the 80's. I haven't had the opportunity to get it going yet, but this video encourages me to do so. Her brother parked it in the barn and it hasn't moved since. Now that the temperature is tolerable here in Texas, I am going to see what it does.

    Your Dad's (or was it your Granddad's?) property is an absolute storehouse of old vehicles. It looks like he just parked anything he wasn't using and instead of getting it running again next time he needed it he'd just find another old beater that ran...then parked it when that job was done. Wash, rinse, repeat. I bet it's a daily treasure hunt!

    I didn't think I would ever see an HD5 A.C again and it brings back a lot of precious memories of my youth and Uncle Bill. My Uncle Bill had two a gas and a deasil. It was my first piece of Heavy Equipment I learned to operate, in the Summer of 69, pulling a breaking plough. That steering clutch brings back a lot of memories as my Uncle was always tampering with something to keep it going. However, I could line the trailer hitch up turning side ways. Lol

The guy that brought me some fuel used a gas soaked rag to "reprime" the system. That thing screamed ! Once, insside a shop in Snowshoe, Pa.

My grandad & his 2 brothers logged w/an Allis D6 a little before WW2-during& after- even had a small saw mill- then the Big Timber outfits bought up all the land, made it too hard to access timber to log. So they shut down their logging& started planting christmas trees. Their most money making crop. You make a good Video

    Those old 2-53 2-71 2-92 Detroit engines were decent engines, they were all mainly used for equipment, industrial purposes and some military equipment as well , one of the main things that was the down fall of those engines was the injection rack inside the valve cover , at least for an engine that sat for a very long time , I've only experienced it twice with a 353 in a barko 130 and a 671 in a 70s ford Ln 9000 .... but the brother engines the 8v71 and 8v92 engines were well sought after for GATR racing exceeding 1000hp and insane amounts of torque! And if nobody knows what GATR racing is , it was a bunch of guys and gals in the late 70s early 80s who built thier own junk Peterbuilts and Kenworths , Marmons , Fords , internationals , Freightliners on circle tracks ...

So what I can afford, I don’t want (restoration project) and what I want (ready to go to work), I can’t afford. Sigh. Your machine appears to be worth putting some money into if you will use it from time to time. You got pretty darn lucky that it started and drove like it did. Put her to work and keep testing that other steering clutch. I’ll bet it breaks loose before too long. Nice video. 🥸👍🔨🔧👀💨💥💨✅
