    What's the value of 1954 HD5 Track Loader

    Thanks DM. It would take me a year to paint mine to look as good as the 6G for $5300. Maybe I'm shooting too high with the $5K. Well it's worth/value is what someone will pay for it..

    What's the value of 1954 HD5 Track Loader

    Really great info from all, just want you guys to know I appreciate it. This forum really helped me last year when I (pretty good shade tree mechanic, but not knowing anything about diesels) got a lot of help with fuel pump/injector issue, and I fixed it. So, this is great source from...

    What's the value of 1954 HD5 Track Loader

    Well as you can see "looks like hell" to me meant rusty. Hydraulics seep/leak a little but not like I have to put in fluid very often. Undercarriage seems good; I did replace a bad roller about 5 years ago. There is no generator/alternator, so battery has to be manually kept charged. I...

    What's the value of 1954 HD5 Track Loader

    Wondering what the approx. value of my 1954 AC HD5 Track Loader is. Was given to me a few years ago by father-in-law who has since passed. I have now cleaned up my property, and don't need it. It starts right up, engine strong, detroit 271, drives good, clutches pretty good, hydraulics all work...

    Detroit Diesel 2-71 Fuel Injectors

    I do still have the question about what size the restrictor should be on the return line. Detroit 2-71. Is 1/4" correct? Seems maybe I'm missing a part that actually "restricts" fuel back to tank.

    Detroit Diesel 2-71 Fuel Injectors

    Another question, what size is the restrictor in the fuel return line on this 2-71? I've got a 1/4" stream of fuel coming out of the head going to tank. Seems like it maybe should be smaller than that to build up pressure. Thanks.

    Detroit Diesel 2-71 Fuel Injectors

    Thanks for the info, I guess that makes sense, I just didn't know the 7 was just a 'bigger' version of a 6.

    Detroit Diesel 2-71 Fuel Injectors

    OK, I've got an about 1954/55 AC HD5 Loader, with DD 2-71. My question is, when researching documentation based on serial number of engine (2A20784) it seems to point to the correct injector as a HV6 fuel injector. But, when I removed one of the injectors it is a HV7. I'm replacing the...
