Okay, Ill stir up the albums and see what I can find. This pic here was on the ol' 18A my grandpa bought it nearly new around '56 then slapped some new paint on it in the 80's its my first known pic behind the controlsIs that a 18A D9D you,ve got. And a 14A D8 in your pic ?
comon don,t be shy, you havnt put up decent pics of those 2 girls yet :drinkup
Thanks Nedly, I just got though with your 35 page adventure yesterday. Great pics! I dont enjoy when its that cold either, just keep warmer times on the mind!I love your pics dude, I'm going to go check Alaska out someday, I've always wanted to go there. We haven't seen -30 here in a few years. Thats fine with me too, I don't like it at all when its that cold!
It is a TD-18, an old Army dozer, it runs good. The D9 and IH run the best somtimes the old D8-14a cable makes an appearance. I have some video of them in working somewhere around here. I'll have to get them up. The cable blades are a lot of fun to operate. Totally different game then hydraulic.. That little scrape would come in handy, had this job this summer where this guy wanted his hill/mountain taller so he could have a building pad on the top of this pinnacle. We ran the loader up and down the hill for a day or so. it eventually got to muddy. A dozer and scraper would have been nice. If I only had a winch on the 450.....Yeah cheers for the pics, quite a collection. D9D is the first of the series with a single air cleaner; later ones had dual aircleaners.
Is that a late IH TD18 with the twin exhaust pipes, or a early TD20 ?? Seems tidy; still run ? And looks like a alliis HD20 hidden in there too.
Little LeT model D scoop goes good behind a D4 or HD5 !
