Tim Buckley, a lot of my uncles worked on that job. My family had property that was taken over by its filling.Stienke Bay that was their Last name. As a kid I flew over it in a piper airplane in the early 1950s . My uncle Alvin gave me a ride. They where N Dakota boys. I loved N Dakota and work on the farm out of Garrison 4mi.out of it. Also helped my uncle Charlie Slickymeyer Turtle lake, he owned the livestock sales yard. I had great experiences on the farms and ranches. Loved It! I was blessed..

Back when Americans took PRIDE in there WORK..I've been operating sense I was 16 years old. I'm 58 now. And when I was a Kid My Dad Drilled it into my head too Take care of the Equipment. And to this Day I Grease my own Machine and Check out Thoroughly every morning while it's warming up. Guys ask me why I do. And I tell them it's because it's how I was Taught. And the machine I'm using is How I make my Money..Why Wouldn't I...I only wish WE would go back to the ways it was done back then .These Guys in this Video were True Hard Working Americans..Great Video. I could watch these Videos all Day .Thanks for sharing it The Guys today don't take Pride in Anything they do in what I've seen in the Past 25 Years ..

I've still got an old HD20 with a Detroit 6-110 engine, we still use it to clear old fence lines out or make right of ways, it's got a KG cutting blade on it!!

I actually got to operate an Allis Chalmers HD16 Dozer. The company also had one of the HD 20s with the fuel filled torque converter. It was an interesting unit. The GMC 6-71 would run at a constant speed, and the tractor would speed up or slow down as the load changed.

I used to work on Allis graders for around 55 years ago in Iceland

Love this old equipment reminds me of going to the job site with my Mother to take lunch to my Dad seems like all my memories of him were on that big Dozier and he would put me up there with him and I thought I was the coolest kid in the world 😊

One excellent video 👍

Got to love old machines.

I spent a week on a HD21 about 50 years ago. It was quite a good dozer in my opinion. I also operated a M100 Allis grader for a couple of weeks which was also a pleasant experience.

This was an awesome vid to watch. Probably since repair and maintenance of equipment is my job. Thanks for sharing

I really enjoyed the video hope you keep them coming

Those dozers were mid size,,, the big one was the hd41 , was bigger than d10 cat,, it had a 1710 ci v12 cummins engine, to be hauled the blade and track rails had to be removed,,,, im 6' 4" and had to have a ladder to get on top of the tracks,,,

I used to operate an HD7. Two stroke Detroit power. Foot padal starter. Coul sure push and pull. I was 17 years old. Working up hill country here in New Zealand. Giant Disc, TAndem Discs and double set of chain Harrows. The old gurl pulled all three hitched on at once. Sometimes ploughed first with a Nuffield 465 two wheel drive Tractor then rolled with a Cambridge roller.😂

Thanks Opa, I very much enjoyed this my own (grandfather inspired my love of big equipment . Btw. My children are half German so I’m called Opa as well. Thanks again.

Peter Kiweit is one of the nation’s largest General Contractors still existing today as many other great large earthmoving contractors who began during the Highway construction boom in the 1950’s and 1960’s are gone.
