Brings back memories of "Bulldozer" by Stephen Meador which I read as a kid in the 1950's. Loved that story and it left a real impression on me as I still recall the story after 70 years. A young guy recovers a D2 from a lake and uses it to start a contracting business. A real American story of pluck and hard work.

Love seeing and hearing about old equipment like this being rescued, Love how it still rolled on it's own tracks, but being submerged in a swamp little to no oxidation was able to occur I mean the blade was still virtually spotless from what I could see. And how about a big shout out to Jim's wrecker service, that is an awesome piece of equipment.

I found a massive RD8 with a tracked logging winch stuck in the Adirondack mountains. Heard about it for years and finally found it! Parked since the early 60s. It took 5 machines and lots of time to get it out. It received a full restoration and was eventually sold to a collector. History lives!

Man this brings back memories....I was a kid living near there when she sank to the bottom. We found chunks of frozen dirt thrown about a quarter mile by the blast when they tried to free her from the frozen mud. As I recall, Len Grotnes warned them not to do it, but they attempted it anyway. Farmers knew that cattle could be lost that way and I knew of another nearby slough that had reportedly claimed some. There is water water everywhere in that country, and the swamps can be dangerous even in the winter.

My father cut firewood as a second income in the early 1960's. I remember going with him to "help" him when I was about 9 years old. He gave a bottle of Jim Beam to the bulldozer driver to push some of the logs to one side instead of into the burn pile. This thing was BIG and had a brush rake on the blade that had 2 foot long teeth. He gave me a ride... pushing downed trees- branches and all into a huge burning pile. What a thrill for a 9 year old... and I will never forget that it was a TD-24!

@@beckywatt5048 Called a rotator... and they are part towtruck, part crane- often used in accident recoveries and the like... Two channels that often feature theirs are Ron Pratts channel ( kzfaq.info ) and Plaza Towing ( kzfaq.info/love/E1oiL2dYdPv8sOvqge3MiA ). You overestimated the weight by a bit too, a TD24 with blade is about twenty tons ;-)
