Is the steering hard on that thing? My tl12 has shitty steering no power steering

That rascal moved a mountain in its lifetime

I'm a retired heavy equipment operator operator and I ran a drag line for 9 years. So just take your time once you get your rhythm down and learn to make the rig do what you want it to do you will be fine

The right hand track is on back to front the left side is ok

Did the man you bought the 6 from have a old side boom siting in the yard also.

Being an allis chalmers fanatic like I am, I took a liking to that old girl

Practice makes perfect 👍

Nice machine! 😃 i had a TL30 whit AEC diesel engine for many years! 😊 its in my videos!

Paljon nopeemmin auraisi kun laittaisi lumiauran?

Man theres a bunch of good stuff in that garage!

If you think of the world of Mad Max or any of these post-apocalyptic worlds in the movies the machines you'll see running won't be the most modern newest John Deere's are cats or new Holland's of today e-you but it'll be an old at this time seventy-five-year-old Cat that will be resurrected because it only took a hammer screwdriver and a pair of pliers to get it going that's how planned obsolescence should be!

Remember those old Allis bucket loaders and dozers back in the day.

very nice dozer 1930's D6 2H

Had to watch it again, I will never tire of it.👍

Just picked up a 1958 TL16 at an auction last week (non-runner) Hope to get it going and have as good a machine as you’ve got there!

My dad use to work at Deerfield's Illinois plant he would test them at the old brick yard accross the railroad tracks

I grew up in Oxford Michigan, which at the time was the gravel capital of the world, according to the Britannia Encyclopedia of the time, we lived about 3-4 miles from American Agg by the way the crow flys, in the summer, you could hear the singing Detroit's on top of the dirt piles at our house!! I've never heard of a Osgood machine!

Beautiful machine

you should try to post more. enjoy your collection

Can't wait for the hd15 video

I fondly remember the old rigid-frame wheel loaders from way back then. Operators would sometimes drive them backwards from job to job because they( ex. Hough's) were actually faster in reverse and of course the steering was easier. A machine like yours puts "fun" into snow removal.

Sweet! Great thing to have around. I've run new cats and cases, loaders sure have come a long ways!

Nice video! I’ve got a TL12 about the same vintage in my yard. Contact me if interested 😊

I recently saw a Hough pay loader of similar size on marketplace and priced right. I controlled myself not to call and now I think it’s gone, probably a good thing. The getting in and out is a downfall as I get older. Brakes, always the last thing fixed. I think you’re the man I contacted a year or two ago about a little scraper, if so a short video on that sometime would be appreciated . Thanks

I had the exact same loader years ago except mine had a Detroit in it. You could move just about anything with that old girl. Solid frame made it a little less agile. It was very dependable.

Simple and reliable machine. Several decades ago I spent time on a very similar machine. It was a gas version Case W6 loader with an aftermarket cab.

mister u think u know how to drive a bulldozer I’ve got more experience at those things than u can imagine

I'm an old dog trying to learn new tricks on an old clamshell. I've never ran a crawler crane before so it's all new to me. A lot of hand, foot and eye coordination or muscle memory. One piece of advice the guys told me was , " No matter what. Gravity always works". I still need a lot more "seat time" to become proficient and then when I feel comfortable, I'll move over to the shovels.

Practice makes perfect . Just keep at it.

It's alive! It's alive!😁

Some guys have all the fun.....

On komee 💪👍❤️

Sure would like to see you working on this

Je bakt er nog niet veel van

The guide brand lights are not original, but the left tire is. Air transportable is not the same as droppable with a parachute. And even so, they would have been delivered to two pieces and assembled later. Have you done any work on it?

Looks as hazardous as running a chainsaw in a phone booth

I don’t think I’ve watched this one before. So that’s what it looked like when I learned 45 years ago. I worked for my old neighbor, we were on a pond job. He had me watch for a while. Then he put me in the seat for maybe 15 or 20 minutes. Then he walked any and left me on my own for an hour or so and came back and checked on my progress, he was probably just watching from a distance, l don’t know. I’ve always said that a pond is a good place to learn, when you start it doesn’t matter much how it looks. By the time the pond is finished you are getting the hang of it. I only operated one for 2 or 3 years but it’s like riding a bicycle, you don’t forget but to be proficient you have to stay in practice.

Built during the tapering off of WWII! Just before the capitulation of Japan.

What was the idea of that dozing dirt then putting it back

This is the dozer squatch did the walk around on

Cool old dozer mine is newer d7c 17a

Hieno doser 💪👍🥇🏆

Beautiful sound!

what type of engine do they use jeep? or other

thanks for sharing the great video. I would love to have a setup like this someday.

I am currently having some brain fade trying to recall the name of a LeTourneau employee who was involved in the history of LeTourneau equipment. It was his contention that these machines never actually were designed to be airdropped as there were no aircraft at the time large enough to carry them.

Little Log House Antique Power Show south of Hastings MN the last weekend of July annually. The working display is in honor of Vernal K Davies, who owned much of this equipment and the operation is manned by his grandsons, great grandsons and many friends of the family.

My book isn't available, is that a D-6 or a Diesel 40? Did you throw any ATF in with the diesel?
