I had one from mid 80's till this summer. Allis Chalmers 6000 series engine, good starter with decent grunt and good on fuel. Mine had he 8ft straight blade and would push well. The bad side is there is not much (hardly any) available in the aftermarket for the drive train or under carriage. 24V direct start so no pony to mess with. If it is "ran when parked" get Dieseltech or one of the other Bosh experts tell you how to make sure the pump is free before you try cranking it over. The parts catalogs are online through Minpar, and they also have parts as they bought some of the assets of Allis Industrial.

I had 2 HD6G crawler / loaders in years past. 1 was a very strong running and operating machine. The other very weak on power. They are an old hand clutch machine. Somewhat slow and awkward by most standards but a decent farm work horse if not in a hurry. We had a hard time finding fuel pump parts and that was 25 years ago
