It would appear that anyone could have bought any td 24 in the country for the cost of the recovery but I GUESS THEY WANTED THAT ONE, sure a lot of work

Saw the heading and it gave me an excuse to get a picture of the toy I got a few months ago -like the one I had as a kid- and made a blade for.

Not much utility value, a little historic value, the clutch packs and bearings in the entire dozer are toast. Putting it together as a static display OK running 40 times is adjusted value new. Jim

Hey that is a military surplus dozer. Wow. Big toy. Couple of pictures and video of a russian Caterpillar copy dozer pulled out of a swamp. There are several they have found. The engine was still tight and full of oil!

Once you hear that 1089 cid engine under load you forget about the cost or amount of hours needed to restore it and decide that Your Kids and Grandkids would really want you to restore that crawler.
Plenty of videos un U-tube.
Went to the Geneseo, Illinois Antique Tractor and Engine show a couple years ago, guy had a UD-24 portable engine mounted on a running gear, same 1089 cid. All painted up like new, just sad it wasn't a running display with something to put a load on it.
Only other item on display was the next door neighbor's old Minny G-1000 with the 1710 cid Allison V-12 engine in it idling around the show grounds.

Minnie mo is the feature this year, seems like the UD 24 is there every year, belongs to a club member. Chris

I think the man that owned that Minny was Bill Newland? I saw him pull with that tractor several times always put on a good show.

That?s up in Oldtanker?s neighborhood. I wonder if he?s heard any folklore.

The lore around home was of a work mule (rail steam engine) that went down the bank of a fill when the grade settled underneath it overnight when the Great Northern rail was being built next to Ruschmeyer Lake. Lore has it they brought another up and pushed the doomed engine further in and filled over it. I had the chance to ask a couple elders of the area and they confirmed the same story being told them. This would have been I?m the ?90s. 1890s.

saw 2 of these working on a strip mine once. One was buried nose straight down with the winch sticking straight up in the air. The other one winching on the buried dozer's winch. Finally pulled it free. Strip mines in West Virginia were notorious for bottomless pits in the clay under the coal layer. Saw a CAT D8 buried so deep that I thought they had uncovered it! Almost like this video. Legend has it that there are a number of buried dozers on these old mining sites. Owners buried the dozer, then claimed it was stolen to get insurance money.

The request for GoFundMe donations to pay for toys is creative.
