Just was wondering, my friend has a 1967 AC HD16 bull dozer. Does anyone know how good they area or work? He needs to get batteries and looks like about 50 gallons of fuel for it, so we can fire it up. Its been sitting for a few years now. Any idea how much fuel per hour pushing this thing would use? Were thinking about putting in 2 ponds with it.?? Thanks jayinNY
 
If it is in good physical shape, they are great. If let go and parked for inoperative status, it will be tough to get operational because you do not know what might be wrong.

I'll bet that she will suck up over a 100 gallon a day pushing . And getting a old dozer up and running will take more then and oil change and filters . Like changing out the transmission fluid and filter hyd oil and filters final drive lube . Hopping that the steering clutches are not froze the brakes work . And i for one never liked the A/C dozers . When as a youngster i worked for a large construction co. and we had every piece of equipment that was made as we had Cat's I H 's and A/C, Euclid's and the list goes on and the dozers that were the most problems were anything other then Cat's and yes the Cat's did go down but not as often as the rest . It maybe a diamond in the rough and it maybe a money pit . And when they do break down parts are hard to come by and everything is heavy and expensive.
 
Like any old crawler, condition is everything.
HD16s were made for almost 30 years. The old ACs with Detroits are great machines but the HD16 has the four-stroke (Buda engine,I think). 844 cubic inches is going to use fuel. I have an HD6 with the 344 Buda, an it's not too bad. Great engine, but parts are very expensive. You also have to ask yourself if you can stand using the hand clutch.

If I was going to buy an older AC, I'd rather have one with the Detroit. Parts are much easier to find and cheaper.
