I have never seen a TD24 but first summer out of high school I learned to operate a TR18 with a 9 yd. Bucirus Erie scraper building up gravel roads at ends of new bridges on county road. First year of college I ran the same rig on Saturday and Sunday leveling ridges in field for a rice farmer. That was in 1952 and he paid me $1.50 per hour. Thought I was rich, made $30 in two days.
I did my diesel mechanics apprenticeship on the IH line of machines here in Australia in 1955 to 1959, and worked as a field service guy on these machines for a number of years. Loved listening to that old girl, brought back memories
As a 15/16 year old ran one pulling a pan stripping top soil and then later burying tree stumps on eastern Long Island. Been in love of big machines ever since!
The fun part was cranking it. It had a pony gasoline motor that you crank and let warm up, then pushed the clutch that rolled the big diesel motor to crank it. The bid diesel motor coughted and blew out big puffs of black smoke till it cranked. Oh for the good memories this has brought to me.
Así con Pony motor era Caterpillar.. IHC ,El mismo motor diesel al momento de arranque se transformaba en motor de gasolina Arrancaba como cualquier motor a gasolina y luego de unos segundos ,mediante un juego de palancas pasaba a diesel Una maravilla de la ingeniería IHC
We had a TD 6 when I was growing up , that old cat did a lot of work , when Dad died it was still used up till a head gasket leak or something filled the oil pan over the winter & rusted the crank solid . My brother donated it to the museum in our home town , kinda miss that cat ! ( caterpillar)
got to work with one of these old girls the same as yours expect no hyd it was a cablehorse great vid enjoy it much also the ride on these machine is the best thanks
Neat old "Tired & Dirty 24" still gettin er done, Jeff without getting into specific's I know all too well your pain with parts person's and it finally went away with retirement. 👍
It would be nice if there was an explanation about what the operator was doing digging the trench. Irrigation? Also, for those who don't know this International TD24 tractor is old! Notice the way it is started, the cable controlled blade and the standard transmission with operator operating the clutch lever by hand as he moves back and forth. Also, why are we seeing a close up of the back of the tractor and the tracks?
Gee thanks for your insight on how old that td24 is. I'm sure all the viewers on this channel are too dumb to historically place a cable dozer. As for the close up on the back of the tractor, why not. Don't see many vids on your channel. Just enjoy and stop being negative
This is the first dozer I ever ran at 11 yrs old and ended up twisting a giant pine tree in cicles trying to wring off the tap root and it came over top of the blade and cleaned the hood off and dirtyed my knickers !!
When I was young they unloaded a brand new 24 at a forest fire and the salesman running her was putting on a big show and never got 300 feet till he bogged her solid. Everyone would have laughed more but it was needed and the fire burn't fo 30 miles. The fire was out before they got another tractor to get the Td24 out.
Don't remember the # or series but got to use an air cooled Lamborghini crawler back in 72 or 3. Got a D6 stuck with an 18 ft disc, 2 wheel tractors couldn't pull me out but the lambo did. It was a 2 stroke engine if I remember right.
Ditch plow was homemade, good idea, made money. Big Red TD24 is a medium size machine by todays standards, on the smaller medium scale. But it was a pain to run. Gas to Diesel. English idea. Rolls Royce should have been put in from the start. But RR was not a diesel idea.
tdshaker, the gas to diesel concept actually works quite well. It is easier than the starting engine which Caterpillar still used 10 years after IH went away from the gas to diesel starting system. They start better than the starting engines as the starting engines can be quite temperamental to start sometimes. On the IH, the decompression lever does all the switching over. It sounds complicated but the starting system gives very little trouble on them.
International Harvester Co. construction-equipment became Dresser then later merged with Komatsu , know as Komatsu Dresser till 1994, when Komatsu bought out Dresser's share.
She's a good ole girl!! We have a TD-15 Here on the place with a V-PLOW! on it lol just to bust the dam lane open! In winter but hell Jeff we ain't had enuff dam snow around our parts here to build a dam snowman!! The last 8 years
cool... this brings back memories my dad had a TD20 about the same vintage that I learned on but the guy he bought it from took the winch off and converted it to a hydraulic machine.
Hey JPayDirt, Mr. TD24 is pretty darn funny. You ought to do some updated videos with him. I got a feeling that he flies a aeroplane and I'm thinking his flying machine operates a bit like his IH? A video on that might be entertaining?
To Lewie McNeely, what do you mean by confusion? I only asked what state is this in. I was told Idaho. Now that we are on the topic how come it is so difficult for so many guys when showing a YT video just to say where they are. I don't mean street addresses but just say well southern Idaho for example or what have you. The thing to remember about internet is that anyone can watch you from anywhere in the world once you display something on YT or Google etc. I think a lot of guys forget that because their heads are buried too deep in the sand. They should expand their horizons.
tobacco72 I noticed that youtube has eliminated the "About" button, but if you go to my goggle plus page you can read where we are and what we do, I like channels that also tell the viewer some info about them P.S. a lot of my videos contain a goggle map link click on that and you can see from goggle earth where I am and where the jobs were done, hope this helps
Great video. My dad was a catskinner back in the 1940's. He operated a D8 Cat and HD 24 AC doing coal strip mining in Montana. What is the difference between the TD24 in your video and the HD24 that my dad ran? They looked to be similar. Thanks!! LOGOMO.
Yeah, I had to watch the olde Corne Popper again, sitting around waiting for you to go to the bank with all that money you're making so you can make another shoot. Old poppers never die, they just keep on poppin'! BUT I'm ready for you to take that gag off the 9 and let all the soot out!
To jpaydirt, I did as you told me sometime back--I used the Google map link-Google Earth which worked very well for me. With regards to Lewie McNeely I really don't know what he was talking about--that I am confused which I am not. In any case I enjoy watching your videos and I hope you have a good weekend.

Brings back memories of my Navy CB days of the 60's. We had several of these TD-24's deployed with us.

Berry Thomas Yes they have a one of kind sound, kinda like a machine gun
Mate ,that twin gimmy Euclids goter beat for music.love it but
25 s could push
Cat had to turn up the 9
IH had the toughest steering
This fine old piece of equipment is obviously in excellent condition with a very skilled operator at the controls such a pleasure to watch.
My dad used to run and work on TD 24 love the sound of them so much power almost impossible to stop that much power
Great to see this classic IH crawler still running!
Regards from Australia.

We are the antique construction company LOL
When I was 16 a friend of the family taught me how to operate his TD-24, have been in love with them since.
As a 15/16 year old ran one pulling a pan stripping top soil and then later burying tree stumps on eastern Long Island. Been in love of big machines ever since!
That was a great machine !! Built when you could work on them yourself and last for decades!!
Nice old IH with a ditching blade. I haven't seen one in use since 71 when we placed all new drain tiles on the farm.
Great video nice to see that old iron still being used for what it was built for I hate seeing them rusting away
Can a left handed guy run it
My dad ran a 24 for years in the forests of oregon ghen went to a td 25. He built many roads and construction work till his passing in 1967
The td 24 was cable blade but the td 25 was hydrolic .
Love this video the ol' TD 24 hand clutch still going! Right on Awesome!
Those things are beauties. We have an old td9 with a blade on the front. When we get snowed in that thing walks right through it.
I love your older "toys". we have an old Allis hd9 and case 850d for around the farm...pretty fun toys
my pa pa had one exactly like that I learned on. wasnt too thrilled as a kid but seeing one now makes me miss her lol
The fun part was cranking it. It had a pony gasoline motor that you crank and let warm up, then pushed the clutch that rolled the big diesel motor to crank it. The bid diesel motor coughted and blew out big puffs of black smoke till it cranked. Oh for the good memories this has brought to me.
Así con Pony motor era Caterpillar.. IHC ,El mismo motor diesel al momento de arranque se transformaba en motor de gasolina Arrancaba como cualquier motor a gasolina y luego de unos segundos ,mediante un juego de palancas pasaba a diesel Una maravilla de la ingeniería IHC

TD24 is a monster! Just awesome
I remember my dad talking about these beasts back in his Navy Seabee days operating them in the 50's and 60's. Old cable dozers!

Didn't have worry about sensors faulting
Man, it's impressive that this machine is still working, and not in a museum. Edit. Well, it was in 2013. It's 2021 now.
Still going strong in 2022
Essa aí é bem antiga....e ainda funciona.... parabéns
That’s a crazy blade you got there. It freaked me out until I saw you working it. Now I want one.
And cable blade also. This TD has to be +/- 70 years old and still running. Built to last and not built in China.
Neat old "Tired & Dirty 24" still gettin er done, Jeff without getting into specific's I know all too well your pain with parts person's and it finally went away with retirement. 👍
Wow, that thing is so big it has a couch instead of a seat.
It's a family dozer, you know families that doze together stay together
funny,,,,,, she sure does our like a kitten. Good on ya mate.
Courting seat !
Great old classic btw that decompression starting lever and petrol start was so much better than mucking with the pony engines on old Cats.
interman 77 I have deep seeded hatred for pony motors.
The old Gravely walk-behind tractors had that same "precise oil measuring system". Pour it in till it ran out! A-Plus! (me)
This is the coolest dozer video on CZcams.
Flux Compacitor next to the Plasma ..... nice touch!
Those twin stacks sound sweet!
My first experience was with the 16. VERY easy to learn to run. -30 with the wind blowing
Beautiful sounding International, great lookin dozzer.
a man knows how to use one he can master dirt work, the 1st dozer I learned on was an old cable lift and it was a dinosaur

#JeffWins
Jeff, just wanted to congratulate you on getting 1 Million views on this video. Brother's dozer looks great.
I loved the video
Neat old dozer from an era when men were men and the sheep were afraid !!
I don't know what you are talking about Rod, why would the sheep be afraid? ☻
Jpaydirt It had a lot to do with the height of the "Gum-Boots" 🙄
Jpaydirt mutton is better than nothin, try it , it ain't baaaaaaad 🐑!
Rod Parkinson ... that truck is payed for, I won this buckle at the rodeo and, I was just helping that sheep through the fence !
This is the first dozer I ever ran at 11 yrs old and ended up twisting a giant pine tree in cicles trying to wring off the tap root and it came over top of the blade and cleaned the hood off and dirtyed my knickers !!
A funnel would do that job nicely without any spillage 👍
Sounds good!

Hell of a ditch plow.
Learned to grade with an old td20 cable blade. That was one good running dozer.
Nice Machine I never saw too many IH's here in northern Maine
Steven Murphy Probably because you guys talk funny. LOL
I think you are thinking of the people on the coast the Down Easters,the fishermen we call them
Awesome machines, love em.
Nice cable strung Binder!!!!!
Thanks,

Wind, a buzzard Every time!!
Wow a dozer with a love seat
She's a good ole girl!! We have a TD-15 Here on the place with a V-PLOW! on it lol just to bust the dam lane open! In winter but hell Jeff we ain't had enuff dam snow around our parts here to build a dam snowman!! The last 8 years
Beautiful!
“Yes sir” this is my kid of dude
Schönes Video, schöner Maschinensound, danke!
cool... this brings back memories my dad had a TD20 about the same vintage that I learned on but the guy he bought it from took the winch off and converted it to a hydraulic machine.
He is supposed to have a movie coming out, according to the website.
nice dozer sounds great.
DC-9 is my choice.... your tread is so loose its about to fall off. You need to tighten up those tracks. : )
Yeah, take that D9 out there and sink it in the bog. lol
keep up the good work duel's rule and don't have too much fun
Would have been nice to see the change over from petrol to diesel.
I have a video of how that all works, go back about a year ago
Is the TD24 one of the IHC dozers that you could start on gasoline then after it got warm convert it to run on as a diesel?
Awesome machine...
Brilliant! Really enjoyed that,could make good use of that TD24 over here on some jobs would work well along side our Hitachi!!
Hey JPayDirt, Mr. TD24 is pretty darn funny. You ought to do some updated videos with him. I got a feeling that he flies a aeroplane and I'm thinking his flying machine operates a bit like his IH? A video on that might be entertaining?
Máquina maluca!!!! INTERNACIONAL.....V8.....???
I bet it was interesting towing a trailer with that blade stick ing out... collect anything?
En esos años IHC hacia tractores para TRABAJAR no como ahora para pasar trabajo
Super
Awesome machine
This is essentially a seminar in how to do a really crummy video.
Alan Fielding in the Shelley area had one of these at his feet lot for packing silage in the late 70's. Could it be the same machine?
You forgot to top up the screen wash guys
Did nice ditching job the old dozer did
start on gas switch to diesel..UD14 or 16
TD 24 in red lead. And a ditch plow to boot. Don't see that all the time.

jim smith Guess you been wearing your googles☻
A commendable English accent that man. 😁
Stuart Gray Its always fun to talk in another accent
***** Indeed so and you had it absolutely spot on mate. My Colorado accent would fail abismally thpugh it has to be said.
These where way better than a cats!! Cat would always start hard with pony engines!! Run the snot out of ring gear on cats on a cold day!!!!!
Great video. My dad was a catskinner back in the 1940's. He operated a D8 Cat and HD 24 AC doing coal strip mining in Montana. What is the difference between the TD24 in your video and the HD24 that my dad ran? They looked to be similar. Thanks!! LOGOMO.
Yesh Sur!
Leave him alone while pouring the iol. And get a funnel
What kinda power is that unit making?
There rated 180HP and 240 turboed
just lubricating the seat is all. :)
Good video, what state is this in?
tobacco72 Confusion!
Yeah, I had to watch the olde Corne Popper again, sitting around waiting for you to go to the bank with all that money you're making so you can make another shoot. Old poppers never die, they just keep on poppin'! BUT I'm ready for you to take that gag off the 9 and let all the soot out!
Lewie McNeely been so busy counting my money I just haven't had time Lewie LOL I'll get right on it
Wow, now that's an old workhorse. Looks in pretty good condition too. Did you boys swill some beers at the end of the day?
OOH yah.....☻
you guys have to much fun, what ever happened with that wetland job you were looking at a while back?
Can't you guys afford a funnel.
And if you would cover the mike with some foam rubber, you can hear everything that is said . . . clearly.
Harold Reardon Great advice on a 7 year old video. You're a little (okay, a lot) late buddy! lol
TD240 241 1081 cid. palnetary steer syncromesh trasmission a wonderfull machine! Simil CAT D8

Where are you located
Sounds like he needs to check his exhaust bearings..... LOL
No the left-hand muffler bearing is gone
