My Dad had one of those in the early sixties, but it had engine trouble It had a huge winch mounted on the rear for cable operated equipment : scrapers or ploughs Exact same blade equipment as this one…Nice to hear the engine running on this one‼️ Thank you…🔥👊 🪖 👊🔥 🪖
In 1970, Clinton Howard Mace Sr. threw caution to the wind. Buying 3 salvage IH TD18s and making one that he used to carve Cypress Valley Golf Course out of the Piney woods of East Texas. IH and C.H. Mace, a combination that prevailed. A Great Machine and a GREATER Man. R.I.P., CH Mace, my dad.
Beautiful machines . Luv the sound. My dad used to own a couple of these back in the mid 70s but without the hydraulic attachment. It re kindled some beautiful childhood memories listening to the sound and seeing it work like that. Must be difficult to keep them in working condition.
My great uncle G.R. COUSIN had a exscavating company back in the 50s thru the earley 80s It was the biggest company around the area of ohio we live in! He had some dozers like these. He was a million aire back when a million was a huge amount of money!
Two points to make: 1. Even though that tractor is really old, its sounds like its running good! So does the smaller one(Same year?) 2. Wherever you are in the USA, you guys have some FANTASTIC looking soil there! Its nice and dark, and doesnt seem to be all clayey... All we have around here, wherever you go, is orange-brown clay! There is no soil that looks like that unless its combo-soil that was spread there earlier and allowed to sit and age. Is that whats going on there?
Just what I was thinking. There are hippies somewhere crying about soil erosion because he just dug up this small plot of land. "Destroying Mother Earth" they cry...
Have been researching these crawlers and their history, and its great to see one in action. It sounds amazing. Envy you getting to drive one. I've read they are great to operate. Any interest in posting the gas-to-diesel start-up procedure? Best!
Back in those days, the grade of steel was FORMED by mixing and melting metals. They had good grade steel. Those dozers will run forever so long as you maintain them. Today's dozers are made of recycled steel, the steel isn't made from iron ore and such. Lower quality metals are made now, the quality of the old steel was much better.
jon Will yes l agree totally! But the biggest problem of all is that electronic! A lot of funktionsfähig you never need and a lot of unnecessary technic! The case of many troubles and you cannot help yourself any more . You always need a mechanic with laptop and special software. Sometimes even they have problems to get it.
Must be worth some money, looks like good black soil, gardening dirt. Pasture dirt, good cow crap, high organic matter. Not light soil, old lady really does well.

Kirk and Randy can really make these crawlers work! Thank you for sharing!
Fun. Had to manually tilt the blade but fun. The startup switching over from gas to diesel with a lever had a satisfying "baroom" sound too.
Aww cute he even has a TD6 helping out !!

Those old dozers, have the most beautiful sounds.

I know a logger that had a HD-19 AC and it was powered by an 8-71 jimmy diesel. That was one powerful machine.
Great work . love the old dozers
Love the sound of old diesel.
what a beautiful sound it makes.....
awesome sounding machine
Grand. Thank you for posting.
Like that red checker board hat! Big Red Power!
that old dogg is in pretty good shape for its age i,m cat man but like seeing somebody take care of old iron
@AtariFTW It's a 691 inch diesel that starts on gas. Carb on one side, injection on the other. This one still sounds pretty nice :)

That topsoil looks like it would grow radishes the size of King Kongs nuts.
That's the first thing I said. OMG, look at that soil.

justforever96
Nah, they are crying cause they know how good and rich it is to grow dope in!
Makes me want to get ours running that has been sitting for 15 years or so.
Chad Flint plz do
do it
Loved that ! It seems like when he'd lug out with more resistance with lower rpms it would do the work.
That's an international thing

She aint to fast is she. Awsome machine!
listen to that exhaust!
I wish my TD-18 had the hydraulic blade. Might have to find one.
You would plant 30/06's and by fall you would have a nice crop of 105's.

Let's wear out the steering clutch's while we are loading the blade ... Let do run dozers and smoke alot of cigarettes
The soil is natural and is typical in that part of central Minnesota.
Nice ! Thumbs Up !!
Great!!
Great old machine...…...
WOW see that beautiful black humus soil. Damn wish I had that here not this hard pan clay!!
Yeah that looks beautiful.
lovely fertile soil!
Yes.
Slide rule technology.
awesome machine! what were you digging for?
Yes
Just having fun moving dirt to a pile, so the excavator could load the truck.

j/ai plusieurs tracteur bulldozers international de collection a vendre
Rollin coal
is that the 707 cu-in gas engine?
Is this a International crawl dozer TD18?
Trator estranho parece um 65x
Keeps pulling a steering clutch when he's already spinning. No cat skinner there. To much hay on the fork.
Why the dual stacks?
A td18 has 2 cylinder heads
It's factory
What kind of engine do you have?
691cu of international power
Looks like Red River (North Dakota/Minn) dirt but too hilly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Steven Grotte
Looks like bottom land, Robeson county North Carolina! Great for growing corn,soybeans,cotton and tobacco!
Heh music to my ears.... nice old girl....but that operator leaves a bit to be desired.....I think I can smell those clutches from here....
