I've operated 14's and 24's and they'll go like Jeeps! The 24 had a 12-V in the front and a 6-71 in the rear with a straight pipe. The 14's had 4-71's in both ends. I liked a rough short haul. They'll beat you to death on a long one and YES, the'll run again. Thanks! And I still can't hear!

Thats great! These were British built that why they had the 8-71 front and rear. As of today they are still sitting in the same spot. I talk to the owner regularly and he swears he’s going to get them running again so finger crossed. Thanks for watching.

Best way ever of turning fuel into noise. Scrapers are and will always be most efficient way ever to move material.

Larger than 631 more like 637 equivalent 😂

Very interesting Would have been better without music

@theIronmerchant 5 ай бұрын

The music is there because there is no audio at all when recording slow motion so it’s that or dead silence. To answer your other question no they won’t run without a lot of work to many parts missing.

Fantastic video, well done. Its a great shame to see old iron just wasting away like that. Owner needs to find a shed and stick them in it until he has the will to do something with them.

I ran an s24 loadrunner 36 years ago, and i retired recently but took on a summer job, and i will be running one again this week, lol at 60 years of age i might be a bit slower. They have 3 s24 all converted to 60 series detroit engines rated at 540 hp.

Well I was hauling dirt today, what a machine she was built to haul dirt a distance. We are bringing 1.5 miles of new road to 6 inch below, it doesn't take long moving twice as much dirt as the 621s working there.

That orange paint might mean they were originally owned from new by Wimpeys from the UK who had a large fleet and sold them off in the middle eightys?

Yeah strong possibility. I do know they came from the UK.

I watched these TS-24s , brand new building road in the mountains of alberta. A D 9 was pushing another D9 with one ripper shank in rock, and then they were pushing a new TS-24 through that rock, the bowl on the buggie was just smoking and bulging and screaming, i as the mechanic was just watching in disbelief. A year later those machines were junk, unrepairable and used for parts

@@theIronmerchant As a young mechanic I was fortunate to attend a bulldozer school and tour the Terex factories in Hudson Ohio. They had a 1/4scale Loadrunner scraper on the frame test facility subjecting it to all sorts of forces which was impressive. 1980 I remember.
