Allis Chalmers HD5 Dozer; Sunk in the Ground, Will it Drive Out?

[@ibanezleftyclub]

People go on and on about Cummins, but man those old Detroits were absolutely bulletproof.

[@okgroomer1966]

No diesels compare to the reliability of a Detroit. Not so much the new ones but the old 2 strokes are damn near indestructible.

[@alanmize5627]

you are so right cummins are ok but those old jimmys did everything and well ahd sounded like nothing else

[@socialghost4400]

[@GarethPierce69]

Love this channel! Wish I could be so relaxed about my projects!

[@parlance.electricco]

That empty fuel tank sound as you opened the cover and the dipstick for the fuel brought vivid memories flooding back of my young years operating an old 769 CAT dump truck...

[@WhiteyTheIronMonger]

Dad left it work ready...........even left ear plugs on the levers. I would love to see the American backhoe come alive as well

[@Freedbird]

I have heard a 425 cat run full throttle twice. Once, after the fuel in my dual 150 gallon tamks ran from the fuel pickup, going up a mountain in Virgibia. The guy that brought me some fuel used a gas soaked rag to "reprime" the system. That thing screamed ! Once, insside a shop in Snowshoe, Pa. After replacing an injector, the mechanic held it to the floor. The sound inside thar shop, wow. Open 8" stacks. Great video again !

[@DS-Turbo]

Most interesting will it start videos ever. Can't believe it was that easy

[@jackrichards1863]

Allis Chalmers. Thats a mighty good show from the old dozer. Makes old International and Caterpillar look a bit, second fiddle to the AC.

[@markbehr88]

Love the bulldozer. Hopefully we will see more.

[@noelwarner1235]

That sounded promising , and now it doesn't this video is hilarious. I would love to have an old machine like that that is a way cool toy

[@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE]

Gotta love diesel engines for the fact there's no carburetor to rebuild after it sets a while! 😂 Like you mentioned, almost *turn key* every time. Nice work getting the HD5 running again James. Enjoyed the video. Happy wrenching on your next project. 🔧🔩 Clean looking H1 Hummer too!

[@hotpuppy1]

Maybe no carb , but Detroits are known for stuck racks and injectors from sitting.

[@mikekemsley1531]

Only injection pumps. Much easier, not.

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

Great fun watching! tHanks for the video (Great time of year to be visiting the woods. Keep enjoying!)

[@danbentsen]

Grousers dont look too bad, It runs, moves, Hyd lifts blade, look it over to see how much you want to put in it. My grandad & his 2 brothers logged w/an Allis D6 a little before WW2-during& after- even had a small saw mill- then the Big Timber outfits bought up all the land, made it too hard to access timber to log. So they shut down their logging& started planting christmas trees. Their most money making crop. You make a good Video

[@andrewjoyce7789]

You have the best fun, James

[@hoseclampehhh]

Well done! I wish I didn’t pave my driveway when I see videos like this. I want a dozer bad now. Lol

[@mikehopkins4546]

Another great content video! If ya end up needing to drop those belly pans dig a shallow trench with the excavator and straddle it parallel. Makes it a lot easier to crawl under there with a floor jack and a block of wood. Once you get all the bolts out, you can get out of the way and pop the jack handle.

[@phillipfritz7014]

Neat video. Dozer looks like it's a grate candidate for a rebuild video

[@giggitygiggitygoofg6069]

Your dad's got some great junk. That sort of property that your dad's got would be my idea of A Paradise Island . .

[@landontesar3070]

James, looks like you were having fun. There's a certain Allis B with magneto I need to get running. Diesel that keeps 10 years....what a case for switching from gas.

[@okgroomer1966]

Once I saw it had a Detroit, the suspense of wondering if it would run was gone. Barring a massive hole in the block or other catastrophic damage, they always run. Even if they're stuck just let em soak and they'll run once loose.

[@richardphelan8414]

This is a great Video I love these Allis Chalmers Dozers especially the HD5 ,Frozen steering clutches is a very common problem along with Hydraulic leaks, Where are you with all this cool stuff ?

Chain it to a tree that might help free the clutches or stick the blade in the ground while working the clutches. Put them clutches under a load 😊

I was wondering if the Overflow was diesel fuel that had made its way into the oil

[@vintagetintrader1062]

Lots of old machinery and vehicles to resurrect or part at the property before nature takes them back. Is the step van a diesel?

[@LowBuckGarage]

Unfortunately no, its got a small block Chevy in it. Ran pretty good in the 80's when it was parked there.

[@dancurrier374]

Where is this location? Looks like New England!

[@winterhorse290]

On a Detroit, the engine has to have a blower becaue it is a 2 stroke. Hard to explain, but believe me, IT HAS TO HAVE ONE.

Man fun

That's a '75 Jeep Cherokee. I last drove that one in the '90's, I'll have to see if it will still fire up someday.

Looks like your dad has endless projects to make videos. If you stay there a couple months and make as many videos as you can and release 1 per week. looks like you have at least 20 videos worth of content. That's almost half a year of videos.

Your Dad has an amazing "playground" for us "gearheads".

[@3rdpig]

Your Dad's (or was it your Granddad's?) property is an absolute storehouse of old vehicles. It looks like he just parked anything he wasn't using and instead of getting it running again next time he needed it he'd just find another old beater that ran...then parked it when that job was done. Wash, rinse, repeat. I bet it's a daily treasure hunt!

[@stevedibiase728]

Back in day that was my day bought stuff like that for next to nothing so yes just buy another beater that ran.

[@durrelljohnson4726]

Dang! That little HD5 is so cool! I think I need one of those machines! 😂

[@corydriver7634]

Simply amazing, literally drove it out of its grave. Can’t wait to see the next video.

[@phil-1115]

I have one exactly like this one, but without a canopy, out at the ranch. My wife inherited the ranch and the HD5 has been sitting since the 80's. I haven't had the opportunity to get it going yet, but this video encourages me to do so. Her brother parked it in the barn and it hasn't moved since. Now that the temperature is tolerable here in Texas, I am going to see what it does.

[@corywillbanks6348]

[@MastaT_150]

Those ol’ Detroits are incredible! I have one in a yard truck I turned into a deer stand that may get moved once every ten years and all I ever have to do is throw a battery in it and it screams to life. Emphasis on the “screams” cause that sucker is loud.

[@jjock3239]

I was amazed, that with the tracks sunk so deep, that you were able to move the cat so easily. Love those little Jimmies.

Uuuhuh huh you said Jimmies

[@holdmycoffee4470]

It's a Detroit, loud, dirty, inefficient BUT you can't kill one 😁

[@alkennedy1124]

Ok there is one good way to find water in the oil,a match / lighter,( pul the dip stick,and light the match / or lighter and stick it under the oil on the dip stick , ) answer:if there is water ,it will be evident after the lighter is under the dipstick with the oil on it,,, it will sizzle and sound like bacon being fried ,that will be the water becoming steam, and that is how you find oil mixed into your oil , thanks BigAl California.

I just thought of a John Wick reference for the parts that you have saved to replace things when they break. “I have served. I will be of service”

[@northencape]

Yeah its quite scary when a detroit diesel starts running away after sitting for years and becomes a "screaming demon" quite literaly,saw anoter guy starting a scraper with a detroit motor and the fuel rail/throttle was stuck wide open and he had to phone someone asking how to shut the screaming demon down,yeah "jimmy's" are quite notorious infamous for doing that but you obviously know of their bad habit already!😊

[@bluegrallis]

Now that I have a small track loader working, I find a dozer would make a good accomplice. 😉 Then I'm also sure a small excavator would go good with both, and even better if I had a dump truck. 😎

[@haroldwilkerson2026]

Don't forget the small dragline😂

[@williamhouk6880]

[@jreese8284]

Allis and Detroit Diesel for the win. Daddy sold Allis tractors, and pulled them, too. And he won....of course!

[@duncancremin1708]

Not sure I’d agree about new diesel burning better than stuff from over a decade ago. Remember, back then it was actual diesel fuel, with sulphur additives and none of the bio stuff they put in it today. Modern fuels happily absorb moisture and grow bugs that simply couldn’t survive in proper, old fashioned diesel. You may well find that all the rubber hoses, or maybe even O rings, or diaphragms in the pumps, will be attacked by the modern fuel and will need to be replaced. Of course there are polymers that work with even much higher concentrations of bio, so everything you’re likely to need is either already available off the shelf, or can be made, for a price. Sorry to be a downer, but forewarned is forearmed

[@merlinmonson2133]

Are you sure that is an HD5? I believe the HD7 had the push arms mounted as yours does, on the end of the final drives. Not the best engineering on A/C's part.

[@jgallo600]

Just put some kseal in that radiator. I had the same problem in a old cletrac. Solved the problem. Then flush it later if youre worried. Those old engines dont have all the hidden inline filters to clog and eat your engine like modern stuff.

[@michaelhertwig4528]

Nice HD5, some other nice stuff, as well. I find the general mess and disrepair of the place a bit unnerving. If one cannot keep up, one should sell some stuff.
