really sounds great and lugs down pretty good

[@jbj27406]

That thing has the quietest tracks I've ever heard. And the engine runs great. Nice work.

[@bow-tiedengineer4453]

Ya know, this really feels like an adult sandbox. The big boy version of playing in the garden with a Tonka truck.

[@ralfie8801]

I worked at a sand and gravel pit in the 1980’s, it was along the Brazos river in Texas. It was great being out in the country along the river every day, playing with the big boy toys in the real world sand box was a treat. I’ve been workin on the railroad in a locomotive shop for almost 27 years now and it’s been like playing with a big train set most of the time.

[@bow-tiedengineer4453]

@@ralfie8801 That sounds like a wonderful career.

[@josephgotter1115]

The difference between men and boys is the size and cost of their toys!!!!

[@thefixerofbrokenstuff]

Hey, I ain't one of them ASMR weirdos, but an hour video of the sound of that machine working without no talking would lower my blood pressure 15 points and make me sleep like a baby.

[@ram50v8]

At 4:05 hearing the AC-K bear down was music, a perfect example of torque at work!

[@clydeschwartz]

Awesome video that big cubic inch really is a nice match for the rest of the crawler it just pushes and doesn't seem to spin out . Keep up the great videos

[@paulmartin8212]

that's music to my ears! love this old stuff that has been maintained and saved from the crusher. good operator, he knew how low he could go on the rpm's.

[@robertasleson5856]

Smooth running Allis! Operator was real good at the controls. It would have been nice to see these old machines working. In Hastings there is a creamery on the main road! Best ice cream I ever had. From the Minnesotan living in Illinois!

[@geneguenther4325]

Thanks for the video Toby! Always nice seeing people running the old iron. I’ll be driving one of mine to a show here this Friday morning

[@horstszibulski19]

Sounds throathy... 😋👍👍👍

[@markhelseth253]

Awesome torque. You could almost hear the individual pops when lugged down to almost no rpms. Way cool! Watching this reminded me of the guys building the Al-Can highway in WWII with the big ol Cats. Toby - would you be interested in maybe doing a Squatchumentory on the Cats that were used during construction? It'd be great to hear your in-depth knowledge of the equipment used. Thanks for all the great videos.

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

I second that notion!

[@maggs131]

Even if he doesn't I'd bet he'll at east mention the term squatcumentary lol

[@paulwomack5866]

This is a good documentary on the subject, released in 1944 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKGbdqGYgc1jhJY

[@ericcorse]

Most of the time she didn't sound like she was breaking a sweat.

[@danielbowman4819]

Yeah, the governor didn’t sound like it had to open up much.

[@theda850two]

, on the contrary, it was laboring moving on the slight incline, then the blade was lowered , the RPMs really dropped off. 😳

[@rickyjessome4359]

Man that ol girl sounds good! The sound of the big bore and long stoke never get old. The young guy was pretty good at running it as well. Cheers

[@angrybobking5083]

Very cool!

[@jazzerbyte]

Allis Chalmers had some great pieces of equipment back then!

[@texasjetman]

Sure did

[@1crazynordlander]

Thanks for sharing! I always enjoy the five minute focus on one machine videos. I enjoy the 20 minute progress and how to videos also!

[@scrotiemcboogerballs1981]

Awesome definitely sounds good thank you for sharing

[@bombardier3qtrlbpsi]

Equipment that built the country. Great job thanks for sharing 👍

[@dirtbiker23tc]

We need to connect, this is all my family’s equipment and we would love to get to know you! You missed our most unique fordson though! Your channel is great!

[@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch]

That old dog sure had a nice bark to it! We stopped and watched it for a minute. Sure was enjoyable to hear it really LUGG down!

[@Denis-tu1pd]

That old girl sure sounds awesome with her straight stack. Lot of low end torque.

[@charlesward8196]

Another torque monster!

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

Love that sound... The sound of when we were building America, and we had hope and confidence.

[@acewrench]

That sure is a sweet, sweet sound.

[@aserta]

Nice! It's cool when the owners are able and willing to demonstrate these old horses.

[@keithwarkentin]

That was an excellent show the sounds will definitely give me sweet dreams tonight 😀🇨🇦

[@duron700r]

Great governor action, beautiful music.

[@dieselwrench3621]

Awesome 👍

[@regsparkes6507]

Oh my I do like that sound.

[@dave-uf8ir]

Very cool 😊

[@danielbutler578]

I think that running old Emma with a straight pipe is part of the reason why my ears ring all the time now. It was a beautiful sound and watching it blowing a foot of flame in the dark was amazing but I wish I had been using ear protection back then.

[@MrOuttty]

I could listen to her talk all day !

[@dye8287]

Haven’t even watched yet but, being from the west coast and not a farmer, I love seeing these old beauties. Keep the videos coming.

[@dye8287]

And now after watching. Can we get a walk around of that thing?

[@dye8287]

@@squatch253liability the killer of all fun lol 😂

[@bobpaterson1845]

That was the sound of a long stroke torque monster awesome 💪💪👍

[@monkeybarmonkeyman]

Wish all of us the age of this K could work like that 🙂 Good sound on the video!

[@adrianorourke2893]

There is nothing better than listening to those old low revving motors under load, especially when they drop right down in the revs. that old Allis looks to be in excellent condition and well maintained.

[@ericsargent4551]

Great video of old iron in action!! Thx for sharing…

[@misner3485]

Got to love a low RPM torque monster

[@dougkubash8673]

Man does the old girl sound great!! Thanks for sharing Squatch!!

[@MIKA3056]

Mate ...... The note That Thing makes through headphones is incredible .... The Torque is amazing .....

[@antoniolepore6875]

Is this K dozer at the same location as when you did the walk around 4 years ago? Nice running machine !

[@ethankalicin6074]

Got to love boys and the toys. The difference between boy and mens toys are the size and price.

[@brettphillips8650]

The first four minutes were pretty good, but the MONEY sounds start at 4:03! ❤❤❤❤ She’s all Allis, with a snappy governor and torque for days.

[@JandLVideos]

You're really putting out the Allis content lately. Good job!

[@nojelgof]

To my untrained ear, that sounds wonderful.

[@daveanderson2316]

That's a beast!

[@gomezadams9900]

This one has a nice throaty sound to the exhaust, I like that!

[@enginecrzy]

Now thats a good Allis!

[@heartland96a]

It reminds me of the unit in the fighting seabees

[@scottsatterthwaite4073]

Those tracks have some serious grousers.

[@Taxpayeroftherepublic]

How old is the operator? Does not look like he has grey hair! Great job!!!!!

[@manyamile410]

You know you want one.

[@FURST420]

Reminds me of of a RD6 the way she lugs down

[@rgendrud8695]

love that straight pipe

[@allanrichards3752]

That engine sounds really amazing. I bet it gets through some petrol though when its working hard.

[@texasjetman]

Wow that machine really purrrrs right along looks to have low smoke blow by if any. What an true test to American 🇺🇸 machine manufacturing of this generation.

[@larrydavidson3402]

That crawler has a lot of torque. Fun to listen to that thing.

[@RuralTowner]

Now that I think of it...had to replace the exhaust on a 1-cyl Wisconsin someone had mounted to the back of an old JAEGER cement mixer & had 2 options. A straight pipe down which sounded just like this when revved but was deafening...or adapt the air cleaner (filter medium removed) from a VE4 which was a little quieter. Might work better if the oil bowl gets cleaned up thoroughly then put back on. But yeah few things make an engine sound meaner than a straight pipe.

[@SuperMAZ007]

The old Allis still going strong. Love it.

[@Yellow_iron_and_spanners]

That’s nice

[@joehoeksema2686]

That blade looked like a early rops from here

[@robertmccully2792]

If you have never used a pick ,shovel, wheelbarrow you just can't appreciate earth moving machines.

[@lukestrasser]

At least this individual is actually using their Allis K and not just hoarding and neglecting them.

The old gear always runs so much better after a good flogging , see it all the time hear in NZ at the vintage shows after they have been on a belt dyno or like this

[@hansjohansson7477]

What a progress to do work those day back, and the machines were made to last, not as days machine, dont think people watch them, they will be scrapped

[@dwjr5129]

Damn she sounds good!

[@aaroncornforth2638]

Gotta love that old iron chuggin away!

[@catman19]

That Allis is a tork monster

[@peterbishop1933]

Great old machine. I have a question? Please. I used to own a 1969 HD6 EO model. I have never seen any of them on KZbin video's were they sold in the USA or mostly exported . I am from New Zealand there used to be quite a lot around. But they are very scares now i guess because they have been used for part's swapping to keep better ones going. Thanks

[@noelstractors-firewood57]

Great sound. 1000 rpm’s ?

[@jimbritt2874]

Like when the RPMs drop down low 👍👍🇺🇲

[@Angus762]

Torque monster. True vintage diesel power.

[@edcat6587]

It's Gasoline,sorry....I have one.

[@edcat6587]

Anyone know how to lubricate the "track wheels"?(forgot the name for them).the manual seems to show one method,but mine looks different.....has removable outer covers.i fairly recently aquired this from neighbor who used it many years ago,and have got it running well,but wish to lubricate everything.any info,or pointing to where to get info,would be appreciated. Mine looks like it originally had the same type of blade,but now has a homemade put together of some other type of blade,with welding and no overhead bar. Thanks!

[@edcat6587]

@squatch253 thanks! My caps do not have the anemone fittings-o was thinking of possibly drilling and threading them, to put in grease fittings. It looks like,on the inside(under the machine)there is a large hole that the grease comes out of when filling/exchanging .this is all hardened grease.guess I would have to clean that out,I sort of did one just with a metal screwdriver,to see what it looked like. Possibly the rest of the hardened grease make come out with pressure from a grease gun(after using a cap with installed fitting)....or any suggestion on cleaning,etc.would be greatly appreciated. thanks for the great reply with grease tip,and link,etc,!

[@edcat6587]

​@squatch253 where do you get the"00"grease?I found John degree corn head grease,and another black grease,but they are both"0".....thanks again!

[@michaelbaumgardner2530]

That ole gal will chug...barely breaking a sweat.

[@alanharney5278]

That's quite a machine, but it doesn't compare to the RD-6 Torque Monster! Thanks for the video, Squatch.

[@richardphelan8414]

The old Allis lacks nothing for torque That Engine sounds real healthy

[@gjetips]

Hi Squatch. Is that machin running on kero or gas (petrol in NZ)? My uncle had two M crawlers and a farmall M all of which he ran on kerosene. Mobil used to mix him up a brew of 50% lighting kerosene and 50% turpentine whdd Rd after power kerosene was no longer available. I would hate to think what that would cost today. Love your work by the way. G.

[@gjetips]

Sorry about the typos - just had eye surgery 😂

[@gjetips]

@@squatch253 I remember him ploughing with the Allis M and showing me when it was under heavy load that he could turn the magneto off and it would carry on firing like a diesel. It ran much much hotter than our D2

[@evankibbe590]

Why did it sound like the operator was switching gears?

[@deweydodo6691]

Gas not a diesel?

[@gatersb1]

Allis version of a rd6 it seems

[@wilmamcdermott3065]

And you think that rd/6 is a torque monster

I will bet that it has a stroke close to a foot.

Anyone (else 🙂) read this sci-fi story? It's mainly about a D-7, although other earth movers are mentioned. Written in 1944. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killdozer!_(short_story)
