Big Allis Chalmers dozer grades road

back to the real content of this channel. doing a bit with the Allis Chalmers HD 21. Improving our access road with the 21

[@boe4448]

Hello Rob, That's a awsome dozer. i enjoy watching it work. Boe

[@mountainblokemoments]

Yeah I like the old girl as well. Keen to do a few hours on it but the price of diesel is holding me back.

[@maykozl]

Beautiful piece of Allis chalmers

[@dennispreston5756]

Every timeI see the Alice working, it never ceases to amaze me how you ever retrieved it from that slide into the creek bed.

[@mountainblokemoments]

Yep everytime i walk past that spot I’m reminded of what a shit fight I landed myself in that time.

[@johnmcgreevy742]

Absolutely love that machine, ever since you got her unstuck awhile back! A true battle tank,, er I mean dozer! Nice to watch her work, and I'm sure you love operating her as well. Again thanks for the video, all the best, and may God bless everyone.

[@mountainblokemoments]

Cheers mate, yep I enjoy operating the old girl such a great way to see where you have been that day which is something I have always enjoyed.

[@malcolmyarnold6172]

Good to see you up at your block doing a bit I know when I’m out at my block makes me feel good and love seeing the old allis working cheers mate

[@mountainblokemoments]

Nothing like being out in nature with a huge machine crushing it under track😉😂

[@ericcoffedgp40]

Fantastic footage of this classic piece of AC history, glad to see it is still on the job! Very impressive! We used to run AC HD21s and IH TD25s, last time I remember they were still on the job making the company money in 2021!

[@mountainblokemoments]

Glad you enjoyed it great old tractors

[@rodneygillespie9212]

On ya Rob, you and the Mrs are livin the dream, no matter what happens you had a go. My old man drove a BTD 24 and his mate who worked together drove a HD21. This was back in 60's. All the best mate. PS you have excellent blade control.

[@mountainblokemoments]

Thanks Rodney, the Allis hydraulics are a bit slow but we get the job done.

[@kevinscully571]

Good to see you both out and waking up the Allis, love the sound of the old girl doing what she was made for, and the looks on your face showed that you where having a good time. All the best but remember to also take time out to charge the batteries.

[@mountainblokemoments]

Yep Kell and I went for a walk up the creek early in the morning just to take in the serenity.

[@robrichards6219]

Great video Rob and Kel. I love seeing the Alice getting a good workout. I liked view from the dozer when Kel climbed on board. The Alice brings to mind being a kid in Bundaberg and living around the corner from Alex Walker and watching him loading or unloading his machines.

[@mountainblokemoments]

Are you still around Bundy mate?

[@robrichards6219]

@@mountainblokemoments No Rob, I left Bundy when I was 18 back in 1970. I was born in Bundy as was my Mum. I just have 1 brother there now. I live in Ipswich.

[@Ygottabjokkin]

Nice work Rob .. nothing better than seeing that dozer at work … take care 👌

[@mountainblokemoments]

Cheers mate thanks👍🏼👍🏼

[@lakepinesfarm1394]

Sweet dozer! Way cooler than the new ones. Even comes with its own shed.

[@mountainblokemoments]

We call that shed a scrub canopy it protects the operator from falling debris when pushing trees or pulling scrub with another dozer and a long chain.

[@pauloconnor2980]

My family used to have a farm in Gippsland, near Strzelecki, and we had an ancient Allis-Chalmers dozer with a cable actuated blade!!! Must have been from the '50s.

[@mountainblokemoments]

If you have a look through my videos I’ve done a walk around a couple old cable blade dozers on a property out west.

[@timbow50]

Boy, that other two-track is really washed out bad. Make good drainage for the new road. Now you can haul butt through that valley. You’re moving around more and I hope feeling some better. 👍👍👀

[@mountainblokemoments]

Yep other road has never had any water diversion put into it. So was just a glorified drain anyway, hopefully the bit we did will be an improvement.

[@walterwhitaker1395]

Never get tired of watching the old Alice working for her diesel! It really sounds better the more you run it! Do your boys get to operate her yet? That would be a good skill to pass on to them! I'd even like to see Kell operating it LOL!

[@mountainblokemoments]

Hey Walt, my eldest lad has steered her around a bit, but he hasn’t done much “real” work with the Allis yet. I agree on both the boys getting some experience on the dozer it’s the same old story, finding the time🤷. I reckon Kell would give it a crack but her short legs would come against her😂😂 have to find some pillows to prop her up in the seat. Diesel currently $2.30 a litre. I have one more video of the Allis to put up not sure when I will get another one done at those prices.

[@Grabatire]

Beautiful piece of Allis engineering right there and being operated by someone who knows his machine. In my opinion, Allis Chalmers was the only company that made industrial equipment on par with Caterpillar. International Harvester tried, but in their panic to catch up they abandoned proper research and development. Some of the earlier comments have peeked my curiosity so I'm looking forward to learning how that ole 21 came to be.

[@richardbraybon3245]

good to see that very workable old iron and it handles it well with your ditrection never did any dozer work myself even though i did spend a lot of time in of west australia but you fit right into it and suits you cheers kepp that dozer going

[@mountainblokemoments]

There are days the Allis and I don’t see eye to eye but generally we can still get the job done👍🏼

[@Michael_CS615]

The "Alice" is a BEAST. Always good to see it in the wild! Great camera work by Kell! Intro outro might need work.....🤣

[@mountainblokemoments]

Kell doing the camera work definitely adds to the experience thats for sure. Trying something a bit different with the outro trying to leave people with a smile at the end of the videos👍🏼

Cheers Mark 👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺

[@stew6338]

The Alice is a pushing machine, 30 years to grow and 30 seconds to fall those trees. 👍 Yes I hope that new road gives you better access to your property.

[@mountainblokemoments]

Plenty more trees where they came from😉😂

[@markg9674]

She's a brutal old girl. Hope you, Kel and the family are well Rob.

[@mountainblokemoments]

Brute force is underrated😉😂😂

[@tomnewell5529]

G'day mate another job well done 👍 When I'm doing finishing off I have to back up with the blade as to level out the Ups n downs other wise it's rougher than the tanami track 😕😄

[@mountainblokemoments]

Yep once that dirt gets away from you in a dozer very hard to get it back under control. Pushing bulk dirt helps and not trying to take to much in on go.

[@tomnewell5529]

@@mountainblokemoments yep mate I know what you mean I believe man made will never compare to mother nature but alice sometimes pushes this statement I believe I Need one but kaz is not so Enthusiastic 😦

[@robertw5316]

For a good while now I have been watching videos of shiny new modern dozers, You know the ones ,Cat, Komatsu etc , but... your old bent up dirty dozer runs rings around those contemporary contraptions.

[@mountainblokemoments]

She was a great old girl, I wished I could have kept the dozer and the mountain block but unfortunately wasn’t to be.

Boys gave me those for a Father’s Day present a few years ago, the hula girl is called “Grashenka” (family in joke)

[@blueboatone5653]

A great looking and sounding machine! Do you think the tracks are a little tight? I don't see any slack at all.

[@mountainblokemoments]

Only needs about 25mm deflection from front idler to first top roller

[@chriscorrigan7420]

Up in them thar hills the old girl sings like a bird of paradise but your turning the old girl into a Coburg Caddy with the fluffy dice, the Hula girl on the dash next you'll have the noddy dog on the fuel tank. You can't destroy the old girls vocal chords Ahhhhhhh better than opera. If those trees could talk I'll bet they shit when that bloody great proboscus come borin" down on 'em.

The driver is so far back on this machine, I can’t work out how he can see what the blade's doing.

[@mountainblokemoments]

Drive by feel and what is coming out behind you. Actually you can just see the back bottom edge of the blade from the operator’s position which allows you to adjust a little but a lot of it is by feel. I will try to do a video that shows what I can see 👍🏼👍🏼
