Great video! My dad was the chief engineer of the TD-40B and 40C, first at IH and then at Dresser. He retired when Komatsu bought Dresser. Being Polish AND the head engineer, he was sent to Huta Stalowa Wola for two years in the beginning of the 80s to help oversee production of the TD there. I was almost accidentally born there... my mom had to jump on a last-minute flight to get home so that I was born at home in the US! I have some great photos of the TD-40B in pre-production at the proving grounds. Great vid, makes me feel nostalgic!! Thanks!

I am from stalowa wola, worked on the factory for while, at the moment working for caterpillar.

Hi, thats quite a story U have there. The only TD 40 I,ve seen here in Wisconsin, was at the Alma Dairyland Power Plant, stock piling coal. Havent seen it lately, they run Cats also. Our family run company has a TD 15E, also an older TD 20E, both real good Dozers.

[@robertconnor2287]

The TD40 is an International Harvester designed dozer. They only built prototypes before IH sold the Payline Division to Dresser. IH crawlers were very strong and reliable machines.

Those old dresser's sound soooo good. Love the old iron. Thanks for another great vid

[@PAmining]

You're welcome 😁

[@scruffy6151]

This old iron out pushing coal is not some thing you see. Good job for it, it can scream all day and nobody cares. No rocks to fight with, no hard clay, no need for a ripper just pushing coal. Thank you for the video on this old girl and to see her still working is a true treat.

[@PAmining]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

[@chayannecastellano7221]

Music to my ears, glad to see a dresser doing a good job

[@paulr5067]

Huge coal blade on this old girl and a nice roar! A little TLC on the access doors and a powerwash, and she'd be looking good. But I suspect at this age the dozer will just be kept running as long as possible and that's good enough. Love the other old iron in the background too, and of course a "PA Special" Tri-axle truck getting loaded.

[@antonlueker9648]

God I love the sound of those vintage diesels!!!! 👌

[@MrMan5014]

The engine in that old girl has some jam!!..I bet the mechanic shop at this mine can rebuild anything!!!

[@user-vb9jw7dg6k]

Goodlord i love the sound of these old dressers. That's what a dozer should sound like!

[@1957rickster]

Thanks for sharing the Dresser and the Fiat Allis awhile back, there's got to be an old Terex still working out there!

[@alanshelby5980]

We bought a D9L from a coal mine in Wyoming 12 years ago. Old School and it is so nice to work on. It is amazing because there was so little wear on some parts. But the end bits get deformed from the heat.

[@wvboy0311]

What a diesel is supposed to sound like not restricted

[@cbboggs6459]

Great old dozer. Not like the crap they build today. I operated aTD 25 for many years Great machine, would run circles around a D8H.

[@rons4778]

You do NOT need to be a computer nerd to work on this old gear just the love of being a good mechanic the old RED DOT air conditioner on the roof uses three wires to run power ,earth and clutch wire not three hundred like the new machines

In a world dominated by CATs and Komatsu's, it's nice to see something different.

[@gumballer133]

It's too bad you can't find parts very easily for them anymore. Its a good thing Cat has their "Classic" parts. Otherwise the old 9g's and similar vintage would already been cut up for scrap sadly.

[@mytmousemalibu]

Neat seeing old equipment like that still out doing a hard days work. They'll probably run that old girl till it breaks a part that is not available or too expensive. Been a long time since I've seen any Dresser anything around. We used to have quite a bit here.

[@nicholasbrown7068]

We use to have three TD15E dozers all owned since new, very dependable tractors, the last one had sat for almost two years, just didn't have the work for it. Had only 5000 hours on it when sold. That was 4 or 5 years ago

[@westonmoeller7694]

That's an awesome dozer. Nice video

[@patrickbolin6569]

May run good here but I'll say what no one hasnt. A joke to get parts, a joke to fix. Good reason why they are no longer made. Only thing they ever did right was blade design. Operators love their blade pitch but besides that, it's a throw away machine.

[@PAmining]

Thanks, glad you liked it.

[@alco424]

@@patrickbolin6569 They're still made.

[@WowzaGuy]

Patrick Bolin These are STILL made, now by Dressta, largely based on small evolutions to the original designs. The early TD-40 series are considered to be representative of the “good ol days” and was a solid performer with good engineering and value. There’s a reason they still make it so many years later.

[@bobandweave763]

The TD40 video is just great documentary please you may have done one . I may have just missed it .

[@PAmining]

I have not done a documentary on a TD40 yet but it is planned for the future. Thanks!

Love seeing something old out there still working, everything in the back ground got some age too. Also I don't know anything bout coal mining, but most of the material still looks like coal. Whats the reason for being pushed off.

Hello Justin. Watching this ol' gal pushing a full blade, made me think of something....(Not to get political, but), should send this video to Obama's twitter, with the caption "So, how's that war on coal going ???: Anyway, loving the new videos, an still enjoying the old ones. Thanks again.

It's getting a lot better. The industry has definitely more active now than it was during the Obama years

This dozer has got to be one of a kind by now! Parts getting hard to find yet?

Ironic that video featuring Dresser is still dominated by Caterpillars.

[@rickyboyz1006]

If you threw a smoke out the cab window, would the coal catch fire?

[@mlhrepairsllc6942]

No, low dollar cogen bank material.

[@mikexcavator]

I used to have the ‘keys’ to start a coal burning steam locomotive. It takes a lot of heat to release the volatile gases that actually burn. Just the process to light the fire was quite involved, waste paper, lots of kindling wood and diesel fuel to ignite the coal bed.

[@mlhrepairsllc6942]

@@mikexcavator I would think that the locomotive would have used prepared coal to fire the boiler. Which burns a lot better than bank refuse. Coal is definitely tricky to get fired up sometimes 😂.

[@PAmining]

Again as others have said, no, anthracite coal refuse is not combustible

[@garethifan1034]

How old is this TD-40B?

[@angrytrucker3628]

Isn't dresser what allis Chalmers turned into? But it looks similar to a komatsu. Hmm

I believe Dresser is what International Harvester construction became. Allis Chalmers became Fiat. (If my memory is correct)

I was wondering the same - assumed is was a newer version of the Allis HD41 but it looks smaller after watching this

Yup. Then now. Fiat allis spun off to. The new holland and case dozers. Thats who makes them. I have a 180 new Holland same as a 1850 case. Made by fiat allis

Refuse?? Darn, that looks like mostly good coal to me. How wasteful is that? They can't get the rocks, or the processing plant can't get the rocks out of that?

That's refuse from deep mined coal. Cogeneration plants can burn all the slate and high ash coal mixed in, so that's the market for that product
