Free HD6Allis-Chalmers Dozer finds new home after 25yrs of sitting idle

[@matthewkesler1175]

If the shifter flops and doesnt act like it should it is out place with the shift rails and it will be in 2 gears and bind up. The shifter is usually spring loaded and that can happen when worn and it gets forced somehow.Pull the shift tower off where the shifter goes into the transmission.You should be able to see the shift rails.Line up the gaps in the rails,thats where the shift stick end goes.Reassemble with the stick in the gaps and it should be fine.If in the field the shift stick can be used to realign the rails but a medium sized bar or large screwdriver works better. Good as it runs I'd check that ,then the tracks.It had zero give and that is what happens with a messed up shifter. Definitely worth a look and is an easy fix. That little dozer is definitely worth a second chance,even a third or fourth.

[@Grease1987]

I have the identical machine, your blade probably wouldn’t go up because the linkage isn’t connected. I’m willing to bet the brake bands are stuck to the drums, it wasn’t even trying to move, if it was the tracks holding it back you would at least see the sprockets trying to move…under the seat there is a couple little access covers to get to the brake bands. The transmission gearshift should be over to the left and ahead is reverse, to the left and back toward you should be 1st gear forward. That HD6 still has a lot of life left in it yet by the looks of the undercarriage!!! I would love to have that winch for mine!

Thanks for sharing

You never cease to amaze me Wiley I'd like to see the sawmill running under the power of the dozen, I've done some repurpossing with old equipment, you've got me beat hands down Gods Blessings be with you and your family always

[@DontbeWily]

Me too Probably using the engine and transmission would be the easiest Thank you

[@robertfuller4721]

Your uncle runs a saw mill? Well like they say ain't no step for a stepper. Lol

Q

[@RockinGuy1994]

I miss working with my dad 😢

[@netfun8]

I enjoyed you guys getting the crawler running and moved. I owned an AC HD6 for thirty years for logging and plowing. The carco winch probably is gear driven, and that center button is pulled out for the free spool. With the tracks froze up, be careful not to feed it the onions because it will damage the final drives. Good luck with it.

[@grandicornis]

You could probably use a bottle jack and a length of pipe to force the track upward but you still have to deal with the tracks that have been on the ground all these years.

[@DontbeWily]

First time experiencing anything like that but i have seen some videos where the buyer was saying he hopes the tracks are not froze up Now i understand

[@richardcline1337]

I love Wiley and Jacob's videos even more because I don't have to listen to Hank's sick sense of humor. Wiley is all business and that's the kind of videos I like.

[@brushbros]

No engine wants to start when it is so dirty. I like your patience. You REALLY wanted this thing.

[@markrebman9882]

Great job Wiley and I’m sure your uncle appreciates you and Jacob’s help on his sawmill!

[@DontbeWily]

Thank you

[@susanwatkins3081]

Pull the shift handle out of the transmission and make sure it's not stuck in two gears at the same time. That would bind the transmission and lock it up

[@AcreageHappenings]

That used to happen all the time on the WD-45's after the shifter peg would wear a little bit. Spent many a time removing the circlip, pulling the shift lever out, sticking in a screwdriver and aligning the gears correctly then reinstalling the shift lever. Got so good at it that one could do it in a couple of minutes each time.

[@Camden09]

Great to see that old dozer finally start, that is an old dozer. And thoes track are rusted sold, even hitting them with a hammer. And they still didn't move, only way i see the track coming off is a good oil soak.

[@danbentsen]

My Granddad & his 2 brothers had an Allis Chalmers HD6 cable dozer they logged their century farm with a little before WW2 to a little after the war.

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks for sharing

[@michaelcolgrave4184]

We had the hd11, and that had a V 6:71 GM, certainly didn't need that much power but a pretty reliable old machine

[@dalehartley-vd9qo]

Good video Wily I enjoyed it

[@DontbeWily]

Thank you

[@jaredthisdelle5617]

Wiley don't eat the ether 😅😅😅😅 .great job you guys God bless

[@DontbeWily]

Lol You saw that did you ?

[@Sherlock067]

That engine would be great for the saw mill, should still have enough power to run it. Those AC engines seem to run and run. Great video Wiley and Jacob! Love those AC videos , my favorite brand!

[@DontbeWily]

Thank you for sharing Thanks for watching

[@toddodell2904]

That tow truck driver seems to have great experience on that truck

[@DontbeWily]

Yes and he had a great attitude.

[@JosephRozum]

I am still watching your videos, Sir and I hope you are doing well and having a great day today , Friday the 19th at 6:53 pm my time here in AZ 😊 !

[@DontbeWily]

Thank you It is 6:28AM Friday 26th. 62 degrees

[@Thomas-k4h5s]

Enjoy watching you all get those diesel engines started worked on them for many years enjoy it

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks 👍

[@SteveNicoson-u1i]

Thanks for another great video Wiley and Jacob. Was most interesting. Well you got it running and runs pretty good considering. But the tracks are locked. But you got it moved to his property. From what you say going to use it as a power plant for the saw mill. Good idea. Please keep us informed how it goes with this project. Interesting. About it for now. Wiley you and Jacob did good. Keep us posted please. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks Steve Probably going to use engine. Probably can cut it along with the radiator and make a self contained power unit Thats my thoughts Thanks for watching

[@CharleyBrown-s4w]

Start it up and just keep rocking it back and forth, could be brake bands rusted to the drums

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

That poor winch on the roll back was really grunting!

[@DontbeWily]

It really surprised me

[@JRRott-mj5jq]

You should use a pair of filter plyers they work best.

[@JRRott-mj5jq]

Keep that idle high you guys gotta stop pulling back on it. You want the idle to be up high to get that engine warmed up it will start lot easier as it warms up

[@bigbill709]

Where there's smoke there's fire.

[@kirk467]

Thanks for sharing Wiley!

[@davida.p.9911]

Probably take those tracks off and use them as a small fence around a flower garden.😅😅 Thanks for sharing, Wily!

[@DontbeWily]

Lol would have to put the tracks down and build your Flower bed around it

[@jerryjennings4504]

Great job. Love the sawmill

[@ralphriddle8864]

Another good job and God bless y'all

[@art1muz13]

I hope he gets feeling like fooling with it around spring time

[@art1muz13]

@DontbeWily I think you said that he was your uncle, ask him if you could repair it and what-not, video it. No one has a Corley'. I hope he says yay!DON'T BE WILY!

They also use a PH8A on a 1983 F150 with the 302 V8 engine

[@JRRott-mj5jq]

That oil has water in it Wiley not good brother you need to flush it out really good with diesel fuel or kerosene and put new oil and filter in it again after you flush it

[@darrenkane2208]

Great job

[@elmobklshf]

He put hydraulic oil in the fuel tank and diesel fuel in the hydraulic tank.

[@tennysoncason772]

Nice work.

[@RaymondCoggins-xd2re]

I remember that video awesome job

[@bigbill709]

Its moving whether it wants to or not 😊

[@JRRott-mj5jq]

That’s the gear shifter Wiley that stick that doesn’t feel right that puts transmission in different gears

[@beerbarn21]

Try a high lift jack on them tracks . See if you can lift the top side of the tracks some . Or a tractor bucket get in there and get it moving up and down. Just a thought I know you can only use what you have to work with . Does the winch work when it’s running? Don’t know what you could anchor to but try pulling the dozer while trying to get it in gear! Just brain farts best of luck !!

[@DontbeWily]

I could not get it to engage. I am thinking it had to have some hydraulic pressure to run. I couldn’t get the blade to move. Hydraulics probably have lost its prime

[@beerbarn21]

@@DontbeWily yup probably lost its prime for sure . How far and how much do you put into it is always the deciding point . Got to run all the big stuff working the mines here in central Florida. Some stuff ya just can’t get out of your blood. Enjoy seeing some of the ole dinosaurs come back to life!

[@georgeanderson3754]

Can you use the winch on the back of the dozer to try and break the tracks free? That’s assuming the winch works.

[@shawnrobinson5156]

I bet the brakes bands r stuck

[@anthonypiligno7618]

🎉🎉 would love to see what ever you guys do with the mill or the pusher...🎉🎉 thanks 🙏 guys for the video 📸📸📸.... JJ...😊

Thank you. Hopefully he will feel like fooling with one day.

[@GoofieNewfie69]

what is it, the guy from diesel creek does a chalmer now everybody got to do one too

[@karenkartz3163]

Those treads are siezed tight there will be no rolling that machine out it will be dragged out. Chances are the centre of the clutch is corroded away.

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks for sharing Thank you for watching

[@zacharylindsay2178]

I would give it bath power washing rollers under tracks Willy

[@ChrisShultis]

I’m telling you, if you can’t get an Allis Chalmers running, then blow it up. They have always been the best starting diesels.

[@DontbeWily]

Lol

[@geesss8675]

Wiley's hand felt like Bill Cosby's female acquaintances on date nights

[@OldFarmAcresJoelK.]

It's about time huh Wiley.

[@kirk467]

You need another dozer pulling it while you try to get them to turn on its own!

[@shawngronachan4885]

Wily, you want to feel frozen hands? Come to Buffalo N.Y. in January. I'll even take you up to Niagara falls. You'll feel cold , like you'll never forget.

get some heat on those tracks

[@thepubliceye]

I can't watch the loading part again, the disrespectful way Hank treats and talks to you gets me steamed.

[@SiR2Dean]

No offence intended but I feel this is as much a video about where not to stand when using a winch... thankfully it all held out. Be safe, I like your videos 😉

[@DontbeWily]

None taken Thank you for sharing Thanks for watching

[@alanlanghorn9528]

Final drive needs to be removed to freewheel it for towing or have problems latter

[@Grease1987]

No it doesn’t that should freewheel no problem, I have the identical machine. Either the steering brakes are rusted to the drums or the track pins are siezed, I can pull my hd6 in neutral with my half ton

[@M_Phipps0520]

I think that filter fits a 302 , 318 & who knows how many other engines

[@ted9693]

Wiley I love your videos. I unsubscribed from Hanks channel. I get tired of his comments about other channels

[@johnreed3418]

Does your uncle want to sell the blade and c-frame by any chance? I wouldn't mind having that and the winch for my HD6
