Donald Bartram they sure did. Made all the competition look stupid! I’d still rather sit on a c or e series ih than the latest cat Deere or Komatsu, not that there is anything wrong with them I just like the way the interns run. Am yet to run a new dressta or see any working in the flesh, I hope they live up to the old ones
My Uncle was a Cmndr in the SeaBees He was in charge of Davisville RI . I use to go there with him & see all the boots training on heavy equiptment.. It was cool & this brought back memories
I had to individually replace all the track pads on a TD25 we had in Rosey Roads in 1989. As I recall I may have pissed off the Heavy Shop Chief to get that task. Reward was I learned how operate it when done.
Brand new, wow. I bought a navy D7G amazing machine. But engine did fail O rings on sleeves dry rot got water in oil. And had to change all hoses. They sit for 35 years and things rot. But it's great now.
reefready td24 hell.of a scoop tractor even today, 15c best pusher of that size and nimble on a hill, excellent to trim with. 25c best bulk machine out there out push a d8t and can still trim pretty well to if you in to that
reefready also 15c and 20c are awesome winch tractors, with a 15 you know if you can't get to the logs its tower country. internationals were phenomenal machines, spent so much time effort and money on development, made the best product they could. company was ruined by the corporates running it getting greedy and being fraudulent
