Old Detroit screams to life after 24 years!!! 65 year old crawler lives again!!! 

The GM Diesels (later Detroit, after the anti-trust suit) were designed starting in 1936 alongside it's big brother, the 567.

Allis Chalmers never dies

What engine did the 14 have in it?

@@ConvairDart106 G M 6/71 as did the 15 @ 19.

@@rossgray3070 We had an. HD9 on the farm that could pull a ten bottom plow all day long in 4th gear on the wheat hills of the Palouse country. It could out pull all of the D6 Cats that the neighbors had. When I quit farming, and started fishing, most of the vessels I worked on in the Bering sea had at least one detroit on-board. When I bought my own vessel, it had five! Two 871's for main power, a 471 (1938 model upgraded to the 4 valve head) for basic house power, a 671 When running the cranes or refrigeration, and when using all the equipment on the boat, an 8V92 which had plenty of power to spare! I can rebuild a 71 series in my sleep! The first crawler I ran, was the TD14, followed by the HD9, then the D69U, D4, and lastly, the TD20 for Washington state DNR. You can probably guess my age from the equipment I ran!

@@ConvairDart106 GM 6/71, same as the 15 & 19.

@@MidwestFarmToys This has been a truly beautiful equipment repair video! Thanks for sharing!

Allis bought Monarch crawlers and put their name on them. They used Detroit until they bought Buda.

He will only do it once

Especially with how little pressure it takes after so long to slide in to gear those shifters become so loose all it takes is a sudden jerk to get it going and I know because my grandpa had one and thank god we had it chained to our bigger tractor because it grabbed First and took off

Nothing wrong with "safety Sam", i know a few guys who aren't around any more. Maybe a little Sam might have saved them?

True that 🤕

My old girlfriends father stood between the wheels of a wheeled tractor to start it. He was lucky he was on a freshly plowed field. The rear wheel ran right up the length of his body, crushing him into the soil. He's alive, but don't walk real straight anymore.

The tractor needs a good restoration now including a paint job.

I worked on the landing craft (army) it had 3 main engines 6-71. We had them screaming at 1700 RPM for hours, running up and down the east coast, we even took them to Panama. That was 1984 and these were the same engines that were in Vietnam.

If it was a M113 it would have been a Detroit 6V53. Same basic design, just newer and more compact.

Never heard of a HD12.Been around HD9 and HD11 both of which had 4-71's in them.

Sure is :)

6-110 not a 6-71

@@mikefrey6668 no, that's a 6-71

@@harrimanfox8961 agree. There is a number of differences that identify this as a 6-71, no doubt about it and very obvious. The 6-110 looks nothing like a 6-71 to someone who knows Detroits. Most noticeable difference is the 6-110 doe not have the rounded “humps” that stick out on the sides of the front of the engine to cover the balancer weights on the cam/balancer shaft.

I have the t9 gas international mid forties it’s my workhorse

I have a TD9 gas to diesel l want to sell

HD 7 has a 371 detroit.

@@briankennedy5578 I thought all Hd7's were 3-71's too, but this one had a 4-71 in it and it had to be factory made. It was an ag machine w no blade. Guy I got it from said he got it from the Nebraska panhandle. I have some good pics of it I'll try to post em here somehow

@@Miniaturehorseexpress someone must have swapped it. Any 71 series will bolt right in. They're all basically the same engine add or subtract cylinders. I was needing an engine for my HD10W and almost swapped a 671 for the 471. 2 additional cylinders looked like a bit more room than i could get by remounting the radiator. And i found a 471 for a good price. Not as good as i thought. Turns out it had some problems. But with it and the old one ill make a runner.... I hope. A bit confusing right now. So many options due to versatility of 71 series. If i can use flywheel housing on new engine it'll be a piece of cake. If not ill have to put blower on opposite side. Then deal with the rotation and all the other assembly options. The new one is 3/4" deeper than the old one. So if the flywheels are the same itll need a spacer on the flywheel. ????? Have to get old out and look.

Good point i was looking at that open air intake and was cringing.

Lekker man lekker

@@spotty4710 Sho sho umfana!

That is a machine.

nice, good idea. Or can use a vice and a more basic setup, but the tool is nicer

It didn't run away because he had a death grip on the rack with a pair of vice grips. Otherwise it might have!

All it takes is one stuck injector at full throttle and you are off to the races.

@@mikemullay5622 I saw one in 1968 I was 17 but raised around cars&trucks...BUT it still scared me to death I expected rods&pistons to be a flyin😊

671 Detroit Super Charged=6 cylinders, each cylinder has 71 cubic inches for a total of 426 cubic inches, the super charger is on the side of the block.

Not much compreshion

Tutto ok buono

@@antoniogomiero9478 ll . Mo

Sure is all the old mills around here had them!

Thats how my dad did it...

And they stick

@@jeffgarrett2114 yep, rack and pinions sieze in injector body,

Don t You know!!! A Good Hot day 👍 And that Grease Smell FLASH BACK TO MY YOUTH !!

Hey Steven thanks!! I got that start button from the Mac truck when I worked at cummins. If you can't get to a Mac or snap on guy you can probably get them at harbor freight I would think

I used to get them from NAPA auto. We would use them to rotate cotton picker headers when setting bar height and checking or replacing spindles.....old 99 and 299 gas engine John Deere pickers

Let's keep in touch!
