Brings back memories of "Bulldozer" by Stephen Meador which I read as a kid in the 1950's. Loved that story and it left a real impression on me as I still recall the story after 70 years. A young guy recovers a D2 from a lake and uses it to start a contracting business. A real American story of pluck and hard work.

@rolandmohler2695 3 месяца назад

I loved that book as a kid. Read it to my kids. I bought one to read to my grandkids. It's still available as a reprint. Bulldozer by Steven W Meader.

@jmyers9853 3 года назад

i was told a story of a big bulldozer that sunk in the swampy mud around the gulfport Mississippi airport during ww2. my friend said the last thing they saw was the exhaust pipe still puffing smoke when it went under.

@waterskiingfool 2 года назад

That's amazing that after all those years, someone knew pretty much the exact location it went down. And that your were able to recover it. That wrecker was a beast.

@stevenspaziani9159 4 года назад

Love seeing and hearing about old equipment like this being rescued, Love how it still rolled on it's own tracks, but being submerged in a swamp little to no oxidation was able to occur I mean the blade was still virtually spotless from what I could see. And how about a big shout out to Jim's wrecker service, that is an awesome piece of equipment.

I found a massive RD8 with a tracked logging winch stuck in the Adirondack mountains. Heard about it for years and finally found it! Parked since the early 60s. It took 5 machines and lots of time to get it out. It received a full restoration and was eventually sold to a collector. History lives!

@ducksp6405 4 года назад

@nazikiller0164 3 года назад

Man this brings back memories....I was a kid living near there when she sank to the bottom. We found chunks of frozen dirt thrown about a quarter mile by the blast when they tried to free her from the frozen mud. As I recall, Len Grotnes warned them not to do it, but they attempted it anyway. Farmers knew that cattle could be lost that way and I knew of another nearby slough that had reportedly claimed some. There is water water everywhere in that country, and the swamps can be dangerous even in the winter.

My father cut firewood as a second income in the early 1960's. I remember going with him to "help" him when I was about 9 years old. He gave a bottle of Jim Beam to the bulldozer driver to push some of the logs to one side instead of into the burn pile. This thing was BIG and had a brush rake on the blade that had 2 foot long teeth. He gave me a ride... pushing downed trees- branches and all into a huge burning pile. What a thrill for a 9 year old... and I will never forget that it was a TD-24!

Check out our Facebook page Pine to Prairie Antique Tractor & Gas Engine Assoc. Lots of pictures on there! Also Pioneer Fest August 14th -16th in Perham we'll be featuring The dozer. 99% chance it will be running. Come check it out!

I can't believe the tracks and axles are not locked up.

How cool to capture all this history in the making!!! Awesome video and adventure people!! I’m impressed!!!

Thanks. It's well on its way to being up and about. Had it running on gas last fall.

Duck SP what year is the dozer, have showed this video to a bunch of my friends that have connections to equipment, etc. everyone is so impressed!! One other question, have looked at some other videos on the 24, did some have a split exhaust manifold with two stacks and some not???

@ducksp6405 4 года назад

@@LLAHTI1 I'm very glad to hear that! Everybody involved really appreciates the positive feedback. We believe it's a 1959. The serial number lists for the TD-24'S seem a bit confusing. This one has the twin stacks. Far as I'm aware the TD-24'S all had twin stacks. I'm no expert on this topic however.
