There is a lot of work to do on this and it looks like the cab is a bit mangled.
Being the last surviving one of its kind, we will be going the extra mile to repair and restore it for future generations.

What the hell kind of dozer is that at 5:50?! Never seen one of them before. .....Hippy
Allis Chalmers. Not sure what the model number is. The blade is fixed to the frame and is raised and lowered by the cylinders pushing down on the tracks. The blade can't be tilted and the rigid mount makes it hard to see what you are doing. This design wasn't very popular so many were not made.

but looking at that photo you posted about that old shovel reminded me when I was like kid they used to be a lot of old-fashioned steam shovels they were using on the job back in the early 60s they’ve come along way… oooooooooohhhh by the way, I am off today. Plenty of time to play with my phone…. BobYou are welcome to come visit our show where we operate the old shovels. We do have operational steam rollers however, no one in the club is trained to operate steam equipment so our steam machines are static display only.
This video is from our 2017 open house

Can you explain the self-loading? Thanks.
I believe Joe H was talking about a scraper.

I think I have a piece of sales literature on these in my collection.
Could you post a picture of your literature in this thread?

I see that you are from Ohio. What club are you a part of? Do you have shows where we can all come see this beast?
We are the Harry Young Chapter of Northeast Ohio (https://www.facebook.com/HarryYoungChapter) and the club is the Historical Construction Equipment Association. (HCEA.net)
Our club will have an open house the last Saturday in April.
I'm not sure if you're interested in other makes of truck but, we have 3 AC Macks in various stages of restoration, a 1918 WWI White TBC, a 1913 Buick car with a gas starter, and an Indiana dump truck to name a few. (I have a video of the Indiana on YouTube)
We have draglines from Bucyrus Erie, Northwest, P&H, Lorain and a steam powered Erie that is being worked on.
Bulldozers from Alis Chalmers, Euclid, Cletrac,
A GE yard locomotive on about 300' of track (I call this train "The Bi-polar express")
We also have a few unique and rare pieces like the Mack Pack, a concept Euclid wheel dozer (only 2 ever built), a prototype Euclid L-20, and the Euclid FFD1 Dyno truck used at Euclid's proving grounds.
Our address is: 3498 Frost Rd. Mantua, Ohio 44255

Repair the engine and use it in our club’s museum operations.

Not yet. The engine is stuck so we plan to soak the pistons with ATF/Acetone and see if we can get it unstuck.
