GreenGiant2 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 looks like an a/c to me Quote We the unwilling, Lead by the unqualified, are doing the impossible, for the ungrateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milaca Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Looks like an early 1950's Allis Chalmers HD-9 with a GM diesel, perhaps a 4-71. My dad once had a 1957 AC HD-9 with a 4-71 but it had hydraulic lift and the blade was manual angle and tilt (pull pins for adjustment). It was a bit of a light-weight machine as compared to a Cat.

fifth wheel Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I am sure that is an HD 11, they where made with both their own engine (Buda design) and GM. The AC engine sounded better, and their tradmark color was orange. Our first crawler loader was a AC H-3.Nice picture.FW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifth wheel Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 From what I know the AC line was orange for both agricultural and construction machines. In the early 60's the small machines H3,HD3, HD5 were a bleached out yellow. In the 70's the construction machines small and larger HD16,HD21,HD41, and others were sandard yellow. Ag tractors were orange.The Allis Chalmers were favorites among the local farmers,D15,D17,WD45, and more and othen had nickmnames for them like "Alice", one farm had a HD9 and a HD11, they were the "little rooster and the "big rooster". Many operators would say "even on the farm she was a charmer".This is my H3 crawler loader in 4/10/77. I was a normal occurance to go throughout the town plowing driveways etc. with crawlers and other equipment.Those were the days, FW 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
