International TD-14 Walk Around

In my travels in California I found this early International Harvester TD-14 sitting and I stop to check it out.
Its an early IH TD-14 with an American Bosch injection pump that I am unfamiliar with unlike most with the big cast iron IH pumps. These engines start on gasoline and switch to diesel when warmed up for ease of starting. An interesting alternative to Caterpillar's pony engines. Although the system worked very well and avoided the need for an auxiliary engine, most were not cooled down before being shut off and this practice lead to heads cracking.
International used this method of starting their diesel engines until the mid to late 1950s when a direct start diesel engine was introduced.
This machine would be comparable to a Caterpillar D6.
