      Yeah I like the old girl as well. Keen to do a few hours on it but the price of diesel is holding me back.

    Every timeI see the Alice working, it never ceases to amaze me how you ever retrieved it from that slide into the creek bed.

      Yep everytime i walk past that spot I’m reminded of what a shit fight I landed myself in that time.

    Beautiful piece of Allis engineering right there and being operated by someone who knows his machine. In my opinion, Allis Chalmers was the only company that made industrial equipment on par with Caterpillar. International Harvester tried, but in their panic to catch up they abandoned proper research and development. Some of the earlier comments have peeked my curiosity so I'm looking forward to learning how that ole 21 came to be.

    Absolutely love that machine, ever since you got her unstuck awhile back! A true battle tank,, er I mean dozer! Nice to watch her work, and I'm sure you love operating her as well. Again thanks for the video, all the best, and may God bless everyone.

    Great video Rob and Kel. I love seeing the Alice getting a good workout. I liked view from the dozer when Kel climbed on board. The Alice brings to mind being a kid in Bundaberg and living around the corner from Alex Walker and watching him loading or unloading his machines.

    My family used to have a farm in Gippsland, near Strzelecki, and we had an ancient Allis-Chalmers dozer with a cable actuated blade!!! Must have been from the '50s.

    Never get tired of watching the old Alice working for her diesel! It really sounds better the more you run it! Do your boys get to operate her yet? That would be a good skill to pass on to them! I'd even like to see Kell operating it LOL!

    • @mountainblockmoments
      @mountainblockmoments  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Walt, my eldest lad has steered her around a bit, but he hasn’t done much “real” work with the Allis yet. I agree on both the boys getting some experience on the dozer it’s the same old story, finding the time🤷. I reckon Kell would give it a crack but her short legs would come against her😂😂 have to find some pillows to prop her up in the seat.
      Diesel currently $2.30 a litre. I have one more video of the Allis to put up not sure when I will get another one done at those prices.

      Drive by feel and what is coming out behind you. Actually you can just see the back bottom edge of the blade from the operator’s position which allows you to adjust a little but a lot of it is by feel. I will try to do a video that shows what I can see 👍🏼👍🏼
