Fantastic footage of this classic piece of AC history, glad to see it is still on the job! Very impressive! We used to run AC HD21s and IH TD25s, last time I remember they were still on the job making the company money in 2021!
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.
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.
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.
@@mountainblokemoments No Rob, I left Bundy when I was 18 back in 1970. I was born in Bundy as was my Mum. I just have 1 brother there now. I live in Ipswich.
Good to see you both out and waking up the Allis, love the sound of the old girl doing what she was made for, and the looks on your face showed that you where having a good time. All the best but remember to also take time out to charge the batteries.
good to see that very workable old iron and it handles it well with your ditrection never did any dozer work myself even though i did spend a lot of time in of west australia but you fit right into it and suits you cheers kepp that dozer going
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.
On ya Rob, you and the Mrs are livin the dream, no matter what happens you had a go. My old man drove a BTD 24 and his mate who worked together drove a HD21. This was back in 60's. All the best mate. PS you have excellent blade control.
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!
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.
Boy, that other two-track is really washed out bad. Make good drainage for the new road. Now you can haul butt through that valley. You’re moving around more and I hope feeling some better. 👍👍👀
Kell doing the camera work definitely adds to the experience thats for sure. Trying something a bit different with the outro trying to leave people with a smile at the end of the videos👍🏼
G'day mate another job well done 👍 When I'm doing finishing off I have to back up with the blade as to level out the Ups n downs other wise it's rougher than the tanami track 😕😄
Yep once that dirt gets away from you in a dozer very hard to get it back under control. Pushing bulk dirt helps and not trying to take to much in on go.
@@mountainblokemoments yep mate I know what you mean I believe man made will never compare to mother nature but alice sometimes pushes this statement I believe I Need one but kaz is not so Enthusiastic 😦
The Alice is a pushing machine, 30 years to grow and 30 seconds to fall those trees. 👍 Yes I hope that new road gives you better access to your property.
Allis ❤ sounds and looks beautiful, I hope you gave her some TLC when you finished for the day. BTW love the fluffy 🎲, is the hoola girl called Kell? 👍🏴
For a good while now I have been watching videos of shiny new modern dozers, You know the ones ,Cat, Komatsu etc , but... your old bent up dirty dozer runs rings around those contemporary contraptions.
Mais um like do 🇧🇷 🙂👍 no vídeo da pra ver que e um trator antigo mais tem força 💪 bruta o ronco do motor e bonito , mais um escrito 🔔 tamos juntos!!!!!
Up in them thar hills the old girl sings like a bird of paradise but your turning the old girl into a Coburg Caddy with the fluffy dice, the Hula girl on the dash next you'll have the noddy dog on the fuel tank. You can't destroy the old girls vocal chords Ahhhhhhh better than opera. If those trees could talk I'll bet they shit when that bloody great proboscus come borin" down on 'em.
Fella near Heradale got few of them dozer bigger I think he bought one new overseas in crates put it together wid couple mates it got enormous stump rack your old dear doing okay though AYE
Next size up from the 21 is a 41 and that is a massive machine not too many 41s around just too big for most applications unless it’s a quarry or mine. My Allis goes pretty good most of the time👍🏼👍🏼
I'm not exactly sure what your definition is of improving. I hope that you never " improve" my road. It I do absolutely love Alice. The worlds most beautiful Bulldozer.
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 👍🏼👍🏼

Beautiful piece of Allis chalmers
Hello Rob,
That's a awsome dozer. i enjoy watching it work. Boe
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.
Fantastic footage of this classic piece of AC history, glad to see it is still on the job! Very impressive! We used to run AC HD21s and IH TD25s, last time I remember they were still on the job making the company money in 2021!
Glad you enjoyed it great old tractors
@@mountainblokemoments I sure did! They sure are!

Cheers mate, yep I enjoy operating the old girl such a great way to see where you have been that day which is something I have always enjoyed.
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.
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.
If you have a look through my videos I’ve done a walk around a couple old cable blade dozers on a property out west.
Good to see you up at your block doing a bit I know when I’m out at my block makes me feel good and love seeing the old allis working cheers mate
Nothing like being out in nature with a huge machine crushing it under track😉😂
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.
Are you still around Bundy mate?
@@mountainblokemoments No Rob, I left Bundy when I was 18 back in 1970. I was born in Bundy as was my Mum. I just have 1 brother there now. I live in Ipswich.
Sweet dozer! Way cooler than the new ones. Even comes with its own shed.
We call that shed a scrub canopy it protects the operator from falling debris when pushing trees or pulling scrub with another dozer and a long chain.
Nice work Rob .. nothing better than seeing that dozer at work … take care 👌
Cheers mate thanks👍🏼👍🏼
Salut from one hatched in Fort Gary, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, in 1952.

Good to see you both out and waking up the Allis, love the sound of the old girl doing what she was made for, and the looks on your face showed that you where having a good time. All the best but remember to also take time out to charge the batteries.
Yep Kell and I went for a walk up the creek early in the morning just to take in the serenity.
good to see that very workable old iron and it handles it well with your ditrection never did any dozer work myself even though i did spend a lot of time in of west australia but you fit right into it and suits you cheers kepp that dozer going
There are days the Allis and I don’t see eye to eye but generally we can still get the job done👍🏼
Enjoyed watching this one. 👍
Cheers Mark 👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺

Thanks Rodney, the Allis hydraulics are a bit slow but we get the job done.

I know this video is a year of but I hope you all are still doing ok. I always enjoyed watch your videos.. especially the Allis videos 😊
I really enjoyed that, that soil looks great no quartz on your land ie gold nuggets, thanks from NZ
There be quartz just not in that area👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺
Boy, that other two-track is really washed out bad. Make good drainage for the new road. Now you can haul butt through that valley. You’re moving around more and I hope feeling some better. 👍👍👀
Yep other road has never had any water diversion put into it. So was just a glorified drain anyway, hopefully the bit we did will be an improvement.
Great work Rob looking good 🦘👍
Thanks Kerry👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺
The "Alice" is a BEAST. Always good to see it in the wild!
Great camera work by Kell! Intro outro might need work.....🤣
Kell doing the camera work definitely adds to the experience thats for sure. Trying something a bit different with the outro trying to leave people with a smile at the end of the videos👍🏼
Where you guys at the land looks beautiful
Mount Perry Qld Australia
God’s country
A great looking and sounding machine! Do you think the tracks are a little tight? I don't see any slack at all.
Only needs about 25mm deflection from front idler to first top roller
G'day mate another job well done 👍
When I'm doing finishing off I have to back up with the blade as to level out the Ups n downs other wise it's rougher than the tanami track
😕😄
Yep once that dirt gets away from you in a dozer very hard to get it back under control. Pushing bulk dirt helps and not trying to take to much in on go.
@@mountainblokemoments yep mate I know what you mean
I believe man made will never compare to mother nature but alice sometimes pushes this statement
I believe I Need one but kaz is not so
Enthusiastic 😦
Tell Kaz, Rob said it will be fine😉😂😂
Ag great ol a.c. doing what they love hard work but Makin it look easy with an operator who fits the machine ron rdzl
Thanks Ron appreciate the comment 👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺
The Alice is a pushing machine, 30 years to grow and 30 seconds to fall those trees. 👍 Yes I hope that new road gives you better access to your property.
Plenty more trees where they came from😉😂
Hi Rob and family , fantastic video mate 👍 great to see the bulldozer going again, take care you all there,and stay safe mate 👍.
Thanks Brett, good to be doing a bit with the Allis again.
All,that intro needs was a bush chook in hand
the old Iron still has a bit of life left in her .. runs good
She does👍🏼
Great viewing Rob
Glad you enjoyed it👍🏼🇦🇺
Good old-fashioned masculine power
I always think of the Allis as a she🤷 but I think of all my machines as female for some reason🤷.
She's a brutal old girl. Hope you, Kel and the family are well Rob.
Brute force is underrated😉😂😂
Allis ❤ sounds and looks beautiful, I hope you gave her some TLC when you finished for the day.
BTW love the fluffy 🎲, is the hoola girl called Kell? 👍🏴
Boys gave me those for a Father’s Day present a few years ago, the hula girl is called “Grashenka” (family in joke)
what a beast
For a good while now I have been watching videos of shiny new modern dozers, You know the ones ,Cat, Komatsu etc , but... your old bent up dirty dozer runs rings around those contemporary contraptions.
She was a great old girl, I wished I could have kept the dozer and the mountain block but unfortunately wasn’t to be.
Voima puhuu💪 allis clalmers👍🥇🏆
Allis power rocks👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺
Allis in Wonderland .... nice country there Rob

The Allis is a strong old girl that’s for sure

what was wrong with the tree it didn’t look dead?
Nothing wrong with the tree other than it was in the way of the new road.
Nice narrow leafed iron bark. Get a good strainer out of him.
A strainer of two i should think
@@mountainblokemoments Hope your chain's sharp.
I'm not exactly sure what your definition is of improving. I hope that you never " improve" my road. It I do absolutely love Alice. The worlds most beautiful Bulldozer.
Haha you should have seen the other road😂😂
👍🎅🏻
👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺 Santa can bring me a few thousand litres of diesel to keep the Allis going😉😂
The driver is so far back on this machine, I can’t work out how he can see what the blade's doing.
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 👍🏼👍🏼

Can't hear anything you're saying over your Dozer
Well then it would be like being right there cause I can’t hear what I’m saying for the dozer either😉😂😂
Then don't talk in front of the Dozer wait and shut it off
