I have a 175c loader, best piece of equipment iv ever had, dt466 powered, will start with the temps in the teens without either, and when it starts it runs smooth as silk and does not even have a haze coming out the stack, caterpillar couldn’t dream of that type of engineering lol International Harvester out did them selves on the td15/175, true American know how and iron, will still move dirt with the best of them today. Looking good as always Frank, keep putting out the content.
Marveling at how clean the tracks are as you pulled it onto the trailer... which reminds me I need to wash my 125c down today and make sure the track bolts are intact & in place. Your repair videos have helped me immensely as I learn how to deal with my ancient 455c backhoe & 125c loader.
Good video Sir, I have to that TD15C is a nice dozer it will just keep running when the newer stuff is down for a computer chip, sensor or regeneration lol Your friend from warmer Michigan !!!
TD15 stuff sums this up perfectly Frank !! Lil' Red pulling your dad's dozer around the back roads with ease, then watching you pull and push the trees and scrub about the field, the big tree put up a canny fight against you !!!
nice W900 . Sounds a bit better on top end than it did looping over the washboard. Bet that was a bumpy ride ... The O'l TD15 did a good days work. Thanks Frank for sharing
Have sat in the seat of 3 x TD 15s for over 20,000hrs, did over 6,000hrs on each from new, great dozers, well balanced, good ground clearance and very zippy with plenty of grunt.
nice looking machine, my dad bought a brand new TD20c in 1972 looks almost exactly like it, except for the instrument panel, same cab and sweeps though. looks like you need a new set of tracks, or at least pads.
This is an older video, It was in February. The td8 is running better than me, I’m trying to get some videos out. The balance of working videos and rebuild videos is kinda hard to get right. I hope to get the remaining rebuild videos out soon. In the mean time I may throw some more videos of jobs out, I don’t know. Editing is a lot more work than actually doing work if ya know what I mean. I do appreciate you watching.
@@Digginok you just keep on chippin away Franko, we'll still be here sortin the stuff be it b95, td stuff, little red stuff or just brown stuff while you're fixin em or workin em haha!
Man maybe you can help me out. My wife’s papas just gave me one like this and it’s been sitting a while. I got a couple of decent batteries so I can try and crank it, but I can’t figure out how (haven’t spent a lot of time trying) to get the seat lifted up to get the batteries changed out. Can you help explain how to do this? Thanks in advance! Great vid by the way.
Frank… even with twice the horsepower, those gnarly tree clumps gave that dozer a workout. I bet the TD8 was glad to get a pass on this job! I was 19 in ‘73… you’ve proven that was a time when machines were built tough. But times were pretty tough also. Tough machines find a way to survive…. So far I’m still makin’ it too! Is that the dozer you learned on? #farmalldozersaresurvivors
I have a 15c also. What throttle position do you run at? I usually keep it around 3/4 but I’ve had a lot of people say that they are meant to run wide open. Good video !!
@@Digginok nice video. My Dad used to run an old td15 and they had to run it less than full throttle or it would spin a bearing. Probably had the same governor issue that your dad's does. Little Red got a good workout hauling the 15.

That big ol clump was a real bugger. Thought it was going to try and sneak the root ball up under the blade. Fine display of skill as always.
It was a tough one for sure! Thanks for watching

Another great video, Frank. I bet you were real happy when that big tree gave up the fight-some of those branchs lookd a bit too close for comfort !!
Looks good Frank. I could watch that old cat all day. Keep smilin
Thanks!
There wasn't a Cat in the video!
nice W900 . Sounds a bit better on top end than it did looping over the washboard. Bet that was a bumpy ride ...
The O'l TD15 did a good days work.
Thanks Frank for sharing
Thanks! Red was a bit aggravated that I missed the fear coming out of deep reduction.
@@Digginok I've never done anything like that before 🤥 in my life🤥
@@Digginok I thought I heard that, ha they will make em out of plastic next year
@@Fatamus me either, every day 🤣!

Red was thinking you had backhoe and td8 on trailer. Ol truck sounding good. 15 is beast of a dozer.
Yeah that's a ood excuse!!! Whoops i missed a g there! 15 is a beast for sure

Thanks, we are getting ready to do the undercarriage.
Looks like the TD15 did a good job cleaning up that fence line.
Hey Scruffy 👍
@@Fatamus how you doing?
She did alright! Thanks for watching
watching lil' red reminds me of hauling wheat calves in the pan handle of Texas, riding them section line roads
Yeah we got a few miles around here that are kinda nice!
glad you had a cage when pushing the big tree
Great video as always Frank thanks for sharing 🦘👍
Thanks! Appreciate you watching
Dang Frank I didn’t know you were still working on your own dozer. It’s been kind of sporadic update on the motor and transmission.

@@Digginok Some jobs take longer to get the tools out; than to complete. Some problems the cure is worse than cause.

How many hp the truck?
350 Cummins

#farmalldozersaresurvivors
Man that big tree sure put up a fight🤦♂️ probably good thing you had the 15 and not the 8 👍
Yeah I knew the 8 was not up to the job. 15c is a whole different game!
Where are your from in Oklahoma my dad owned a dozer and dump truck service in wewoka Oklahoma until his death in 1988
Great video buddy 👍
Thanks 👍
1973 when I graduated high school 👍
Is that a big cam Cummings I hear?
You would think that you could edit out the gears that you missed.. I never miss gears like that
Let's see.... hmmm... have you made a video lately???? Well I guess we have no proof then huh?
I have a 15c also. What throttle position do you run at? I usually keep it around 3/4 but I’ve had a lot of people say that they are meant to run wide open. Good video !!
The governor is a bit off on this one. We usually run a bit lower than full throttle.
@@Digginok nice video. My Dad used to run an old td15 and they had to run it less than full throttle or it would spin a bearing. Probably had the same governor issue that your dad's does. Little Red got a good workout hauling the 15.
If it was me and my luck it would be a 73 kw and 73 td15 and a $7300 overload ticket trying to move it. lol
That’s why we use the backroads!!!
Backroads and weekends
Your W900 is missing a axle!!
Nope, been that way from the factory.
"Mr. Shifter"
I like it! lol
hey brothers been a long time
Howdy Tim!
You better buy that dozer ................and a dump truck☻
No dump trucks! That's all I got to say about that!
Might be first....hunkering down in the Florida rain....
Stay dry n safe
@@Fatamus Thanks! Tropical storm this time...rather have that instead of a hurricane....
Rain makes corn!
get a little bit more done with this one than yours. might as well hold onto dads dozer for a while haha
Yeah I don’t think the 8 would have handled that one! Hopefully the 15 is going to be around quite a while.
