Most operators now wouldn’t know how to start much less run those old. TD’s and cats . My first scraper was in a DW21 .. I learned really quickly what being gentle was on those cable cans after changing a few cables by my self ... and I’m a youngster at a young age of 44 ... I still want to find and restore one of those dw’s
Love it! Reminds me of the great men I met when I started wrenching, in 1971. Mostly ww2 survivors, tough hard working and honest. They didn't quite know what to think about my generation. But their respect was given to anybody who worked as hard as they did, with humor and without bitching. The few that are left must be pushin 100 years old. God bless you, Orville,Charley,Jack,Peanuts,Vern,and Purdey Ugly. And Many more I never met. These men were Oregon Loggers, but their kind was everywhere at the time.
We had a TD 24 & scrapper on the ranch back in the day. Built a lot of reservoirs with that machine and rescued cattle in snow storms, pulled out stuck school buses, opened neighbors roads and so on. Brings back memories.
A lot of things since lost of this video Jefferson.........honesty, work ethics, skills, and reward. I say reward because these men damn well earned what they had and a lot came with being able to own tractors like that in those days, weren't a whole lot of bullshitting your way into lookin good or telling what you could do in those days..........put up or shut up and if you can't put it up there's the door, I ain't got time ner money to waste when there's plenty uh men can do it. I'll also say some art lost in it too because these are the end of the men who built america and the generations that followed were kind of phasing out of the huge mass earth moving projects that formed what this sad nation is turning into.................at 32 years old and being spoiled pretty damn well by the technology of this day, I wish I could've grown up in the time of this footage..............you all probably think I'm looney as a pet coon, but I'm extremely old school and simple at heart.........and mind lmao! Likely not a hard enough person to make it far at that time but I still have to appreciate the simple life without Cell phones, social misunderstanding.....I mean media, FAR less political horseshit, and less Fu-arging people!! But then we wouldn't be able to visit with one another on the TH-cams and get learnt by ol Jefferson and his bes' good ditch dozer Mr. TD24, or our pardner Shaner keepin Jeffey in line........so with that contradictory trickeration scribbled out, what the hell.....ice cream and gold stars for everybody cuz 'everybody' is special an equal 🤣🤣😏😏🥱
Back in the late 80s the first company I worked for has a d8 w pony moter an twin witches for the blade. Factory rope too...had to be 50s something...still could move dirt like an hydro machine out there...fun times
Jeff those days were of iron men and wooden steering wheels. My dad born 1917 was also a WWII veteran served in the US Army in the Pacific Theater. Wish we could sit and talk about how our dads made America after the war. Mine was truck driver and owner/operator then older brother and I followed the tradition. Dad had a Harley too and rode with a buddy 130 miles from the farm to south side of Chicago to Eastern Motor Express terminal. Winter, spring, summer and fall from '50 to '54 (?) On a 2 hour show up call from dispatch. Flat out up US 41. Can remember finding a box of his riding gear years later. His drivers uniform with Eastern he wore a shirt and tie and those military style dress caps. I bet our dads could tell some tales if they were here. Dad bought his first COE KW in 1960 and pulled reefer from Chicago to west coast hauling swinging beef out and produce back. He got his first Peterbilt with a 360 horse 3406 cat and it run like 560! Those big turbos those days. Anyway thanks for another great video. Later
Always have to appreciate the past... Started sweeping the floor for an our fit that still ran Bucyrus Erie gear in the 90s' how things have changed and I am not long in the tooth but started when gear first started going away from mechanical..to ECM. Never forget where ya came from …. Thanks for sharing..
Just love watching these old machines in action, seeing how things were done way back when. Thanks for the memories Jeff from Kevin in Yorkshire England
😱 O M G ...🥃 AWESOME / AWESOME 🥃.... 😥 TAKE ME BACK TO THE 40's / 50's-------😉 Grew up north of Klamath Falls, dad operated TD 14 + deuce -n-half 6x6 so I saw plenty of peat ground dust, potato and wheat farming til the 60's. Nice editing and could watch that all night.👍 Was always fascinated by the cat logging equipment, out in the (old growth) west of Klamath Lake. Thanks Jeff 😍😍😍😍😍
Hello Mr.Paydirt! Hehehe. Paul hricovec from avon,ohio! I watch alot of these movies, they r awesome. Those were real operators. Not sissy ones like iam today with a radio and a/c lol. I grew up and cut my teeth on a 1959 case 530 backhoe. Digging drainage and running a john deere 1010 dozer with a bad hand clutch. I was about 8 then. Thank god for equipment evolution, iam no where near as tough at 38 as I was at 8 lol. Have a great evening thanks for video sir 🍻
You can't be but one of a handful of people that has this kind of footage of their dad. I'm guessing if it made it to you tube you've already transferred some at least to CD. Save every film you can that way. Your sons will appreciate it more than you one day. Neat stuff. Thanks for sharing
Wow! He packed an 8mm camera around most of the time, that is awesome. That footage is priceless, and a treasure. I could watch that stuff day & night. A real treat for we viewers as well, fer sure... Thank you sir. Can we have some more...
Absolutely phenomenal Mr. Paydirt! Neat to see the old school stuff where it all started so to speak. The only thing I was waiting for at the end was a "Color by Technicolor" blurb like you'd see on old movies that were colorized. Glad you still have the memories, sir...
wow... roll back my memories CAT doctor, I happen to operate one of the old machine out of this video, that is the scraper with smaller tiers in front made by Terex back then..in the 1955 i think.. I love this video my man .. thanks for shearing..
Used to run a TD 15 Dozer 50,s to 60,s machine , gas start / Diesel engine , hand clutch , gear trans , hyd . Worked good , l could move a lot of dirt in a day with it . Built a few ponds with it . Pretty simple to fix most things on it too . Ran a Cat 951 L trackloader a lot too .
Amazing how times change! Back then, rubber tires were unreliable and tracks were cheap. Today everything is on rubber and I can’t afford a set of chains for the dozer. Times sure do change.
I guy I worked for 10 years ago still had a D8h with a 90 can cable operated. I had a blast running it and learned alot about those cable units sequence adjustments. Love the old iron.
Those are some great classic clips of your pop and uncle. Thank you for sharing! I worked in the Bucyrus Erie foundry as a young man on a construction gang. Very interesting place to see and work in. Whipple
I love hearing that man doing the narration. His voice brought back so many memories! Great old footage Jeff! And did you stop and think of all the memories you are memorializing for your boys with all of your video? 👍👍
When equipment was built so owner could make money not the manufacturer. We a TD 9 to play with. But still clear bush every winter with a 64 Caterpillar D7E. Thank you for the video eh.
Aww- My first love International Harvester, my yard art (AKA projects) include a 46 Adams Motor Grater w/ TD9 and a 43-44, OD Green T9 with Bucyrus BullGrader 6 way blade (hyd up only).
Love the videos Jeff but where's the drone footage?? ;-) lol... we had an old TD14A that I really miss running but my dad sold it about 15 years ago. I'm sure its still running. So is that the same dozer in the video that your brother has and uses to clean ditches and canals?
Long story coming up,maybe better kept short or scrubbed altogether,circa 1966 I was plug-draining (or mole ploughing)an 80 acre field in Bedfordshire with a little TD6.Around 3 A.M. I must have visited the wooden hill.On regaining my wits I realised my predicament-the whole rig had gone through the fence,down a 40' embankment and the mole was stuck fast under the up line of the Midland Railway.No amount of to and fro' would shift it.I got the drawbar pin out and shifted the tractor clear of the tracks,but the plough body was still stuck there in a more than dangerous position.What would you do? I think I am suffering from PTSD.Really love your posts!
Seeing the old I H TD 14 brought back memories. My father owned and operated those dozers as well as TD 25. I have owned two D8H dozers and 619 scrapers. Great times and memories. Thank you Jeff.
very interesting grill guard on the TD9? was there something in the tubes or just what they had to make a grill with back then. thanks keep up the good work
I would like to get a cat 40 to hook behind my D4 84J . Didnt know International had double drum units . I have a DW 10 use to shove it mostly with a D6 76A . Or a 10K , sometimes a D4 7u and a D4 83J have also pulled a cat 60 behind a D6 74A
Cool stuff Jeff! That was awesome! You were probably only about 30 when these videos were taken? 😜😆🤣 Thanks for the AWESOME video! Pretty neat old machines there!
I like the truck at 3:25. It looks like it is a modified chassis from a military CCKW, the real Deuce and a Half. It is a 6x6 with good articulation, but not a lot of speed. I think that these were first produced in 1941 by GMC. There is a Chevy version that is 4x4, but otherwise looks very similar. The Chevy had 6 louvers on the hood, while the GMC had 12.
Thanks for the video Jeff. The TD9 at the start looks to be pulling a Richardson's BG scraper with a Richardson's Hyd. unit strapped to the back of the TD. Is that correct? My dad had the very same outfit when i was young and i still have the BG scraper.
Good to see old equipment operating. Spent the winter of 66' / 67' pushing bush in Saskatchewan with a open station D-6. Took me until 88' to warm up.
Great balls of fire
Brought a tear to my eyes. Looked like back of my dads shop. I started on the same iron when I was about 14. 72 now hence the tear.
Same here... Thanks Jeff
Fantastic watching that old iron working.Dust and noise no cab and they still got it done. Many a man was made running machines like those.
Most operators now wouldn’t know how to start much less run those old. TD’s and cats . My first scraper was in a DW21 .. I learned really quickly what being gentle was on those cable cans after changing a few cables by my self ... and I’m a youngster at a young age of 44 ... I still want to find and restore one of those dw’s
They say it's hard to find new shives
Don't get an asshole in your cable unit

Jeff You have out done Your self...What a treat...I learned the ropes (cables) from that generation.What a tribute to them..
Jeff as a young man!! It is true, dirt does run through his veins 😎😁
Nice to see the old videos Jeff!!!
Thank you!!!
Glory days, when men were men and tractor seats gave you piles like grapes!
No hard hat, hi-viz, or OSHA, fantastic.
Just common sence.

Jeff you are lucky to have these films. Most got lost or thrown away. Treasure these memories 👍👍
WOW. Excellent production. Thanks.
Your Best Video By Far. Slide night was our favourite past time in our family, so can relate to the popcorn factor. Best wishes, Uncle.
Some cool footage. Amazing how much work got done and done right without computers and gps
Always have to appreciate the past...

now u done did it, making me feel that old watching this video. i got to run them old cable blades, plus the pans too. boy do i feel old now
Good afternoon Jeff, Thank you for the video and some excellent footage of old machinery working!!Take Care and catch you next time 👍😎🇬🇧.

That was great Jeff. No wonder you turned out like you did. You had some great influences.
I like these old machines, good videos.
Thank you for that little treat.
I'm glad that You took the time to put that together for us Jeff. Thanks for sharing. Best Wishes from Casper Wyoming.
Very cool, thanks for sharing.
Fantastic Jeff, thanks for digging this out to show us, it's awesome seeing old equipment like this operating.

That's the coolest video i've seen in a long time. Thanks for posting that.
Really cool Jeff, thanks for posting stuff like this.
Great stuff Jeff, thanks for posting. 🇬🇧
Really enjoyed a look at your familys archives thanks Bill from the uk
Old school . Tuff men in those days . Makes you appreciate what we have now .
They didn't them how to do it
That was cool Jeff thanks for sharing
From memory the silver side greyhound bus drivers wore a similar hat to the guy on the dozer. Great video bro. All the best
We're you conceived on the courting seat of a TD24 !!! Great movie .. don't ever see a Fowler crawler there in the US .
Love seeing the TD9. Just watch the hands while shifting, turning and running hydraulics. They knew how to operate back then...
Thanks for this old iron, I look but have not found this, very cool!
Love the old iron video just lost a great friend of 84 years young he would have loved this
Absolutely phenomenal Mr. Paydirt! Neat to see the old school stuff where it all started so to speak. The only thing I was waiting for at the end was a "Color by Technicolor" blurb like you'd see on old movies that were colorized. Glad you still have the memories, sir...
Well done Jeff, that was an awesome video. Nice tip of the hat to the ones that came before us.
Great work Jeff 👌🏻😎
wow... roll back my memories CAT doctor, I happen to operate one of the old machine out of this video, that is the scraper with smaller tiers in front made by Terex back then..in the 1955 i think.. I love this video my man .. thanks for shearing..
Love that old iron.
It would talk to you
Good stiff! I'm old enough to remember when that equipment was new. Hope you have digitized all of your Dad's 8mm film possible.
Hell yeaaa!!! HISTORY!!! Love it!! 🤘🤘
Looks like that cat skinning is in your blood ! 😊
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
The guy speaking is famous in these old videos.
Used to run a TD 15 Dozer 50,s to 60,s machine , gas start / Diesel engine , hand clutch , gear trans , hyd .
Worked good , l could move a lot of dirt in a day with it .
Built a few ponds with it .
Pretty simple to fix most things on it too .
Ran a Cat 951 L trackloader a lot too .
For it's size
That dozer was well balanced
Great clips except no Euclids! I cut my teeth on a 1952 bottom dump euc and it made me appreciate some of the newer technology used today.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
That's awesome footage. Your a lucky man to have footage of all that old equipment. Great video
Nice vintage video!
Amazing how times change! Back then, rubber tires were unreliable and tracks were cheap. Today everything is on rubber and I can’t afford a set of chains for the dozer. Times sure do change.
Great footage thanks for sharing
Thanks Jeff, that was badass!
I guy I worked for 10 years ago still had a D8h with a 90 can cable operated. I had a blast running it and learned alot about those cable units sequence adjustments. Love the old iron.
Seen a 8h with a 90 in sand unit had to be adjusted
Stylish old motorcycle.
You knew you would suck me in with the title! thanks for sharing
Those are some great classic clips of your pop and uncle. Thank you for sharing! I worked in the Bucyrus Erie foundry as a young man on a construction gang. Very interesting place to see and work in.
Whipple
Love this old footage. Just sold my old D7E about a year ago.
Hi horse
I really enjoyed that thank you . Have a good day.
I love the hats they’re wearing. That must come back 😂
The blue and white striped engineers hats are kind of sharp.
I could have sworn I saw a JPaydirt sticker on that TD18.
I love hearing that man doing the narration. His voice brought back so many memories! Great old footage Jeff! And did you stop and think of all the memories you are memorializing for your boys with all of your video? 👍👍
When equipment was built so owner could make money not the manufacturer. We a TD 9 to play with. But still clear bush every winter with a 64 Caterpillar D7E. Thank you for the video eh.
Jeff that was awesome 🇺🇸
Sweet memories!
Very cool!
My grandfather built roads with a grader and a team of draft horses. 8 or 10 horses
Aww- My first love International Harvester, my yard art (AKA projects) include a 46 Adams Motor Grater w/ TD9 and a 43-44, OD Green T9 with Bucyrus BullGrader 6 way blade (hyd up only).
I got a pic of daddy hooked to a cable on a dozer he's tied off on a backhoe doing a slope it was in 1952 he was 20 years old
That old Wabco at the end reminded me of one a local gravel company had here. It was a 222 with a Detroit.
Love the videos Jeff but where's the drone footage?? ;-) lol... we had an old TD14A that I really miss running but my dad sold it about 15 years ago. I'm sure its still running. So is that the same dozer in the video that your brother has and uses to clean ditches and canals?
My dad had a Allis chambers gas engine dozer but he always had a d7 or d 8 back in the day
What you need is with cigar and a uniform!
Never mind all the yellow and red stuff, nice GMC CCKW hauling an Army Air Force low boy semi trailer there
That was awesome 👍👍👍👍
A sneak peek for the 2021 models lol.
Good stuff
Love it Jeff. Very cool to see this old iron on film. Your dad was a youtuber before his time....you didn't like it off a stone 🤣👍
Wow really cool!!!!!

Thats a D7E 48A or 47A series there at 2:10 and a 3T series D7 at 3:38 . Nice film!
very interesting grill guard on the TD9? was there something in the tubes or just what they had to make a grill with back then. thanks keep up the good work

Cool stuff Jeff! That was awesome! You were probably only about 30 when these videos were taken? 😜😆🤣 Thanks for the AWESOME video! Pretty neat old machines there!
I was thinking Jeff's childhood videos 😎 but they didn't have talkies back then, so perhaps you are right... In his thirties 👍😁
@@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin Baaaaaa haaa ha ha!!! You just about made me spit my keystone out lol! "talkies" yeah, that sounds more like Jeff's era lol!
So TD24 vs D8 which one wins?
I like the truck at 3:25. It looks like it is a modified chassis from a military CCKW, the real Deuce and a Half. It is a 6x6 with good articulation, but not a lot of speed. I think that these were first produced in 1941 by GMC. There is a Chevy version that is 4x4, but otherwise looks very similar. The Chevy had 6 louvers on the hood, while the GMC had 12.
we still have the truck and it still runs
@@Jpaydirt I think that it should make an appearance in a video, whud-ya-say?
Thanks
Do you still have your Dad's Harley? That is some awesome family history.
Thanks for the video Jeff. The TD9 at the start looks to be pulling a Richardson's BG scraper with a Richardson's Hyd. unit strapped to the back of the TD. Is that correct? My dad had the very same outfit when i was young and i still have the BG scraper.
Where were the Richardson made
The small hydraulic scoop behind the international dozer at the beginning of the tape was a garwoood.
How much is in common between the old IH stuff and the Dresser stuff?
That's MUCK Shifting in its finest form.
It's going to get moved
where did you find that awesome music? i love it. P.s Fix the TD18. :)
