Sir You are a rare one.The marks of an excellent top notch operator are checking the fluids before starting any equipment.1st class You are.Thank You Sir.Quality video.Well kept good running allis.care for it today so can use it tomorrow and the future.
was beaten into me from a young age to always check fluids before operating any machine. plus I need to look after the old girl as I can't afford to buy another one or have a major component failure just because a simple thing like checking oil and water wasn't done.👍🏼👍🏼
Mate. It looks a beast, it sound's like a beast. You just can't beat the sound's of an old dozer whether they're pushin' scrub, knockin' over tree's or just bladin'. Even the patina is great. Hit the switch and she fired up. What a work horse. An oldy but a goldy.
That looks like an HD16 with a stick clutch. Back in the late 70s I worked one pushing scrub stacking and burning for the first power line from Sippy Downs to Kawana back in the 70s. Great tractor. Honest, reliable and a hard worker. Fine memories for an old fella. Thanks for sharing.
“Sitting for four months” bloody hell mate, that’s a great machine you have there!! Started on the first cylinder to hit tdc and never missed a beat, under load, just a slight haze of black smoke, absolutely as she should be…… great to see her perform like this after all the heartache and kicks in the nuts that you have had …….brilliant 👍👍👍👍
the motor is the best part about her without a doubt, it was rebuilt a few years before I bought her and hadn't done a lot of work in that time. I was pretty impressed she came to life without winding over a few times myself.
Hi Rob thankyou for taking the time to take us along to see this beautiful old girl stretch her legs pushing soil around just the way she likes. I wouldn't like to get in her way that's for sure. I really appreciate your content and can't wait to see what's next. Take care boy's and cheers from Big Ben, from the Central Coast N.S.W 🤠🤝🇦🇺
Thanks Ben, it does take a bit to put these videos together but I do enjoy looking back over them and seeing what has been achieved. Its also nice to get comments from the likes of yourself that appreciate the videos👍🏼👍🏼thanks
she just keeps loading up, can push dirt that's for sure if only she had an angle and tilt blade but I have to be grateful for what I've got beats shovelling that's for sure 😉😂😂
That's my motto a bit at the moment. I get it done when I get to it, if I need to have a day off I take a day off. I couldn't do that when I was building and I suffered because of it.
Glad to see the Allis is still operating well.. They dont produce equipment that hardy or, reliable anymore. Old school mechanical, no electronic monitoring systems to fail. That machine could set for 10+ years, little either, and fresh batteries, she will run.. I'd love to visit Australia someday..
Yep top old machine the Allis low on a few creature comforts but with those come the electronics that end up being a nightmare for guys like me that don’t know enough to sort the issues that can happen. Australia still the lucky country but seems plenty of things trying to make it less so. 👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺
Great work Rob, it always helps having the right equipment for the job. she starts easy and runs out well! definitely an old beast, I have a much smaller D4 at our mountain property. Great work running the old girl too
I had considered buying a much smaller machine but I am glad I ended up going with the 21. I have some really big trees on my fence lines that anything smaller would never look at.
Wow, 4 months without starting one flick of the starter, and shes away without much smoke, and the blade still looks mostly shiny, Now that's some machine
I worked for a logger here in Oregon we used a 21 to build rds and 2 HD 16's with winches and mounted arches to pull logs with,very tough crawlers.Great vid,best of luck to ya..
Your son is doing an excellent job with the camera. Maybe a naughty boy at school lol but really we don’t wear the shoes of our sons or daughters and nor do they know their destinations in the life journeys we take. I think history has repeated itself over the life of man on earth. I look at my two girls and I thought doom and gloom when they around 17 or 18 but one decide to attend uni at 21 to do a dentistry course and the other is now a schoolteacher. Wow! such is life.
Thanks Gary that is a lovely comment. I am not too concerned about the behaviour at school, I know they are good boys and can work hard when they need to. I just see myself in them way to much and I wish for an easier run for them is all. Our education system just seems to let boys disengage and never gets them back.
lots of us do, it's part of the reason I started my channel, I was watching a fair bit of UA-cam while I was laid up in hospital for a bit and thought hmm that's something I could do. 👍🏼🇦🇺
Good to see Allis "Gliding along on its magic carpet made of steel", to plunder the words of a Willie Nelson song. Might be an idea to streamline the creek for about 20 30 yards either side of the crossing, by flattening the creek bed it reduces turbulence which in turn reduces scouring, just a thought. Keep up the vids, Rob always interesting, loved the shadow selfies at the beginning!!
I have to be a little careful what I do over those couple of creek crossings as it is actually government land, it’s a gazetted access through another property, but I hear you I’m going to take the laser level and make it level the full width of the crossing.
I travelled to. An ancient placer claim in the Yukon where Sat an old allis of the same vintage, looked like it had grown into the ground years ago, I came back from a trip to Whitehorse & the owners had come & retrieved it, apparently just needed batteries & coolant & away it went. I’m an old time dirt mover & I thought that old scorpion was toast. Boy was I shocked. Those old miners can make a dinosaur purr!
@@mountainblokemoments ha ha yeah, the history of the country is as rich as the natural beauty. The mined out areas look like battlefields or gravel pits, other than that… oh walking out of the bar in Dawson City at 2 AM with 😎 sunglasses on is a bit strange, but so is drinking whiskey out of a glass with a pickled human toe in it is just as strange.
Rob, as we all know ,we are all experts, but for my 20 cents worth ,the first dozing at about 11 mins, there looked like no rock or gravel in the soil there but on other side of creek there was. Mate, expert here(haha) use little digger and take rock/ gravel out of creek and spread it on 1st side and compact with dozer and with some grass and yes weeds they will help hold the track together.I had to do my 30 yard creek crossing and in the last lot of floods on NSW mid North Coast I didnt have to repair my crossing. And on fuel usage , neighbour has D8K I think and boy it sounds good but worked ou it uses about 60 to 70 litres an hour just walking it to a particular job he had up my way. Man $150 bucks just to walk it . Tracks to tight for floating. Keep up the good work .
thanks Scott, I can't go to crazy on that creek crossing as it is a public access road to my property but I'm hearing you i'm going to take the laser level out next time and level the road most of the way across so that it doesn't just run over one section and tear it out.
Glad to see you and the old gal still working. My 16 broke its crank and its fate is yet undecided, but i still have the HD20 so no hurry i suppose. Cheers
ahh that's no good re the 16 hopefully you will find some time, money and motivation to fix her up seems like those 3 things rarely come together at the same time.👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺
I"m open to constructive criticism the UA-cam analytics not so much, would you believe I bought a wireless mike the other day that was supposed to be plug and play but I can't figure the bloody thing out. I will have to take it back to town and see what it is i'm doing wrong. Thanks for the well wishes👍🏼👍🏼
Maybe try cleaning the suction strainer on the steering hydraulic circuit too? Have been chasing a reoccurring steering issue with my Allis for a while... finally discovered the cause, pin hole leak in the steel suction line to the transmission pickup. I guess sitting its whole life out in the weather eventually takes its toll. Maybe check if your hydraulic oil is foaming up after a while too to see if its sucking air.
Thanks Wes, I have had issues with the steering clutches/brakes on the Allis, cleaned prescreens replaced filters and changed oils. I need to do a few hours on her and drop the oils again to see what is going on.
May God almighty bless the Australian people. Tough,kind beautiful people. We are going to be neighbors soon. 777 Seven Nations,Seven Kings,Seven Kingdoms. God is in control. Love that Allis. She is a great machine.
Well that old dozer did a pretty good job . Your probably right, change those filters and it will probably work a lot better . I will see you all later, so take care and stay safe out there . 🤗👍💖😘
That’s Allis charmer HD 16 Direct start well be for Caterpillar did .Manual 4 or 5 speed gear box . Torque converter But also power shift model to I operator one in 1970 on power transmission lines in NSW.
The Allis is a HD 21 3 speed and yes the 21’s came in a power shift as well. Seems like the 16’s where the best utility crawler not as heavy as the 21 so easier to move to other jobs. These days the 21 needs a quad float and dolly to be moved
I bought a set of old chains with better grouser plates. I just have to get around to picking them up, 3 tonne a side mind you and 800kms away. The grouser plates where in okay nick but I had a little incident in the creek with a lot of rock and broke three of them🤷which makes the Allis look a bit raggedy
13.8litres Allis 21000 series engine. rippers are strange a very old design. Canopy is to keep the falling tree branches off the operator and other delicate bits of the machine.👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺
I don't know which of us was the most surprised when it had hardly rolled over and was running.. a testament to older fuel being much kinder to the pumps. Never get rid of it just cause of no use for the moment, it will run long after these tree huggers battery rigs... cost of one of those can buy some really expensive fuel and not send you to the poor house
definitely surprised me I thought she would wind over a couple times before firing that's for sure. the allis is a great old tractor that's for sure she is missing some of the modern day creature comforts for the operator but we still get the job done.
G'day mate good job We can't believe how easy Alice started after so long Q did you have a solar panel sitting on the battery ? Since getting home after just 4 weeks 1 battery has died and another 1is thinking of dieing I'm thinking they get addicted to the trickle charger and when they go without they possibly give up+being freezing down here doesn't help Once again good job mate 👌
Hey Tom, how was the trip? I tried trickle chargers a few years ago and wasn't impressed, so no the Allis doesn't have a trickle charger just fires up without draining the battery too much. I think 24volt system and good batteries make a difference. The same can't be said for any of the 12 volt gear I have they always seem to have flat batteries or not enough juice to wind over to get them started.
@@mountainblokemoments yep mate my thoughts exactly 👍 I'm always putting the trickle charger on the batteries and seems to keep them going until you stop doing it Seems they get addicted to it I could be wrong mate 🤔
Great utilitarian looking work horse. And you wont ever have to ring the manufacturer to got some 20+ year old to plug in his diagnostic piece of chit to sort out ANY problem. KISS should be the name of the game.
the boom thingy is a "tree spear" we need them in Australia to deal with our hard wood trees it provides extra height so greater leverage when pushing trees.
would be super interesting watching some tree getting pushed over with the old girl. the water crossing might be able to be botched with some logs stacked 3 or 4 high with some smaller stuff on top to let the water pass thru depending on if its only a minor water crossing and not a stupidly major water crossing that would wash the *ahem* "bridge" away. and give us folks here a look at the old girl flattening some tree for aforementioned "bridge"
I have some footage on previous videos of the Allis pushing a few trees over. Lots more fenceline to clear with her yet so plenty more trees to push. The water that comes out of the mountains after a heavy down pour is pretty spectacular so although its a seasonal creek the runs in it can be quite extreme.👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺
I say that ole girl still strong may I suggest a idea on that rusty roof go get mobile home or white roofing paint and paint the roof to reflect the sunlight off and stay a little cooler and even the girl need a little yellow make-up I know she a "working girl but should be nice
the allis could do with a little love on the "makeup" side of things that's for sure. one day I will get to it but it is definitely no a priority at the moment.
What is she a DP, the nose cone looks like a DP but the rippers look DC or AC even and she is a clutch machine. I have two 16 DPs both are power shift, they no longer work as both have warn out the track gear and you can no longer buy that size tracks you have to convert them all to a D7 or similar size gear, big job and hardly worth it. Put batteries in them prime up the fuel and both start up with little winding though, they were great machines in their day, the best engines ever in an Allis 16DP.
The Allis is a HD21-A only a couple numbers off before they went to the B’s so has the turbo 2100 series engine, torque converter that is oil cooled. Still has the slow low pressure hydraulic pump up the front though. I’m not a diesel fitters bootlace though as you will see if you have a look at a few of my other videos with the Allis. She is a great old tractor👍🏼👍🏼
@@mountainblokemoments Goodo, we had when I was a kid a 16 AC, 16DCs, 16DPs and a 16B, the Bs problem was the final drives kept doing them. Hydraulics were great and the engine had a lot more power been turbo, but unfortunately they did not update the final drives to suit. Later on we had 21Cs which were a great dozer but the engines were probably a little small for the machine. Have thought about doing up the old 16DPs I have, but tracks are a problem and would cost a lot, they were great machines though for their day.
@@dalane5196 My old man has a couple old 16's out at Mitchell I think he has one that they upgraded the drive sprocket and chain to Komatsu running gear
@@mountainblokemoments Yeah think you can either go Cat or Komatsu size, you need to do sprockets, chains rollers and idler I believe. Was talking to Brandon at Allis Dozer Tamworth about the process a while back, its certainly doable just whether its worth the effort I guess.
@@chrisstaylor8377 shows the changes over the years cheapest I worked was $4.50 an hour in the late 80s, but machines where still under $100,000 now you need to add another zero to the machine cost and move the decimal point on the hourly rate for operators
@@mountainblokemoments finished 5 years ago M16 grader , and dozers and scoops ,had been retired for a while so just summer work , started on dozers snowy mountain scheme talbingo 1968 ,D9Gs
@@chrisstaylor8377 wow mate you would have seen some changes in your time, no surveyors with cut and fill flags running around on jobs anymore. D9G the dozer that made CAT what it is I reckon. You would have been lucky to have a ROPS let alone an aircon cab. operators now want to park up if the radio doesn't work and don't even think of starting if the zircons on the blink.
Like i said not tilt no angle just a straight bull blade makes shaping the road almost impossible. The 766 inter has a grader blade that i can shape the road with a bit but the inter is down with an issue at the moment as well🤷
A few old wrecks laying around if you know where to look and we have one supplier in Australia that specialises in Allis charmers stuff. They are very good to deal with and seem to be able to source most things for the 21
I’d like one just like it. That’s a dirt moving machine! Check out my channel where I use old iron to push mud and dirt around and do sawmill stuff. Just subscribed!
Well that old dozer did a pretty good job . Your probably right, change those filters and it will probably work a lot better . I will see you all later, so take care and stay safe out there . 🤗👍💖😘
She's a loyal old beast, that Allis. The scrub canopy and tree spear make her an impressive sight. All the best to you and yours, Rob
probably make the allis twice as big as she actually is. I don't know how they drove them in the old days with no canopy.
Fantastic machine! Love seeing the older, more mature equipment being used and operable. Thanks!!
Glad you enjoyed it. lots of folks have a soft spot for the old Iron
Sir You are a rare one.The marks of an excellent top notch operator are checking the fluids before starting any equipment.1st class You are.Thank You Sir.Quality video.Well kept good running allis.care for it today so can use it tomorrow and the future.

yep hopefully I can get a few years out of her. just a matter of getting the time to sit in the seat oh and the money to buy diesel for her 💸💸

Hey mate the Allis is a HD 21-A. Glad my channel could give you a little trip down memory lane.👍🏼👍🏼
When running well and in the right conditions ,boy that old dozer still has the potential to move a massive amount of soil 👌👍
Did a dam with her last year and was impressed with how much dirt we could move in a day, even with the manual gear change
To be an Allis Chalmers it had to over achieve
“Sitting for four months” bloody hell mate, that’s a great machine you have there!! Started on the first cylinder to hit tdc and never missed a beat, under load, just a slight haze of black smoke, absolutely as she should be…… great to see her perform like this after all the heartache and kicks in the nuts that you have had …….brilliant 👍👍👍👍

She wants to push love the front mag idlers cheers mate keep pushing she is a champion
not sure why the idlers are a spoke design. the other 21 that I know of has solid idler wheels.

About a Cat D9 or 10 size and that extra plate on the blade i believe was for dozers pushing the old scrapers. still beast though
closer to a D8 than those bigger cats, I think when D9's came along that is when caterpillar really started to dominate the dozer game.

The grouser plates where in okay nick but I had a little incident in the creek with a lot of rock and broke three of them🤷which makes the Allis look a bit raggedy
You both look good. God bless
Thanks so much
how much water do you have layin around on yr block rob ?good to see you back in the seat of the allis hope it works out for you cheers bud
Still very wet we had another 30 odd mm last week so topped the moisture content back up again.
I can fiddle "Swinging on the Gate" on my violin if you want
You reckon I need more theme/background music? You wouldn’t hear the birds and the machines if i did that.
No music needed
Hello BMM. That's the oddest ripper I have ever seen, and the canopy. Is it hot there buddy? Best regards. 😎 PS What's the engine in there?
13.8litres Allis 21000 series engine. rippers are strange a very old design. Canopy is to keep the falling tree branches off the operator and other delicate bits of the machine.👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺
That is one odd looking machine, looks and sounds powerful that’s for sure.
not sure why it is odd looking plenty of dozers in Australia setup pretty much exactly the same. thanks for the comment👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺
she might be old but the Allis sure likes to push
Great machine for pushing dirt👍🏼👍🏼
That canopy makes it an indoor bulldozer.
Maybe if she had an aircon cab as well. Operating her feels pretty outdoorsy with the dust and noise as company.
She’s a Beast 👌🏽👌🏽
she certainly is👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺
Hiya Rob and Kell
I don't know which of us was the most surprised when it had hardly rolled over and was running.. a testament to older fuel being much kinder to the pumps. Never get rid of it just cause of no use for the moment, it will run long after these tree huggers battery rigs... cost of one of those can buy some really expensive fuel and not send you to the poor house
definitely surprised me I thought she would wind over a couple times before firing that's for sure. the allis is a great old tractor that's for sure she is missing some of the modern day creature comforts for the operator but we still get the job done.
How good's that!!!
Exactly👍🏼😂
Too bad the camera wasn’t pointing at the working end. Awesome machine!
Sorry about that, maybe next time
G'day mate good job
We can't believe how easy Alice started after so long
Q did you have a solar panel sitting on the battery ? Since getting home after just 4 weeks 1 battery has died and another 1is thinking of dieing
I'm thinking they get addicted to the trickle charger and when they go without they possibly give up+being freezing down here doesn't help
Once again good job mate 👌
Hey Tom, how was the trip? I tried trickle chargers a few years ago and wasn't impressed, so no the Allis doesn't have a trickle charger just fires up without draining the battery too much. I think 24volt system and good batteries make a difference. The same can't be said for any of the 12 volt gear I have they always seem to have flat batteries or not enough juice to wind over to get them started.
@@mountainblokemoments yep mate my thoughts exactly 👍 I'm always putting the trickle charger on the batteries and seems to keep them going until you stop doing it
Seems they get addicted to it
I could be wrong mate 🤔
Great utilitarian looking work horse.
And you wont ever have to ring the manufacturer to got some 20+ year old to plug in his diagnostic piece of chit to sort out ANY problem.
KISS should be the name of the game.
seems they keep making gear more and more complicated who knows why maybe they all have an interest in selling computer chips🤷🏻
Holy smokes what powerhouse of a machine she rocks , Whats the boom thingy sticking out on top the blade if ya dont mind , Great vid !
the boom thingy is a "tree spear" we need them in Australia to deal with our hard wood trees it provides extra height so greater leverage when pushing trees.
@@mountainblokemoments , Roger that thank you for the reply .
good ol Allis still gettner done! what mode and year is she?
The Allis is a HD21-A I think the year is 1968 she is the last of the 21-A's
would be super interesting watching some tree getting pushed over with the old girl.
the water crossing might be able to be botched with some logs stacked 3 or 4 high with some smaller stuff on top to let the water pass thru depending on if its only a minor water crossing and not a stupidly major water crossing that would wash the *ahem* "bridge" away. and give us folks here a look at the old girl flattening some tree for aforementioned "bridge"
I have some footage on previous videos of the Allis pushing a few trees over. Lots more fenceline to clear with her yet so plenty more trees to push. The water that comes out of the mountains after a heavy down pour is pretty spectacular so although its a seasonal creek the runs in it can be quite extreme.👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺
Allis clallmers power💪👍👏❤️🇺🇸
power😉😂😂
I say that ole girl still strong may I suggest a idea on that rusty roof go get mobile home or white roofing paint and paint the roof to reflect the sunlight off and stay a little cooler and even the girl need a little yellow make-up I know she a "working girl but should be nice
the allis could do with a little love on the "makeup" side of things that's for sure. one day I will get to it but it is definitely no a priority at the moment.
I am curious as to what size is this Allis Chalmer, I once had an HD 11 B Allis it was a strong machine
HD 21-A 270hp weighs about 36tonne
What is the Allis in size to a similar Cat?, By the way it sounds great.
about a D8 size. 270 odd hp, the torque converter is what puts her ahead of the caterpillars of the same vintage imo
What is she a DP, the nose cone looks like a DP but the rippers look DC or AC even and she is a clutch machine. I have two 16 DPs both are power shift, they no longer work as both have warn out the track gear and you can no longer buy that size tracks you have to convert them all to a D7 or similar size gear, big job and hardly worth it. Put batteries in them prime up the fuel and both start up with little winding though, they were great machines in their day, the best engines ever in an Allis 16DP.
The Allis is a HD21-A only a couple numbers off before they went to the B’s so has the turbo 2100 series engine, torque converter that is oil cooled. Still has the slow low pressure hydraulic pump up the front though. I’m not a diesel fitters bootlace though as you will see if you have a look at a few of my other videos with the Allis. She is a great old tractor👍🏼👍🏼
@@mountainblokemoments Goodo, we had when I was a kid a 16 AC, 16DCs, 16DPs and a 16B, the Bs problem was the final drives kept doing them. Hydraulics were great and the engine had a lot more power been turbo, but unfortunately they did not update the final drives to suit. Later on we had 21Cs which were a great dozer but the engines were probably a little small for the machine. Have thought about doing up the old 16DPs I have, but tracks are a problem and would cost a lot, they were great machines though for their day.
@@dalane5196 My old man has a couple old 16's out at Mitchell I think he has one that they upgraded the drive sprocket and chain to Komatsu running gear
@@mountainblokemoments Yeah think you can either go Cat or Komatsu size, you need to do sprockets, chains rollers and idler I believe. Was talking to Brandon at Allis Dozer Tamworth about the process a while back, its certainly doable just whether its worth the effort I guess.
Drove a HD16 for Oberon contractors doing land clearing 1969

@@mountainblokemoments $2 an hour ,
@@chrisstaylor8377 shows the changes over the years cheapest I worked was $4.50 an hour in the late 80s, but machines where still under $100,000 now you need to add another zero to the machine cost and move the decimal point on the hourly rate for operators

@@chrisstaylor8377 wow mate you would have seen some changes in your time, no surveyors with cut and fill flags running around on jobs anymore.
D9G the dozer that made CAT what it is I reckon. You would have been lucky to have a ROPS let alone an aircon cab. operators now want to park up if the radio doesn't work and don't even think of starting if the zircons on the blink.
Like no vídeo 🙂👍
Glad you did, thanks for the comment 👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺
Gotta love the ole iron roar to life, plus if you listen very very closely you can hear a group of climate change protesters screech in the distance.
could be climate activist or the turbo whistle😂😂👍🏼🇦🇺
The turbo whistle is successful turning said tears into raw power
little helper !
Always going to be my “little” helpers even when they get bigger than me.
A Crown on the road
Like i said not tilt no angle just a straight bull blade makes shaping the road almost impossible. The 766 inter has a grader blade that i can shape the road with a bit but the inter is down with an issue at the moment as well🤷
I'm surprised you can parts if it breaks
A few old wrecks laying around if you know where to look and we have one supplier in Australia that specialises in Allis charmers stuff. They are very good to deal with and seem to be able to source most things for the 21
Fantastic machine, you didn't by some chance borrow it from the set of Mad Max 😂
could have come off a mad max set hey? your not the first to ask that question. maybe next time they do a fury road the Allis could get a cameo😉😂
Need to fix steering clutch its not releasing
seems to come good once she warms up a bit. I'm sure there is adjustment that can be done but not game to open her up at the moment.👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺
Is that an HD 21?
it certainly is HD 21-A
Always best to push down hill.
weight of the machine is helping when you push down hill👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺
Would have been nice to watch you pushing the dirt, i.e. stand in front when filming a push!
will keep it in mind for next time👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺
I have no idea where you are but around here you can't push fill into a waterway
Jpaydirt does it all the time...so it must be fine. I didn't see any fill in the creek just moving existing material around to make easier access👍🏼👍🏼
I’d like one just like it. That’s a dirt moving machine! Check out my channel where I use old iron to push mud and dirt around and do sawmill stuff.
Just subscribed!
will do mate thanks for subscribing.👍🏼👍🏼
Alice the old girl, she sure can push a lot of dirt! She is a beast for sure!
She just keeps loading up, they would have been a hell of a tractor in their day such a shame they couldn’t stay in the game.
Well that old dozer did a pretty good job . Your probably right, change those filters and it will probably work a lot better . I will see you all later, so take care and stay safe out there .
🤗👍💖😘
Thanks 👍
