Good to see the dozer running again after all those decades lost deep in a swamp! Salute to all involved finding, recovering and restoring this legendary machine! I think there are the makings of a movie here with some interesting characters, throw in a ghost and a family mystery revealed!
I'm a John Deere guy. This IH is really effing cool!! Love the patina!! Looks like the D7s I'm familiar with when I was an Army Engineer! Yes, I saw the first "recovery" video. Wow! It purrs like a kitten! Great to see it running! When I saw it pulled from the swamp I honestly thought it was gonna be parted out! Fantastic work, you guys!! Special thanks to donators and volunteers!!
In Perham? Oh shoot, I knew this... That UD-24 (1025 cubic inches) engine runs great! You guys knocked it out of the park! Glad to have found this again. Have fun in Rollag!
Sounds like it runs pretty good. Been wondering how the progress was going. I don't get to go over to your show because I'm working at Finn Creek that same weekend.
Just curious why you didn’t load it with the blade to the rear up over the trailer axles? It would seem safer for both seeing the rear of the trailer and the blade would be up out of traffic as well as transferring it’s weight more to the rear
This is my all time favorite machine rescue! So impressive!!

I was a heavy equipment operator in the Seabees 78-83. We had TD 9s, TD 20s and a few TD 25s. But luckily they weren't cable machines.
I too was a Seabee, MNCB 133. Can Do Seabee.

my buddy had one of them I was in awe of it what a monster.

Did you guys replace the engine or rebuild it?
Long time I've bin wanting to see an up date ,
Where's the video for the time between these two?
That is so cool great job!
I can't believe you did't have to do 100% tear down. Steering clutches were ok ?
What year is this thing?
super
