I'm just over the hill from you in the Crystal Valley. You should be able to sell that machine.

Does the engine run?

Based on the one photo you have, I would be willing to bet that at least some of the track components are salvageable, if not all. When you say “HDI”, what are you referring to? My guess is someone drove it to that parking spot, and there it sat for an extended period of time, facing the southern hemisphere where the sun took its toll on the paint.

his HDI is heavy duty industrial i think. looks like a late model 1200 'A'. what year is the D4 in the background? is it for sale also?

Yes, you are right about the Heavy Duty Industrial. The D4 is a 1956, The engine is great, the pony motor also great. The tracks are good. Needs work on the sprockets on the main drive. This dozer still runs. It is also for sale asking $4K

Yea, the tracks are probably somewhat salvageable. This snow cat has been a part of our ranch for a long time. We trammed it to this spot a couple years ago. Went through the carburetor and cleaned all the fuel lines with aviation fuel. Runs great. Yes it is at the shop which is on the south side.
