I' m thinking about buying this dozer, the man told me that it
was a Bucris Erie ( misspelled) but. I think it is an
International, maybe a TD 6 or something. It has an
Intternational engine that is stuck. Tracks are very good, as
with all it was running when parked. What would it be worth?
Thanks, steve

This might make it easier for others to see. I don't know much about IH or Allis-Chalmers for that matter, but it looks complete, I like the relatively clean B/E blade on it, nice data plate etc. Pads look nice, like almost new kinda nice, can't tell about the chain links or rails. Its been there awhile given the tree, you wonder why it was parked. Aside from the one bent flange on the blade, it looks like it has not seen a lot of work, or so we all like to think at first glance, you won't know until you get into it.

scrap value (7800 pounds), and then deduct what it would cost to haul it to the recycler and that would be the final price.
 
Dang! I was so proud of myself for even getting the pics on at all. Could someone please tell me how I managed to get them upside down? When I reviewed the ad it hey were right side up. Help! Steve
 
Looks like IH to me. Looks close to T6/TD6(the blade arms and tree get in way for good look. If you have access to it IH T6/TD6(for sure)should have serial tag by the pedals on the firewall(our T6 is left side TD6 is right side). Judging by the trees growing around it ,it sat for a long time. It will need a lot of help. I'm going to say, guess is a better word, $1200 would be a top- top price. If you can get it for less more power to you. In spring my brother paid $1200 for TD6. Was first as parts for the T6 we had, now decided we need to find time and money to get running again .The engine was pulled apart (but still loose), no loader/blade, good under carriage, and PTO. This one has a blade that helps add some value(if not more weight for scrap): making it close.
 
$500.00 is all I would pay . You have to cut the tree down , have a trailer and some kind of tractor to push on trailer , blocking wheels as loading on trailer , unloading at delivery site , I have chained tractor to tree and pull trailer forward to unload . What I am saying , a dead tractor incurs a lot of time . You may have to rebuild diesel engine , it does start with a pony engine with gasoline . Lot of work . International built the tractor and Bucyrus Erie made the blade and Hyds . IH built tough tractors back then .
 
Billy Did you really look at the undercarriage. pads bolted to pads. In my day don,t think I have ever seen anything like that. The front idlers if he could sell them are worth six hundred each if they are good. Rails don,t look that bad either. Sure would not fancy trying to get it running.
 


IH had gas start diesel same engine, no pony. The tracks and steering mech. add a lot of weight and parts. More weight more for scrap, more parts more money can get out from stripping. Then on the other end more parts more work to get working. So $500 might be on low end for crawler in my opinion, unless in worse shape than this one (missing lots of parts, completely rusted out).

If you can find a buyer willing to pay that price for parts , I always have a bad time , don't sell very well .
 
I am not saying if the seller says $200 its yours it won't be going home with me, but $500 would feel like the "honest" price. Then on the other end if I wanted it bad enough seller says 1300-1400 and can't talk them down to the $1200 I still might think about it. Its just a range situations very that change price. Just putting it out there
 
I saw that, forgot to mention it, and if you look at the other photo showing the pads, there are no bolts in the center of the pads, but the additional piece involved here is bolted to the track chain. So if the pads only have 2 bolts, the rest is fastened with bolts, then is it some sort of quick change pads, some kind of conversion, IH specific ? It looks like someone put single bar grouser pads over some sort of street pad minus the hard rubber or something.

Tough call, but if the undercarriage is reasonable, and finals are ok, one would think it would be worth the effort to deal with the motor. Don't know whats available for those, gas over diesel arrangement IH ?

I see the chrome on the hydraulic cylinders does not appear to be rusted, that's a small plus.

I love the Bucyrus-Erie hydraulic dozer kit on it, B-E was something back in the day. They had an angle dozer too I believe, heavily built.

One thing is for sure there some extra iron on it beyond the bare tractor.
 
I haven't ever seen track pads bolted to pads before either. Wonder if it was a military thing where they could remove the grouser pads and bolt on rubber pads. Another thing, the pads are only held on with two bolts, the standard holes are empty.
Also, it might be an IH TD9 because it has two top rollers, most TD6's had one unless it had extended frames. Standard TD6 had four bottom rollers, extended frame had five.
S/N plate should be on fire wall ahead of left brake pedal., if it still exists.
Keep us posted.
 
I would say it is a TD9 because of the two top idlers. I have never seen that type of pad bolt on but the tracks look good. Just the tracks are worth a lot of money because none are available new or used. Still I would not want to pay more than $500 because of the difficulty of moving and loading. If owner offers to help it might be worth more.
 
Great pictures but possibly taken with an iphone. My daughter takes pictures with her iphone and when she sends them to me they always come in upside down on my PC whereas when she sends them to my wife who uses either her ipad or Mac computer they come in right side up. I just consider it as Apple thumbing their noses at PC users. LOL
 
Pictures came right side up for me. You are going to spend lots of money and work hard to get this 9 going. Way ahead to get one operating, and buy this one for the tracks and dozer.
 
jm-googled IH crawler tractors (images) and found several pictures (including IH brochures) of this style mounting used on a range of these tractors. Doesn't explain why-(rubber street pads/caulked ice pads?), but does suggest it may be somewhat common? Perhaps KOO could provide some insight?? Interesting question, my $.02.
