Can I get some help iding this dozer. I'm interested in purchasing it but the tag is missing from the dash. My best guess is mid to late 50s D9? Any help with identifying this and any restoration parts website would be a great help.

Welcome. If you attached pictures, they don't show. For the most part new users have to have more than 5 posts on record before they can post pictures. It is one of the site safeguards to limit spammers. You can go down to the Site Comments Forum and ask YT Support to allow you to post pictures three with less than the 5 posts.
 
The serie number for D9 should be on rear the starting engine and on rear housing left side and
these should be SERIE 18A or 19A and you could check with ACMOC ANTIQUE CATERPILLAR DOZER
 

You can try making several posts, trying to pictures, down in the Test Forum. If that works you will see them when they post. If they are too large they won't be accepted either.

If it is a CAT you should check out this site: https://www.acmoc.org
 

It's an international harvester, from what I have found of pictures it looks to be a TD9 with a drott loader.

Two more post then I can add a picture
 

Can search Maine's Craigslist for dozers located in Biddeford. My apologies I know this is getting redundant I'm just trying to get the post count up so that I can actually add a picture
 
Lots of difference in a D9 cat and TD 9 ih. The drott loader on an old td 9 was tough to get down in
Start by telling us if it is a 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder that will help narrow it down. .Something
that old can be a real money pit.
 

Sorry the original post was a typo of D9, it should have read TD9. It is a 4-cylinder gasoline and diesel engine. It does not have the pony motor that has gas but actual spark plugs in the same block and head as the diesel engine.

The tins all say International Harvester on it so I have no doubt that that's what it is as far as manufacturer, my question more is motor size and years of that I can try to source and price out parts. The Dozer has been sitting for 2 years and I was able to get it cranked over tonight but did not want to start messing with the gasoline engine portion without having a deal completed with the seller. I did not want to do the work or somebody else if I was not going to be able to close out a deal or Source parts

Is there any other locations for the serial number, someone has removed the tag. Or is there a stamped casting number anywhere, the tag on the starter, and loader arm are unreadable.

Sean,
Visit the REDPOWER FORUMS IH discussion site. There is a section for Crawlers,etc,plus an engines section.


Also,there is some nice YouTube videos of old TD 6 & 9 Loaders working back in the day.
 

what types are parts do you have? I know I have to rebuild the starter first. I pulled it off and the brass contact for the switch is very worn and the bendix gear is worn.
 
TD-9 used the same engine as the WD-9 tractor did,, they are known for breaking heads when started and or shut down wrong,, they start on gas, when warmed up you switch them to dsl,, for cool down its best to switch them back to gas after you idle the dsl for 5 to 10 min,, then switch to gas and turn of the gas line valve and let them run until they are out of gas,, been around them for many decades and have a neighbor who ran them since the 50's , I bought a TD-9 from a neighbor and resold it a few years back,, they are also known for the steering clutches to stick from sitting, not bad machines in their day,
cnt
 
NO on shut down you do NOT want to go back to GAS as you are defeating the cool down . You allow them to COOL WAY DOWN ON THE DIESEL side and just shut them down . And the other NO NO is stalling one and not being able to get it fired back up FAST . Been running and working on them for many years so i do have a lot of working knowledge on them.
 
I have ran them also since the mid 60's running on gas is much cooler than on dsl I only brought up my friend as his Dad was a mechanic at the ih dealership when they were introduced,, but listen I could care less if you break them doing it your way,, I have changed way to many of those pile of junk heads in the last 50 years because of improper shut down to count,, every time I explained the correct way to do it ZERO more crackage,, but feel free to do it however you chose to,, I was working on them when they were still in use and not just a collector piece so I might just have a clue,, but again not the first time I have been told I was wrong,, really do not give a poo either way
 
Welp i also worked on them from the time i was 15 , When i got my drivers license i was presented a brand new F350 Ford cab and chassis to witch my boss the one old welder and i built the bed for it as back in the day you did not run out and buy a service body , I had a 250 PTO driven Hobart welder and huge twin cylinder gardener Denver PTO driven air compressor that could run two 90 pound hammers or my impacts the 100 ton porta power and the air driven fuel and oil and grease pumps and if it was in the Mac tool catalog and the OTC book it was on the truck , not only did i RUN the equipment but also did field repair . And yes contray to your belief they do get HOT on the gas side and if you doubt me heres what ya do , Cool it down on diesel till she is showen COLD on the temp gauge then feel the exhaust manifold , then go ahead and make your switch back to the gas side and let it run for a bit then grab the exhaust manifold , Let me know how that works out for you . The company had more then a 100 pieces of I H powered gas start switch to diesel , all the gallion graders had either the T D 9 or the TD 18 engines , The dozers started at the TD 9 all the way up to the T D 24's and were being phased out for newer . I farmed with a M D and a 450D , my close friend had the same and i worked on both of them . After the service i was asked to go to work for RISH equipment as a field tech on I H equipment because the owner of the company i worked for as a kid sent me off to school on the Cat's and I H' . The main reason i did not take the job was because i was having more fun working on MOPARS and making them go faster . At the time i was one of only two certified on the Hemi and 440 six pack then the 340 six pac . Then a large Ford dealer wanted me to take over the drag program and waved big bucks in my face to do so. Then they found out i could work on diesels . But yes i know I H diesels and I H tractors inside and out to the point i can tell you what tools ya need for the job at hand . I also have a ton of I H special service tools . My old 450 D is still in the neighborhood and still has the same head on it , it still runs fine and it has been out of my hands now since 1974 , now it has had the injection pump gone thru twice i had to go rewire it due to a small fire . BUT they start and shut it down the way i told them .
