Yes, dual exhaust and has a V-8 gas engine. What the heck is up with that. Sorry about the low qual pic.
Bingo.
Looks to be a track loader, not a dozer. Also looks to be a "later model".
The TD9s that I am familiar, whether dozers or track loaders, with were four cylinder, gasoline start diesels with sheet metal not similar to that in the photo.
They did lots of work in their day.

Bingo, again, JM.
Handy friend of mine replaced the failed diesel engines in several pieces of industrial equipment with gasoline engines from cars or trucks.
In the early 1970s, I remember watching him excavate a site for his new house with a small JD track loader with 350 CI Chevy engine.
The JD diesel engine had failed and needed a new ($300!) crankshaft. He scrapped the JD engine and installed the 350 Chevy, which he found for nothing, to do his project.
Somehow he improvised a governor and it had a foot throttle override.
He needed to move the dirt 100'+ and found it more time effective to move it with the track loader than with his dump truck since the track loader could move nearly 20 MPH with the Chevy engine and governor override.
Fun to watch.
