All about my 1953 international big dozer

[TrickGnomeTechnician]

thats the big pig that jen used to ride around on

[42old4u]

I ran a smaller one, (TD18?) that worked the same way, back in 1958, at a rock quarry. A real nice piece of equipment.

[WickedArtist1]

ive asked him to repaint last year i think it would honestly be a good video series

[xlxshanexlx]

wow! that thing is awesome! good ole American quality, it lives after so many years.

[hudsonjamesc]

you should sandblast it and then paint it

[jimbo10003]

thats a quality vid there i enjoyed watching it glad too see you back on the tube!

[AlcoRS3m]

I'd love an old dozer... I have no use for it, but I still want one to drive around on occasion and just look kinda evil sitting in the woods.

[longbeachdirtbag]

It's awesome that something that old is being kept alive and out of a scrap yard.

[Rewardedgamer]

urghh you dont say the s on Illinois

[Jacob1986]

how does it turn? My guess is there are controls for each of the sides?

[MrTimb56]

hey dave Farmall made a MD rubber tired farm tractor............ which was a M Farm Tractor that starts the same way as your dozer about the same time frame has your dozer

[pshhhhhhBOOM]

Scrap price on thats about 5 grand....mmmmmm

[ChristopherGuilday]

Push to start.

[ChristopherGuilday]

Push to start.

[ramtuff2007]

awesome buldozer

[crutksdub]

Beautiful machine! I never knew there was engines that can run on both diesel and gas. Very informative!

[midnitesquirldog]

nice international ! i have sand blasted one of these before used fiber glass and etching paint to fill pits works wonders the machine looked like brand new when i was done.

[KrankieV2]

i've seen that pinkish color under yellow before. I always thought it was some kind of primer.

[emomotorgeek]

@KrankieV2 it's red oxide etching primer. very common pre-1985. UV radiation fades it to that chalky pink color after a while.

[KrankieV2]

@emomotorgeek thanks for the info

[arbitor1701]

Power wash Dorothy and paint her up again.As much work as it does its worth a RustOleum

paint job.That would be great to see it all washed and painted.Black or red paint.

Fascinating that that thing runs on gas to diesel .

[bastarddoggy]

That was some good instructing. I feel like I could hop on and drive it now, no problem. Well, small problem, I don't have one to drive. :(

[thedeadnotsleeping]

wow, i would totally kill someone in front of their own mother, just to drive that thing.

[Debraj1978]

Best one. I always wanted to drive such dozers, when I saw them as a kid in Himalayas, clearing land slide. In India, such earth movers made by BEML. The diesel smoke though smell different from them, any reason why?

[Bevoin1970]

I just love this machine, not only its rustic look, but its sound too. - Finally I was dying for you to steer it slightly to the left and flatten that nearby parked car... :-))

[171apples171]

Lymans towing in Sioux city had 2 of these but they were smaller. They both had plows on the front but none in the back. Lyman's was abandoned for some time. A good 20 years probably. I was just lucky enough to go in there before they cleared everything out last year and grab some shit out of there. They actually had an old international refrigerator truck that was full of all sorts a cool stuff. I got an antique fan and both the international logos off of the dozers. It was a pretty cool place

[mattdaman666]

Trippin balls. That's so cool. Omg man nothing will ever be made the same. just think about it, were past that time and you wont ever get to use equpement from way back in the day unless you find collectors items like this. its so neat that it all works perfectly. the quality back then is mind blowing when you think of how shit the stuff is made today. its just not made to last. awesome machine dave

[2008atomic]

That is by far the most destructive piece of equipment the farm has ever seen.

[crazeyspivey]

Awesome Bug Out Vehicle!

[beatnic50]

I liked the duel camera work.  Did you use a remote or have a friend helping?

[DeepFriedFuzzball]

Give it a coat of that original red paint it would look awesome!!

[Gieuw1]

I think the big gauge in the middle was a tachometer.

[americantrucker85]

how about killdozer

[McGrawFarm]

Dave should straight pipe that dozer

[420Honey]

Hey he's allowed back on You Tube! I find it amusing, but no way in hell would I leave him with my son.

[JPilot2]

David, excellent to see you fabricated a replacement exhaust system for your 1953 international dozer. Well Done!

[123tyler1234]

That would make a pretty cool project to turn that into a tank!

[CNRailWabamun]

My dad has a D7 size Dresser Dozer, Great machine for the winter and fixing washed out logging roads. Not quite sure what year but it is similar to your International Dozer.

[NOTSODOTCALM]

who cares rick bloke pug everybody cool is gone now your just the next neverland ranch

[windrivercountrykid]

love this vid,wanna sell it?

[1717BY]

At 10:18 it looks like you were drinking beer!

[1717BY]

I like this machine! especially the sound change when you turn it from gas to diesel

[MrCrashes101]

made in chicago close to were i live!!!!!

[surredneck66]

Christean Vanishing point both grate movies

[viper71753]

paint the dozer red dave lol i'm joking looks good the way it is 

[eurekaseven4me]

It was fire engine red originally..it looks pink because it is heavily sunfaded (probably spent 30+ years outside before it was painted yellow. and also, International harvester existed until 1985. IHC never sold their Heavy equipment division. when they folded in 1985 Case purchased the entire company..dresser had been a partner company for years.being so they bought out a portion of the heavy equipment branch..which kinda made them a big player. dresser is now dressta, a subsidiary of komastu

[paulktmrider]

big one was hydraulic pressure

[marcellinasfigaro]

very interesting

[alpinerider50]

WANT ONE!!!

[dalihendrix]

you need a hurst shifter nob

[dalihendrix]

20 tons the machine is worh more in scrap price than I bet you paid.

[billstmaxx]

you use the left and right brakes to steer it?

[thinkpad411]

OH! and how does the engine manage with the ULS diesel? I hear alot of the tired old diesels need the sulfur to provide additional lubricity and condition the seals.

[thinkpad411]

Dave i was wondering, why do most diesel's for industrial applications use a very large 2 cartridge setup like that to filter the fuel? Is it because they can run on very low grade fuel with lots of sulfur/particles in it?

[boomy818]

you should repaint it!!!!

[HaveaMonster1]

that is sweet

[timmie124]

why do you have to prime diesel but not gasoline?

[thinkpad411]

@timmie124 It's sort of like having vapor lock in a gasoline engine on a hot day when the fuel vaporizes, except, not quite. Throttle control on a diesel does not depend on air mass, it is controlled mechanically or electronically via a series of rubber valves in the fuel/injector pump. You'll also have a low injector pressure which in a diesel means no diesel will be injected on the compression stroke for quite some time, so, you have to release a bleed screw and use the manual priming pump.

[jdouglasfisher]

ever thought of doing a restoration on that machine? Its a classic and there aren't many working models left these days. Would make a good sub-series of videos for your channel...

[ThePunisherPRT]

Can you do a video about your backhoe?

[ThePunisherPRT]

Can you do a video about your backhoe?

[alexseadoo]

Dave how much did you pay for this years ago?

[theruley]

what a fantastic piece of mechanical engineering. Ill bet driving it takes a lot of getting used to!

[2035jim]

That thing is a beast.

[pretzel1253]

you should do a top speed of it

[gogmorgoaway]

You are aware that snow drift burial is more likely to insulate it from the cold (and -25 really isn't all that cold) than to make it colder, right?

[ninjaplease123]

Very interesting video

[seanplayzthedrumz]

coolest thing i have ever seen !

[drummer12371]

My friend has a 1973 International truck 

[DerbyDriverLD50]

You should definitely restore that one dave...i think it was actually originally IH red the pigment in the paint they used back then was crap and it turns pink if it sits in the sun much.

[fordtruck39]

can you do a video on your bachoe ?



[3Mudbone1]

The newer bulldozers have joysticks which do about five things. And the newest Caterpillars have electric motors which drive the tracks like a locomotive.

[lyerlyman]

A turrent with a canon on her would look nice.

[zxzxJoKeRThEiFzxzx]

dave you should give it a fresh coat of paint pretty it up

[n0sl1w]

Or Vanishing Point hahahha! nice one

[guitarpicker1988]

It is very interesting to see how this device works

[geppegep]

lol i feel like i can smell it through the youtube video

[briansmobile1]

Dual motors rule.

[lejink]

cool

[OnusofStrife]

Dave i think the color was originally international harvester red.

[BobConolty]

Thanks Dave! I very much enjoy your instructional videos.

[jmurray01]

She looks pretty menacing at 14:02!

[ooNap0oo]

nice vid, also liked the first one about the dozer on the old channel

[uhfnutbar1]

good video dave Thanks



[WasabiMeal]

This is probably my favorite vehicle on the farm

[halosux4life]

the type of clutch in that beautiful dozer is called an over-center type, it is adjusted by pull force on the clutch lever, a semi truck type is called a push type clutch and you adjust it for free pedal and clearance between the release bearing and the clutch brake.

in a car is a pull type clutch and i dont know shit about them haha, i work on trucks and heavy equipment, and clutches are my favourite type of maintenece on them. just a piece of information for you guys :) cheers!

[BMAN294]

You might as well plow over that POS Mazda

[MrWildyOwns1]

i remember u changed the clutch its massive

[TheViZionZinHD]

Damn... they had push to start in 1953..

[xXMonsterXFanXx]

ok so hi

[schomminater]

The bus is still there.

[Killzor420]

Thanks for another vid

[gibsonlespaul2]

1:22 - 1:30

That's what she said ;D

Lol

[1diesellover]

i love that thing

[d46512]

Awesome video! Question: Why did they use massive displacement back then for only 180 hp? Must be a fuel guzzler.

[7477238]

@d46512 It's not a BMW M car it's a dozer. It has enough power to plow a house right down and move dirt/snow with ease. It might have only 180HP but that high displacement and low revving engine produces a shitload of torque which powers the hydraulics with ease.

[kodychevyman1992]

dave u should repaint the dozer

[dpx1080]

Wait a second GAS and DEISLE? Doesn’t that make it a hybrid? Don’t tell Al Gore!

[DieselPowerTV]

She sounds like a new dozer once the exhaust leaks were fixed. I got several dozers much bigger than that TD20. Lots of caterpillar D9G's.

[mrchopper91]

Just for fun. Here in Sweden Volvo put an engine like that one in one of their tractormodels in the 50is. It was called T43 Hesselman. Hesselman was a Swedish inventor who contructed this type of engines. Volvo also put this type of engines in one of their truckmodels. The only problems with the engines was that very often the sparkplugs got to much coal from the diesel onto them and the engine wouldnt start at all. Therefore the engine was nicknamed "Trasselman". "Trassel"= To mess something up

[duncsplace]

Awww, that was really nice, enjoyed it to bits. Keep 'em coming, just wanna kiss that dozer now! (Here's hoping some tow rag doesn't steal your diesel now!!!)

[tractorboydavidbrown]

little info for you the red colour under the yellow paint is the orignal colour they would have painted it yellow for industral/highways use. ps is great havin you back love how you can turn a non runner in to a happy sounder

[grandprismatic]

Dave, why don't you ever put the cab on the front end loader for the winter? At least you would be dry and out of the wind or I should say Rick would for driving it to and from your house.

[JackD567]

What a great piece of old steel. Destroy something with it.

[Derm15]

go over a car whit that dozer!!!!!!

[kitfoxflyer]

awesome video Dave



[julescicle]

we have an old ih tricycle tractor and its the same reddish pink. they start out red as blood and the sun fades them out over the years of being in the sun

[highcountrytimber]

Would be nice to see the old girl restored some.

[zetnakatel]

Shame you didn't run over that pice of shit mazda or what this is.. video where you destroying it with this dozer will be awsome. cheers.

[surfordie82]

I love this! Now you should make a video of the Chevy 305 powered loader.

[macmiller63]

@WHITEYAINTSCARED do you enjoy being retarded? Damn faggot

[Canadianredneks]

Haha, rickemhas got his little speedex and daves got his 20 ton international dozer

[theboredredneck]

@WHITEYAINTSCARED lmfao sadly yea probably not as many but theres enough

[eddyabc]

Oh heck! If that dozer went Christine, I'd be scared. It may be slow, but it'll run forever.

[titmustang]

why you dont repaint it?

[ToonVerbergen]

Nice explanation about the dozer, its a mighty old beast and its running well. grtz from Baarle Nassau the Netherlands.

[offroadingjeep]

Crush some thing since you got it running again.

[tombml]

check my vids for Rick And Dave On MTVs Rob Dyrdek Ridiculousness

[archmage164]

How did you get this to the farm if its so heavy?

[rizzlebizzle3]

You should do a refurb video on her. For all the work she's done, she deserves a proper clean up and some paint. That would be awesome to see.

[matts4290]

Positive ground?



[eddyabc]

@matts4290 Yeah. They used to rig a lot of vehicles up that way back then. I can think of a couple of Posi-ground heavy utility vehicles at my Dad's buddy's farm, one of them being an old 360 excavator.

[rickey5353]

I love that dozer, Dave. Pull it up to the shop sometime, clean her up and giver her a fresh paint job. That would be a cool video.

[dieselpower4ever]

Actually Dave, it wasn't really a redish pink, it was a special kind of darker red (thus named International Harvester Red) that made international harvester famous.

[doscooby76]

NICE



[JamesReadythe5th]

I didn't know Volvo made a bulldozer. :P

[4Skyline05]

Love the sound of a low idle motor

[r3g3d17]

Great vid! Was wondering... do you (or ever have you) run it on heating oil or red diesel?

[Davidsfarmlives]

@r3g3d17 i runs great on all fuel grades.

[shinyfuzzy]

what a beast of a machine. i remember when ur van got stuck and u pushed it along with a giant pile of snow lol

[starlite2991]

very cool dave

[starlite2991]

very cool Dsvr very cool. Thanks for the vid

[valdarmort]

there is a movie where the star of the movie is a dozer Killdozer was a now-cult made for TV movie from the 1970's. Veteran actors play veteran construction crew clearing terrain for an oil company, 200 miles off coast of Africa, that come under attack by one of their own bulldozers.

Actually, the bulldozer (the mighty D-9'er) has been contaminated by some kind of malevolent meteorite radiation, and perhaps its mind, located in its shovel evidently, has turned murderously psychotic.

[wwjoshdew]

@cameramonkey2 yup, there sure was a video of him replacing the clutch.

[HelloHansSolo]

HI DAVE, does your bulldozer have a uterus, to produce smaller dozers?

[TheRSMVM]

whats the mpg on that monster?

[rcbasher101]

@TheRSMVM Miles per gallon on a bulldoser? that doesn't make any sence

[ZaddionGames]

Dave, what happen to your school bus? Really love that farm bus and would like to see more on it! :D

[bustacap470]

did anyone see the bee at 4:14?

[halfasser]

@bustacap470 Yeah, and did you see that blade of grass at 02:28?

[natescamp]

Thumbsup if you remember Dave changing that clutch!

[davidrobert2007]

Dave, make a replica killdozer out of it, just don't go on the rampage through Granby in it.

[buggsyspam]

Dave, what exactly engages the gasoline? The compression lever?

[kubahobo]

man that is FREEKING AWESEOME! i remember my grandpa RIP teaching  to me how to drive our 70's ( i think ) Ursus tractor :(( i love memories and life!!!

[BeetleBerlin]

I understand that Archie McArdle is now employed by the code enforcement people in Canada

[BeetleBerlin]

You didn't mention the disaster when IH closed the TRACTOR WORKS where these big units were built. Talk about Archie McArdle and his abuse of employees.

[Safwentay]

Mount a decent size gun on top and you would really have your own tank.

That's a sweet tick over Dave, sounds like a hit and miss engine!!!!!!!!

Come on Dave treat the old girl to a new coat of yellow paint!!!

Great vid.

[timdeknegt]

Haha love the ending when you drive off with your hands on the back of your head.

Keep up the good work dave!

Greetings from Holland

[mustangfan1995]

wow that thing is almost 60 years old!

[bigryan991]

what a cool machine!

[randomrazr]

built strong to last long llol

[Rusakko82]

it would be great to see when you paint that dozer

[e5pk9]

i think she needs a little grease lol

[GradyRho92]

you should refurbish it. take all the pannels off bondo, sand, paint,make it look nice

[CatCrazyLover]

when do you think you will need to retire the old girl and obtain a new one? Will she last your lifetime, Dave?

[Davidsfarmlives]

@CatCrazyLover it will never die or be retired.

[giterdone93]

@Davidsfarmlives there's no ROPS on that thing that is not OSHA approved lol

[xXMonsterXFanXx]

@Davidsfarmlives if you did sell it, how much would you sell it for?

[farmerphil]

Thats a good crawler we had the same machine on the farm my grandfather bought it new, used it to clear the fields and for logging. It fell into an abandoned lead pit and was to much money to get out, still there under about 20 feet of dirt. Nice Video. Phil

[Dualshock21]

@CatCrazyLover why the fuck should he get a new one when he already got one that works?

[CatCrazyLover]

@Dualshock21 Read first, you shit

[Dualshock21]

@CatCrazyLover Read what? -.-

[piersremus]

Thats a real sweet beast you have there Dave! I personaly think you should give a repaint for its a lovely machine, deserves it in a way!

And yeah...I do remember when you did skyhill with it....nice days!

DIESEL Power yaaa. DAVIDS FARM ROCKS!!!
