Looking at the sprockets the undercarriage was ready for rebuild before it ran off. So somebody got a fair bit of work out of that machine.

My uncle ran 2 HD 14's, The torch converter drive one he bought new in 53 or 54 when they first came out. In late 1960's he bought the direct drive one to pull a scraper and farm with. As the main operator and head mechanic he got along fine with them. But they did not like a ruff and tumble operator.  And he did work on them a bit more than some other machines would of needed.

The narrator on the video suggests the machine would only be about 10 years old when it slipped into the gorge.  You'd think they would have at least considered salvaging it?  A big undertaking and a difficult task - but with say a couple of heavier tracklayers with big winches, and ground anchors, you could inch it upwards out of the water then clear the brush and haul it up the banking?

Them sprockets were wore to a point so it had a bunch of wear on it.

Yeah, maybe it was pretty well worn out. But seems a shame for it to remain in its current resting place forever. Makes you wonder if someone did figure out a way to recover the blade, since it used to be there and now can’t be found.
