Thankfully the operator wasn't on it when it went for the tumble. Big loss of hardware for sure.

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.
