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.
