Abandoned HD21

10,000 views and counting- must be a record for this forum! Good story.

thats a big enough dozer nothing should stop it just get her running and go around the bridge or thru the woods i have to believe not much would slow down that monster

Posted this one a while ago neighbor still has it said it ran good but no steering said he would sell it.

Hey guys. I took a ride down there a few days ago and it looks like no one has been there.
I didn't walk all the way to the bridge but it was obvious no vehicles have been on that road. Unhappy

A 2016 update.
Sorry had to do it

Oh yea good thinking Ryan

ACCrazy, are you OK, haven't seen a post for a while, also wondering if anything has been done with/about the HD21. Any fires go through that country?

Thanks, I guess that is good news. Glad you are doing fine too!

Don't want to shock anyone or get hopes up but here's an update.

Answered a CL ad selling an old Ford 352 engine and the seller happened to be an old friend of mine who incidently, lives by the HD21. Went to pick up the engine and as we were standing around shooting the sheeite, I off handedly asked him if he knew the owner of the 21 and he said yes--known her for years. He actually helps her out occasionally.

Well, I explained to him about wanting to purchase the machine from her to go to Mel for restoration and that we had lost contact with her. He said he would talk to her the next time he saw her on our behalf and put in a good word. I thanked him profusely.

Regarding the 21. Evidently his dad worked in the woods and had experience working with that machine! My friend remembers being around it when he was a kid. From what he says, the reason it was parked wasn't because of the steering but because of turbo problems. He didn't elaborate on what the problems were but they ended up running it without the turbo and consequently it didn't have much power, so they just used it on the log deck shoving logs around before parking it for good.

He said they tore up the paved part of the road by the condemned bridge so that way out is completely off the table. However, he did say there's other ways out, so that's encouraging!

Will post back when I get any news.

Hope all you guys are well and 2019 is treating you kindly so far! :)

Thanks for the update. Keep us posted

Hi all , we are very interested in buying parts we have one here in Mexico that we would love to fix , does anyone know where I can ask ? I would appreciate it so much ! Thanks

It’s 2020 what’s going on

An update would be good. His last log in was July 2, 2019; so it might not be right away, not to say he isn't dropping by without logging in.

Sad situation the owner got dementia had no family county took over brought in commercial guardian company who brought in scrappers hauled for a week with a fleet of semis

That's sad to hear
