   OK...1953
 Allis Chalmers HD9G crawler loader. Our father bought this loader new 
to use in there logging operation..It was one of the first ones to reach
 California.  I think the story was the AC reps and sales people showed 
up and took this picture and others...later they provided this 
picture...it's stamped Allis Chalmers MFG on the back. After the first 
summer in the woods it was brought in and a local company built a canopy
 for it. The AC factory did not provide any type of canopies at the 
time.  It was used in the operation until 1961....the logging economy in
 Ca. got pretty sluggish. Our father moved the logging operation to 
British Columbia, Canada. for a season to work for some friends that had
 moved up there. This HD9G...HD15A Dozer/winch tractor...HD11B 
Dozer/winch tractor.   It didn't work out very well...only lasted one 
season.  The HD9 and HD15 were sold in BC through a local AC dealer. The
 HD11 did migrate back home to us.

	These are great. You don't see HD9Gs very often, at least not out here in the middle of the country.
