HD11E

That old beast probably has 7.0 pitch rail on it too, wish it were here for my spare!!  Actually pretty decent looking, what was major malfunction?

BTW, excellent looking 11 behind this one.

The old girl is missing the bottom gears in the transmission, doesn't steer, and has oil in the coolant, coolant in the oil- maybe a bad oil cooler.  I bought it for the undercarriage- I think the rails are going on the old EP in the background.  This tractor is another from LE Myers, the high-line rigging outfit.  The old gentleman I bought this one from has another as well, and told me LE Myers ran around 200 Allis crawlers- most without dozers on them.  They didn't spare any expense on this undercarriage- new rails, top and bottom rollers, idlers and sprocket rims- looks really good on the bottom.
My friend told me he visited the LE Myers maintenance yard one time- brand new final drive gears and other good parts just laying out in the rain.  When asked about them, they said they were just scrap!  Some of these machines got mismatched tracks, too- might have a Berco rail on one side, and ITM on the other and stuff like that.  Glad this one didn't end up like that.
There must still be a stash of these crawlers somewhere...

I am looking for a radiator and a canopy and some tin...

I do not have the tractor here but will have a buddy get the serial number...

Thanks,

I was buying them at around $1000, but it has been 3 or 4 years...

Now it's got an eye patch. Looks good.
