This is a fairly rare and operating tractor that needs preserving and a good home. It
has an unidentified aftermarket hydraulic push blade. Original GM 6-71 Detroit
as far as I can tell. It is one of the few remaining HD19H units that survived
early wholesale shipments to Pakistan according to what McAllister Brothers
told me years ago. It is in good running condition. The undercarriage is
estimated to be at 60 percent by my guess. I have spare idlers, rollers, one
front idler and several grouser plates and I believe final drive gears as extra
parts. I know this is a rare early model due to the lighter interior support
webs that carry the clutches. The drive clutch engagement mechanism is not of
the later style listed in most parts manuals. There is mostly yellow paint with a small amount of orange and
what appears to be faded olive drab. The torque converter has been replaced
with a modified HD16 unit (identical except for clamping bolt hole diameters)
with the sprague clutch deactivated. It will not pull start, electric starts
fine on its own. The converter has had the bearings and seals replaced, but
there is still some converter seepage. The stack goes from blue to black when
it gets appropriately pissed off... A good 8 hour day of waterway work and
pushing would use up about 55 gallons of diesel. Cheap running. I used it along
with a Caterpillar Diesel Tandem Auto Patrol 11. Estimated 48,000# with the
13'6" wide blade and add-on ROPS. (Recorded dry weight of the tractor
alone is 40,000#) It is currently advertised on Craigslist. 10'8" Tall,
18"6" Length and 13'6" wide.
