This is a fairly rare and operating tractor that needs 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.
