| I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I am Daniel. I have recently acquired a AC HD 5. I know nothing about this old girl other than it is the dozer version. Hopefully I will be able to get it back to working condition. My goal is to restore it. |

Hello Daniel. Welcome to the forum.. Your post is in the "SHOP and BARN" section that covers a lot of odd questions.. When you have SPECIFIC questions on the dozer, put them in the "CONSTRUCTION" area and you will get PLENTY of help !! ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

| Thank you everyone for the Welcome. I also have other Allis machines 1 wd and 1 wd with the 45 engine in it that i am always working on for a friend. For tractors I personally own 2 Farmalls a H and a 460. The H runs and has very little needed work and the 460 is a complete ground up build. I also have a Owatanna series 1700 and a mitey mac skidloader. LOTS of projects. must have fallen in to my lap and I just cant say no... I would love to learn about the 2-71 engines. Even though I own a diesel repair company I have never even seen a 2 stroke diesel. Im only 35 so they were a little before my time. Thanks again for the welcome. |
