This might not be in the right forum area, but I will ask anyway.
Does the HD-41 dozer shown in C.H. Wendels book still exist?
Was looking at that last night and wow was that huge! |

| At the age of 10, I climbed up on one and sat on a HD-41 at the 1973 Illinois State Fair in Springfield, Illinois. I believe it had eleven stair steps to get up to the operators platform. Yes, it was huge!! Its dozer blade was 7' tall. Loads of steel... It was located in the old AgExpo building just east of the Dairy Expo building which exhibited the life size butter cow. |

I remeber seeing a sise by side photo of an HD41 and a huge Komatsu that made the 41 look like a shrimp. Komatsu is much newer though. ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |

There has been one on, I think Craigslist, in New jersey for sale $35,000. Maybe it was e-bay. I confuse easily.LOL Bob@allisdowneast.
PS, My wife has been tolerant of my collecting, but buying this for a lawn ornament would not go over. |

Yep, still there. North Jersey Craigslist. 88 tons of Fiat Allis beauty.
Let us know who buys it so we can come and droll over it. Maybe a business opportunity. Buy it, haul it and set up a "drive-a-dozer" business. Sell half hours in the seat, operating it in your gravel pit for $35.00. Only have to sell about 2,000 of those to get back your investment and hauling costs. Wouldn't take much fuel, would it?

There was a restored HD41 at a Richland Centre show in Wisconsin in October. Here is a link to some photos that were posted on the forum
You will also see that Alberta Phil replied saying that 2 HD41's work in a near-by coalmine http://www.allischalmers.com/new/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19094&KW=richland+center+show&PID=142061&title=pics-from-ac-show-in-richland-center-wisconsin#142061 |

That is the photo I was thinking of. Guess it wasn't a Komatsu. ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |

Isn't that a D 11 Cat? Komatsu does make a big one, I think D475 or maybe 575 about the same hp as a Cat but with regular tracks like the HD 41. By the way, I have an HD41, it's sitting on my dresser in the bedroom, got it from our friend who owns this site, I believe.

Had to look at that '41 on Craigslist in NJ. Good looking machine, It would probably cost at least as much to haul it out to Colo as it is selling for. Maybe Fred needs it, he's close by and isn't our resident wiring expert a Jerseyite?

Here is a picture I took a year ago of a 41B working in a coal mine in southwest PA.
The story is that the company has about 10 working units and about 20 parts machines  ------------- Nothing is impossible if it is properly financed |

| I was a mechanics helper for McClung Logan Equip.Co.in 1971-72.We had warrenty work to do on a HD 41.I was a new guy and my mechanic threatend to put me in the belly pan to unhook the tork converter.Had no idea what to do,so he did it.The thrill I had on the HD 41 was when we were done I rode with him in the cab to test drive it in a huge pile of dirt.Dirt was coming over top of the blade with black smoke out both stacks. What a ride.Would love to do that again!! |

I met a guy a couple of years ago out here that was a mechanic for AC crawlers. He claimed it was all the warranty work on the crawlers that put AC under....claimed the undercarriage couldn't hold up to the power in rocky conditions. ------------- ALLIS EXPRESS! This year: |
