Just picked up a Allis  HD4 track loader. Fits well with the ACP40, TL12 and HD4 dozer don't you think?
It's got a steering clutch problem I think, it will run straight for a bit then turn really hard to the right, but you can push it fine and the track rolls smooth. I'm excited to dig into it and see what is up with this machine, couldn't help picking it up for only 2k, especially cause we have the other HD4 just like it, besides for the front attachment of course.

Thanks for letting me showcase a bit. Thought folks might enjoy a pic of a pack of Allis's.

Looks like it should fit right in. Is the TL12 a runner? If it is , how do you like it? I keep thinking I need one.

The TL12 is a runner, I picked this one up after seeing my grandfather have one as his sawdust loader. Mine was reengined with a Detroit 353 but my grandfather's original gas powered one was a fantastic loader for the time. And is fine for a loader these days if you don't care about mobility as turning it is a chore, and the arms that can chop your arms off. But having said that I've loved mine does what it should, very easy to work on once you know it's quirks, and like any good old Allis is just fun to drive.
