The other day I found this cool old TD 40 crawler sitting way up high on the edge of a ridge in the Eastern WA Paluse country. It looks like its been there quite a while. The engine does not turn (at least with the crank) so its prob stuck. I"ve done a bit o research and seems as though the TD 40 was IH"s first diesel I really like crawlers and the start on gas run on diesel concept of this tractor really sounds interesting. I am near compleation of my current project (Case LA) and kinda thought this crawler looked like a cool project sounds like they weigh about 12000lbs which is not a prob for me as far as hauling but do these things freeze into unmovable lumps? getting this thing down off the ridge looks like it could be interesting. How much are they worth restored? Unrestored? Parts availality? The serial # is TCC6512 can anybody tell me from that when it was made? Thanks for all the help!
