Hello there,

New to this forum and new to this kind of equipment.

I am looking at buying a 1962 International TD6 bulldozer. I have several questions because I know NOTHING about this kind of equipment, although I do know something about engines.

This is apparently (so the seller tells me) the first year the TD6 was all electric start (no gas motor to start the diesel). I have started this rig and it starts right up, sounds great and doesn't smoke and has good oil pressure. I forgot to look how many hours are on it. I got to drive it and everything seemed to work. Here are my questions:

1) The turn levers (I don't know what they are called other than that) are uneven when in resting position. When you pull on the one the way you want to go, it barely turns in the direction desired unless one also applies that side's foot brake. Is this sign of some sort of wear or is it normal?

2) Can one get a winch for it?

3) Can one get a loader for it?

4) Is it considered a fairly good rig?

5) Is $5,500 too much for it?

Forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong area. I am aquiring an International TD-6 and I need some specs on it such as weight and a few other things once I get it from KY down here to TX. I own an M35A2 type tractor and have a flat bed to get the Dozer. However, the flat bed is not a drop deck and I'm looking to get the correct loading ramps to handle the weight. Any help from your forum would be greatly appreciated. I'd prefer to fab my own ramps but any guidance to the correct specs on the weight and/or a good source for ramps will be appreciated. Thank you all for your time!

I have a TD-6 that is hooked to a saw mill and I need to know the rpms that turn the p.t.o. so I can have the saw blade pounded.

your 1962 TD-6 is a 62 series with a 6 cylinder diesel thet uses glowplugs to help start it in cold weather,NEVER use either! yes you can put a wench and a loader on it but it will be quite costley to get a complete hyd system and loader from a salvage yard.. I have a older TD-6 that starts on gas and runs on diesel, i have a wench for it but havent mounted it, your 62 series is basically the same as mine except mine has 4 cylinders and a 4 roller undercarriage yours has a 5 roller undercarriage, many parts are interchangeable, i just put a High reverse out of a 62 in mine and it works great, idlers are the same and rollers too. the 5500 dollar pricetag is a good price IF the undercarriage is excellent and everything works good but if the undecarriage is half gone and clutches and brakes are bad then the price range should be in the 1500 to 2500 range..since it doesnt have a blade or highlift then i would sudjest hooking the drawbar to a big tree or something that wont move and use 1st gear to pull, it should spin both tracks with no problem but if one side or both slipps then you will have to rebuild the clutches. you have to apply the brakes to make it turn but if you just pull the stearing clutch lever it will drift to the side that you pull.. there is a adjustment to even out the levers i would sudjest getting a owners manule and a shop manuel.

Thanks guys for your email repsonses and the posting.

Yes, this is the 6 cyl model and it does have a blade on it. We did push up against an oak stump and both tracks spun at the same rate. It does come with the owner manual and it sounds like the uneven steering levers are just an adjusment issue. This dozer is in really good shape cosmetically, a little rust here and there as he just keeps it under a tarp (we live in the Sierra Foothills of California). The current owner has had it 10 years.

Just a couple other questions...

1) What do I look for in the undercarriage to determine if everything is OK?

2) I have seen a picture of a winch mounted on the back of an older TD6. Is there a PTO somewhere back there? This one had no such obvious PTO that I am familiar with.

3) Can the "wenches" be had cheaply (pun intended, LOL)at a used parts yard?

to tell if the tracks are in good condition reach up under the track and feel the bushings,, if they are round then they are in good shape the more out of round they are the worse they are, if they are worne through to the pin then they are shot and would need new pins and bushings.. look at the top rollers, if there is a groove worne in them where the chain runs then they are not so bad but if they dont role and they are worne througn then they will need replaceing.. another way to get a idea on how the tracks are is look at the front idler, if the idler is adjusted to the front of the trackframe then the tracks arent so good the farther back the idler is the better the track chains are.. also look at the idlers where the chains ride and inspect for wear, since it has a blade lift the front of the tracks off the ground and take a big bar and see if the idlers have any play in the bearings, if it does then it can be costley to repair.. to run a wench there is a shaft that should come with the wench that fits into the trans from the back and couples up to the countershaft and the wench has the rest inside to make it work. a wench shouldnt be too hard to find but can be costley, the run from $1000.00 to $1200.00 another common problem is the sprockets, if the teeth on the sprockets come to a sharp point then they are going to need replaceing.. also it would be wise to take a big bar and pry on the sprockets to see if the sprocket drive has come loose inside the finaldrive.. if there is movement more than a little play then the nut that holdes everything tight may have come loose or the bearings may be worne.. in any cace your looking at expensive repairs down the road.
