I have been looking for a track loader for some time now and have been bouncing between just about all of the makes. I had decided on a Case 450 then a Deere 450 came up, fell through, now I am looking at a IH TD6. Its a 1968 so it would make it younger than me, but I think it might be a little light in weight and HP.

I plan to do some clearing to make some trails and clean up fence bottoms and field edges. I don't plan to knock down any huge trees but I would like to get a feel for what amount of work this little fella could do.

The machine is about two hours away from me. I am planning to look at it on Friday. I was told that the whole machine is in good shape, however the u/c is showing some age.

Anything to be wary of in the late td6s

He is asking CAN$3900.

Any comments, opinions, or advice is welcome.

Thanks/Doug

I'm no expert on TD6's, but have never heard of any special vulnerabilities for them. They have the same engine as my loader (the 150, or TD9B with Drott loader), which is the 282 diesel. The engine has been great, nothing to really report in the form of idiosyncrasies. Although mine is hard to start when it drops below freezing, and from what I've heard that's fairly typical of the 282. The loader will have a 'hydrospring', which is a big shock absorber that soaks up high pressure pulses in the hydraulic circuit (lessening shock loads on the loader frame and ram seals). These appear to have a tendency to leak or seep a bit, so might want to check that out (although even if it does leak, it may be a relatively slow stable leak).

Other than that, just normal crawler stuff to look at as far as I know. You can go to the redpower site listed below and talk to some TD6 guys there, they should be able to give you more helpful info. Good luck...

Thanks for your reply.

You mentioned that the td6 and td9 have the same engine. How can this be? I thought that the td9 was a bigger machine with a more hp.

I am also looking at at td9. I thought that the td9 had about 50 hp.

Thanks/Doug

The TD6's and TD9's/150's made in the 60's both had the 282 six cylinder diesel engine. The TD6's had a detuned version that put out 55 hp, whereas the gear drive TD9's and 150's had a turbo engine that put out 71 hp. The powershift 150 (TD9B w/Drott) had a normally aspirated (non-turbo) 282 that produced 75 hp. The non-turbo version spun faster (2200 rpm vs 1800 rpm), so that's why it produced more power than the turbo version. The turbo's primary advantage is that its power output didn't drop off while working at higher altitudes like the non turbo did. (relatively no power loss up to ~7,000 ft elevation).

The older versions of the TD9 loaders (including TD9-91) from the mid fifties had 4 cylinder engines that were started on gas and then you flipped a switch and "converted" to diesel. They had a small gasoline tank in addition to the primary diesel tank. I believe they switched to direct starting 6 cylinder diesels with the -92 series in the late 50's.

The later models of the TD9 have the turbocharged version of the 282 engine used in later TD6 models.
