International TD-4 dozer Crawler

[hemphill]

I just helped my neighbor replace the clutch on a Komatsu dozer, that he just bought. Smaller dozers are definitely easier to work on, don’t need a hoist to lift everything. I am also an International fan. I grew up using a 1972 International 966 tractor with a front end loader on our ranch. I sent you a message.

Mid 40’s TD-4 dozer crawler. Needs a radiator and the shifter fixed. We drove it to where it sits 18 months ago. Hydraulics work and it drove fine. If you need it, come get it. Thanks. Message me

Will it move at all? Wondering how to load it. Would it need to be repaired onsite in order to get it loaded?

To move it you’ll have to remove the axles from the final drives and winch it on a trailer.

You may be correct in that it’s a TD6 I looks so into some time back and it’s one or the other. Diesel/gas starts on gasoline and runs on diesel. 6volt electrical system.

On a gasoline pony motor or the same motor?

It has a lever that activates a valve to an additional combustion chamber with a spark plug. It has a carburetor with just an idle circuit. Starts on 6 volts, let warm up, throw lever and it activates diesel injection pump and shuts off spark plugs and closes valve raising compression for diesel.

I'd love to have this thing. But I have no idea how to repair it or how to get it home. I'd give my left nu... arm to have this thing.

YouTube videos on how to repair everything on it. Post pics once you get it up and running!

OK, I have been trying to find a picture of an Internation TD4. I see a lot of T4's, TD6's TD9's but only one TD4. Were most of the mid 40's tractors used in wartime with the Seabees?

Not much of a picture.

So this not a picture of the actual dozer?

Me, too!

the t4 was a gasoline engine tractor. i could be wrong but i don't think ih made a td4. it is probably a td6. it should start on gas and warm up then run on diesel. it doesn't have a pony motor like the caterpillar. i used to run td14 and td18 way back there. i don't think removing an axle from the final will work to move it but unless something is in a bind it should roll just fine. prepare for it to be heavy.
