With the scrap price of steel way up I was telling my dad it might be time to get rid of the old big bladed dozer he’s had sitting for decades.
He use to go out every year and turn it over by hand to keep it from seizing but the years went by and now I’m sure it’s locked pretty good.
So I’m wondering if anyone might know the estimated weight of the critter.
Xeroxed copies of various components and type written how to repair sequence sheets that came with it say T & TD-6(61), 6(62), 9(91) and 9(2) Series Crawler Tractors
and outside of that have no Model #s unless I go 10 miles out there and look.
Anyhow, was hoping someone might have a rough idea of the weight.
Thanks

Sell it to Junkhoud...
Win-Win.
i just sent a car to the scrapper today,180 a ton. i have 2 old work vans that still run and drive but to tell you the truth there worth more in weight than to sell. each about 2.5 tons. larry
if a man speaks in the forest,and there's not a woman to hear him,is he still wrong?
My guess would be that a TD-6 of that vintage would be somewhere in the 8,000 lb. range, with some range depending on whether it has a rear attachment (like a drum) and/or a ROPS (canopy) which might add a half ton or more.
It also might have a bit more value than simple scrap to one of those scrappers who tear them down and sell the parts.
What'd you do, quit early today?

I did an image search. Might be worth more than scrap.
What else is in the back forty?[email protected]
I'll have to run out there sometime and grab some pics.
Two old semi trailers with trees growing up around them now or I'd have already had them towed to my place and making use.
Come to think of it, last year when I saw a family of coons camped out in the ceiling of the one by the number of eyes reflecting back from the flashlight
I realized the trailers were old refrigerated and the tubing in there is probably stainless.

16 ounces to the pound and 2,000 of those pounds to the ton....
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming
WOW!!! What a Ride!
Forget the primal scream, just ROAR!!!
