Hi, Trackson.
It's good to see one of those jiggers still working. How does the Ford diesel handle it? All the DD's that I operated had an AC diesel engine and were not a bad machine at all considering that they were flat out weighing 8 tons. The later Fiat-Allis 65B that I operated had an auto trans in it which made it a good bit more user-friendly. It also had a rear ripper which gave it a fair bit more weight over the drive and helped with the traction.
Thanks for sharing.
You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
