“SAMPLE†will not appear on your print, it is only on the scanned image. This INTERNATIONAL TD-24 CRAWLER EQUIPPED WITH BUCYRUS-ERIE ANGLE DOZER AND ISAACSON REAR WINCH is building roads in the rugged terrain of Montana’s Lolo National Forest. Exact date is unknown, but believed to be 1947-1948. Reverse side is another print of a TD-24 cable bulldozer pushing coal in a Somerset, MA yard. Early crawlers, or “track-laying machines†as they were often called, originated with Holt and Best in 1904 and 1913 respectively, followed by Cletrac in 1916 and International Harvester around 1924, with the McCormick-Deering 10-20 and 15-30 crawlers. The diesel powered TD Series was introduced in 1932, with TD-24 production beginning in 1947. The TD-24 weighed nearly 2 tons more than the competing Cat D-8, and had more than 5,000-lbs. more drawbar pull. Finally in 1959 the TD-25 replaced the TD-24. This is a print carefully removed from a book on vintage crawlers, not a copy, printed on good quality paper. The image is clear, showing a good deal of detail, as a print in a good quality book should be. All edges are good, no rips, no marks, no mildew. This print is in mint, like new condition. .... any questions at all, please feel free to contact me. I try to be prompt with my email responses. (please look at our rules and privacy policy) |
