Allis Chalmers HD 5 G Tractomotive Track Loader

In this video I take a look how the Allis Chalmers HD5 crawler was modified, in particular how Tractomotive Corporation turned them into a front end loader. Then I take a HD 5G loader with backhoe attachment for a spin, and play in the dirt a bit.

I found this article one of the most useful for HD5 information, but its still wrong about the transmission... https://contractormag.co.nz/classic-machines/tractors/hd-5/
