Why I said ROPS ? is back then there was no such thing - brush guard or sun roof - yes but that pipe on the machine is all anchored on sheet steel not to the machine frame or solid structure. ROPS needs to be designed to support the weight of the machine - and tested and certified. Tracto-Motive made the loader version the G series loader for AC -until AC bought them out . All the other attachments were certified by AC to be used on the machine but not supplied by AC - so configuration of the dozers was a mix of companies supplying different designs from cable units to hydraulic.

Thank, for the nice comments guys. The engine was still running when it was parked for ,we think a steering clutch problem, but it's been awhile. The truck is one of our precast septic tank delivery trucks (you know are day job) and it's more fun draggin ACs around than setting septic tanks (doesn't pay as well though). As Coke said it still has the original 271 Detroit. The canopy or ROPS as it appears were all after market or home made back then. It was up to the dealers to do that. When you bought an HD5 new it was just a tractor unless it was the loader version. The blades were all aftermarket also. AC used Carco, Baker, Garwood and ATECO to name a few.

ROPS ? brush guard would be what this would be called. All the mount points are on thin metal areas of machine. 2-71 is the engine used stock. have seen these machines with ford flathead and other such engines, but a 2-71 will do a lot of work and pinch fuel.

Tracks look in good shape. Looked nice and tight when unloading. Is the ROPS manufactured or is that a home made setup. What engine does this one have?

Love the truck and trailer, love the wheel loader, love the HD5. Tracks look really good, is it a runner? Nice score, Trev.
