 Topic: Is this HD7W stock or home made crawler?
Posted: 05 Oct 2019 at 8:57am |
I have never seen such a unit. Is this all Allis-Chalmers or something that was adapted for bare root tree harvesting? https://www.machinerytrader.com/listings/construction-equipment/for-sale/26779697/1950-allis-chalmers-hd7wThank you for your time to look or reply.

Bailey Nursery here had a HD4 set up the same way - they look wierd is all I can say . Who built the units ? I always figured they were shop built locally and not factory. Now trying to find parts for the old HD7 machines with a 3-71 is like finding hens teeth .

Yes Coke shop built. In 83 when at a Berco track dealer that also shared facilities with several independent mechanics. They were building a nursery tree lifter on a Cat D4 frame.

550JD.PNGWe have modified a number of them in our shop, as well as built from scratch. Clearance under the belly ranges from 4-8 feet, depending on what we are digging. The HD4 that was here I believe was done by Sweeney in the Twin Cities, MN. GK Machine in Oregon still builds a tall crawler from scratch. Pardon the off color attached, easiest picture to find.
