Anybody remember the great bulldozer adventure? I went down to the N.C./S.C. line on rt.38 with an RGN trailer and picked up an Allis Chalmers bulldozer. The man I was picking it up for rode with me, as it was only supposed to be a day trip. But, you know how plans go sometimes. His brother was bringing the dozer up from S.C. and blew about 3 tires on his trailer before he got there with it.
Anyhow, the brother called me yesterday and wanted to know what I thought the truck he brought it up there with might be worth. I told him I really didn't know, but I would ask around. He's in his 80s now and wants to sell his C500 Kenworth. He's not going to give it away, and isn't trying to get rich off it either, he just wanted to know about what to ask.
It's a 1978, with 91,000 miles on it. It's really more of an off-road or heavy haul unit than an over the road tractor. It's pretty unique, and a real collector's item. He put a sleeper on it and it has an 855 Cummins in it. He said it was a 230 Cummins originally but he added a turbo and said it has around 275hp. now.
I took these pictures when I picked up the bulldozer. This was in February, 2016.
Anybody have any thoughts about it?
