This 1950s Allis Chalmers HD5 bulldozer had been abandoned on a farm in rural New Zealand for over 15 years after its starter motor failed.
The starter was beyond repair, with no replacement available, nature took over—complete with a tree growing in the cab and a wasp nest in the exhaust!
My friend Jamie spotted it from the road and we couldn’t resist the challenge.
In this video, we will attempt to bring this vintage dozer back to life.
