Was thinking it was diesel Nick but yea spark plug holes are for sure.

Very cool look back in the day, Jake! What little I know of Bucyrus sounds like they build tough long lasting machinery.

B.E. made steam shovels back in the day, there is also a connection with Britain, they have Bucyrus Rushton, who also made steam shovels.

Bucyrus also made underground equipment.

I was thinking my Son's was diesel. I will have to check with him and see what size it was and gas or diesel. I remember it looking like yours. Especially the blade and lift arms.

Probably two different head gaskets..although IH had some unique motors back then.

I'll see if it's still hanging where I remember it being. You can have it for the postage if it's the right one for your needs.

Thanks Chris.

It is gas. T9 was gas, TD9 was the diesel version.

There was also a T6/TD6 that looked similar, but was a little smaller.

Yeah, I would guess they probably are different.

You’re right, like starting on gas and then switching over to diesel. Seems like my brother in-law had a M or Super MD that did that. He called it a low compression diesel.

Yea that's the one I was thinking about. Still don't know how that worked..

Engine had to reach normal operating temperature before you could switch to diesel. The compression ratio was too low to ignite the diesel when the engine was cold. Some earlier tractors did the same thing before switching to kerosene which was called power fuel. Some of those tractors had manual shutters in front of the radiator to help keep the temperature up.
