D4 2T FS near Houston, TX $1,000 WWII SN: 2T7993SP was created by FrazierW19
I believe it is a 1944 D4 2T. SN:2T7993SP I went down a rabbit hole researching it and basically all I know I learned on here in the last hour.
So, here's the skinny on the Dozer and two scoops of rambling... I'm in the middle of starting a non profit project to train Veterans in indoor farming, from growing to business to helping them build shipping container gardens on site then relocating it to where they will go into business. Some friends have generously provided some space on their horse farm for us and in part of that area sits the Dozer we currently speak of and I'm in charge of finding it's new home... with my research on here showing it's a war vet that has seen better days I would feel a bit hypocritical sending it to the scrap yard, so I would like to find it a good home instead, but we have our first two shipping containers coming in next week and landing right there so I'm hoping to find it a new home quickly.
It ran about 2 1/2-3 years ago, the pony motor went out in it and before they got a chance to get it up and running the first flood took out their home and buildings, about a year after that they were about recovered from the flood and ready to get it running again when Harvey came, yep, all 160 acres under water again. The Dozer itself was parked on the concrete pad it sits on now for both floods, the water line on the building beside it shows the water only came about 12-18 inches up the tracks. After reading on here I found that it was a WWII era model, not sure how to check if it saw service but it has the green paint underneath.
Asking $1,000, if that number is somehow way off the mark I would greatly appreciate it if someone would let me know... preferably someone not currently haggling to buy it
It is located in Simonton, TX which is about 45 minutes outside of Houston.
Best way to get in touch with me is via text, you're welcome to call but I get reception about 5% of the time out here on the farm so be prepared for voicemail. 346-772-7850 Thanks! --Wes
