Quoting Removed, click Modern View to seeThat was a Allis HD-10.

I had an identical one for many years, these are tough machines alright.

I had another one like it sitting abandoned in the bush edge of a field when i bought the place, apparently it had sat there for 15+ years with a crown and pinion that had lost a couple teeth.

I had my son pull it home one day with the tractor, i was in the seat(whatever was left of it)of the cat and going down the driveway i pulled it into gear and released the clutch to see if it would turn over. To my surprise it did and started belching crud and water and oil from the stack and after a couple more yards it came to life smoking like a coal fired loc.

The fun did not last long though, it started knocking and seized solid shortly after

I found out later that there had been a mouse nest on top of one piston that busted the piston and broke and jammed a rod.

I suspect the one in the Alaskan story was in a similar shape.
