I ran a new one in 1978 for a few months in Ala. with that same size blade. Get off of it back onto a 9G and the 9 seemed like a small JD. I’m glad my career was in the hay days of surface mining where I got to operate so many different machines like this!

HI PA, just stumbled upon this video - now you have caught a rare bird for sure. I know just about only one D455 that that worked here in Germany - it was the unit shown at bauma 1977. Directly after the fair it went to work at a quarry in nothern Germany. Thanks for the in-detail docu, very well made. But your footage leaves one interesting detail open. The D455 used a center clutch, then two TCs and two D355 powershift transmissons. Komatsu promoted the ability of two seperatly propelled tracks - up to letting the tracks counterrotate. But in the cab, the D455 just looks like a normal tractor steered by clutching and braking. Just normal controls. Maybe some of the old chaps can clear this up? Keep the good stuff rolling, PA. I can learn a lot from your videos. Hope you can catch a D455A shifting some dirt one day!

Hi, PAMining. One comment - the steering controls do NOT 'apply' the steering clutches. Instead, they disengage those clutches in order to take power off that side track to allow the tractor turn. When the lever is pulled the rest of the way, as you said, it APPLIES the brake to further control the speed of that track or to stop it completely. Other than that, a good video and thanks for posting it. Just my 0.02 You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Still remember around 1970 at FFA camp they took us to see big Muskie and then to their reclamation project where they had 5 Allis Chalmers HD 41's going around the slope blade to blade..I think they told us that covered a hundred feet a pass..AEP had their own bus and driver you toured on so could get up close and personal..Really enjoy your videos

Thanks for this video on what is probably a unique machine. It is interesting that Komatsu ran 4 speed transmissions and Cat have stuck with 3 speeds.I have a 78 D9H and comparing to a 355 I am assuming it would be out performed in ripping. Be interesting to know how the 455 compared with the D10 .

THESE ARE MACHINES !!!!!! not the minis, and no the actual dozers also, too sophisticated for nothing. I love the old dozers and crawlers loaders. They work all times, in all weather conditions: not as not, with all stupids electronics components and hyd fan, many times with hyd fan pump and hyd fan motors broken

You can look right at that machine and see a lot of Caterpillar in it. Thing almost looks like a D9's big brother. Question, since dozers dont have a bucket per say, how do they come up with a cubic yard capacity for them? Is that how much material they can theoretically push before they break traction?
