I just recently got one of these little Jems. It was headed to the scrap heap and I traded for it. Looking forward to the challenge of getting it going and running it around
I want to find a caterpillar ten, and add it to my small collection of random old iron. It will take me a long time, but I'll snatch one up someday somehow. I love watching this guy work, he has a similar style of working to mine. Thorough, and passionate.
I wish they still made something like these, they'd be awesome for those of us who are hobby farmers. Little blade on the front, PTO, pull a little plow....they'd be awesome!
The wavy "art nouveau" Caterpillar on the rad is hilarious and make this sweet little tractor look even more like a toy. I wonder how that whimsical trade mark was ever sanctioned by the board for such serious equipment.
I remember what a disaster those lower track rollers were on this machine. I think it would be a fun machine to pull some draw bar implements with, like the tumble bug perhaps, or your little genius 2 bottom plow, or the spring harrow! I really enjoy the purr of that early Cat gasoline engine. Cheers Squatch!
Squatch, have you ever thought about using the little cat 10 to drag other projects around when you need to move them? It seems like it would be great for that job!
Looks like you've had a lot of fun there. Might exceed your limit be careful. I can see that being a first tractor for grandkids/kids and adults. Glad you had fun today. I hope you find a good starting engine in your save pile too!
I put dual tires on my harbor freight hand truck with (2) on the semi hard tires and a longer axle . Really easier to push and handles heavier loads ! FYI . Great Channel ! (stay safe you and your Dad )
I like the idea of putting parts in creates 👍i thank you for the idea i have so many parts that need to be stored in a dry place and away from the elements
Your little Cat ten evoked some memories for me because I have an old black and white image of a distant ancestor standing behind a Holt tractor holding a pair of long reins connected to the steering levers. Some years ago now I got yarning to a bloke who had a larger than normal and fully functional Holt on display at an annual state fair in South Australia. He told me some holts had eyelets cast on the steering levers because many early users preferred to walk behind a tractor as though it was a team of horses since they preferred to align furrows that way when they ploughed. The explanation sounded plausible enough to me not only because I have an image of an ancestor doing precisely that but I can't imagine any other reason for the eyelets I have seen being present on the levers! The owner of the same Holt also told me he was once approached by an American guy acting on behalf of a US collector who offered him a phenomenal sum of money for his unusually large and rare Holt but he refused to sell. Apparently he bought a vineyard and winery where the old machine was derelict as a display feature on a lawn where it had been slowly rusting away due to repeated exposure to a watering system. He said he managed to scrounge or repair sufficient parts to restore it to full function and was very attached to it.
Awesome little tractor. So looking forward to the pony engine rebuild. Purchased a pony supposedly running for my D47U but I don't want any trouble with it and will tear it down and freshen it up before installation. The previous owner held the latch engaged with a pry bar and broke the engagement lever or bent it so i can't use it anyway. Will pull the engine and fix it correctly so I can start it by myself. Keep up the good work and you looked like you were enjoying the ride a little bit much. Drag the tumble bug scoop and we can imagine that you were having to work.
Strangely, watching this video reminded a book I read about 50 years ago titled "Bulldozer" It was about a D2 found in the bottom of a lake, recovered and made operational again. Don't know why I never thought about that book during your D2 rebuild.
"Bulldozer Bill".Hesitate to say I read it too,on such a manly man channel.I read it a bunch! The author had another book-"T Model Tommy".I checked a few years ago and they wanted $60-70 for either one.Nostalgia isn't worth that!
I own a 1956 D4 that spent a large part of its life (including now) in a barn. I just hate to see them rot away in a field 1/10th as fast as modern inferior replacements.
Brakes are confusing unless you have an old John Deere or an Oliver or if you have any of the other popular old and new tractors This outfit would be easy if you are used to old Farmall tractors. Great video! Full watch and Like!
Hey Toby, It's really good to see you having fun and you don't appear tired and stressed. I think you should do this more often. Of course, easy for me to say,,,,,BUT if you stress yourself out and have the big one it is all for nothing then. Just want you to take care of yourself. I'm 78 and have a different perspective. Take C are of Toby. Hey!!!that sounds like a good name for a movement??? Anybody agree??????
That cat tens an awesome lil tractor for as small as it is my great grand dad had a little cletrack never knew the model just knew he always had trouble starting it had to use acetilyne and oxygen to get it to fire off due to a weak magneto

It's just a baby Caterpiggle! When it grows up it will turn yellow and sprout wings!
That's really is a beautiful looking machine and looks like so fun to drive and I would so love to drive a cat one day

If a dozer can be called "cute", I'd say the Cat 10 is cute.
Now this is a toy dozier for big boys it's just as cute as a bug!
Wouldn't mind having that little Dozer myself!
Beautiful machine. Spunky too
The 10 is a sweet little machine. Thanks for bringing us along
I wish they still made something like these, they'd be awesome for those of us who are hobby farmers. Little blade on the front, PTO, pull a little plow....they'd be awesome!
They're called a skid steer! :)
@@RangieNZ - HA, good point! No cool factor though
Did anyone else notice how easy that thing started after sitting all winter??? Some guys are just born to be mechanics!!!
Man i love that little cat. Rewatched all the old videos.👍👍
I honestly believe that little Cat is my favorite of all , what a sweet little machine . Please show it off more often and thanks for sharing .
Everybody has a machine they don’t play with enough but would never be without. Great videos 👍
I know this is a old post but this is a cool and small tractor that hardly takes up any parking space.
That looked like so much fun. Use it to go get mail and pull a little trailer for stuff that shows up at the mail box. ;-)
Custom order a Magliner hand truck with strap attachment, your back with thank you...10in foam filled tires too.

I have been looking for a hat with that logo. Can't find anybody who sells em. Not much demand apparently.
@@squatch253 beautiful, thanks squatch

I think this is the first time I've seen your CAT10 and it really has a nice pleasing sound to me. neat little tractor!
What a fantastic little dozer.
Man oh man, that Ten runs good, it was ten's series that made me subscribe
Learn something new all the time. That was a cute little cat.. did not know you had that. Thanks for sharing.
Very cool little Cat! Started right up, as well. Now that's something I could probably get by with owning. :-)
Squatch, have you ever thought about using the little cat 10 to drag other projects around when you need to move them? It seems like it would be great for that job!
God I love that darling Little treasure of yours a very beautiful machine and she lit right off with the greatest of ease
What a cool little machine! Sounds great.
Love that classic wavy cat logo.

Awesome! I was just wondering where the old girl was! Good too see it on the channel again!
Fun little tractor to drive it appears. Makes a heck of an aerator!! 😀
I like the idea of putting parts in creates 👍i thank you for the idea i have so many parts that need to be stored in a dry place and away from the elements
Its like a small skid loader, just needs a loader with quick attach and a hydrulic pump!
If Jack Sparrow was to answer this then this would be "More Better!" lol

A neat little unit.
I own a 1956 D4 that spent a large part of its life (including now) in a barn. I just hate to see them rot away in a field 1/10th as fast as modern inferior replacements.
Works well for shallow-tilling amusement-ride. Win-win.
Boy howdy that looks like a blast! Wish I had one.
Awesome little machine
Man I love that little thing!!
I'd like to see you drive to the grocery store and back on the Ten. Head turner for sure.
That Ten is a lovely little machine! :-)

Brakes are confusing unless you have an old John Deere or an Oliver or if you have any of the other popular old and new tractors This outfit would be easy if you are used to old Farmall tractors. Great video! Full watch and Like!
Good looking machine!
you need to pull a tree branch around behind that thing to cover your tracks.😉
I like the scrip on the radiator shroud it look cool
I thought for sure you were going to drive it around the field and write squatch in cursive with the track prints!😎
I love it!!!
A fun little machine for those tight places.
Cool little tractor....
That thing is sweet....love the vids...dont change a thing please
Nice Chevy in the background 👍
That was a cute one!!

Your 10 is awesome !!! It's just a little brother to our 15
I saw a D1 in a video yesterday. The man driving it was bigger than it. It kinda looked like a toy. All original colors with decals, etc....
That cat tens an awesome lil tractor for as small as it is my great grand dad had a little cletrack never knew the model just knew he always had trouble starting it had to use acetilyne and oxygen to get it to fire off due to a weak magneto
Thats awesome. mint 👌
Now that's a dandy little crawler; I'd love to have one like this, just to play with.
I have to say thank you I have my little Oliver dozer in my garage I’m starting to fix it up total rebuild instead watching doing
A toy cat for kids! LOL!
Anyone else half expecting Squatch to put rubber grousers on it and drive it to work?
Nice lil machine that one, would be fun!
Caterpillar 10 - Awesome - just put the maintenance tasks on the "To Do List"
That’s just awesome :)
Nice barn find.
Maybe some tract pads like on the Minneapolis Moline has to lessen the soil grooves. Then period blade or tumble bug for light close quarter work.
