- Firing up the 1929 Caterpillar 60, then taking it for a quick spin to its shed. The 60 was powered by a four-cylinder, overhead valve gasoline engine that produced 60 horsepower at the belt and 35 horsepower at the drawbar. The 60 was a 72-inch gauge machine and weighed 20,500 pounds. The Sixty was famous for its overhanging radiator, individually mounted cylinders, lever controls, and open clutch. The Sixty was used to pull farm equipment and road scrapers. Later, cable lift blades were rigged up, so that the crawlers could be used as a bulldozer. The Sixty was the largest tractor in Caterpillar's product line at that time.Caterpillar produced model Sixty tractors in San Leandro, California through 1930 and in Peoria, Illinois through 1931. In total, 18,948 Sixty tractors were manufactured during twelve years of production. The Caterpillar Sixty was originally introduced for sale beginning in 1919 as the C. L. Best 60 Tracklayer, manufactured by the C. L. Best Tractor Company. The Best 60 was the most successful tractor in the Best model line. After the 1925 merger of the C. L. Best Tractor Company and the Holt Manufacturing Company that formed the Caterpillar Tractor Company, the Best 60 was renamed the Caterpillar Sixty. Pioneer Acres Museum, Irricana, Alberta.
Thank You for sharing this important part of history. Caterpillar Tractors were an Important part of California History; they helped develop outstanding Agri-Businesses that supplies food for the world market; excellent performance in Building Airports, Canals, Dams, Road Construction; Logging and more. In my younger days, I was fortunate to own a CAT Model 20 Orchard tractor and an RD-4 Diesel top seat. They gave several years of dependable and reliable service.
The metod for to start is very very very dangerous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!........... but just!!!!!!.....
Not too bad when you practice a bit, but yeah.
Me and the boys pulling up in the 1990 silverado with 3 misfires and half a clutch
Haaa😆
Wow.....I would hate to eat that bar
Oh yes.
Love those old crawler tractors awesome what you folks are doing making these videos and showing this stuff is really important cause without you all doing this a lot of people wouldn't know what these are
+slantfish65sd Thanks so much, that is why we do what we do.
That's what you call a classic vehicle.
WOW... WHAT AN AWESOME PIECE OF HISTORY!!! Thank You for keeping her alive and the fantastic video!!!
Thanks so much.
Very nice Caterlillar 60, the sound of the engine, how pretty it is, the sound is the same as a mod of the game Farming Simulator 2015, but there is not the same tractor, but called Stalinec 60, exactly the same sound, even when the engine is started it inserting a rod into the hole and start the engine, and also to scrape bands, just the sound, but I mean, it's a very nice piece of preserved tracked tractor brand from Caterpillar.Komentar I wrote using Google translate, so you please forgive some errors translation.
The Stalinec 60, also called Stalinez 60 is the soviet replica of the cat 60. There are some differences between the Stalinez and the Cat.
@@franzburgstaller7417 yes, the differences were there, stalinec 60 had, I think, one more smaller reserve tank above the main fuel tank, to have at home either such a caterpillar 60 or a russian newer version of stalinec 65 with a diesel engine, that would be great.
I'm writing through google translator, so maybe there are some typos in the translation.
fascinating machine!
Very cool to see something like that working.
Hi Rainhill,
Thanks for the upload, and what a wonderful ‘toy’ to mess with! You lucky man.
Thank you, I am quite lucky.
Very nice machine. Caterpillar really knows how to make dozer. Sounds like those tracks could use a bit of oil though. But all in all very nice Cat I'm impressed.
Deere_ Dieselman_4630 I learned a long time ago not to oil tracks it makes a great grinding compound with the dust and wears out the pins and bushings
Cool machine!
Very Nice ! :)
these things are so cool lol
awesome video. thanks!!
Well thanks for watching.

Just wondered if there is a storage compartment under the seat?
I believe so.
There is one of those at a little show north of Westby,Wi,.
Good to hear there are others.
Is that flywheel bar factory equipment? I would've thought the original would have been a 'can-opener' bar, with back-angled hooks that would slip out of the holes when the engine kicked over. That straight bar could wreck the operator AND the engine.
The bar is original equipment, they cast the holes in the flywheel with a slight taper to one side so it would slip the bar out easier when the engine fired.
@@Rainhill1829 Thank you for the explanation. Still looks VERY dangerous.
