  • In this video, were going over the history and story behind a 106 year old tractor, from 1918! These tractors were 13ft x 6ft x 8ft (L x W x H), manufactured specifically for WWI, and were primarily used to move heavy machine artillery. Weighing 12,600lbs fully armored, they were able to pull over 8,000lbs of equipment. There were around 6,000 ordered by the US Military, and the one you see in the video above was the 1,843rd made. Hope you enjoy!

    Great effort, guys! It fought you every step of the way but it was good seeing it roll out into the light of day after resting in that shed for so long. The editing here was on point as well 👍

    My grandfather drove one of those in France during the Great War. Pulled cannons to the front lines. One day the Germans were shooting back. He delivered the gun, bypassed the engine governor and hightailed it out of there. Ran full throttle until the engine blew up and started walking. War ended before he was assigned to another tractor.

      We plan to keep as much of the 'patina' as possible! Our plans with it as of right now is to just get everything into working order. Expect a video about that coming soon!!

    I think you're all lucky that man remembered he had left it in reverse after backing it in so many years ago! That flywheel turning so easily is a good sign.

    The problem with the rigging is that the end of the cable needs to terminate on what you're pulling. Otherwise it's a fancy looking two-to-one, not a three-to-one.
    Recovery school taught me a thing or two.

    Are you going to restore this tractor? That would be cool! But I guess you would have to fabricate any replacement part or have someone else do it, as I would guess no one would have parts for a 100 year old tractor that sounds like it was rare when it was new. Will look forward to seeing any updates on it.

    • @se-films
      @se-films  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      As I'm sure you know, plans could change, but as of right now, we're going to try and keep the patina of the tractor since it took 100 years to look the way it does now, and just get everything on it in a good working order. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

    It didn't really help when you had the "3part line" that you tried to shorten the trailer with 10k pound winch pull instead of Hocking the 3. Part to the tracktor and actually having 30k pound pulling the tracktor

    The Two Piece Track Roller Frame design is not dissimilar to the Rocking Bottom Roller Bogies of todays CAT Dozers with the same Goal in mind to get more Track on the ground.

    bit of overkill the size of the trailer to the size of the old tractor.......

      Yea, winches can be dangerous if not used correctly. That's so cool! I always love the old stories that go along with tractors like these!
