- This tractor had sat in a shed since 1963 I brought it home last year and got it running. The first time it starts, i just let it run from what was in the carburetor, so it doesn't run long. The second start its running from the vacuum tank. It's needs some fine tuning yet but I'm happy with how it turned out. thanks for watching!

Love the dead mice shooting out of the flywheel at 1:23
I'm guessing that ain't Bruce's first rodeo.
God bless you Son.
Thanks for saving that giant! Sounds great!
Cherish the old iron my friend, no one else will, great stuff, congrats.
No kidding, that Cat is cool. Love it
i was a Cat skinner back in the 70s , on an old spread with lots of sheaves and pullys. I loved the old stuff.
And in the next video you can see him thrown through the roof still clutching the metal bar! 😜 Great video. Thanks for sharing it.
I love seeing these old machines brought back to life great job!
It"s amazing how little of a turn over old engines need to fire off!
What a beauty. Nice find!
The 'ol girl sounds great! Good work.
What a cool machine! Love the sound.
One hell of a starter motor ,well done !!!!!
it is very very very dangerous operation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...............
Jean German Uboats also used similar rod in hole on edge of flywheel to kick them over if they did not have enough compressed air for cylinder air injection.
all your hard work paid off. keep up the good work.
Congrats, love that old sound.
Did you forget to turn on the gas? Brass pushrod tubes? Beautiful machine!
Beautiful old Machine and sounds great.
Can you please tell me if the tracks on the machine are the more modern type Bruce ?? The machine looks good fella.
Awsome machine, nice job
Dig it. Nice shop too. Stay awesome.
Excellent. Sounds as good as new.
Awesome!!! Love old machines!!! Just subscribed!!! Keep Rocking it out!!!
Great job!
Nice work! Congratulations!Wish I could have an "accident" like that... She's a beauty!
Magnificent work.
You've heard, "That guy has a green thumb, everything he touches GROWS!' Well, here's a guy w/a greasy thumb...every he touches starts & runs....eventually!
Very cool man nice job!!
Great machine!
That old motor .....be like Lazarus 👍👍👍
THE RADS LIKE A ANTIQUE CLOCK NICE
That is awesome !
Like the mopar sigh on the Wall.
Built to last. Just like everything now....right?
Yea for as long as a American marriage.
that thing hasnt been started in 56 years and yet listen to that old 4-cylinder CAT engine
It sounds good
Love the split exhaust manifold, even though the crooked rear stack bothers me lol. She sounds real nice, and I love the patina.
Thanks, the exhaust drove me nuts too, so I added a small spacer to keep them the same.
Real machines
Live forever.
music to my ears
So it's pretty much been started once per year since 1963, cool.
I got a question for you fella. When did Caterpillar go diesel ???
Awesome 👍
Well done , shows that it took iron men to work those machines .
That's nice!!!!
She's a beauty.
Awesome!
Magnifique !!!!!
So awesome...Safety 3rd!
My god is that all it took to turn and start it? I was thinking it at least needed a fly wheel to build up some momentum like old tiger tanks needed to start
Neat !!
Respect
Now that is a lake maker😂
👍has it the original paint to? Wery nice.
The Cat that made Cat. The 'Mighty Sixty'.
How do you prevent the bar to get stuck in the flywheel and blow the whole thing into pieces?
Mariano Adolfo Nardi The holes in the flywheel are angled in such a way that the bar slides up and tilts back out as it starts turning.
Super 👍
Punctuation is everything
Cool
Be nice to know the size of that engine
Another one saved! Is that the normal starting routine? Looks a bit dangerous. 😀
Hay Bruce good vid.Is that the normal way of starting one?
cheers
When it fired at 1:30 it blue some rodent nest out of the engine somewhere.
That smile tho hehe Awesome
I guess my question is how did you get it in the shed?
Did you ever get the fine tuning done on this machine?
👍👍👍👍
How old is this machine? I didnt see any other videos on your channel about this one. Know its history?
This Cat is a ‘29. I found it by accident talking to a fellow at a engine show. I was able to purchase the tractor from the grandson of the original owner. It was used mainly to pull a combine in the Pacific Northwest. It’s been used very little as near as I can tell. It was stuck when I brought it home. Previous owner said they would get it out once a year a drive it around. Then in ‘64 they found it was stuck so they just left it in the shed until I came around.
Do you still have this 60?
Carburetor? I never knew Cat used gas engines.
that thing needs a pony motor.
When was this Cat built?
Maybe late 1920's or early 1930's
Diesel??
Gas
Would someone be so kind to tell me what he is cranking just before starting? Sorry to be so dumb!
That is the engines flywheel, there is no starter so you must bar the engine over manually
Good question.
Bruce Petty Is that how all of these model Cats were started?
Well, you inspired me to look up Cat 60! For some reason, I don’t think that starting system with an open flywheel just in front of the operator’s feet is gonna meet OSHA standards. :)
@Kathleen Shaw my deceased father years ago told me how some British Singles and twin piston motorcycle would do this when you kick start them into place then turn the key on. Love the old engines
Kathleen Shaw Wow! Thank you for sharing all this information! I understand how it works so much better. Thank you!
Is she in any shape yet to go for a walk, put some load on her? I'm sure the rings would be happy if you could get the old girl doing some work.
I cringed when you stepped over the flywheel
Carburetor?? Seriously, man?? Give us just a tiny bit of credit, please!! Other than that, great job and congratulations!!
It's not a diesel engine
not made in china lol
Damn right not made in China! Peoria Illinois USA! this cat 60 it was made in i’m pretty sure I’m not entirely
