This is machinery at its purest. Every single detail of it steals my heart. That low RPM sound is so very sweet to my ears. I'd love to smell the grease, oil and fumes. I must be careful now, the wife may become suspicious. After a couple of hours, that operators back must hurt crazy. Wonderful video, very appreciated.
Uuuuuuuuuu
Two thumbs up 👍👍 for crawler operators of times passed. And this young fellow has got it down pat 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Boy, you gotta be a real man to drive that thing around all day. Holy cow.
You should see someone run an old clutch over brake drag line!!!
Nearly as difficult as driving a team of draft horses trained for logging operations. Big powerful and when they go they go at a run from a standing start. You must keep up and avoid having a log dragged over you .you can be on either side of the log or if you're crazy you can stand on top.
Thats when men were men and sheep were scared!
@@cumulusvapes7 Definitely 😁👍 It Makes Me Laugh is really Nice
@@JorgeRodriguez-po7kx 😆
I like to think about the person who was able to get that when it was brand new and had never worked a day. Imagine how lucky that person would have felt to be able to have such a fine piece of new machinery
Many of us still had to be born and these machines were already working, it is incredible and they still work.
Great video and thanks for teaching the real mechanics.
Man that is too cool ! Love seeing history moving under its own power.
absolutely perfect! From the time of do it right or go home in a stack of shoe boxes! Back when a lost finger was a dock of pay and someone saying I bet you don't do that again!
Good to see the old machines working today.nothing like them.
I love the open, raw mechanicalness, I don't think that's a word but I don't know how those engines lasted in the environment they lived in.
Lp
I am sanctioning this to now be a word. Every time someone uses it on television you get a nickel. Truly a genius word. Cheers…
@@michaelvinciguerra4369 thank you Michael. I expect that the nickels will flow in a river of silver to my door.
Never knew that word existed yet i fully understood straight away
That is one sweet sounding engine. Might be a bit much having to listen to it working all day but sweet just the same.
And that's why so many early farmers and construction workers were deaf or hard of hearing.
Looks like it might have been hard on the back as well, but what a gorgeous beast it is!
Engine must have a boat load of low end torque
@@billhartl6601 -- Holt 45 is a 5 ton. It has a 425ci or 7.0L engine. Unfortunately I don't know the HP or torque specs. I believe Holt made this model from 1919 until 1925 or so. Wish I knew the torque spec though....
@@mmm365 -- Awesome, thanks!!
Go away with that Negativity! LoL!
Everyone should have one of those!
That engine is a site!!!! Wow goes to show that it don’t take all that technology and wiring and sensors to make an engine run💪
nothing better to end a day, then watching and listening to old iron work,
Imagine what the builders of that machine would say if they saw a current track tractor.! Their accomplishments of that era are amazing tho.
Probably wonder why there built so cheap. Those guys intended things to last.
@@devindraeger9769 modern machinery is objectively better in so many ways.
What a sound! So cool to see these actually working. I can't imagine actually working a whole day on one of these back then though
That sound is awesome!! You're also right about working on that all day. It would beat a person half to death. I have a 1952 Oliver crawler/dozer that I use occasionally. A couple hours on that and I can hardly walk. Well, I'm getting old too, LOL. But those old machines were not comfortable by any means.

WOW! Incredible,,, best action video in a long time. The man knew how to operate his tractor from top to bottom. WOW! again, thanks
A California original still in the same county as its birth place! Fantastic.
I love that the only concession to the fact a human has to drive this are that there’d is a place to put your bottom and that the clutch levers are vaguely next to it!
Yeah, talk about spartan.... LOL. The driver looks like hes whipping a horse at times... an iron horse. Lot of character in that machine... thats for sure.
Early 1900's and still runs!
The two piece bottom frame rail was really ahead of its time. That was the start of the D-11. Great video. I would be all over that piece of equipment. Looking, drawing diagrams. Awesome
Great video and that Holt in a true Gem! I have a 59 JD 730 diesel row crop tractor that I plow with for about a week every year with and its like being set free out in the field, the sound, the air all the smells it certainly just gives your mind a true rest!
The old popper??
Ah, the exhilaration of ancient rusty iron coming to life!
Dang that sounds so great! Simpler times!
What a beast! Sounds absolutely beautiful too
Music to my ears.
Seeing the driver so far off the back makes him seem like having a space for the driver was just an afterthought in the design of this giant machine
Damn! that ole girl sure ran good! and the torque!!
It runs so darn nice! Like it's supposed to.
Keep them alive !! Pure heritage
I really impressed how well and quick he slewing clutches work,I do'nt know why I thought early machines suffered from poor steering, Probably my vague understanding of WW1 British tanks which was very crude in that department. Best and Holt had a head start and considersble expertise. Brilliant video
Early caterpillar crawlers were pretty snappy too
If I recall correctly tanks had two steermen and had to change gears to turn. Look up the tank chats/British tank museum channel.
@@pvtimberfaller Steering with braking each side of a differential subtracts power because the stalled driver causes increase in the rotational speed of the opposite free driver. In effect you change up to a higher speed but less powerful gear to the free driver. The secret is to allow momentum, then snatch on the brake lever in several short stops rather than just drag on it and rely on the engine alone to power the free driver around. External brake bands are a little self-energising in forward direction. They tend to be less efficient in reverse. Modern machines with hydraulic motors add power to the free driver in a turn. It is indeed wonderful stuff. It is terrifying to imagine what that machine would do to a driver going over a crest then dropping down on the other side. Sitting so far rearwards of the centre of pitch motion, the driver would be launched. There is a lot of exposed mechanism just waiting to embrace him on landing.
Yeah I do know a wee bit driven D8's of most vintages day after day to earn me corn !together with Fiat's, Trak marshalls and Landini/MF on the farm, In fact early British Tanks had 2 bokes each with a spanner in hand nick named "lefty and righty"
For such a big old machine , nifty in the right hands , lovely slow - down big cylinder engine note .
Woo-hoo! You go Brian Baker!
Get some!
If my dad was still alive? I know he would be out there with you!! He was in construction for 44 years!! Started as laborer all the way to an operator.
Here we see the origins of the continuous tracked vehicle which Ben Holt of Stockton Ca. later named the "caterpillar" tractor. Holt was in mostly continuous competition with CL Best tractor company until their merger in 1925 to create the Caterpillar Tractor Company, now one of the largest heavy equipment manufacturing corporations in the world.
The Holt family still sells Caterpillar equipment out of San Antonio, TX.
ONE HELL OF A COLLETION
Love the tiller steering.
I love the sound of that old girl!! You are braver than I, that seat looks a bit unsteady, easy to fall from.
Just love to watch her moves.
I love thiff old stuff.
No engine sounds sweeter than low RPM and muffler free. A days work on this tractor would be a DAY'S WORK!. But imagine how much more you get done with this and a plow than a team of horses.
I think that in it good days it ran a little smoother that this.Not that now it doesn't run well.Those things were built to last.
Such a shame that I live so far away from your location. I would just love to come and see your great old iron. Have to admit I am jealous of the old track machine.
Technology at its rawest...........love it !
That is an awesome machine! Dusty, Dirty, and Dangerous but looks like a whole lot of fun!
I would love to visit and meet this guy. This guy could probably fix anything. People like this are far and few between. Very good video, thanks for sharing 👍🏼
That thing sounds great!
Beautiful Sound! 👍❤️
amazing low end torque, its not even working hard ,love it 👍
I love how the magneto is 4 horseshoe magnets with a rotor inside.
Operator has to be agile, athletic, and focused. Quite a dance - while "seated."
Telephone magnetos have a very similar construction.
They sound so good when they're workin' hard as they can
wonderfull machine! Thanks for sharing. Cheers from France
I love this sound
Wow what a machine
What a marvellous machine, built before Push-Rod Lubrication. 60 years ago I ploughed a 40 acre field with a Fordson Major that had the same Sprung Seat, we merrily bounced from dawn to dusk.
what a wonderful machine.
Beast of a machine
That is so cool love them old machine
Love the cup holder.
Nice sounds
Amazing wonderfull maschin!
I was just at a great antique Small engine show in Waterford California at our friend DJ's place and there was a holt 👍
One wild ride ,
what a beast!
Very cool.
that " Safety Starter " is genius .
Holy Smokes one thing to see a picture but seeing running , no wonder my Grandfather loved his job , look at that beast Purrring, hes steering a pissed off bull, lol
Cool tracks, I'd be a bit nervous to say the least going in reverse with that flimsy seat. One bump or buck to knock you off and you get crushed under a track if you aren't quick to recover.
I sure love looking at older equipment and seeing all the hazards no guards around moving parts. Yet the old timers made it and lived to tell the story. Unlike people today that have to have “hot”stamped on there coffee cup from McDonald’s.
Fun fact: the coffee from that infamous lawsuit was between 160-180F. You could try dumping a cup of that in your lap just to see what happens. Also lots of old timers didn't make it or ended up maimed for life. All it took was a little fatigue and a miscalculation.
@@shawnbottom4769 Yup, survivor bias. The old timers who were killed by their tractors aren’t here to talk to us.
😂😂😂👍👍👍
Increibleee
What an impressive machine.
It almost has a menacing look to it.
It's kind of hard to imagine now, but approximately I'm 100 years ago, a bunch of farmers in a barn somewhere we're looking at that machine when it was brand new thinking about how high-tech it is. I'm sure they weren't using the term Hi-Tech, but that's what they were thinking.
Something about old iron that i just enjoy
very good
A smooth running engine
Amazing. And a petrol engine too!
Sou fascinado por máquinas antigas... São simples duráveis... onde passa chama a atenção. Na minha concepção melhores que as novas.
It runs and drives!!!
I would love to have this lol
That old cat just screams smooth.
I'd love to ride one of that!
👍👍👍 ❤️ thes machines ! 👍👍🤛🤛🤛
The sight and sound of history of track layer machines! How far have we come. Computer software junk! Give me the older version and I will be happy 😊! They still do the job! Just you have to use your head and some good old muscles! No emissions crap . The good old days.
Verry nice♥️♥️
Salt and iron, awesome!
One of two ever assembled
Is that a holt moto or something else?
Is the guy sitting or standing? Just messing, I love seeing this stuff
Don't fall off the seat when you're going backwards!
Was thinking the same. Those things was build before they invented the word "safety regulations"
if happen,its unlikely that NTSB&FAA will be involved in thorough investigatio..
Nice
Simple times Low rpm rhythms to my ears ❤️
Ain't it
Bob Yates yup 👍
How did they keep pushrods, rockers, and valves clean and oiled working in the dirt like that?
That is one healthy engine
I Love it 😁 Because all the Differents Gears and the Belt driving the Radiator Fan That's One-Massive Four Cylinder BTW I Wonder From What Year is it
She’s a wild bit of kit lol
Amazing video! Great machine and super engine sound! Thumbs Up & Subscribe

This man is know in the area for obtaining items by less than legal means.
This is what a dozer should sound like!
I lived and worked on a ranch in south Texas 40 years ago or so with the nearest neighbors 5 miles up the road. Many was the night I went sleep to the sound of a hit-and-miss engine at night that was miles away but carried many miles on the dead still air! Not shure what it powered but I figured it had to do with oil wells. Occasionally I would here something that sounded like a massive jet taking off on the middle of nowhere and later found out that they were bleeding air from a natural gas pipe line! Great excitement when you go for weeks with absolute quite, except for the coyotes at night. Well also those nap of the earth flying airplanes going to and from old Mexico!!!
Is that a magneto on the right side of the motor ?
Wow I wonder what those machines are for? Cool.
Are you guys out in the Tracy California area?, I feel like I've been to your place in my lifetime...
