1929 Caterpillar SIXTY Bulldozer | Start-up, Pushing Dirt
Vložit
- čas přidán 12. 07. 2022
- Startup of a 1929 Caterpillar Sixty Bulldozer and the Cat 60 pushing a little dirt. The Caterpillar Sixty is a 60 hp crawler tractor, powered by a four-cylinder engine and was the largest tractor in Caterpillar's product line when manufactured from 1925 until 1931. Initially, the Cat Sixty was used to pull farm equipment and road scrapers. Later, cable lift blades were rigged up, so that the crawlers could also be used as a bulldozer.
This video footage was taken at the "Weiach Historik 2022" an event held in the Swiss quarry of Weiacher Kies AG May 28/29 2022 dedicated to showcasing historic, vintage and heavy old construction machinery and equipment of past times.

Love dem Caterpillars!!!!! worked the Decatur, IL plant for 33 yrs. What a career!!!! I'd never seen a start system like that;... Thanks.
A testament to the CAT 60 and 30 is how many are still around and running. This one appears to have a clutch issue, so it can't push much, but that's fixable. Engine sounds healthy.
My grandpa restored a 1929 Cat 20 in the late 70s… nice machine here!!
GORGEOUS !!
WHAT A GIFT FOR A KID
OF ANY AGE !!!
What amazes me is how many years it has taken Caterpillar to understand that a worker will work more efficiently if he or she is not wet, freezing, and that a cab is a cool thing.
You really think Cat wouldn't make enclosed cab equipment if the buyer wanted to buy it?
What's amazing to me is that almost 100 years ago how much they had gotten right. This thing may not be as efficient as a modern dozer, but it's ready to go to work tomorrow.
Burn about anything you can light with a spark plug, too. Back then a lot of farm tractors were started on "distillate" (gasoline)(66 octane back then) and then got switched to "power fuel" when hot. Octane was so low on the power fuel that the engine would knock. So there was a valve where you could let all or any amount of radiator steam go in the carburetor to quiet it down.
Cast iron pistons. Turned slow. Big simple parts. A little knock ain't going to phase it.
Здарова индеец 😊
And with no hydraulic fluid involved.
All mechanical.
These machines were very well thought out indeed.
@Solitaryconfinement There was no waiting for cam, turbo or VTEC to kick in, either. Atmospheric pressure falling into the four 8.5 inch deep, 6.5 inch diameter cylinder-holes was all the charging apparatus needed back when you had an 1128 cubic inch gas-burner at 650 max rpm.
Did you watch the video? I can't push more than a couple cupfulls of loose dirt. And good luck keeping up with that blade.
Amazed to see an old tractor still power and can do work.
The best thing to me, other than this amazing piece of history, is that it's being passed onto to the next generation to care for it with the young man in the cab.
What a beautiful machine! Great restoration!!
Tack för ett bra program 😃😃😃
@Göran Sandström - Great to get some feedback from "up north" and glad to read that you like it! :-)
C'est avec les vieilles casseroles qu'on fait la bonne cuisine 😂 chapeau l'ancêtre des bulldozer 😂👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
ahahahaha 🤣 "avec le vieille casseroles" m’a fait rire. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Man, that thang sure is purdy !..........Thanks
Seeing the guy trip at 1:17 in the background did it for me. Awesome video.
I remember a nursery near French Camp, California that had at least four of these early Caterpillars.
What a gorgeous old machine !
I saw one just like it as a static display at a Ranch gate in Wyoming. Nice old machine.
They are works of art
Very good
Thank you for the video
Fantástico 👏👏👏
Beautiful
Спасибо за видеоролик.
THat thing is so cool! I'm surprised at how easy it is to start it
The main reason is that it is done frequently. The death of most heavy equipment is sitting and no maintenance . ChiefD
I like the individual cylinder housings would be so advantageous for replacing just 1 cylinder, much less expensive than an entire block.
Industrial diesels have replaceable cylinder liners, not much different than the exposed barrels on this machine.
@Rezqewr I wasn't referring to a liner I meant an entire cylinder like when a rod goes through it
@@ReedSilvesan-Hardlineministry When a rod goes through the block there will be metal shavings in every oil port and gallery and thus require complete dissassembly anyway
@qwertzionist2076 well DUH but it doesn't require replacing the ENTIRE BLOCK
@@ReedSilvesan-Hardlineministry of course it does, if a rod goes it doesn't just disappear, i.e. making a hole in the bottom of the block
Я такие в 70-х в советском союзе видел, только название другое было, тоже тросовые, ещё и без кабины, в Сибири в 40-ка градусные морозы работали...
Сотку старую ты видел, челябинский бульдозер, но он был гораздо меньше по размерам, нож тросами управлялся, только почему без кабины, непонятно, да еще в минус 40.
@@riddikrizeborod Возможно, их сослали туда за то, что они спросили: «Кто мой вождь?»
I started work at a CAT dealer in 75 after school.one job they gave me was updating the parts microfiche,remember them? 60 model was there plus more i never seen nor heard of . Presumably the parts were available somewhere,pretty good.
Спасибо за видео. Интересно. Бульдозер из 1929
Super machine !
Love how you decided to change sides once you saw the fuel leak ;)
love it
Very good
Awesome :)
95 years old WOW !
That's a really good safety example for children: Stepping over a partially exposed, running flywheel, with an ID card lanyard dangling from your neck (3:30).
Cat 60 videos always remind of a great guy named Alan Smith from Wauconda, IL.
When ya bulldozer needs a strong coffee before getting outta bed.
Nice looking Sixty, Is the main clutch slipping a little?
I think so. Otherwise a great machine, he may be babying it until he can reline the clutch.
Nice video, likes from me ! ! !
Many thanks! :-)
Если бы мы так работали 😊
i was expecting you to be in a tie and top hat driving it to the job site, just like grampa/great grandpa used to do
The sixty also comes from the Cl Best side of the merger between Holt& Best. Dave D.
The cylindrical object on the RHS of the block that you were filming at the start of the video, is that an Autovac type fuel pump? I had one of those on a 1927 4½ litre Bentley and it aways had to be filled after standing for some time.
Вот откуда Сталинец родом и весь последующий ЧТЗ
Outro bando de Colonos que corta as legendas!!!
Operating that must have been hell! Sitting on a park bench, feets inches from the flywheel, zero vibration absorption and getting blasted with hot air from the rad.
Not so bad. One of Cat's selling points was the padded couch, when others had steel seats.
She’s a beauty! I bet it’s a bear to start if it’s a little cold out!
Dunno its a gas engine not diesel... probably not that hard. You just have to prime the cups, release the compression bar it over, and close the compression release and bang its running...
Wasn’t the 60 also known as “Timber Cruiser”, In 51 I was working for the Natoma Gold Dredging Co which had one that I operated on occasion, hated starting the darn thing. Had a steep incline to coast start it.
Talk about a good starting motor
My Grandfather had one.
if those old fellas knew what we have today, oh boy!!
These are the machines that will rebuild after and during the apocalypse. Lol
This is awesome, but man that guy just walking around that gigantic flywheel... That thing would send you flying and kneecap you if you happened to step on it, god forbid you get your pants caught in it.
would have been nice to see any load on the blade, and maybe a lower gear?
Let's see how you do on one of these old ones there, Mr. Perfect
Don’t want to wear it out. Lol!
I agree completely! Would’ve been nice to see this thing doing what it was built to do!
@@Species5008 Im not operating this one MR grumpy
Right after the clutch gets adjusted or relined. She'll be fine then.

Saw a Sixty on a Dyno one time...made about 75hp
And 7,750 foot pounds of torque, lol.
@@patrickshaw8595 power = torque * rad/s
this means it runs loooow of rpm and has anyway only 70 HP.
@@GioJonnhyK I graduated with a masters in physics in 1974, kid. I was being funny. Now run along.
@@patrickshaw8595 nope dude, lot of M0r0ns think what you wrote without knowing that power and torque are related.
@@patrickshaw8595 (so is way better add that)
At 0:21, was that a Foden dump truck in the back ground? Looks just like the Matchbox car I had!
@Wa3ypx - the yellow truck in the back at 0:21 is a Euclid dump truck. :-)

A clatterpiller!
Bet it can out work a lot of new dozers, today.
Nice old long stroke engine with more torque than my wife
Throttle her up bit..you ain't gonna hurt that old motor..
holt end best
nice to see but there is so much background noise it is difficult to hear the engine on this machine.
Заводилка чёткая, а как переводится ЕБИАНУМ?
Would like to see how big a load it can push
Right after renewing the master clutch.
How many people attended this and their parents told them to quit playing in the dirt and they're still playing in the dirt
horsepower: 25 torque: exactly 5 elephants worth
Take you half the day to start it and good luck finding parts
These machines came with compression release 90-degree petcocks 2/3 of the way down on each cylinder that had to be opened for starting and then closed ASAP afterwards. He didn't open or close anything so we got a small mystery here.
5:12?
hiss hiss. pop foot on flywheel to hold it.
flick some bar linking to... something.
pull on cranking bar...
looks like something got closed...
@@paradiselost9946 Good eyes. I'll take your word for it. The mystery was "I didn't know my eyes were that bad!"
More likely some of these came with/or guys made - a little system where all four petcocks were linked to one lever. Wouldn't have had to have been reachable from operator's position just on side of engine.
he definitely was using the compression release...
@@patrickshaw8595 look at 1:45… you can see them all linked together
@@tjlovesrachel You're sure right ! I worked for a paving/construction company for about five years that had a (running condition) one of these parked out front of it's office building. I could swear it's comp releases were separate and on the right hand side of it's massive engine.
But hey I also worked as an aircraft mechanic and - famously - "Thou Shalt Have The Repair Manual Open To The Correct Page When Repairing ANYthing Airworthy" - so yes I have learned not to trust anyone's recollection of a crucial fact - especially my own.
Is the Blade Genuine Equipment ??????- looks New construction
Hi James - yes, to my knowledge the Cat Sixty was available with blade too.
Didn’t know they ran on slim fast lol
God
8am, getting the Cat 60 started, 2pm finally going, 4pm time to knock off and go home!!!!
I would guess he was the wrong gear. I bet that engine has a very long stroke

Doesn't seem like it has much power judging from what little dirt it was able to push before bogging down. Given its age though, I guess she is just lucky to start up.
Suspect the main clutch is slipping, adjust or reline.

Schade, dass es so schlecht gefilmt ist, sonst ist es wirklich sehr interessant. C'est dommage que ce soit si mal filmé, sinon c'est vraiment très intéressant.
@Ricco Delastaque - Es freut mich zu hören, dass der Inhalt als interessant taxiert wird! Kann man besser filmen? Natürlich, das wird wohl immer der Fall sein. Vieles hängt jedoch auch von den Umständen vor Ort ab. ;-). Je suis heureux d'apprendre que le contenu est jugé intéressant ! Peut-on mieux filmer ? Bien sûr, ce sera toujours le cas. Mais beaucoup de choses dépendent aussi des circonstances sur place ;-)
@@hu3raum Pas du tout, les circonstances n'ont rien à voir. La caméra reste fixe, le sujet bouge, pas la caméra, il suffit de regarder n'importe quel film ou vidéo ? Les zooms optiques sont également à proscrire, c'est quand même assez simple ?
Um richtig zu filmen, braucht man nur Standaufnahmen zu machen, wie im Kino und bei Video bewegt sich das Motiv, die Kamera bleibt fest. Auch optische Zooms sind zu vermeiden.
@Ricco Delastaque - Die Theorie hört sich einfach an, die Praxis jedoch - u.a. definiert durch die gegebenen Umstände - zeichnet aber oft ein anderes Bild. La théorie semble simple, mais la pratique - définie entre autres par les circonstances - donne souvent une autre image.
@@hu3raum Tenir une caméra immobile ou quasiment n'a rien de vraiment difficile
Sad the people who worked this cant see what it evolved in to
One of the only old tractor/excavators I've seen with a roof.
Sounds out of tune or something.
It said case 60. Then it had a sign? name of construction company? anyways she fired right up. very well taken care of or a really restoration job? I imagine both. Not a powerful bulldozer
It's a guy thing, unlike man buns.
Если на русском прочитать название трактора)
Starting it with a prybar looks dangerous. 😬
its designed to kick it out... but yeah.
I knew a guy that had a 60, and had a dent in his forehead. Lived many years after the accident.
Strating is very easy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.............................
Ya boss, we'll have her started by quitten time

That thing ain't nowhere near as easy to operate as new school
and one wouldn't expect it to be . 100 year old technology. But it beats what it replaced , mules and horses. Truly a beautiful old machine .
Man your intelligent

im a meat head I swear. I should have read first before writing lol

I doubt much work got done by these clunkers if the start up procedure was like
this every morning. Of course the guy trying to start it may not know what he's doing.

I bet it guzzels gas.
It is based on fuel per hour vs work accomplished...had an old tractor 6 cylinder that used 2 and a half gallons per hour...same as my 76 jeep...when diesel was cheaper bought a diesel tractor and saved...now diesel fuel is more expensive than gas! Now to use gasoline for off road use, you must file for a rebate..
I just recently got my 60 running. At a recent plow day it would use approximately 3 gallons to make one round on an 80 rod field pulling 5 bottom plow.
@@oldamericaniron5767 So an 80 rod field is 1/4 mi on one sdie, and a round would be somewhere between a 1/2mi to a 1 mi if the field is square... seems like a lot of fuel.
It uses a lot! The tank looks to be at least 50 gallons, maybe even 75 and the was supposed to be enough for 4 hours.
