  • Cat 60 hand starting, pushing a little dirt, and loading on a trailer.
    2017 K&O show
    The reason it's running so slow is the carburetor needed worked on but nobody had the time that year. The only time this thing ever runs is when it gets taken to this show.

    It is very awesome to me that a machine rapidly approaching 100 years old still works, and well enough to do real work if it was needed for it.
    To those who are saying otherwise, this engine sounds very healthy, with the exception of the fact that the operator was suffocating it to death.
    The trailer loading was PAINFUL. Why was he so dedicated to keeping it so suffocated? Open it up a little and it'll climb that trailer like it's not even there. She's clearly still sound; she can definitely take it!

      So, that's me in the video. This machine is a barn queen and has a sticky clutch, as well as some other issues. I never snap the clutch all the way in up that trailer as it can be very dangerous. I usually move this on an RGN.

    • @NOUSERNAMESLEFTFUUCK

      A lot of things built today will last longer than obsolete counterparts of the past. Many consumer products/industrial/commercial are engineered and manufactured at a much higher degree than in the past with superior materials, especially the latter two. It's true there's a lot of junk out there, but there's no need to make a sweeping generalization and deny some of the truly impressive modern engineering.
