  • A detailed demonstration of the startup of a late nineteen-twenties Caterpillar model Sixty. During it's years of production, the 60 was the largest crawler in Caterpillar's catalogue, weighing in at 19,000lbs. Built from 1925 until 1931, the 60 was a highly successful design that Caterpillar inherited from the C. L. Best Tractor Company when the Holt Manufacturing Company merged with the former to create the Caterpillar Tractor Company in 1925. C.L. Best had began building the 60 in 1919. Powered by a massive inline four cylinder engine displacing 1128.2 cubic inches (18.5 litres), the sixty developed 72 flywheel horsepower at a mere 650 RPM. Top speed is stated at 3.6mph (5.8km/h). The sixty excelled at both industrial and agricultural jobs and continued to do so long after machines where fielded to replace it. Pioneer Acres Museum, Irricana, Alberta.

    Stumbled upon this place while on a road trip with my wife. Talked her into going. She was bored to tears and we walked around for almost 5 hours and I didnt want to leave grinning war to ear. We were the only people there in september a few years ago and the people were kind enoughto let us tour the truck restoration exhibit on our own. What an amazing collection. Had a great time. Thank you

    Great video! Really enjoyed seeing it as my grandfather had one of these machines with a dozer. Never understood why he sold it until I watched this startup routine. He replaced it with an Allis Chalmers HD7 and later replaced that with the Caterpillar D4 that I still have. Alot of work done by crawlers over the years.

    Beautiful. I wonder how many accident people had back in the day. Also I do guess they were more patient working with slow equipment. In the end it's sound like music drum's

      It was definitely a different time, you needed to have your wits about you.

    great clip! lovely to see how many safety features are incorporated into the design. what's the psi rating on the radiator cap?

      Thanks, it's an interesting design. The cooling system is atmospheric, no pressure at all.
