1929 Caterpillar SIXTY starting and pushing dirt 

If rather watch and listen to that thing than see the Avengers or anything on Netflix.

Incredible old machine, and what a clever starting process. Great to see the old machine being used and still doing useful work.

Life before warning labels

Boss says he’s gonna get us a new crawler but we have to try and make it last this time.

Love these old machines. Still work and start up after years of standing. New stuff has made us dependent on expensive workshops

I’m impressed on how well he can grade with it. He must have put some time in the operators seat.

Прекрасно! Просто, душа замирает, когда видишь такую живую технику! Но, тут главное, чтобы яйца на маховик не намотало..😁

It's so ugly it beautiful. This brings an entire new meaning to "starting"

I GUARANTEE none of the crap they build today will be running when its 90 years old. Great video.

Nice.

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!

That dozer help build Hoover Dam

Wow, that's all machine is so old. really I like these kinds of machine. thank you so much to upload this video for the world. after the next generation can watch this video. really you are great people. again thanks to you so much.

Good thing I am not a wealthy man......I would be the proud owner of a lot of rusty gold just like this example

Lord have mercy that dinosaur still alive.

To think that was once 'state of the art'. Using a steel rod to crank over the engine makes me believe more than one person had been injured starting that old beast over the years.

No check engine light!!!!no laptop needed here!!!!ye ole rig!!!!

I have a 1949 D2. A little tired but still running and gets the job done.

That doesn't look like the most dangerous thing to start ever.

Sounds very much like an old fish trawler engine, nice !!! :-)))

Wow! Grandpa Dozer starts up and goes. Probably simple design and solid construction. Go Cat Go!

i'll be that if the engine kicked back it could sling that iron rod plenty far

😮Wuooooouu.......!!! es admirable está reliquia ,y aún más en funcionamiento 👍. un proceso bastante peligroso para encenderla, de por si con la manivela lo era, imaginen ahora con una barra directamente al flyhweel del motor .me tocó ver casos donde se rompían la muñeca algunos operadores al tratar de encenderlo con manivela,ya sea porque no soltaba en veces,o se regresaba cuando el motor no estaba a tiempo,aún así en su tiempo una maravilla estas máquinas,y sus operarios también, ahí si desquitaban el sueldo,mis respetos a ellos.una enorme diferencia a la tecnología y comodidad de hoy en día. Me hubiera gustado que estos operadores de hoy,hubiesen tenido la oportunidad de manipular un armatoste de estos para que vean lo que era de verdad ganarse unos pesos de más en aquel entonces. Pero wueno 🤔,todo sea por la modernidad,solo es un comentario sin ánimo de ofender, saludos.y felicidades 👏👏👌, gracias por hacerme recordar a mi padre (qepd.) y sus enseñanzas con este vídeo .👍

Sounds like it doesn't have much throttle response. Almost seems to always idle. Was difficult getting up that ramp.

Really wonderful to see this, what a lovely sight, well done in keeping her going!

Imagine starting that beast in cold weather

Ready for the next 90 Years! Love it

Incredible quality to last so long

Rt 30 parallel I80 .....that road coast to coast probably built primarily with iron like that

Hands down the coolest, most badassed video I'll see today! Thanks man! I'm sure we'd all like to see some more of this beast in action.

Сильный моторчик. на холостых оборотах тянет.

I bet that old dozer could do some more work

Muito bonito manter esse trator funcionando 👏👏👏👏

"Dad.we are late for school ". Hold on. I have to find my bar so I can start it first.

Love the old iron have great respect for the ones that built this world with iron like this

Older than my Grandma

that CAT will still out push most john deeres

That old beast still got life in her, awesome !, thanks for sharing with us.

WOW! What would OSHA have to say about this?

The start up sound like psy trance something

Original livery: yellow. Present livery: rust, bird crap, dirt & grease. PERFECT. You would never fool anyone it was brand new if fully restored. Leave it in it's workaday state. Push some dirt around every once in a while. Crush a Prius for extra entertainment. Excellent driving to get it on the truck.

Ya need to throttle her up a bit, sounds like it's idling. Old mechanical age iron is the best...no electronics or computers.

Que bonitos recuerdos de estas máquinas, amigo!

This is pretty cool! Who doesn't love old tractors ? 500+ snowflakes it seems! Awesome video!

That looks amazingly unsafe and I love it!

Прадедушка нашей сотки

Столько лет. а техника работает. молодцы

Que doideira de máquina , ainda bem que a tecnologia está a todo vapor....kkk

대단들 하십니다. USA.. 👍 🎶🥀🍎🍅🍒🍓⚘🌷🌹🍁🍀☘🌿🐜🐝🐞

❤👏👏👏👏👏adorei o vídeo parabéns meu ídolo!!!!

Hi guys great video thanks ,we have vintage kit like this over here in Wales (that's east of you over the pond ) we add petrol to the manifold to cold start ,you guys call it gasoline then we switch over to TVO that's tractor vaporising oil , I think you guys call it kerosene .Am I right or am I missing something ? RSPV :-)

Bringing back child hood memories older than the hills it leveled lol Cool stuff keep it coming

Wish i had one 😁

Never saw one cranked like that before The D6 we had used a pony motor

Bet god used one when he made earth

This is when stuff was made in 'Merica, built to last, like the brown/white reversible belt my grandma bought me from Woolworth

The world can use more like you to preserve these beauties! Thanks

Aki en mexico esa makina estaria en la chatarrera x la ignorancia

It takes Big Balls to drive that Beast! 👍👍

You know it's bad if the engine starts running better when you oil the valve train

Part II: A visit to the hospital.

Sure don't make them like they use too.... pretty freaking cool though

It's incredible how 30 years later bulldozers were already very similar to what we see today, yet very little has changed in the last 30 years. Progress was so much faster back then.

nearly purely mechanical it could last another 90 years

It almost dies on the ramp.

I love the lack of safety equipment. This was built in a time where you didnt have to be told not to eat laundry detergent and drive blindfolded.

An awesome piece of Machinery I hope it stays forever

Fantastic old machine ! 👍

Imagine how much harder it would be to operate a Bob Semple tank.

Left dazed and confused in awe with drool mouth wide ajar then I woke and uncrossed my shutters 😜

песня.

Built when America was the great country I remember it to be, not what we have now

wooden driving seat with arm rests on both sides......our german premium shit should take a look :-)

Who needs hydraulics and an electric starter...

The good old days over a hundred years and still works! If only we could go back

Fuel...check Compression...check Spark...check ...check...check...check...puff! ...check...puk puk pukity puk puk pukity pukity pukity puk puk pukity pukity pukity pukity!! Thank you for sharing!!

Tilt was such a great option down the road

Just found this today .O BOY look at how someone total bogger up this fine old cat... NO IT DOES NOT SOUND OR RUN LIKE THAT>>> I saw one at a show that was FULLY RESTORED NOT PERIOD CORECT !

It’s a beauty, I reckon it would be worth replicating.

You will never have to get that starter reconditioned, love it

Esse trenzão aí tá precisando é de gasolina cifra preocupa que a gasolina vai baixar dentro do Brasil Deus já deu já decisão em quando Deus dá Pronto pode esperar não fica em cima todo tempo batendo na mesa dessa esse negócio de tá todo tempo insultando é como o cachorro que tá no meio da estrada você vai estudar ele deixa ele que ele fica lá no cantinho dele

Love everything about this bit of kit. Surprised theirs even one dislike.

Man have we come a long way ! Outstanding sir ..

How embarrassing to even be photographed in the same picture with that wore out bucket of rusted metal.......... I don't even know if scrap metal dealers would pay anything for it, probably would want a fee from you for their time to just melt it..........

Cool video. Great to see these old machines still working 👍

Si on constate de nos jours comment les trct Caterpillar sont moderne et robustes et super sofistiques on demande pas mieux et on dit merci DIEU ET LES INGENIEURS ET LES HOMMES qui sont morts et nous ont laissés la modernisation

I owned a D6 2H model that was about 10 years newer than this, about the same size, 3 cylinder diesel. my dad was born in 1929. 🙂

I think it needs a Bit MORE THROTTLE ! lol Seems Like its READY to STALL Most of the time : ( Neat tractor Though ! Love the Old ones : ))

Gostei

Sounds like a drum machine!!!

Does she meet tier 4 emissions standards? Lol This is so cool though, but just imagine being the guy that had to use this, and get it going in winter.

Man no wonder our old timers were such a pain in the ass to deal with. Can you imagine running some hunk of shit machine like this for about 12 or 14 hours a day what sort of mood you would come home in much less you would be completely deaf

what could possibly go wrong?

Ever see a man get pulled through a one inch gap? because this is how you end up seeing a man get pulled through a one inch gap. Your shoe lace was honestly flipping off death for a couple seconds.

Sungguh jenius orang orang jaman dulu .dengan keterbarasan sarana dn praaarananya ,tpi bisa menciptakan mesin yg besar manfaatnya untuk kehidupan manusia pada jamanya ,hinga sekarang

I could turn off the visual and just listen to that...

Would be a cool video of a cool old dozer if there wasn't a bunch of dumb kids making a bunch of noise in the background.!!!

I am surprised that old cat hardly has the power to get itself up on the trailer. Why does no one use the throttle lever on these old cats they have allot more power when the engine is throttled up. Maybe read up on those old cats you can learn about the throttle lever, what it does and how it works. Then in the future loading the cat up on the trailer will be easy with no worries of the motor dyeing out.

Are those decompression valves?

I don't know why he did not raise the RPM just a tiny bit.
