1929 Caterpillar SIXTY Bulldozer | Start-up, Pushing Dirt
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
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.

GORGEOUS !! WHAT A GIFT FOR A KID OF ANY AGE !!!
Love dem Caterpillars!!!!! worked the Decatur, IL plant for 33 yrs. What a career!!!! I'd never seen a start system like that;... Thanks.
My grandpa restored a 1929 Cat 20 in the late 70s… nice machine here!!
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.
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.

@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.
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?
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.

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.

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.

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.
