Starting Up The Old Caterpillar SIXTY
Вставка

- This old 1929 Caterpillar Sixty started a lot easier than I thought it would. I guess not all old machines are cranky. The other crawler seen is a 1952 CAT D4. I didn't get there early enough to catch that one being started. These were seen at the Arizona Early Day Gas Engine & Tractor Assc. Show in Apache Junction, AZ on 3-10-12. I also shot video of both of these tractors hooked to the sled in the sled pulling competition, so check them out too.

my god those old flat heads sound amazing
The only "safety-sheilds" in those days was the training and how well you learned it. Plenty of folks learned the hard way, and some even survived. It took a lot of skill, respect and raw-nerves to work with these old timers.
Darwinism...it's why we have such a proliferation of zombies these days. No-one has to think to survive anymore
The Sixty is just incredible. This is what Caterpillar means to me. You must see one in person to understand what it does for people! That engine is huge.
Oh man I love these machines, & what a sound !
Love that sound so much!
Now THAT is low end grunt!
Some serious hardware going on!
Built before lawyers. Geezuz put some grease on that old girl!
God damn widowmaker
I love the old dozers catrepiler
Now that's what I call a real four-banger!
gasoline engine here, compression release valves let you turn the engine. When it fires, its under very little compression. You then close the compression valves before it will pull much. With them open, the engine runs but lots of pressure comes out the open valves. Timing is retarded but it has a spring cocking and release mechanism which quickly fires or snaps and gives velocity to the coils to provide a strong spark even with engine turning very slow. Once engine is up to minimum speed, the cocking no longer occurs and spark runs normally. At that time, spark can be adjusted to give strong power. Kinda neat units!! Thanks
bill45colt It's a diesel.
silly me!! I apologize I thought they were gas,,,,thanks for the correction
bill45colt Think you will find the sixty is a gasoline engine.
deezelfairy I own one, they are diesel
many thanks!!
absolutely GREAT, thank you kindly
Well thank you for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
yup the military hated these...fellas were using their guns to start them and bending the barrels
+Brad hoffman- Yeah and if you don't pull that bar out fast enough when it kicks over you get a ass whoopin.
I'd like to give my neighbor about 20 seconds warning before I drove this through her house.
typical american gun culture now want to crash neibhour with dozer very insane human must be satan inside the devil has spoken

Veri Nice historical caterpillar sixty
would be a pain to get caught in the flywheel...
What kinda levis are those pardner?
My brother's old boss in vegas had a fifteen sitting in the yard that I so badly wanted to get running. He was uninterested though, unfortunately. I think it would have been a blast

Huge and robust! With a lot of the mechanicals exposed for everyone to see how they work. Very different from todays machines.
There never were any guards on that thing.
What does the water do? form a vacuum break?

Unbelievable!
Is that Cleve Klankenschnorbler at the controls? He's lost a lot of weight since last time.
Yeah, I would think that a person couldn't overcome the compression pressure fast enough to rotate the engine to start it. It appears that the valves let out just enough pressure that a person can turn it over, but not too much that it can't start.
Cool
the soviets mass produced this model in huge numbers.............didnt pay cat anything lol
Something about starting an engine by putting a crowbar in the flywheel always seemed so wrong to me. i can just imagine it'd fly out & hit someone, most likely me.
@Mr Sunshines No need for such a mean ass comment.
@Mr Sunshines Immaturity.
It's all fun and games, 'til someone gets their wiener caught in the flywheel!
There's two things you don't do naked... mess around with these old clunkers and fry food!
would have been nice if the other engines in the background were turned off.
You do know that if you pull both steering clutches it will slip right into gear
ЧТЗ с таких начинал.
I think that this must be impossible to start without those valves on the sides of the cylinders...
Of course!!!... I've worked an very famous french engine 1925.. 1 cylinder /6 liters cubic.... there was a dual cam of exhaust... one for to start who was taking out alf of compression the starting was very easy..... only in europe never was used the impulsed magneto.........
looks like a good place to loose an arm
Man, that guy should just close his mouth.
Sorry to hear that. But you didn't understand my comment. The guy was talking just to talk.
i scrapped out 2 D4s and a D3 two of them ran
.
there mine to do what i want with . i dont want anyone having them thats my business , i dont sell parts trucks , tractors
Ben Chris lol that was 8 years ago, i dont sell engines or tractors , i sell scrap steel , at the time no one was at the site ,wanting the engines so scrapped all of them
Rob W That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. You truly are an idiot.
.
Where is the sound???
It plays fine on my end...sounds fine to me. The problem must be on your end or with UA-cam.
The only thing to see is a fly wheel. Don’t quit your other job
