What a survivor, Now that’s a true peace of Caterpillar history. Thanks for the walk around. You can tell it’s had someone that truly cared about saving it
Amazing. I have loaded engines out of Peoria, and Moss Point. Never occurred to me that was the original location. The buildings were obviously newer. Thank you.
Excellent walk around video the is a really nice looking caterpillar for its age not too many of that model left around in that good of condition keep up the great videos
I’m from England, I watch all your videos and have done for a long time, I came because I love mechanical restorations done right … somehow along the way Ive picked up a shed load of information about Catepillar Tractors and how they wear 😅 despite never having actually seen one 😂
Neat old piece of iron. I like the exposed push rod tubes - similar to Harley Davidson, and the showing of in-between open pushrods and thru-block push rods.
Hello @Squatch253, I want to thank you for all the info on adjusting my steering brake on my 1937 D4, so thank you. I just thanked Live after our Loss for the video he did on adjusting the brake. I have been so busy lately trying to get my septic system in that I hadn't had time to adjust the brake. It went really nice and easy thanks to both you and LAOL. So once again thank you. And yes, what a nice looking Thirty-Five. Oh, yea I wanted to say my D4 runs really well, it looks like someone has put a newer model undercarriage or different one on it and it looks to be in good shape. Also, on the starting motor, the guy I bought it from showed me a way to start it that makes it start on the first pull. First, he opened the valve on bottom of the heads below the spark plug and drains any oil or gas or whatever is in it, I need a new fuel shut off valve for the gas tank I had to clean it and it sticks. I haven't had to add any oil in either engine the diesel engine or pony motor, then he took the spark plug out shot a little squirt just a tiny blast of either in it, and it starts on the first pull. I tried starting it without either and pulled and pulled, it finally started but wore me out, I put new plugs in it too. Also, the endplay of the crankshaft has very little movement and it is a smooth-running engine. thanks again for all your help.
Another really good informative walk round 👌that is one lovely original looking tractor 👍 was at a vintage construction vehicle working day couple of weeks back and found myself checking drive sprockets pins an bushes etc 🙄😂 didn't have my camera with me but im sure there was a RD8 with a 3 cylinder engine in it 🤔 great video 👍
Very cool tractor I’ve had several 35s here in CA and still have a set of lower side panels fenders and a hood. Stuff for those tractors are getting harder to find.
👍 but when you mentioned the ten I went 😲🤔 that’s odd ! Prior to watching noticed the , parked along time ten vid was in my recommended ,🤷♂️ thought it an odd coincidence, jus’ saying ! 😆 ✌️🤙

Squatch, I think you are the ideal person to attend tractor shows with.
Your walk arounds are always interesting.
Another neat walk around, thank you Squatch! You sure know your vintage machinery!
Thanks Toby! A neat looking diesel 35. I really enjoy your walk around videos. Lots of great information
Thanks for the video Squatch! That 35 looks to be a sold old machine. Nice to see they are still putting some love into it. Cheers
I do enjoy watching you and other people restore these old tractors and I like them all painted up nice and pretty

Great to see suck an old timer that survived in such good shape. Thanks Toby for another great walk around .
Always enjoy walk arounds!!
Thanks Toby!!! Keep them coming!!!

Nice old tractor!
Some nice for ninety years old. And not hacked up much.
Thanks.
Great tractor!! Thank you for sharing the walk around!!
When brand new bolts are used they do stand out like a sore thumb when we’re used to the “right, correct, and proper” hardware that Squatch uses.
My gosh! That's just beautiful! ❤
Thanks, Toby. 😊
Always enjoy the walk-arounds!
Thanks Squatch like always it is interesting to learn about old machines. It make me would love to find a decent one to fix up or restore.

I have absolutely zero need for a 1930s Caterpillar but I want one. 😉

I hope you bought it. What a nice cat.
Sweet machine for the 30s,hasn't been beat to death.
Did I hear a small cry from the 35 saying, Please take me home with you, I need to be restored and made like new again?
So cool, when machines were built to last.
That injection pump is bigger than a modern engine!!
Nice looking machine!
That's an interesting crawler. Just my preference, but I'm not a patina guy. I think a Caterpillar that old should be restored.

😊thats a nice tractor 😊😊😊😊
Very nice 😎
Maybe one day soon you can get to your RD6.
👍 but when you mentioned the ten I went 😲🤔 that’s odd ! Prior to watching noticed the , parked along time ten vid was in my recommended ,🤷♂️ thought it an odd coincidence, jus’ saying ! 😆 ✌️🤙
Nice machine.
Nice tractor
Very nice.
looks nice!
Question for Squatch....do you see yourself buying another Cat crawler in the future? And if so what model would you most desire?
She looks like a runner.
The new seat is the most obvious give away to me.
👍
💓🤗
Hi, man
I think you would love to restore every one of those old tractors
Quality Inspection by Squatch
Rust is not patina. It's rust, and it's eating away the metal. I agree with Mark Novak, the gun smith.
I was born in Peoria Ill. definetly caterpillar country
