Canada post should take a picture of your cat train, and use as a postage stamp for a slice of Canadian history...
yes these are all canadian not like the american float plane registry on the latest stamp, lol thansk
... you're right , somebody had to step into the void and document this part of forgotten history and I'm glad you still have the equipment to demonstrate something so unique...thank you for all your hard work and the staff as well...
thank you for the kind words, we are including lots of details not found in pictures hanging on the walls of a museums. thansk
How do you move the individual sleds around to hook them up?
I assume you can't push them from behind?
hard to back up too so we pull a sleigh long side and hook a chain to the hitch to the draw pin. then drive a head to get things lined up. then back out a little bit and shorten the chain. pull ahead and then back up until the sleigh is hook up properly. thansk
It's funny how you and "The Staff" get off the Twins in synchronized motion.
yes we had to hurry because of the batteries in the cameras don't last long in the cold. thansk
Great video and voice overs. You and the staff continue to impress and capture a past that would have been gone, just like the horses before the Linns and the IH cats, Also by the smallish size of the tow chain links, Look like 3/8- 10mm. The same size as what I use on a lot lighter stuff. 😎
thank you, the 3/8 grade 70 truckers chains are tough and we use them all the time. we will never get the traction to break it when playing around in snow. the old time would have used a cable because chain had to be so big to be strong as they learned about steel qualities back then. thansk
Yes, the German railroad required cable to tie down equipment in the early 70’s. Take care.
I am old school I have a couple of Ford8N tractors and a Farmall M I can still crank start the 8Ns but not the M so I was wondering if you in theory could crank up the TD9 on gasoline of course because I noticed the hole for a crank on the Grill?
Very good video that was very interesting how they engineered the sleighs, do you know who actually came up with that idea both for the lumbar sleighs and the deck and caboose sleighs?
Carry on Canada 🇨🇦 😊
it is too cold up here and we only play with the cats in the winter so hand cranking is out of the question. the crank holes are standard because IH made all the cats the same no matter where they were shipped around the world. the sleigh designs go back to the horse and buggy days with every one casting their own designs. thansk
Did cat trains going in opposite directions have to meet in the narrow parts of the bush?
the cat trains only traveled in the bush to cross from 1 frozen lake to another. traveling frozen lakes was the main travel routes being flat and smooth compare to in the bush. the cat trains had radios and would plan to meet on a lake to pass each other. thansk
I'D LIKE TO SEE THE SIZE OF THE ELVES WHO MADE ALL THESE TOYS !!!!!
What made theTD9 so popular for this job
easy to work on and same as the IH farm tractor so the southern crew knew how to work on them. plus the power to weight and speed ratio to pull sleighs. thansk
You figure that those Internationals will be worn out anytime soon?
no, playing in snow is good for them thansk
You can see the driver in front means business
oh yes, that is why she is the film director too thansk
Well that was pretty cool. So for the "next level", we`re waiting to find out if it will be Ed, Johnny, or Sir Rodney on the 3rd cat for the Triple pull. Of course, I`m only kidding about that.
Really enjoy following all of this. It`s a lot of work just going out to "have fun", isn`t it ?
yes more to come as we do more and more with the cats and sleighs thansk
Good afternoon Mr King , keep it coming .Warming up in Alberta
will do with set times for releasing these long videos at 4pm Kingdom Time thansk
April 2nd and it's still minus 24 up there according to the weather channel.
yes and we are hauling water too, lol thansk
Y'all should get some kind of award for film making on these adventures since it's just the two of you doing what nobody else is.
that is the story of our lives, we get nothing handed to us and no respect for what we do. i look at these films as documenting the cat trains for the people in 80 years to see what we they did back in the 1950s. thansk
Mighty impressive load you can drag around and one heck of a liquid capacity when full, mighty impressive! I worked for a guy in high school on weekends who had a logging business and he ran a TD series IH Dozer it was a fair bit larger than your I think it was a TD16 or something like that. He always ran them because there was no electricity where we worked and the TDs allowed him to start on Gasoline then convert over to diesel, I am guessing you run them for the same reason?
all my collection is based on the winter freighting equipment from back in the 1950s when cat trains were at their peak. the td ih cats were popular because they were easy to work on plus the crew running them came from the farms in the south to earn money in the winter. plus the crew had worked on ih farm tractors back on the southern farms. thansk
Thanks to you and the staff for filming. I like seeing old machinery at work.
your welcome, reliving the good old days when life was a simpler time thansk
The Staff did a great job pulling and tugging that heavy load around!!
yes she did, she grew up in this life style so she knows what to do thansk
Awesome documentation King Joey, great job filming as always really enjoyed keep up the great work I watched the Back of Beyond I enjoyed it as well well till tomorrow enjoy your beverages
thank you, the film back of beyond has a lot of details in it plus the flys were unreal back then too thansk
Good work on the recent video, Joey.
thank you, it will be a record of how it was done since museums only offer a picture on the wall. thansk
Hi Joey -- What are the brakes on a TD-9? Are they drum brakes? Disk? Boat anchor? Or how do they work? (I reference the part of your video where the sleds were pushing you forward downhill, and you had to brake the tractor).. Thanks! I enjoyed your video, as i do with them all. Cheers!
they are just brake bands around the steering clutch drums. a proven design but will lock up the tracks when being pushed by the sleighs. thansk
Very much enjoyed the video. Great camera work, and narrating. Now, does the “Staff “ actually pull those steering clutch levers with her bare hands ?
thank you, yes lots of heat coming off the motor compartment to keep her warm thansk
Nice video now if only people can understand how people had to worked to get it done thanks U 2
the more videos and details people will understand and these videos will be popular 100 years from now thansk
Thank you and the staff for all the effort put in to bring us a view into cat freighting. I am amazed how good those sleighs follow each other on the curves. You've done an amazing job documenting and explaining everything. Thanks again.
thank you, the old timers were smart back then and kept everything simple. thansk
Just subscribed ty for saving and keeping history going and not forgotten with cat trains old iron old ways and ole men sometimes the best God bless you
thank you, yes we post about the history and details you will never find in a museum because we show how things were done. thansk
@@kingofobsolete4789 this ole Florida boy would never know about like with the narrow skies on trailer packing snow to make it easier only seen snow twice and wasn't that much lol ty again
@@jayjones6904 yes things are different up here and when i went to florida in the early 1990s i learned a lot about life in the heat. thansk
Stayin tuned!
🤠👍
