Cat 60 hand starting, pushing a little dirt, and loading on a trailer.
2017 K&O show

The reason it's running so slow is the carburetor needed worked on but nobody had the time that year. The only time this thing ever runs is when it gets taken to this show.

    Incredible old machine, and what a clever starting process. Great to see the old machine being used and still doing useful work.
  • I’m impressed on how well he can grade with it. He must have put some time in the operators seat.
  • @seeker1432
    Love these old machines. Still work and start up after years of standing. New stuff has made us dependent on expensive workshops

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

    It's so ugly it beautiful. This brings an entire new meaning to "starting"
  • Really wonderful to see this, what a lovely sight, well done in keeping her going!
  • @edifyguy
    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!

  • 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.

    I have a 1949 D2. A little tired but still running and gets the job done.
  • @sujitsamuel2326
    That gentle beast is singing and I can hear it all day long sweet rhythm to my ears.
  • @pigpen3499
    I GUARANTEE none of the crap they build today will be running when its 90 years old. Great video.

    Wow! Grandpa Dozer starts up and goes. Probably simple design and solid construction. Go Cat Go!
  • @rontokar1659
    Wow!! That's awesome! First one I've ever seen. Thank you for sharing that video.
