Great video, l’m working on a 1926 Caterpillar 60 which I first saw over 50 years ago and have owned for 25. I’ve never seen it run but hope to in next couple of months. Should be an exciting day.
This has to be one of the best videos of Holt engines I have seen. The sound of this engine is just second to none. One day I will own a Holt engine just to start up the machine and watch it run slow. The pop pop sound really puts a smile on my face every time. Keep up the great work and peace too. vf
the way you explain about the this brand of engines i feel you 100% i have the same! wel louds of type of engines als i have it wil large and loud steam engines steam whisles and large singel cyl engines and loud thumpin engines! i feel you and i know exact how you feel when you cant stop listening to its beautyful mighty sound of large engines! ex emosions you get watch it and enjoying the sound and sight gets sometimes emostional
Actually the first workable crawler track design (Patent No. 674,737 filed on Nov. 9, 1900) was developed by Alvin Lombard of Waterville, ME. and put into production in 1901. Lombard's last machine left the factory in 1936.
We were having a lot of fun that day. It was the first time we had shown the freshly rebuilt engine in public. And with the pipes on it, you could still hear it thump away all the way from the far end of our large field. We love how it sounds.
Factory spec for the 6 cylinder 120hp is actually from about 100rpm up to a max of 550rpm. The 6 cylinder in the video has seen sustained running down to about 70rpm amazingly. It's fun to play with and sounds great doing it.
These old tractors are primitive by todays standards but , they literally changed the world .. Crop production exploded as did the acreage put to seed whereas before, the horse & mule teams were slow & could only work half as many hours in a day... So many acres were turned under the plow that when a drought hit in the 1930's , the heartland turned to dust... The Great Depression & the Dust Bowl at the same time , brought farming to an end for hundreds of thousands . It brought about conservation that we still see being used today with crop rotations & no plow farming.. If you drive thru the midwest even today you will see windbreaks on every farm.. And crop reduction allowed tree's & grasses to grow & further slow the erosion effects of wind on the Great Plains. Today modern tractors on large farm operations cost more than the cost of 2 average homes . And , several are required to make the farmer competitive in todays world economy
There are not many things in this world that sounds sweeter that the old Holt. Many thanks for the video. Enjoyed.
Something about the sound these holt tractors make when the fire up makes me smile
Это трактор тип "Холт". В Императорской России их производил Путиловский завод. После революции тоже удалось собрать несколько машин.

Great sounds from these engines and the informative captions are nice - From the Midwest U.S.A.

@@djlau1 Could not of said it any better myself. We must have metal and oil in our blood. vf
Fascinating.
Makes a very pleasant change to see an engine like this that's not an F-M !
Don't forget the Lombard log haulers were the first commercial machines to use tracks.
Yes, important link in the chain that many people don’t know or think of.
Do you like these Holt Engines ?

I'll bet you were! Sounds good on the youtube, can only imagine it in person.
INSANE ENGINE
Интересная техника. молодцы
I've never seen that type of engine before such a smooth idle just saying
Listen to them just purring along at an ilde
No vehicles of 2022 can ever make this grade.
Kierownik!!!!!🔥🔥🔥
so Holt caterpillar became the CAT company we know today, neat!
Very good I like it
Brilliant, love it
When the RPM range is 250 to balls out at 1250.

AUMANN Auctions has a Holt engine coming up for sale in their pre 30's sale.
Where are you from guys ? :)
Would love to hear it running outside in the open air. Too much reverberation inside the shop!
3:40 Pity they'd not tuned those pipes :)
Haha, yep. In all reality though, those are actually the factory original pipes from 1917. They didn't care about mufflers so much back then!
@@TheIronRanch No, I meant what I said ;) what fun if each cylinder really played a different note !
@@millomweb Could be quite fun!
