An interesting 1926 Caterpillar film showing their tractors being put through their paces - the original "Dirty Jobs".

A couple of TTs make cameo appearances in a few frames.

Neat video. Thanks for sharing.

Now that is the kind of cat video I like!

I've always thought starting a Cat 60 is a pretty scary affair. I imagine the thing sending that handle flying and impaling some hapless bystander.

Back when men were men with no confusion on what rest room to use and when Americans weren't content to sit on their asses and do nothing...

Those Cat 60s are really wild, part of me wants to see if the powerplant from one could be used to make one hell of a speedster. Something like a beer-budget Beast of Turin...

At the 9:24 mark, the video of the stockyards is in Omaha, Nebraska. It was the world's largest for years. The Livestock Exchange Building still stands but the yards have been repurposed for office and industrial use.

Mark,
I love that stockyard operator- Get in, spin around, get out! Luckily, he had some pretty slippery concrete to slide around on...

The stock exchange may have been converted to an office but I bet they are still trading Bull!

Great video

I bet they were a lot of fun to drive!

Great video! Thanks Dale!
Beautiful beasts.

Big differences from today's GPS guided equipment today. Kinda shows how far we have come. I liked the part where they are building the modern airport and the bi-plane fly's by.

Fun video, Thanks for posting. Some Cat stuff is a little bigger now.
