Library Title: Agricultural Technology Manuals Collection Date (inclusive): 1850-1982 Extent: 73.2 linear ft. Abstract: Manuals created by manufacturers to assist in the operation, maintenance, repair, or restoration of agricultural machinery. Physical location: Researchers should contact Special Collections to request collections, as many are stored offsite. Repository: University of California, Davis. General Library. Department of Special Collections. Davis, California 95616-5292 Collection number: O-011 Language of Material: Collection materials in English History The Agricultural Technology Manuals Collection began as a series in the F. Hal Higgins Collection. In 1927 F. Hal Higgins began collecting materials relating to the history of combines and tractors. Over time the collection expanded to include materials describing farm implements, farm commodities, and equipment for logging, earthmoving and construction. The Library, University of California, Davis acquired Higgins’ collection in 1959. Regular patron use of the collection indicated a strong interest in the manuals for tractors and other farm machinery. In order to better serve patrons, Library staff shelved the manuals together as they were found in the collection. This arrangement also made it easier to acquire new titles. In 1983, the manuals that had been accumulated in the F. Hal Higgins collection were removed from the collection and organized as the Agricultural Technology Manuals Collection. Scope and Content For this collection, a manual is defined as an illustrated handbook used to assemble, operate, repair, or restore machinery. It may include parts books if the parts are depicted together functionally. Except where noted, all manuals are originals, not facsimiles or reprints. The collection is limited to farm machinery (from a simple garden plow to power farming machines) and some construction machinery (primarily road construction). It does not include automobiles, urban vehicles (i.e., milk trucks, delivery trucks, fire engines), or houseware (i.e., sewing machines, vacuum cleaners, radios). The collection is not limited by geography or by date. Though items date from 1865 to 1982, the bulk of the collection covers U.S. manufacturers from 1930 to 1960.

  • Notes on the Origins of Some American Tractors
    Notes on the Origins of Some American Tractors The tractor used by the CCC crew in Southwest Harbor, as shown in SWHPL 10609, was a Best 30 crawler tractor with open radiator sides, made in 1924-1925 as one of the last models made by the C.L. Best Tractor Company before it merged with Holt Manufacturing to become the Caterpillar Tractor Company. 1890. Benjamin Holt and Daniel Best experimented with various forms of steam tractors for use in farming. They did so separately, with separate companies. 1904. Holt's first steam track-type tractor. 1906. Holt's first gas track-type tractor. 1915. Holt "Caterpillar®" track-type tractors are used by the Allies in World War I. 1925. The Holt Manufacturing Company and the C. L. Best Tractor Co. merge to form Caterpillar Tractor Co. In 1908, at the age of 70, Daniel retired. His son, Clarence Leo Best ("Leo"), continued in his father’s footsteps, and with his father still giving advice, continued to experiment and improve on their tractors. One improvement made was the track laying design. This type of tractor moved on rolling tracks instead of wheels. He made several different models, but two really stood out as notable. The two models — the 30 hp field tractor, and the 60 hp field tractor — were well received and highly praised by the farming community. These tractors would eventually launch a new line of tractors that are still used today. Caterpillar Tractor Company In 1925, the C.L. Best Tractor Company and the Holt Manufacturing Company, who also manufactured tractors and had trademarked the Caterpillar brand, merged to form the Caterpillar Tractor Company.

  • Bulldozer Movement Kills Operator Standing on Track
    OR 2005-28-1 Bulldozer movement kills operator standing on track SUMMARY On August 20, 2005, a 33-year-old Hispanic equipment operator was killed when he slipped between the tracks and the body of the bulldozer he was operating. The operator gave a coworker a ride to retrieve an ATV located at the top of a hill where the operator was intending to work. The operator stopped the bulldozer on a fairly level area of the slope to let off his rider. He then noticed the coworker had left a jacket in the cab, so he lowered the tractor’s blade to the ground, put the machine into idle, and stood on the track to reach out and give the The Caterpillar D8H bulldozer in this jacket to the coworker. While in this position, the incident unexpectedly rolled backward tractor suddenly moved backward, and the operator lost from a parked position. his balance and fell feet first between the track and the deck. The bulldozer continued to roll 8-10 ft backward, and the operator was pulled beneath the tractor and crushed. Coworkers freed the conscious victim, but he was confirmed dead when emergency medical responders arrived at the scene. The medical examiner reported a blood alcohol content of 0.08, the level of legal intoxication in Oregon for operating a motor vehicle. CAUSE OF DEATH: Multiple traumatic injuries RECOMMENDATIONS • Before exiting a bulldozer, the operator must secure hazardous energy by following all manufacturer recommended steps in parking, including setting the parking brake. • Operators should not use alcohol or other impairing drugs prior to or while operating equipment.

  • Fifty Years on Tracks
    - - :. FIFTY YEARS ON TRACKS Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2012 with funding from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign http://archive.org/details/fiftyyearsontracOOcate FIFTY YEARS ON TRACKS Copyright 1954 by Caterpillar Tractor Co. CAT lH *•>'» * > *\\ BY WAY OF INTRODUCTION . ^1 2 IN 1925, the C. L. Best Tractor Co. and The Holt Manufac- turing Company merged to form Caterpillar Tractor Co.; leading track-type tractor builders of that time, the two firms had chosen an old and familiar Holt trademark for use in their new corporate name. This anniversary book tells the story of Caterpillar— and its important predecessors— from a begin- ning rooted in Nineteenth Century soil. From the vantage point of a reporter, it presents a cross-section view of the Company today— its people, plants, business friends, products, markets. It sketches the colorful industry of which Caterpillar is a prominent part. "Fifty Years on Tracks" is a tribute to the men who build roads and dams and levees and airports . who till and terrace farmland and harvest its abun- dance . stretch pipelines across plains and up over mountains . cut down hills and erect buildings and bridges in their place . fell and snake logs from the woods . clear roads and streets and save lives when winter comes. To the people who build today's pyramids in months instead of decades— with machines and free men instead of slaves by the thousands. To the workmen who keep hammering down the cost of moving a yard of earth . who have more than doubled farm output per man-hour in the last 50 years .
