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 . who have harnessed fuel and steel to dig more dirt, turn more wheels, pump more water, gin more cotton, crush more stone, dig deeper wells, turn bigger propellers, saw more wood. Now, at the beginning of our fifty-first year of crawler tractor manufacture, we honor these people . because they are our customers, yes . but more properly, for the great things they have accomplished.

Mother and daughter dropped harvest-time meal preparations long enough to don their Saturday night best and get in the act. \||IWlv ^C Well, old-time farmers tell us, there will never be another sight like those big old combines — far larger than those of today— looking for all the world like ships lumbering across a sea of wheat . tended by two-horse teams whisking away the finished grain . followed by every curious boy in the area . each boy aspiring to one of the jobs on the four-ton juggernaut. Perhaps one coveted the job of steersman, sitting high above all atop the separator . guiding the machine by means of chains running to the rear of the combine tongue. Another pictured himself as driver, perched over the pilot wheel and maintaining order among the 30-odd animals out front. Or the machineman, who raised and lowered the cutting bar and ministered to the mechanical health of the machine. Or, finally, the sack sewer . turning the separator spout into his waiting sacks, filling them, sewing them shut and rolling them out on the stubble . always keeping a pile of sacks and threaded needles ready beside him. In the 1880s, more and more marginal land came under the ambitious scrutiny of the farmer. His eyes turned to the foothills and rolling meadows with which California abounds. These knew no plow and had felt, if anything at all, only the hooves of Spanish and pioneer American cattle. The combine had proven ineffective on these fertile hills. Grain grew well enough . but in a tilted combine, it moved too fast or too slow and bunched up in the corners of the machine. In 1891, Benjamin Holt introduced his sidehill harvester, probably the first one to achieve any continued commercial success. Now, for the first time, the harvester could go anywhere a team could go — and still operate efficiently. Profitable grain farming became a reality on hundreds of thousands of sloping untilled acres across the Pacific Northwest. Best sidehill harvester. Both Holt and Holt self-propelled sheet Best machines were of the "pulled" metal harvester (1913). The type and cost about $1.25-$1.50 per company turned out its first acre to operate— including mainte- self-propelled harvester nance, depreciation, labor and horses. model two years earlier. y Holt sidehill combines — like these— helped boost Washington wheat production from six million bushels in 1890 to 42 million in 1920. Holt purchased this company in 1901, continuing its line of combines, plows and other farm tools. Several similar firms were acquired in the 1894-1908 period. xw i ligHw^i i i immm PLOWING AND HARVESTING BY STEAM -*** IJj_ *> I .... now „ inafactnring the ( Vl.brat. >d REMINGTON TRACTION ENGINE OR If yon are interested in Steam Plowing and Steam Harvesting, go and investigate for STEAM PLOW, idaptad Co all kinds of heavy work usually done by BmlM or horeea.

A PERSONAL INTRODUCTION The present author’s interest in R.G. LeTourneau is long-standing. My father, George Niemelä, Sr., was a mechanic, welder, heavy-equipment operator, and businessman in northern California. When the author was a boy, Dad worked for R.G.’s brothers-in-law (Howard and Buster Peterson) at Peterson Tractor, a Caterpillar dealership based in San Leandro, CA. He was a machinist/welder in the first crew of Peterson’s Roller Exchange Shop. 2 In 1961 Dad opened an equipment rental yard in Stockton, CA (Bee Wise Tool and Equipment Rental). His business was two blocks from a Montgomery-Ward warehouse that once was R.G.’s second Stockton factory (built in 1930, expanded in 1934).

  • 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.
