Library Identifier/Call Number: O-011 Physical Description: 74 linear feet Date (inclusive): 1850-1991 Abstract: Manuals created by manufacturers to assist in the operation, maintenance, repair, or restoration of agricultural machinery. Researchers should contact Special Collections to request collections, as many are stored offsite. 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. Related Collections O-005, Agricultural Technology Brochures Collection O-012, Agricultural Technology Catalogs Collection D-004, Anthony W. Bakken Collection D-056, F. Hal Higgins Collection D-116, F. Hal Higgins Papers Access Collection is open for research. Acquisition Information Original materials acquired from F. Hal Higgins, 1959. Accruals Newly acquired manuals are regularly added to the Agricultural Technology Manuals Collection. Manuals have come from donations from the National Agricultural Library, UCD Antique Mechanics Club, local farm equipment dealers, and private collectors.

  • Storied Lands & Waters of the Allagash Wilderness Waterway

    Storied Lands & Waters of the Allagash Wilderness Waterway

    Part Two: Heritage Resource Assessment HERITAGE RESOURCE ASSESSMENT 24 | C h a p t e r 3 3. ALLAGASH HERITAGE RESOURCES Historic and cultural resources help us understand past human interaction with the Allagash watershed, and create a sense of time and place for those who enjoy the lands and waters of the Waterway. Today, places, objects, and ideas associated with the Allagash create and maintain connections, both for visitors who journey along the river and lakes, and those who appreciate the Allagash Wilderness Waterway from afar. Those connections are expressed in what was created by those who came before, what they preserved, and what they honored—all reflections of how they acted and what they believed (Heyman, 2002). The historic and cultural resources of the Waterway help people learn, not only from their forebears, but from people of other traditions too. “Cultural resources constitute a unique medium through which all people, regardless of background, can see themselves and the rest of the world from a new point of view” (U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, 1998, p. 49529). What are these “resources” that pique curiosity, transmit meaning about historical events, and appeal to a person’s aesthetic sense? Some are so common as to go unnoticed—for example, the natural settings that are woven into how Mainers think of nature and how others think of Maine. Other, more apparent resources take many forms—buildings, material objects of all kinds, literature, features from recent and ancient history, photographs, folklore, and more (Heyman, 2002). The term “heritage resources” conveys the breadth of these resources, and I use it in Storied Lands & Waters interchangeably with “historic and cultural resources.” Storied Lands & Waters is neither a history of the Waterway nor the properties, landscapes, structures, objects, and other resources presented in chapter 3.

    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.

C, 1951 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. Price 75 cents Preface THOSE who want to be successful in any line of work or business must learn the tricks of the trade one way or another. For most occupations there is a wealth of published information that explains how the job can best be done without taking too many knocks in the hard school of experience. For logging, however, there has been no ade- quate source of information that could be understood and used by the man who actually does the work in the woods. This NORTHEASTERN LOGGERS' HANDBOOK brings to- gether what the young or inexperienced woodsman needs to know about the care and use of logging tools and about the best of the old and new devices and techniques for logging under the conditions existing in the northeastern part of the United States. Emphasis has been given to the matter of workers' safety because the accident rate in logging is much higher than it should be. Sections of the handbook have previously been circulated in a pre- liminary edition. Scores of suggestions have been made to the author by logging operators, equipment manufacturers, and professional forest- ers.

    Steam Engine Miniatures/Chris Rueby

    General Project 38 — Steam Engine Miniatures/Chris Rueby Chris Rueby sends us some photos and details of his latest projects: A Lombard steam log hauler and a Marion 91 steam shovel, along with pictures of his home-shop setup. Lombard Steam Log Hauler FIGURE 1—A Lombard log hauler completed last year, also done completely on his Sherline machines. Here is a shot of the model with its big brother at the Maine Forest and Logging Museum last fall, where both were running together. FIGURE 2—Chris in front of the restored Lombard. The scale is 1"=1'. It was built from plans I drew in Autodesk Fusion360 (modeled in 3D, then converted working geared differential then through a pair of to 2D plans) from photos and measurements I took of drive chains. All of the chains and track plates were the original machine on display at the Maine Forest made from scratch on the Sherlines. and Logging Museum on trips there the last two years. The original was restored to running condition a few years ago, and the museum allowed me access, and also the chance to drive the original a number of times (quite exciting). The model is made of stainless steel, brass, bronze, with copper for the boiler. The boiler is fired with butane, and the model runs for about 1/2 hour on a filling of water and fuel. The model weighs about 35 pounds and has radio control for the throttle and steering. The work was all done on my non-CNC Sherline lathe and mill; both have the longer beds, and the mill has the taller column.

  • The History of Heavy Equipment: a Timeline the Future Build Your Dreams with an HEC Education

    The History of Heavy Equipment: A Timeline The next time you drive through the city or town in which you reside, take a minute to look at the buildings around you. On a more primitive level, think about the road on which you’re driving, the road on which you’ve driven countless times. Did you ever stop to think about the process and the work that were required to bring these valuable staples of civilizational infrastructure into being? Just in case you didn’t know, a specific class of construction machinery known as heavy equipment was most certainly integral to the construction of roads, buildings and more. Backhoes, bulldozers, cranes and the people who operate them help take the country’s continuing development from conception to reality. But how exactly did all of this technology come to be? We’ve obviously come a long way since the days of manual and animal-drawn tools, but how did things transpire to get us to where we stand today? Below you’ll find a brief but informative history of heavy equipment that can help you understand our species’ advances in such tools. LATE 1800s The Second Industrial Revolution in the United States ramped up the use of machines across the country, most notably in agriculture. In 1886, Benjamin Holt created his first combine harvester, followed by a steam engine tractor four years later in 1890. Not to be outdone, John Froelich invented the gas-powered tractor soon after that in 1892. These inventions would help pave the way for heavy equipment.
