I had to go get parts for our 936 Loader today at the Cat dealer and finally got some neat photos of some old Holt and Best Tractors. Thought I would share them with Y'all. And yes, this is one of the original Holt Caterpillar Dealerships.
Bill, Holt used the Cat Logo before they merged with Best. Best used the logo "Track Layer" on their first stuff. It's my understanding that they formed a Partnership the become Caterpillar Corp.
Correct you are Brian. Holt and Best combined companies and together made the Caterpillar Tractor Co. Got the name when a reporter watched the tracks rolling over rocks and said it looked like a caterpillar crawling over something and the name fit.
Could ya grab a 345 E and send it my way? Short day due to a breakdown.
Cool pics.
