Look at all those straw hats!   And all the women wore hats.   Just an excellent photo to show the mixture of vehicles and animals at the end of WWI.
Lots of inspiration in that photo.  http://www.shorpy.com/node/10726

I was at a show of historical construction equipment a few weeks ago. Some nice old dozers and excavators...and all working.
This one took my attention.
Wonder why it has a sun canopy as it works here in Holland  ???  Not so much sun here, it ain't california ;D

That is something what I also noticed.
I think that protection for the engine is more important than the healt of the engineer. :D

the HOLT tractor was sort of a fore runner to Caterpillar.
Lot of YouTube videos of the Holt and most have canopys.
First ones were used during WWI.
Nice photo.

Most of the Holts had a single front wheel.    those are some nice models.
I'm getting an education just researching these.

  Chuck ,

   I believe they are . No doubt Barney will correct me if I'm wrong .

   These are just two of over 15 Holts that he has built some crappy pictures of which I have posted previously elsewhere . They are not all 1/35th scale , I know of at least one he has done in 1/24th scale . But I'm sure he can say more about them than me , seeing as he built them .
