" THE SNOW PROBLEM" 1960s CATERPILLAR INC. SNOW REMOVAL WITH CAT 922 & 944 EXCAVATORS XD40005

[@michaelattick1231]

Don't even see snow around the country like this anymore. I always loved these videos

[@kylekenan2321]

Cuz it's not as big of an issue like it was then since we're more proactive and have machines that can handle it better.

[@lukefriesenhahn8186]

It is films and old documentaries like this which I live for.

[@LanceCampeau]

One of the best musical soundtracks I've heard to date on these old industrial films. Such a classic sound...

[@ryancrummy4114]

I've been trying to find out what this genre is called because its very nice

[@seanrichardson266]

Yes! Same here!

[@nspro931]

@@ryancrummy4114 Light orchestral production music I would say

[@BlackPill-pu4vi]

@@ryancrummy4114 British Light Orchestra. Easy Listening. Seeburg 1000 Background Music System. I wouldn't call it Elevator Music because this is not meant to be in the background. Nor is it Muzak for following a limited spectrum arrangement that doesn't arouse any strong emotion.

[@imKazahkstan]

A refreshing video during this hot, hot summer.

[@PeriscopeFilm]

Yes! That was our intention in publishing it now !! Glad you "get it"!

[@DaveBogovich]

I really enjoy the snow plowing music. We play the exact same music in Kentucky coal mining.

[@rogerwilcojr]

And not a single signpost, mailbox, or parked car were harmed in the making of this film.

[@Caje-zf8md]

Decades ago when growing up in the snowbelt region, our city had a fleet of 4x4 Austin-Western graders w/ both "V" plows and wing plows. For the most part they were adequate in keeping the city's avenues, streets and alleyways clear. Front end loaders occasionally came out to clear the interactions where large pileups of snow had accumulated. Thanks for sharing this video: it reminds me of why I headed south.

[@randyfrieler5524]

The Austin Western our township had was front wheel drive in addition to rear drive.

[@ronnyvonallmen6892]

Dad Drove a 1950’s Cat Grader..Brother and I went along with him at times…Loved watching Dad “Camber” the front wheels depending on the Push….Big Snows Dad would put the “V Plow” on…

[@normhowes2975]

I know exactly what you mean. My Dad ran a 64 Galion for NYSDOT with the V and 1 way blades. I didn't ride along in winter as they were 12 hour shifts but all summer every chance I got. 30 odd years ago I seen it for sale but couldn't afford it nor a place to put it.

[@iamrichrocker]

saw a wide variety of snow removal Buffalo '78...it was a wild time..bars never closed..lol..thx for stirring long lost memories..

[@markcollins2666]

I am watching this, on a tropical Pacific island in the Philippines, where people have never seen snow in their lives! Seeing is believing! Being from the Boston area, along with a buddy from Buffalo, NY, snow is one of the main reasons we live here now. Telling people about snow doesn't go very far. This video works!!!

[@Lisa1111]

I love these having been born In 62' Thank you ❤

[@Monica-gj2yx]

@@Lisa1111 Lisa, I was born in 1958, (I am 66), and growing up, I prayed for "school bus stoppers"!

[@johngalt97]

'63 What I remember was having the roads to myself with 12" of unbroken snow in winter '77-'78. I had a brand new moped license and owned the roads during and after 'blizzards'.

[@WinthropWarriors]

We may be getting less snow now, but I also think we've gotten MUCH MUCH MUCH better at clearing snow as well. It looks here like they used to wait for a storm to pass before they went out to clear the roads. Now days, we clean the roads continuously during a storm, so that it never builds up so much like this video.

[@crabbymilton390]

I’m sure everybody will remember as a kid wishing for days like this when snow would be enough to cause school to be closed.

[@stanleybest8833]

Thanks Caterpillar, for advocating roadsalt. I hate the stuff. What I like is random days off, sand when you've got to go, and cars that don't get rusted. Mention salt again, and I'll say a few nice things about Pettibone and New Holland.

[@roberthuron9160]

Caterpillar does a snow job! Bad pun,but appropriate! Doing the photography in those conditions,really separates the men from the boys! Great show in difficult conditions,thank you 👏! Thank you 😇 😊!

[@tomhoffman9729]

I remember doing the snow removal with a 922 w/bucket for the Village I lived in in the early 70's. Got old fast with very little heat.

[@maynardcarmer3148]

A place where I used to work had both a 922B and a 944 Cat wheel loader, and I got to run them both. The 944 had both a grapple bucket and timber forks, while the 922B just had the standard bucket.

[@HiwasseeRiver]

12:05 "A Farm to Market Road" Somewhere in Texas, maybe my patch up in the Panhandle. I delivered the newspaper in the 70's in that snow.

[@christianmoore7046]

Lovely nostalgia from I time I never lived in! Unfortunately, Cat 944's and 966's of this era are really hard to find nowadays.

[@kenthresh3350]

I remember graders like that coming up Hwy 108 in the spring when my family lived up there for the winter.

[@LarsDcCase]

This sounds like an add for Caterpillar.

[@evanstauffer4470]

It was!! Cat paid to produce it.

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

My son in law pushes snow when we have it at an airport. Parking areas, not the runways. He uses a Cat rubber track loader and 2 pickups with blades and salt boxes. Good $ for him.

[@briantaylor9220]

Just imagine being in 1 of those old semis, crappy heater,cold seeping in thru every crack,tuff fellas

[@kylekenan2321]

🙄 that old stuff produced way better heat. They may not have been sealed and insulated as well though.

[@johngalt97]

Thanks, Daaaad. 🙄

[@jameshallahan4376]

Those were the days

[@duron700r]

As a Galion grader guy, I can relate, even on a smaller scale, to those Cat's doing the job. Get into a pickle, the grader starts to hop. Amazingly enough, I couldn't get the '54 Galion stuck. Standard 14' blade. He'd always get out for more. Cat, A-W, Adams, Wabco and Galion to name a few doing the job in heated comfort.

[@timothynelson3841]

Northeast Kansas has had very little snow or freezing temps for the last 20 yrs. At 71 yrs old, I find this snow problem a little unnerving.

[@lowercherty]

The newest car I could identify was a 1960 Ford. I'm guessing it was filmed in the winter of 59 - 60.

[@carlachambers3771]

8:10 couldn't find a union operator to do that.😅

A fine example of TOOL for JOB.

My dad bought a 922b in 1965 and I still have it and use it. Only problem now is finding parts

We just do not get snows like that any more here in the Ohio valley

I dont think id seen a cat loader thats not articulated 🤔

[@DMBall]

The influence of the automobile culture on America again. Our one-time perception of snowfall as a beautiful phenomenon and absolutely vital form a precipitation, is turned into "a problem" to be plowed out of the way.

[@WW-sj7zk]

If I had a buck for every grilled cheese cooked on my 944 I coulda retired earlier

[@petekadenz9465]

1960s? That’s a decade. Tell us the year.

[@Failure_Is_An_Option]

There is no significance to the year.

[@BlackPill-pu4vi]

Judging by the 1950's-esque music and predominance of late 50's automobiles, I'd say this video is from the early 60's.

[@3406Accert]

Funny how not even one machine had the stupidly annoying back up beeper in those days, today it's just ridiculous and not for public safety but the coward companies that have the beepers blaring away heard by people that don't need to hear the stupid distracting beep sounds the money grab piggies who rent all types of machines have hundreds of stupid caution and warning stickers plastered on every square inch of open space on the outside and inside is again not for the operator or the public but for insurance liability immunity can't be sued over a loss of limb or loss of life incident when the warning stickers are present basically like buying a downhill ski ticket on the back in stupidly small print barely readable is the legal jargon for the skill hill you can't sue us but the The lawyer will find the gap in the wording and successfully get a class action lawsuit victory with the ski hill for a victim who purchased a lift ticket & died. But the dumb non smart censored sonar back up beeper of today is a constant nightmare for us civilians especially throughout the whole night hours right up to when the rat race starts again 7am ish. Someone needs to ban those dumb back up beepers in residential zones and outlaw the dumb things and start installing the auto industry panic paranoid parking sensor, side blindspot alert and the rest of those confirmed distracting auto things on cars today which actually increases traffic accidents I'm sure just ask the local scab tow truck company.
