A fellow near Great Falls Mt had a collection of steamers and crawlers. His Dad started with steamers, went to IH crawlers. When son took over he used crawlers until he went to big 4 x 4's. They used the big crawlers because they were the biggest tractors then. They usually pulled 36 or more feet of cultivators. After he passed away, his girls leased out the farm, kept some of his antique machinery. They try to have a show in September. I went 2 years ago, and they had a military TD-18 restored to operating condition. There was an older (well, older than me, I'm 70) taking care of it, running it, showing it off. Just a scrawny 'lil guy. Could hardly steer it anymore. I asked him what attracted him to that particular tractor. His answer ran chills down my spine. He said he ran one just like it during WWII in the Philipean (sp) Islands. Still gives me a thrill to think about him dragging howitzers through the mud there!

This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
