Early Cat Videos was created by AJ.
Most of you guys will have seen the videos I have posted below before but to give the new guys a chance to see them I have put the links up again,they can be downloaded from the host site Rapidshare, with the free download one at a time,there is a waiting time between the downloads of something like 80 minutes, to get around that problem I had found that after downloading the first clip come off line,run disk cleanup go back on line and get the second clip,do the same for the rest if that works for you,it does not work for everyone,if you are using XP you will find Disk Cleanup by clicking on Start,Programs,Accessories, System Tools and Disk Cleanup,click on it and drag it to the Desktop so it will be quicker to find for the next clip,Rapidshare was not easy for some people to get the downloads from so I have posted pictures of how to after you click on one of the links below,the six Cat clips are approx 30 mins each and are in order from Pt 1 to 6,each clip will play on its own and play full screen using Windows Media Player.the clips can be lined up in order and will play from 1 to 6 continuous.they start in 1925 and go to the late 40s.The others clips are Hornsbys 1908, LeTourneau 1938 and Vickers VR180 1954.
Enjoy
AJ
I've had to remove the links due to them reposted on another site

Thanks very much Aj I got the lot downloaded at last luckily i had the links saved before the board went down. Loved that little Hornsby what style and plush seats too. The Vickers sure looked fast but how anyone would compare it to a D8 of that time must be blind its more the size of a d6 it was a joy to see all them old tractors working. Did not think much of the guy trying to knock the tree with the LT wheel dozer.
Thanks agin
GC :)

Hi AJ, Thanks for the postings, I too saved the links before the site went down and succeeded in downloading all the videos. Some of them I've seen before (on videos I bought) but others are new. I thoroughly enjoy films from that era, thanks again !!

Yes they are about in videos, I've had them posted here before and glad I put the links up again so any new guys coming on the forum can have a chance to see them,I've added another clip that I recorded from the TV its from the David Brown Tractor Museum,another bit of history down the pan.I put the link in the first post so I would not have to repost the download instructions.
Enjoy

Thanks, AJ, I've just downloaded the DB video. I used to go to school a few miles from Meltham, the home of DB, and have two of their tractors, a 1941 VAK1 and an early 1950s TAD3 (Diesel Trackmaster 30, or 30TD) in my small collection. The latter is in excellent 'working clothes' condition (unfortunately I don't have a photo to post, and not sure if a non-cat would be acceptable here !!. Driving the 30TD does take some getting used to, especially the foot clutch, after driving Cats, but it's also great fun.

Thanks again !

I think all the guys on here like machinery no matter who makes it,it was a pity to see DB taken over and then executed,Case done the same thing with Poclain and every one else they took,I just hope that JCB remains a family concern,all the home tractor makers are gone now and of course the same with cars,not one true brit left,everyone selling out regardless when they get a few more pence per share.I often wondered why DB sold out as their tractors were sold world wide and had a great name,Ferguson is swollowed up now too.glad you enjoyed the videos.

Can someone just e-mail me the videos? I was able to download the first video but haven't been able to download any of the remaining videos. I followed the instructions to clear the temp files but still no luck.

PS the video I did get downloaded was when this post was on the board a couple months ago

I had a problem with the first set of links I had posted as someone posted them on another forum which I happened to see,I used the kill code and renewed all the links so if anyone had the first links copied they will not work now,the links in the post above are good,I can email the clips to you if your email allows 70MB files,send me your email in a PM,for some reason using the method for clearing the tracking cookie does not work for every one but on checking tonight the waiting time was 32 minutes between downloads.
