Introduction

Caterpillar Thirty-Five Crawler Tractor

The Caterpillar Thirty-Five is an agricultural crawler tractor produced between 1932 and 1934 in Peoria, Illinois, USA. Designed for heavy-duty field operations, this machine represents a significant period in early 20th-century agricultural mechanization.

Engine Specifications

The tractor is powered by a 3-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 520 cubic inches (8.5 liters). It features a liquid-cooling system and operates at a rated speed of 850 RPM. The engine configuration uses a bore and stroke of 5.25 by 8.00 inches (133 by 203 mm), delivering a power output of 48 horsepower.

Transmission and Drivetrain

The Thirty-Five utilizes a gear-type transmission system. It is equipped with 4 forward gears and 1 reverse gear to manage power delivery to the drivetrain. As a crawler tractor, it relies on tracks rather than wheels for propulsion, providing necessary grip for agricultural tasks.

Dimensions and Chassis

The machine has a total weight of 12,830 lbs (5,819 kg). It is fitted with 14-inch tracks, which distribute the weight to maintain traction on various soil conditions. The operator interface consists of an open station configuration, standard for tractors of this era.

Conclusion

With its robust engine and crawler design, the Caterpillar Thirty-Five was engineered to provide reliable performance in demanding agricultural environments. Its technical configuration remains a point of interest for collectors and historians of industrial farm machinery.
