Classic Dozer: 1926 Cat Twenty

Took these this past summer. I have been working on creating a Calotype look in Gimp, I think I have finally got it sorted mostly.

This was a very interesting model for Caterpillar. californiaagmuseum

I wish... Still haven't sorted the grain look addition yet, still trying to figure that out. I kind of like it with no grain for what it's worth. I actually know the guy, he lives in the same town our plant is located and I do powder coating occasionally for him. The thing is a 20HP mule for sure.

Just rub a little 90wt on your finger and tickle it under the crank! I quite like the look of these with the high contrast; it seems appropriate.

That's 20 old-fashioned horsepower. Probably develops 20 hp at about 900 rpm with 500 ft-lbs of torque.

These certainly have a film feel to them. I like the balance of lights and darks in the last.
