4:51 how many 300 gallon tanks do you have to drop in like that to get the holes on top that perfect? Thousands.

The 50,s were so cool !!!

A few small corrections.I grew up in Ltown. The land Leavittown was built on was not swamp and scrub brush but prime farm land. Some of the best soil anywhere in Bucks Co. The slabs the houses were built on had heating systems built in. The floor heat worked well until your house settled then the slab cracked and no more heat. Most Ltown homes now have baseboard heat. All in all it was a good place to grow up in the fifties and sixties. Now it is run down and over built and jammed with traffic

Wow, you are so right and said so much with three words. It's hard to believe but we used to manufacture things here. Now we design web pages.

Nice history.Bakchoes had not yet caught in 1956.The tractor,loaoder and backhoe had not been integrated as a single unit yet.

4:05, you see the 9 panels of back windows... love it!!

[dipslover]

Incredible..It shows them installing those untreated steel oil tanks that all rusted out and leaked!! What a class action!! HAHA.

[valpro99]

@dipslover Not exactly. They had a black enamal tar like paint. But they did rust out a few years later. I worked for Meenan Oil and used to hand dig the tanks out in the 70's as not to distrub the lawn.

[MihiLibertas]

where do you get these attachments anymore.

Don't make them

[Chocolateshower]

wow!

American style i so beautiful!!

[wboquist]

I have five of those tractors - they're still hard-working, easy-to-service machines half a century later. I've never seen that ditch witch implement before.

una maquina bastante muy versatil, por que no hacen equipo asi en la actualidad, que tiempos aquellos de los 50 y los 60, hoy por hoy todo debe de ser mas grande, ostentoso, y poco economico.
