    holt 36 combine

    The family had a Caterpillar 36 combine, think it was the same as a Holt. Got the service, parts and sales brochures. Got scrapped sometime in the 40's when we went to Masseys. Think that John Deere bought the patents, think they had a model 36 just like the Caterpillar/Holt painted green.
