I FIRST "CATERPILLAR” DIESEL
I TRACTOR IN TERRITORY . . .
Still going strong today!
m
BACK IN 1934, Pete Miscovich bought one of the first “Caterpillar” Diesels in Alaska and “Caterpillar"
Diesels have played an important role in his mining operations ever since. The original Diesel “Fifty” still
>
puts out a good day’s work at the Miscovich mine near Flat, on Otter Creek, and Pete says;
*■«•*>
“There's nothing to compare with 1Caterpillar9
equipment for our mining operations. We have
a Diesel ‘Fifty', a ‘Caterpillar' D13000 Engine
in our drag shovel and a ‘Caterpillar' D8 Trac
tor . . . They're all easy to take care of and
each machine puts out a maximum of work."
The “Caterpillar” D8 Tractor is shown 'dozing pay dirt inlo a sluice at the rate of 1000 yards per ten-hour
shift. It also strips overburden, builds ditches and roads, and does generdl utility work about the mine.
Since the time Pete Miscovich brought his “Caterpillar” Diesel Tractor into Alaska, miners, freighters, con
struction men and many others have learned about and used dependable “Caterpillar" Diesel power. Why
not drop in at any one of our “Caterpillar” stores in Juneau, Fairbanks, Anchorage, Nome or Whitehorse?
