Sacramento. where I live, was also a big sales area for Holt/Caterpillar, and still is for Cat. Cat was originally started in Peoria, Illinois. Many of their machines were born in this area. There are still quite a few old restored Holt machines in this area. I used to be a parts guy for Sacramento County and bought lots of Cat parts from the local Holt dealer for machines for road building/repairing, leveling land, and land fill use. There are some really good vintage farm/construction displays in the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys area.Very cool Greg!
Benjamin Holt's original proving grounds were in Stockton Ca, about 15 miles from me
