Holt Bros Cat mechanic recently passed.
Billy was the guy we called at home when we needed advice or when we needed his skills to fix our Cats.
He was a field mechanic.His son Mark followed his dad and also was a Cat field mechanic with Holt.Sadly Mark passed several years ago.Mark used to give advice on here.Don't remember what name he used.
Maybe some of you had Billy work on something for you.
He was quite the story teller too.

Sorry to learn of his passing. Like many of the old school wrench guys, we are losing the few that kept everyone up and running. JM
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
