Holt Tractor manufactured some huge and weird and wonderful beasts in its early days for ploughing swampy central California fields and hauling goods up and down the Sierra foothills.
The Holt company's old very decrepit fire house building and a heavily rebuilt shed were still standing a few years ago near the corner Aurora Street with Hazelton in Stockton. Evidence of the rest of the once large
factory complex is long gone.
