Located within the Siskiyou County Historical Society Outdoor Museum are historic buildings, agricultural, mining and logging equipment such as this Caterpillar Sixty horsepower tractor. This tractor was manufactured in the 1920s and 1930s for various uses. This particular tractor was used in logging operations to aid in hauling logs out of forests. There's a iron logging arch behind this tractor that would have been hitched to the Caterpillar for skidding logs.
I located a blog site devoted to historic logging equipment and contains pictures of caterpillars and logging arches and includes a picture of the two pieces together.
Wikipedia also has a nice writeup on the history of this Caterpillar model.
