Rare Lorain Scope Shovel (believed to be 1 of 1 in existence) and Case MC-1150

There are some great shots of the Lorain Scoop Shovel, operated by George, and a Case MC-1050 with 4-in-1 bucket working next to each other at the Historical Construction Equipment Association International Convention and Old Equipment Exposition in Bowling Green, Ohio 2022. It's really awesome to video these workers of yesterday and I have some great closeup shots of the shovel working near the end of the video.

Such a unique machine

That is definitely a unique piece of equipment. Very cool.

That is bizarre. Very cool.

1 in 1 existence means it's legendary

Re: Lorain Scoop Shovel
I remember seeing this in CB Colby's "Earthmovers" when I was little . Interesting to actually see it in action!

There is one of these sitting on my great uncles farm… Completely overgrown by trees, but we’ve always wondered what it was! Thanks for posting this video

Interesting machine! I wish the bucket crowd operating mechanism was shown more clearly. It appears the crowd is cable operated, but I don't know how the bucket dipper (crowd) arms are withdrawn when the arms are horizontal. Gravity would allow the arms to withdraw when the arms are at an angle, but not when the arms are horizontal, & a cable can only pull, not push.
The bucket dumping function is clearly hydraulically operated, & I wonder if the engine on the rear (counterweight) of the machine is only for operating a hydraulic pump?

I'll post a future video that should show it more clearly.

Nice job on the video. I hope that George is planning to bring this machine to other shows as it would be iteresting to watch in person. Thanks for posting

That's faster than our John Deere loader.😅

That Lorain thing is crazy....

[@christianmoore7046]

Was this machine a prototype because it doesn't appear to have a very refined look to it.

[@tractorsandmachines]

Not to the best of my knowledge.

[@lewismartin9980]

Cool I need to attend one this show they do this every year?

[@tractorsandmachines]

They generally rotate locations... however, the show will be in Bowling Green, Ohio again for 2023.

[@arthurtomczak8474]

Got to be home made .

[@tractorsandmachines]

No sir... this is a factory shovel. At one time I found an advertisement for this model. I'll see if I can find it again and provide a link, or maybe someone else can.

[@rbgking8889]

Obviously a step in the technical evolution which came to late 🤔

[@ferdinandocappelletti6740]

Good morning, very very incredible and rare machine
