- We picked up a Northwest 41 dragline and hauled it back to the shop. This is something that I always wanted to run and should make for some cool videos to come.

I was today years old when I figured out what great grandpa said, "Boy, you better learn tour ropes. 😆 🤣 😂
Good on you Clinton for filming the struggle. In the late 60s one Monday morning, my Father (the Forman) came up to me and said follow me. He walked into the back of the shipyard and walked me up to an old Link belt speeder cable crane, and said "Learn to start it, then learn how to operate it because were buying a Marine travel lift and we need a crane to put it together". Then he walked back into the shipyard and left me there. I think I have an idea of how you felt unloading the Northwest crane! I wish I could recall more information about the link belt but I'm too old and there isn't anyone left to ask.
Aw. The last two lines of this brought a tear to my eye 💓
@@bignaughtydog As a kid I’d head out to the nearest constructions site after school to watch the old Link Belt and Northwest cable hoes digging the next subdivision. Late 50’s. Seems like yesterday. Wish it was!
@@tomrogers9467 these memories are all we have, unless we took a camera of course. It's what gives us our interest I guess. Young lads and big noisy machines. Mens work. Thank you for sharing your memories Tom. My memories were of class 33 and 47 freight trains when as a paperboy 11 years old in the UK. Loved the Sulzer engine sound. It was felt before it was heard. The particular track is long since gone and as now is a cycle way. Such is most old railway cuttings in the UK.
When I was growing up we lived next to a construction company and just behind our house was a rock crusher and screening plant and every year the company would bring a very large Lorain crane with a clamshell bucket to Clean out the settling pond when ever they moved the crane from job to job the operator would ride in the crane to swing the house and boom to make it around the sharp curves and turns great videos as always keep it up in time you will become proficient God Bless
Sounds similar to how I got started with a LB Speeder 98. "This lever does this, this brake does this, have at it. Don't break it".
1967 Great Year 👌😎
Put A New Dpf & Catalytic Converter On It & It'll Run Dandy 🤣😂🤣🙈🙈👍
Yes sir. That’s when men were men. Now that’s an awesome piece of equipment. Another Awesome Video
PS. Loved watching you pull those levers Clint ! That's why I have arthritis in every joint in my body! I'm almost 70 yrs old, and now I operate the newer equipment, Which I thought would save on my old body. Now I have carpal tunnel in my wrists, from those whippy joy sticks !! I just can't win lol 😂. But I do enjoy heat , and air conditioning!!!!
Oh damn, this could be fun. Just think "outside the box" Clint (and give yourself PLENTY of space). 😂😂
That crane is super cool. Love the footage of the f-superduty following behind loaded with the bucket!
Easy to start and operate, roomy cab, great visibility, nice and quiet. It even has a seat. What's not to like!
LOL! Clint looks a little stressed trying to drive that old monster.
Great challenge here. Your project should be really fun to see how you really refurbish this crane and feel good about it.
"Viewers cool content", would a D9-10 or 11 fit into that category, HMMMM??? Thanks for all the work you do so we can watch! May you have a prosperous New Year.
Clinton, a new toy, hand Kiven a paint gun and paint it camouflage with the American Flag on the sides
They’re a place in pa called crane specialist inc. they have old stock of northwest parts if you need them. Great video! Love old iron
Just remember, when passing by a penitentiary like this, never pick up hitchhikers and especially if they are wearing bright orange coveralls.
I believe there are lots of road signs advising the same.
Now ask ITR if they have parts for it :) 😃
Never seen Clint so concentrated doing stuff 😅😅
that 4 cylinder is HUGE and sounds amazing : ). Just snug the tracks up and its good to go : ) Love to see everything Mechanical, cant imagine a operator today spending 10+ hours a day running that, year round : ) At one time that was the latest and greatest machine, state of the art with all the comfort features : )
I used to run cranes like these in the Scottish Steel Works. You needed to be like an octopus to operate them. At the end of your shift you felt like you went 9 rounds with Mike Tyson. Love, health and respect from Scotland UK.
The worst part is if you’d have gone 9 rounds with Mike Tyson you probably would’ve made more money. If I were to guess I’d say the gears aren’t synchronized in that old pig. 🤣
Three axle lowboy. Big overhang . Country roads and no pilot car. What could go wrong?
Good driving.
Gee, I tuned in and saw that ole crane and I thought I was watching Deisel Creek's channel LOL.🤣
What a great video! You and Kevin work so well together and the humor is perfect. I was in stitches. I love seeing this old stuff brought to life. It is made even more enjoyable by you and Kevin fun at it!
I almost p*ssed myself laughing when Kevin said it’s as bad as watching a 15yr old girl learning how to drive a stick shift for the 1st time. 🤣
Great content, as always. Transformation vids are the best. Farm, land grading and old equipment revival.
Great video Clint, my dad worked for Northwest for 42 years. The company headquarters were in Chicago, but all the machines were manufactured in Green Bay WI. Terex bought them out in the mid Eighties, not sure if they have manuals etc online or not. They were built to last according to those who used them. Can't wait to see the series.
That will be an interesting project, it is quite a learning curve when a "First Timer" steps aboard a Drag Line to commence meaningful work :-)
Don't forget to hit that like button it doesn't cost you anything but it surely helps out this channel and Clint out alot
I loved the “in house” camera shot of Clint running this rig for the first time. This is good stuff. Thanks Kevin n Clint
We used to haul a 41 northwest with the boom in it. The biggest thing to watch out for is hitting power lines when going over railroad tracks. Don’t ask how we figured that out! 😂
60 years ago, when I was just a kid, my dad had a small dragline like that. I spend MANY hours in it digging ponds! I ended up buying the farm from my parents and now a couple of those ponds that I dug, are mine. lol SR
Takes some doing getting the ol girl moving the way you want it. Love the in cab part with Clint concentrating a whole bunch. The three of you, Clint, DP Mike and Diesel Creek Matt should start a drag line club. 🙂 ... to add I like the new intro.
I’ve worked on Marion and Bucyrus draglines for the last 15 years so seeing and old friction rig like this is super cool. But seeing the flatbed 7.3 haul a dragline bucket is just badass! Good job fellas, can’t wait to see what you guys do with it.
I can remember being loaded with a drag line years ago he was skilled and knew how much to put on the truck 👍
Thank goodness there was a Dollar General, is there any road left in the states without a Dollar General? - lol
Darn few!
You and DP could have a drag race! 🤣 Only by the time he gets his up and running that might be in a few years. 🤗 Really love the sound of your rig, so sweet.
I'm in love with his jake brake LoL
Clint, when you took off that battery cable it brought back memories. From 1979-1995, I worked at Globe Union battery plant in Louisville KY and we made the CAT batteries. Those old rubber case batteries then the new Poly case 4D and 8D batteries would give you a workout.
Definitely will be interesting video updates? Gonna be a big changes for you to learn it but sure you will have no problem sir. Loaded under one like this for 2 years and was amazed at how the little guy handled it. Smooth as butter once you catch on to it but glad I was a truck driver? Lol, thanks again for another great video sir. Sure you will rule.
Would love to see a whole series on a full restoration
The smile on your face says it all Clint, looking forward to restoration project.
I ran the old 41back in the 1960's with a steam shovel front on it. Loading trucks in a open pit. rocks were used to login roads around Astoria Oregon.
What an awesome video!! I don't know who does the editing but jumping back and forth from Clint to Kevin and back to Clint on the way home was great. It looks like Kevin may have turned left on a red light in one the towns you drove through!! 🙂 Clint, I don't believe I have ever heard you say you don't have any idea on how to do something. But that didn't stop you from backing it off your trailer and maneuvering it back to the wash area. Very much looking forward to this playlist!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
It should look pretty cool when serviced and cleaned up, you and Mike with your love for drag lines. 👍
I worked for a company that had a bunch of those type of cranes back in the early 90's. They had all the books and everything on them. It was T. A. Loving Company in N.C. they are still around and still have a few of them in their yard, try reaching out to them. Otherwise, there should still be copies in the archives of the US Army Corp of Engineers, as they had those type of cranes in use untill the early 90's. I remember working on those cranes and none of them are fond memories!
Thanks
If you only knew how much we were enjoying you having drivers ed! Great job, better bring that to the pike show.
WOW what an old beast!! Can't wait to see you working on this!! Maybe hook up with Matt from Diesel Creek he has one? Stay safe!!
Well, Matt Diesel Creek is gonna be jealous if he sees this one.
His property is peppered with old antique excavation equipment and his is definitely smaller than this beast.
Good score Clint.
That's a true Big Boy's Toy.
Not to mention the shop truck is definitely proving it's worth.
Ate a bag of oncrete mix...... not much makes me laugh, but that got a solid snort. Nice, Kevin.
Northwest was in Greenbay WI. Cat,Komatsu,Hitachi mining equipment factory’s are in Milwaukee WI then ship everything by large cargo ships on the Great Lakes to Canada or by rail. It’s mind blowing what they put on the ships.
Clint looks terrified at one point! 😂😂
OH dear. Have you been close to Diesel Creek by any chance?
Northwest Engineering Co., an industrial giant in the Green Bay manufacturing market especially during the 1930s through the 1960s.
The first crane was released in early 1921 with a 45-foot boom and a shovel of one and one-quarter cubic yards. In its final years, that shovel had increased to five to 10 cubic yards.
The 82 years of production saw 28,011 machines delivered before operations were closed down in 1990.
Very cool
Back when a “Scan Tool” was a good set of eyeballs and a strong flashlight!
@@tomrogers9467 exactly
You definitely get an upper body workout operating that thing! I know DP had said something about wanting one, but I think that one is in too good a condition since he wanted it for "yard art" at the Market as I recall 🤣 Cosmetically it looks like it's in pretty good shape for a 55 year old piece of equipment.
Clint how would you like to 8-10 hrs inside of this modern machine? You will definitely need to grease and oil a bunch of areas so the levers work a little better. You need a rod that fits the hole to hold the oil pressure still it starts instead of a 40 penny nail. Stay safe
You've been hanging out with Matt from diesel creek to much hahaha for got dirt perfect
Great video, Clinton and Kevin. That thing is a beast. You definitely have to teach Kevin how to operate that unit. Nice job unloading and parking it, Clinton. Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks 👍
Putting Kevin in the 'house' to operate it will be the Crow eating for Kevin of a girl running her first stick shift. All my kids had to learn on a stick shift vehicle; planned that way. Daughter was in the Navy and they needed a truck moved on the flight line and they asked if anyone knew how to drive a stick and she was the only one in the group of mostly men that raised her hand; mission accomplished.
Is that double clutch? TLC and lots of oil. HeeHee
How about adding some strobe lights in the front and back of the shop truck an a light bar on the stake bed
When I was younger I worked with a construction company who had a bucyrus-erie. Thadeus could work that machine, boom and buckets like it was just third arm!
Keeping that pony and main engines operating Tip-Top were crucial especially for starting in the winter!
I love the idea for a flagpole and wonder if you could use it for a write-off also?
If I'm ever driving in New Territory and I see a flag eye in the sky becomes a significant life-saving landmark!
Don't start making videos like this guy Westen Champlin cause I will stop watching. I hate that kinda stuff.
You fellows have done it now! Ya brought home the tall, knock knee, buck toothed girl from the dance. She will prolly be happy at her new home. She's a nice one. Clutches and levers, hours and hours of fun. Clint looked intense trying to get her to a landing spot.
Looks as if you have to be like a one legged man in a butt kicking contest to operate it.
I would have guessed older than ‘67. I mean I’m even older than that. Rustier too.
Now that one would be pretty cool to do a complete running restoration on it just so everything works as it did back in the day! Don’t have to be perfect just as long as everything works
That’s the idea
About 35 years ago (man I'm gettin old) we used a dragline to lift pulp trailers to change springs. I would swing and lift with it but if we had to move it well, that was the boss' job. lol. Keep smilin, you'll figure it out.
Of course, Kevin's dog ate concrete mix. Always nice to take a drive through Terrible Haute
And my guys start bitchin when the AC or the radio stops working on air-ride dust free electronic flick a button new equipment now... lol Thats a real mans toy!
Exactly
No wires just hands on know how made by men for men made as tough as the machine I'll watch every minute of video more than once can't wait for the next amazing video straight out of the world headquarters of C&C university
Where's the sign that say " Don't pickup hitchhikers " 😮
How many martini's did Kevin have for lunch? I never seen a guy cross the centerline so many times. I'm from Wisconsin, and we drink beer for breakfast , but still keep it on the road. What's up with that?
He thinks he was driving a wide load also
When I first saw this rig I think of Matt from Diesel Creek. I know he has learned alot about these rigs.
If you have not already found one and need a copy, then PM me, as I have a PDF copy of the Northwest 41 Operators manual, which I would be happy to forward to you. I also have a copy of the parts book.
That would be awesome
I have reached out to a few people but nothing yet
My machine is the older style with hand controls… not air
Send me an email to sales@ccsurplus.com
I have see too much of this old stuff around western Oregon just get clapped out and eventually cut for scrap. Nice to see more saved to live on👍👍
These to c&c yo did a good job kw from wva.
u boys need longer trailer...........lol
It's obvious these can't turn on a dime 🤣
Pucker factor, 10. Success priceless.
I'd be for looking for someplace else to put that beautiful fuel tank on the shoptruck. Just sayin'
Now I know Bridget will have a heart attack when she sees all these Nappa receipt's coming in but she will smile when she remembers, it is Mike who will be paying them, thank you Clinton and Kevin for another exciting video can not wait to see the strip down and re-build of this beast.
🤦♀️🤦♀️ I see a lot of labor costs in this one 😂
Trying to figure out which truck sounds better.
Running on the big screen and a amp with subwoofer nice 🤔👍
Back in the early 70's, I ran the same model. What a beast. Another guy that had no idea what he was doing went to move it. He put the boom raise in gear without knowing it. As he walked it the boom slowly crept up, till it went over backwards. Ha Ha !! Thankfully no one was hurt. Good Luck, you will need it!
So exciting! Can't wait to get started!
My dad ran one of those in a gravel pit when I was a kid in the early 70’s. I was scared to death of all those moving parts inside the house
I think the crane boom would've been a smashing hit at the round abouts. Lol God bless
Lol
I think that's the same machine Fred and Barney used to operate for Mr. Slate,lol 😆. Hope you guys can get her back to her former glory👍
Lol
Reminds me of the old days my 1st job was running up I think it was deep 4-D 6 it was really old and had a pony motor on it so I had to learn how to operate that to start the main entrance before I can learn anything else about the bulldozer that was an experience
Blocking, Bracing, Thomming , and Shoring, go slow with no support under the boom 🤯
Cleaning out a pond?
When watching you guys moving equipment I see persistent C & C = careful and cautious. No racing thru entry ways. No over speeding while loading and unloading. S & S = slow and sure.
Good day Mr. Clinton, from watching ' the Northwest 41 video, your back up truck is subject to normal traffic operations, that being said the back up truck must have identifying safety lights in use, to avoid any citation of slower speeds, as a normal operater in traffic conditions
Never thought I would see you out of your comfort zone on a piece of equipment Clinton but damn you were grinning at the same time ! = )
That bucket looked a whole lot bigger on the back of the shop truck and extremely have since the backend is sagging.
Watching this brings back alot of memories of my 41!!! Running Draglines is a art and it's fun!!! The best words of advice I can give you is if you get aggravated with it walk away for awhile then come back and try again that's how I learned to run them don't run em aggravated
I find that helps with allot of things lol
I ran a Ruston Bucyrus 14RB dragline on our farm in southern Australia, cleaning irrigation channels and drains. If I didn't stop for a couple of minutes every half hour, the cables would start tangling. Fun to operate though.
Good Lord that thing is Huge!! I swear in between Clinton grabbing seemingly every leaver like a madman you could catch him grinning ear to ear. this will be interesting to say the least.....lol
My Uncle used to operate one like that for the Bureau of Reclamation back in the 1940s and 50s.
Three sweet sounding engines. Beautiful ❤️
Wow. If you slipped and fell, put hands out to brace, many things trying to kill or maim you! Cool project though.
I love Kevin’s dry humor….. “looks like it’s got enough gears in there to chew you up pretty good if you screw up”.😁
I can tell you a story about that
Not exactly a spacious cab for the operator . Clinton fills it up pretty good indeed .
A sheriff over here in my state wanted to give me a ticket for driving under the speed limit, while I was chasing the owner of the pickup truck and 70 ton terex crane, 4 axles
So you playing the mines bigger game with DPS has 60' boom
All you guys buying these old drag line crawlers what's up ,Now you Clint ,Matt and Mike also have one ,Looks like a lot of Child hood dreams coming to fruition ,Good on you ,That's the difference between Wants and Needs .I like it
you can wipe out a few things with the tail swing lol
Only the cool kids have their own dragline. Got that box checked !! Next donuts and burn outs! Good on ya!!
