Super cool,hard to believe its still a worker after near 40 years still.In real straight shape.The close pin to pin distance on the bucket pivot and curl linkage must hugely reduce bucket breakout force and only give excessive speed in return i'd think.Great find!!
Ah, good to see you following your fellow excavator enthusiasts, Skadill, and an interesting observation you make regarding the closeness of the pins. I'm very interested in what you and PAmining have to say about the differing characteristics of the Detroit diesel and Cummins. I've no experience of the Detroit and am unsure if it made its way into many machines in the UK, but listening to the videos posted , it sounds powerful, if a bit noisy! Certain British lorry manufacurers such as Foden and ERF produced 2 stroke diesels up to the late fifties and early sixties and I believe they were well regarded.
Just guessing,but i would think a close pin linkage geometry would cause the bucket cylinder to stall out under heavier load .This would create a hydraulic relief valve bypass often,and could lead to machine running a bit hotter on those already hot days.
Keep in mind, almost all Bucyrus cable excavators had right-hand cabs. Bucyrus continued that design tradition with its hydraulic excavators so operators who had previously run Bucyrus cable machines could transition more easily.
Nobody else said it so I will; Do us Detroit Diesel fans a favor and turn that key on and let us here it! Seriously - how about one of your action videos of this one. Thanks!
Very interesting video, I don't think these machines were ever sold here in the UK. For a while the Ruston Bucyrus marketed a hydraulic excavator but none were as large as the machine you've shown. She seems to be in quite good order apart from the threadbare bucket!
Old bucyrus Erie sure did make a hell of a machine in it's day exspecially there dynohoe backhoe loader that from a mechanics point of view if you ask me really like your videos can't wait for more new one thank you Ed James
Edward I own a 1978 Dynahoe 190 2 wheel drive. 8500 hours on her. I use it for my garden and around house yard work. It still runs strong. Just seal replacement on Hydraulic cylinder. And of course Hydraulic hoses. I bought it in 2003. I ran them in the late 70s. Loved the backhoe part being totally connected to the main frame of machine.
Great video i use to see quite a few of these on jobs years ago they were good machines , the one in your video looks to be a good operating condition , thanks for posting keep up the fine work .
That thing belongs in a museum someone has took great care of it. I've never seen one and I've been around for a while. Where in the world would you get parts.
Thanks for the informative video. I used to be in Construction before this time. I never got to be around any of these machines at all. Its good for me to learn some about these Great 0l' Machines.
H's fine as things I hope are in Taxes! Budds popping here in the hills but in the 40's and a bit nippy outside. Hope the best for yall and God IS good, ALL the time!
The company I work (Kokosing Construction) for still has a Bucyrus Erie 500H that still gets used on jobs. I would love to see it sometime and see how it compares to this machine
Almost all Bucyrus cable excavators had right-hand cabs. When Bucyrus introduced the H-Series hydraulic excavators, they kept the right-hand cab design so operators who had run Bucyrus cable excavators could transition over to the hydraulic series more easily.
very robust machines, these machines, you see, there is no oil leakage anywhere, maniacal machines, these are boom and cylinder parts, and the walking gear is disastrous, I think such robust machines sleep in the junkyards, a pity sin

His videos are so cool. ''ok now lets take a look inside the operator's cab'' one of my favorite lines to hear on youtube
7:15 From under here, you can see where the massive oil leak is located!
Massive Oil Leak, also known as a Detroit.
Great video! Amazing it’s still operating considering the age.

Couldn't they just put a different bucket on then to correct such an issue?
Absolutely,that would take care of it.Would dig like a different machine then.Good observation.
I think it would also increase bucket rotation as well, but like you say it wouldn't be much for pryin out a doug fir stump lol
Good find, Pal! Looks like she's still going strong!
The cab being on the opposite side throws me off all the time this seems to be common on most older excavators, awesome find great video!

PAmining so cool! Koehrings were like this too weren't they?
Yes, they were right-hand cab too

I've tried so many times to catch this machine working, but it's one of those hit or miss cases. Thanks
An excellent presentation as always from PH Mining about an excavator that must be said is in excellent condition for its age. 👍
Very interesting video, I don't think these machines were ever sold here in the UK. For a while the Ruston Bucyrus marketed a hydraulic excavator but none were as large as the machine you've shown. She seems to be in quite good order apart from the threadbare bucket!
Considering the two holes in the bucket, missing front glass, and completely opaque side window, that seat's in surprisingly good shape.
Old bucyrus Erie sure did make a hell of a machine in it's day exspecially there dynohoe backhoe loader that from a mechanics point of view if you ask me really like your videos can't wait for more new one thank you Ed James
Thanks Ed! Glad you like them! I always try to provide as much mechanical information that I have access to about a machine

I heard they were decent machines. Thanks!
Beautiful piece of machinery. History for sure.
GREAT VIDEO
Wow! That bucket needs some love!
That thing belongs in a museum someone has took great care of it. I've never seen one and I've been around for a while. Where in the world would you get parts.
Awesome machine!
And you also have a CRYSTAL CLEAR view right through the holes in the bucket !
Keep it up
The holes in the bucket are there to strain out water.lol
Does anyone know what happened to Walter Bennet from the Bennetshovel TH-cam page? I know he was up there in age, hope he is doing well
UnitCrane514 Walter's in a nursing home dude
PAmining I had no idea, was it recent? Like since he was last posting videos? Is his equipment going to a good home?
You asked ages ago, but sadly Walter passed away in September of 2020.
what an old machine :D
but i still like it
Great 👍👍👍
Quite interesting, have never seen one of these. In fairly good shape considering its age. Would so love to hear that Detroit start up
Very good video 👌
Thank you, glad you liked it!
Thanks for the informative video. I used to be in Construction before this time. I never got to be around any of these machines at all. Its good for me to learn some about these Great 0l' Machines.
Hi Danny! Keep kicking!
Thanks glad you enjoyed it! Excavator evolution is always cool to learn about
Sho' 'nuff!
Hey There 0l' Friend. What a Sureprize to see Ya again❗ How is my 0l' Brother in the Lord?
H's fine as things I hope are in Taxes! Budds popping here in the hills but in the 40's and a bit nippy outside. Hope the best for yall and God IS good, ALL the time!
5:40 nice bucket.
haha turn key
The company I work (Kokosing Construction) for still has a Bucyrus Erie 500H that still gets used on jobs. I would love to see it sometime and see how it compares to this machine
The last one has been restored and placed in front of the Fredericktown office
He sound like the old John Deere training videos. You even have the buzzing sound of the microphone
NICE !, This could be used as PAminig's introduction video to the channel.
555 was a v8 I rebuilt alot of them.
Wow, that excavator seems to be in really good shape for its age.
👍👍👍
thanks!
What are the small lines on the back of the boom next to the hydraulic lines?
Great video 👍:)
other than the bucket she seems to be in decent shape.
Check out my latest video for a rare hydraulic excavator ill be bringing home soon.
Why is the cab on the right ?
Almost all Bucyrus cable excavators had right-hand cabs. When Bucyrus introduced the H-Series hydraulic excavators, they kept the right-hand cab design so operators who had run Bucyrus cable excavators could transition over to the hydraulic series more easily.
Thank you.
Because its not on the left
before Japan took over.
What's the control pattern?
Not to many guys could run them because they were a free swinging machine
thats a lot of fibreglass once again a nice documentary
It is compared to modern machines. Thanks!
A company by me still has three 325h's. One for parts and two they run regularly. I love these old machines.
Something doesn't look right with that bucket. Lol. Sweet machine.
Looks like the bucket could use a bit of armour
Looks like someone took care of that ol girl. I ran a jd 690 once. It was weird cab being on right side of boom
Looked like the keys s
Are in.. Let's start it up
Would like to see a doc on a cat 994
That will be coming up in the future. Thanks
Neat never seen one of those it odd they placed the cab to the right of the main boom
Most the old machines are to a certain age then went over to the left and it's funny around that time when lots of makes stopped trading
Man lotsa oil spill under the machine :S
very robust machines, these machines, you see, there is no oil leakage anywhere, maniacal machines, these are boom and cylinder parts, and the walking gear is disastrous, I think such robust machines sleep in the junkyards, a pity sin
Long time no see Chief :)
Only been three weeks! This weather needs to get nicer here so I can get back to doing what I do!
Apostolsky
PAmining love your videos, can u please do a video on a ruston bucyrus factory/production plant
they were not comon in my area koering was king till cat came

theres a hole in the bucket
