I grew up watching my dad run Bucyrus Erie’s of all sizes. Cranes, Shovels or excavator. He made it look easy. Old timers like him were the real deal. He loved running clam shell setting stone. He loved the cable hoe. He hated running a drag line sad it would get to boring though he made it look so fluid. He had a little 10-B we kept at our home. He always claimed that Erie’s were indestructible and would out last most other types of machines he ran. I think he was right because many are still be used today that were made in the forties. I think about him when i bitch about the hard day I had in a excavator. It’s not even close to the hot and cold long days days he spent in those machines. Hats off to the iron men of yesterday a breed long gone.
Looks like the front drum brake is dragging - possibly not clearing the drum equally all the way round. Clamshells are really fussy about the closing drum brake. Nice to see the old girl working though !
Got to have the same number of wraps and position of both lines on both drums with the clam closed to follow right. I always kept a little drag on the hoist line by slipping the clutch so when the clam closed the hoist started up with the closing line. Then latch it in and then unlatch both when they got the bucket where you wanted. I learned all this mess feeding an asphalt plant in the Army.
Not sure about brake adjustment watched my dad adjust the bands on the clutches he always kept the brake peddles adjusted low to the floor and when I asked him why he told me if you had to run it all day you wood understand. Not just bragging because he was my dad but people that knew him said he was one of the best operators they had ever seen. I stood next to a man one day at a job that my dad was running a clamshell on and this guy that didn’t know me said that he had never seen anyone run a machine so smooth and fast like that. I told him that’s my dad.Then he told me that he himself was a crane operator for many years and had never seen such talent.
Hadir duluan kawan,sungguh canggih cara pengambilan sampah nya tuh,saya tambah satu kawan biar ga mampet tuh,salam sukses selalu dan amanah...good your vidio i like brother...
Strangely satisfying to watch. 21st-century machine operators sure have it cushy now and they just would not do what grandpa did. An 8-hour shift on that old girl you would be deaf and half paralyzed.
Grapple is completely different than dragline operator needs to adjust brakes if that is not the problem the trip line friction is dragging . He probably doesn't know how to adjust either he could also mount springs on brake as brake has tendency to roll on surface causing drag
I think that if that were me and I was having trouble checking the swing... I would wait a few seconds before I took a chance on ginking that spillway gate linkage
Meagan Christie There were lots of cast iron parts on the head gate mountings and mechanisms so I had to be very careful. Visibility was not a problem. The most frustrating part was getting the grapple to open. I is homemade and is a little stiff in the middle. Needs a little work. The machine is a little stiff too, lots of dried hard grease. It haven’t been ran in over 20 years. This was its first job in a long time and it was king of an emergency situation. The river was too high to safely put equipment in and too far to reach with anything else that was available at the time. It has since been cleaned up and worked over quite a bit. It got the job done quickly and inexpensively. Thanks for the comments.
You got through it. I like to see company's utilizing older gear. It is always a challenge when they have sat for long periods. It was a interesting project. Looking forward to seeing the old girl again.
I think it is difficult to run such an old machine if you have no practice and routine. That old machine is for sure not working on a daily basis. For me the driver is excused.
U are completely wrong these machine can be set up to run smoothly the operator not driver! Is probably to lazy or doesn't know how to adjust machine correctly!
Jim Hammond well, not everybody is as smart as you. Maybe the driver really does not know how to adjust the machine - could be hard to find someone who is familiar with such an old machine when you need it. Best would be: go there and prove that you can do better. I mean driving the machine, not just playing smartass in youtube comment section.
The operator seems to me needs an extended course in dragline 101, cause i kinda doubt that that grapple is that stiff 🤔, cause the machine appears to be working very good
Home made grapple, not quite enough weight in the center. It has since been worked over and doing much better. That was the most frustrating part to have it keep sticking. You were right, the machine itself was working pretty good in spite of having sat for 25 years prior to this.
Considering it’s a gravity grapple vs a modern hydraulic operated, I thought the operator was highly skilled an patient getting the grapple lined up with the debris he was picking up. Thanks, nice to history in action, doing real work .

Heck of a good camera operator, if you ask me!
Tough old machine. Good operator

I was in a 20 that had a coal stove in it. Loaded salt and was kept up so well that you couldn't see it . Steel cable with stainless clam shell.

Nice old machine... thanks for sharing...

Just the fact that that 60 or 70 year old machine still runs in an achievement by itself, never mind that it actually still operates as well.

ANd the operator ain't worth a shit.

I think he's at a bad angle and his view is blocked badly by the boom and the machine its self.
It looks like they need to bring back some of the old tools just modernize them a bit
We only import the finest equipment from Panama.
Anyone know where this is? To think I take crap running an “ancient” 2005 machine!

Isso é para quem sabe, não é para quem quer
That thing has to be 70 years old, at least. But it is the right tool for that job.

No profressional
You mean like you? Reach up and hit that flush lever, and go where you belong
Operador muito ruim será que não tinha um profissional melhor
Yeah? That's what your mom said about you, princess
No
You know Bucyrus ? Erie ? Nope ! Not even spooky.
Well aren't you a comedian though
