    Being a woman growing up on farms and dealing with a lot of old machinery and seeing you guys go and recover such an old well built piece of equipment. You should restore it and use it. You know those older things are far better with time. Plus it would be like me telling my husband since he's an old-timer that I'm going to fix you sell you and by a newer model. No my ole timer is far better than anything that has to be Rhode and drove for many of years before I have it broke in. New is not always better that baby still has a lot of miles.

    I was told my Dad's Grandmother was a cook on cattle drives in Eastern WA, around the time that Butch Cassidy was there. Unfortunately, my Grandfather became an orphan. He later trained horses and built the highway up to Mt Hood, during the Depression. He was born in 1888.

    I would really love to learn more about restoring these machines. Every episode I watch you guys cracking valves, spraying starting fluid, penetrating piston rings, and changing/cleaning filters. It seems like it's pretty simple to get the thing running provided we have the right diagrams or knowledge about the machines and where certain vital systems are located. Since I only had the chance to work on a loader restoration one time it would be really cool to see more in depth videos explaining how the stuff works and what you do to fix it. I'd love to do work like this but I wish I had more experience and I think your videos are a really good place to start learning.

    You mention that this cabin is near his home town (Beaver). Well, Butch was one of my Great Grandfather's dear friends and employee (when he needed to scrape up some coin and hideout). My older brother is named after him. Dated photos of Butch standing next to my GGF (a well known Utah railroad and road constructor) taken by a known Utah photographer were used five years ago to prove that Butch didn't die in Bolivia (as they were dated afterwards). As I'm sure you're aware, Butch was protected by many and seen as a hero (stealing from "the man" and giving to the needy). He is buried in the US, just not at this location...but rather near one of your recent visits...

    My grandfather told the story that when he was a small boy in Wellington Utah, when Butch Cassidy would ride into town he would pay my grandfather a Nickel to tend to his horse and to keep quiet. My great grandmother would always make sure that Butch had a hot meal. This story never made sense to me because my grandfather was born in 1905 making him just a toddler at the time of Cassidy's alleged death in Bolivia. If the story you shared is true, my grandfather's account makes more sense.

    Restore it... but i feel bad for the guys who let it sit for 15 years because they didn't know how, after you show them how little it's gonna take to get those tracks in good working order and whatever 15 years of sunshine and snow did to it.

      "restore it" entails returning it to factory new. IMHO, fix what's wrong, tune and fix what you see and then sell.

      16 years it sat there and they didn't even try to fix it. To the degree of entitlement and laziness that I can't even fathom. I wonder if they sold it or just gave it away.

    It's nice to watch people who are eccentric as I am having fun while working. I too am a descendant of Mormon Pioneers on my mothers side with being raised and living the first 49 years of my life in Carbon County, Utah. 2006 we moved to Farmington, NM. I wish I was there with your team to dowse for gold and silver stashes around the supposed favorite cabin of Butch Cassidy. If there is more than a couple of gold coins or a couple of small nuggets buried four feet deep, dowsing with the modern ball bearing dowsing rod would definitely locate the exact center and decipher the depth buried. I wrote a book named The Art of Dowsing - Separating Science from Superstition for teaching the world how to use physics with on ground dowsing using the modern ball bearing dowsing rod with the ability to use gravity as the gauge for deciphering the edges, exact center, depth buried, angle of deposition, and grading of the exact element that is used as the dowsing rod load. From dowsing buried water lines to tunnels or voids in the ground to precious metals to building your own modern ball bearing dowsing rod is taught in the book. Hope everyone has a nice day and thank you for reading this response.
