    41 years ago my parents bought some undeveloped land and my Dad was able to bring equipment from work to use on it. As a 5 year old getting access to see and ride on scrapers, dozers, FEL's and graders, it made a huge impression on me, both in appreciating the machinery and also appreciating that my Dad (and Mom) literally built the place from the ground up. Sets a guy up for life with that experience.

It looks like you were having a blast there, I love messing around with old outdated machinery that got us to where we are today!

    My heart goes to the D-6. When I was around 4 or 5 years old, I sat on the tool box while my Grandfather operated one of his D-6's. Eventually, around 7 years old, I was operating it on my Grandfather's property. I wasn't tall and strong enough to operate his Austin-Western Master 99 grader. 4 wheel drive/steering, ALL hydraulics and 90% of options tied to it.

He said that while it could haul a lot, the turning radius was large enough that designing roads for it was a pain in the ass/uneconomical a lot of times. That truck now resides in Sparwood, British Columbia, Canada. Worth a stop if in the area. Thanks for showing us a cool Terex!

    Back in the early 70's we took a college field trip to western Kentucky to an open pit coal mine that supplied coal to a TVA power plant at Paradise, KY. We went to see the worlds biggest, I think it was a drag line to remove the over burden from the coal seam. It was electric operated. Never saw it cleary because of too many beverages. What an awesome sight. Trees looked like toothpicks!

You may have made a slip up early in the video when filming the small dozer. You said that would be something you'd want for your kid. That's the first I've heard you mention about children. I would certainly hope that you would have one (or more) to pass along your knowledge. Looking forward to the next "fix it up" video.

    Good afternoon,
    My name is Matt, also, and I am a 67 year old Marine who used to be an equipment operator when I was in the Corps. I think it is really neat that you find, repair and operate these pieces of engineer equipment that are my age - and the age of the stuff I used to run. Way back in the early 70's when I was a young Jarhead, learning the job, the Corps big dozer was a Terex 82-30. The track loader was the 850 Case, and the articulated wheel loader was a Terex 72-31. Our motor grader was an Adams/ Wabco. Almost everything was powered with various 71 or 53 series Detroit diesels. Keep up the good work.

    Dad had a 52 Sterling....he loved that truck. He was a hay hauler in SoCal. That truck has been saved and restored. I tracked it down thru five owners....it's now in the Houston area. Someday I'm going to meet up again with it at some truck show. I'm not the expert, but White Moters bought out Sterling and Autocar around 1950. They kept Autocar and liquidated Sterling. White did similar things in the farming equipment area. There were plenty of Sterlings in the East....many were chain drive dump trucks. The ones in the West where usually road trucks.

    Mat 5:59 if you look at any of the train derailment videos were RJ Corman is out cleaning up you’ll see the modern mutation of this tractor with side boom used to lift and rerail rail cars.

    I wish you could get several of these machines and fix them all up. Imagine how awesome those videos would be watching all that old iron come back to life.

    Matt, I work at the Komatsu plant in peoria Illinois. It was originally the Avery tractor plant then RG letourneau. That is where all of the tournapull scrapers and other letouurneu equipment was manufactured. I work in plant one which was built in the early 1900s. Today we make the largest mining trucks In the world.

    In the summer of 1966, I was working for Irvin F. Jensen of Sioux City, IA, driving dry batch dump truck at various locations in Iowa. We would back into the "skip" of a mixer like the one shown at 30:53 five times for each load as there were 4 additional gated in the dump bed, although the mixer may have been larger than the one shown. This brings back many memories from summers while in college.

    There is a Jaques-Lorain face shovel at the Clermont mining museum in Queensland Australia. It worked at the nearby Blair Athol coal mine. The mine had a 100ft coal seam.
