    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.

    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.

    My old man worked at a Western Canada coal mine that ran the Terex 33-19 "Titan" haul truck. 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!

    I’ve been rethinking my whole life before I die and I know what I would have done different. I would have bought a dozer just after a pickup truck. And had one the rest of my life. As I paid a peace of equipment off. I’d buy another and gather all the toys I could have. For my retirement I’d set em in a huge sand box 80 acres of pits, pond digs, dirt piles, and charge people by the hour to play on them. Run a amusement park in the woods for people who wanted to play and have fun. Don’t have to move em just need a big shop to fix my toys and watch people play on them with camaras or drones. I’ve seen this done with trucking schools I’d have equipment schools. That would be my ultimate success, let everyone feel as I did

    Enjoyed seeing some old equipment from the early years in my career. Mind you, I am not that old, it is just that many contractors in the 60's and 70's still used many of these machines. It was especially nice to see a proficient operator of the cable shovel. The old operators were as smooth as operators of hydraulic machines today. Thanks.

  • @paulne1514

    Watching the cable cranes brings back good and bad memories. They were fun to operate, but with open cabs. The bad memories are when I had to evaluate new hires, who said they knew how to run a crane. They’d run the cables off the drum, (forgetting to push the brake in, when the bucket opened, smash the bucket when they dropped it too fast, swing to fast and hit stuff. I’d spend all day fixing what they screwed up!

    I worked in the taconite mines in Northeastern Minnesota for a summer while I was going to college. One day I worked in the shop as a laborer. It was impressive to see the 270 ton production trucks hanging from a crane while they worked on the electric motors that powered the wheels. When you can't prop your elbow up on the wheel to lean against it you know you're next to a big machine.

    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!

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.

    So cool seeing this rudimentary construction equipment. You can’t get where you are going until you’ve seen where you have been.

    Morning Matt!! Very cool video, I really like vintage equipment...I grew up in Michigan, I won't say the town, but it was at the time the gravel capital of the world, I remember those Euclid's & Terexes, at full throttle you could hear those singing Detroit s at our house, we lived about four miles by the way the crow flies from American Agg. It will be nice when you get the glass back in Christine....Be safe!!!! God Bless!!!

    Just AWESOME! I could watch a video like this for hours. The various pieces of "old" equipment give you an idea of what it took, physically and mentally, to be an Operator of Heavy Equipment back in the day. Thanks Matt!

    Fantastic show today. You did a good. The little puppy bulldozers are a hoot. Small tracked vehicles always crack me up for some reason.

      The problem would be having a front end loader that can reach over the sides of the dump bucket, that thing is high !

    Super interesting! You need cover that show regularly. The machines that pioneered the machines that built this country. Special use, one of a kind machines that fathered today's line! They need preserved.

  • @gmcjimmy3580
    @gmcjimmy3580 ปีที่แล้ว

    It is excellent to see and watch the equipment that build this country runing and doing their thing, those were truly awesome operators back then because it took a lot of talent to run that old stuff.

    you guys are lucky to get to play with the toys. the thing i miss most from the army is operating all the gear right to its limit. thanks again for the content.
    and you should put polycarbonate windows in kristine. its stronger, flexible and you can cut it with an angle grinder or saw.
