- this machine has been parked since we started it 7 years ago to play with it for a few minutes, I cant believe it fired right up once we got enough power to it!

Charlie needs to start uploading to YT again, hes a legend when it comes to the old gear.
Excavator archeologist.
What’s Charlie’s channel called?
Nothing like an old 2 cycle Detroit when it comes to noise 👍
Had a Fox field Chopper with 6V71 to run it all day you needed earplugs plus ear muffs
Brian Wymer’s Handy Man Service I used to operate a Terex 72-31 Loading Shovel in Northern Ireland for the Army.
The locals weren’t too enamoured with the sound of the screaming 2 Stroke at 3 in the morning when removing burning vehicles from their neighbourhood 😁
Good times...
I just love them old Detroits! It is absolutely music 🎵🎶! Best sounding engine ever! I also love the old Bantams!
Old Bantam with a Detroit. That is the definition of Old Iron!
Thank you Chris. Old iron fire up nice. Time to put it to work.
Amazing after seven years starting up wow i love it Chris the old Bantam 👌👍
Amazing how easily that started. Thanks for the video.
That’s impressive! They don’t build them like anymore! I love how it hasn’t ran in 7 years and it hasn’t even warmed up and Charlie is just reviving the hell out of it 😂! Thanks for sharing looking forward to the other videos!
You aint having a good time till your red lined!
Central Iowa Farmer that make sense lol
Elite Earthworks LLC aka yamaha
david bailey lol i gotcha
It will not last long the way you treat that engine.
I was gonna say that sounds like a good old 2 stroke Detroit Diesel, but many others commented before me. They have a very unique sound.
Worked on a lot when serving my apprenticeship. Too noisy in todays PC world but a brilliant piece of engineering in all of their forms.
Nice seeing that old 453 run!!!
Love that two stroke diesel sound
I still have the original video still in my favorite videos list. Thanks for the video.
I do love the sound of that detroit 2cycle diesel. Operated a Rex trashmaster compactor with a 8V71 in it for years loved it.
Nice sound from that old Detroit
Good to see the old stuff still working. looks to be about an 8 tonner in new terms.
Bring it out the shed sometime and see how well it digs, with that many revs it should work quite fast, not sure about the pull out power though.
Bout 20 ton machine
Truly amazing that it fired up like it had been only sitting a day! Looks like Charlie got himself a new truck along the way.
When I was 18 I was an oiler on a bantam cable type back hoewith a Detroit diesel in it.my job was to keep it greased change cables with a punch and hammer layout the right away and measure footage I learned how to operate it an awesome machine. It wasn,t scared of water either we would start in the swamp and head for the hill nice video
Brings back memories of a huge warner-swasey i ran in the 70's .Had a 6v71 detroit , couldnt walk it without enganging the drive , which disengaged the swing .600 oil leaks and 71 hp with a 60" 5 yd bucket . A day in that beast you felt like you were running a mexican dragline after !

One more good rev !! Haha the best thing I've heard all day
I love Charlie. Love the videos too. Keep em coming!
It’s nice seeing Charlie again!! Wish he could do more videos
OMG Chris!
_This make me wonder where time went!?_
Wow, I remember this old machine & the video from 7 years ago!
_They sure don't build them like they use too!_
Chris those old detroits are pretty awesome and can take a lot of hard Knocks. good video.
Runs like a champ,ty for the entertainment
Good to see Charlie again. His Sand Pit still has plenty of tons to be hauled out too.
Love to see it working
Looks like Charlie got himself a shiny new truck!
That's the best, fasted cold start I've seen on here in a long time
Good to see Charlie in your video......you two make for an entertainment duo for sure
Hey I just wanted to say your channel is awesome keep up the good work
Does the Bantam have pedal controls for the bucket and the stick? 25 years ago that's what I learned on nice to see that something like that still around
I’d love to work for Charlie. So much knowledge.
First video of yours I ever watched was the first time yall started it lol 👍
That motor sounds healthy!!
that is just too cool.
Great to see charlie again
Good stuff
I believe the original video for this bantam was my first vid of yours i watched.
Gotta love a screaming ol Detroit.
i remember the last video you did of this .... been watching awhile !
That’s the first video I watched on this channel 7 years ago
Me as well
Same thing here
yup same here
Y'all should restore that thing to it's former glory , that would be AWSOME !!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Love that thar Detroit sound
Nice!!!
Hot damn, it's Charlie!!!!! Can't forget that voice!
Ain’t nothin better than an old Detroit!
The only thing better then a Detroit...is everything.
TheSoloAsylum ha, I’m talking an old Detroit. I’ve had a few in my boats over the years and they are as loud as can be, but if they break down, I can have them completely overhauled and running in a day. Love the old Detroit’s.
I’ve had Yanmar’s, Perkins, and Cummins and they are all decent, but the old Detroit’s, the 70s and 80s are so damn reliable.
The interstate highway system was still under construction when I was a young one in the 1960's. One of those routes was very near where I lived. The sound of the Detroit Diesel powered heavy equipment working on the job site will forever be burned into my memory.
Can't wait to see it in another 7-10 years. Don't look like its going anywhere till then. :)
Now this one I believe. That video from 2011 saying it had been 10 years since it started I didn't believe. This one for sure. It cranked hard and had to build fuel pressure and it smoked. Still a cool video. Thanks for sharing.
Old welding leads make the best jumper leads.. new welding leads are even nicer.
Great running old machine ! What’s the engine manufacturer
Wow it's been 7 years?.... Pretty sure in the last video of this there was nothing in that shad just that excavator lol
Cold engine and max power?
Screamin' Jimmy!
I miss Charlie. Good to see him again.
Damn that thing screams
Sound like an old detroit diesel in that ol' bantam
I do remember the last start up of that machine
Looks just like John Force on the thumbnail!!
thats just awesome lol
That’s a neat old excavator no creature features there lol 😂
now that's old
Where do you put the DEF fluid?
I would love to see it restored and used.
I hope chucke2009 doesn't see this...he'll try to buy it!
fuck that clueless woman eared bastard
he is nowhere near bright enough to deal with a Detroit or an excavator.
@@thatalbertalogger8092 Detroit = oil slinging pieces of shit. I fish commercially for a living. Run 2x 3508b 8 cylinder kitties on the boat. A lot of the older fiberglass and wood trawlers still have their original Detroit in them, and a 55g barrel of oil beside them lol. Junk
What happened to his buddy that use to do all the work for him
@@4drzr113 meh, I've got Detroit's and cats in trucks. I like em both, just gotta keep up maintenance on them old jimmies. cats and Detroits built the world. not everyones cup of tea tho.
'I'm coordinating these shenanigans!' lol
That ole Detroit will still be firein up when your volvas are in the junk pile bud lol!!
Nice 🇺🇲 great video Chris 🇺🇲
i would play with toys but fortnites my thing now 😀Starting The Old Bantam Excavator After 7 Years!😀
Someone would love to have that machine. If you have nothing, that is a jewel. Stationary use would be great. Glad it runs. LMAO. Unless you are attached to this machine, sell it. Look how much storage space you gain.
It is disheartening to hear someone stole the battery and cut the cables to get it. I know the lowlife is everywhere. The thing that helps me is CCT and I have never lost a thing. ........ Not an option in the field. Gun fire is good. LOL.
Do you know of what year it was made in ?
I seem to remember last time trying to dig in hard dry caliche clay, and it could scratch around a little.
Gotta love a diesel!!
Is the bantom one of Charlie's excavators or just someone you guys know?
That thing would survive the apocalypse.
And if it runs away “we’ll just leave”. 90% of people have no idea how funny that is
Is it a uk import with the right hand drive?
Bantam is an old excavator manufacturer, from the 1980's. One of the original manufaturers of excavators.
Bout the first was warner swazey/ Hopto. Hopto stood for hydraulic operated power take off.
Was used for carrying the mail
What are you going to do with this machine? I'm assuming it has resale value.
Was that running on the original 7 year old diesel fuel?
I have essentially the exact same machine, we are trying to get it ready to put on a trailer to bring it up to my property and for some reason the swing won’t function. Do you have any information on that?
Hard to beat the sound of a Detroit. Would love to have a pick up truck with a Detroit in it.
I get a kick out of the waste of trailers the one with the green sides is full of old appliances and other stuff, a landscape trailer with a boat and some nice doors stored on it and a old golf cart with its own trailer.
Most machines with a good maintenance track will run 30yrs later like it was just in service the day before
was that fan missing a blade?
Geezus was that engine talking about his momma?
Yes ....screamin Jimmy awesomeness
Do you still have that old bantam . I learned on one just like it.and would it be forsale
Wonder if the old companies went under cuz the stuff never broke. No parts or service to sell and no one ever needed another after the first one.
You cant beat kyb/ or hitachi or Kawasaki pumps. Very well made !
Take Kawasaki loader for instance. The largest and oldest wheel loader company in the world. Before cat or deere or Michigan or any of them.
Nah. This stuff was underpowered junk with lousy controls at the best of times.
djkommando there’s a bunch of studies done about this very things. I believe in the 1800’s there was issues like this for diamonds. Which caused them (largest mine holding company) to shoot the price of diamonds through the roof so companies who who had very little sales each year could stay open. It became a game of product-quality with very high price and little sales vs less-quality less price with more sales.
I own a service business and this is an everlasting issue with us. However, we lowered our prices while giving the same quality to encourage customers to come back. It’s worked outstanding except for only having 8 total days off since December 3rd....while getting paid for 30 hours a week instead of 80... tough balancing game for new businesses. Customers think your greedy is you have to raise prices so you can live. Always more to it than what meets the eye.
still with the old fuel in it ?
That engine sounds awesome, too bad the rest of the machine is wasting away.
Al good old Detroit! What year is the Cat at the end if the video?
they were made starting in 1974.
Badass Detroit
Need to fix the swing and buy that damn thing!
That needs to go home with YOU for the farm and a re paint
The bucket teeth...LOL
👍👍👍
That wus alsome. What year was that machine
Like the man said, you can't beat a Detroit.
What did you do with the machine finally?
It’s aliiiiiiiiive, alivvvvvvvvve oh yeahhhhhh
