1951 Bucyrus Erie 10B Startup and Propelling

[@ray8304]

I’m jealous lol 😂 that’s the sweetest little machine and they are not very common in that condition and series. Really cool 😎 👍and manageable to play with.

[@stephen8289]

Excellent beast,saw how my dad became successful in the 80's with just one of these machines in the Caribbean. These beast can dig.

[@jac5344]

For sure, a good operator can move some serious dirt.

[@GraemeJohnDavison]

Fantastic films.. Have been lucky enough to operate a 22rb with dragline and wrecking ball. you are so lucky to own some of these fantastic machines and keep them operational. Am jealous!

[@jac5344]

+Graeme Davison Thanks! Have only operated with the clamshell buckets, don't really even have a place to use the drag bucket on the 22B. Wrecking ball sounds like a good time!

[@GraemeJohnDavison]

Oh it was !

[@ConstructionMachinesChannel]

That engine sounds fantastic 👍

[@bert26a]

The motor sure has a nice sound to it and a great looking machine every time I come upon an old piece of equipment like that it's had a rough life or rusted to the point of having no paint.

[@koehringcrane1559]

Nice sounding engine. Great video!

[@jac5344]

Thank you very much!

[@highwatercircutrider]

I used a similar sized 'Hanson 35' dragline in my seawall business 41 years ago. I built a drop hammer and leads attachment for it to drive steel piling....It was the only size machine that would fit between the closely spaced cottages and homes along the Lake Huron shoreline (about 8'wide).Gary in Michigan

[@jac5344]

That Hanson would be a rare machine if it was around today. I googled it and it is hard to even find info on them.

[@chrisparlow6282]

Sir you did a hell of a jobon it man does it look great ! Looks like it just came right out of the factory. . Very cool. I wished l could own one but again nice job.

[@jac5344]

Thanks a lot, 8 years later and it looks a little rough now, but it'll get another once over before lond.

[@brucebonkowski9568]

You might want to use Seafoam or Lucas Fuel System cleaner it works great with my lawn maintenance equipment as it keeps it running well I do put in some Liquid heat for water also try this out on your roofs paint them with mobile home roof paint I use the white it reflects a lot of sun and heat and might want to get a roof panel for a drop ceiling to keep your head cool and a truck fan

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Click, click, click, click- music to my deaf ears! Another good one! Thanks!

[@jac5344]

The engine will get it next year for sure. Tried the High Speed on the 22B, then couldn't get it dis-engaged. 10B will have to wait for some work on the crawler slack adjusters.

[@jac5344]

It looked pretty bad when I bought it, but thankfully, underneath it was pretty solid. I guess the trick is to take it 1 problem at a time. There usually aren't too many isssues that can't be resolved, unless the machine has rusted away so much that it is just too far gone.

[@UnitCrane514]

Nice machine! That engine needs some cleaning and paint. Havent tried the High Speed Propel yet eh? Cant wait to see more!

[@lench1987]

Awsome i love it

[@jasonnewell2523]

That's great what a nice lil crane I have two INSLEY Ks

[@hiramjonesjr1887]

A little drip drip old girl earned the right to leak

[@bert26a]

Will you have any new videos of your dragline and crane collection?

[@jac5344]

+bert26a Last year was a busy year for me. I hope to use my new camera and post some video this year. Currently I am trying to consummate the sale of 2 of my machines, so I my not have as much subject matter available in the future. Thanks for watching!

[@brucebonkowski9568]

Oh jac that bottom window would it be better if no window a piece of aluminum deck plate

[@jac5344]

Bruce, I did get a window made for the machine. I believe I explain the saga of such in another video.

[@mts5721]

I think your 10b has an older brother. my 10b came from the tower area also. It has a Mercury flathead v8 for power.I could use some advise/ guidance on it's restoration & operation

[@jac5344]

Michael, feel free to drop me a line via email (address in the "About" section of my channel).

Amazing old girl

[@jac5344]

Thanks!

[@simonrichard9873]

Was that in high gear? If no, that's plenty fast enough for me.

[@jac5344]

That was only low gear and I agree, that's fast enough for a 65 year old machine.

[@simonrichard9873]

What happened to your other 10-B ?

[@jac5344]

Tried to sell both this summer, deal fell thru, but I'm glad it did. Started to refurbish the shovel front for this machine, so my goal of having an operating shovel is finally going to happen. I plan to shoot a short video of this machine digging as soon as the weather gives me a break. The '37 10B is still looking for a new home though.

[@onceANexile]

Grease them tracks. Nice paint.

[@timsteward4790]

Never lube moving joints that are subject to dirt and dust ! It attracts the stuff then mixes in and then ? Well you figure it out
