Thanks for sharing these old machines!!!!

[@73DiamondReo]

glad you enjoy them as much as i do

[@jac5344]

What a great find! Good luck on your endeavor, and keep posting your progress.

[@73DiamondReo]

thanks reached out to you on instagram a while back about converting to a shovel

[@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE]

Nice find! 🙂👍 crazy how easily the one turned over. They were built to last back then.

[@73DiamondReo]

i threw 24 volts at it. lol

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Never fooled with a 10. Mine were 22's and a 30. But you've proved that anything is possible if you live long enough! GBWYall!

[@keepontruckinoutlawlife1248]

Really digging this channel you sure know your stuff man👍

[@73DiamondReo]

thanks im still learning everyday. hope to move these machines in the spring

[@michaelguinn5736]

Pretty cool vintage machines with a added bonus, A Autocar!! Hopefully these can be saved!!

[@73DiamondReo]

they will be

[@michaelguinn5736]

@@73DiamondReo that's great to hear, I realize you can't save them all, but you can at least try!!

[@73DiamondReo]

@@michaelguinn5736 I think these ones are still good enough to save even with the engine issues. have to finish the lima and insley first then i will move onto these. in the mean time there will be lawn art until i get around to it

[@michaelguinn5736]

@@73DiamondReo cool, I used to be into vintage trucks, I had a late 40's I.H. KB-8 & a WC2264 White tandem dump, I had to let the go due to back surgeries...keep up the great collection & work!!

[@73DiamondReo]

@@michaelguinn5736 will do

[@gleanerk]

Like you said on budda engine #2 oil in the spark plugs holes might do the trick . Like I’ve said in past , some grease, oil , n whole lot of patience,they’ll be operational. Old iron has life in them after years of retirement. Just a thought

[@73DiamondReo]

yeah ill see what i can do with it once i get it home. if the engine is shot it will get repower

[@oldamericaniron5767]

Good to see some video from you. Are you buying them? Do you have info on serial numbers and years, I don’t know what year mine is? Mine has glass like the older one. As far as script on counterweight, my old neighbor’s 22-B had the later style script and he bought it new in 47. I think that is the worst corroded away manifold I have ever seen. Looking forward to seeing more.

[@73DiamondReo]

yes they are now part of my collection. old one is a 42 and i dont have the serial number for the newer one.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

@@73DiamondReo YAAY!!

[@Jeddco66]

just need a little tender loving care and lots of oil everywhere

[@hurricanedaniel]

Nice machines you have saved. The tin ware looks to be in good shape. How long have they been sitting? The pick on the later machine looks interesting. I have not seen anything like that before, so i think thats a very cool addition.

[@73DiamondReo]

looks like it been a long time. they were moved to this location years ago and im not sure how long they were sitting before that. Id like to put a shovel on the newer one with the pick

[@hurricanedaniel]

@@73DiamondReo yes, the rust has had time to set in there, also i can't beleave how rusted away that exhaust manifold is! There nothing left of it. Looks like someone have removed the drive chains, so not running before being moved there u would assume.

[@73DiamondReo]

@@hurricanedaniel yes both were pulled onto a trailer when moved here. The drive chains are there just cut off

[@hurricanedaniel]

@@73DiamondReo handy still having the drive chains, finding chains for my 24rb is proving problematic to find

[@bigunone]

You maybe able to weld up your own intake if you just want to get it to run

[@73DiamondReo]

yes ive done that before but cast iron is the way to go for something like that.

[@ericdee6802]

I thought those shovels had 3-53 Detroit's in them?

[@73DiamondReo]

never seen a 3-53 in one. mostly gas engines and one UD International diesel

[@ericdee6802]

@@73DiamondReo I was watching D.Boss Garage here on KZbin, and they found and old shovel like those you have and it had a Detroit in it, maybe it was a different make it something it a retrofit???.

[@73DiamondReo]

@@ericdee6802 3-71 powered Northwest i believe. 2-71 3-71 and 4-71 were common engines in old equipment

[@saul5009]

Will look out for these video( s) 🥳 I have 4 oll Dragline’s All runners

[@73DiamondReo]

im sure you've seen my shovel and dragline also then

[@seankeys99]

Any chance you’d consider selling or trading one? I’m also in PA and I’d really like to get a smaller one like these to haul to shows.

[@73DiamondReo]

not at this time.

[@merc-ni7hy]

i'm in northeastern pa...were is this?

[@73DiamondReo]

They will be at my home soon. cant disclose the location they currently sit at

[@ferdinandocappelletti6740]

beautiful machines, olso are old and rusty

[@huckstirred7112]

How do you find these

[@73DiamondReo]

I have feelers out everywhere. the stuff finds me

[@vw4x4]

Do those machines a BIG favor: dump used motor oil on every moving joint. You can get it free, and can a ford to pour it everywhere. All those rusty parts will thank you.

[@73DiamondReo]

yes needs a good soaking and power wash. i use atf and acetone to free stuff up
