Hats off to these old guys with their yards full of junk and just kept everything for decades. I could spend all day in a place like that.

My grandfather worked at the Lima Locomotive Works until his death in 1948. When my father returned from service in WW2, he worked at the same plant until he retired. My father could have helped build that unit.

[@johnr1350]

My home town as well. The Clark Manufacturing Company out of MI was the parent company for the buckets cranes. Clark eventually merged with Bobcat out of Fargo ND, which is now part of Doosan. The same facility built the first Sherman tanks. The modern M1, M1A1, and M1A2 Abrams American battle tanks are currently built in a different facility, but also in Lima, OH by General Dynamics. The facility that built this crane also built almost every single steam locomotive in the country from about 1880 until the late 40’s / early 50’s, when diesel electrics took over the locomotive market.

[@billmckinnon2612]

My granddad worked at the Loco as well from the 20’s to til he retired in the late 60’s or early 70’s. Worked in the wheel shop when they were building locomotives.

[@william6526]

Having been a truck driver for over 50 years the sounds of those old trucks bring back many memories and i love to hear the sounds they make .The new trucks just dont have the sounds of the older trucks. The first truck i ever drove was a 61 white with a 4 speed with a 3 speed brownie. Rigid frame no power steering no a.c. no air ride seats. Hotter then hell in the summer and cold in the winter. It was a pit truck that had water brakes. For the younger folks water brakes were brakes that had a water tank on your truck and when you came down a steep grade with a load of rock you used the water that dripped on the brakes to keep them cool. You always had to fill the water tank before every load becsuse if you ran out of water on a steep grade your brakes wood heat up if they didnt have water to cool them and youd go for a wild ride with no brakes. You only did this once if you survived it and made sure you had enough water to make it down off the moutain where our pit was located. The good old days where only the tough survived. The lazy or stupid drivers were either killed off or quit.

[@peterbienvenu9033]

good show SAM + FRANK

As a former diesel tech at a Ford tractor trailer dealership, it's good to see the ol girl still being used. That Ford/Cat had zero issues pulling that load from what I could tell. Nice job Sam

That was an Awesome job pulling that Shovel, another great job done, Sam😎😎👍👍🍮🍮

[@klsc8510]

Scrappy, you, Diesel Creek, DP & Lets Dig 18, saving the old dirt moving equipment. Well done again. Since you pull low boy trailers. I am going to share with you a big safety tip. If you ever get hung up on a railroad crossing or come up on a scene where something is fouling the rails, there is a blue sign on every post with crossbucks and or signals. On it is a 1-800 number. Under it is some data. Call the number and give the dispatcher the data. That tells the dispatcher exactly what crossing you are at. The dispatcher can then close the crossing to all trains. When it is cleared up, call the 1-800 number to tell the dispatcher the tracks are clear. Two months ago I had to do just that when the van I was driving was rear ended hard and shoved onto Amtrak tracks. It works!! I am fine, but the van was totaled! Share this with your buddies that pull similar trailers!

[@carlcarlamos9055]

Thank you. Very good info. Take care.

[@1978garfield]

Very good info. I hate hearing stories of "We called 911 but they couldn't do anything". The only people that can help are at the other end of the phone number on that sign.

Excellent job fellas 👍 Beautiful Lima Shovel to restore.

[@terrystewart2070]

Sam, you are the king of cable shovel movers at this point. KUDOS!

[@larrytomb3896]

Just an FYI back in the day I personally use to move D9G for North Cambria Fuel company with full U blade and single shank ripper on a 5 axle. Truck was an Autocar with a K block set up with the help of Haliburton to have over 800 HP (keep in mind this was 1980) Boy do I miss those days!!

[@ScrappyIndustries]

That’s awesome! I guess Jack Clark at Clark Enterprises bought his old Autocar back with a K model in it. Currently restoring it from what I understand

[@jimcaro7819]

Yea jack had a k in it last I talked to him he was still working on it we have a 3408 in our old w900a always a bit of busting going on when we're out there lol

Sam got some new lessons on heavy haul with a beam trailer. Always put your big shimes 1st cause it's lot easier taking the big shimes out to put smaller shimes in. I made that mistake once

[@johnsweet8410]

Just a smidge of knowledge to pass your way.. Tightening the tracks with a good thick walled piece of pipe in the sprockets is the hands down best way. And dunnage is your friend, 6X8s and 12s. Also a hand truck for the 12s will save your back
