I worked at P&H mining equipment 1995-2001 as engineering contractor and worked on the 4100XPB model. I worked on the dipper shrouds, teeth, door, and the back of the dipper where it connects to the arm. Those steel plates range from .75 up to 3" thick. The welding symbols are really complex with specialized chamfers and back gauging burn welding. I slso worked on blast hole drills and 9100 dragline. This equipment went to Australia. I am now retired and totally brings back memories watching the machine work. 👍

I hope you get to see one in person. They’re amazingly impressive. I drive a Komatsu 830e truck and work under them regularly. Occasionally, when loading out blocky material, we have to park the truck in position to be loaded, then exit and walk to a waiting light vehicle. You don’t realise how big the shovel is until you’re standing on the ground, meters away from its tracks.

I used to be a contractor that did work at the West Milwaukee manufacturing facility for P&H. That place is almost all shut down now and they said it will probably never open for new manufacturing again as P&H/Joy/Komatsu have moved manufacturing overseas after they said they wouldn't and all the while built new facilities overseas but swore they would not replace the jobs in Milwaukee. Just more American manufacturing jobs disappearing. P&H and Bucyrus on the south side both built shovels this size. Caterpillar bought Bucyrus and I think they still do heavy manufacturing at their plant in South Milwaukee.
