Caterpillar 789B Documentary

[@raypetets2028]

I can tell you really enjoy making these great videos. Your enthusiasm shows through. Thank you for all your on these.

[@PAmining]

Oh their exceptionally fun to make! I love going through and over a machine and pointing things out because as a kid, it's what I always dreamed to be able to see. Thanks!

[@carditolarrosa6546]

I used to operate and maintain this truck in Ok Tedi Mining Ltd. in Papua New Guinea during year 1987- 2004.Very tough haul truck.👍👍👍

PAmining hi, im from ireland, I love your videos, especially the bucyrus dragline videos, so knowledgable, intersting and detailed videos, did u ever think about making a video about a ruston bucyrus factory or plant, or the bucyrus eire plant, id realy love to see somthing like that, thank u👍

[@kresimirmilisa5560]

i love when justin does videos on haul trucks they are always excellent and breathtaking thanks justin from croatia europe.

[@PAmining]

Well thank you from the great state of Pennsylvania! :)

[@skadill]

There will always be a bit of 8 year old boy in us all.I would certainly would like to try all the machines for a day each,even after decades on and around the regular sized construction and logging ones.And like everyone else,I'd do it just for the experience and fun of it.

[@mikewhipkey6863]

skadill That's true unless you are a priest then it's your inside an 8 year old boy... I'm Sorry that just popped into my head and I felt compelled to type it..

[@BillRayDrums]

I believe you can do that just outside of Vegas at a heavy equipment theme park. (all the professional operators laugh in unison at the shitshow that could happen there)

[@RobClarkeRacing]

I always look forward to your videos, keep up the good work thanks from the UK​

[@PAmining]

Thanks, and greetings from Pennsylvania!

[@ConstructionMachinesChannel]

Another super video/documentary. Very informative 👍

[@PAmining]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@brennansexcavations]

Another fantastic video keep them coming

[@robertjackson8728]

Hi, just wondering if you could explain the suspension system on these trucks? (A different Robert Jackson.)

[@craigsibley8161]

Another great video 👍👍👍 CAT 789 the daddy of them all, here in the UK anyway...

[@chrisrowland2255]

Can you get a ride along video from the trainer's seat please?

[@PAmining]

I did that years ago in a 785B. It was pretty cool yet boring haha. Thanks

[@chrisrowland2255]

I've not seen a boring video from you yet.

[@arinelsonthiago5842]

Great vídeo Pamining

[@robertjackson98]

WONDERFUL VIDEO

[@PAmining]

Thank you!

[@DENMONKEY]

Is the railing missing from beside the drivers door? Seems like a silly place to not have a railing.

[@davidpoggioli8014]

Who can tell me how to test the secondary/emergency steering?

[@The_blindpizzaguy1300]

I’d like to see one about the797F. Certainly is a monstrous dump truck though. Speaking of large whole trucks Vruder is coming out with its first ever heavy haul truck in a couple of weeks it’s the Volvo A60H. Scale is 1/16, and I’m going to be doing a review of it would you like me to let you know when the video is up?

[@paulr5067]

Absolutely love your videos! Miss seeing regular updates but I know you are busy. What was loading this fleet?

[@PAmining]

Thank you! Yes, the older one gets the busier one gets, but that's life right! These trucks were being loaded by an RH200

[@eaglewi]

What do they do with the tires when they get used up

[@PAmining]

They are repossessed by a tire company and replaced with new ones

[@thespiderkelly9589]

@2:49, Is that water dripping or a fast diesel leak?

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Water.

[@thespiderkelly9589]

Right, would have been alot of diesel to be leaking.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

If it was diesel the whole place would be crawling with MSHA inspectors and Environmentals in short order. You get a leak fixed or get the machine GONE! BIG fine time.And those beds will drip forever till you dump the water out of them at the start of the shift.

[@thespiderkelly9589]

I didnt realise that this industry was heavily regulated for the like of spills and leaks.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Didn't used to be as much but with MSHA (Mine Safety & Health Association) overseeing things which inspects all mines, above and below ground, it can get really interesting very quickly depending a lot on moods and rule book interpretations. It's just better not to have any violations. They used to hunt for stuff but not so much anymore, but you better be right with the book. And they'll usually give you time to correct the problems and give another inspection. And they do look after the miners welfare and equipment being up to snuff. I've been around several and they're just doing their job and nice guys, really, but it's their job and big brother will come down on them if something they've supposedly checked goes haywire. Watch some of 'U.S. Chemical Safety Board' videos. That'll give you some insight on how things can go.

[@dunkly85]

Just so you know, when you were talking about the transmission you were looking at the torque converter, the transmission is down the other end of the truck bolted to the front of the diff :-)

[@PAmining]

Thank you!

[@dunkly85]

@@PAmining keep up the vids 👍👍 doing a great job

[@Turbocharge1000]

Any Old Clark Michigan 675s still kickin around??

[@PAmining]

The last 675 was parked in Michigan and I did make an attempt to go film it. Unfortunately that machine was cut up a few months before I got there.

[@pnbproductions6008]

Wait, so it's like a dual clutch transmission? A sequential manual?

[@Tedinoz]

So glad to hear from you. And what a beast! There’s just nothing intimate or delicate about this vehicle, is there?

[@coalminer1553]

Another great video. I operate a C model in these trucks down in Southern West Virginia

[@PAmining]

Cool, and thank you!

[@coalminer1553]

Does the company you work for have any C models?

[@8068]

Great video as always. Was it my imagination or was there a bad fuel leak under the 789 you crawled under?

[@PAmining]

No, that was water dripping from the dump box. Thanks

[@CAT972]

Great video as always. I know I've seen somewhere you said you were going to do a CAT 994 doc. I did not see one on your page. Just wondering thank you

[@PAmining]

Thank you, and yes, a 994 doc will be coming up in the future

[@genemiller6837]

cool vid always informative what size are those tires are they right at six feet or 8 i know some are 12 feet in height in the 400 ton range

[@matthewschofield9330]

Hi gene , the tyres on a caterpillar 789B rigid dump truck have a diameter of about 10 feet ☺️.

[@scpd613]

Great video. what size loader to load that box?

[@arborist460]

992s can but 994s and bigger if production is what your lookin for

[@jessenoble1399]

These are no fun to load with 92g it takes to many passes, 93 k is ok but 94 is what's best

[@lewiemcneely9143]

THANKS, Pal and it looks like a Cat truck is a Cat truck is a Cat truck. Very little difference between the 771 and 73 I was around except size. Operation is very similar as well as control placement. I bet the 18-V is a bull. The 771 had a 510 horse V-8 and the 73 was a 12-V pulling 830. I really like the way Cat trucks are set up and work. And they're easy to get the hang of, not complicated at all. Not like an R-35 or 22. Thanks again!

[@jserra17]

Justin, how am I supposed to live vicariously through your videos if they don’t let you drive the equipment?

[@PAmining]

Haha, that's what vantages is for lol!

[@jamesspafford5985]

Always love your vids!!! Do you ever get to drive any of these "Kitties" or do they keep you on the older Terex haul trucks?? Welcome back, by the way!!!

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Heaven Help him if he's in one of those except maybe an old ark R-35!

[@PAmining]

I haven't driven or operate d for years now. I did that as a summer job when I was in college. Now I get to design to the mines where I work 😎. Thanks!

[@bcdrummer1962]

Your videos are great my friend. I always look forward to new docmentaries as well as all the operating vids. My family comes form Shamokin and my grandfather, Sam Moyer, was an engineer on the Glen Burn mine - he built the culm bank there, operating the railroad-track driven dumpster that hauled the culm up the mountain and dumped it.....any chance of some history regarding that (now defunct, I think?) mine? Thanks again and keep the great content coming.

[@PAmining]

Thank you! And that is very interesting! I have a facination with the old underground mines in this region. So much history. Thanks!

[@bcdrummer1962]

I happen to be online right now....the Glen Burn was very interesting. I took a mine tour back in the early 90's (I think it was) and - this is weird - in the museum outside the mine entrance, in addition to all the old mining equipment on display was - swear this is true - a human head in fornaldehyde in a big glass jar. There was no info about it but man it was freaky. I saw this with my own eyes. Now THAT would be some old history worth looking into. I just had to share the story. Anyone else out there who could corroborate this? Anyway, cheers PA mining and keep on rockin' the vids.

[@PAmining]

Theres a couple underground mine tours around here. Personally I'd love to make videos again showing the underground mines, shafts and old stuff like that however, it just breaths trouble. I know way to many people who've gotten in big trouble for posting videos and pictures from abandoned underground mines.

[@9carcottrell246]

I run a d 11 and 797. Ur right on dah money sir

[@PAmining]

Well thank you!

[@jimgemmell2831]

So now you run a dozer and a Cat 797 mining truck and not a 9 car stinger transporter or drive trains as you claim in several train videos? Oh, and not forgetting on C5 Galaxy plane vids you're ex USAF and also seem to be ex USMC. On Concorde videos he claims to be....yep, you guessed it, an ex Concorde pilot/captain. Only thing he drives is his vivid imagination. 😀😀😀

[@jonym45]

Nice video. How many hours?

[@PAmining]

I have no idea. I never look at hours. Thanks

[@rickysdiecastmodels3067]

Good vid👍

[@a20dmd]

Great doc. as usual. The brackets linking the lifting cylinders to the dump box seem quite puny for the job they have to do!

Another great video! Thanks from Braazil!

[@PAmining]

Thank you from Pennsylvania!

[@arborist460]

Most all the ones I was around had vertical access ladders....that's how I originally distinguished them from 793s.....starfire mine had a bunch of both...

[@jamesyork2938]

In hazard kentucky?

[@lowercherty]

That stairway across the radiator was a Cat development. I think the first was on the 789. Others are copying it now. The rope hinging down by the left front tire is to haul a lunch pail up. Some mines deem it not safe to climb stairs with a lunch pail in your hand. Lot of drivers now use a pretty good size cooler instead of the old style steel lunch boxes.

[@arborist460]

Yes sir....steam cleaned every piece they had in the early 2000s

[@jamesyork2938]

I grew up in that mine,lost mountain and falcon coal mine My dad was a mechanic for whaynes supply in hazard. Now I'm working in the coal mines of wyoming

[@arborist460]

Sad how all that work was here one day and gone the next....we did Addington 17 west too...I wish I'd have took more pics of the dragline and shovels...lectra huals, and this job behind the house (branham&baker) supposedly had some wisedas...
