[@abbaerfani9007]

Brings lots of memories this 80D north west. My father had one and it was first machine I learned to runs shovel and Draglin. Thanks for making this video

[@73DiamondReo]

There’s a few other videos of it also

[@d.sparkes346]

That’s impressive! That shovel operator is no joke!

[@73DiamondReo]

they're good and well known at all the shows

[@navelriver]

The 80D is such a smooth machine with a good operator!

[@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE]

You gotta love seeing that old iron get put to work! 🙂👍 Nice to see an operator that knows their way around that old of a machine. Thanks for recording Frank. Great video my friend. Take care 🔧

[@cranerigging3604]

Thank you for sharing the show and nice close up action on the Northwest working ! That would be a fun event to attend .

[@SkinnyBiker]

I remember seeing equipment like that growing up. Just seems like yesterday.

[@SirDeanosity]

My thoughts exactly. I feel like a kid again watching these kind of machines. I used to love to watch these at constructions sites.

[@dennismcclintock3154]

That is a true Operator on that Power Shovel no hydraulics on that bad boy just levers and cables and a very very skilled Operator I know as being an operator we have it way to easy that guy in there got beat to crap moving all the levers in a constant to go kudos to This Guy and THIS IS HOW AMERICA THE GREAT GIT BUILT

[@73DiamondReo]

I ran my shovel 2 hours the other day and was feeling it. Im sure an 8,10or12 hour day would really wear you out

[@flash80D]

Operator with northwest orange coat I Everett Deberry. He's 88 years young. The other is his brother, Gene Deberry, the

[@flash80D]

Gene ain't but 87 years young. I'm the other operator. I'm 60

[@flash80D]

I'm proud that I can't tell much difference between any of our skills in this video

[@lewiemcneely9143]

GOOD shooting and that was not the 1st time that 1st operator had sat in a shovel. I never ran a shovel because a pal told me to never get in one or I'd never be able to leave. Ponds and such were usually a 25, 22-B or a Unit with an occasional Bantam or Lima. Quarries were Mopdel-6's for both shovel fronts and drop balls and road jobs were 80-D's or maybe a 180-D or an occasional 95. Nice old R-22 but never saw anybody idle off with a Euc, even me! Thanks and keep after the truck and the other stuff at first was a wild selection. Good old Crane Carrier (CCC) trucks! GBWYall!

[@73DiamondReo]

these guys are all seasoned operators.

[@Ezrider359]

very cool 👍thanks for sharing.

[@73DiamondReo]

Thanks for watching!

Do you know if it’s a Murphy diesel in the Northwest. There’s a Big Northwest dragline at the Rock River show in Edgerton Wisconsin. I think about 75 feet of stick. I’m a Cat man but the Murphy in that dragline sure sounds good when it pulls hard.

[@73DiamondReo]

it is a Murphy

[@andreyvlasow5961]

I would like work in this museum, but I can't, I live in Russia.

[@rp1645]

Thought I was the only one with giant sand box.

[@oldamericaniron5767]

I thought of something else, you and other guys with channels need to put out more videos so I watch those in the evening instead of scouring the internet causing me to find more things to buy I don’t need!

[@73DiamondReo]

im try but im not sure its going to help you with your problem

[@HeavyIronAcres]

That old girl is pretty efficient at moving dirt! nice!

[@73DiamondReo]

sure is with the right guy at the controls. i need a little more practice on mine

[@Ray-lo4hr]

[@73DiamondReo]

[@christianmoore7046]

[@73DiamondReo]
