First time commenting, seen several videos. I have put in many shifts on this old model, and the one before it .. But, when the new 992C model rolled onto the job, it sure did change production and operator comfort. .. We had a 400 Hough on the job we used for a spare ,which I did like it. The reversed steering was a challenge to get used to. The rear of the loader articulated from L to R instead of the front. Thanks PAmining, like your documentaries. God Bless to all.

Wow! What a difference in the way you talked in the videos from this time frame vs now. LOL Love them all just the same, but now, you are much more relaxed and authoritative sounding.

Awesome look at the evolution of that loader with the walk around you did with the B and C models

[@gm16v149]

Interesting walk around. Guess I'm showing my age but I operated a brand new 992B in 1977. From what you're saying it must have been one of the last ones. I used to like having the back door open and hearing the sound of the engine and 2 turbos. Pretty sure they had 2 electric starter motors as well though I could be wrong on that. We had a 992A as well, like you said I'd didn't have the ROPs cab, and the one we had used to shimmy in the steering and was awful to operate. The B was a lot better being brand new. We loaded 75 ton Wabcos with nickel ore in Western Australia.

[@arborist460]

Personally I'd like to see that whole spread...and shake the hand of the mechanics that keep the old iron diggin...were losin all of it in our area...man we need coal jobs to come back here bad....people killin,stealin, overdosing, cause there's no life to be had....and ain't even got a decent enough vehicle to leave and work somewhere else....I guess west Virginia is the only place where coals pickin up cause here in eastern ky it just keeps getting worse...
