Wabco scraper boneyard and bucyrus erie excavator

Wabco scraper boneyard and bucyrus erie excavator I have been here for 10 years and never realized that this was right behind me this whole time I am very sorry for the video quality. something is going on with my camera! Appreciate the support

[@joshtaylor4249]

Love the old equipment. As long as no water got into the cylinders guarantee all those Detroits will fire up. After checking the racks of course.

[@heavyequipmentandmore9994]

Yes agreed just need to be careful about the runaways

[@skadill]

Cool Finds, good work!

[@heavyequipmentandmore9994]

Thank you!

[@christopherhampson265]

Excellent . I really appreciate seeing the old resting/rusting giants from past days . If they could only sing again 👍👍👍

[@heavyequipmentandmore9994]

Thank you for your support

The Wabco 333 elevating scraper: as described by Richard Campbell Powered by a 500 horsepower turbocharged GM Detroit Diesel 12V-71T engine in the tractor unit and a turbocharged 465 horsepower GM Detroit Diesel 12V-71T in the scraper, the 333FT was not underpowered by any stretch of the imagination.

I’d love to see a revive & drive on that big ol excavator

[@segomatu7063]

Yes I agree, pretty sad to see these ol' beasts rusting in the middle of brambles, after so many yrs of "good and loyal services" ! I found not far from my home, a graveyard for Richard Continental Dozers (French brand from the 60'), dozens of them of all kinds. Some of them had even a tree growing between the blade and the cab ! Good video budy ! Rocks from France !!

[@heavyequipmentandmore9994]

I appreciate the support thanks

[@maplemanz]

The 400H is a rare find.

[@heavyequipmentandmore9994]

Yes I learned that now I think the 400h there was only 2 of them made and then they went to the 40h

[@maplemanz]

They also made the 500H .

[@mgreene9177]

Definitely liked the video. Really should go back and do another video when the sun isn't setting.

[@christophermendoza1140]

Bucyrus Erie was making hydraulic excavators back about 1968 to about 1982 there was 20h ,30h 40h the 400h came out about 1979 it was the new style had pilot controls but still air over hydraulics it was the replacement of the 40h you could get Cummins or Detroit the 40h and 400h were about cat 245 size I grew up around those machines my father ran 40h with a Cummins in it same machine for long time doing deep sewer work very popular with sewer contractors here in Massachusetts,New Jersey,New York areas. The 40h with the Cummins was the cats ass ! MORE BALLS than that screaming Detroit . That 400h is early new model it has the flat track pads you could get the triple grousers or cat bottom as we called it. Just my 2 cents 😂 cool video get more of the bucyrus erie 400h not many left anymore most have been cut up for scrap unfortunately

[@heavyequipmentandmore9994]

I really appreciate the information. This machine is really interesting to me. I think I am going to do a video separate on it I tried to look up information on the 400h but the only thing I could find was about the 40h just based on what I've learned and do a more in-depth walkthrough I love the history of these old machines your comment has given me more information and I could find on it. Once again I appreciate it

[@scottmcquarrie7295]

​@@heavyequipmentandmore9994, the 400-H Bucyrus Erie weighed 168- 171,000 pounds and they ran 8V92TTA Detroit Diesel Engines that made I believe 404 horsepower. Much bigger than the legendary 245 Cat. I saw a 400-H sold at an auction like 5 years ago in New Jersey, in the Matawan Holmdel area. I wonder if this is the same one? Where's this one located?

[@tomt9543]

A lot of the smaller WABCO scrapers had toggle switches instead of steering wheels for steering! Always thought that would be strange to operate!

[@kevingilbert9695]

Great video. Skadill would be proud.

[@greg10469]

Next time get in the cabs show us the controls n such

[@heavyequipmentandmore9994]

Great suggestion. I will do so. Thanks

[@jeffsnider3588]

Several of those have 12-71 Detroits. What's the story on all this equipment?

[@heavyequipmentandmore9994]

Going off of another comment and what I know personally they were bought out by a company called sambol but I would have to do more research on it. His comment made me very curious cuz a lot of things are coming together on this equipment

[@RussCarey]

Would be so cool to see someone get these up and running again

[@martymartin2894]

That excavator doesn't look in bad condition at all. I would love to see it started up.

[@daviddziomba9664]

If they have electric motors on the elevators its probably left over from when wabco bought into Letourneau old RG letourneau loved electric motors to power functions on equipment. Dave D.

[@adriaanboogaard8571]

Nothing wild about the radiators being gone. The same shameful thing is going on in lot's of places. I'm in Utah and saw some vintage cars a old guy had sitting in a old manufacturing area. Pretty much barn finds all gutted for the brass.

[@rogerjlosinski6072]

So where is this located ?

[@heavyequipmentandmore9994]

Yeah it's a shame. I hate to see it

[@astonmartin2727]

Would be nice to see these machines get back to work.

[@heavyequipmentandmore9994]

Yes, I agree. I would love to see them work. I don't understand how people can just let them sit and rot away

[@shakes7333]

I know Bucyrus also made a 500H that was 110+ tons in the mid 70s.

[@alangee79010]

Someone stripped of valuable copper and metal.

[@JonDingle]

What a great collection, sadly just rotting away. I bet Matt from Diesel Creek would be very curious and keen to see these machines. I am a UK viewer and now a subscriber! P.S. You need to do "Will it Start" videos on each machine! Was the motorbike (9:31 in the video) dead/alive or just left out to rot?

[@heavyequipmentandmore9994]

Yes, I think he would be interested in them. Appreciate the subscription and yes that dirt bike does run that's what I took out there

[@maplemanz]

I would love to have that 400H.

[@thegreenerthemeaner]

Stop with the Spiderman stuff. They are WABCO which stood for Westinghouse Air Brake Company. They used Detroits and were cheap to buy but expensive to own due to using electric controls. LeTourneau used them as well.

[@damienodonohue1327]

WABCO bought out Letourneau👍

[@robmikell7444]

Those Wabcos were probably repainted for auction & didn't sell. Electric motors? Westinghouse Air Brake Co WABCO. Funky steering too

[@heavyequipmentandmore9994]

Yes, agreed

[@anttimaja9931]

Bucyrus Erie Power💪

[@3406Accert]

Love the super dinky small STAY CLEAR aft decal just ahead of the counterweight, Unlike the absolutely mental Warning caution labels molesting the whole machine nowadays & there not placed there for the people around today's obnoxious machines there there because of insurance paranoia & simply avoids all & most fatality lawsuits because the said dumbass stickers are saving the super paranoid Non lovin' human buyers of today. Or Buy this & GFY. we have warning stickers all over for us & not you. Period

Time for a new Camera/Phone 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

[@johnhlubik297]

There was only 2 of the b-e 400 in the state of New Jersey one sambol construction owned. They sent it to the 825 training school Have no idea if it’s still there or not

[@heavyequipmentandmore9994]

That is very interesting that you bring that up. Because the company that bought out sambol is the company that owns those machines As far as my understanding was that was sambol property They bought out all their equipment and properties

[@johnhlubik297]

@@heavyequipmentandmore9994 bill-Jim bought the yard on 9 and maple av in Toms River after sambol retired. I worked there in the late eighty’s early Nineties as welder.

[@gloriaruffino5260]

What is the 856 training school? And where in New Jersey are they located? Thanks

[@johnhlubik297]

@@gloriaruffino5260 825. It’s a school where they teach heavy equipment operations it’s in Windsor if you go north on the turn pike it’s on the left around exit 8 I believe

[@heavyequipmentandmore9994]

Yes, growing up a lot of my friends worked for them before they were sold out and ran 623 and 627 scrapers I went to work for a company in freehold at the time I just find it very fascinating that you guys know the history of this area and ran across my video

[@maplemanz]

Detroit 12V92T

Or 8V92T

[@rogerjlosinski6072]

Where are these at ?

[@heavyequipmentandmore9994]

[@hamptonequipment5853]

I think that is a 1980 build
