I remember that our sweepers were Elgin's.I would always go outside to be able to see them sweep. This was mid 50's to 60's. South Bend, Indiana residential street.
I always have loved the old fashioned 3-wheel street sweepers. We had one in the early 60s in Minnesota when I was growing up. A late 1950s Wayne three-wheel street sweeper. We kids called it the yellow sweeper. Very strange and intriguing machine on three wheels.
I live in Alberta. My father grew up in a small town called Berwyn. They had a black 3 wheel sweeper. I think a pelican from the 1960s. In Edmonton, my hometown, they are all truck mounted Eagles or the Vacuum kind. I guess each region of North America uses different machines. I would love to see this system being used. These 3 wheelers would make good machines for sweeping a parking lot.
These are a treat! I'm not a sweeper fan but I can't get over how awesome this one looks. A giant mechanical monster. Same with the Dempster Dumpmaster. I bet these had a great roar to them too!

Such a cool design. Those old 81's were really something. Thanks so much for posting.
I wish that these detachable bins were still being made. They would work even today.

I’m loving all these Dempster videos of yours! Where are you getting these? Just curious, I don’t care about the piracy hocus-pocus hahaha
No piracy. They were given to me by the Dempster family
