These beautiful old machines are being cut up for scrap all the time across PA. So much cool history is lost around here every day. It's a shame. But that is a lot of money in weight for something that means nothing to them.
Sadly these days, too much money to be made out of the old steel and iron. The amount of man hours to cut and salvage everything would be made back easily in just the metal.
One of my grandfathers was from northern PA. He used to say “strength” the same way as you do. I never hear anybody say it that way down where I live now. Brought back a bunch of memories when I heard it tho. 😂 thanks for another interesting vid.
Haha! Yes I suppose yo people from other places I have an accent with the way I pronounce certain words. I guess you can call this coal region accent lol. Thanks!
Great job showing this documentary on this equipment and presenting the details and specs. Always enjoy your videos and thank you for continuing to bring this gems to light.
Shame she was gutted. For its age that thing is in immaculate shape cosmetically. Restoration is out since all the important parts are missing but would still be a good candidate for a paint job and preservation.
@@CarlHargreavesRustyRelicsUK Even just clear coat and leave that patina intact. Would require a lot of HAZMAT to clear all the lead paint and repaint this old girl.
so cool. id like to give one of them a try sometime. My machines are around the same vintage and its interesting to see how different some things are built and how similar other parts are
Another amazing video. It's sad to see this machine rusting away. What typically happens to motors removed from retired electric shovels? Are they rebuilt and reused in other shovels still in operation or something else?
Cool. Man, that top speed. In an hour’s time, it could only travel 85% the length of my home town. Wouldn’t want to drive that on a vacation across country. 🤓
The video is amazing. In germany we had also a P&H model 1400 in the late 1960 and early 1970 years at "Rheinisch Westfälische Kalkwerke in the Ruhrgebiet. Also there were models 1400, 1600 and 1900 AL in austria, at the iron ore mine "Erzberg" in styria. In the new book "FAUN Muldenkipper" from Alfred Meyer are some photographs of these machines. Do you have some informations about the dimensions of these machines because I want to construct a scale model of the model 1400. Last week I bought a spare manual but there were no dimensions inside.
It's amazing that so many artifacts like this are just rusting in mines. Pennsylvania needs a museum for these machines.

Reynolds Museum in Alberta. They practically had the drag me away at closing time.
I absolutely love getting new video notifications from PAmining!!
Haha, glad to hear that!

it would make a great gate guardian if it was all painted up

She must be parked in a secure spot, I'm amazed it still had intact glass. Excellent find and documentary sir !
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

Been waiting for another great video Thank you sir
You're welcome! :)
This would make a great tiny house!
You must spend hours doing research. Amazing as always, and thanks a bunch. And I thought I knew about old iron.
It can take a long time depending on the machine. Some are easy and some are hard. Thanks!
beautiful and very interesting video
Prety slick! Thanks!
This is cool! I love these old big machines! Very fascinating indeed! 😁
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers 😁
Great video
Amazing .... Thanks
You're welcome! :)
P&H invented alot of new tech.
" Magna Torque" swing was on my 670 rigging crane .
Excellent company .
Sad they are gone .
Sad that Komatsu owns them now
@@robby844 Komatsu is excellent quality and has self diagnoisis on machine unlike CAT.
@@MitzvosGolem1 Komatsu is garbage and Cat has had self diagnosis for years...
@@robby844 i dont like komatsu hoes or dozers the ones ive run are slow amd weak and they were newer machines
@@wvboy0311 100% agree. Hated operating them and hated working on them
Awesome machine! Thank you for the history.

Wooow that's awesome kool, 1400 is massive.
Another amazing video. It's sad to see this machine rusting away. What typically happens to motors removed from retired electric shovels? Are they rebuilt and reused in other shovels still in operation or something else?
Probably scrapped for the copper.
There are a couple dealers in Minnesota that part these things out for people that still run them.
All your videos are great and these docu's are really informative and interesting. If only that old machine could talk...........
I know right! Thanks I appreciate it!
Cool. Man, that top speed. In an hour’s time, it could only travel 85% the length of my home town. Wouldn’t want to drive that on a vacation across country. 🤓
So you said at 3:11 this machine is so fast your face would slide sideways on your skull.....😮that's fast.... Great vedio 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😆😆😆😆
i recognize the old girl! been there to see it a few times

Very interesting, thanks for that! Also glad you enjoyed it 🙂 greetings from PA!
Are the boom pins missing?
I know it's a lot of money, but what a shame to decommission the old machine! How fascinating iron of this size is. So cool!
That hours clock though. They got their moneys worth from this machine!
A few years back you did a video on the Bucyrus-Erie 88-B III. Is that machine still in operation or has it been scrapped?
That 88B worked the pit with a 992C and I believe that it is parked. I don't think it was used that often. Thanks!
Sold me 1 i dont care if working or not
Wow she is beautiful if i could get her past my wife i would put her in a prominent place in the house thanks Justin 👍✌️
Ahaha, you're welcome!
