No matter how slow that looks today its a far cry from hand shoveling it in a horse wagon with boards that were loose on floor. My step dad used to talk about that moving floor boards to let gravel spread on ground then take a shovel and level it out
Cool old iron! I like what you asked about the old truck drivers. My Dad use to say that there was only 2 things wrong with truck drivers. “Too much time on their hands to think and nothing to think with”!
Kinda takes the meaning out of today's vapor lock. From what I was told people were smiling ear to ear operating that new equipment. Most were happy to have a job. Operating that stuff was like the 60's & early 70's muscle cars. Now we see them as Historic. So very few of the solid fuel machines left.
That's good to see the Mann steam waggon and the Marion steam shovel working together, I live quite close to where the Mann waggon was made (110 years ago) I can't say I remember them!
Absolutely awesome. The lack of suspension.....I could go on with stories like everyone else. I’ll just say, Another reason to respect our Elders. Happy New Year!
Imagine as a contractor back in the day showing up with these two machines! You would be looking pretty good, especially as the other guy had a horse, a leather bucket and a shovel to move the dirt.
Respect to perdons who have conceived this useful machines and respect to persons who permit that these nice steam mechanics continue to live and be known by the future generations.
I chuckled when the bucket dumps, everything falls out and the truck doesn't wiggle. I guess with no suspension, it just doesn't drop down or move at all.
@Alvaro Higino I dunno, I've stood next to steam at working engine shows, and have several thousand hours operating diesels. The modern diesels are far quieter than steam & the older diesels are honestly quite simular
Skadill, thank you for the great video of these beautiful old ladies at work!!! Pretty sure those old boys didn't get to play with the steam stuff as kids, but.... They're playing like little kids!!😎🚛🚜
Хорошая штука паровой автомобиль! Ни сцепления, ни коробки передач! Но с другой стороны - всю ночь топить котёл чтобы утром на 5 минут куда-то съездить...
Iron, Cedar, grease, brass... what doesn't make these badass. If their was ever a gas crisis people would be scrambling to use these machines. Steam power will never go by the wayside.
Of course truck drivers whined back in those days. They pioneered it, to be passed down thru the generations to crop we have now. Oddly enough, we had from 35 to 60 drivers depending on the times, some for many years, but there was always about 12 that whined. Us guys in the shop knew them as the "dirty dozen"
TheRatshooter Truck drivers are spoiled children they wouldn’t be happy if they were given the pot of gold at the end of rainbow, they would still find something to cry about...
Very cool old technology. The steam could really hurt you if you weren't careful, of course. Boilers could explode sometimes. Still cool to see though☺
This video was really cool to watch, 👍 because i really love old machines and trucks, but these are some really really old machines and trucks so i love this even more, since this truck and that loader are over 100 years old. So this is something that i don't see everyday, but i really wish that i could see it everyday.
How majestic is that the power of steam no real noise the brute strength and notice how when the bucket drops the truck doesn’t even move heck neither does the shovel. I’m sure men bitched back in the day but if you were one of the lucky few working with “state of the art equipment” a hundred years ago you were probably happy you weren’t hand loading an oxen cart.
That ol dump gets right with it once the chain is engaged! Wonder if they made any steam log trucks. I'll have to do some investigative work on that matter! I'd love to show you a picture my grandpa took in his logging days of this steam locomotive thing that had skis on the front for steering, a pretty interesting picture.
Yes the Lumbard steam tractor skis in from crawler tracks in the back,did you know they had no brakes and depended on crews to add straw or sand as needed to provide friction on all the log cars following the engine on the down grades.
Yes, at least one Foden wagon was used here in BC for steam logging. There is an image of it in "the Spanner", if you dig for it. I have to assume this is on the island, as the Mann lives @ the BC forestry Museum in Duncan.
Because of heir need for fuel and water stops, their range makes electric cars look good. Unless you have a flash boiler like some steam cars, the lead time to get ready to run is lengthy.
To empty the tray on the Mann Wagon I am not 100% sure, but other manufactures used a hydraulic ram. The water was used from the water tank. Either the reciprocating pump from the engine or a steam injector would be employed to force the water into the ram.
Why such a small bed? You could have it as high as the walls and the steam engine wouldn't give a crap, it would pull, especially with that chain drive.
This is how the pyramids were built, of course they used more wood than metal back then so those old machines arent around any longer for us to see like these are. Look how many Viking ships are left, same thing happened to all the ancient Egyptian steam construction equipment. 🗿😋
Imagine a company put breaks like that on a piece of equipment today. They say that be way too easy for him to fix. And we need to have a go at least 80 miles per hour. And there's no cup holder for in case of woman wants to drive it. Sorry the computer doesn't know the difference between breaks and breaks

Hahah. That's gold!
Interesting how much quieter they are compared to gas or diesel.
That was my thought too. You can really only hear the gears moving which was very surprising.
Ya there's no explosions happening with this machine
combustion vs a quiet fire / boiling:)
Cuz its just a coal fire .. so its just movement noise... no high psi carbon combustion . That's where all the noise comes from
Until the boiler exploded

Reminds me of the book of the little steam shovel that could, ended up being a boiler in the new building's foundation.
Hey I remember that book!!!
Saw an animation of that
Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel
Dick
that’s the one
Yeah! And the more people that watched it work the faster it went.
That’s an awesome video. Caught some serious history in action. Thanks for finding all this stuff for us to enjoy.
I love how quiet steam machines are.

nice restored equipment. i just picked up an insley front shovel, got it running and working on relining a couple clutch bands now
Those old girls aren't for the faint of heart.
2:26 At least they got some shroudings on those meat mincing gears haha
Imagine as a contractor back in the day showing up with these two machines! You would be looking pretty good, especially as the other guy had a horse, a leather bucket and a shovel to move the dirt.
Thank you for such a wonderfully informative video! One thing that hasn't improved is how quiet the workplace could be!
Respect to perdons who have conceived this useful machines and respect to persons who permit that these nice steam mechanics continue to live and be known by the future generations.
Thank you! After my more than six decades on this planet, I finally know what Mike Mulligan's steam shovel sounded like!
Awesome! I'm going to stop bad mouthing the old John Deer loader at work though. Great video thanks for sharing.
That is some history there that’s for sure 👌
I chuckled when the bucket dumps, everything falls out and the truck doesn't wiggle. I guess with no suspension, it just doesn't drop down or move at all.
It does have a leaf spring suspension in the back. But doesn't seem to do much.😂
A lot of passion together and nice savoir faire. Nice mechanic. The result is impressionnant.
At least those ancient machines were much quieter than modern diesel.
Haha... you havent been around either have you?
@@woodspecialist83 How is it possible? I live in Ukraine so I can say so only based on video noise level.
@Alvaro Higino I dunno, I've stood next to steam at working engine shows, and have several thousand hours operating diesels. The modern diesels are far quieter than steam & the older diesels are honestly quite simular
Magnificent! Here's to the power of steam 🍺🤠
Too cool! I wish I was born in the pioneer days haha
Im a modern day excavator operator. That was very cool to watch. From then to now. Gee it's scary
Is it just me who feels like I'm living at the wrong time?👏👏👏👏
That crane is amazing. Nice to see a truck with the steering wheel on the correct side too.....
Skadill, thank you for the great video of these beautiful old ladies at work!!! Pretty sure those old boys didn't get to play with the steam stuff as kids, but.... They're playing like little kids!!😎🚛🚜
These things are really quiet!
Love the history. Rough ride though!
Just viewed, steam truck is really cool!!
Steve shovels made the greatest engineering accomplishment that humans have done on the planet.The Panama Canal.
Good to see these running because we will need them when the EMP hits.
if i had this, i would put it to work as much as possible, i really wish i had stuff like this, i would find every opertunity to use it
Jay Leno needs that for his collection.
Хорошая штука паровой автомобиль! Ни сцепления, ни коробки передач!

Awesome builds of art
What efficient machines for the time! imagine that this work was done by hand at that time!
My dad was a 1912 model!!!(;>) This is some good stuff, Todd!!!(:>)
Iron, Cedar, grease, brass... what doesn't make these badass. If their was ever a gas crisis people would be scrambling to use these machines. Steam power will never go by the wayside.
Thats a great video!!
I like how they're not scared to get em dirty
Can you imagine back then wow amazing
Might just be the best video that I have seen in a long time!!👌🏻
remarkable !!! happy new year buddy !!
Great history, good old days.
This is the technology that dug the Panama Canal. So crude but it was good enough.
Interesting to see how tech developed thereafter to today’s level.
Rim size and tire height - now we know where this car tuning tendency started. Ah, yes, and the ride looks same as for these new tuned BMWs.
armstrong power steering too !
Enjoy the video👍, would love to see up close how they work ! Very impressed on, How far we have come in only in a short time .
приятное ретро ! как вымершие пейджеры и голубиная почта )
What ua couple of wonderments !

Well you've just given me something to wine about.
(log trucker)
Construction sites were so much quieter back then I bet
Steam shovel loading steam truck
Balanced as all things should be
It is good to have a steam truck when it is cold outside.
It must have been some adrenalin rush running that on the side of a mountain.
Very cool old technology. The steam could really hurt you if you weren't careful, of course. Boilers could explode sometimes. Still cool to see though☺
GREAT VIDEO!
THES MACHINES ARE QUITE NIMBLE AT THE HANDS OF BOTH OPERATORS!!
WHERE IS THIS AT??
I will never complain about the tiny boxes on a Morooka again.
That is amazing them ole boys and girl worked for there days pays

In the UK councils Tried to get Steam Trucks aka Lorrys off the Roads as some could do 50mph thry were deemed Dangerous

Really amazing !!
see that black person building America? oh wait thats a steam engine!
Thanks, Jake and I too believe this was just a little before your time.Mine tooI think I'd take a Model-6 myself.
Because of heir need for fuel and water stops, their range makes electric cars look good. Unless you have a flash boiler like some steam cars, the lead time to get ready to run is lengthy.
Fascinating
Amazing!
The dump truck street legal?😅
Nice video, thanks! Wondering how your Camaro is coming along.
Kids playing in the sand box, old school rules.
Those machines literally built our cities
this is sweet
I dont get why they didn't put higher side walls on that dump body to hold more materials?
Nunca vi uma máquina desta qd era criança aqui no Brasil.
That was cool as hell, what type of system was used too lift the dump box ?
My question as well!
A person with a stick
To empty the tray on the Mann Wagon I am not 100% sure, but other manufactures used a hydraulic ram. The water was used from the water tank. Either the reciprocating pump from the engine or a steam injector would be employed to force the water into the ram.
Love it

If you're ever in Pennsylvania you need to check out the streetcar graveyard
I dont get out much,but that part of the world would be on a top 3 list

Steam truck is still better than any Detroit 2 stroke.
The steam trucks or lorries where built-in England
everything is pretty quiet all things considered.
Паровые машины, классс)
It might have helped build America, but that steam wagon/truck, is British. I've never seen one here in the US, Where is this btw?
I am watching this moving picture on my steam tele-phone.
Our driver complains about newer trucks, I can't imagine what he'd say about that one.
10 horsepower with 1,000,000 lbs of torque
I'm taking that over an F250 any day of the week
Really enjoyed it, I'm sure its a dying breed, kids nowadays into protesting and video games! God bless!
ok boomer wtf are we supposed to use steam tech for.
Lil Agin for you probably nothing, God bless you!
@@strietermarinesurvey1415 my bad sorry for being rude
Lil Agin you have a good point! No offense takin! 👍🏼

Back when engineers had good taste and style.
Lol top of the line
Should have shown dumping or unloading
Wow couldnt have stuck around to film the truck dump its load
