My father owned one of these at his gold mine out from Yunta, in south Australia when I was a lad. I remember him buying it as an old wreck, he restored it to perfect operating order and used it for some years. Brings back fond memories watching this guy operate it.
i am trying to get one of these things with the 3 cylinder air cooled engine to run properly but it won't keep the revs at a constant leval ..goes too high or too low and stalls ...any suggestions
Hello Neal,just picked up on this, I assume you refer to the 3YDA ? sounds like fuel problem,either through fuel filters,drawing air, or sucking up a contaminate from the tank,possibly causing air lock ! good luck
Light duty bucket digging hard chalk(would be fine dragging up a loose-spoil heap! ) a BAX would be better. Experienced should know that this bucket could be better dressed before attempting to alter the dump rope !
dave bonner Absolutely agree ! The AL bucket was only intended for dredging and light digging - the AX and bigger BAX buckets had much better penetration. The anchor links for the drag chains were adjustable, and I think that these would benefit from being set in the lower position. That said, the teeth were set flat on the bottom, which means that any wear on the front underside of the tooth tends to make it ride up out of the ground - not a good design for heavy digging ! AX and BAX bucket teeth were pitched downwards to improve ground penetration.
Thanks Steve,good to know there's still some knowledge about ! All rush to get to GDSF at the time (didn't get time to dress the bucket (first time out for this old girl for a number of years ! )
dave bonner Thank you for your note ! It’s been a year or three since I drove Bob’s 10 R-B, rigged grab, loading their stone crushing set up at Dorset Steam Fair. The B&A tagline on it was scrounged from Benny Cambridge, and came off a little Smith Super 10, that was new to Stourport Power Station and, I guess, ended it’s days in a car breakers yard in Mansfield ! Your 10 R-B is unusual, in that it has pendant suspension - generally they are continuously reeved with 8 part line to the boom point sheaves. It looks a nice clean burning engine - usually they weren’t ! With separate fuel pumps, they were difficult to balance with any degree of success. I’ve a 19 R-B, fitted with the 6YCN engine, and that’s dirty, under load . . . . Regards, Steve A.
Thanks again Steve, yes,originally 8 part,my conversion to pendant,enabling the shortening of stick for short bed low-loader ! fair bit of work. You pleased with the "Jones" machines ?
dave bonner Hi Dave, Both the 19 R-B, and the 10 R-B that Marcus bought, from the Jones sale were machines with YCN engines - and both had a stuck fuel pump, when we bought them. Fortunately, Marcus was able to work some magic on both of them, and got each one running on all cylinders, before we came to load them. The 19 R-B had suffered some damage to the side doors, due to strong winds, which we managed to more-or-less straighten out, and the 10 R-B had a damaged big end shell, which Marcus has replaced, but otherwise both machines are in really nice condition and we’re very pleased with them.
This 10 RB,built 1956 is powered by a Ruston & Hornsby YCR water cooled oil engine . I restored the machine over 2 years; it is now at the S.E.Davis collection in Astwood Bank,England (2019) best wishes Dave Bonner
@@davebonner6825 nice, I have a 10RB as well but it has an air cooled ruston en hornsby engine.. I saw something different as it is on my ruston thats why i asked the question..
Thankyou, Most of the more recent 10 RBs were fitted with the 3 cylinder YDAN (N denotes "Navvy") Also a good,reliable engine; also - no need to worry about anti-freeze in winter.Good to hear that you have a 10 RB

very very good operator and beautiful 10 RB
Super seeing one of these still work & cool seeing someone who still knows how to operate it properly. Thanks for the video 👍
My company have few of this ruston bucyrus.. And until today only have 1 uncle around 70yo who can operate it
Tnah you. Nice to see old iron working with a operator that knows how to use it.
Ol' boy is an operator. Making that look easy.
Very impressive, the guy certainly knows how to operate that machine!
Ol' folk is an operator. A very good combination
This boy knows what he is about
The operator is jackal. Smooth and easy.
A skilled driver, great
Thank you for the video

That would take all day to move anything, but still cool
Classic plant...Dorset..???
Does anyone know what kind of motor is running in this machine?

dave bonner May I correct you, it’s a 3YCN engine in your navvy ! At 1956, I expect that it will be a 20,000 series machine.
Cool!!!
