growing up in the 50's in iowa a company called Comstock Sand and Gravel had a pit on our farm it was only a couple hundred yards from the house. I spent countless hours watching dozers, draglines and rock crushers etc operating. After hrs i would climb all over that equipment checking it out. Great adventure for a young boy. Still enjoy watching that old equipment. Thanks for sharing.
I have been binge watching all of your videos. As a little boy, me and my friends would watch heavy equipment working all day long. Now as a 68-year-old grandfather I'm still crazy about watching heavy equipment working...lol
I love seeing the equipment I saw as a kid restored and operating. The site of this year's show left a lot to be desired. I just wish the people who used to run this equipment so productively and smoothly were still around.
Come to Brownsville Pa August 9,10,11 2019. National Pike show and see a lot of operators and machines that have done it for years. It's truly the world's biggest sandbox
The HCEA's 36th annual International Convention & Old Equipment Exposition is September 23-25, 2022, at our National Construction Equipment Museum, 16623 Liberty Hi Road, Bowling Green, Ohio!
My goodness. I hadn't seen LeSueur mentioned in a very long time. I did business with a foundry there; they supplied many of our prototype castings. Good people there and lots and lots of farming.
Good video. All of these machines are very cool. Are the smaller cable and trip bucket dozers Caterpillar? Those are cool but it looks like it has a lot of controls. The one I’m the end is cool but it doesn’t seem to pick up much and looks like a neat design but it doesn’t really work
Well, THAT was an assortment! Looked like the triple-6 was just running one motor and had to have the double bus motor to shove it around. If you didn't O.D. on this run, you never will. THanks, Toby! Double-A-PLUS!
Boston Power Cat has a triple-6 AND a double 9-G pusher with a lot of other NICE stuff. Haven't heard anything from the lad after he got hitched so I guess diesel takes 2nd place to family life. And you did a FINE job getting what you got! I'd hate to just have a blasted push block on a tractor. I knew one outfit I worked for had one just like that that they put you on if you messed up. One of the brothers that worked there that was always getting into something messed up and got put on the pusher. I think it was a TD-24 or such double stacker because he went to sleep with it moving and took both stacks off with himself when he went over the hoofd after it went into the only hole on the job. Glad I wasn't there! Thanks, Toby! A-PLUS!
One super sized 'sand box' this would be fun x 10 ! Good and always, interesting video,...thanks! I did wonder at some of these loaders though,..oh well, hindsight sure is 20/20 isn't it?
What is the loader at the beginning of the video and around what time was it produced. Also the same question for the bucket shovel at beginning of the video. Thanks for sharing wonderful video's. 👍
It didn’t look great did it? I think it was developed to enable the widening of roads and highways without having to close a lane. Both this machine and the truck it would load could be on the new lane only without causing delays to the traffic. I’ve seen loaders with side tip buckets for this purpose but the truck would have to be on the existing carriageway. Also a side tip bucket would dictate the direction of work.

I am 65 still runing old tractors love it
Thanks for sharing this! Some of this equipment I'd only seen pictures or drawings of- never thought I'd see them operating.
Those old operators definitely earned every dime I learned to run a dozer on a old D2 and a cable D8 and grader on a 12 f knuckle buster

Man I love the sound of the old iron under load.
I use to run a 955k and a 977 loader,these look so primitive.Great video.!!!
Just love the sound of them holding machines... what was that green machine is that a dedicated pusher?

Some were just means of getting-around another company's patents.
As soon as the patent expires, sanity returns to machinery design.
What is the loader at the beginning of the video and around what time was it produced. Also the same question for the bucket shovel at beginning of the video. Thanks for sharing wonderful video's. 👍
The one at the is something interesting, never seen one like that, thanks for the video
That Euclid TC 12 has a push block instead of a blade
That last machine was very interesting what was that?
That last machine that dumps in the back is absolutely ridiculous!

We’re you at the the tractor pull cause if you were that green pulling sled is my dads
Convention open to the general public?
Limited visibility in front, with this kind of equipment. Drive and hope for the best?
What it is that green dozer?
Very nice indeed! Thanks!
Shure hope you weren't stuck in the mud and have more great equipment to show us.
AWESOME !!!
That was supposed to be... those old machines
