Everything vintage here. The old Murphy sounds great. Northwest shovel and Mack dump truck. Northwest have sentimental value to me. 80D and Link Belt speeder were the first cranes I learned to operate.
My Dad drove a b model in the late 60s . My Brother and I would take turns going with him. I remember that old girl road rough. We would go to the salt mines south of Rochester ny. He was working for K. E Fidler . Syracuse ny. brings back old memories
Thanks for uploading and that looks like the 1st Mack dump truck I worked on in 1970. I learned how to change a camel back spring. I was 18 and never did one,but the old guy did many of them.
Growing up in the 50s, my next door neighbor was a Anthracite Coal operator who stripped mined hard coal in Pa. Remember in his yard were about 12 Green and Red B model Macks along with draglines, dozers, etc. My buddy worked in the operation after high school and drove one of those Macks. Remember following him one day on the hiway, in his loaded Mack, when all of a sudden, all hell broke loose....broken axle.
Ha.. I drove a B-61 around the city 1984 it had 185 hp new may have had 100 left. Two stick triplex and every time ya hit a bump ya better lean your head to the right so ya don't hit the roof. Great driving truck tho. Air operated wipers and auto louvers in the front grill that ovep and close automatically! It was a very old and rare truck at that time 1984 so to see this takes me back
I was loading my trailer dump under a B/E similar to that in the late 80's.. P/u a load of bank run gravel, take it to the sand plant, dump & get a load od stone or sand,, take that to the concrete plant & do it again,,, & again & again. LOL
by chance would the shovel be an old SJ rig" SJ Groves owned a shovel like that: I spent a lot of hours in refitting new friction bands & dogs in it & the under carriage, we put some work in to the engine: put a new paint job on it" Now that I think about it' it was a boom rig" crane: they had this idea to load cut timber with it: that when there was already a high line in place: We where in WA State at the time" I'm from back east from back in the day: well no matter now" an other guy from the WA state was a vary good hand; I had a couple of days off he did what ever else to the shovel; a couple of locals who were so called operators right after we had it running & looking like new: took it over a bank nearly straight down; a long long ways down: They had this idea to use a cat to be in front of it: but of course the rig went right over the cat: screwed the North west all up: I was pretty ticked when I got back to hear about it: really PO' odd thing with SJ, we even had a cat in the dealer while in Texas; did what all to it" flashed it with new paint: a couple of days later it went up in a ball of fire; cut in to an under ground hot oil pipe line: some guy suppose to be in the know with a map said push here: end of cat, burned three days: melted the roof of the cab: Love the truck: having seen anything like that in years, really looks sharp people: great job: really nice' & sounds vary good: Early one I guess:
I drove a 68 B81 thermaldyne I learned on that quadruplex tandem dump truck . She had no Mercy But faithful as all hell!!!!!

2 of the sweetest sounding diesel motors in my book the ole Thermodyne Mack diesel & a Murphy Diesel in a NorthWest Dragline . :)
Don't forget the Alco RS3 locomotive.
Old School FANTASTIC!
Sounds like either a 673D or 711. No turbo on this one, just bottom end guts and lots of gears!
This old boy is a pretty damn good hand, Runs a good smooth cycle.
Yep. Doing good. All the dirt went in the dump box
Ya' just can't miss the sound of the Murphy !!
😊😃👍👏💪👍👍👍👍
Nice Mack!!
FANTASTIC
i like the b61 mack dump truck and northwest 60D shovel
Power steering by "Arm Strong". :)

Bob Reimer drove and loved the Macks. Wrote T B Model Mack Song. Please check it out by THE COUNTRY TIGERS CANADA

Maryanne!
Somewhere around there I hope Katy the bull dozer is happily plowing.

We were still iusing B models like that in the sand pit well into the 80's, Place closed up in 92 & still had 3 of them working.
@@donaldbartram6315 If you take care of those old ones they will last forever. Well made back them.

We where in WA State at the time" I'm from back east from back in the day:
well no matter now" an other guy from the WA state was a vary good hand; I had a couple of days off he did what ever else to the shovel; a couple of locals who were so called operators right after we had it running & looking like new: took it over a bank nearly straight down; a long long ways down: They had this idea to use a cat to be in front of it: but of course the rig went right over the cat: screwed the North west all up: I was pretty ticked when I got back to hear about it: really PO'
odd thing with SJ, we even had a cat in the dealer while in Texas; did what all to it"
flashed it with new paint: a couple of days later it went up in a ball of fire; cut in to
an under ground hot oil pipe line: some guy suppose to be in the know with a map said push here: end of cat, burned three days: melted the roof of the cab:
Love the truck: having seen anything like that in years, really looks sharp people: great job: really nice' & sounds vary good: Early one I guess:
