Built one about thirty years ago. The bolt concept worked pretty well.
I absolutely love your machine documentaries, I have watched them all. I'm not in the heavy machinery industry but really enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! Always enjoy hearing that from fans :)
Beautiful machine, thank you for the history! Awesome job once again!
Your welcome, glad you enjoyed it!
@@PAmining hey PAmining I run @Classiccrane on Instagram. I love your documentaries. I would like you to contact me. I want to feture your videos on my site. I also would like information on your locations of any manitowoc cranes DRAGLINE in PA. Contact me at @Classiccrane Instagram or merlinocraneandhoist17@gmail.com
Thanks , John
Another excellent video. Thanks for bringing the knowledge of these old machines to us!
I've always found that high amp hum a bit unnerving.
Another great documentary 👍👍👍
Awesome documentary!!!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for your great video!
Your welcome :)
Love Your Videos Mate
Keep Up The Good Work
Respect And Support
From the UK
Many thanks, your support is appreciated! Thank you!
Good old Ward/Leonard electrics! Thanks, Pal!
Nice work Thanks
Photographed one of these beauties at Slippery Rock, PA back in 2003. One of the first draglines I got pictures of. Beautiul machine. The one I saw was painted white. I like the color of the one in the video better. :) Thanks for sharing! Always enjoy your videos.
Slippy. It's Slippy. Pa Skook
very interesting video. Tks
The best documentatary of youtube!!Nice!!!
darn good shape, the company kept it up.
Nice work dear colleague
Amazing🚜👍
Underrated dragline ngl
My first thought when I saw it was the old 10W. The key feature they shared besides Ward Leonard controls and size was that cab sticking out in the front.
Great video, your heavy equipment walk-arounds are unparalleled! Clean looking machine, considering she's 37 years old and been around the block, i'm sure.
Thanks man I appreciate it!
love the big old american iron
WoW I from Thailand 🇹🇭🇹🇭 nick video
Hello, on your D 9 documentary you made some years ago, you showed the forward and reverse control lever which I have used. But there was what looks like an aftermarket aluminum pencil size shaped stick that the control lever would touch and move around when shifting.
I'm clueless as to what this is. Can you help tell me what it's purpose is?. Thanks so much for your educational videos.
LARRY M. GARRISON the reverse beep switch ?
Very nice looking 380W. I put in a bid to rebuild one at the Lafarge Quarry in the NE of England back in 2009. I think they decided to scrap it instead of rebuild it. I have also worked on 2 of the operation 680s (at that time there were 5 of these operating I think (2010). I think this machine was the one that probably prompted Marion to develop the 7450 model. I erected one of these in South Africa. We also developed the 7250 at Marion but only built one model.
I would have loved to see the 680! Marion definitely had a way better designed modular machine than BE. Thanks!
@@PAmining I always liked our (Marion) modular machines over the Bucyrus 380 and 680, not that they were bad just biased thinking i guess. I put up one Marion 7450 in South Africa in the 1980s, alongside a Marion M-2 Blast hole drill. Both were good productive machines. I have been on 3 of the 6 Bucyrus 680 machines. One was scrapped, one is working in Florida, One in California after being moved from Ohio, two in Jordan (which i spent a lot of time on) and one in Brazil that knowbody knows much about. One interesting design feature on the 680 is that it has two swing gearcases but four swing shafts to engage the swing gear. Two different lengths of swing shafts out the bottom of each case. Strange but it worlks!
Would have liked to have seen that extension cord. What voltage? Could hear that transformer humming.
4160V is the incoming power. Thanks!
Always wounded, how is the layout and path for a dragline through out the whole Strip mine area. Dig here, dump there then what?
memyselfand ifarmer then REPEAT, over & over again,
All day/night long, dig the earth off the coal seam, dump it in the last
Cut that was dugout..... 🥴
I would assume it’s still an operation because it’s buzzing.
diezel engine ? inside video ?
There were Two of the 18 total of these B&E 380 Draglines down in
Taylor county Florida, they were at the Juana limerock mine just on the south edge of
Highway 98 by the Econfina River on the Gulf of Mexico in the Big Bend area...
They stopped digging there around 2010, although I took photos of it from the air after this time.
BTW... you Should have stood in between the Sun ☀️ when shooting the operators cab, 3:57. then
We could have Actually Seen IN.... 😳🥴😱
Cool. That was pretty hard to do with the glare and shadow lol
Hi mate, I am building a scale model of the Rapier W700 - similar sized modular machine. Do you have any idea what diameter the main boom chords are roughly? Dave
If I had to guess I would go with 6 inch, but I'm really not sure.
PAmining thank you 👍
When do they have to replace the tub I guess that is a big under taking.
A very big job. There's videos on UA-cam showing how it's done. The whole house needs to be jacked up and the tub is then slid out from underneath the machine
Display?
Love your videos! Can you do some videos of excavators?
Thanks, and yes, I have tons of videos on excavators lol
ya know i think you should do a remake of the Hitachi ex1200. the-7 model in the mass/bulk excavator configuration
Why do I always hear a electric hum around the electric draglines when they are sitting idle
this guy reminds me of hard hat harry, if you know you know
🎶 We are some 100 ton dump trucks! 🎵
Would of been nice see it operate

This one is a 1982 the one in your video is a 1983 so he's got videos of 2 different 380w both in excellent condition I wonder if there both working at the same mine
That machine is in pristine condition. Very impressive. Normally eqipment like that is partially broken, scratched up and rusty.
Is it possible to add the metric numbers for the size and capacity? It would be a good aid for the folks who doesn't use the imperial system (like me).
The problem with that is it would tie up a lot more video time to repeat every imperial unit in metrics. Thanks
I'm surprised it's not in operation. If those wheels aren't turning, it's not earning.
Cool video. Too bad you couldn't get inside. I don't think that thing is going to move almost a half a mile in one hour. Maybe a couple hundred yards, tops.
As an electrician I can never work these things out exactly how they are powered . Yes , I can hear the frequency hum of the 6000 something volts but we never seem to see a supply cable anywhere. Even when you showed the back of the machine still couldn’t see a cable . Plus , high voltage cables I would think would be super susceptible to blowing out in a rough , quarry type environment.
you can see the cable in many other videos, yes is kinda cumbersome to see a cable laying around in such environment but the really interesting part from an electrical point of view is the "dynamotor" converter/power supply and the "slip ring" to allow 360° movement
Hiking in some mines - as a kid not sure it is allowed any more - I recall seeing a large electric cable and following it to where the dragline was working. It seems like Big Muskie even had special machines for its cable management.
I thought on all these BIG ones the foot pedals where swing.
No. Every dragline is different.
@@PAmining are you sure.I am not being judgment against your expert knowledge. But I have seen a lot of videos of big and I mean MONSTER that thay used there feet to swing. I have a operating manual for a big
P& H and it was foot swing.
This machine is joystick swing.....left hand swing
@@jamescruce1738 thank you wish when thay demo exavator thay would show what controls do. For the layman who does not know how thay operate.
R P ........I moved, assembled & also operated the 380W dragline as well as maintained them.....in Florida
Dinosaur🦕🦖
Built, Assembled & maintain 3 of these machines in Florida thur the years.......Not one of BE’s better idea’s.....
James Cruce Did you work on the two at the Juana mine in
Taylor county, by the Gulf of Mexico..???
Yes sir......
We had a drag line by my house that was bigger than this one I got to climb all over it 😂 it wasn't open either
I'm thinking it has a D399 Cat engine.
Some of them were updated to the 3516 Cat Engine
@@jamescruce1738 He said D349 and I was racking my brain to remember if that was an actual CAT engine (D348 is a V12). At first I thought he meant D379 but then I saw something where they were upgraded to 3516 so I deduced that they must have started with a D399.
We have an old Lima dragline by my house and it has a D379. It is about half the size of this machine so D399 makes sense. I've always been interested in those old Cat engines cuz I helped rebuild a bunch of them in the 90s with old guy who could build them in his sleep.
D349 was the 16 cylinder version of the D348
@@dieseldave71 Wow.... I've never seen one of those. I Googled it and found some pics of them. I have rebuilt 346's and 348's and didn't even realize there was a 16-cylinder option. I'm thinking the D349 is strictly industrial and I'm on the HE side of the business.
So strange to see a walking drag that small
If this doesn’t get preserved I will shit on the mine owners desk and then in his dresser
Edit:
Who owns that machine
