These Google finds are starting to grow on me. Wouldn’t mind seeing more. Other people do them, but yours are diff. Please continue with this series.
I've gotten really into searching around on Google earth so hopefully there will be more
@@MobileInstinct after re-watching your Johnstown Flood video, you should do another Johnstown video, only this time doing one of the Rolling Mill Mine Disaster of 1902!!!
the reason I say this, is because during my 2nd trip out to Johnstown, Pennsylvania (I have "YOU" to thank for that, by the way) this past week, I had come across a historic plaque right there by the entrance to the Inclined Plane that describes the deaths of 112 miners from a gas explosion at the old Rolling Mill Mine that happened back in 1902.
At first I didn't know where the entrance itself was at during my initial visit last year, but after looking up a video on UA-cam, there's a hiking trail on the opposite side where the hill (and directly underneath where the Inclined Plane goes up the hill) that leads to the long-closed entrance to the mine.
You should visit Johnstown for a 2nd time once the Inclined Plane is operational again, where you'll be able to do a documentary video of your own, talking about Rolling Mill Mine and the 112 miners that sadly lost their lives in that disaster.
Imagine operating that thing 😮
@MobileInstinct I've tried to use that app but I couldn't figure it out. I need to get someone to show me how lol
My Dad actually ran a smaller version of this, early in his career, in a stone quarry. He worked there for 52 yrs and is now the ripe age of 93.😀
So
PA Mining has been filming videos and doing in depth walk arounds of abandoned and old equipment still in operation for many years. Often times old gear like this just gets left behind or ends up meeting the cutting torch for scrap. I work for a large construction company that had many old rock trucks and a large Northwest cable shovel that sat for many years in the yard at the quarry, couple years ago a company was called in to cut them up and they went for scrap metal. Most people don't realize the cost involved to move something like that dragline, that's why it was most likely left behind.
Okay that is seriously cool. A gorgeously simple peice of engineering. I love the 1920s versions of these. Hopefully someone remembers this piece of kit and she goes back into service
Its a dragline
It's a dragline
It’s a dragline
It's a Dragline
Now that's a creepy Tonka truck!😮
I don’t understand why people or companies just abandon equipment like this. It must of cost a pretty penny back in the day.
I agree. Even in parts this thing is worth a decent amount
Once they’ve finished with something that size the cost of dismantling it and moving it outweighs its value. Plus there’s always a chance it’ll be needed again in future. At least they didn’t cut it up for scrap.
Same reason we left an unbelievable amount of War materiel behind in the Pacific and Europe after World War ii. We donated it to a lot of other countries because it looked good politically and in the press, and the cost of returning this equipment was prohibitively expensive.
Ironic, ain't it that what once was costly critical supplies was a Monumental headache once the shooting stopped.
just browsed google for a few mins and found a great condition 1980 unit for nearly $700,000
Cost more to move it than what it's worth.. outdated
Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel Mary Anne! Great children's book.
YES! Classic.
You have to have superb depth perception to pilot one of those!
AWSOME GUYS WHAT A SIGHT TO SEE OLD ...YOU DONT SEE THESE ANY MORE THESE WERE VERY LOUD WHEN RUNNING......GREAT!! VIDEO!!!
Used to sound like thunder or artillery when somebody dropped the bucket at the Sandow and Three Oaks mines in Texas
WOW! makes me think of diesel creek should rescue this!!
Haha, no way he'd be able to get it back home even with Scrappy help
THAT would be epic!!
I think he is in Pennsylvania. Someone tell him
Might have to recruit Sam, Clint and Kevin from C&C Equipment to help
It would be so cool to see heavy D and his team try and extract that beast
Back in the '80's our shop repowered a 4600 Manitowoc for a large dredging company, replaced the V-1710 Cummins (old V-12/1710 cu. in.) with a new K-19 (in-line 6/1150 cu. in.) and rebuilt the NH250 that is the 2nd engine. Very successful repower.
That thing is shockingly in near complete shape. Get Derek from Vice Grip Garage or Jennings motorsports and they could probably get that thing started!
My thoughts exactly 👍, put out the Challenge! Will it run ? But I guarantee he won’t be driving it 600ks home 😁
I used to work down the road from Manitowoc Crane, and the new units don't look a whole lot different than that.
Manitowoc 4600 Dragline. My father used to operate one.
Perhaps your father operated this exact one?
@The_XL7_and_7 Unless this is outside Berlin Pennsylvania, I doubt it.
My grandfather owned one it was in Utaville PA up to late 90’s then it went to FL on a barge for a phosphate mine. I work on dredges along the east coast on many 4600 dredges and heavy lift cranes that’s a workhorse and I guarantee it’s owned by someone it can be put back into service with minimal effort.
I was working with that machine in the late 1990s and early 2000s in a mine near that area.
I believe it's a 10 yard bucket.
@@ctaber2011Coal mine? Was the drag bucket used to strip overburden from the coal seam?
Awesome! Thank you for sharing
It doesn't look like its been sitting for to long the lucas oil on the floorboard is pretty new
They are magnificent pieces of machinery, but that is on the small side of the range. The large ones you can park a dozer in the bucket and the cab is 4 or 5 stories in the air! Maybe more.
Love the Google find videos. Keep them coming! Thanks
I worked for Boh Brothers construction in 1985 modernizing a sewage treatment plant in Gulfport Mississippi. We had that exact type of Manitowoc 😊
I'd pay to see Andrew Camarata take that excavator home and get it running .
It would probably with a little coaxing start and run right there! Deisel engines are very resilient and for giving. By the looks of that coolant, it was well maintained.
He definitely could use a new excavator, his last one burned up!
Why take it home and get it running when you can do it there lol 😅
Wow, what find! This brings back memories of my day, sister and I were out hiking (somewheres in the northeast) and we ran across and old steam shovel. What great pieces of history.
This was fascinating.
You and Jay are great together
I subscribed to Jay's channel too
Thanks Chris
That thing is real art. Love it. Thanks for another great video.
Sweet find! That beast is like the size of my house 😂
The supposed 3rd largest one in the world sat near joliet /Tower city in Pa in the 80s , we used to ride to it on dirt bikes but I hear it was sold
@LetsDig18 and @DirtPerfect, we think we found your next drag-line acquisition. :D
Let's not forget Matt at
@Dieselcreek
Another great find. Enjoying these videos very much. Keep up the amazing work 👍😊
It’s always fascinating to me thinking of the person that used it last. Did they know it would be its final resting place? Where are they today etc? Cool video and huge piece of machinery.
Incredible how big this thing is and next time you go there it could literally be gone and scrapped for the metal.
Always fascinated how quickly time just destroys things. 2008 isn't that long ago, assuming that could've been the last time that thing ran.
The vandalism dosen’t help things either 😢
Great video!
Looks like Hazleton PA area
You need to come to Kansas and see Big Brutus in West Mineral. It is the world’s largest electric shovel!
incredible find thanks for sharing
Great find!! ✌
Good one. Thanks.
Dude that is a beast!! I had no idea that any machinery was that huge. It’s practically a building.
Awesome, love it !!!
I just rewatched your Big Brutus video yesterday. (One of my favourites) So this doesn't look so huge in comparison. Still cool though.
Sad how the low lifes couldn't help themselves and had to destroy the control panels and windows.
I don't trust the timeline of the satellite pictures on that website.
Someone seriously has to restore that... it does not look like its in that bad of a condition. With a little work you could probably get it running again relatively easily since it isn't completely wrecked. I bet you could buy it off of whoever owns it for a pretty cheap price too. Beautiful machine.
Look out for ticks.
Great video!
That's one magnificent piece of equipment!
Great video Chris!
Cool find
Very cool video.
Impressive find!
I wish you would take someone with you on these travels. Theres a lot of weird crap happening out in the woods. God bless you brother.
Journey with Jay was with me. I don't have to run fast, I only have to run faster than him!
@@MobileInstinct hahaha that ain't hard to do
Uh? Did you see the other guy? Lime the 2nd man, person, human, in the video. Lime the person in all the shots, and scenes, you know, the other guy, climbing in and out and under, on top? Did you notice Mobil Imstinct talking to another guy, the whole time, the other person, like the 2nd person, like, his friend or accomplice, or partner, you know the 2nd human being, the other guy with the 2 legs, climbing and talking to the camera man?
I sure wish the video creator would have someone with him when he does these videos. Like a second guy or something. Wish that would happen.
Epic machinery, great video. would have made my day if you stumbled across a few jawas in there:)
I would sleep in there!
Cool ☕️👍
Diesel Brothers her u go one for u guys!!
Hey, love the channel am a long time subscriber.
Is this in PA ?
I'd love to see it.
Oops. I see it's in PA
Bet Diesel Creek can get this bad boy started!! hahaha
That news paper is from the same day I lost my grandpa. Crazy
Wow that definitely is strange
@@MobileInstinct yes it is
Where did you lose him?… Supermarket?😢
Great video!
Such an amazing piece of equipment. Thanks for sharing it with us couch tater folk haha
My grandfather owned one it was in Utaville PA up to late 90’s then it went to FL on a barge for a phosphate mine. I work on dredges along the east coast on many 4600 dredges and heavy lift cranes that’s a workhorse and I guarantee it’s owned by someone it can be put back into service with minimal effort. Dredge Michigan Don Jon Marine is a 4600 is an example of one built in the early 60’s still working right now on the Key Bridge.
Draglines are a common sight in Florida where they are used for mucking out swamps (building I-75), dredging out canals or digging up phosphate. The biggest one I've seen was at a lignite mine in Texas and its bucket would hold two pickup trucks. It was used to remove the overburden to get to the coal. It was powered with electricity and if you were working there and damaged a power cable you were fired immediately.
Imagine if it started up or something. Aren’t you guys scared? Well probably not, you’re guys, haha 🙈
*That's big, but where I work they had two that were much bigger. Alcoa in Rockdale Texas had dragline 79 and 80- the buckets were the size of a two-car garage. The most amazing thing about them was that they were electric, they basically had a huge extension cord! No diesel or petrol engines on those!*
Would make for a great restoration project , in your spare time 😉
Cool dragline
It's an old drag bucket, used for strip mining. They get ALOT bigger. Maybe search around Grove City, PA.
It's a Dragline. I worked on a couple equipped with electromagnets in a scrap yard throughout the 80's/90's
Awesome
There's one in Southeastern Kansas. I read one scoop of ore would fill 10 train cars.
I'm guessing the huge drag bucket was used to strip overburden from coal seams so they could mine them out from the surface.
I would love to see one of the "will it start" guys have access to this cool machine.
I have visited Big Brutus in West Mineral Kansas several times. It's the 2nd largest electric coal shovel in the world and came to be in the 60's. It's amazing and you can walk all over inside of it. These huge machines are awesome!! What would that be like to be the operator and see what these monsters can do!
You must not realize how big them things can get😂😂 that's a small/medium sized one
That pretty cool dude 😊
That's a drag line! I used to run that same one
Get in touch with Hamiltonville Farms and see about a will it start
You have to wonder why somebody would just walk away from a very expensive piece of machinery like this. Any idea what they were building with it up there in the woods? Was there a huge open pit nearby?
Were did you guys find that one? Really looks like the one I used to run
That's a small dragline and bucket . North of where I live in Pa. Carbon county there are 3 gigantic dragline machines . One being the Anthracite King
thats alot of scrap metal if someone was so inclined...cool find
What is it doing there ?
Not hating but it's not a shovel, dude! I ran a Lima 4600 Drag Line , 38 years ago looked a lot like this one. Cool find!
I never will understand why people have to vandalize everything they come across.
Chris from NoNonsenseKnowHow or Derek from Vice Grip Garage can get that running!
"IMMEDIATELY" Though to Tony Beets (Gold Rush) and how he would have Loved rehabbing this shovel... May the Old Geezer R.I.P.
Jay, since you're wearing the Jurassic Park t-shirt you could say this shovel was like finding a Flintstone era Dinosaur :)
Amazing that something that large and expensive extremely expensive would be left there to just rot
That would make a great will it start video.
I think that bucket could hold about 15 or 20 yard and it deppend on the user
I see a generator instead of a more modern alternator on one of those engines. That dates the manufacture time to early 1960's or older.
@DieselCreek this is in your home state would be awesome to see it running again.
Show that to Matt from Diesel creek!👍
Vican Deisel Engine. Surprised the boom hasnt fell the cables rust out and fail.
I wish you guys could’ve seen the Big Muskie. At one time it was the largest “walking” dragline ever built.
im a first time watcher your alive wow that looks so cool
That would be an awesome machine for someone to restore back to operating condition
I looked them up, there is still a few around.
Ok, Who's going to do the "Will It Start" vid ?!! 👊😂👍
They can actually be much bigger. In mining industry, size matters.
Need to sell that bad boy to those gold fever boys over in discovery channel.
