Diggers line complete with the shovel. What´s the next line to complete? That El Camino was clean. If I could have bought it in my country (Sweden ) for that price it be a safe investment.
Considering it's 60 something years old and been sitting out in the weather it's in very clean shape. There's a guy in my area who has a small cable shovel and as a kid every time we'd go by his house it was always sitting in one spot for the longest time and never seemed to move. Because it was always incredibly rusty and it never moved I thought it was abandoned there. But I was told by my father that the guy used it for moving stone and dirt. Just in recent years he cleaned up the main body of it and painted it red. So now it looks like it gets attention and not just being a rusty lawn ornament. :)
Some dingus probably bumped someone with a piece of equipment and the child size orange vests were the quickest and cheapest way to soak up some liability.
I just drove past one of our local Ritchie Bros. sites just this weekend (filed to the brim with treasures no less!) and I said to myself “Man Matt would have a field day out here…” and here we are with another auction video!
@Jnic the auctions look that big, you'd need to buy a side-by-side just to "walk around" we have nothing like this where I live. The size of these auctions blows my mind, here in New Zealand.
@@timfagan816 I saw a video recently may have to find out where, but it actually told the story of Ritchie Brothers auctions. Apparently they only happen like once or twice a year, rest of time is gathering equipment and evaluating :)
Best money (savings) farm auction item I ever won was a vintage set of horse blinders. Every time I map out my travel route and google can't avoid passing by a Richie Bros. auction site, I put those on and I'm golden. The two times I've been pulled over for wearing them, I managed to only get stern warnings.
Christines gonna be jealous, hope your insurance plans include a "jealous haunted grader" clause. The logo on that old caterpillar...its like something you would see on a childs toy. Kinda wholesome really.
Dang Matt! You already have so much going on and now you bought these two 'contraptions'. Cool!! Look forward to the 'getting them home' videos and their restoration ones as well. Keep em' coming Matt!! If you are able to get these running and operating as well as Christine then that will be amazing. Good luck Matt and happy Easter to you and your family.
@@DieselCreek What is the least valuable excavator age? This one appears to have some antique value, so may have been appreciating for some time even as it rusts in the elements, but at what age are both actual work value to contractors and antique value to collectors, both minimal? maybe 50 years? so 1973? Anyway, the age of minimum value is the age at which I am the most interested. With cars it's more like half that, 25 years or 1998, the exact age of my Metro parts runner.
@@DieselCreek And I'm trying to sell my 1983? EX100-1, but in order to buy an RV or moving van from a similar temporal low point, and that price low point is my main interest.
Nice to see the Bucyrus name on a piece of equipment, my home town was home to Bucyrus manufactoring for 50 years as Ruston-Bucyrus( Lincoln, England). The company is long gone from Lincoln!
Fell down the stairs last weekend, still very difficult to move (and pain?) but this auction video makes me wish I had youth (I'm 71) and money (Social security) to buy and rebuild some of these things. Thank you Matthew for a wonderful half hour.
Well done Matt. That shovel looks like it was well looked after, all the tin work looks to be in perfect condition which would be unusual for a machine that old. I’m looking forward to watching you get them home and restoring them and now you’ve got the gear to get them home yourself. Hopefully now the shop is finished we can get back to the videos that got me into your channel in the first place, fixing old machines. Cheers, Stuart 🇦🇺
Matt won't have to remove too much paint. It's almost all gone. I'm a 70 year old retired computer engineer. I'm not sure if I wouldn't have been happier with a sand blasting company. Sand blasting something like that grader is my idea of fun. Yes, I know that's weird.😎
I agree with you about the auction fees! There used to be a time when auction companies took a percentage of the sale. Now the do that plus add 10-15%. Absolutely ridiculous
@@Kenoscope totally agree and in Britain they then add vat tax at 20% despite the fact that its too old to have paid tax in the first place, or as an end user you couldn't claim the tax back, so you pay tax twice, just for good measure!!☺.
I'm so glad you got a shovel, there's just something about them that I find so bloody cool. I can't wait to see you get it running and looking it's best!
Holy Smoke , That Farm auction was a mind blower , It looks like equipment from so many generations . We should support the small farmers , so many farms shutting down scares me , if it don't scare you , your blind .
What a way to end the weekend. Matt I'm excited to see the videos of you getting these beautiful machines out of where they are and can't wait to see you start taking them apart in the new shop. To say the least I'm more then excited for you. Keep up the great work Matt your the best
It looks like a Ruston busrus Made in England, the factory is only 24 miles away from where I live. They have a archive at Lincoln in Lincolnshire. You can find every think about it from that
Brilliant matt ! These two will make excellent films ! Can't wait , many people would like too see stuff like this being repaired and get going , thanks !
That must be what happened to all those Int'l trucks we sold back to Int'l about a year ago... most of those Penske units will have Cummins 6.7's in 'em.
What a great way to end the day, and thanks for the great videos! Your vids keep me sane while I'm stationed in Japan, they don't have auctions like the states does!
They reason why the Japanese don't have equipment auctions is because they usually dump it overseas. Here in the Philippines, its not unusual to see a Sakai road roller from the early to late '90s... with the original owner's name still emblazoned on its side, or an Isuzu Elf dump truck with, again, the name and address of the original owner on the door panel.
I enjoy the comedy and drama from your visits to the auctions. I can almost smell the grease, wait what grease? It is almost scary being at an auction. You never know when you're going to be the last bidder. but, exciting at the same time. Watching your video is the safest seat in the house. Thanks for the ride.
My son loves them has had a few still owns a 1981 v6 stick last year of stick in a El he actually switched it to a 5sp out of a s10 runs ton better then the old Saginaw 3sp he was planning on switching the v6 also out of the s10 but ended up selling engine
Congrats on the shovel, hope the 212 can be saved Matt. Look forward to seeing these get started ( hopefully) and moved. Thanks for the tag along video sir.
I cannot imagine going to my Richie without looking at the catalog. it would take an entire day to walk up and down every aisle and you’d still miss the good stuff
Matt, if you thought Christine, was crazy and had it in for you before, just wait until you show up with the new edition! 😂 Looking forward to seeing how far you take each project. 🤞🏻, they don’t end up being scrap, or you having to sell individual parts to break even. BOL
If them Penske trucks have 2010-2012 MaxForce engines run for the hills as far away as you can get from them. International just about went tits up over that engine, they started offering Cummins again though and got some of their lost customers back.
I used to build the pettibone speed swings. From 2007 to 2016 I used to work for K&D fabrications Out of Baraga Michigan. We made all the fiberglass components of them.
The only bad thing here is that I suggest you really ought to finish restoring Christine before you so much as start restoring another grader. Get the cab windows in, even if you end up using perspex, & fit the cab out plus whatever else is left to do, maybe sign writing or whatever, because otherwise you'll be looking at a huge list of unfinished projects rotting away... it's just a little bit of self denial required...
Oh Matt, what have you done?!?!?!?!😅🤣😂 Oh, that's right, you are living your dream! Good on ya Buddy. May you continue to be abundantly blessed my friend. So nice to see ya doing what you love. Y"all take care now, ya hear. John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.
Aw too bad you missed the ElCamino Matt.... I had a 64, 250 327 4 speed. It was well used with a couple of engines and over 350,000 hard miles I used to play hard n used it on the farm too. Happy Easter yo you n yer family.
Never start reading the comments before the video is over. Someone is sure to give away the surprise. I knew before you got out of your jeep the motor grader and cable shovel were coming back to the farm.
Great find the 1942 Cat 212 with the 35hp D3400 🤗🤗🤗 the 1950 Bucyrus Erie with the Cat D318 has 100hp🤗🤗🤗 Come on by to watch my cold weather starting procedure for the D318 in my 1954 Cat No12 Motor Grader ...... just giggle 8T Cold Start at 0°F & debriefing
My condolences go out to your shoulder, elbows and wrists with the grader. Ran one for 5 yrs in Montana as a ranch hand. Those controls are going to torture you. I miss it.

restore that grader like the other one you’ll have a dream fleet of equipment if you start restoring them

Imagine that shovel on the back of a vintage lowboy being pulled by your older Autocar....what a great combo to take to shows.
Diesel creek auction video has to be my favorite
I’m an RB inspector, I know that yard well! It’s crazy the amount of Penske trucks have went to auction nationwide lately lol
I live in Erie and I remember the Bucyrus Erie shovels lined up on the west side of the plant after final assembly. That was early to mid 1960's.
Seems like the bunny left us something sweet. Thanks Matt!
Just gotta love those spec cat tires on the front, got those out of the recycle pile behind the tire store
that electric yellow cart is exactly what Austin Powers gets stuck turning around in the tunnel hahahaha

7:47 that is an M818 Truck Tractor, I drove one during Desert Storm, a heavily underrated 5-Ton truck.
No that one was home built from an M35, not nearly as heavy as your talking about. If it was an M818 I’d have bought it
youre dropping 10k on non running cable shovels... and you need me to help you financially?! wild
