Bucyrus Erie 22B Instructional video

This is an instructional video about the Bucyrus Erie 22B. It includes some facts and history about the 22B, and some information about this machine, how it operates and the function of the controls. Note: High-speed clamshell operation allows closing and lifting of the bucket with 1 lever (instead of 2). This leaves you a free hand to swing the boom while the bucket is still going up.

    I never thought I’d be back in the ‘house’ again! In 1961, after a couple years driving a coal trailer, I was hired to drive a 1957 Autocar and lowboy moving equipment. ‘ Artie’ the 22b and 30h operator rode with me to load and unload. Once on the ground he would let me “travel” the machine (in drag hoe config) and play at site. After a few months I was actually working the machine while he was BS’ ing. A year later I finally got my commercial pilots license and a whole new life’s career took off. Cable went away replaced by hydraulic and those machines became just a distant fond memory to me till now. Thank you. BTW: I never forgot the words from Artie: “ Be sure to Borax the brakes and DONT FORGET TO DOG THE HOUSE DOWN! “

    Maximum Hardcore it means use the locking lever to block the cab from swiveling. When you switch from swinging the cab right and left to traveling forward and reverse you use the same control lever. So when traveling you have no way to control the cab from swinging. And the slightest bit of unlevel ground could cause the cab and boom to swing out of control. A very scary mistake. Dogging just meant locking the cab in old timey language. ( being 80 yo some people have the nerve to call me old timey! Lol)

    I drove a few of these on Geo. Cohen demolition sites around the UK, as well as RB38, NCK Rapier, Jones KL44 and a tiny KL15. The drots, CAT 951, 955, and 977's were a welcome break as they had windows and a seat, all the 22's had oil drums with a cushion on. I used a 1 1/4 ton wrecking ball or a magnet for loading the lorries mostly the drivers liked me because I was gentle on their trailers and loaded the scrap (OA Steel girders mostly) in such a way as it didn't jam up when they tipped it. Lovely machine you have there.

    Every cable crane I ran, the bucket closing and bucket hoist were backwards to what you showed. American, FMC, Loraine, Northwest and Bucyrus cranes were all the same. Both levers were closer together, so when I went to stop the hoist with the bucket closed, one hand would stop both levers, while my left stayed on the swing. The boom dog or lock, only kept the boom from drifting down. It was a lot of fun operating except in the winter. Only heat was from the motor. Real cold days, I’d have to open the front window, as my breathing would fog it up.

    Ran a 1933 magnet for a large scrap yard back in the 70's processing #s1, 2, 3, types of metal positioned my crane between the piles so as to load 2 to three trailers with the differen grades at one time. It had an old Continental in line engine with a pony motor to get it started cold. Had to loosen up the injector nuts to prime the cylinders until the fuel was pissin out , then tighten them back down .. the thing was a relic, and a handful when I ran it in the 70's, and the drone, and heat from that engine, along with the constant pressure on your arms and legs to hold up that magnet, then swing, and lower the boom for reach wore me out, at the end of the day! One day the hard ass yard Forman wanted me to finish loading 3 trailers before I could go for a break. It was raining, and he was walking across the yard when my cable drum brake shoes got wet, and wouldn't hold very well. By some quirk of fate he pass by his as the magnet slid down hard in a puddle giving him.a mud bath. The message was recieved, and acknowleged! Don't duck with someone on a piece of heavy machinery!

    Just found this great VLOG and it's brought back memories of the 60s & 70s when I worked for a large UK civil engineering contractor. I drove the Ruston Bucyrus versions of the 10RB, 19RB and my favourite the 22RB. It having the Ruston engine that reached right across the rear of the cab. The controls were the same though, the nick name for cable tracking laying cranes was Navvy's named after the labourers who dug the barging canals by hand. My navvy was employed sinking shafts for the Victoria Line Tube line in London UK. It was also used for general site craneage work and for a while loaded tunnel spoil with a drag line set up, into tipper trucks (dump trucks) for haulage off site. Those drivers had to park in just the right spot otherwise I would waste time jibbing in & out, one driver kept getting it wrong until I dumped a bucket full of wet clay on his truck cab. After my schooling in driving every piece of equipment in the yard, I went underground and learnt to operate the TBM Tunnel Boring Machine and that's where I stayed. Becoming a Senior Inspector of Works and toured the world doing just that, worked on the Sarnia to Port Huron rail tunnel under the St Clair River for Canadian Rail. Retired in 2015 my last project was a subway tunnel in Kuala Lumper Malaysia, so full circle.

    Thank You! Brings back memories. I operated one while in the ND National Guard. It was my favorite big toy, although the payloader was a close second. I never got the hang of a bulldozer (or grader) if you wanted any precision work done. My colleagues came and rescued me from guard duty at summer camp one night to give me a go at a one-time-only shot at placing a pile driver on a piling that was too far in the middle of a creek for a bridge we were putting in. Luckily it worked and I did n't put it in the river from the steep bank. Some enthusiastic summer soldiers provided some counter-weight assistance. The next day, we finally properly built a pad with a dozer for the rest of the piling work.

Back in 1982 i was having driving lessons on how to operate an RB38 Cable shovel with the bucket loading away from you, i seem to remember the swing was controlled by foot pedals on that and the only way to stop it swinging was by knocking the swing in the opposite direction, on my first attempt i managed to knock an old three axle dump truck across the quarry floor! Ah happy memories. With regards from Derbyshire, England.

    They both certainly have their own feel. The hardest part with the drag or clam is controlling the weight that is swinging free on 20-40 feet of wire on 40+ feet of boom. It can get out of sort real fast. I feel the older generation were a tough bunch.

    A VERY good job! I called out to myself the controls as you went through them and surprisingly enough, I got all of them right and it's been a while so I really was surprised! The 22 that we had with a clam on it was set up like yours. I feathered the hoist while closing and then reached across to the closing clutch lever and kicked the hoist out with my arm while pulling the closing line with my hand. Took a little getting used to but it worked. I ran three 22's. One with the Cummins, one with the pony motor Cat and one that had a I.H. TD14 shoe-horned in it. The last one would bury the bucket and have it coming through the mud like a mole! Too strong but it would dig! Thanks for another good one too.

    You can raise and lower the boom with a suspended load. With the 22B it is easy because it has a power down feature which gears the boom directly to the motor, and uses engine compression as well as a brake, to keep the boom from dropping too quickly.

    I very rarely dug over the idlers as most of the work was trenches for service pipes or UK house foundations. Both had to be pulled in line and once the machine was set on the line, I just needed to track back after each pull was completed. To pull cross carriage you would need to get back on line, a real time waster and we were paid on completed yardage. The only time I've worked cross carriage is while trimming an embankment on new roadworks.

I felt I had a natural knack, and rythem, for making her perform almost like a choreographed set of movements. Yes, it was sometimes repetitious, and sometimes it was challenging, but during the course of an 8 hr day, we made the work almost a pleasure. I have always Loved heavy equipmrnt, and the power, and respect it commands. In the wrong hands, it can do a lot of harm to others, and the operator. Always having to be mindful.of the angle of the boom, and controlled swings, and drops of the bucket, or magnet. I worked outside next to the Hudson diversity strong wind gusts that can catch a boom while swinging., and suddenly lift it if it was beyond the safe angle of ratio to the counter weight. I used to stack 40" concrete slabs, and support beams in a field, and load them.on flat bed trucks. I also ran a Grove runner tire job crane there.. that was back when a guy a thought he was 6" tall, and bullit proof!

    Only on the shovel do you dig over the idlers, account the shovel has to keep moving forward to advance in its work. On the dragline and dragshovel, the machine has to back away from its work, so the you would dig over the drive sprockets. In reality, the lower works of the machine always heads in a forward direction (drive sprockets to the rear) as the machine advances in its work.

    I would think so. I know the levers for drag and raise get flipped for clamshell operation if that is what you mean. If you mean reversing the operation of the levers (pulling in to engage instead of pushing), I am not sure if that can be done.

    Our 22b has a 3 cylinder diesel with General Motors stamped on the valve cover. Is this the same as the 371 Detroit? Or completely different?

    The 3 refers to the number of cylinders (remember it's a two stroke diesel) and the 71 is the capacity of each cylinder in cubic inches.

    Yes, center drive shaft is correct. The inside of the lower frame has a large ring gear. A small gear extending from the bottom of the house frame rides inside the ring gear and turns the house.

    It doesn't really hurt anything, but will cause more wear to the clutch and brake bands. Every function of the friction crane is like a manual transmission. You have to slip the clutches and ride the brakes to some degree to keep bucket from falling.

    Hi Jack could use some info on a 22b house lock won't come off any thoughts?

  • @jac5344

    Жыл бұрын

    Wondering is the machine running? If so, if their is any pressure on the lock, it won’t release. You usually have to attempt to swing the machine right or left to get the pressure off the lock. If the machine is not running you would have to use a tractor or loader to try to swing the machine a little bit. If neither is the case, then the linkage for the lock is froze up. From underneath the machine look upwards for the big ring gear inside the lower works to find the house lock. I was able to use a pry bar on my 10B to set the house lock when it wouldn’t engage. Hope this helps.

Will climb under and have a look, was just asking in case it was a well know problem with the 22. My 10B has same house lock as your early 10b video and I have the same bad steering, I'll try to put new material on the brake shoes see if it get better. I got a bunch of lining material and rivets a few years back from a shop in Newark Nj they've been making friction clutch linings for a 100 years, good old fashion stuff with lots of brass which they recommend for these old time machine's as they transfer the heat to the drums very efficiently. Have to look back see if I can find the company name. Thanks for getting back to me so fast hope to stay in touch. Scott
