My Ole man owned one of these in the sand pit behind our home. This was my jungle gym until MSHA was a thing! Good times!
It appears well maintained and has good paint.
Nice video as always Justin, just out of interest, is this one of the two machines that has featured in Bennetshovels long walk videos that he has been showing recently.
Yes. That was when the two machines were purchased by their new/current owner and walked to their current home. You can see how much work has been put into them.
awesome documentary!!! wish we could see the cab and electric motors, but cool video!
Is Jack the other machine that was featured in BennetShovels long walk series?
Was that particular dragline built before the end of the war in europe or after the end of the war?
Yep she is. I sure can!
No, that machine was shut down for a tub replacment back in 2010. Unless there's more work for it in the future, Jack may end up being used for parts to keep Jill running
is this near hazleton pa/
She's been very well taken care of
That machine is in amazing shape -- especially for one that's 68 years old! My hat is off to the owners who have kept this unit in such good trim. It takes lots of work -- and paint!
Yes
so the old girl is still in use!!??? thats awsome they still use it
I'm sorry I can't disclose the location of any of the mines or heavy equipment on my Channel
is "jack" still in use?
Jill looks like a well maintained Girl :) can you get a video of this old girl working ???
Why?
Cool isn't it!
I have no idea
Never have seen it walking
In service? 1945.. WOW!!!
good to see that they are still using the old girl. I guess over the years it has more than payed for its self.
It's called privacy.
No doubt.....I am only 40 years old and I am not even in that good of condition.
Hahaha! If doctors could offer a full body rebuild at a certain age maybe we would be
