I love how quiet steam machines are.

Interesting how much quieter they are compared to gas or diesel.

Until the boiler exploded

No matter how slow that looks today its a far cry from hand shoveling it in a horse wagon with boards that were loose on floor. My step dad used to talk about that moving floor boards to let gravel spread on ground then take a shovel and level it out

Kinda takes the meaning out of today's vapor lock. From what I was told people were smiling ear to ear operating that new equipment. Most were happy to have a job. Operating that stuff was like the 60's & early 70's muscle cars. Now we see them as Historic. So very few of the solid fuel machines left.

Cool old iron! I like what you asked about the old truck drivers. My Dad use to say that there was only 2 things wrong with truck drivers. “Too much time on their hands to think and nothing to think with”!

@Alvaro Higino I dunno, I've stood next to steam at working engine shows, and have several thousand hours operating diesels. The modern diesels are far quieter than steam & the older diesels are honestly quite simular

That's good to see the Mann steam waggon and the Marion steam shovel working together, I live quite close to where the Mann waggon was made (110 years ago) I can't say I remember them!

I chuckled when the bucket dumps, everything falls out and the truck doesn't wiggle. I guess with no suspension, it just doesn't drop down or move at all.

It does have a leaf spring suspension in the back. But doesn't seem to do much.😂

Imagine as a contractor back in the day showing up with these two machines! You would be looking pretty good, especially as the other guy had a horse, a leather bucket and a shovel to move the dirt.

Respect to perdons who have conceived this useful machines and respect to persons who permit that these nice steam mechanics continue to live and be known by the future generations.

Thank you for such a wonderfully informative video! One thing that hasn't improved is how quiet the workplace could be!

That is some history there that’s for sure 👌

Absolutely awesome. The lack of suspension.....I could go on with stories like everyone else. I’ll just say, Another reason to respect our Elders. Happy New Year!

Magnificent! Here's to the power of steam 🍺🤠

A lot of passion together and nice savoir faire. Nice mechanic. The result is impressionnant.

Is it just me who feels like I'm living at the wrong time?👏👏👏👏

nice restored equipment. i just picked up an insley front shovel, got it running and working on relining a couple clutch bands now

Awesome! I'm going to stop bad mouthing the old John Deer loader at work though. Great video thanks for sharing.

Steve shovels made the greatest engineering accomplishment that humans have done on the planet.The Panama Canal.

Im a modern day excavator operator. That was very cool to watch. From then to now. Gee it's scary

These things are really quiet!

Too cool! I wish I was born in the pioneer days haha

Good to see these running because we will need them when the EMP hits.

if i had this, i would put it to work as much as possible, i really wish i had stuff like this, i would find every opertunity to use it

I like how they're not scared to get em dirty

Love the history. Rough ride though!

That crane is amazing. Nice to see a truck with the steering wheel on the correct side too.....

Awesome builds of art

Iron, Cedar, grease, brass... what doesn't make these badass. If their was ever a gas crisis people would be scrambling to use these machines. Steam power will never go by the wayside.

Thats a great video!!

Jay Leno needs that for his collection.

My dad was a 1912 model!!!(;>) This is some good stuff, Todd!!!(:>)

remarkable !!! happy new year buddy !!

Interesting to see how tech developed thereafter to today’s level.

Rim size and tire height - now we know where this car tuning tendency started. Ah, yes, and the ride looks same as for these new tuned BMWs.

Just viewed, steam truck is really cool!!

Really amazing !!

Can you imagine back then wow amazing

What efficient machines for the time! imagine that this work was done by hand at that time!

Enjoy the video👍, would love to see up close how they work ! Very impressed on, How far we have come in only in a short time .

Great history, good old days.

Thanks, Jake and I too believe this was just a little before your time.Mine tooI think I'd take a Model-6 myself.

Might just be the best video that I have seen in a long time!!👌🏻

This is the technology that dug the Panama Canal. So crude but it was good enough.

What ua couple of wonderments !

Fascinating

armstrong power steering too !

Very cool old technology. The steam could really hurt you if you weren't careful, of course. Boilers could explode sometimes. Still cool to see though☺

Nice video, thanks! Wondering how your Camaro is coming along.

приятное ретро ! как вымершие пейджеры и голубиная почта )

Construction sites were so much quieter back then I bet

Steam shovel loading steam truck Balanced as all things should be

this is sweet

Love it

Because of heir need for fuel and water stops, their range makes electric cars look good. Unless you have a flash boiler like some steam cars, the lead time to get ready to run is lengthy.

How majestic is that the power of steam no real noise the brute strength and notice how when the bucket drops the truck doesn’t even move heck neither does the shovel. I’m sure men bitched back in the day but if you were one of the lucky few working with “state of the art equipment” a hundred years ago you were probably happy you weren’t hand loading an oxen cart.

I will never complain about the tiny boxes on a Morooka again.

It must have been some adrenalin rush running that on the side of a mountain.

It is good to have a steam truck when it is cold outside.

That is amazing them ole boys and girl worked for there days pays

Amazing! The dump truck street legal?😅

Of course truck drivers whined back in those days. They pioneered it, to be passed down thru the generations to crop we have now. Oddly enough, we had from 35 to 60 drivers depending on the times, some for many years, but there was always about 12 that whined. Us guys in the shop knew them as the "dirty dozen"

To empty the tray on the Mann Wagon I am not 100% sure, but other manufactures used a hydraulic ram. The water was used from the water tank. Either the reciprocating pump from the engine or a steam injector would be employed to force the water into the ram.

Those machines literally built our cities

GREAT VIDEO! THES MACHINES ARE QUITE NIMBLE AT THE HANDS OF BOTH OPERATORS!! WHERE IS THIS AT??

This video was really cool to watch, 👍 because i really love old machines and trucks, but these are some really really old machines and trucks so i love this even more, since this truck and that loader are over 100 years old. So this is something that i don't see everyday, but i really wish that i could see it everyday.

I dont get why they didn't put higher side walls on that dump body to hold more materials?

Lol top of the line

This is how the pyramids were built, of course they used more wood than metal back then so those old machines arent around any longer for us to see like these are. Look how many Viking ships are left, same thing happened to all the ancient Egyptian steam construction equipment. 🗿😋

Imagine a company put breaks like that on a piece of equipment today. They say that be way too easy for him to fix. And we need to have a go at least 80 miles per hour. And there's no cup holder for in case of woman wants to drive it. Sorry the computer doesn't know the difference between breaks and breaks

Mike Mulligan and mary anne the steam shovel

Why such a small bed? You could have it as high as the walls and the steam engine wouldn't give a crap, it would pull, especially with that chain drive.

Hilarious!

I am watching this moving picture on my steam tele-phone.

everything is pretty quiet all things considered.

see that black person building America? oh wait thats a steam engine!

It might have helped build America, but that steam wagon/truck, is British. I've never seen one here in the US, Where is this btw?

The steam trucks or lorries where built-in England

Our driver complains about newer trucks, I can't imagine what he'd say about that one.

10 horsepower with 1,000,000 lbs of torque

Wow couldnt have stuck around to film the truck dump its load

Chain drive, solid wheels, NO suspension or padding on the seat...like a mechanical buffalo. End of the day, after driving that...your butt would have callouses...

No quema cuhhh😂😂😂

I'm taking that over an F250 any day of the week
