Guys, two items you need. High lift jack and lightbar. One will hopefully keep you from needing the other. But its great you are out there doing this instead of gaming. The set up was full seperation. The top bin was the raw ore and it went to the ball mill then through the tromel. If it fell through it hit the conveyor belt to the roller crusher then up to the shaker table and then to the ore bin for hauling. That machine at the table was the electrical generator. The first cabin was the sleeping quarters the little one with the digging was the kitchen and yes, that was the storage for food. The other building thats barely standing was the dinning area. And also the showers and bathroom were once just to the right and back a little ways. It was a great place to work in its day. My Great uncle worked there before WW2 and after lived in Pennsylvania. But he had pictures of the mine in operation. He drove that GMC dump and was the mechanic. Everyone had a few jobs. He called the dumo the ankle biter. To dump you stood outside and you used the controls in front of the seat. But driving on those roads bounced you around and you would hit your ankles on the levers. He said if he had to go to town in it he'd tie burlap bags to his legs before he left so he could walk when he got to town. And you already know how far away that is. So your Jeep ride wasn't so bad now was it lol. Hes the reson im into mine exploring. The stories he told were amazing. Those guys were some of the toughest and hardest working people you could imagine. All that you saw was brought up in pieces and assembled there. And if they didnt have something they made it. Those guys made preppers look like cub scouts lol And the extra leaf springs are called helper springs. And that was the turn signal the two levers to the right were the split shift transmission levers. So you had a really low range and a standard.

Thank you so much for all the additional information that was very interesting and helpful 🇬🇧🧨⛏🧨

First truck is a 1941-42 International. I used to have a '42. At 19:57, that is a (after market) turn signal control. 3 on the tree shifters were on the right side of the steering column and much stouter. That's what I learned to drive with in 1960 (1948 Studebaker). That's a GMC at 21:17. Chevy's didn't have flathead engines then, GMC's did. I had several 1937-38 GMC's. Your "alternator" is a generator. The GMC appears to have had a power take off: the levers coming out of the floor in front the driver indicate that.

Younger folks are so used to the niceties which come automatically with a modern vehicle they often don't realize that trucks and cars used to be sold downright bare bones. Turn signals were an option or you added aftermarket parts yourself if you wanted them. Heaters were an option and they even sold gasoline heaters for the cab which you had to light and had an open flame, etc. Even headlights and electric starters were often "upgrades" at an extra cost earlier on. Many older trucks had only a single rear brake light on one side, added just to keep it legal. Defroster was almost always an open electric fan pointed at the windshield which you added as an aftermarket part--and you turned it around to point at you as "air conditioning" in the summer.

absolutely !! if I were 30 years younger- I" d be there in a heart beat !!

20:14 turn signal indicator after market, floor shift

You should make your buddy a part of your video... and never be without one out there !!!

Judging by the equipment and the buildings and other things I would say there is a large mine somewhere close by.... Keep up the good explores.

Really interesting mine exploration and video of the area. I go off road at night at times too, but I have multiple LED light bars mounted on my vehicle with backup lights just in case I need them. Also carry a satellite communicator if you don't already have one for emergencies along with a strobe. I also have ham radio communication gear which I find very useful and also use Star Link for internet access. And yes I have extra emergency supplies food, water and gas. But I really like you new jeep--very nice. Thanks for sharing an awesome video. I will looking forward to you next video

That was definitely the signal light you were playing with, the shifter was certainly on the floor of that truck, it goes directly into the transmission

That 'YJ' Jeep is a good, solid basic 4X4. I've been off roading for 50+ years and I've owned about any 4X4 you can name. Honestly, the best money I ever spent and the most helpful upgrade was always a locker installed in the rear diff. It helps so much, off road, and it makes the hard stuff much softer and easier to do and reduces the strain and pounding on your vehicle.

Total fixer upper that cabin.Surprised you couldn't get underground. Clearly, a well established mine site.

Couple things here, first you had said it was mostly worked in the '30s, which I agree it looks like some of the original structures and stuff date back to then, but that cabin clearly was added onto probably in the seventies (brick) so they definitely worked it a long time, I guess that's why there's so much equipment and it's so well developed. Weird that you didn't find more underground activity... Also the first truck that you looked at with the flat deck on it, that is a k-series International, built from '40-'42, I have a '47 KB-5 myself. Great video!👍

i think these guys were hustling shares in this mine. picture show of of equipment, ??? anyway a cool video for sure and thanks for sharing.

I always enjoy tours of cabins and relics. Mine exploration..next time. Thanks!

The two sets of leaf springs, the bottom springs are the standard pack, the top set are what make it a 1 1/2 ton.

Ha Ha 19:57 turn signal :-) The shifter is on the floor. Thanks for the hard work to get us the video! Regards from Ody Slim

That was a neat cabin. Cool to see the equipment

Enjoyed your exploration

Very cool as always I love your adventures for sure!

I wish that cabin was for sale I would buy it for $5,000 clean it up, some paint, put some doors and windows in,some furniture, beds and put in some solar power.😊👍

I think buda was founded in the late 1800s and started out with gas motors and railroad equipment. Later sold to Allis-Chalmers in the 50s.

at 32.17 the air accumulator is a muffler

Awesome video ❤. Always interesting.

I like how everything is hidden under the brush.

Someone was definitely there for the long haul. Probably died and no one found him for years.

This is the first mining cabin I’ve seen on your channel with sewage plumbing…. Notice at 39:00 the sewer pipe in the back running into a septic tank.. (kinda curious if that was ever emptied.. lol)

Good video. Cool old equipment.

always very good videos

1st truck appears to be 40s International Harvester KB6 or KB8 truck. 2nd one 30s or 40s GMC or Chevy.

Yep! It's a 1937/38 GMC. That flathead is actually a Oldsmobile 230 engine. It was very common for GMC to use Oldsmobile or Buick engines in the prewar era. They used Pontiac engines post-war, as well, if memory serves.

As long as you got Jesus that devil can’t touch you

Thanks for posting!

That was a whole mill setup with a shaker table ball mill and conveyors move material up lol and that probably was a leaching tank at the end but the truck that was a turn signal you touched the transmission shifter it wasn't a 3 on the tree keep getting out there thanks for sharing heavy pans brother

Clean yj 😎👌

Wish you has taken a close up shot of the operating instructions on that piece of equipment so we could have read them. Seldom see stuff like that on such good shape.

The two sets of leaf springs are the bottom springs are the standard pack, the top set are what make it a 1 1/2 ton.

I believe that truck has snowplow, one time and that device you thought was a shifters. Actually, the aftermarket turn signal switch and it is a floor shifter just FYI good find

The lever that that you were moving on the steering column on that truck is actually the directional switch the shift lever was over in the middle where they usually are and it was shift on the column it would be on the right hand side of the column

Hope y’all are staying safe out there. At 19:42, you were touching the Gear Shift Lever on the transmission. 20:05, that is a Turn Signal Indicator Switch. 21:39, a Flat Head Six Cylinder Inline Motor. 21:48, that is actually called a Generator. The Alternator started being used in 1960. Ford mainly started using them in 1964 but there were a few exceptions. 41:57, looks like a Belt Buckle without the Pin for putting in Leather Hole. Definitely not a Nut because there are no Screw Threads inside of it! PS: back in the 30’s & 40’s no such descriptions as 3-On-The-Tree (think Old-School)!!!

Tires today, last about 2-5 years max, before they are cracked and dry rotted.

Nothing like open diffs when you need lockers

Get a set if tire deflators. You screw them in then just drive

next time you're stuck in a rut like that with a wheel off the ground, have your buddy balance on it and try and force the entire jeep to teeter totter that wheel in the rut up, then push rocks under it.

Maybe go in the daylight? Invest in a winch and jack.

it's quite amazing you getting out to these mines in the middle of nowhere, but do you consider your escape routes, as in, what do you do if this or that happens, i have many years experience off-roading, and there have been the odd instances when i have been alone, which is of course is when the proverbial hits the fan - and i have a couple of times done exactly what you did, drive into a ditch, thankfully nothing worse, but as the saying goes, everything in the US is much larger, true - one of the first rules in off-roading is to never venture too far with out a friend, that is another vehicle, to tow you out when needed, take precautions such as a high lift jack, or an air bag inflated from the exhaust, chains and ropes, snatch recovery rope, obviously these days you need a phone, and phone service - driving at night definitely requires more caution, you just learnt that, a minor lapse in concentration or distraction can lead to mishaps and worse, but we humans take these things in our stride, be wise my friend and not another statistic, and if you can, do an off-road course, it will be well worth your while, PS a tip from me, at all times keep thumbs on the outside of the wheel, if the wheel spins it will bite hard, and that's a nasty injury to bare you mentioned a windless, something i associate with winches on boats to haul up anchors, i know, or at least thought this might be a brand name, but i wonder where it comes from, why are they called a windless, is it just purely a brand name? someone might know has to be said, some of these mines creep me out, probably more from watching rather than being there in person, i always had a bit of adventure in me in my younger days, i don't think it dies, but other priorities of life take over

@straybullitt

While boat trailer winches are typically geared, a windlass often associated with a mine is really just a simple version of a winch. It consists of a drum with a crank attached to it, and a rope wrapped around the drum. They work much like a water well that you would see in old western movies, with someone cranking up a bucket full of water. They were used mostly during the early exploratory/development phase of a mining operation. If large amounts of material needed to be removed, mechanical winches or hoists would usually replace the hand-powered windlass.

Ask a Search and Rescue worker to hear how often people rely on cell phones thinking that will save them. But they rarely get a signal off road like this, so you better let people know where you're going and when you will return, carry a topo map and signal mirror and good sturdy souls on boots to hike back many miles on rocks. Lack of water takes many who get stranded.

Is your jeep running real bad or is it my speakers? Sounds like it intermittently shuts off and has a bad miss at idle😳

lot of peoples seeing dogmans out that way yall better be careful

ant yall afraid of the monsters in the desert at night time ,i hope you had some protection with you incase one of those monsters shows up

Looks almost like a shaker table

That rut was looking a lot less worse about 10 months ago, if that's the same spot toward the end of the trail there. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y4aG1qmkaNKdY6g.html Those winter rains and summer tropical storm really tore up that area. We were up the other end of Indian Wells Canyon a few months ago and there was a similar rut we ended up filling in so as to avoid that predicament. Glad your machine was able to back out easily enough. kzread.info/dash/bejne/e42GlZmhqKyzm84.html

Turn signal not a shifter

Looks like somebody or some people went broke and then just walked away from the whole operation. I wonder if the mine was ever profitable at all. Or maybe it was a potemken mining operation used to impress investors.

If you are going to do this you need to be prepared! Get Some recovery equipment NOW!

Definitely some bad vibes in that cabin yikes!
