😞😥 I want this! I'm stuck running a piece of💩 Volvo 110 😩 no power compared to the old cat 950 . I would go def in no time running this but well worth it.
If someone started using that machine, it sure wouldn't be long before people started coming after them with their shotguns!! That machine at full Rev, will bring the devil out of people. Loud is a understatement!!! Nothing more annoying than screaming Jimmy's, for longer than 5 mins, anyway!!
I love these old JCB vintage videos and the old style machines they built 👍🏻 one thing I did notice though was that the store guy had more oil and dirt on him that the actual mechanic that was working on the excavator lol 😂
Awesome crawler dragline !!! It’s great to see a big Marion machine still working. When we look at the history of large size earthmovers in the US , Bucyrus Erie and Marion were the top two companies. And the competition between them was fierce. I’m talking about way back in the age of the stripping shovels. Of course Caterpillar was the largest manufacturer of heavy equipment, but they didn’t get involved in the ultra large machines.Thanks for posting this excellent video. Take Care.
The optional engine on this size Mack was the Cummins V-1710 or VT-1710, a V12 diesel, with HP rating very close to that of the DD 16V71N engine. This off highway dump truck is in great condition, most likely one of the last production models of the Mack M75 produced. With the 33 in O.D., 8 cast spoke front wheel, I'm thinking it's an M75, but I'm not certain. It does have the heavier Mack Plani-Drive rear axles, though. The frames were incredible strong and were essentially of a "I" beam cross sectional design, with thick webs and flanges.
Seems unnecessary to raise the sand and dump it every time . Why not just have a small dredge near shore and use dragline to drag across the lake to pull material to dredge to be pumped up to plant
What if we made a dragline that didn’t have the crane and only used winches to drag the material close to shore where a dredge would be pumping it to the plant ?
The 675 was too big for the standards at the time. That was beyond inefficient. The engines ran under constant full load and were still far too weak. From today's perspective, load and carry would be the most unproductive thing of all.
I was a field engineer for Clark during the 675 developement. Just as the last bug was removed from the machine the executives canceled its production. I have learned in the interim that this is normal operation.
Времена, когда о комфорте, эргономике и безопасности труда ещё не думали (вплоть до 70х). На механических экскаваторах (кранах) машинист просто находился в углу кузова-сарая вместе с двигателем и механизмами. За спиной орёт "Детройт" или танковый дизель, под боком вращаются шестерни и канатные барабаны. Перед тобой лес рычагов и орган педалей механического управления, такого, что никакого фитнеса не надо.
My dad owned to 16’s as part of his equipment growing up. Many years later after he sold the business he built a house and rented a Cat track loader to do some site work. As much as he enjoyed operating a dozer one last time all he kept saying was how much faster the 16’s would have gotten the job done. Grant it the Cat was smaller so…. He said he always was impressed with what the 16’s could do. His were older cable models. Steve….
