Bucyrus Erie 30-B clamshell bucket located in the brush, craned it out and got it back to shop 

I went for a walk down that access road and found the clamshell bucket in the brush. when bossman bought the machine last year he was told there was one for it but we didn't know where or see it anywhere, we'll the main issue is the fella that owned the machine passed around the beginning of year, so anything we needed to know about it we are on our own now. I had them order a vintage operator's manual we found online so I could study the lubrication points and main controls. some things are similar between the 30-B and manitowoc but not the same.
