A rambling, delirious run through a boneyard that contains a little bit of everything including a WWII era Dragon Wagon! www.dailydieseldose.com for more!
I had an R model for Federal Paper in New Haven they all had roof top a/c units. Not the best but made you feel like a king to have air back then. also dripped water on you as you drove.
As a kid, I lived right next to Hwy 191. One day I hear this roar, and it had kind of a high pitch to it, I get outside and there is this old Diamond Rio conventional with a Low Bow hauling one part of the massive dump bed of a mine haul truck. I thought it was the neatest thing to see an old truck still working. Btw, I am not even yet 35.
I've been a subscriber for awhile now. Always amazed by what you find. Seems like rust doesn't strike your equipment as hard as it does for us on the east coast.
Have ran just about everything shown on this video. Everything in this video is in better shape than what I ran, LOL! Thanks for sharing the boneyard with us.
Wow I just got gothic n lost , thanks guys for your time and heart of gold finding the perfect place to just be awed by the old trucks, new ones that never got much miles , we use to go to old bone yards as kids n it reminds me of the sweetest Times , love that lost Highway to nowhere
There is a small fortune ready to be made from these historical trucks & heavy equipment, even if just in parts and scrap iron/metal. Great video and I too would love to spend time touring the site and be even more amazed! I feel partially saddened seeing all of this amazing equipment just going to waste. It made me reminisce a little on the few years I spent in the late '50s and early '60s operating similar equipment in quarries in my late teens, which I really liked. In those days, all you needed to be hired as an operator/driver was to show that you "had the knack" to run the truck/machine, and a lot of those hired were from farm families. Good memories!
You know you’re getting older when you see the trucks you ran when young in the “boneyards”. Great video thanks for the upload. Now I have to try to find my medication.😁
That KW DART was a treasure and the old PACCAR tank hauler( Pacific) was a treat. That tank hauler had the chain drive rears w/ a big 1099 c.i. Hall - Scott engine for the power.A lot of them were repowered w/ Cummins diesels & made into wreckers & heavy haulers overseas.The whole yard is just a gigan- tic smorgasbord of history. The trucks were especially in- teresting w/ the Brockway's, GMC's, Diamond T and the Diamond-Reo's and other trucks. The Euc's, Cat's, Gradall, and cranes were nice also.
Absolutely Awesome video! It's amazing how seemingly preserved particularly the Brockway concrete mixers are! Except for all the weeds. It looks as if they're ready to hit the road again! And even 2 of the Euclid rock haulers! And that Caterpillar dump truck underneath the loader is indeed frozen in time! You'll definitely have to head back over there in late November! I'm so glad someone got the weeds hacker out to reveal that Diamond T! It actually looks like it can be restored!
Looking at those Euclid's, when I was a kid growing up in Oxford, Mich, we had some very large gravel pits, we lived probably 4-5 miles away, when those Euclid's were on top of the gravel piles you could hear those Detroits at full throttle at our house!!
Ok thanks, no I just meant I wud hate to see such heavily built trucks fall to the torch. I took an old Mack DM 800 coal bucket and put a 5th wheel on it to pull lo-boys because it was so well suited to the job. It’s certainly not fuel efficient or comfortable but she takes the weight in stride. Scientist, thanks again Dr.
I hate seeing all this once great equipment sitting & rusting away. SUZIO Concrete in Meriden Ct. has a boneyard like this up in their quarry. I use to feel blah, when I would pick up stone there, Such a downer. Thanks for the saving of these rucks even if only in a video.
Probably your best find yet. Husky gold mine. There's a place near Nichols right off 86 and I used to see old diamond reo dump trucks still going on the high way about 5 years ago, I think they retired much of them and did see a few on Craigslist for sale. The place is called Lopke if your ever out that way.
Cool video! There's some nice old iron there, although retrofitting those rectangular headlights onto the Brockways and Diamond Reos really takes away from the original character of those old trucks.
Not for nothing,most of that equipment looks like some fresh fuel,batteries,and a little love.they'll could be runners.nice to see this.better than scraping!
It was a WW2 tank transporter. The model was M-26. A huge 6x6 was a Knuckey chain drive rear bogey. It came in an armored cab and a soft skin cab, the remnants of the soft skin is in the video.I t was made by Pacific Car and Foundry.
Another great clip from Diesel dose. I'd say the Euclids had 6-71s I love the shot of the IH Paystar 5000, White 4000 and Autocar 7564 I think I'm correct on these I spent eons reading about ''Overdrive magazine'' and working on trucks. I get depressed when I found out these go to scrap, never to be replaced. Most trucks today look like garbage as far is style is concerned they don't have any. Cheers from Australia.
@@VAHOSS Hope your still with us, Thanks for your reply. Yes I forgot some of those rock trucks were 6-110s. From what I've heard that went real well. Some guys put them in normal highway trucks with a turbo. Some of them had a centrifuge blower.
For some reason the old quarry gravel pit, and concrete owners never got rid of their worn out trucks. They always parked them somewhere on the property. There were two in my area, one had at least 25 L model Mack's, and the other the same amount of White Super Powers. All units were early to late 50s.
That equipment was probably used for the building of I-88 back in the day. There is another cement company up torwards Plattsburgh that has an assload of mixers and shit. I remember my dad telling me it was all used for the building of I-87.
I dont hate these kind of videos...I haaaaaaaaaaate these kind of videos. It just piques my lust/greed/jealousy of not having enough land so I can have all them trucks....*wah...(cry) ...sniff*. I really lust after some them ol' timey Autocars. Thanks for great video but its going to eat a hole in me now. hahaha
I want everything, make a 20 acre theme park out of it for gear heads. I love walking through places like this. I would fire up what ever I could and have a tug of war tournament.
That is one wicked cool video! Why stockpile such old machines? I can't imagine anything newer could use anything for parts off all that old iron. If they aren't going to run them why wouldn't they sell the steel for scrap, there must be a small fortune in metal sitting there. That huge water truck is something, I never saw anything like that! I'd love to walk thru that boneyard and examine all those machines!
people just hoard stuff and price it like gold . they end up dying and the government places eminent domain on the property and all of it gets scrapped
I'm from southern tier New York and about 45 minutes down south in PA there are a bunch of old trucks from a Diamond Rro with 2 stroke Detroit a cancer international transtar to an Autocar dump truck with an NTC300Cummins O have videos on them if you wanted to check them out
@@andrewking9761 I'm not sure exactly what model it is there's nothing really on the truck paperwork wise and all of the badging is barely readable it's just a day can tractor with a 2 stroke Detroit and a 13 speed Fuller Road Ranged trans Damn that's pretty expensive for a truck
Even if those trucks don’t run, I’m sure you can’t get one out and restore it using all the parts trucks lying around. I’m thinking about going and doing that with a Mack Ultraliner, seeing as there’s a few in a boneyard with a few of them not too far from me...
7:42 is that guy yelling in anger or excitement?! “I TOLD YOU IT’S EX-MILITARY!” Oh wait, maybe he’s worried about explosives? There was a property near me that had vehicles piling up in it for decades. Last year I see a scrap guy clearing it out. He said most were rotted out but anything good he was keeping and the rest was being auctioned. Anyway he said a father and son were working on old munitions in the garage in 1976 I think, and one went off and the kid died. Landowner got sued or something. Property is all flat now.
Where is this place? I may have missed that being said or maybe you didn’t say. My neighbor loves those Diamond Rio’s. He’d probably try buying one or two.
Fairly well know company for the area. A buddy of mine called them and asked if we could look around. The graciously opened the gates and basically let us have the run of the place.
Like most of you guys I think it's sad to see so many magnificent old ladies resting up, maybe some will be saved, if ever I win the lottery, I'll ship a few over to France. ..
My question now is...what is going on with this equipment? Is all of it still there, some being sold, can any of it be bought? Got an update? I would love to get my hands on some of those trucks...might take 2 or 3 to make a complete truck, but who knows. 🥰
The AT 64 Autocar with brand new looking grill and front end is begging to be restored. I can't believe someone dumped that in that place to rot. Does it have a engine under the hood like a 3406 B cat or Detroit because that truck is nice.
Love this video but I still don't get it from a business perspective. I love that all this old iron still exists.... brings me back in the day bigtime. What I don't understand is why an entire fleet & support vehicles were made into a boneyard. If the company was still running Brockways, Reo's and those old Cats and kept them for parts that would be one thing. But these literally have no purpose but to sit there. Seems as these were replaced by newer vehicles in the fleet these trucks would have had value on the used market as complete units. That's alot of classic iron and Rex Mixers there. Im sure plenty of people would still buy a couple of them now if they were available..... (of course for restoration and NOT for scrappers)!
Couple hundred thousand dollars worth of scrap metal sitting there when the price goes back up. Would be a chore(and kind of a shame too) to haul off all those old trucks.
Why is it the old concrete and sand and gravel never sold their old equipment? There were two near me that had dozens of old trucks sitting there that were mostly complete. They didn't keep them for parts trucks evidently because just like these they were all there.
It seems to very common with Ready Mix companies to park usable trucks instead of selling them. I believe some of the drums on these trucks were full of concrete too....
Brockway, Autocar & Diamond Reo,, some of the best trucks made.
At the very least, they just look really cool!
Drove all of them they were real trucks..
Donald Bartram hot in the summer, cold in winter and beat ya to death but wouldn’t quit running. I learned in a DM Mack, she was one tough ol’ girl.
little cardboard in he grill worked just fine
I had an R model for Federal Paper in New Haven they all had roof top a/c units. Not the best but made you feel like a king to have air back then. also dripped water on you as you drove.
wow..these ol warriors deserve another long life....thanks so much for this trip in the past of great trucks...
That red autocar with the axle forward is what we used to call an east coast Peterbilt. Love the boneyard videos 👍👍👍
I cut my teeth on old R20, R22 and R25 Euclid trucks. I couldn't count how 671 Detroit engines I've rebuilt. I sure do miss those days.
As a kid, I lived right next to Hwy 191.

You know you’re getting older when you see the trucks you ran when young in the “boneyards”. Great video thanks for the upload. Now I have to try to find my medication.😁
All of your videos are absolutely awesome 👍
Cool video. I like that truck you cleared from the bush, that thing was beefy in itself.
Modified railroad hopper above dump truck, very cool to see. Thanks for the video.
I'm not sure what was coming out of that hopper but it had solidified for sure.
Love looking at all the old iron!😎
Wow thats a Dream to walk and see them. Nice, perfect weekend trip.
My allergies are going crazy just from watching this lol but it was sooo worth it!
And don't forget about the million little bugs that were determined to fly into your eyes every second.

It was the first ten wheeler the company every owned. It has life left in it for sure.
@@Dailydieseldose315 WOW! That's truly amazing! Hopefully that classic work horse will be restored to like New condition again!
I see a lot "senior citizen" trucks that need a good home! Don't let them rot!
Thoes ole d-9 dozers remind me of the d-9 in the movie Killdozer
Wow! that place looks awesome. those last shots at the end with the 769 Cat are badass
Totally was. This past spring the owner sold/scrapped much of this stuff.
incredible. love to have one of them diamond reos

I luv old iron the best trucks on the road no elds ,def . Or other crap.
Such a cool video love it hate to see all that iron sitting
Used to drive a Brockway mixer.
A herd of goats would clean that place up..wish I had the $$ to restore a couple of those.
i would cutting them up and haul them off to the scrap yard.good money out"
Very cool and thumbs up liked.
Great video, I would love to spend a day there! I kinda recognize the name on the side of those trucks...…..
great stuff
Nice video but still makes me sad a little. to see all those sitting.
i would love to come out there with my loader and my cutting torch".i would haul them off to the scrap yard fo that good money".
I see old memories,, all you see is money,, typical greedy AH.
You said Binghampton,,, The Brockway factory was about 30 miles north in Cortland so Brockways were big in that area..
Must have been a good looking fleet when they were new
I use to deliver cardboard in Cortland One of their buildings was the old Brockway factory over by the RR station.
Mixers have heavy frames and suspension along with deep reduction gears

What a treasure trove, would love to have the White 4000, someday it will go to scrap.
Lot of the truck are rare and the 2 rock trucks are extremely rare to find in a shape that little fit can get them running again.
YES I like and YES I enjoy this video.
Great video as always, looks like that company's owner should get the grandkids up there with a couple of weed wackahs lol and go to town..💪😎🐐🐓
We did our part with that one tree. :)
DailyDieselDose lol yah the truck you uncovered looks like it still has potential
The Snowrunner video game has the Paystar and the White 4000 in as playable vehicles. Plus a ton of other school American trucks
Not for nothing,most of that equipment looks like some fresh fuel,batteries,and a little love.they'll could be runners.nice to see this.better than scraping!
It's time to save some beautiful equipment
Waoo nice junkers bro 💪😎
Cool video
The Auto Car, Diamond Rio, and White were my favourites. I spoke too soon, the whole place is a gold mine, but I'm unfamiliar with the truck at 7:46.
