    the kid in me still finds this stuff neat..and i never have driven anything larger than a riding lawn mower...i do have high regard for the tough job of loggers and the heavy duty equipement..am sure many of us scream restore these..but no idea of cost and logistics...thanks for the video..i watch Skadil is how i found your video..

    Its cool finding old stuff like that. In Actaeon Sound I found two very old trucks in the bush. They had wooden spokes for rims and the old crank at the front to start them. Not too sure what kind they were. Then about ten minute walk up an old trail following some rail road tracks was a fully intact steam donkey. Cool video. Thanks for sharing

    Take a hot battery, some fresh fuel and a can of either and the "bus motor" would run again. The Cummins might need a little more. Really like the old stuff. Hate to see it go to the torch bit it's too far for me to come get it. Keep it up. You're doing a great job! (me)

    Wicked equipment! Love the W9. Always had a soft spot for Boneshaker loaders. I presume they'll be Kia's soon enough. Sad. Forestry should let them rest with dignity. They served for the man. A little respect here.

    you know some of your videos just drive me nuts. I caint stand seeing some of these old rigs in the forest like that and that mister is an old kw, you can tell by the top of the curved rad cover - acchh....makes my stomach turn. Would love to restore an old kw like that one. and that's what drives me nuts - would love to restore something like that - so far away dammit.
    keep up the frustrating (good) videos....you...you...! *Sigh*

      The entire B.C. coast is full of abandoned logging equipment. It’s hugely prohibitive to even get into these places due to cost. A barge move out of here would be $25,000 for a charter for a few days. So the iron sits, unless the govt forces things.

    Good one! Looks like the iron has been there a long time. Barged out a lot of that old stuff way back when... There was a push on by forest service to clean up the junk iron. We moved several thousand tons to scrap from central coast alone to Vancouver.

    • @gangesexcavating

      Thanks Larry, yep BCFS-BCTS wants this old shit gone. And so they should. Nobody should be abandoning stuff like this. Thought you would like this. Just wait for part 2 of this video. This is located at 7km on the Jennis Main.

  • @fasx56
    @fasx56 Před 8 lety +6

    Why did the government of BC move that equipment out of there while it was still in good condition and sell it or the logging company could have auctioned it off early on.?

    • @gangesexcavating
      @gangesexcavating  Před 8 lety +2

      No effort was made by the equipment owners to clean up this mess, which is located in a very remote spot on BC coast. The government also has major helicopter logging plans for this location, and it was internally decided to put the scrap salvage and new log dewater location build in one contract to put the barging into as few moves as possible. Huaskin Lake is a 18-25 hour barge move from Vancouver Island. Hope I answered your comment ok!

      Neat. You get the contract?

    • @gangesexcavating
      @gangesexcavating  Před 10 lety

      No, that's not us. So is it a lock-block construction? Or a long ramp that a wheeled loader drives down to retrieve the wood? I don't understand what structure will be built for a dewatering location.

    • @Spitlebug
      @Spitlebug Před 10 lety

      It'll actually be a really wide and very flared tight face log crib with a Hoe Chucker to pluck the logs out and deck it.
      We previously did a ramp for a Skidder to pull the logs out on another site, but that's too environmentally unfriendly these days.

    Thanks for the tour of the American Heal Boom Line Loader, 672 Detroit, Knee Throttle, Bi Valve Main and Holding, didn't see a Swing/Travel Stick with a Tag Line button on top. I'm thinking 750 American. Looking at the Boom and Snorkel mount it might be a Mantel Boom? Most likely a Young than a Mantel Grapple.
    Can You tell I spent more than a few years of My youth in the late 60's to mid 70's Swinging Line Grapples?

    • @gangesexcavating

      You’ll have to get onto Young Worker equipment training and use them. Not his fault he’s running a 35 year old dozer and he’s 19. Have him mentor under your knowledge and show him. If you’ve never learned how can you be expected to perform.

      Thanks, Albert, I always love seeing your comments over here. Wait until you see part 2 to this video. It`s frankly quite a mess. It should be cleaned up and the owners penalized. Guys like this make the logging industry look bad, and we don`t need any more bad P.R. It kind of pissed me off to see this operation for the first time.
