Brownsville - New Arrival - Bay City 65 Shovel - Everything Works!

Bay City 65 Shovel
Everything Works!

Cummins Diesel
Side walls hang by hooks, thus are easily removable. They were removed temporarily so they wouldn't blow away on the freeway haul.
Saturday was digging, Sunday they put on all new cables. The radiator leaks, needs repair, expect it will be done over the winter.
This machine was sitting at the top of a steep hill. The new owner walked it down the hill, with a safety cable connected to a big Diamond T wrecker and an old D8. The video shows a brief clip of it moving up, it's really free.

Such a simple shovel. Looking forward to seeing what progress they made at the next show.

I'm pretty excited about this one.
The owners are local to us.
