Came off a Northwest 25D dragline I used to have. 1 yard bucket. Probably weighs 100# as it was on the counterweight. Wakeausa gas engine.
Dynamite supplier gave me the fire
plug.

What year Street Glide??????I've got his parts but they're all attached to my street glide I'm considering selling...
That Northwest counterweight sign brings back some memories. I learned to run a Model 25 shovel and the bigger one my Dad had which I think was a model 45? when I was 16. Also ran a D7 Cat and a grader and the big crusher. Just a natural transition into airplanes, I suppose.
You jogged my memory Cecil. That piece is off a 25D.
I have heard about a lot of them signs just falling off over the years. Someone is going to get hurt and sue one of these days.

are you insinuating I have less than pure moral values...
That sure is a beautiful car, but I think that you paid too much for it. It cost less than $3000 when it was new, and 5 years later was worth half of that. If we had only kept all those beautiful cars that we owned in our youth today we would have all have fantastic collections. Enjoy the ride..
What year was that Cecil?
A 10-B Bucycrus 3/8 yard clamshell is the first cable machine I operated. Later on we had a 22-B. Used it with a headache ball to break boulders. When I became the last guy that could operate it, I sold it.....
What if we don't have such a small motor? Can we still park there? LOL!
I think it was about 1958.
Phil has been working hard protecting us from all those dangerous signs by removing them before they can hurt somebody. Those 409 signs are especially dangerous. Phil is my hero.I have heard about a lot of them signs just falling off over the years. Someone is going to get hurt and sue one of these days.
Here are a couple more signs I have and both have a story. Phil's BBQ was a landmark in South County for as long as I can remember, it was originally Jack & Phil's but the 2 brothers split up in about the mid 70's. Phil had health problems and closed the business at the end of 2018. This sign hung at his business on Gravois Rd (Highway 30) for many years, we would go there often for BBQ. The second sign was from my dads automotive shop and hung at the back as a night light for ever. I remember this sign hanging there since I was about 10 years old, I think this sign dates back to the late 50's. The glass front is like a glass panel on a pinball machine with all the lettering on the back side of the glass.
I learned how to operate the 10-B 58 years ago. Dad had a couple old GMC single axle dump trucks I learned to drive before that. No brakes but you never got out of second gear. Later on he got a Ford with the flathead, was really noisy with the exhaust coming out of the manifold.
