I got in a YouTube trap once and found myself watching old shovels work. The gentleman featured in the video rescues old shovels and draglines. He attended an event or held an event for older equipment. It was held at a large property and people were using their old equipment. Old crawlers and dozers pushing dirt and shovels digging. I spent hours on this video trap. Its very cool to see them work.

cool! howdy neighbor. I'd like to see it run some time. Just walk it over to one of the piles and lift up some of the loose material.

If anybody is looking for a shovel front for a 15B, I have an 87 year old friend near me that has a brand new, never been mounted, one for $1,500.00. Yes, it is as it came from the factory except for some patena in the paint.

Definitely a possibility! Share your handle and or a link and I will check it out if I haven't already. I have a weird thing for old equipment and trucks.
