    Coming from the U S A you would be looking for a Bucyus Erie 22 they were used all over the world as the best machine for all types of construction and they would rot away before you could wear them out

    Everybody here in the US knows all about ancient Bucyrus Erie draglines and stuff. After all, every old mined out sand and gravel pit has one rusting away in the weeds somewhere . . .

    Ah yes, have some pictures from long ago of an iron mine in Utah with a couple rusting away. Joe H

    How it is rigged.? Crane, dragline, front shovel, backhoe.? Long levers or air controls.? How about some photos.? This link is from a few years ago but might still work for a contact - HeavyEquipmentForums Also try Googling "Ruston Bucyrus archives" We affectionately referred to them in the quarrying business back in the day as “Rusty Pie Crusts”…..

    22-B is likely the most popular Bucyrus Erie machine ever made. Ruston Bucyrus and Komatsu Bucyrus also built them under license. I think I read somewhere about 22,000 of them were built. Sorry don't have a serial number list.
