Question about Bucyrus 15B shovel

RCRV ยท 2020-03-22 15:48

Do you know if on the dipper stick with the bucket on the bottom if the in and out motion of the stick through the boom was run by a chain or if it was cable operated? Thanks.

    My 15b has a sprocket for chain drive on it. You have me thinking now,it may have driven a cable drum.Any guys from the Island here have pictures of the 22B shovel at the Forest Museum in Duncan,im sure it will be the same as the 15B. I wish i had a shovel front for mine it would be great for more well wasted time.
