Default Re: Bucyrus 88-B shovel

Really a great beginning! The company I work for was a Bucyrus-Erie dealer from 1917 until it stopped making the smaller stuff. 88-B was the largest unit we sold, but had a bunch of them in KY and IN, mostly as draglines in the coal fields. Brings back a lot of memories. Cable shovels are cool and you are doing a fine job building this one. Keep up the good work!
