All good things must come to an end.

I have run out of exhausted all of my walking dragline material.

Here are the links to the previous posts.
Part 7 - a brochure for newer Bucyrus Erie draglines
Part 6 - Marion 8700, 7900, 7800, 7400, and 7200
Part 5 - Bucyrus Erie 1370W Dragline Brochure
Part 4 - brochure and data sheets for the Bucyrus-Erie 480W
Part 3 - data sheets from the Marion 8000 series
Part 2 - brochure for the Marion 8000 series
Part 1 - a brochure from Page that covers models: 736, 752, and 762


These last three photos show the cycle of life of a machine, being scrapped, as sad as it is to watch. So that it can become the next generation machine.





I hope that you have enjoyed this, I have.

For those who would like to continue this topic, please do so.

It might be because the dragline, wasn't around a power source to boom down. They most likely used explosives to get the boom down.
