    There is nothing better on YT than a Scrappy and Matt collaboration.

    Good morning, Sam. I love it when you and Matt team up to resurrect a piece of old iron. I sat in my dad's lap in 1965 in a 22b loading eucs. One of my earliest and fondest memories. I went on to a career as a crane operator and retired last year. Please keep vids like this coming.

    What a beauty, glass and gages intact, runs like a top, no bees nests…that’s a good machine
  • @bigredgreg1
    Sam AND Matt AND Chris… what a trifecta! 👍
  • @stevedibiase728
    Isn't Sam about the happiest most cheerful guy you have ever seen he always has a large smile on his face even when things don't go to plan. He is so knowledgeable of this old stuff we have so few left anymore to work on this old equipment bless him.

    Always a treat to see both Sam and Matt in the same video. You have quite a good crew 😊

    Enjoyed the tech side of the machine. Nice that Chris has it. The 2 machines looked great working in tandem.

    It was cool watching those two old machines working away just like it was yesterday they were shutdown.

    Matt, back in the 70’s (cough cough) my boss always told me, He who dies with the most toys wins. Never regret buying ANOTHER cool toy lol.
  • I love it when my favorite You Tubers collaborate. Well done S.I, D.C. and LD18.
  • I can’t believe how good of shape she’s in. Runs like a champ. And operates so smooth and quickly. Chris got an amazing shovel.
  • @alanfenwick9307
    Greatly enjoyed this one Sam. It struck me that this machine is a great example of commercialism replacing common sense. When you said those clutch wheels(?) were all the same size it just made so much sense, particularly thinking about carrying parts for field repairs . Nowadays the manufactures seem to go out of their way to over complicate things no doubt to feed their own spare parts market. Thank you for sharing. 👍
  • I love how I started watching matt from letsdig18 and now i watch all three because of it
  • @chrisprovan4896
    You got this one in the right hands when Chris said yes to it. Glad when some of the best YT’ers collaborate on these projects!

    2:32 Hello, this is the lockpicking lawyer, and today we have a very heavily rusted Master Lock Model 19. We are going to open it with a bit of soda can...

    Would like to see that shovel restored with a new military paint job on it to preserve the metal so it can be used or viewed for 40 + more years . Awesome video
