I actually own one not as big as that one it was steam when built Then at some time was converted to deisal power and the engine is MUCH bigger than a 4bt. its first inspection date is 1909 on a brass tag I found on the undercarrgae. the boom on that one and mine look excatly the smae though I spent hours playing on that thing as a kid it was left in the fifties by a coal mining co. I actually bought a power wagon off the guy that left the shovel just about 2 years ago.
