  • This circa 1910s Buckeye trencher is believed to be a No. 1 Contractor's Drainage Machine. It was donated by another great Bowling Green museum, the Wood County Historical Society.
  • This interpretive sign tells the story - only through 2016, and much has since been done! - of the Buckeye Model 3 Trench Excavator. Someday it will be restored to resemble this factory photograph.
  • The Trench Excavator is powered by a four-cylinder, high torque and low rpm marine engine, ideal for turning a propeller in the water and moving a bucket line through the ground.
  • The Trench Excavator as it was in 2019. The rear two-thirds of the frame was fabricated by Museum Volunteers using donated angle and channel iron.
  • This small Buckeye 403 trencher was built in 1961. The boom is lowered down the track beneath it to a nearly vertical position to dig manholes and in close quarters.
  • The basic machine for our Bucyrus 20-B stream shovel, less boiler. It was given to us with both a crane boom and shovel front.
  • 1953 Bucyrus-Erie 22B 3/4 cubic yard capacity shovel
  • Road rollers aren't always huge! This 1938 Buffalo Springfield tandem roller probably weighed 5 or 6 tons fully ballasted, and was designed for small areas.
  • This late 1930s Buffalo-Springfield three-wheel roller is equipped with a scarifier for road maintenance. The scarifier breaks up the rutted surface, a grader levels it and the roller compacts it.
  • Built in 1951, the Butler Bin Company Carscoop was designed for industrial usages such as unloading box cars and ship holds. It steers from a two-wheel bogie under the back seat.
