Awesome video, brings back some good memories. I ran the 88B out at the old Cowels gravel pit in Kewanna In. that IMI bought. Long hours of back and forth but so interesting and fun to operate, not so much when having to work on it though.
Slinging it. Ran a 22 and a 30 but mostly 22 sized stuff. Ponds mostly. Most had GM's but one had a UD. Good digging rigs. Keep Frank out of jail if possible.
This one doesn't have independent boom hoist. On the console to the left there is an air valve that switches between swing, travel and boom. The same lever runs all of them and the swing clutches is what power all of them
@@be2570w , understood. But it must have been an option the 88B though because I'm positive that the one I ran had an independent boom lever like the 30B did. I think.
@@scottmcquarrie7295 It was absolutely an option. Most of those older machines were like that, because they might have been bought for hook work or digging. A guy that never planned on using it as a crane could save some money by ordering it without the independent boom. I have several small Insleys, and some of them have independent boom and some don't.
@@be2570w , now that makes sense. But I think you would definitely be better off having that option so you could do hook crane work if need be. My bosses had the option and I remember them setting forms and pouring concrete with it at Nyack hospital and Hackensack hospital too. I ran it with a 4 ton wrecking ball and a magnet. I also own a 1000C Insley Excavator. 4-71T Detroit powered.
You had a good teacher, good operator

get ahead of them so you can hit a few more shows this year
I'm pretty sure the 88B I ran had a boom hoist lever control. Mine had a Detroit in it too. Where's the boom control for this machine.

Its air control, you don't see me stepping on the brakes because they don't move very far. If you look close you can see it.
