I thought that looked so familiar, I used to live in Eunice NM and did a bunch of exploring on days off when I was bored. loved the wind and sun in the desert there.
Timmy TeaBag yes even Canadian units. I have bought (through the company I worked for) several Canadian unit manufacturers and yes even Canadian units will be damaged if the crank arm comes off
I had a pumper tell me the rods were stacking out so I go by to look at it. turn's out they was a flash flood that eroded that end of the pump jack by 3 ft. He failed to mention that and he left it running as well..
Thought so. Grew up there. Dad pumped for Sinclair at Royalty, then ARCO when they bought out Sinclair. Heck I'm old enough to remember when Royalty had a post office and a cafe.
I also remember the post office and cafe at Royalty. I checked out your channel, if your dad was 83 in 2012 he was about three years younger than my parents. My father owned H & J Garage in Grandfalls.
There are three broken pumpjacks on this well and two other wells on this lease have one broken pumpjack each. As for smaller pumpsjacks you could pickup I cannot help you there.
Poorly designed. Those pumpjacks generate lots of vibration. Use to have to repair them where the vibration would crack the skids. Dingfelder pumpjacks run smooth and takes half the power to run.
We have pumpjacks like this in Canada too. Drive around Southwestern Ontario in the Oil Springs area and take a look at some of the old pj's there. West central Saskatchewan area around Kindersley and Southwestern Manitoba have a lot of old small jacks as well. This old pumpjack isn't too "Happy" anymore unfortunately!

THIS unit needs a lot of love for sure.
Looks like west Texas where I was a pumper for 32 years. I pulled up on many of these! 👍👍👍
John, talk to us! Excellent video quality!
Thank you
I got a suggestion for the owner, it’s called maintenance, look into it. 😜😂😂😂
Well he’s right, it’s definitely broke.
The jack broke the jack broke the jack broke the jack broke
Looks like it had company.
At least the gearbox is Happy
I was thinking it says happy, but the whole set up looks sad
These units are at least 60 years old and more like 70. If the crank arm comes off any unit it will cause extensive damage
Gosh. THAT was so exciting, my little heart is going pit-a-pat . . .
At least the walking beam doesn't look bent.

It looks like the saddle bearing shaft broke. No big deal.
That whole field is infested with grease worms.
What a tiny machine.. I've seen similar, up to 1820s. When the string sticks it's all bad.
Good point that would be a major malfunction for sure. Wonder if newer jacks would have some sort of brake away part so it doesn't self destruct?
She was doing the one armed bandit for a couple strokes jack inspections yearly Hi from Canada cleanest Oilfield in the world
Hola tengo pasión por esos fierros, abrazo desde argentina
Going to need a hip replacement for sure.
That pumper had to had to of heard noises coming from that Unit! This doesn't just happen! Hopefully he was out there everyday, doing his job..
Indeed, this thing was clickity clackin for a while. Those boys need better grease guns too.
Nothing a little Duct tape can't fix.

The ole chain drive Parkersburg.

Looking at all the rust around the top of that crank arm it was telling you i am loose, please tighten me
It wasn't telling me, it is not mine. And apparently nobody else was paying attention.
That'll buff right out.
Judging from the water tank that looks to be Grandfalls Tx.
Yes it is.

John Black Sr. by any chance? I remember him.
Actually Daddy was John Black Jr., I have a different middle name so I am not the third.
Looks like a lot of pumpjack are broke around there. Hey I'm looking for some smaller pumpjacks if anyone knows of any I could pickup. Thanks

What the hell is he saying?
Broke, broke, broke ...
Technician tourette.
Grease worms got to your unit🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Please get a check up from your doctor.
Hey fill that chem while you’re out there too thanks
It can be fixed! Have seen worser then this and they got into service again!
give it a poke see if it's broke
looks more like they have been ripped off for parts..
This looks broken gonna need all the grease in the state to repair it
Buff right out
Weirdo whispers!
What a waste of good use able equipment.
Poorly designed. Those pumpjacks generate lots of vibration. Use to have to repair them where the vibration would crack the skids. Dingfelder pumpjacks run smooth and takes half the power to run.
Those are built so flimsy compared to the ones in Canada
These are small pumpjacks on shallow wells and were not new when installed on this well.
John Black how deep is it?
Timmy TeaBag I am not sure but my guess would be about 2,500 feet.

Geoff Paul in Alberta the pumps are massive same with the new ones in BC
Uhh,Yup. Theyre broke, ain't they 🤓
Not broke but scavengers
😎 acouple of minor adjustments to ownership may be in order ? ...that ain’t working for cocka
easy fix it was not left running long enough to twist itself into a ball
Weezer
You call them "pump jacks". I call them "earth rapists". Good riddance to bad rubbish.
To me they are a nuisance. They are on my land but I do not own the minerals so all I get from them is the mess when something leaks.
Supply and demand Tone, all you have to do is..
Park your car and starve in a cold dark house

earth rapists are the people strip mining the shit for electric car batteries because of the left wing nutjobs pushing their green nonsense
