Yeah that was a close call, but it seems like Andrew has learned his lesson, because now he insist about doing maintenance on his equipment before it breaks down, which is quite the opposite his earlier motto: "Why fix it, if it isn't broken!" 😆
Aerosol cable lube. Spray the rope on the drum with boom all the way extended and a 2 part line all the way to the ground. Then Spray it as the cable spools the rest. make a cover for when it sits and snow piles up on it.
@@jmuller86 dig a small pit for pump, put a tarp on ground so that pit is in low corner and pump that water to icb container. You can let it settle or filter later.
Not gonna lie, i would have preferred to see a much more comprehensive ‘going thru’ video. But i know you are in the middle of a house build and you need that crane for lifts NOW. I hope to see a Clark Crane maintenance video once you have time. Engine oil/filter change, hydraulic filter change(the stuff coming out the hoses to the cylinder you capped off was milky lookin), air filter and housing repair, belts check, grease everything, detailed inspection, a good cleaning to make it comfortable to work in and improve appearances, etc. add heat to the stuck linkage within a linkage. It will help free it up. Make it right. Fix the brakes ‘correctly’ like on the telehandler! I’m sure this vid is coming. These types of vids are my most fav! Well done!
If you have AIR BAGS suspension, the dashboard LOAD gauge will tell you the maximum weight on the drivers. An airbag trailer with an optional airbag gauge will tell you the same thing. Many trucker balance a load using these gauges. You can add a kit.
I truly appreciate your sacrifice for our country. My father fought in WWII and was raised with respect for the flag and what it stands for. Take care my friend.
Nice find Jessie, JIC has been around since WW2 so there pretty popular, if the stud in the cap on your master cylinders come out you may be able to compressed air pressurize the system to bleed without pumping the brake pedal, just a thought.
There are two styles of JIC fittings. 45 deg flare and 37 deg flare. Make sure you know which ones you have. 37 deg is mostly for aircraft, but I have seen them in strange places. Seen them both on the same machine.
First time i saw JIC was when i bought a Bobcat backhoe attachment, here in Holland. Theres one agricultural dealership that stocks JIC press couplings, when i blow a hose. I didnt know there were two types 😅
Before use you should safety test it by lifting your big excavator - just a few inches I'd also love to see you pull a tree stump straight out the ground with a choker chain
Another great job, Jesse. I appreciate your transparency about the cost of what you do. You tackle some hard stuff seem to have done the homework and present your calculations well. It will be interesting to see the finished building. Some of us may not see the cost/benefit of your project, but your satisfaction will be you did it your way. And we get to watch.
Jesse you continue to amaze me with your knowledge and skills. Every video is so interesting! My wife of 45 years enjoys watching and comparing my behavior and language to yours, when I attempt repairs. “How come Jesse doesn’t grunt, curse and get mad like you do?” 😂
Those 2 stroke detroits are some of the best sounding motors out there. Especially the 8v71 and 8v92. When trucks have them and they're hauling big weights you don't just hear those motors, you feel them in your chest it's crazy. I would love to hear some cold starts with that crane too, it sounds so nice even just the idle is good.
Jesse, repair videos are your jam. Number 1 repair videos on youtube because you are very competent and your calm demeanor makes them so watchable. That crane purchase was a surprise.
Next time when you are trying to insulate the positive cable. You have kids with means you have inner tubes cut one of the inner tubes up and wrap that around your positive cable. Used to do machine repair. That is how we wired up some of the machines to isolate the wiring.
We had a Clark wheel loader with a 2 stroke diesel and you couldn't be anywhere near it without ear protection if it was off idle. But the dam thing always worked. Other than a few leaks nothing ever broke on that thing.
Hey mate, the GM runaway thing is actually caused by leaking blower seals nothing to do with turbo's, when the blower shaft seals wear out engine oil leaks down into the inlet gallery where the liner skirts have their inlet holes ( you can look in there if you take the side covers off), normally any leakage would drip out of those little tiny drain tubes on each side of the block, now if the oil leakage is too much or those little tubes get blocked the oil accumulation in the gallery which isn't draining to the ground starts to dribble thru the air holes in the skirts and into the pots then a runaway starts as the engine consumes it's own oil, the faster the engine runs the more oil leaks in thru the stuffer box seals and the faster it go's, probably won't explode but it will certainly cook itself. Now the best advice I can give you, mainly because that engine sounds like a pretty good one, starts easy and no smoke too ....... is the 6-53 has wet liners and I can't emphasise how important it is to run anti-freeze with inhibitor not just the normal green shit, here's why .... rust nodules form on the outside of the liners without inhibitor, this causes hot spots which intern glazes spots on internal bore and nukes the motor, take my word for it. Oh and that 53 will run all day at 2600 rpm so give it a handful from time to time so we can hear it, I had one of mine rung out to 3100 rpm which I believe is a military spec limit, didn't do it any harm and sounded amazing.
Its fascinating to se all this. 7 Grand for a 20 ton 90 foot crane seems good value. Not to say the resale value should be more, given the work that has gone into it. All excellent and thanks, this is cracking education for a subject I'll never be involved in, but find very interesting indeed. :)
Wow, amazing work and machine. You live in such beautiful country 😍. Love your videos. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family. 👌
10/30/22. Watched you work battery/brakes & wire rope on yur 'new' Pettibone 720(?). Rotating cab sounds great...what a big machine! Anxious to see you put it to work! Stay safe & carry on!👍👍👍🛠⚙️😊
The glazed parking brake shoes won't grab. They must be ruff. You could ruff them up with sand paper. Better to replace them. The bleeding of the brakes will require a vacuum pump to bleed. Most likely going to have to have the master cylinders rebuilt. God bless
Welding cables have fine strands of copper (and thus more individual strands for the same gauge cable). DC current flows more easily on the surface of the conductor, so having 10,000 little copper stands provides more surface area than 1,000 thicker copper strands. Basically welding wire is the same thickness, but conducts electricity better so it doesn't get as hot.
In a truck that 6V53 used only 2 of the batteries similar to the ones on the fender 900 CCA or1100 CCA each, would start the engine up here in Delaware and Schoharie county year around. 2/0 will be big enough cable if connections remain good. "Kinda brakes" 😁 should be fine for your location for now. The oil also lubes the wire inside where the individual strands rub against each other any time it flexes, it sould be lubed all the time, A detroit 2 stroke blower seals are a very common sorce of engine oil entering the cylinder causing a runaway, it is scary! I have whitnessed it and also running backwards.
Not anymore. They USED to be. Over a MILLION of the 2-stroke Detroits of various models were built by General Motors, but you can't get them in anything brand-new anymore because, as you might have guessed, emissions. When in good tune, they didn't roll coal, but even then, NOx emissions from them were enormous. NOx emissions were what retired them from new equipment in t he 1990's.
I don't want to be "that guy", but the wedge socket at 1:04:55 is wrong and can fail. The tail should not be clamped to the live end of the wire road. It's meant to float.
Slowly charge the big battery. Ninety feet of stick is great on a wheeled crane. Keep the rotation rollers adjusted and lubed and put that thing to work. I forgot to mention about the Crosby clamps. “Never saddle a dead horse”. Best wishes.
I do believe it will do everything that your going to need Jessie.. its a money pit to fix up in good shape to put out on some big job but thing is that they just seem to run forever and not ask for much. With prices of oil products, fluid changes would have to really necessary to ever do them.... just filters and run it till something asks for more attention... Its a good buy at twice the price when you need one tho
Glad to see you put on the wire rope on the winch correctly. C&C Equipment needs to view your video. They loaded up a dozer winch the 'easy' way and it got all snarled.
I made a HOTSHOT truck (mini semi for smaller loads). I used a 250 hp 6V53 Detroit with a 613 -13 speed transmission. I could outrun any of these duallies super duty Ford and Cummins you have out there now. Put it in a GMC 1 ½ ton truck. added a coffin box for a sleeper. Pulled a flatbed on a 5th wheel with air brakes on 15" tires. Had an electric 2 speed axle for low range torque.
Isn’t the wire supposed to go above that one shorter u shaped rebar piece and below the taller one (between them). Seems like that would keep the wire higher off the boom and not rubbing across its entire length
Look at your charts and you will see that you don't need a 2 part line to set those beams, make sure you have good cribbing under your outriggers. looks like a great deal .
Hi Jesse hey on your battery try this 1 cup of sea salt to one cup water mix good and distribute to each cell, and then charge 10 amps or more you will smell the cloride heavey and check acid ph. Worked on my 2006 ram both batteries from new still good! Do not use epsom salts.
Nice buy a little work and your job is ready, good video like how you go into detail and take the time to explain stuff. Well, good luck and I will be watching for the hoist of the beam.🚜
Most major oil companies make a 'slushing' treatment that comes in pails or drums. Tarry like. Does a couple of important things. Won't wash off with rain or snow. Lubricates between the strands (important as wire strands are always stretching and shortening rubbing against one another as they go around the drum and blocks) making the wire last much longer and it protects it from the weather also adding to its lifespan. We used to use a pail with a brush in it to apply or in some cases saturate a rag and lightly hold over the wire to saturate it. Paint it on heavily on the coils on the drum. Really soak it in. Use drop clothes as it sticks to everything and is hard to get off. We always recoated on an annual basis. Works good and is proven as it has been around for many decades.
Greyhound MC-9 buses used a detroit 2 stroke engine. for years. Every bus driver knew how to reset his engine. The buses also had a start trick. Bell and Chimes switch had to be on for the starter to work. Reverse gear on the 4 speeds was shift into 1st, then hit the reverse switch and shift into 2nd gear. You can tell I have driven and repaired a few buses in my day too.
Maybe before you start doing real work with it do a stress test by lifting a heavy item in a controlled area? Where a failure can't do any harm or damage. Just for peace of mind?
Nice addition Jesse. It's a workhorse for sure and I know you will get everything fixed on it in time. You have bigger fish to fry than working on that crane like getting your roof on.... Appreciate the video.
Purpose of three u-blocks is not to add strength but share the pressure so that you don’t need to tighten them so much that you damage the wire coating. You can also beat the coating with hammer :)
You should clean the top of your master cylinder before you open it otherwise your just pushing dirt to your wheel cylinders when you bleed them =damage to your all your cylinders
After you install the block run the cable off the drum on tell you have only 7 to 10 wraps left ,then paint the wire rope red the length of the boom that way you will never run the cable off the drum.
So I’ve got to ask, you bought this to set some beams on your house instead of just renting or hiring one….what are you going to do with it after that? Unless u work it full time seems like it would be a big money pit sitting around
fix the brakes and run the cable through all the pulley... its never one single thing that is the cause of a tragedy. is mistake on top of other mistakes, the more shortcuts you take, you are increasing the risk and change of something going horribly wrong. that being said good video 👍
@@jmuller86 yes, but it was over engineered for 10 fold the amount of safety, the slow speed will increase accuracy even more important when fully extended. Just a big fan, don't want you to have any setbacks that could of been avoided
That's what I was thinking!! You would need to stabilize on a swing!! Great video. And thanks for your frank talk on the troubles with the Brakes!! All the best from Surrey BC Canada
Hey Jesse, Great vid! but 1:04:55 you are doing it wrong. (The guy who sold you the crane had it wrong from the start.) The "wedge socket" is not meant to work that way. Don't use the cable clamps over both wire ropes. It only goes on the dead end of the wire rope not both the live and dead ends. The Wedge socket works by squeezing down when load is applied. It cant squeeze with both lines are tied together.
so the clamps just go on the dead end of it? why would that be? doesnt make much sense to me. so the clamps are only there in case of emergency? I will have to look into this, I dont want it rigged up wrong
@@jmuller86 Yes, the clamps actually do nothing in this situation. All they do is stop the dead end from feeding back through if you were to hit the wedge by accident. Most of the time the dead end is folded on to itself then clamps off.
@@caribbeanequipmenttraders238 ok thats easy enough to change. it makes a little more sense now. without someone saying it, it sounds like a crazy thing that would not work but if that is how it's done then I will change it
I was worried at first, that the failing/unrepairable brakes would be a show stopper. But you got them semi-workable for your project. I am now excitedly waiting to see it lift the main heavy steel I-Beam for your roof. Too bad the Pettibone crane wouldn't work to set the roof beam. I suppose it doesnt pay to sell it, since you mostly got it for free, and who knows how much/little its worth? Good luck!
Didn't he do a shit ton of work on it fixing the cylinders, brakes and a lot of other items (or has my old memory confused it with something else)? 🤷♂ [EDIT] Yes the memory did confuse it with something else and now I forgotten the name of the damn machine but I did remember the nice cage he bought to use it for working from.
Awesome deal I think you got a steal! The positive battery cable you spliced looks like it was rubbing on the cover support. Not sure if you know or not but if you change the oil use straight 40 weight not multi viscosity in that two-stroke - I have no idea why you can't use multi viscosity but the three people I know with two strokes all say the same thing.
Brand new here. When I first loaded this up it was on mute while I was cooking dinner. I thought 1000% it was Andrew Camarata. Made it 35 minutes in before I realized it was not. Instantly subscribed.
@@jacksonbennett6151 My company's only got one Detroit tug left now. 2nd to last one just got swapped out for crappy electronic john Deeres. Still got a bunch of Detroit barge winches and some bucyrus Erie's.
Positive cable splice is an aluminum block with copper cable put in it. THAT IS A NO NO! Your connection will fail and not last. never mix aluminum and copper .... but there are cases where a corrosion preventive grease is applied to the connection. I use pieces of COPPER TUBING pieces with the ends slightly flared to allow insert of cable being easier. Then the copper is crimped. (No crimper ....a blunt cold chisel and a drill hole in a steel block that is cut in have so you have a gouged channel in which to lay the capper connection. Then hitting the chisel against the connection to crimp it. ....I fixed hundred of welding cables in the shipyard where cable were damaged by dropped steel and etc. For logs, ....I just hammered the end and drilled a hole as needed. ). Soldering is optional.
Everyone knows from Andrew, cranes without braked and hills don’t play well with each other.
Yeah that was a close call, but it seems like Andrew has learned his lesson, because now he insist about doing maintenance on his equipment before it breaks down, which is quite the opposite his earlier motto: "Why fix it, if it isn't broken!" 😆
Yup, I stopped watching the dope.
Yeah that was serious!
I watched that. Also trying to get it fixed. Isnt that the pettybone jesse was using before this?

Well done Mr Muller, that is one good buy Hope it will serve you well.
Great Job.
I've seen people grease that cable, or metal rope.... It's a mess, but well worth it....
Aerosol cable lube. Spray the rope on the drum with boom all the way extended and a 2 part line all the way to the ground. Then Spray it as the cable spools the rest. make a cover for when it sits and snow piles up on it.
As always great information ! A+ Video!
😊
My first repair is always to pressure wash the thing. Much easier to find leaks and just less miserable work conditions.
I didnt want to get gallons of oil and grease everywhere , I dont have a way to contain it
@@jmuller86 dig a small pit for pump, put a tarp on ground so that pit is in low corner and pump that water to icb container. You can let it settle or filter later.
@@tujuprojects A really great idea
My experience, sometime degreasing before working only washes the dust off the grease making it worse.
Claw hammer wins again! Love the buy and fix videos Jesse! Keep up the good work brother.
Not gonna lie, i would have preferred to see a much more comprehensive ‘going thru’ video. But i know you are in the middle of a house build and you need that crane for lifts NOW. I hope to see a Clark Crane maintenance video once you have time. Engine oil/filter change, hydraulic filter change(the stuff coming out the hoses to the cylinder you capped off was milky lookin), air filter and housing repair, belts check, grease everything, detailed inspection, a good cleaning to make it comfortable to work in and improve appearances, etc. add heat to the stuck linkage within a linkage. It will help free it up. Make it right. Fix the brakes ‘correctly’ like on the telehandler! I’m sure this vid is coming. These types of vids are my most fav! Well done!

Nice find Jessie, JIC has been around since WW2 so there pretty popular, if the stud in the cap on your master cylinders come out you may be able to compressed air pressurize the system to bleed without pumping the brake pedal, just a thought.
They've been in use since 1918. The steel lines had JIC flared connections.
There are two styles of JIC fittings. 45 deg flare and 37 deg flare. Make sure you know which ones you have. 37 deg is mostly for aircraft, but I have seen them in strange places. Seen them both on the same machine.

Purpose of three u-blocks is not to add strength but share the pressure so that you don’t need to tighten them so much that you damage the wire coating. You can also beat the coating with hammer :)
put some no nox in the block ur going from alum to copper
I will re visit that and do it, I want to put the proper heat shrink on it anyways
You should clean the top of your master cylinder before you open it otherwise your just pushing dirt to your wheel cylinders when you bleed them =damage to your all your cylinders
yea I saw that after I went through the video. I was contorted into position when doing it so I didn't pay as much attention as I should have
And leave the top of the master cylinder cover loose when your bleeding
Best of luck with your new crane. thanks for sharing your video.
jesse j’aimerais bien comprendre c’est quoi cet histoire avec ANDREW et la grue a la quel il est fait allusion dans les commentaires
Maybe you should paint those caps different colors to make reassembly easier
After you install the block run the cable off the drum on tell you have only 7 to 10 wraps left ,then paint the wire rope red the length of the boom that way you will never run the cable off the drum.
good idea
So I’ve got to ask, you bought this to set some beams on your house instead of just renting or hiring one….what are you going to do with it after that? Unless u work it full time seems like it would be a big money pit sitting around
I have other projects coming up for it, but also need it to pour all the concrete on my roof...which in itself would pay for itself
fix the brakes and run the cable through all the pulley... its never one single thing that is the cause of a tragedy. is mistake on top of other mistakes, the more shortcuts you take, you are increasing the risk and change of something going horribly wrong. that being said good video 👍
what you mean run it through all the pulleys? it would be crazy slow if I did that and it would use alot more cable
@@jmuller86 yes, but it was over engineered for 10 fold the amount of safety, the slow speed will increase accuracy even more important when fully extended. Just a big fan, don't want you to have any setbacks that could of been avoided
another pulley wrap would stop twisting so much.
The amount of pulley wraps have nothing to do with taking a shortcut.
@@nathanlee1154 what is the shortcut, the brakes? they work good as long as you are not on a big hill. but I will try to get them better
Are the outriggers extendable on this rig Jesse? If not, be careful when you're swung sideways.
That's what I was thinking!!
You would need to stabilize on a swing!! Great video. And thanks for your frank talk on the troubles with the Brakes!!
All the best from Surrey BC Canada
yes they are extendable
@@jmuller86 That's super!! And I saw there were lock pins on the stabilizers so you don't need to load your hydraulics all the time!!
It's a good thing you live near such a busy highway. It makes things go smoother.
ammmmuuuuurica!
that's the flag of a non fr-ee co-untry they hang it up-side down in s-hame
Nice truck that delivered the crane.
Thanks for the upload.
Jesse you have to turn it at least 2, that is to stabilize the pulley system.
It seems to me that welding cable has a heavier jacket than ordinary battery cable.
Hey Jesse, Great vid! but 1:04:55 you are doing it wrong. (The guy who sold you the crane had it wrong from the start.) The "wedge socket" is not meant to work that way. Don't use the cable clamps over both wire ropes. It only goes on the dead end of the wire rope not both the live and dead ends. The Wedge socket works by squeezing down when load is applied. It cant squeeze with both lines are tied together.
This guy is right.
so the clamps just go on the dead end of it? why would that be? doesnt make much sense to me. so the clamps are only there in case of emergency? I will have to look into this, I dont want it rigged up wrong
@@jmuller86 Yes, the clamps actually do nothing in this situation. All they do is stop the dead end from feeding back through if you were to hit the wedge by accident. Most of the time the dead end is folded on to itself then clamps off.
@@caribbeanequipmenttraders238 ok thats easy enough to change. it makes a little more sense now. without someone saying it, it sounds like a crazy thing that would not work but if that is how it's done then I will change it
@@jmuller86 and when using the clamps always remember the saying... "Never saddle a dead horse!"
Love the red white and blue at the end! WWG1WGA!
I was worried at first, that the failing/unrepairable brakes would be a show stopper. But you got them semi-workable for your project.
I am now excitedly waiting to see it lift the main heavy steel I-Beam for your roof.
Too bad the Pettibone crane wouldn't work to set the roof beam. I suppose it doesnt pay to sell it, since you mostly got it for free, and who knows how much/little its worth? Good luck!
Didn't he do a shit ton of work on it fixing the cylinders, brakes and a lot of other items (or has my old memory confused it with something else)? 🤷♂
[EDIT] Yes the memory did confuse it with something else and now I forgotten the name of the damn machine but I did remember the nice cage he bought to use it for working from.
Awesome deal I think you got a steal! The positive battery cable you spliced looks like it was rubbing on the cover support. Not sure if you know or not but if you change the oil use straight 40 weight not multi viscosity in that two-stroke - I have no idea why you can't use multi viscosity but the three people I know with two strokes all say the same thing.
ok thats good to know thanks
After all these machines, all u need is a 10/12 wheeler Dump truck 👍
Brand new here. When I first loaded this up it was on mute while I was cooking dinner. I thought 1000% it was Andrew Camarata. Made it 35 minutes in before I realized it was not. Instantly subscribed.
Yea he has a similar sized crane that we used to put his roof on
@@jmuller86 love it. I only recently discovered Andrew. Thanks for awesome content Jesse!
Are you now fixin to sell the Pettibone?
That Detroit is awesome. Working on the river there's a lot of Detroit powered equipment still in use.
There is at least one Detroit in a tug on Boston Harbor, she sounds strong and can be heard from quite a ways away!
Best sounding diesels in my opinion.
@@jacksonbennett6151 My company's only got one Detroit tug left now. 2nd to last one just got swapped out for crappy electronic john Deeres. Still got a bunch of Detroit barge winches and some bucyrus Erie's.
Hopefully you didn't buy a " money pit " Jesse .
Positive cable splice is an aluminum block with copper cable put in it. THAT IS A NO NO! Your connection will fail and not last. never mix aluminum and copper .... but there are cases where a corrosion preventive grease is applied to the connection. I use pieces of COPPER TUBING pieces with the ends slightly flared to allow insert of cable being easier. Then the copper is crimped. (No crimper ....a blunt cold chisel and a drill hole in a steel block that is cut in have so you have a gouged channel in which to lay the capper connection. Then hitting the chisel against the connection to crimp it. ....I fixed hundred of welding cables in the shipyard where cable were damaged by dropped steel and etc. For logs, ....I just hammered the end and drilled a hole as needed. ). Soldering is optional.
I will revisit that connection and put the grease on there for now, but I will try the copper tube next time
@@jmuller86only way is crimp or rosin solder on battery cables crimp is the best
I just love anything with a Detroit Diesel.
Great work Jesse. That should do what you need it for
Good job mechanican. Love the flag.
Hello. incorrectly stocked the rope on the chain hoists.
