Wow! This video seems to be taking off! The next step is to get the radiator patched up and run the engine for a while to clean up the valves. Hopefully we can get it firing on all 6 cylinders above idle. Then we have to work on the clutches and controls. More coming soon!
great look forward to see what happens with this big old machine and how controls work if you can unfreeze them see you soon... john.uk...
Maybe this channel can help

I'm not sure but can you braze the hole with a torch?
Or solder it?
@@bubbal2080 Plus there's a guy in the comments with two others
I love to see if you can get it to move on it’s own.
Me too!
So it only engine starts?
even if the seals are shot, i'd like to see one of the cylinders torn down to see if the metal survived well enough to justify a rebuild. if the Insley is a lost cause, Wes is just the guy to find a new home for those cylinders.
@Benaiah Ahmadinejad Stuff this old uses chains, belts, and clutches instead of hydraulics. That's all the junk in teh cab between operator and the engine..
My vote is yes. Continue with the project. I would love to see it tracked out. Seems like a good project. Nice to tinker on and find how everything works. Great videos!
Keep posting and I'll keep watching! Love to see old iron brought back to life!
It is satisfying!
Nice to hear it running now onto making it move and maybe play in the dirt some.
Me too
I remember my dad and uncle had a K12 Insley when I was a kid in late 40s . It had a Cat D311 engine. Im 83.
Totally amazing to see something like this fire up again. I definitely would love to see you work on this more.
Well I'm prepared to milk it for all it's worth!
Okay with me "Milk 'Man". Ran one of these in 70's as a drag line, spooled on the first day.
#metoo 🇺🇸
It was good to see it lurch back to life. I remember hearing machines like that a long time back. It needs a great deal of TLC to ease it out of its retirement. Do not let it die now.
17:51 Awesome! Incredible! Brought tears to my eyes hearing that run.
I’m with these guys, would love to see it move! Maybe start soaking the control leavers in hot oil? 👍🏻
Wes, been watching you a long time and this is by far the most polished video you've put out. I like the workbench bit, and seeing you on camera really gives a face to the voice. Thanks for putting all the time and effort in to making these videos!
That is a huge step for that machine.
Now she's alive !
Next step is a little dagerous, since there are wires on the winches, so if you don't know what you are doing it can be realy "interesting".
Still a lot of work to be done, but in the end it will pay you out.
I realy hope that it will work for you and 73DiamondReo want's to help you with the basic questions.
Looking forward for the next video. (can't wait).
A true craftsman can keep any machine running or make a forgotten machine run again. Any mechanic can get a newer engine to run. But for old forgotten machines it takes a true craftsman. Wish I could be there helping you and learning from you.
Congratulations on your progress. Enjoying the series and looking forward to more.
Thanks for posting.
Great videos. Great subject matter. Please continue with the dragline, we would love to see it track out of there and be complete again.
Wes, just started watching your channel. Don’t know your age or education but you are one of the smartest and logical I’ve seen. Very nice explanations in your work to learn from. My favorite utuber is Andrew Cammerata. Watched since about 75k subs, now near 400k, you will get there my friend, nice variety if videos and no whining for subs and likes. Keep it up and all the best to you. Thank You..Mike
For a non mechanic like myself, it is fascinating watching you fellas work. I love it when these old engines come back to life!!
"Dial back the Sketchiness"
Legendary quote
I’ve been waiting on this one, keep up the good work!! Thanks Wes!
When I was a teenager, I used to set chokers for one of these Insleys that was set up as a small yarder. SOO many memories here.
Time well spent solving problems with the old iron! Great job Wes! Looking forward to the next installment.
Well done!
Loved the comment about when the battery was young and only you and your mum were watching.
Stick to it. Would love to see you moving it!
I'm looking forward to part 3 (and beyond).
Love to see "normal" people fix old stuff, in the forrest with limited supplies and not on a huge budget..Knowledge is power! LOVE IT =D
Well there is certainly no huge budget here!
I love watching this kind of stuff. It is so interesting watching people find old stuff like this and bring it back to life.
Good luck Wes! Would love to see this thing moving, I remember my dad converted Linkbelt crawler cranes from draglines to a lattice boom style lifting crane for the barges.
Can’t wait to see the next episode! Turn on the notifications for this and the only time I’ve done that lol
Same here - never turned on notifications before! Can't wait to see her roll.
My grandfather was president of Insley crane when he was very young, like, 35. Such a neat piece of history!
Keep working on it and posting. When I was 36 years old in 1987, I rescued a 1940’s Hanson 35 dragline. I had to cut a tree out of the boom, rebuild the carburetor and redo all the ignition system. I built a set of ‘drop hammer leads and a 2,000 pound drop hammer and follower for it. My father and son helped me drive steel sea wall with it for 4 years on Lake Huron ( made lots of money with that old $1,200 crane). Eventually you will get all the drums and drives working ( use regular old brake cleaner on the drum’s brake bands ). Good luck .... Gary, sawmillin’ in Michigan
I really like watching you bring these machines back to life!!! THANKS NEW SUB
Me too!
Keep going on this, pretty interesting project! Subbed!
Love seeing these old steel creatures come back to life! Nice work and thanks for saving it
Thank you. Our fathers and grandfathers built our country with machines like that. You made my day!
Very interesting carburettor intricacies, first cast iron carburettor I've seen, never worked on farm or construction equipment of any age.
Great vlog, and thanks for sharing.
This carb weighs more than some small engines!
@@WatchWesWork Indeed, 😀 the starter motor looks undersize for that engine, but I guess being a side valve, with low compression, it does the job.
@@bostedtap8399 Yeah it's kind of puny. But it seems to do the job!
Look at any model A Ford with a 4 cylinder and see an updraft cast iron carb.
@@RichieCat4223 Interesting, I think most of European engines had Brass, then Aluminium-Zinc carburettor bodies. I have seen a Holley car in the US (later only made carburettors) it had a Brass item.
Definitely make this a series. Would love to see this thing driving out of the forest
would love to see this old girl working fully again.
stuff like this is just too awesome to leave rust.
Dude you are awesome, I’m a qualified mechanic who was taught by a guy just like you over 30 years ago, I’m just tinker in my spare time as I fell into corporate work. I love watching what you are up to as it inspires my next tinker project and of course gives me another approach to solutions. Thanks for sharing 😁
Great editing! I wish you would have left the maniacal laughter in at 00:43.
Heh. Next time!
At this point I'm invested. I would at least like to see u move it out of there under its own power. A full restore would be cool af
I'd like to see that too!
This is great. It's nice to see old equipment that seems to want to come back to life.
Super Cool!!! Thanks for chronicling and sharing this adventure!!!
That plunger thing is an enrichener it is an important part of the high speed mixture system. you will have a bad stumble above half speed.
like the accelerator pump in a VW.
Shows ya how they built engines back 20 yrs , a little squirt and it starts lol
20 years? Its a flat 6, try more like 50-80 years. Shit, even my lawn mower has overhead valves these days.
I'd love to see this project move forward! Either way, I love all of your videos Wes! Keep them coming!
I am enjoying watching you bring old junk back to life again. I hope you continue to upload new videos like this one.
Love the vids keep up the great work Wes how's moving into the shop going nearly settled in yet ?
I'm getting there. Slowly.
I saw part one of this series a few days ago I’m just here now because I want to drink beer and avoid replacing the
U-joints on my truck like I’m supposed to be doing right now
Me too ! I need to replace the right front wheel bearing on my car and install 4 new tires but this Lone Star beer is just too good.
I hear that!
Thank you again Wess. I very much enjoyed.
Great start, cranes like that are a labor of love, but it sure felt good to hear her run!!
Second never even been that before either lols 😂
Do you have another channel man because you seriously sound like another youtuber I watch and he says things like “that’s more Leinen kugel‘s than I’m willing to spend”
No. Just this one. Sounds like a good guy though!
Haha!
AvE?
You need to tie butterfly for governor open, it is lever above throttle butterfly or take carb. off and remove butterfly valve off shaft their should be two screws make sure to leave shaft in place or plug holes of shaft. sum times you can remove the hole housing and move car, up, it should bolt right up, hope this helps!
Enjoying the repair-a-thon Wes. Thanks for taking us along.
love watching old abandoned equipment resurrected from the dead. keep it up
First time I have ever been first to comment.
And you are!
Great project, Wes. Thanks for posting your progress. The video quality is noticeably improved with the higher but rate.
I have an Insley dragline, cat powered and I have the books for it. I love bringing old machines back to life and enjoy seeing it done. I hate seeing them scrapped because once they are gone they are gone forever, keep up the good work.
Im enjoying these vids bringing old equipment back to life keep them coming thanks.
The reason I like watching you work is because I learn something new every time.
That accelerator pump is described in detail in a textbook on internal combustion engines I have from 1944. Pretty cool to see it in the wild!
love to see this ol girl! moving after long time idle ect . keep up with good work thanx
Definitely keep making these videos, I'm loving this.
I’m really enjoying bringing back old machinery. Keep going on it.
Pretty cool , love seeing how this old iron is resurrected .
Love seeing you get an old Continental going again! Those were always great engines. Cant wait to see what else you bring to us!
They are crude, but very reliable!
Nice one, and I for one would love to see this series to a conclusion. A big thumbs up from me.
Great job I love seeing old machinery brought back to life the older the better they work better
My dad had an old link belt speeder, world war 2 surplus machine. I think it had a continental originally, but it was replaced with an international ud9. the ud9 cranked on gasoline and ran on diesel.
He attempted to teach me to operate it when I was about 12 or 13. He failed to tell me to keep the brakes on the drums. I swung and let the brakes go and cable began flying back (kinda like a backlash on a baitcasting reel). I jumped of the machine.
We spent the next day cutting cables out of the gears and etc. Lots of memories.
Sweet! Very nice. I look forward to next vid on this machine.
Subbed! Love watching you work, and explain what you're doing. That vacuum piston repair was genius. Don't stop now. We all want to see her move again under her own power
This is incredible work. Thanks Wes!
Neat!
Accelerator pump, for sure.
I can remember, (in 1982 or something), converting an ancient dragline to pneumatic control on the cable drive clutch. Took ages to figure out how to achive the result that they wanted, but in the end, we mad a special control valve out of this super-neat range of valves sold in NZ, with interchangeable spools and actuators.
It worked and they were happy. So was I.
That was a bloody good job, and I wish I still worked in the automation control industry.
You have just got to complete it, get the tracks going and drive it out of there and then get the rest of the boom done too. Excellent video, thanks from the UK.
Cool mate, look forward to the next one!
Great video good to see old equipment running again
So cool. Great job in getting this old monster to run. Cant wait to see what's next.
Can’t wait for the next one!
Lots of interest!!! Please keep em coming😀
Excellent video Wes! It is so cool to see the old girl run and to learn old carburetors that I have never played with. Keep them coming love the series. Matt C.
Don’t stop. Love it! Your labor, my pleasure. 😄😄 Of course, I know the video is old but I’m playing along. Can’t wait to see your other projects.
Great Job, Wes. As always.
I enjoy these type of videos because it’s fun finding old stuff and see if they were run
Thanks for filming
I love watching these old iron videos!
What an absolutely beautiful sounding engine.
Please continue; love this type of stuff!!!
Love to see more videos on it this is a cool old rig
Yes, keep posting.
Love the videos of the old iron, keep it up!
Love your content. But these last two on the old drag line are my top two! Keep up the intresting work man!
This is a very good project, I am loving this.
Yes keep making the videos, very interesting. Thank you.
Cool stuff Wes! Your videos are informative and fun to watch.
Very good job, love to see the old girl drive again
Awesome, bring em back to life !
I just found your channel and will check back every day. Now to binge watch all the previous videos.

I am addicted to your videos! Great job!
Great Video , thank you for posting
How did you guess you could get it going? You were right! We are all there with you with dreams of what could come next. Oh the beauty of the internet and ability in Australia to see you in your country’s country doing fascinating things....pls keep going.
Awesome as always!
Absolutely want to see part III. I have a deep burning desire to see this machine track under its own power. MAKE IT SO! :)
