The only "gift" is having a logical mind that can stay on a path to its end... The rest is skills, which are learned, mostly by getting one's hands dirty with the help of a mentor, and the fundamental ability to read a service manual. Don't knock that, it's hard work and more than a few skinned knuckles - the skin and blood tax must be paid in full! - and not everyone has the patience or the desire to do the necessary hands-on work to get there. But, many, if not most, people can learn the skills.

Just found this channel and seriously jealous! The truck and trailer, the heavy moving equipment, the countless pieces of construction equipment and 1,000 years of "it's gonna come in handy someday" stuff laying around. Oh, and the TONS of knowledge and skills! damn!

Possible repower with a Lombardini diesel, still build them and you can get parts.

Faryman diesels are tough little engines, but the cost of parts is pretty sobering. The ones i've worked with are splash lubricated (no oil pump), which makes them VERY persnickety about lube oil levels. Too little yields the obvious results, but too full will give you a crankcase full of foam, which will also lead to no oil pressure, etc. Here's hoping you can get Hans and Fritz to send you a new bearing from the motherland without needing a second mortgage. The water cooled version of that motor is pretty popular for small marine gen-sets like the Panda-Fischer; maybe you can find a cheap parts motor that way. GL, and thanks for the vids.

We had them in rental fleet for years. When they go down they usually go down hopefully the counterweight in the wheels that make the vibration are still in good shape but if it’s something you wanna mess with why not. Working on them will make you say things you’ve never said before just experience..

Turned to 380 HP they would live forever (450 was too much internal stress) but AC went out of business before they discovered 450 was too much for the engine. They got bad rep for durability at 450.

Low oil pressure made the bearing inserts ware fast. For me it was called swallowing an insert. This locked up the engine. When you remove the head the vibration shook the locked parts free.

You come out ahead even if you don't get it to run. A free motor, you learned something and you can sell it for scrap. I stick to the smaller stuff now, old motorcycles and scooters. I live in Arizona and when it's 115-120 degrees during the day, I go to my air conditioned shop, turn on some oldies (I'm 75 and a retired combat Marine and retired Calif. cop) and work on OLD stuff I understand. At present it's a1949 Cushman motor scooter I recently took it to an antique car and bike show in Phoenix. It placed pretty well. I enjoy whatever your working on.

You got a great peace of machine there. I worked with one and she's fun. One of the first ever.

Although my mechanic skills are just so so, I would vote to rebuild that diesel and get the compactor restored to working order. It has its own rewards when you can bring something that was DOA back to life. Good luck.

Even if the journals clean up and are within specs, I recommend having a crank man check the crank, and make sure it isn't sprung. Odds are they had a newer guy (like the boss' son, Mr. KnowItAll) that loaded it up with ether while trying to get it started, and it got a severe hammering. If it did get bend, they should be able to easily correct it. I've seen a few connecting rod bearing end up that way from too much ether.

@infoanorexic

3 жыл бұрын

​@@BAtadCrazy If the engine has a manifold heater that is for certain. I'd be reluctant to even try WD-40. But for the others, anyone that uses diesels on a regular basis will, eventually, be in a situation where there are no other options available. I've heard some say to never use it on a gas engine. There are probably as many opinions on the use of ether as there are operators. I do my best to keep to "Last resort, not first, and use as little as possible, engine spinning when applied." If the situation is desperate enough to try it on a pre-heater engine, that pre-heater must be disabled. That seldom happens for me, by then it's usually determined that it isn't going to run as it is.

The later models of this trench compactor made by Rammax had a remote control this was in the late 1997 era..the ones i worked on ..fun machine to see it move and be controlled by remote control.The safety bar at the controls was to prevent you from being crushed against a fixed object like a wall as it reversed the drum rotation when you pushed the bar and the machine moved away from you saved a visit to the A &E or the mortuary.. lol

After watching like 5 different project series from you this is the first one to have something pretty catastrophic but man your like mustie1 but for diesels. Pretty informative so keep it up.

Nice video. If I was lucky enough to get my hands on one of those beasts, I would turn it into a heavy duty work bench of sorts. Always wanted a semi-mobile overbuilt work bench with built in hydraulics, for SNG.

If you look at 19:39, the piston is proud of the jug, the piston was in contact with the head surface and that is what was blocking the rotation. My guess is that it was stuck hard at TDC due to the bottom end failure.

I don't know anything about that engine, but it looks like an interesting project. In my younger days, the first engine I dealt with was a 2 stroke motor-mower engine. The next was a 1955 Rover 2.something litre Inlet over exhaust engine for a Rover 75. Engine and gearbox totally reconditioned successfully and it then ran like a dream. You learn by doing. Have fun.

I have seen them in different applications and its apples to raisins as far as rebuildable. It was considered a throw away instead of building as the parts twenty years ago were unobtainium... just too high to justify and when the crank is tortured like that, I don't know this for sure but heard that they break while running again. So its your call as those seemed popular enough to get running condition and not mess with, just throw on and go. I have seen them with ungodly amounts of hours on the engine meter but still running. I seen one stop with no warning and it sent the side of the block lose from the cylinder... a fairly easy remove at that point. Diesels run so much lower and have the torque missing in same size gasoline engines. You don't need high rpm's in something like that. We have used everything from the handheld compactors to those size under house foundations.

Can't beat free. Means you're not losing any money if you decide to just toss it. But on the other end it also means you can afford to invest a little bit more cash into it before it becomes unworthy. Can't wait to see the follow up after you price some parts. My younger brother was given a late 70's Ford 1700 series diesel tractor with a locked up engine. Even investing in a new rotating assembly and various other odds and ends to get it running it was still very much worth investing the cash into. As have been several other little projects he's undertaken over the last few years. Like I said. Can't beat free.

You need to tilt the forks back before it slides off then load it up and take it to scrape yard, my opinion. Good video and job!👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

I noticed the same thing. I don’t think he could see the forks drooping from the driver’s seat but it looked scary from our side view. This the danger of working alone.

Any FREE equipment that you have a use for is worth saving. Even if you don't really need it, if you can fix it and flip it for a modest profit, it was worth the time.

Any update?

Sounds like the fork lift isnt getting enough lpg through at idle to me cuz when you pick the revs up, she sounds ok but at idle it starts loping

The answer to the question "is it worth saving?" is the sum of the answers to the following... Do you need a Trench Compactor? & Will fixing it present greater value to you in money saving and/or satisfaction than purchasing a running, working machine? (along with a little spritz of bloody-minded self-sufficiency and cool YT content). :) I feel/hope the answer will be yes.

I plan on saving it one way or another, it might get repowered if all else fails

@@DieselCreek trench compactors like this are uniquely exceptional at making compacted earth shop walls, once you build the form to start all you need is time and fuel and dirt.

Very cool to watch the videos

Good little engines along as well as it stays together . Can be a pain in the but at times. Can be hard to find parts for .
