That machine gives some insight as to why being a machine oiler was a job description.

My neighbor was an oiler on one of these and didn’t have much to do after they upgraded the controls but he still had the job title of oiler.

I'd be willing to bet that is the same for cranes. The've improved a lot with technology, but cameras can only show so much and there are still a lot of grease fittings. It's a great starting place for an apprentice to learn from. That is a lot of responsibility to hand over to someone who learned on a simulator. So many young people are getting into construction that can't change a tire and don't know which way to turn a nut on a bolt to take it off or put it on! It's scary to witness.

Merchant marine here, oiler (also caller wiper depending on if you're on commercial ships (oiler) or government ships) position is alive and well in this industry. In the old days that was literally his job to oil and grease and clean up the mess. Still the same now but with diesel and gas turbine making steam obsolete, the job has evolved to cleaning entire engine spaces and a lot more maintenance shit (depends on chief and 1st engineer but because I was mechanically inclined mine always gave me a pretty long leash).

I have a guy at my church that’s 94 and I take him to tractor and equipment shows and hear all his stories of owning a grading business and running draglines. He owned a bucyrus dragline and ran countless others. He still tells the story of running a northwest shovel in the lithium mine and how if you hung a rock, you’d better clutch it quick or that machine would pull itself over😂

Kevin had is own small door to enter the cabin area! 😂😂 "How many fingers are down in there,"!! 😂 good one Kevin! True guards were put on equipment after appendages were lost. 😅

This old girl is an incredible machine. Hopefully someone will have a book or you will find some old boy who knows these machines. You are making progress there. Great content Clinton thank you.

You going to be shocked at how many fittings you have missed. Ran one of these machines many years ago, there are a lot of fittings on this equipment. Have fun with it and be safe doing it.

When I had my model 25 I said "People think those cranes are made out of iron, the truth is they are made out of grease, the iron is just there to hold the grease in place." Also the factory told me to use Lubriplate gear shield extra heavy out of a caulking tube for the open gears like the bevel gears for swing/travel

How does the drive clutch connect to the final drives?

Great videos! My first oiler job was on a 41 northwest. It had the Murphy engine with hand engaged starter. It was converted to air engaged controls. The machine was owned by s.j cohen construction out of Blytheville Arkansas. What a workhorse these machine were.

It’s amazing that as old as that machine is seems every grease fitting took grease with ease!

We had our ten acre lake dredged with one just like this one. They pulled over a hundred loads of silt keeping three dump trucks busy. The amazing thing was watching how far he could throw that bucket every time into the lake.

This is better than a sitcom

Man! looking at the operator’s compartment, one thing comes to mind…those operators sure as hell earned their pay, and then some!

Imagine having to grease that puppy everyday using an old Alamite hand pump, you guys have it made now.😁They are only major problems if you can't overcome them..I know you guys can do it. Keep on keeping on Clint & Kevin.👍👍

Awesome day in the life at C&C equipment..looks like the ole girl is coming along..glad ya got some folks that can steer ya in the right direction as you come across these challenges. Looking forward to seeing your next video😇🛠️🔧🛻🚜🇺🇸

Dam the old girl is coming alive mire each time you guys give her some much needed tlc! I have faith clint you guys well get that bo mast up and a flag spring soon!

This would surely go a lot better if we could find the "Directions" on how to operate the beast? Very much impressed with the sound of that big old engine/motor. That is some serious power. Another great adventure in progress.

I recently discovered your channel and have been working my way back through earlier videos. I earned my highway tractor license at 19 and was in the trucking business until I retired at 65 in management. Your channel is great entertainment; everyone seems to enjoy doing what they do and it's done right. It's a family business and everyone in the family is hands on. The detail provided is also a great learning tool. There are no voices raised ion anger (on the video anyway 😁) . When Clint goes to an auction site the details of his inspections, what to look for and problem area pointed out, I'm sure are saving viewers tons of money. At 71 I'm still learning and love it. Keep up the great work!

cool stuff, thanks

Great video. What a machine!!!! Pretty cool how much time and engineering went into it, to make so many things greaseable serviceable.

......G'day Clint gang, your channel is the story of my life, I had a fantastic apprenticeship then had twenty years as a mine-mechanic/fitter/maintenance supervisor. I was blessed by the original workshop manuals on every machine in the most complete library under my care; Fantastic experience. Now I am eighty one and useless; But we have "the internet". Love the videos, cheers and blessings, Malcolm (still riding my 1995 LEGEND, #7 of twenty three made).

This is great one toy after another. This is like history class and the right people are running wild. Great job boys once again. God’s blessings to all❤️🍺👍👍

Thumbs up 👍 water 💦 ouch! EDIT: I would consider putting in LED lights 12 or 24 volt what ever the system is. Even in full sunlight you’ll find dark areas and as old as this is I would keep an eye on as much as I could. Even to the point I would want to keep systems from falling apart.

That was sure a lot of grease, the cost must have been more than Kevin's salary🤣😂 Nice that folks out there are willing to provide answers to the questions, that you're posting. With all these things, that have been sat around not being used for years, they are going to take a lot of care to get back to a working condition again. Well done to you for wanting to save it. 👍🤗

I hope you are a good fly fisherman. As a kid I watched several different draglines and it seems now to be an operation like that: toss out, hook the dirt, tip the bucket, drag, fill it, bring it in and wash, rinse and rerun.

Thanks

Clinton that voicemail is them wanting to talk to you about your vehicles extended warranty on the drag line. They've been trying to get in touch with you for a long time. LoL God bless

Kevin's people better have recently been checked to be in good health! Throwing that multitasking at us without warning... 😅 That was yer side, bud. Thanks for making my Monday better.

Yes digging locks those levers. Swing to propel dog siesed . Sometimes you have to "feather" the lever to go from swing to propel

Uncle Scott and that house kinda go together. Like peanut butter and jelly. LoL God bless

My family was in excavating years ago they had lots of draglines over the years My dad had a small machine like yours but it was called a Sargent Made by Iowa / Sargent machine works It was a 40 something model it had a big flywheel for about 8 V belts to drive it Cat D318 diesel with a pony motor I used to go with dad a lot We also had 2 big machines 71-B and 88-B they had V-16 Detroit’s Sorry so long lol Great videos guys sure miss these old machines

l to Loaded logs with 45 yrs ago model 6 80d the big one we had 6cy murphy pick twenty tons never tip slow moving but would always go make sure you set the digging dogs if you Don't you will roll away wonderful to see running

Nice video

I love it when Clint has that TERRIFIED look !

Please make sure you carefully and closely inspect the boom dogs. A friend of mine oiling was killed in a truck crane. When a faulty boom dog snapped and the boom fell and crushed him in the cab. Thank you for sharing your vidoes, wish you the best.

Damn this is addicting to watch, its like crack. Just want to thank you for this gift your giving us (memories of my childhood) countless generations of miners...

The rudamatec on the boom has a spring in it that can break your arm if you have to rewind it or the cable on it breaks rewinding always use more then one person and a strong bar

When you started the beast up it reminded me of the old saying that you don’t put your fingers where you wouldn’t put your winky and I can see lots of places I wouldn’t put my………….. fingers.

Some may say that all those zerks and oil cups and lube points are a pain, but these oldies were engineered to last, Then an engineer came along and took out the lube points and grease fittings and put a dab of grease in the new bearings, lubed for life.... or until the bearing fails. Would be interesting replacing bearings on this machine in the field. must say I enjoy the sound of a real diesel engine, not motor.

Motors are electric. Engines are use liquid dinosaurs for fuel.

A little dragline/crane jargon. The pulleys are called sheaves pronounced shiv. Where the cables gather at the top is the gantry. The boom is referred to as the stick. Frictions are what make everything work. Frictions and brakes. The fairlead is what the drag cable goes through.

Uncle Scott is grumpy because he's tired of those people calling about your vehicles extended warranty on the drag line. LoL God bless

I get the gasoline treatment, it actually works pretty well, you might want to add red diesel and automatic transmission fluid as buffers and additional lubricating solvents. There are probably multiple types of lubes combined over the years. Always lots of surprises as things start loosening up. Have fun.🤙

Run an ad it the paper or journals asking for a retired dragline operator. Might save you some time. Great machine, should be fun once you get everything figured out. Take care, jack

That machine is as old as me. Looks and feels about the same. Good luck!

It's almost like you're scuba diving for treasure, finding a little junk along the way. Yet you keep diggin so it'll start diggin!😁

I would consider running up a few flags up that rather expensive flag pole the stars and stripes, old glory, make a flag for your company and your state flag, may as well you have the room, thanks once again Clinton and Kevin, from Scotland, but must admit that is one very expensive flag pole, but very stylish keep on keeping on, tell the Misses she is doing well with her channel.

The turn table gears ⚙️ and the house & hook rollers take crater also. Your Right foot brake is the Drag Drum and the Left foot brake is the hoist drum. 👍

MONEY PIT! That's what is so scary about big equipment. One broken part can be a fortune?? Can't wait to see how it turns out!!

I ran these machines for dad and then for Hornbeck and sons logging. This same machine was also a dip stick with a big old bucket and a trip line to dump the bucket. I had worked for Lawrence for a good while and knew he was so broke it was hurting my feelings to even take his money on paydays. I finally figured out a way to pull the bucket off of it and put tongs on the cable line so we could load logs with it. I remember like yesterday when he saw the machine with that bucket off and a set of tongs hanging on it. Within the hour, he had those controls just a talking and loading out trucks about every fifteen minutes which for those days was lightning quick/lol. I just don't remember a lot at my age as not being in one for ner long as this one was born. I'd guess its been close to fifty years now. I remember that a lot a times we would have to get the gears rolling and let it kind of work itself into the swing or travel and that it took two levers to make it do one or the other... hope to see a lot more of this machine... one thing sure as from my place its looking like it was in really good condition... just saying as I am a few miles off from you here in alaska

I would not be surprised that Clint would get it up and running. I have a feeling he's going to try sell it to his logger client with those tongs that you mentioned.

back in the day when these were operational one of the Jobs that went with the dragline was the oiler who maintainedthe rig he did everything on the machine but run it
