This one doesn't have independent boom hoist. On the console to the left there is an air valve that switches between swing, travel and boom. The same lever runs all of them and the swing clutches is what power all of them

@@be2570w , understood. But it must have been an option the 88B though because I'm positive that the one I ran had an independent boom lever like the 30B did. I think.

@@scottmcquarrie7295 It was absolutely an option. Most of those older machines were like that, because they might have been bought for hook work or digging. A guy that never planned on using it as a crane could save some money by ordering it without the independent boom. I have several small Insleys, and some of them have independent boom and some don't.

@@be2570w , now that makes sense. But I think you would definitely be better off having that option so you could do hook crane work if need be. My bosses had the option and I remember them setting forms and pouring concrete with it at Nyack hospital and Hackensack hospital too. I ran it with a 4 ton wrecking ball and a magnet. I also own a 1000C Insley Excavator. 4-71T Detroit powered.

Its air control, you don't see me stepping on the brakes because they don't move very far. If you look close you can see it.

I'm not sure how much is left, but its a good bit I'm sure. The old 2570, actually newer then this one, that was by the wash plant, has been scrapped.

Cummins. KT1150

Camera was set at a wide angle, it always makes the boom look low when it is.

These are not heavy at all. They’re hollow

I'm not sure where all it did, but this machine used to strip coal in Indiana. It was bought new in 78 and is still owned by the same people today. This is the first dragline I was ever on as a kid, and the 88B that I own now is just one serial number off of this one.

@@be2570w … OK, So you actually Have one Now, WOW, how cool is That..!! 👌✅ Rob Mostly ran LIMA 2400’s at rock quarries in Florida, but when that business slowed down he switched over to Flying night freight 22 years, that business was cut throat also and companies coming n going as yearly bidding went out. 🫣 I’m pretty sure the longest company he stayed with was Connie’s Kalitta’s (the Drag Racer) American International Airways, Kalitta Air LLC now, but gave all that up in 2002 for heavy equipment again..!!

@@annafraley5388 I'm a pilot as well, but never done it for a living. Kalitta used to operate out of Terre Haute at one time. Not far from me. And I used to race sprint cars with Doug Kalitta about 25 years ago.

@@be2570w … Small world, Eh?? Yes we did Roadway Global out of terre Haute back in 95 with the 727s, but I (Rob) was scheduled over to the 747s in January 1996 so started going Much Farther away then like around the World 🌎 but it took a long time to get there..!! 😱 started taking lessons in 1971 in Miami but didn’t finish ALL the ratings till about December 1980 the took until January of 82 to get That illosusive FIRST Job, copilot on DC-3s for 800 $ a month..!! A guy told me while finishing the ratings, “You can Always Love flying. But it will NEVER Love you back”… turned out to be a very True statement…!!!

It's not the same one. That one is still running down at Lynnville, this one originally came from the AMAX Chinook mine east of Terre Haute.

@@be2570w .. Yes, thank you. I figured that out by the end of the day, jut north of I-65 there. That would undoubtedly be the one I went up on at Old Ben Coal back in the 75-76 year..!!✅ I don’t know now what mine number it was, but we drove Down from the Washington area and it was North of Evansville so 🤷🏻‍♂️🫣 I don’t see ANY mine on google earth that appears to be as Big as the one we went to… And we had flown over it in a Cessna a few weeks before driving down to. I do have a few photos of the mine from the flight AND the ground visit..!!! 😎👍👏

Dimension 2 ways,, you get a shim on 2 sides. Or you slab heavy on 2 sides. Pick your poison.

The shim is fine to cut when cutting grade but probably should of taken the shim on your last cut since that would likely been lower grade than 2 cuts before

That was right outside of Blackhawk on its way to Farmersburg. They did get it stuck on the walk to Bear Run, but that was right after they went onto the old Minnihaha property and found a soft spot in the reclaim just southeast of the place they call “top of the world”.

@@be2570w yea your right. My memory is a little fuzzy it’s been awhile. I was clearing trees in front of it got to watch the whole thing What a mess

Most of the people keeping you in electricity

Why are you even on this page?

@@williamkeller3180 Some people's kids. Am I right? lol

UA-cam, cell phone companies, internet companies, and even nursing homes where grumpy old men are at because they don't have a wife that cant put up with them at home

Thanks. Wish I knew how to put some generic music to it.

@@be2570wplease do not add music. If you could get sound next time, great, but not music. We can play our own music if we want music while watching. Thank you for the video!

This drone doesn't pick up sound@@williammain3247

@@be2570w understood. Use an external recorder and sync it in post.
