  • Today we are headed after an old Deck crane that has been siting in the weeds for MANY years. This old crane was almost definitely destined for the scrap yard when I found out about it, and I just COULDN'T let that happen!
    We will see what it will take to get the machine moved, and maybe, just maybe we'll get it running if we can.
    Recovering machines is always a fun adventure, so sit back, relax, and enjoy the recovery of this old Broderson IC70 Deck crane today!
    ~
    Thanks as always for watching and following along with all my crazy adventures here on Salvage Workshop, I TRULY appreciate it!
    Please enjoy! I know I did!

    I think it is a Fordson 4D industrial diesel engine, made in the UK at Dagenham and these engines were actually called the Dagenham range, available as both the 4D and 6D (6 cyl.) versions. Very characteristic rocker box cover shape and the horizontal injectors are also unusual. As well as being used in tractors, they were often used on stand-by generators and in small boats. They were considerably cheaper than their Perkins, Lister or Gardener equivalents.

    • @super6954
      @super6954 Рік тому +11

      Hi it's not a 4d industrial engine those are 220 cu and look identical to what's in my Fordson major tractors this has way to many differences. Another youtuber has a similar crane, and those injectors had me thinking when I saw it. The nearest i can come up with to this is a 172 or 192 industrial diesel, that's similar to what's in a a ford 8-900 series tractor.

    • @WeeShoeyDugless

      @@WeeShoeyDugless You mean the later 2700 series engines than the original 220 4 and 330 6 D's. Apart from the head having the same idea with the injectors under the valve cover and the head ports the same side, everything else is totally different on this one. Like I said this is a 172 or 192 sold in the American market I never saw one in the UK, but the 2700's were real common and I've owned and still have 4 and 6's in Dags, Dover's and Dorset ranges

      @@StealthDonut1 No need for flamin, nothing wrong with asking! I knew it was diesel because there was an injection pump and not a carburetor... also there were no plugs, plug wires, or a distributor... plus the fuel filters on diesels are typically larger and closer to the engine / injection pump like it was on this engine.
      Lots of little things, that all add up to it being diesel!

    FYI, most downriggers are pretty easy to raise without the hydraulics running. Use a bottle jack to raise the machine far enough to slide a floor jack under the downrigger pad, then let the bottle jack down. Pump the floor jack up a few inches to put pressure on the cylinder and move the downrigger's control valve lever to the UP position. Most valve bodies will allow the fluid to flow back. Rinse and repeat until the pad is high enough to not get in the way. Outriggers like on a backhoe can't be raised all the way with this method, but you can at least push them up to a horizontal position. I've raised them the rest of the way with a strategically placed come-along or chain hoist. As you might guess, I have a lot of things with leaky cylinders.

      All Crane cylinders including outriggers have holding valves installed in the cylinder. This valve keeps the cylinder from drifting in or out while holding all the extra weight the crane is lifting. The valve most likely in the can side of cylinder where the hose's go in will need to be removed and then the rod will be able to move.

    In 95 I spent three months working in Atlanta. They had a large Grove crane trying to lift a brand new crane like that on to a higher level. The Grove boom was extended to far out and the welds broke with a large KA- BOOM and crashed down on the driver cage and took off the hydraulic tank on the small crane. Smashed them both flat. My coworker and I were watching the gauges testing our lines and witnessed the whole thing. Ah the memories.

    That is a ford 172 diesel. That’s the identical engine that’s in a ford 4000 industrial tractor. The injection pump is a Roosa master. The injection lines running through the side of the head are actually running to jumper lines that feeds the injectors that are fashioned in a typical up down manner. Message me if you need more information but you can find most anything you’d need available online.

      He should try bleeding the injectors, just loosen the lines at the injectors and crank until fuel comes out steadily in spurts. Go easy on the starting fluid or you will blow the ring lands off of the pistons! Happened twice on the engine I had in a Balmar loader, replaced it with a gas farm tractor motor, it bolted right in!

    Comments have been made suggesting that the engine is a Ford UK Diesel and speculation to the model type. I worked in Ford Parts in the UK. If you can get to the side of the Block it will have a casting number eg, 508E 6015 /2701E 6015 for the Truck engine or C5NN 6015 for the tractor Engine. Each of the numbers will be followed by id letters for example 510E 6015 AA for instance. It is possible that it has a CAV injector pump if it is UK made. There may also be casting Numbers on the Inlet Manifold. Hope that this is not to misleading

    Matt, I never even heard of Broderson cranes before but it looks like the Ford 192D (or is it D192) in one of the boat hoists at work. It could be a 172. I don't know how wide the Ford line was. It is an offshoot of Ford tractors. They also made it as a gas engine. The fuel system is a little finicky to bleed. As I recall the injectors are vertical and what you see are extension tubes. The pipe plug in the intake manifold should be a cold start coil plug, one at each end. Even with glow coils, she is hard to cold start as a recent rebuild. We use a core plug heater for cold temps.You need glow coils unless it is really warm outside for a cold start. Once you get it going it runs well, however. Put a safety clamp on the dead end of the load cable. Look up the approved way with a short scrap of cable clamped to the tail.

    I have operated the Broderson Carry Deck cranes. Great for interior work done inside plants or factories.

    Quite the project. Since those Air and Exhaust pipe "pass throughs" look post factory (especially since you said wrong location for the Air Cleaner) agree it's a re-power with "something". As I recall Ford and Perkins used that bluish engine paint. The Oil Filter P/N might be a start as well as Injector Pump Model. Besides that, start crawling around looking for a casting numbers or a data plate someplace. Sure, some pictures posted on a diesel engine online forum might help too. Good Luck and look forward to more on this baby beast.

    It's a 172 cubic inch or a 192 cubic inch ford diesel. They were used in 801 series and 901 series ford tractors and the first generation thousand series ford tractors. The 192 is the same block and everything as the 172 it's just bored out and was used in industrial applications ie: air compressors, gen sets, water pumps, and probably this crane. The 2 plugs on the intake manifold are preheaters you'll want those as they are very cold natured, they are good motors and run very well and can still get parts, the vanes in the injection pumps will get stuck if it sits and doesn't get started up and run every now and then, but other than that they are a pretty good engine. Got a ford 961 diesel that I restored that needed a new motor took a 192 out of an air compressor and replaced the 172.

    When I was in school for my avation mechanics license, my instructor had an older gas version of this crane that had been sitting on the school lot for a while after he used it to move some plane projects around about 5 years before. I helped him get it going again with a new starter and a good carb rebuild. It may look like everything is easy to get to, but with the engine being tucked in the center surrounded by heavy metal plates, it proved to be a challenge, but I definitely enjoyed the experience.

    I started working on railroad in 1978!
    They used those to move truck sets (wheels bolstered that connected the side frames wheels axles brack rigging.
    Under powered hydraulics, lifting capacity!
    They were useful but bigger machines came along soon!
    You know, bigger faster better!
    I came out of the era of the Clark’s!
    Seen them, was around them!
    For you and what you do! It will be fantastic!
    There beasts!
    Be fortunate careful and use it till you can swap for better!
    Like a excavator!
    Dump truck of a good vintage!
    Life is about to get exciting!

    If you are ever in the situation where you do not know if it's 12 or 24volt, A quick and easy way to tell is check the volt meter, so long as it has a volt meter. If no volt meter is present start with 12, no harm done, unless it was 6 volt, that would be a headache and a half as the smoke starts rolling.
