Now jeff, you know them there haters will never stop and should be wilfully ignored. Here, let me make a few mad for ya... Yes, there is a specific lube for the winch cables, and no the world will NOT come to an end if you don't use it. Just grease was the lube we used on a 50 ton P&H and the many hundreds feet of huge cable it took. In fact, what you used will serve the purpose perfectly to stop or slow rust while outside. I know you are a busy guy but you will never wear that cable out with the amount of use you have in store for that fine old girl that you've now made useful again... Jeff Wins... !!!!
Yea have had to work with cable lube in the past, the cleanest way to apply it is get someone else to put it on, it's a black sticky morass and spreads everywhere.
Hi Jeff, I watch every video on Your channel and I love it. Ive been a QC inspector for the USARMY for 15 years on Engineering equipment and heavy tracks combat vehicles from 1985 to 2000 and I love the old equipment from those days like the D7 en scraper 621 agr grader 615 and the containerhandler DV4> Keep on posting :)
Jeff I’ve been running equipment for 48 years.Had my own company for 20 years. Been watching you from the beginning and have leaned so much from you.Don’t let the negativity get you down .keep the videos coming we love what you are doing.
cliffhanger right at the start LOL Next time they answer with that "If you don't know, you should be not doing it", answer em back with "Well I guess that's why you can't answer any question!!" ;)
Love your channel Jeff. Been watching for 3 years or so. I have learn a lot from you and knew a lot already that you learned. A good teacher teaches what he or she knows, not keep to themselves. You are a good teacher. I am now 66 and have figured out that every day that goes by, I don’t know as much as I thought I knew. So I read a lot and UA-cam videos. To the haters, there was a day when they did something the first time. I watched a guy re-cable 5 ton overhead cranes in a manufacturing plant. My thought was “we are paying $3000 for each crane to do that?” I did them after that for my wages and the price of cable. Saved the company tons of money. Still had to have them certified by a third party company but I was a hero with the owner and got a huge raise. You are a humble man and a good internet friend. Hope to meet you in person someday. Keep teaching because when Jeff wins, I’m happy too!
I think more often than not, the people who say if you don’t know what you’re doing, you shouldn’t do it, actually don’t know either. If I never attempted a job I’d never done before, I would never get anything done.
I can't say that the crane operators and iron workers I work with are super knowledgeable when it comes to getting into details about our cranes. Same goes for our motor pool at Arnold AFB. Sometimes I get involved and we're just digging in the manual or making a call or two for guidance. I tell people that with a little guidance and experience, anyone with common sense could do my job 80% of the time. Same is true for a lot of jobs out there. I'd say some people forget how they themselves got started in their own career.

Thanks for all you do Jeff - Mr. Paydirt! I've said it before and I'll say it again, Your one of the Good Guys left in this World, and there isn't many left some days. Thanks. I really enjoy your videos.
jeff ,i follow several hundred channels ,and yours is the only one i have notifications turned on to .thats all im gonna say ,a wealth of knowledge and banter. be blessed
Jeff you are such a wealth of knowledge on so many things and anyone who doesn’t think you should be working on a crane hasn’t seen many of your videos !
Again, Thank you Jeff, Love the channel, and watch when I can... I try to give good advice when I can... Keep doing what you are doing, and I'll keep watching...
Great video Jeff always enjoy watching you work on this Galion Crane. Glad to see your getting to the end with it refurbishment. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Jeff.
When you get the new sausages weigh them before you put them in the oil. And when you take them out that will tell how much water they took out of the oil.
As for the water in the oil, heat really helps to drive it out, using the machine can only help to bring down the PPM with good absorbers in use. If the absorbers are a typical desiccant material you can sometimes "dry them out" for reuse by putting them in an oven and cooking them on low(200F Max) for a couple of hours. Weigh them before and then after to see if they lighten up from the water boiling off. Hang them up and allow as much of the oil to drip off as possible prior to applying heat. Of course don't do this in your home kitchen unless you want to stink up the entire house. Here's an idea to help locate those grease fittings, tape a penlight to one of your go pros and then mount the camera on the crane looing through one of the holes in the turn table plate. Next spin the boom around real low and then look at the footage to see if the fittings are somewhere within view of the cameras arc of travel. Love your content Jeff, keep up the great work!
I got water in the sump on my XR 280 on one occasion, we were well out in the bush and there was no alternative. I rode it out on the road with water vapour coming out of the breather for several hours till it was all boiled out. There were no ill effects, there was probably not that much water in there and that bike still goes well 20 years later. Heat will fix it but in a hyd system like that it will probably never get hot enough. Jeff
I worked for Union Pacific Railroad and( 2 ) 100 ton Pettibone hi-rail cranes used for switch panel replacements and bridge work were brought to our shop in several rail cars for repairs . One had just been completed and back on the job when the other one came in for repairs . Both cranes turned over bending every section of the booms and ripping the popping the deck bolts heads separating the turn tables from the decks . Threading the new cables that were 700 to 800 feet in length was a tough job , keeping the cable out of the dirt and junk was a chore . Great job on your Galion crane , keep up the great work . Good night from Central Arkansas .
I have been pretty quiet during this series because of never being around any crane maintenance. You wouldn't believe everything I learned by keeping my mouth shut, listening and reading the comments left by some of your great audience! I really enjoyed it and thanks to all those always willing to share their knowledge. Definitely think you should spend most of the week on the sled clearing your thoughts before starting another project!👍 Have a great weekend!
Hi Jeff from the Uk, ignore the haters and don't ever think what your doing isn't appreciated. I find your videos very informative and useful and they do go to show that sometimes even if you don't know give it a try and learn along the way, they also show the value of persistence even when things don't go your way. These are valuable lessons and good values to have and are something that a lot of young people need to learn. The haters clearly don't see the full picture but we do.
leaking 37 degree flared JIC, AN, or AS Fittings can be repaired with "Conical Seals", these were developed for aircraft hydraulic leaks, but will work on JIC as well, they are annealed Copper or aluminum and will fill the scratches on the flared sealing face
Another great video on the crane bro, they got some snow on the mountains well south of me yesterday and temp was down here this morning so fall is with us. Safe travels. Ken.
Hey jeff....ive been rigging and oiling cranes for almost 20 years....been i. The seat for 10. I highly recommend mac's chain and cable lube. Its a napa brand but it actually sticks and penetrates down to the core of your rope without attracting dirt. Grease wont get into the core witch is where u need the lube the most.
Hi Jeff I haven't left comment for a long time but I watch for the content and I bloody enjoy good entertaining narrative. Keep on trucking Jeff. Hi from NZ
I look forward to your videos every week. You’re down to earth and curious - characteristics that are lost on others. Keep up the good work. Jeff wins!
Jeff, When I was splicing, testing, fiber optic cables and installing/commissioning new equipment we used 100% Isopropyl alcohol to clean the fiber and connectors. Anyway alcohol s anhydrous and one the alcohol was diluted with more than 2% water it would smear and cause streaks etc. We used get these crystals that are similar but different than silica gel and heat the stuff in a toaster oven to dry the water from them and then dump a spoon full of them in a pint of alcohol and within a few hours these crystals would adsorb the water and change color to show they were saturated and we would dry them again in the toaster oven and put them back in the bottle to absorb the water as it comes in. My guess that those water absorption sausages are similar and could be dried out in front of a heater and be used again
You should have turned your spool around so that you come off the top of the spool to the top of the drum. Wire rope has memory. If you take it off the bottom of the spool to the top of the drum it may not want to lay tight together on the drum and can cause the block to rotate when you have a lot of head space between your travel block and boom head.
Jeff,tell us about your music composer. The music is spot on,the struggle on d9 and the steady progess on the gallion. Thanks, and as always, Jeff wins!!!
Hey jeff how about a thin easy to make rain guard shield over the cable drum on the boom, you could make a eyebrow lip sticking forward to allow the cable spooling normally, even a complete aluminum cover shaped like the housing to protect from the weather till needed since shes gonna sit in the weather till you use her, then you could just pull ot off while in use or make it permanent
Blocks provided just enough pull resistance. Used at work spray on cable lubricant (Tanado, Liebherr). Kroll 10000 drum more than three layers cable, cable starts to crush. Start using crane, use crane all the time.
G'day Jeff, Cool vid, You've done a great job on the crane, looks like a really modern model, you'd never guess its such an early version . Look forward to seeing it working on the dozer. Best wishes Respect...!
You said it all that’s how we learn, well I did I’ve run quite a few different machines drills and cranes has been the main part of my 40 plus years they saying goes better to ask a dumb question than a dumb mistake
300ppm water is pretty good. Anything below 1000 ppm I wouldn't worry about 1000ppm won't look milky. This based of my experience with turbo machinery. We sample regularly. Ive seen new totes of oil with 300ppm.
Ignore the haters Jeff, you have a great channel and years of knowledge that many out there would envy. And lots of cool machines to either run, fix, or both. Looking forward to seeing that D7 running, it looks like a straightforward job compared to the 9's.
My Chief in the Navy said only the person who ask questions is the smart one then the one who doesn't. Even the one who already knows bacause their set in their ways and new guy could find an easier way..
Great video Jeff! Don't pay any mind to the haters because that's all they know how to do. A lot of people are afraid to ask questions about things they don't know for fear of being reamed a new one or called stupid. I've seen and experienced it myself through the years and could never understand the mentality behind it. Everybody had to learn from somebody else at some point and no one person knows everything. I worked with a lot of the older guys who wouldn't show you a damn thing no matter what, and then there was always that old crusty fella who everybody was scared of, which is the one I always managed to get along with and usually knew more than the rest of the bunch anyhow. Just look for the guy who has the most grease and dirt on him to usually find the one to talk to. That's where I learned to respect those guys and was always amazed at what knowledge they would give me if I showed genuine interest and asked questions when I didn't know. Open gear and wire rope lube is what I always used on the dragline cables and circle gears. I think the last brand I used was from Drummond American, which was pretty good at penetrating into the rope and keeping the water out. There are several other brands on the market too so it shouldn't be hard to find.
I've experienced that as well. I think most people feel that if they know something that no one else knows, it makes them valuable. I used to share everything I knew with everyone I could. People would to ask me why I wasn't afraid that I would get fired if everyone knew what I knew. I would just laugh and tell them I didn't WANT to be the only one that knew because then I would always be the one who had to do it, leaving me no time do do anything else. I feel like it's a small minded thing do do, hoard your knowledge like Scrooge McDucks millions.
Exactly. I had to get my knowledge the hard way, so I like to teach what I know to anyone with an interest. I am currently working with the tech center in my county school system with their welding program to help with testing, job setting, machining, etc. They are seeing a lot of interest and need the help, so I am more than happy to assist with what I can to make it work. It's a learning experience for me as well along with the satisfaction of passing on some knowledge to someone who wants it. It also is going to be a well-paying full-time job for me in the end, so it's nice to be paid for giving knowledge after volunteering for a while. @@frotobaggins7169
@@wvrockcrusher I agree. I always have to learn the hard way with lots of searching, reading, and learning on my own. Fortunately my dad taught me a lot and I was able to extrapolate those skills to other fields. It's exposure and actual experience that we actually learn from. So having the ability to experience things helps to learn. You mention welding, it's a tough thing to learn how to weld on your own. It's difficult to learn what a cold weld looks like, what to much heat or to fast feed looks like There are so many variables in welding and the welder has to learn what each one looks like and what the correction is and how it effects the job. Then there's the whole identifying what kind of metal you're welding which is a whole field of knowledge on it's own. Then to have expert welders come along and down your work saying oh you did this wrong and that wrong, you're going to kill someone, bla bla bla...NOT helpful. When they could say I see your learning to weld. You're doing good but see this here, this is bla bla bla, it causes this... this is what causes that, this is how you fix it...
Nice Job! She's Ready. I would have used cable spray on the bare drum to protect it from rust, then spray each layer to repel water. I'm a big believer in cable lube. Looks like your block is missing a sheave. Four parts usualy use the outside sheave to hang level. You'll be fine. I would Rig or Signal for you anytime! Would you rebuild that engine or repower? I guess parts would be the deciding factor . Tom
I can relate to being sore after going snowmobiling. Partly though it's because everyone I know to go riding with, they are going into the MT backcountry where the snow is deep and we are getting up over 10,000ft. Riding with them is by far the most dangerous thing I've ever done in my life. I'd say a lot of times I prefer the shorter track sleds as they help keep me from going places I have no business in going. That and you can actually get one unstuck without help. I had a short time where I worked for Arctic Cat. That was fun at times on test trips, but again, can be pretty dangerous. Most people will have a story of someone they know dying or at least being buried. I know I do.
Hey Jeff , don’t worry about the keyboard geniuses.. your people skills are just fine you just don’t deal with stupid well. !!!😂. Awesome scenery from the snowmobile.keep up the good work!
Hey Jeff, you should have a third shiv or a spacer between those 2 shivs on the block. You wanna get that shiv outside like this | - |. norally they have 3 shivs and one acts as a spacer in a 4 part. Getting that shiv to the outside will fix the issue you have with that hanging sideways and get your cable off those guards which is a big crane no no. you did spool the cable backwards, but eh. I'm sure it will be fine. Normally top of spool to top of drum, or bottom of spool to bottom of drum for future reference Ignore the keyboard warriors. You're doing a awesome job. I love seeing you get it done and asking for questions. as for the greasing. I believe it should be underneath. I believe you need to go from the bottom Keep up the good work and im looking forward to seeing this thing work on the d9!
The only way to avoid mistakes is to gain experience, the only way to gain experience is to make mistakes, keep up the great videos and learning experiences
See if you can pull all the moisture out of those desiccant socks by putting them in a 5 gallon bucket (or other suitable container) and pulling a vacuum on it.
As far as that cable grub screw. while I think it is not as good as a wedge. It must work because It is used in many applications. You just need to pay attention to how many wraps of cable are on the drum and keep em tight. I love your channel and have the same philosophy about working together to get shit done. People can sure suck, but then again every time you're about to say screw it. Someone good comes along and restores faith in your fellow man. You're one O the good ones Jeff. I have found some great people on Instagram just like you have found on You Tube. cheers
Hey Jeff I think you have done a excellent job on the Crain project. I have learned a lot of different things watching your videos I have several different types of equipment and I have asked people about things if I'm not sure because I know I don't know everything ! My thoughts about some of these so called experts is I don't think they have done a danm thing in this field of work as a friend of mine says they are Wana be experts . I definitely like your style ! Again good job

Just remember “Jeff”…,
“if the women don’t find you handsome, they should find you handy”…
Great video series with this crane,
Thank you sir.
Mr griffy is so sick of helping work on that crane, he didn't even come out and hang out with you this week. 😂
cliffhanger right at the start LOL
Next time they answer with that "If you don't know, you should be not doing it", answer em back with "Well I guess that's why you can't answer any question!!"
;)
I can’t wait for your videos to come out. Enjoy them all. Just keep on doing what your doing. You have thousands of fans.
Jeff, just remember what Kurtis from CEE Australia says, "My shop, my money, my way!"
Jeff, ALL knowledge is learned. I look forward to each and every additional installment, they are importational.
Learning about the Galion has been very interesting Jeff. Thanks for sharing Your efforts. Best Wishes to everyone.
Keep posting videos! We love them. We love your learning and failures!! F those haters, that’s what they do!!!

I love the channel and I have learned a ton about hydraulic thanks Jeff
Great video Jeff always enjoy watching you work on this Galion Crane. Glad to see your getting to the end with it refurbishment. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Jeff.
When you get the new sausages weigh them before you put them in the oil. And when you take them out that will tell how much water they took out of the oil.
It takes a hell of a man to work on new things. Thanks for all your content. I really enjoy it and learn a lot from you
The best part about the end of the video is the quiet and no fing people lol thanks jeff
I enjoyed this project a lot. Thank you Jeff!

I think, watching you and cutting edge engineering in Australia out of the competition of two cranes being repaired by the owner, you win the battle.
If you don't know what you're doing how are you supposed to learn if you don't try doing what you don't know
I really enjoy your channel Jeff !!

300ppm water is pretty good. Anything below 1000 ppm I wouldn't worry about 1000ppm won't look milky. This based of my experience with turbo machinery. We sample regularly. Ive seen new totes of oil with 300ppm.
cable and chain lube napa is the best it wont attract dirt i use it on my tow truck
You could add a spacer between the sheaves on the block to level it out.
Ignore the haters Jeff, you have a great channel and years of knowledge that many out there would envy. And lots of cool machines to either run, fix, or both.
Looking forward to seeing that D7 running, it looks like a straightforward job compared to the 9's.
Watch this video where the cable is winding up on the drum and it looks like the drum is turning in an elliptical pattern.
Thanks for sharing.
My Chief in the Navy said only the person who ask questions is the smart one then the one who doesn't. Even the one who already knows bacause their set in their ways and new guy could find an easier way..
Old intro song finally back hope you don't have to stop again randomly
What a massive job you under took and Jeff Wins
Rest the boom on a sea container or similar and let the weight off the boom mount even power down a bit and see if there is any movement
Great video Jeff! Don't pay any mind to the haters because that's all they know how to do. A lot of people are afraid to ask questions about things they don't know for fear of being reamed a new one or called stupid. I've seen and experienced it myself through the years and could never understand the mentality behind it. Everybody had to learn from somebody else at some point and no one person knows everything. I worked with a lot of the older guys who wouldn't show you a damn thing no matter what, and then there was always that old crusty fella who everybody was scared of, which is the one I always managed to get along with and usually knew more than the rest of the bunch anyhow. Just look for the guy who has the most grease and dirt on him to usually find the one to talk to. That's where I learned to respect those guys and was always amazed at what knowledge they would give me if I showed genuine interest and asked questions when I didn't know. Open gear and wire rope lube is what I always used on the dragline cables and circle gears. I think the last brand I used was from Drummond American, which was pretty good at penetrating into the rope and keeping the water out. There are several other brands on the market too so it shouldn't be hard to find.
I've experienced that as well. I think most people feel that if they know something that no one else knows, it makes them valuable. I used to share everything I knew with everyone I could. People would to ask me why I wasn't afraid that I would get fired if everyone knew what I knew. I would just laugh and tell them I didn't WANT to be the only one that knew because then I would always be the one who had to do it, leaving me no time do do anything else. I feel like it's a small minded thing do do, hoard your knowledge like Scrooge McDucks millions.
Exactly. I had to get my knowledge the hard way, so I like to teach what I know to anyone with an interest. I am currently working with the tech center in my county school system with their welding program to help with testing, job setting, machining, etc. They are seeing a lot of interest and need the help, so I am more than happy to assist with what I can to make it work. It's a learning experience for me as well along with the satisfaction of passing on some knowledge to someone who wants it. It also is going to be a well-paying full-time job for me in the end, so it's nice to be paid for giving knowledge after volunteering for a while. @@frotobaggins7169
@@wvrockcrusher I agree. I always have to learn the hard way with lots of searching, reading, and learning on my own. Fortunately my dad taught me a lot and I was able to extrapolate those skills to other fields. It's exposure and actual experience that we actually learn from. So having the ability to experience things helps to learn. You mention welding, it's a tough thing to learn how to weld on your own. It's difficult to learn what a cold weld looks like, what to much heat or to fast feed looks like There are so many variables in welding and the welder has to learn what each one looks like and what the correction is and how it effects the job. Then there's the whole identifying what kind of metal you're welding which is a whole field of knowledge on it's own. Then to have expert welders come along and down your work saying oh you did this wrong and that wrong, you're going to kill someone, bla bla bla...NOT helpful. When they could say I see your learning to weld. You're doing good but see this here, this is bla bla bla, it causes this... this is what causes that, this is how you fix it...
Keep the videos coming Jeff
Pretty excited to see you on an arctic cat 🤘
Old guy once told me to just figure that there's always a good chance you're the last sane person left on earth and everybody else is crazy.
You do a great job looks good .
Nice Job! She's Ready. I would have used cable spray on the bare drum to protect it from rust, then spray each layer to repel water.
I'm a big believer in cable lube.
Looks like your block is missing a sheave. Four parts usualy use the outside sheave to hang level.
You'll be fine. I would Rig or Signal for you anytime!
Would you rebuild that engine or repower?
I guess parts would be the deciding factor .

Cable lube works wonders!
I can relate to being sore after going snowmobiling. Partly though it's because everyone I know to go riding with, they are going into the MT backcountry where the snow is deep and we are getting up over 10,000ft. Riding with them is by far the most dangerous thing I've ever done in my life. I'd say a lot of times I prefer the shorter track sleds as they help keep me from going places I have no business in going. That and you can actually get one unstuck without help. I had a short time where I worked for Arctic Cat. That was fun at times on test trips, but again, can be pretty dangerous. Most people will have a story of someone they know dying or at least being buried. I know I do.
Hey Jeff , don’t worry about the keyboard geniuses.. your people skills are just fine you just don’t deal with stupid well. !!!😂. Awesome scenery from the snowmobile.keep up the good work!
Looking good 😊
Can't wait to see it lift something!!
Let the haters hate Jeff, winners gonna keep on winning. Love the channel and the content! Keep up the great work and keep sharing the knowledge.
Hey Jeff, you should have a third shiv or a spacer between those 2 shivs on the block. You wanna get that shiv outside like this | - |. norally they have 3 shivs and one acts as a spacer in a 4 part. Getting that shiv to the outside will fix the issue you have with that hanging sideways and get your cable off those guards which is a big crane no no.
you did spool the cable backwards, but eh. I'm sure it will be fine. Normally top of spool to top of drum, or bottom of spool to bottom of drum for future reference
Ignore the keyboard warriors. You're doing a awesome job. I love seeing you get it done and asking for questions.
as for the greasing. I believe it should be underneath. I believe you need to go from the bottom
Keep up the good work and im looking forward to seeing this thing work on the d9!
The only way to avoid mistakes is to gain experience, the only way to gain experience is to make mistakes, keep up the great videos and learning experiences
❤❤❤Another great video GOOD JOB 👍👍👍👍AUSTRALIA WATCHING
I can't help you locate the grease fittings but I can tell you for sure your wire brush is closing in on retirement!
she's got about ...........ohhhh...........23 more strokes left lol
Great video 👍 Love the videos and learning along the way maybe spray on some chainsaw oil sticky stuff 😊
That cable spool, at onetime had some type of yellow protective coating on it.
See if you can pull all the moisture out of those desiccant socks by putting them in a 5 gallon bucket (or other suitable container) and pulling a vacuum on it.
As far as that cable grub screw. while I think it is not as good as a wedge. It must work because It is used in many applications. You just need to pay attention to how many wraps of cable are on the drum and keep em tight. I love your channel and have the same philosophy about working together to get shit done. People can sure suck, but then again every time you're about to say screw it. Someone good comes along and restores faith in your fellow man. You're one O the good ones Jeff. I have found some great people on Instagram just like you have found on You Tube. cheers
Jeff builds back better!
Damn, I killed your camera 😂
LOL
Just keep doing what you do Jeff. There are always haters and know it all's out there, don't let them bother you.
Hey Jeff I think you have done a excellent job on the Crain project. I have learned a lot of different things watching your videos I have several different types of equipment and I have asked people about things if I'm not sure because I know I don't know everything ! My thoughts about some of these so called experts is I don't think they have done a danm thing in this field of work as a friend of mine says they are Wana be experts . I definitely like your style ! Again good job
I ran those Galion's a few times but didn't particularly care f.or having to twist my neck that much.
