Not a lift mechanic but I spent many yrs useing just about every make and model out there and I can say with confidence the 2 most reliable ones for me personally we're the Gradalls and JLGs. They were tough and very reliable. Dont get me wrong, they occasionally did break down but it was always an easy and quick fix. A few times even I was able to get it running lol. So i didnt have to call the mechanic. My favorite of the 2 was the Gradalls. Those things are super tough, and they had the smoothest hydralics out of all of them. If you've ever used lifts before you know how important good hydraulics are.
Not sure why this video landed in my queue but I watched the entire thing. Fascinating that you got it to run. (I am a 61 year old grandma) My Dad was like you, he could fix anything. He passed away last year. So nice of you to get this eye sore boom off her property.
I was strangely hooked on watching this whole video, I think it was your "never give up" matter of fact attitude, good on you for getting that eye sore outta that lady's yard, shame on the owner for not figuring out some way to get this thing removed timely.
@@kanemeasham-pywell92 Kane, why say that? Green grass grows out of the tiniest places, and if you look closely the tires have great tread and BIG lugs; as a lighter boomlift, of COURSE grass grows under the gaps under the tires. I conclude Deboss is a fellow Canadian, NOT a Brit. or Aussie like you ;-)). so why criticize needlessly? Deboss knows his stuff! Why think ill of him? .... We're not know for crookery, especially as many of us work so hard to put content in front of you doubter/gripers! ... and a good video to boot! jd at Machineco, Montreal.
Thank you for helping the old lady. The contractor dumped his problem on her, which is bad enough at the best of times, but to do that to someone who is not able to deal with it is disgusting. BTW, since the contractor agreed to have you work on it, he has to pay you. More than likely though, he'll just give it to you for payment. Just make sure that you get a title or bill of sale to document it in case he changes his mind later.
Funny people hear "old lady" and think little old saint. She obviously had no problem taking her workman to court. For all you know, the guy did a great job for her, priced it just above cost of materials, and she still hasn't paid him because he left the machine there. I've seen that a lot. If he doesn't get paid what he's owed, how is he supposed to pay to have it towed? And even then she still might complain and refuse to pay. I deal with people like that more than you'd think, and a lot of them are little old ladies. They will give our there bank account numbers to scammers on the phone who say their son is arrested and needs bail money, but they will bitch and bitch about an honest job you do for them and refuse to pay unless you take them to court. And even then they don't pay -- you can put a lien but what good is that? For many "old people", it's free credit until they die or get removed to the nursing home. Don't be dense. If this woman was a "nice old granny", you'd see her out there bringing him something to drink, etc.
Hello, this was my first time watching your work. Great diagnosis. I was on the edge of my seat waiting/hoping it would start! ;-) I knew it would since you wouldn't have posted it otherwise, but I, as a lifetime gearhead, was entertained and got a nice education to boot. Thanks and keep up the good work.
My one buddy works for a lift company that ,sales rents and repairs them. He said if you have the serial # he could probably get you the wiring diagram or anything else you’d need. If you have any specific questions for me to ask him let me know
Best I can tell is that the oil pressure switch is an Upright part number of 068954-001. I am currently checking with some of my vendors to see if I can track one down. I will try to update if I am able to locate one.
Wow helpful replies. Refreshing. Most videos or forums would only say “by the time you get done fixing that you could buy a new one”. Doesn’t matter if it’s a lift, gun, boat or boiler lol.
@@mitchtn14 it;s a GM 5.7L v8 engine should not be hard to find oil pressure sensor failure is common you just need to know what engine it is does it use a 5 volt reference? as there is two types of sensors old school and OBD2 5v+ more then likely the computer is OBD2 since that is a tiny computer. older car computers from the 80s were HUGE about the size of a shoe box and you needed at lest 2 or 3 of them
I woulda actually went to court and owned it like the lady could of then sold it for a few grabd pick up only lol someone would get a deal and if grt free money
Pulling it is a pain since its all hydrostatic and he mentioned that since its heavy and the placement where it was made It hard to get a tow truck in there something about sewer or something underneath too much weight xant remember he explains it all in another video
Johnny Drinkard But technically the owner did not come after this for a year or better and if it’s abandon in somebody else’s yard and they don’t want it there it’s only fair that they have a right to get rid of it. He could have easily kept this thing if he wanted it but he doesn’t want it any plans on getting it back to the owner who abandoned it
Johnny Drinkard One thing if somebody I know came to me and said hey can I store this on my property for a certain amount of time or store it here and I probably would let them store it there until they could find a space for it. But the guy clearly had no permission to store it there set it for a year and let it set an old woman’s yard and I don’t think that’s right I think that if he cared that much about his equipment he would’ve made the effort to come and get it fixed to drive it out of there and he did not
Johnny Drinkard But technically the guy who owned it Abandoned it and it became property of the old woman and she chose to get rid of it on her own accord because if that guy who originally owned it wanted that piece of equipment bad enough you would’ve been there before a years Time in the head then after it trying to get it back to the shop so he could get it fixed to use obviously he didn’t care that much about it or he would not have a bandit there and she wanted it out of her yard which is only fair because it was after all her yard that it was sitting in and again if you listen closely to the video and the story behind it I had been sitting there for a year and she had even called the cops trying to get it out of there and to no avail
Johnny Drinkard I don’t see where he would be stealing it if the old lady wanted him to take it just because he needs a salvage title one the guy who originally owned it abandoned it himself if he had thought anything about it he would have come to get. The guy who made this video was nice enough to bring it home after trying and attempting to get it running and storing it for this guy to come and get it and he did not have to do that and he was nice enough to help out the old woman in doing so And getting it off her lawn
Johnny Drinkard Yes I understand that it may have not necessarily seemed like it was his place but the old woman wanted it gone and technically if the old woman wanted to give it to him for free that is her business because again like I said it was on her property for a year and after year I believe that is a fair enough time to say that that guy no longer owns it so the guy that originally a bandit if you no longer owns it and this guy is willing to get it back to and fix it for Him before hand tells me that the guy is just doing a honest deed for an old woman when the other guy who owned it would have never come and claim did anyways and furthermore if the guy that originally owned it never came and cleaned it and this guy never came along to do anything to please probably would’ve eventually came and took it for scrap metal and isn’t that pretty much Considered stealing as well I understand the old woman’s frustration because she never told the guy that he could keep that there.
This was the first video of yours that I've watched. I have no idea at this point what your professional background is but I'm guessing you're not a lift mechanic. Your knowledge as a mechanic is inspiring. I love fixing things on the fly (preferably not my own stuff, but I love to learn). I'm a bit of a late bloomer but I hope I can become at least half the mechanic you appear to be in this video. Thanks for the great content and I look forward to binge watching more of your videos. Cheers from Stouffville, Canada
first thing I saw was fried wire. Rich, this is one of my favorite videos you have done- right at the beginning, "It's FUN, so WHY NOT??" that exemplifies a lot of what we in the tinkering world do. It's not always about money, it's not about glory, sometimes, it's just about the fun of getting it running! One of my favorite things to do is get a motor running that has been sitting for years.
Yep, someone mentioned that if its not charging that it will act the way it is. That is the regulator for charging I think. Stupid FI systems. IF the Crank sensor, Fuel pump, Fuel regulator or Alternator is broken, it acts the same way.....
Nice job, I like your clear thinking process, down to basics diagnostic thought process. I try to keep these things in mind. So many distractions. You did a good thing, and helped a neighbor at the same time. Peace my brother.
I guess they probably couldn't afford or wasn't worth to get it maintained and something else came up so forgot about it There's a reason all bosses are grouchy so and so's
Right? Crazy and flat out irresponsible. That is a ton of company money sitting right there...and if the guy can't fix his own equipment, he should at least know/employ someone who can. Left it sit there for a YEAR?!? Hell, he could have craigslisted it...as is...and had it sold and gone in a month.
@@codywhitlock2077 Agreed, I hope this old lady at least gets some storage fee money out of it. What a fool a person is to leave such an expensive piece of equipment to rot. Any construction company ,Roofer etc. would love to have such a machine.
RIGHT!?!? I mean he had to of leased it from the company... Why did they not come out to claim it? Maybe he outright owned it. Even then, why would you just leave a 100k dollar piece of equipment, AT YOUR CUSTOMERS HOUSE!?!? Did this guy even do that job? No wait, WHY THE FUCK DO YOU NEED AN 80 FT BOOM ANYWAYS!?!?!?!? ALSO, HE GOT IN TOUCH WITH THE OWNER OF THE BOOM, BHT THE OLD LADY COULDN'T? WHY DOES NONE OF THIS MAKE ANY SENSE!?!?!? ARGGGG, ITS SO AGGRAVATING!!!!!!!!!!!
Way to go, Rich ! You did an old lady a kindness, and put the company owner on notice, for just abandoning a piece of equipment on a sweet old woman's property. Taking advantage of her.
So it had been in her yard over a year, she had called the cops a couple times, she finally gets the courts to say it's hers now, she puts it up for sale thinking she can sell it for enough money to get her heat and air unit replaced finally. So this guy shows up asking about it, she thinks he wants to buy it, he works on it for awhile next thing she knows is its going down the road and she didn't get a dime.
So in the basket controls that dial that you were messing with his the speed control and there should be a rabbit and a turtle switch that may go up down may go left right that's also going to be an indicator for your speed and motion Mobility Yes you were in Turtle mode and yes that's about the maximum speed that you can get and yes you use the joystick controls to drive it That fuel is definitely an issue by the way I ran into that kind of issue before and the start-stop emergency switch on the base controls is religiously an issue and there is a hand over switch that also ends up being an issue The siren is also not plugged in as it should be going off whenever the vehicle is in motion Or when the boom arm goes up and down there are a number of triggers that are going to get really annoying That engine system looks extremely like the JLG series lifts you may want to take a look at some of theirs for a reference Just for safety sake as well you need to examine the idea of having an emergency descent system in place and do not and I repeat do not go up in that thing without your damn cell phone being stuck up there with no way down and no one knowledgeable enough to work the ground station controls turns into a massive debacle If for some reason you were stuck in the air the person on the ground would have to switch the controls from basket to the ground station and then hold a button with one hand and press the individual controls with the others in combination for rotation and ascent and descent and boom Arm Control Do yourself a favor take a good photograph with your cell phone of the base station control system and do not Elevate yourself or operate the basket without that same cell phone in your hand and at least 100 ft of paracord So that you could lower down the Paracord and Pull Up full size rope to be able to get yourself out of there in case it gets stuck Ask me how I know I was never allowed to post my fat man flying video when I myself got stuck and had to jump into some bushes from that exact same type of lift that failed in air So it is a Upright model A b62 RT with gas engine It looks like 3 arm boom with an extension hydraulic that has already had some switching in the basket controls rewired Sketchy but fun If you really want a hoot take it to full vertical extension and just feel the sway
I hate those things...I hate the sway even more...even on a concrete surface where I know it will never tip over...I still don't trust it....I especially hate being up in one with another person...ever time they move I think I am falling over lol...
@@CarswithNash You think that's funny...you should see my knee's knocking when im up there...but I still do it lol. Im a little better after a while...but not much.
Lol. You people. I'm in a 30 year 90' boom bucket truck daily cutting trees that are higher than I am. And trust me I'm high AF 😂. The boom sway is a great feeling if you don't feel it you are dead.
Have to get a court order but realistically maybe 2-3k attorney can handle it for you. The old lady probably didn't want to hassle with it just wanted it gone.
@@Mike-01234 You don't need a lawyer for abandoned property , it's literally as simple and waiting the amount of time the law says you have to then filling out the documents with the court to take ownership of it . Both you and the owner will be summoned to court , the judge will go over both your stories and talk to witnesses if you have them . If that thing has been there a full year as claimed there is no way the judge wouldn't say it's abandoned and the owner wouldn't have any justification for it since she clearly never agreed to allow it to sit there . Who pays a lawyer for that?
@@Mike-01234 just file lean sale with DMV. THe owner gets notified by mail and has a grace period to make amends with the leanholder, fight it, or let the clock run out and it becomes property of the leanholder. People leave their shit at auto shops all the time and the shop owners leansale them to recover cost of repair and some profit. It can be done for anything that has registration that is left on your property.
@@lynncampbell6237 I've never seen any place in the united states that doesn't have an abandoned property law as iv'e laid them out, if you know of any please list them .
Cam Revill that’s an $800 lift at 3.5¢ a lb. i’m a service manager for a rental company. Not worth putting the time into that thing unless you want it to nickel and dime you to death.
The 4bt is way too heavy for this application. Power output is also likely way overkill. The 3.0 is provably rated at 60-65hp at 3000-3200rpm. I have a 120’ manlift with a 4B in it. Machine itself weighs 45k lbs so an obese powerplant is not a big deal to it. Plus it can actually utilize the ~100hp.
that lift is an ex rental you can see it in the paint. its clapped out. it needs its weight in dollars to get it to a state that could be legally rented.
@@mophomanners 2500 and some change a month so it breaks down to less than 850 a week with a 40 ft boom .also you can look www.sunbeltrentals.com/equipment/subcat/80/manlift-articulating/
Considering how long ago I first watched this video, just came across it again, and in between I've watched (and subbed) to Ron's channel... I'd say he could have picked and carried it with the Tator. Some of these are really goddamn light.
Fuel pump sounded like it has a obstruction on the suction side. I had a plugged strainer in front of a pump on my deere it made a really loud wining like what I heard in the video. I blew out the strainer and everything works fine with no noises.
Imagine you are a fuel pump and you've been retired for a year. You've spent your afternoon on a corner shelf and now some hobo comes along and makes you work again!
Old lady should have filed proper abandonment papers. After some varying amount of time, she owns it and can sell it. That would recoup her tree cost and compensate her for the ‘storage’ and inconvenience of mowing and moving around the abandoned equipment.
@@RRRIBEYE I'm certain he meant as an "obstacle" one has to move around, as in, this was in her way. Clearly this thing hasn't moved since it broke down.
I've worked on one before had to go threw and re wire the entire ignition wiring and changed the entire fuel sending setup they were know for using cheap wires that's why they are not in business anymore but props on you diag i do it every day and it becomes second nature
That big blue block at @7:03 is an isolator, in case you have dual batteries. When power is killed to the trigger wire, it isolates the batteries so you won't drain your main engine starting battery while running electronics with the engine off
What kind of bs contractor abandons equipment on someones front yard like that? That fact alone speaks enough about their business for me to know it’s not someone I would ever hire. That is very , very poor customer service at the least. That poor lady who had to stare at it everyday.
@kidwave1 - There is the question of legal ownership. I would have contacted the owner and asked how much $ he would accept, then go about doing what needed to be done.
@@bobblack3870 No pal, you follow the rules of law, he dumped his equipment on the lawn, he should pay for its storage. If he doesn't he loses it. No one is being bullied no one is being conned. But your not stealing the item either. Pull your big boy pants on and get over it.
@@pjmbidge632000 Even though you can recite quotes someone else came up with, you do not come across as someone I would would want to have as a neighbor. You reveal that you have very rough edges. You still seem to support your proposed actions, including that even when you never stored anything, you are willing to fabricate a claim - for the purpose(s) I said before.
Have had the unfortunate pleasure of working on one of those for a friend of mine. Engine is either a 2.5 or 3.0 GM. We never figured out which, but = we used chevy S-10 parts from an early 90’s pickup and worked perfectly. Wiring diagrams were close enough to figure out what we needed to know. Behind the control panel cover in his machine was a phone number for support that was still connected. We talked to a snorkel dealer in California that was very helpful figuring things out. Had lots of trouble with safety/limit switches not allowing all the boom functions to operate. Wish I still had their contact info..... Good luck!
@@lancekippenbrock5307 I know. Its all in good fun! I don't actually have one ticket. My first job was in construction when I was 14. The boss thought I was sixteen. On rain days we would do chainsaw carvings. The instructions consisted of a 40 second demo showing me how to start it. That's it. No safety, no warnings, no licence. I ended up making about 50 carvings and even did a couple shows. Best one was a 12' bear in a live willow tree where the branches worked perfect for the arms.
If it has a throttle body with the injectors in the throttle body (90s style GM v6 v8) check for the temp sensor the ecu pulls reading from. I had a very similar problem with a truck i had years ago in which the sensor went bad and was trying to tell the ECU it was -30degC on a 90degC day. That caused the ECU to fire both injectors at %100 duty cycle, essentially killing the engine off with fuel after several seconds. You may notice a difference if you try to start it at the coldest time of the morning when the air is coolest, that is a symptom at least. Also it is definitely a GM engine, if you can take the info from the engine a GM dealer may be able to pull some information for you. That machine maynot have support, but often enough it is just a generic engine which may have support.
also it will have a gm map sensor and they can go bad and make it very hard to start. pretty sure the 88-95 chev pickups have all the same sensors temp and map sensor she should run for you
Dealt with that same issue put a carb on it solved it . Bush fix funny they swapped it with a boat motor.yes it’s a 3.0 mercruiser engine. Parts are cheap and plentiful get rid of the fuel injector if it has it go with intake manifold and carb. It won’t let you down oh wait it’s Chevy design it will only let you down when u need it not too. Great channel Good seeing another Ontario brother.
A business owner just left his machinery on a customers property... for a year... because it wouldnt start... these are the signs of a terrible business owner. These are signs he will use anyone! Including an elderly woman who was his customer and made him a profit. Unbelievable... sounds like he never forgot about it either. He just didn't care. 🤦♂️
@@GearheadStew Well you have to try the propane idea just for fun! Great video can't wait for the big Win! Getting it going! Best way to keep viewers leave them hanging.
John Siders Where are the brackets and lines? Gonna get them from the local propane dealer? Matter of fact where did it even show that it was dual fuel to begin with?
Wow, way to stay invested despite the setbacks. Those man-lifts or boom lifts are pricey, so there is definitely value there. Hopefully, your effort pays off. I am amazed that the owner abandoned it. Thank you for posting this.
I work for JLG, used to work at a rental company with customers that had UpRight lifts and always wanted us to help them figure out their machines. They are hard to find schematics, manuals, and parts for because like he said in the vid they are out of business. Hope you figured it out, would like to see a follow up. I would think bypassing the low oil switch may help but definitely clean fresh fuel, good field pressure and power/ground to fuel system would be my top things to dig in. Also verify the LP/Gas switch is turned to gas, or get a propane tank and try to run it on LP mode. Less complicated sometimes on some engines for LP mode but sometimes opens another can of worms
Well for those that don't know it sounds smart. But truth being its probably not. A top. Fueler and I don't. See. Any wings so deduction would prevail. He did teach me how to tow one though.
UA-cam auto plays when I fall asleep. The cranking on this woke me up because this is the same motor I have in my boat. Brought me to my happy place... or in this case, who the eff is touching my boat lol.
the oil psi switch is fine if it was bad the anti crank circuit for start run module wouldnt work it would crank and crank every time you push start enable switch his is working because you got to reset module every time it sees pressure and hes got to estop every start cycle
Wow! Master-level troubleshooting skills!!! I probably couldn't have done what you did. From working on small engines, a shot of ether in the intake would let me know if it's a spark or fuel issue. If it fired on ether, spark is good, fuel supply is bad. Very cool!
So why couldn't it be moved from the ladies property? I've hauled these things many times (running and not running) in the past with a roll off truck. Roll the deck off, hook up your winch, pull it on the deck, roll the deck back onto the truck, secure the load and away you go....... and Bob's your uncle! You definitely don't want to use a small roll off truck, go big or stay home... those bucket lifts are damned heavy.
Steve T definitely should have been moved.. I’d have given him a few weeks before I had it removed or had a lawyer offering to start charging him for every day it sits there
@@evanforster2665 First thing is to contact the local Sheriff. They can have the abandoned property removed (after 90 days) and held at the owner's expense, and the owner can be billed for the removal and storage by the Sheriff's Dept.
Hi! Most any of those machines that have the low oil/high temp shut down usually have a button on the panel that you will need to push and hold until the engine is running and oil pressure is present. Otherwise the engine will not start! It may have been the black button on the panel. Try it!
with today's fuel... the 1st thing to do is Drain it all out...1st it's been a year since it was last used.. 2nd after fuel /w ethanol settles over a period it will separate causing the 1st thing pulled into the fuel filter to be 100% Denatured alcohol and most motors wont run on it.. 2nd the octane rating of the fuel dissipates so even draining the ethanol from the fuel won't help.. the only thing that fuel in it is good for is a fire starter but barely that... It's a wonder you had it running on the fuel that was left in it.. since it was sucking mostly ethanol... since it feeds from the bottom of the tank "As a result the octane can decrease within months for 87 octane fuels, especially when stored under less than ideal conditions. 93 octane fuels are more refined and contain more stable hydrocarbons. These stable hydrocarbons can last 2-3 times longer than 87 octane fuel." "Though it naturally degrades and loses combustibility over time due to oxidation (exposure to oxygen) and evaporation of its volatile compounds, gasoline usually lasts three to six months when properly stored in a labeled, tightly sealed plastic container or metal tank" With all that said i would Dump all that fuel in it.. the filters should have never been that dark looks more like dirt and algae buildup in it.. replace them all and start with Fresh fuel Sincerely, a Former Fuel Tanker Driver

No wasp nests, no cobwebs...and anyone can call the sheriff and have it towed in 24 hours by any company with a rotator lift or a fucking snatch block. That thing has been there a couple of days, possibly a week at the most, though I doubt it. Long enough, maybe, for the short grass to grow up to almost the bottom of the basket, not through it, like it would have in less than a month making it impossible to cut below the floor of the basket, save for around the rim where the trimmer would reach. The level of lawn care to get under the basket and cut the grass would also extend to trim cutting all around the machine just as diligently. Likely, you pulled it onto longer grass and just mowed before the shoot. Liar. And lying for no reason at that. Just be real, the manipulation of cognitive bias is fucking shameful. We're not idiots.

think the eaziest way to get it to run right is to make it run on propane , thats stand alone and works of the manifold vacuum , you can stil do the initial start using the fuel system and then switch to propane /pull the wire i dont think its the crankl sensor as that allso regulates the spark if its fully computerized (no disttributor ) you just need to find out who supplied the engine , its usually general motors or sumting like that and based of a car engine GM still sells parts through the usual places
Hey Rich those oil pressure switches are just an SPDT switch. Feed one terminal to hot or switched source, one to fuel pump, and the other to cranking power ( the extra terminal on most solenoids that will provide 12V during cranking) . It works by powering an electric fuel pump when cranking and then oil pressure makes it contact from hot or switched source to fuel pump when there's a few lbs of oil pressure.
You know when your dad said, “if you keep smoking dope and going to concerts with your friends and skipping school, you’ll end up a mechanic....” well, dad.... this guy’s pretty awesome and I couldn’t fix the tire on that thing, so.....
@Avshalom Chotawm not under the tyre buddy that's what I'm on about mate when I put a few bricks out the back the grass turns Brown within a couple weeks
Actually, if you put the video on .25 speed and start at 14:21, you can just see that the grass was dead at the spot that was at the bottom of the tire just as you reach 14:22. It's only there for a split second before he split-screens the video, but the dead spot is there. The thing that may be confusing you is that because of the very deep treads, the grass was able to grow well right up to the point where a single lug of the tread made contact with the ground.
Yo I could use that shit. I live in Arizona and the grass dies when you just look at it. Definitely not the 110+ degree heat everyday that we experience.

Thank you for helping the old lady. The contractor dumped his problem on her, which is bad enough at the best of times, but to do that to someone who is not able to deal with it is disgusting.
BTW, since the contractor agreed to have you work on it, he has to pay you. More than likely though, he'll just give it to you for payment. Just make sure that you get a title or bill of sale to document it in case he changes his mind later.
It don't have a title,and never did.
It dose not need a road reregistration tit!e.
Just a bill of sales is needed.

Fresh fuel was my immediate thought. How about some starting fluid? IT would be easy to bypass the oil pressure switch.

More like a super hero with greasy fingers
Funny people hear "old lady" and think little old saint. She obviously had no problem taking her workman to court. For all you know, the guy did a great job for her, priced it just above cost of materials, and she still hasn't paid him because he left the machine there. I've seen that a lot. If he doesn't get paid what he's owed, how is he supposed to pay to have it towed? And even then she still might complain and refuse to pay. I deal with people like that more than you'd think, and a lot of them are little old ladies. They will give our there bank account numbers to scammers on the phone who say their son is arrested and needs bail money, but they will bitch and bitch about an honest job you do for them and refuse to pay unless you take them to court. And even then they don't pay -- you can put a lien but what good is that? For many "old people", it's free credit until they die or get removed to the nursing home. Don't be dense. If this woman was a "nice old granny", you'd see her out there bringing him something to drink, etc.
Hello,
this was my first time watching your work. Great diagnosis. I was on the edge of my seat waiting/hoping it would start! ;-)
I knew it would since you wouldn't have posted it otherwise, but I, as a lifetime gearhead, was entertained and got a nice education to boot. Thanks and keep up the good work.
My one buddy works for a lift company that ,sales rents and repairs them. He said if you have the serial # he could probably get you the wiring diagram or anything else you’d need. If you have any specific questions for me to ask him let me know
Justin Delp that's a nice offer. Hope he sees this comment
Best I can tell is that the oil pressure switch is an Upright part number of 068954-001. I am currently checking with some of my vendors to see if I can track one down. I will try to update if I am able to locate one.
@Viking Power just wondering if he checked the oil level?
Wow helpful replies. Refreshing. Most videos or forums would only say “by the time you get done fixing that you could buy a new one”. Doesn’t matter if it’s a lift, gun, boat or boiler lol.
@@mitchtn14 it;s a GM 5.7L v8 engine should not be hard to find oil pressure sensor failure is common you just need to know what engine it is
does it use a 5 volt reference? as there is two types of sensors old school and OBD2 5v+ more then likely the computer is OBD2 since that is a tiny computer. older car computers from the 80s were HUGE about the size of a shoe box and you needed at lest 2 or 3 of them
If that were left in my yard, I’d drag it into the street. That would get something done, quick.
That’s what I was thinking dude. It would cost next to nothing to drag that shit into the middle of the street and leave it there.
I woulda actually went to court and owned it like the lady could of then sold it for a few grabd pick up only lol someone would get a deal and if grt free money
Pulling it is a pain since its all hydrostatic and he mentioned that since its heavy and the placement where it was made It hard to get a tow truck in there something about sewer or something underneath too much weight xant remember he explains it all in another video
Any respectable 2500 could drag that shit into the street side ways man. It’s not that hard to move it 10 feet to the left.

What a Guy!! Neighborhood Mechanic Man to the Rescue
Johnny Drinkard But technically the owner did not come after this for a year or better and if it’s abandon in somebody else’s yard and they don’t want it there it’s only fair that they have a right to get rid of it. He could have easily kept this thing if he wanted it but he doesn’t want it any plans on getting it back to the owner who abandoned it
Johnny Drinkard One thing if somebody I know came to me and said hey can I store this on my property for a certain amount of time or store it here and I probably would let them store it there until they could find a space for it. But the guy clearly had no permission to store it there set it for a year and let it set an old woman’s yard and I don’t think that’s right I think that if he cared that much about his equipment he would’ve made the effort to come and get it fixed to drive it out of there and he did not
Johnny Drinkard But technically the guy who owned it Abandoned it and it became property of the old woman and she chose to get rid of it on her own accord because if that guy who originally owned it wanted that piece of equipment bad enough you would’ve been there before a years Time in the head then after it trying to get it back to the shop so he could get it fixed to use obviously he didn’t care that much about it or he would not have a bandit there and she wanted it out of her yard which is only fair because it was after all her yard that it was sitting in and again if you listen closely to the video and the story behind it I had been sitting there for a year and she had even called the cops trying to get it out of there and to no avail
Johnny Drinkard I don’t see where he would be stealing it if the old lady wanted him to take it just because he needs a salvage title one the guy who originally owned it abandoned it himself if he had thought anything about it he would have come to get. The guy who made this video was nice enough to bring it home after trying and attempting to get it running and storing it for this guy to come and get it and he did not have to do that and he was nice enough to help out the old woman in doing so And getting it off her lawn
Johnny Drinkard Yes I understand that it may have not necessarily seemed like it was his place but the old woman wanted it gone and technically if the old woman wanted to give it to him for free that is her business because again like I said it was on her property for a year and after year I believe that is a fair enough time to say that that guy no longer owns it so the guy that originally a bandit if you no longer owns it and this guy is willing to get it back to and fix it for Him before hand tells me that the guy is just doing a honest deed for an old woman when the other guy who owned it would have never come and claim did anyways and furthermore if the guy that originally owned it never came and cleaned it and this guy never came along to do anything to please probably would’ve eventually came and took it for scrap metal and isn’t that pretty much Considered stealing as well I understand the old woman’s frustration because she never told the guy that he could keep that there.
This was the first video of yours that I've watched. I have no idea at this point what your professional background is but I'm guessing you're not a lift mechanic. Your knowledge as a mechanic is inspiring. I love fixing things on the fly (preferably not my own stuff, but I love to learn). I'm a bit of a late bloomer but I hope I can become at least half the mechanic you appear to be in this video. Thanks for the great content and I look forward to binge watching more of your videos. Cheers from Stouffville, Canada
first thing I saw was fried wire. Rich, this is one of my favorite videos you have done- right at the beginning, "It's FUN, so WHY NOT??" that exemplifies a lot of what we in the tinkering world do. It's not always about money, it's not about glory, sometimes, it's just about the fun of getting it running! One of my favorite things to do is get a motor running that has been sitting for years.
Yep, someone mentioned that if its not charging that it will act the way it is. That is the regulator for charging I think. Stupid FI systems. IF the Crank sensor, Fuel pump, Fuel regulator or Alternator is broken, it acts the same way.....

Way to go, Rich ! You did an old lady a kindness, and put the company owner on notice, for just abandoning a piece of equipment on a sweet old woman's property. Taking advantage of her.
The way that fuel filter looks I’d be worried about the injectors being full of crap
So it had been in her yard over a year, she had called the cops a couple times, she finally gets the courts to say it's hers now, she puts it up for sale thinking she can sell it for enough money to get her heat and air unit replaced finally. So this guy shows up asking about it, she thinks he wants to buy it, he works on it for awhile next thing she knows is its going down the road and she didn't get a dime.
So in the basket controls that dial that you were messing with his the speed control and there should be a rabbit and a turtle switch that may go up down may go left right that's also going to be an indicator for your speed and motion Mobility
Yes you were in Turtle mode and yes that's about the maximum speed that you can get and yes you use the joystick controls to drive it
That fuel is definitely an issue by the way
I ran into that kind of issue before and the start-stop emergency switch on the base controls is religiously an issue and there is a hand over switch that also ends up being an issue
The siren is also not plugged in as it should be going off whenever the vehicle is in motion
Or when the boom arm goes up and down there are a number of triggers that are going to get really annoying
That engine system looks extremely like the JLG series lifts you may want to take a look at some of theirs for a reference
Just for safety sake as well you need to examine the idea of having an emergency descent system in place and do not and I repeat do not go up in that thing without your damn cell phone being stuck up there with no way down and no one knowledgeable enough to work the ground station controls turns into a massive debacle
If for some reason you were stuck in the air the person on the ground would have to switch the controls from basket to the ground station and then hold a button with one hand and press the individual controls with the others in combination for rotation and ascent and descent and boom Arm Control
Do yourself a favor take a good photograph with your cell phone of the base station control system and do not Elevate yourself or operate the basket without that same cell phone in your hand and at least 100 ft of paracord
So that you could lower down the Paracord and Pull Up full size rope to be able to get yourself out of there in case it gets stuck
Ask me how I know
I was never allowed to post my fat man flying video when I myself got stuck and had to jump into some bushes from that exact same type of lift that failed in air
So it is a
Upright model A b62 RT with gas engine
It looks like 3 arm boom with an extension hydraulic that has already had some switching in the basket controls rewired
Sketchy but fun
If you really want a hoot take it to full vertical extension and just feel the sway

The lift was abandoned for a year she should have been able to take ownership after 30 to 90 days .
Have to get a court order but realistically maybe 2-3k attorney can handle it for you. The old lady probably didn't want to hassle with it just wanted it gone.
@@Mike-01234 You don't need a lawyer for abandoned property , it's literally as simple and waiting the amount of time the law says you have to then filling out the documents with the court to take ownership of it . Both you and the owner will be summoned to court , the judge will go over both your stories and talk to witnesses if you have them . If that thing has been there a full year as claimed there is no way the judge wouldn't say it's abandoned and the owner wouldn't have any justification for it since she clearly never agreed to allow it to sit there . Who pays a lawyer for that?
@@Mike-01234 just file lean sale with DMV. THe owner gets notified by mail and has a grace period to make amends with the leanholder, fight it, or let the clock run out and it becomes property of the leanholder. People leave their shit at auto shops all the time and the shop owners leansale them to recover cost of repair and some profit. It can be done for anything that has registration that is left on your property.

Barry Boppins manlifts do not have ‘titles’ and are bought and sold through ‘bill of sale’ documentation only.
The 4bt is way too heavy for this application. Power output is also likely way overkill. The 3.0 is provably rated at 60-65hp at 3000-3200rpm. I have a 120’ manlift with a 4B in it. Machine itself weighs 45k lbs so an obese powerplant is not a big deal to it. Plus it can actually utilize the ~100hp.

Old lady should have filed proper abandonment papers. After some varying amount of time, she owns it and can sell it. That would recoup her tree cost and compensate her for the ‘storage’ and inconvenience of mowing and moving around the abandoned equipment.
It was definitely mowed around - but definitely NOT moved around!

You're a genius. I learn so much watching you!
That big blue block at @7:03 is an isolator, in case you have dual batteries. When power is killed to the trigger wire, it isolates the batteries so you won't drain your main engine starting battery while running electronics with the engine off

Have had the unfortunate pleasure of working on one of those for a friend of mine. Engine is either a 2.5 or 3.0 GM. We never figured out which, but = we used chevy S-10 parts from an early 90’s pickup and worked perfectly. Wiring diagrams were close enough to figure out what we needed to know.
Behind the control panel cover in his machine was a phone number for support that was still connected. We talked to a snorkel dealer in California that was very helpful figuring things out. Had lots of trouble with safety/limit switches not allowing all the boom functions to operate. Wish I still had their contact info..... Good luck!

Deboss you are so nice for moving that off that nice old ladies front yard what an eyesore.
If it has a throttle body with the injectors in the throttle body (90s style GM v6 v8) check for the temp sensor the ecu pulls reading from. I had a very similar problem with a truck i had years ago in which the sensor went bad and was trying to tell the ECU it was -30degC on a 90degC day. That caused the ECU to fire both injectors at %100 duty cycle, essentially killing the engine off with fuel after several seconds. You may notice a difference if you try to start it at the coldest time of the morning when the air is coolest, that is a symptom at least. Also it is definitely a GM engine, if you can take the info from the engine a GM dealer may be able to pull some information for you. That machine maynot have support, but often enough it is just a generic engine which may have support.
also it will have a gm map sensor and they can go bad and make it very hard to start. pretty sure the 88-95 chev pickups have all the same sensors
temp and map sensor she should run for you
it's a 5.7l engine
It is nice to see people doing nice things for random people. I bet the old lady is happy to have that eye sore off her property.
Dealt with that same issue put a carb on it solved it . Bush fix funny they swapped it with a boat motor.yes it’s a 3.0 mercruiser engine. Parts are cheap and plentiful get rid of the fuel injector if it has it go with intake manifold and carb. It won’t let you down oh wait it’s Chevy design it will only let you down when u need it not too. Great channel

They are hard to find schematics, manuals, and parts for because like he said in the vid they are out of business. Hope you figured it out, would like to see a follow up. I would think bypassing the low oil switch may help but definitely clean fresh fuel, good field pressure and power/ground to fuel system would be my top things to dig in. Also verify the LP/Gas switch is turned to gas, or get a propane tank and try to run it on LP mode. Less complicated sometimes on some engines for LP mode but sometimes opens another can of worms
Hahaahahaha "smells like about 75 octane"
Don't you know that the Trailer Park Boys issued a tutorial telling how to tell the different grades of fuel by taste?
Coleman fuel, lol
He should lose his citizenship for not knowing!
Well for those that don't know it sounds smart. But truth being its probably not. A top. Fueler and I don't. See. Any wings so deduction would prevail. He did teach me how to tow one though.
I don't know about that, looks more like 80 from here XD
Am glad how you put your heart and passion in the things you like to do
Please don't forget to update us when you work on it again. I have to know how this turns out.
UA-cam auto plays when I fall asleep. The cranking on this woke me up because this is the same motor I have in my boat. Brought me to my happy place... or in this case, who the eff is touching my boat lol.
the oil psi switch is fine if it was bad the anti crank circuit for start run module wouldnt work it would crank and crank every time you push start enable switch his is working because you got to reset module every time it sees pressure and hes got to estop every start cycle
Nice job, definitely like to see an update on this piece of machinery.
Watching this at 3 am because it’s in my recommended.
Wow! Master-level troubleshooting skills!!! I probably couldn't have done what you did. From working on small engines, a shot of ether in the intake would let me know if it's a spark or fuel issue. If it fired on ether, spark is good, fuel supply is bad. Very cool!
So why couldn't it be moved from the ladies property? I've hauled these things many times (running and not running) in the past with a roll off truck. Roll the deck off, hook up your winch, pull it on the deck, roll the deck back onto the truck, secure the load and away you go....... and Bob's your uncle! You definitely don't want to use a small roll off truck, go big or stay home... those bucket lifts are damned heavy.
That’s what I thought like who just leaves a piece of equipment at a customers house for a year
Steve T definitely should have been moved.. I’d have given him a few weeks before I had it removed or had a lawyer offering to start charging him for every day it sits there
didnt get towed because nobody wants to pay the bill for a machine they dont own
@@evanforster2665 First thing is to contact the local Sheriff. They can have the abandoned property removed (after 90 days) and held at the owner's expense, and the owner can be billed for the removal and storage by the Sheriff's Dept.
thanks for sharing your diagnostic process
All I know about that hog is that I love watching you trouble shoot it.
Me too

Hi! Most any of those machines that have the low oil/high temp shut down usually have a button on the panel that you will need to push and hold until the engine is running and oil pressure is present. Otherwise the engine will not start! It may have been the black button on the panel. Try it!
Whoever left it at an elderly ladies home, is a terrible human.
Smart guy! He knows his stuff! 👍👍
with todays fuel the first thing u should do is introduce new fuel to the system
with today's fuel... the 1st thing to do is Drain it all out...1st it's been a year since it was last used.. 2nd after fuel /w ethanol settles over a period it will separate causing the 1st thing pulled into the fuel filter to be 100% Denatured alcohol and most motors wont run on it.. 2nd the octane rating of the fuel dissipates so even draining the ethanol from the fuel won't help.. the only thing that fuel in it is good for is a fire starter but barely that...
It's a wonder you had it running on the fuel that was left in it.. since it was sucking mostly ethanol... since it feeds from the bottom of the tank
"As a result the octane can decrease within months for 87 octane fuels, especially when stored under less than ideal conditions. 93 octane fuels are more refined and contain more stable hydrocarbons. These stable hydrocarbons can last 2-3 times longer than 87 octane fuel."
"Though it naturally degrades and loses combustibility over time due to oxidation (exposure to oxygen) and evaporation of its volatile compounds, gasoline usually lasts three to six months when properly stored in a labeled, tightly sealed plastic container or metal tank"
With all that said i would Dump all that fuel in it.. the filters should have never been that dark looks more like dirt and algae buildup in it.. replace them all and start with Fresh fuel

@@raykomro yes and me being a diesel mechanic have started trucks that sat n a field for 30 years with the 30 year old diesel fuel. today's diesel fuel wont store either cause the powers that be don't want us to be able to stockpile fuel. now what does that tell u?
Bought a used and worn Genie
Its not perfect, but it gets the job done and never any issues starting it, even when its not been used for months and its parked outside in the winter in -20 Celsius

The grass under the tires is still green. He's lying about the whole story.
@@skeetorkiftwon On the left is a dead patch, on the right is a hole. The contact patch of the tire would only be about 5 or 6 inches at most.

Look man, I've towed these to yards for impound.
I'll lay him flat out:

You pull up to a brick house circa 1970-80, then show a stock photo of a woman sitting on a wooden porch in front of a wood sided house pre 1950 given the trim and door construction.
A lie. Different houses.
Then you go to a stock photo of some twenty something man with a decade old phone.
Yawn. Not the guy.
Then you go to another stock photo of a different old woman with a two decade old phone.
Seriously? Not even the same woman.
Then to a different stock photo of a different guy on a different phone.
Lame.
Joey Salads editor is better at this. Call him. Fire yours.
A bald spot on the lawn, and some grinding during the turn, doesn't solve your wet *clean* tire rolling off *green* grass.
No wasp nests, no cobwebs...and anyone can call the sheriff and have it towed in 24 hours by any company with a rotator lift or a fucking snatch block.
That thing has been there a couple of days, possibly a week at the most, though I doubt it.
Long enough, maybe, for the short grass to grow up to almost the bottom of the basket, not through it, like it would have in less than a month making it impossible to cut below the floor of the basket, save for around the rim where the trimmer would reach. The level of lawn care to get under the basket and cut the grass would also extend to trim cutting all around the machine just as diligently. Likely, you pulled it onto longer grass and just mowed before the shoot.
Liar. And lying for no reason at that. Just be real, the manipulation of cognitive bias is fucking shameful. We're not idiots.
@@skeetorkiftwon Ok Ok I don't know anything about all that. It just seemed fun to watch being a mechanic and all. lol But your right. It could be taken away whenever they wanted to.
@@Sarconthewolf
If the wheel indents don't do it for you, then look at the grass on the basket. Lol
That shit should be grown through.
We have rotators that could easily pick that up compared to dump trucks etc, lol.
The dude is scamming for clicks.

Very nice of you to get that out of the lady's front lawn. 👏👏👏
think the eaziest way to get it to run right is to make it run on propane , thats stand alone and works of the manifold vacuum , you can stil do the initial start using the fuel system and then switch to propane /pull the wire
i dont think its the crankl sensor as that allso regulates the spark if its fully computerized (no disttributor )
you just need to find out who supplied the engine , its usually general motors or sumting like that and based of a car engine
GM still sells parts through the usual places
Block says Gm lol
PSI takes the engines and adapts them to the lifts for multiple companies. You can see their logo on it.
Hey Rich those oil pressure switches are just an SPDT switch. Feed one terminal to hot or switched source, one to fuel pump, and the other to cranking power ( the extra terminal on most solenoids that will provide 12V during cranking) . It works by powering an electric fuel pump when cranking and then oil pressure makes it contact from hot or switched source to fuel pump when there's a few lbs of oil pressure.
You know when your dad said, “if you keep smoking dope and going to concerts with your friends and skipping school, you’ll end up a mechanic....” well, dad.... this guy’s pretty awesome and I couldn’t fix the tire on that thing, so.....
Man, you know your shit. You have my utmost respect.
Hasn't moved in a year and still the grass under the tyre's was green magic!
@Avshalom Chotawm not under the tyre buddy that's what I'm on about mate when I put a few bricks out the back the grass turns Brown within a couple weeks
must rain every day,here in aus.,1 day its dead.rubber kills grass.
You are a very astute individual! Impressed. Great observation.
Actually, if you put the video on .25 speed and start at 14:21, you can just see that the grass was dead at the spot that was at the bottom of the tire just as you reach 14:22. It's only there for a split second before he split-screens the video, but the dead spot is there. The thing that may be confusing you is that because of the very deep treads, the grass was able to grow well right up to the point where a single lug of the tread made contact with the ground.
Yo I could use that shit. I live in Arizona and the grass dies when you just look at it. Definitely not the 110+ degree heat everyday that we experience.
Great job, a very smart man, Good Job !
