I was raised on the Derrick floor of my grandfather’s Standard Rig and National Machine. I was too young to let me drill with the Standard Rig but I did get to drill with the National. Iloved that National when you had the right motion that 200’ cracker on top of the tools would hit twice every stroke. Very few are left to know the feel of the temper screw. Those were the best days of my life.
Do you allow the governor on the engine to activate while you are drilling? I’ve heard that the best motion is achieved when the engine is allowed the free wheel as the tools go down.
hi thanks for the video. i have same water well which was dug 20 years a go but for same reason i didn't used, i deiced now to used it for my farm. unfortunate, has been covered by same rubbish and stones, i have rent a seminar machine but the problem i face is one of my rig casing is 8 inch which is they didnt have the stem drive to fug so i need your help were i can find a 6 inch casing and stem drive for it, and do i need to dug more as i have been advice to increase it by 20 more netters to get more water. am waiting your replay pls i can provide you with same videos if its help for my request thanks again
It’s rated to drill 1,200 ft. I’m sure that would depend on cable diameter and size and weight of drill tools. It has different settings for changing the length of drilling stroke.
Whats in the bag that he ads. And how far can it go i just had a well dug whith a 36 they used a 13.5 wide stem to drillit ways over 1 ton. Looking for water in my ranch i found im prity good at finding water i even got the depth of each stream by one meter. Im looking to by a machine need ability drill. Min300m by 12 inch. Any advice.
osbaldo j. ulloa jimenez the bag containes bentonite chips. I use it to make a thin clay slurry to help bailing out my drillings. This rig was designed to drill 1200 feet, depending on the size of the drill tools. I have 600 ft on this rig.
osbaldo j. ulloa jimenez check with other drillers in your area. The geology in your area might be better handeled by a rotary or down the hole air rotary.
Richard, the engine is only working to pick up the drill stem. After the spudding arm starts to drop the drill gravity takes over and the engine is coasting. You want an engine speed that lets that happen.
Gary looks like your formations are not too bad. Post more videos . Love these old rigs!
I'm not English. But I look like

I worked on a similar one many years ago, around 1959. Owner was Homer Elliott in Rome NY area. Was one of the best jobs I have had.
Thanks for a nice drilling work...
Man I love to see cable rig still kicking ass, no other rig will ever drill a cleaner well or fish out faster!
@Kate g they definitely have their place here in FL. I'd like to get me one
Did a lot of this growing up. Used to tie a string on the cable to see how far we were drilling down. Dressing tools was a lot of fun as well
I found one of these rigs in the mountains in the Philippine, but never knew what it is until now. It's been abandoned for many years..
Ando perforando en el estado de Querétaro. México
Looks like =you have some pretty good drilling Gary !
nice one . i wish one day to have that machine
thanks for the video
Thank you for sharing that
Are you still using the old 33??? They were an amazing rig ! There cannot be many left?

Very very good
E não e fácil eu tenho anos nessa área conheço bem
Good living mate, i'm kinda jealous.
Does this take SPT and undisturbed samples? what maximum depth can it reach?
water well not geotech holmes
You could take split spoon I guess
You could try split spoon but you'd have your spoon full in one blow lmao
How do you make bailer New to cable tool drilling , I'm planning to make one ..? Hope you are interested in helping with someone experience
Did you ever get a bailer figured out?

Pictures and video would help. Any rig company should be able to help find drill pipe and drill stem. What kind of material are you drilling in.
How deep is max for this rig? in feet rating
It’s rated to drill 1,200 ft. I’m sure that would depend on cable diameter and size and weight of drill tools. It has different settings for changing the length of drilling stroke.
This has got to be the strongest feller on the planet, pulling up and down that drill steel with just one hand.😉

شيأ حلو 🤗🙄
Too much slack.
