i really enjoyed the crane rebuild series Jeff and got to hand it to you on over coming each hurdle but now onto using it on the big D9 project cant wait !
Great video Jeff really enjoyed watching you rebuild the Galion crane the finish line is in sight. Looking forward to seeing it remove the engine out of the D9. Thanks for bringing us along Jeff Wins 🏆
25 years ago I was a field service for a company that sold and rented new Terex cranes and other construction equipment. Every once and awhile I would get sent out to a customers to work on those older cranes like that one. I hated it!! They were an absolute pain in the rear, and generally nasty and cobbled together. Watching you gave me flashbacks of them. Lol Although yours looks like a pretty straight and decent looking machine. I remember Pettibone made a similar machine.
Just a few details for the Galion to be the star of the next step in the crawler work over. Thanks for bringing us along Jeff. Best Wishes to everyone at Anderson Construction.
The gallon was the unit we left the keys in or gave the wrong address to the lowboy driver just trying to "get rid of a nightmare" it was so strong you couldn't overload it without really getting stupid ,but a SOB to fix the manuals weren't complete and left critical stuff out ! That upper boom fitting had adjustment on it from what I recall so you would be able to sync the crowd cylinder with the main boom ,been a long time I might be FOS ! You just amaze me all the time you have relationships with your equipment as do I I watched my dad keep up equipment that were thrown away and use them for decades we didn't have the money for everything we needed but I remember that dam crane beat me up more than anything else! Wish you luck great content god bless you and yours
When you put the counter weight back, use blue Locktite or the equivalent on the threads. Not 2 or 3 drops. Put it on like someone else is paying for it. It’s better than anti-seize for this. The key is it’s anaerobic. Keeps out air. If it keeps out air, it keeps out water, and rust. Works on foundation drilling rigs, on even larger bolts. If you don’t have one of those Parker- Hannifin rigs to filter hydraulic oil (on a hand truck like affair), see if you can borrow or rent one to run your hydraulic oil through to get the water out. Might save you some headaches down the road. Good luck and take care.
Jeff, I loved it. I even yelled for you when you let the steel get your flesh while instalating the shaft😉Can’t wait to see it lift an engine. Winner winner chicken dinner.
Now to repair the engine so that it will start and run smoothly. So it looks like you have a new degree MGR. (Master of Galion Repair.) Great series. Amazing how complex those things are. Excelsior!
Great work Jeff! I do recognize everything costs money … but … a big jib crane out on that pad would look totally awesome! Great YT content too! Thanks for sharing your time with us. Rob
we had those Galion's and other similar styles while I was a heavy equipment operator serving in the USAF 1982-92 time frame. They were handy as a shirt pocket. I never saw one in such bad shape even ones in service today.
G'day Jeff , Great vid , really enjoyed this series. Seeing that beast slowly come back from the dead was a real joy . Im sure it must give you a great sense of pleasure , your definitely on a winning streak. Looking forward to seeing it back at work , lifting that engine out . Congratulations. Respect....!
Awesome!….can’t wait to see it pick up that big cat engine…that’s what I’ve been dying to see…you taking apart that engine for whatever the reason for taking it apart is!…great video as usual!
I am glad to hear you won against this machine. Some jobs can be stubborn, you just have to stick to it and you can get it done or hire someone else to help you out. Thanks for the videos.
Damn it Jeff, I’d sure like to see you working out of one of those little “GenieLift” man lift crows nest “thingy’s”… working with that big ass impact, instead of working off of a ladder. I’m a “feared” that you are gonna slip and take a tumble…, and get yourself laid up and “f’ed-up”. Be damn careful..! Yes, have thoroughly enjoyed this crane series, Thank you sir.
Oh that that ingersoll rand electric 1 inch cant you undo that allen head bolt on the handle and rotate the handle position on it or not? Just looks like it would be able to i have the Milwaukee one and power for that comes down needing there biggest battery possible not sure if ingersoll is the same way maybe get a bigger batteries for it and have more power
Incredible job Jeff! Damn, she fought you every inch oof the way. Your picture needs to be in the dictionary beside the word 'perseverance', with the footnote, Jeff Wins!
Don't declair "Jeff Wins" before you're completely done. A machine will fight you every time. Just my experience as a senior citizen. Premature "Jeff Wins" will kick you're butt. There is no win until the jobs completely done! Ha, Ha.
Jeff, Hang the impact of the service truck boom, I also suggest filling the bolt holes with silicone to keep the water out. Would it be possible to drill two 1/2" holes in the top of the counter weight and thread them got eyebolts to lift from?
You can't have too many small springs, screws and bolts in your collection of parts. Nice work, Mr. Jeff! It is always interesting working on old equipment without proper manuals etc. Some stuff was designed by idiots! That's for sure. G'day from Tasmania, the island under "down under"
I remember thinking from the previous video, those two side holes should lift that counterweight OK. But, I wasn't sure since I couldn't see all the details of the CWT. Well, now you are one of the more knowledgeable people who are able to work on these old Galion's! Galion Pride. You did inspire me to go watch the Torque Test Channel - watched the IR vs Milwaukee 1" impact. The IR does have more scoot, but if it is hard to use...that doesn't matter. Maybe I'll try the Milwaukee one of these days. It's big enough for anything I'll use it for.
My trigger sticks and that's super dangerous, you could loose a hand! we'll find out how much torque it has when I start putting new rollers on killdozer
We us the milwaukee 1 in drive impact alot at work on the railroad. It's real handy but I question the torque ratings. Certain things we have to go back to either our hyd impacts or even just our 4 ft hand wrenches. It's great though for if you just got a couple things to loosen or tighten.
I know from past experience it is fun rebuilding equipment but my wife has always stated it would have been a lot cheaper if I just dragged it down to auction sold it and bought a better one. But it is the challenge. REALLY
It was a little touch and go, but Jeff wins in the end! She put up a good fight though. We are looking forward to the next installment and upcoming D9 tear down.
You're going to go nuts if you ever retire. Look at all that problem solving you've done, Sudoku won't cut it. Wish I could've come back and give you a hand. Talk to you soon.
Hi 👋 Jeff I heard you talk about Warren, let me tell you are of the same cut of man as he no quit in you guys. That is the reason I tune in. Wishing you much success on your D9H project. ps I think Warren probably learned from you OLD GUYS RULE 😆 And remember never forget JEFF WINS!
@@Jpaydirt ya know jeff I hadn't really noticed that, but could you had welded a piece of stock to the counter weight, in extreme conditions I suppose it wouldn't be practical, I really enjoy your show brother indeed I hope you never get tired of making content
Hey Jeff have you checked the glow plugs on the engine for the Gallon crain ? I have a couple pieces of equipment that has that engine and they definitely need to have the glow plugs to start .
They quit working the day it went into the shop, I've checked the push button and it's sending power to the wire but somewhere in the harness it's got a problem
Question.... Are you going to check the cable for any defects or rusted braids. I really don't want to see a broken cable video. Because a cable doesn't break unless there is something on the other end of it.😁 Nice job and a great piece of Arsenal to add to the fleet.👍
@@JpaydirtYep change the cable. Had about the same crane break the cable while lowering the dump cylinder on a mack tri axle in the early eighties. I was the mechanic guiding it standing behind the cab. Somehow the cylinder tipped away from me and the shive block smashed the top of the cab. Closest I came to getting killed in 40 years wrenching for a highway dirt contractor. Remember it like yesterday. Pat from northwest WI

I can’t believe the previous owners abused the crane. You have repaired/replaced/rebuilt the crane. Very impressive work!
Yes, Jeffs a good mechanic ! He gets her done.

The manuals definitely leave you scratching your head, they use a relief valve so you can two block it and it will overcome the winch
It's been a fun series to watch.. You're lucky to have that crane... Now the D9 comes apart!! 😎
Looking for some fords to restore..................I hear that's where the money is......or went LOL

Thanks for the advice on the filter, I did some research and found I need a coalescing filter, I may have to buy one

17:50 Nothing beats a Hydraulic torque wrench. 48:00 Yup that sleeve needs to come out.
we had those Galion's and other similar styles while I was a heavy equipment operator serving in the USAF 1982-92 time frame. They were handy as a shirt pocket. I never saw one in such bad shape even ones in service today.
G'day Jeff ,
Great vid , really enjoyed this series.
Seeing that beast slowly come back from the dead was a real joy .
Im sure it must give you a great sense of pleasure , your definitely on a winning streak.

Congratulations.
Respect....!
Awesome!….can’t wait to see it pick up that big cat engine…that’s what I’ve been dying to see…you taking apart that engine for whatever the reason for taking it apart is!…great video as usual!
Yep enjoyed following along bro and look forward to see it in action around ya yard. Safe travels. Ken.
Awesome stuff Jeff!!! I’ve often wondered why you don’t have a few lifts of Safeway scaffold for when you’re working off the ground
I am glad to hear you won against this machine. Some jobs can be stubborn, you just have to stick to it and you can get it done or hire someone else to help you out.
Thanks for the videos.
Damn it Jeff, I’d sure like to see you working out of one of those little “GenieLift” man lift crows nest “thingy’s”… working with that big ass impact, instead of working off of a ladder. I’m a “feared” that you are gonna slip and take a tumble…, and get yourself laid up and “f’ed-up”.
Be damn careful..!
Yes, have thoroughly enjoyed this crane series,
Thank you sir.
oh I'm super aware of where I am and what I do up there and I'm really aware of the possible death that would come from falling

Mr. Griffy approved this message
What a b buster. All that so you can get into another project. Like Old Man River you just keep rolling along. Like your choice of music too👍🏽
Nice! Good job thanks for sharing your story! When Jeff wins we all win.
Good job Jeff, you can brag about the fact that you got yours done before Curtis did. LOL
Nice music there Taco!
Dang good show! Ya got it done faster than the purple car. Nice work Jefferson. Might advance the timing a bit on the roosamaster?
Great video 👍 Really enjoyed the Ingersoll rand promo 😂 Jeff win's 😅
Great video
Great work, congratulations Jeff!! D9 time now right?
Well done,!
thank you Jeff i enjoy watching you whatever ya rebuild just gentle on yer fingers lol
That was a good bunch of videos and Jeff wins your about ready for a little rest
Soon he will be picking everything in the yard. Lol picking and grinning Jeff
Great job buddy thanks for sharing
Great job Jeff
Once you get cover off. Think about spliting the cover, or making a two peice cover, that can be opened for maintenance with counter weight in place.
It's got a set screw on the end to hold the backlash on the one way clutch, bad design
Oh that that ingersoll rand electric 1 inch cant you undo that allen head bolt on the handle and rotate the handle position on it or not? Just looks like it would be able to i have the Milwaukee one and power for that comes down needing there biggest battery possible not sure if ingersoll is the same way maybe get a bigger batteries for it and have more power
keep up the good work
Great proponent of the Jones family motto 'Persevere & Do'. Jeff wins again ! 💪👍
Incredible job Jeff! Damn, she fought you every inch oof the way. Your picture needs to be in the dictionary beside the word 'perseverance', with the footnote, Jeff Wins!
Woo Hoo!!! Jeff wins. Now you can move on to bigger things.Literally.
how much do we like being up to our elbows in grease and oil i used to not more good you for your perserence love yr work
Don't declair "Jeff Wins" before you're completely done. A machine will fight you every time. Just my experience as a senior citizen. Premature "Jeff Wins" will kick you're butt. There is no win until the jobs completely done! Ha, Ha.
It tries to kick my ass but I kick back..........even harder LOL
Great job as always, Jeff!!
Good afternoon from Southeast South Dakota

Nampa, it's next to Boise
love to see you work
Nice work Jeff, FOR SALE! Slightly used recently repaired! Now Jeff wins! …lol
Jeff, Hang the impact of the service truck boom, I also suggest filling the bolt holes with silicone to keep the water out. Would it be possible to drill two 1/2" holes in the top of the counter weight and thread them got eyebolts to lift from?
I can’t wait to see the D9H repairs!!

I paid $3,500 for it, a better one would cost..................? 50K
Nice Job Mr. Paydirt Never a doubt you would Win.
That old Girl should serve you well.
TGP
Stubborn as Corgy!
JEFF WINS?!!! So need a drive in the purple people eater… get a good burger and shake- to celebrate!!!!
Awesome job, NC USA 🇺🇸
well done jeff
Lookin good. Can’t wait to see it lift some mighty CAT parts…
Outstanding AF! Jeff Wins!
On to d-9 repair videos yeah!!
It was a little touch and go, but Jeff wins in the end! She put up a good fight though. We are looking forward to the next installment and upcoming D9 tear down.
One last thing to do on it. Make it start better. Oh and find a new back glass 😁😁
Jeff WINS YESSSS!!!
You're going to go nuts if you ever retire. Look at all that problem solving you've done, Sudoku won't cut it. Wish I could've come back and give you a hand. Talk to you soon.
Well done Jeff!
Mr Paydirt, was you working on a skidoo or 8V71 Detroit? It was smoky in dat building. 😮😅😅😅😊
If this was easy Jeff it wouldnt be as much fun.
You will get it!
ENDEVER TO PERSAVIRE!
Epic Battle on the ladder 😮
Now I ges we will see some work on the D9 ay lol ...nice when it all comes together...
hey jeff i realy miss you doing the white board
Don't hurry the keep working area free , not time for the weight..
And YES Jeff Wins again...
Legend
Should of got that guy with the New Holland back-hoe to hold that Ingersoll Rand for you😂😂
Great job as always.
You sure about that LOL
Well yeah!😂
Don't forget to replace that back glass so your customers can see what the heck you're doing.
Are you still married after the Gallion😊 I tip my hat most would have given up a long time ago.
Hi 👋 Jeff I heard you talk about Warren, let me tell you are of the same cut of man as he no quit in you guys. That is the reason I tune in. Wishing you much success on your D9H project.
ps I think Warren probably learned from you OLD GUYS RULE 😆 And remember never forget JEFF WINS!
Tuyệt vời 🎉❤❤
Jeff , I thought you already had 1 but anyway a torque multiplier , that would be a testimony to it's worth if one had such of a thing
There wasn't anything to secure the torque multiplier to
@@Jpaydirt ya know jeff I hadn't really noticed that, but could you had welded a piece of stock to the counter weight, in extreme conditions I suppose it wouldn't be practical, I really enjoy your show brother indeed I hope you never get tired of making content

good job, now get one of the D9S in
When you are all done Jeff make a rule feet down before any movement are made,good content as always team
Question....
Are you going to check the cable for any defects or rusted braids.
I really don't want to see a broken cable video. Because a cable doesn't break unless there is something on the other end of it.😁
Nice job and a great piece of Arsenal to add to the fleet.👍
yes I'm concerned about it, what's on the spool is good and greasy but from the spool to the hook it's rusty......bad
@@JpaydirtYep change the cable. Had about the same crane break the cable while lowering the dump cylinder on a mack tri axle in the early eighties.

Man the previous owners got every damn hour they could out of that machine. But once again, Jeff wins.
Unwavering Tenacity and Mind over matter (and frustrating issues) = Jeff Wins!
Tight bolts need oil on the threads if that doesn't work use a tap
Jeff check out diesel creek with Matt and his Galion grader he always refers to as Christine, who has tried to kill him.
What's the long term plan for the crane beyond the D9? Just use it around home or is this the start of a new business? Anderson Crane Service?
Well alot of people need help with their erection 😅
Now I suspect that there’s a D9 engine that needs hoisting.
Used cranes are plentiful back here in Ohio and lots in Texas
Polka Polka....
Jeff wins
Just remember
If man made it, man can fix it
May I suggest a...Grove.
Jeff Wins!!
Steel feels no pain
Tenacious J....
Quite impressive, doing it all on your own. No wife filming an editing…all Jeff
What about the head lights? Lol
Can't wait for more d9
You need bigger SD cards Jeff 😂
I fixed it
