@@keithwarkentin I did have another one that I sold, and unfortunately this one and the 22B both need to be sold also.

Thank for for the kind words. If youtube hadn’t changed their editor and made editing videos much more difficult a few years ago, I would still be making videos. Unfortunately, I will be relocating at the end of next year and may have to sell both my machines. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Thanks. I think on most machines you pull back on the levers. I know that after a couple hours, pushing on the levers gets pretty rough. Those old timers were a tough bunch.

It is to grease the big ring gear in the lower frame that revolves the upper works.

@@jac5344 on the bigger Draglines we put Crater (like tar) on the ring gear ⚙️ the pinion gear teeth also, talking about the 88-Bs and the Lima 2400s here. The little cranes you put whatever on them as long as you’re not letting any Metal to Metal wear take place, is THAT what you’re getting at.??

Yes that’s it.

👍

@@jac5344 s of 30 e of 49?

SW P. County just south of Rt 8. There is also a 30B on Rt 6 east of Westville.

@@jac5344 im in Washington township

Smallest schools in the county. We are in Boone Twnshp.

I would think so. I know the levers for drag and raise get flipped for clamshell operation if that is what you mean. If you mean reversing the operation of the levers (pulling in to engage instead of pushing), I am not sure if that can be done.

Wondering is the machine running? If so, if their is any pressure on the lock, it won’t release. You usually have to attempt to swing the machine right or left to get the pressure off the lock. If the machine is not running you would have to use a tractor or loader to try to swing the machine a little bit. If neither is the case, then the linkage for the lock is froze up. From underneath the machine look upwards for the big ring gear inside the lower works to find the house lock. I was able to use a pry bar on my 10B to set the house lock when it wouldn’t engage. Hope this helps.

@@jac5344 Yes thanks it's running and we did a little swing movement you could feel it hit a lock.. Will climb under and have a look, was just asking in case it was a well know problem with the 22. My 10B has same house lock as your early 10b video and I have the same bad steering, I'll try to put new material on the brake shoes see if it get better. I got a bunch of lining material and rivets a few years back from a shop in Newark Nj they've been making friction clutch linings for a 100 years, good old fashion stuff with lots of brass which they recommend for these old time machine's as they transfer the heat to the drums very efficiently. Have to look back see if I can find the company name. Thanks for getting back to me so fast hope to stay in touch. Scott

Yes, I am relocating in a couple years and can’t take it with me.

@@jac5344 what's a relic like that worth? Looks cool I operate manitowoc 4600 and 4100 and american 9310 dredging and pile driving I would like too have something like that in my back yard for the kids too play with.

I am going to ask 12.5k. If it doesn’t sell, I will probably throw in the 10B and ask double that amount.

Oh yes the old 955 and 951 and 977 caterpillar ...! That was my first piece of heavy equipment to learn on

Bruce, I did get a window made for the machine. I believe I explain the saga of such in another video.

Nice, it can be a lot of work, but a great spare time project. A little difficult to operate at first, but pretty difficult to actually get good at operating.

3/8 of a yard.

Thanks Mario, glad you enjoyed. Wish I could post more videos of the machines operating, but I’ve got no one to do the filming and I am at extreme odds with the you-tube video editor.

Yes, center drive shaft is correct. The inside of the lower frame has a large ring gear. A small gear extending from the bottom of the house frame rides inside the ring gear and turns the house.

Thanks! Usually when people are done with these machines they just want them gone. You got a great deal.

Great stuff! Glad you enjoyed, and I’ve got to give the Borax a try. 👍

That’s a great story. What does dog the house down mean? I’ve heard of the borax for the brakes before.

Maximum Hardcore it means use the locking lever to block the cab from swiveling. When you switch from swinging the cab right and left to traveling forward and reverse you use the same control lever. So when traveling you have no way to control the cab from swinging. And the slightest bit of unlevel ground could cause the cab and boom to swing out of control. A very scary mistake. Dogging just meant locking the cab in old timey language. ( being 80 yo some people have the nerve to call me old timey! Lol)

@@robertodemorto6024 got it, cool to know and something else I’ve learnt about these 22’s. I’ve played on one as a little kid that was dredging a pond near where I grew up and that has always left an impression on me and I would love the chance to run one someday. Thank you very much for your time and great answer to my question.
