1978 Hein Werner 25 ton Excavator Will It Start? Will it move?

[@larslarson2319]

I ran a Hein-Werner C 12 and a C 14 in the 79s digging basements and sewer lines. Good to see the machine run again.

Thanks for sharing Wayne, after 20 yrs of running a pair of 68 International Loadstars with those 6v53s. They make music for the sole! If you treat them right they'll last forever.

[@mjmcomputers]

I’ve got a Loadstar Firetruck with a 6v53 sitting in my driveway, much better option than the IH gasser.

[@Ol2Stroker]

Absolutely!!

Laughing my ass off: "anyone wanna tell Diesel Creek how to do this right?" 🤣 ... our thoughts exactly!! He does a lot of projects, but we've yet to see him complete one. 🤷‍♀️ Loving what you do ... 👍🇺🇲😎

[@wes11bravo]

I think he actually gets most of them done with a notable exception being the 50s Autocar. I'm pretty sure he's waiting on the body shop to finish the cab, or he's working on sourcing a replacement?

[@logansylvester8093]

He has completed many If you'd watch his channel lol. Although he has quite a few he is juggling

[@Vanbooskie]

Matt Completes most of his projects. He just doesn't show everything. These guys have alot on their plates with their normal work then on top of that they have to edit hours of video that they record. They do it by themselves too. And to add one more thing, they work normal jobs like the rest of us. These guys stay busy.

[@Vanbooskie]

@@logansylvester8093 that's the problem. They must not watch his videos all the way through.

[@Hard_Right]

@@Vanbooskie diesel creek doesn't work a normal job , and o don't think he actually does any "jobs " either ... maybe one or two but not like any real earthwork operation

[@nickpalazzi2121]

My father had a 1969 HW C12. It's amazing looking at this one you got and noticing how much more upgraded it is compared to the 69

[@jeffreykbevins7116]

Another great video, I enjoyed watching you joking, laughing and working on the old girl . She's a big one, and didn't realize tahat she was that big till later . You all got her fired up and she sounded good . Glad to see that you all got it running and back to working, I had never heard of that brand name before . I will see you all later, so take care and stay safe out there working . 🤗👍💫

[@starionslider2116]

“If anybody wants to get a hold of diesel creek and show him how to do this” had me rollin🤣. I knew exactly what vid you were referring to.

[@user-ln7of9gs4s]

Which one is that? Time stamp in the vid?

[@leonardkilburn3431]

I am amazed that it still has all the glass! Great job as always! Just picked up a shirt, need a lid to go with it … no pressure… Party on Wayne…

Cheers for taking us along on another Detroit Diesel resurrection. The diesel creek craic made me laugh. Have a good weekend mate 👍🏻🍺

[@barrygrant2907]

Meh. DC makes a better video and explains more. This is very rookie level. The head-mounted camera is annoying after a minute or two.

Hi from uk Wayne 👋👍 great job with excavator nice piece too 👌 when the line let loose you should of wiped whole machine down with expelled oil the covers and pump/line house came ip amazing 👌 thanks for your time be safe and see you soon 👍 👋

Great running 2stroker. I enjoyed watching you guys bring her back to life!

[@sendyexca1664]

This excavator is very old, but with great mechanics, this excavator is back again👍

[@BigDan7114]

I had to run them at 10 years old pulling levers for my father repairing them for area farmers and construction companies. Our muckland soils were constantly having the drainage ditches dug with hein Werner’s . Many house foundation septic fields. Buildings , even the nuclear plants near us. Cat took over in this area eventually.

The breakfast beer while working on old iron has a huge tick ✅ here mate 🤙🏼🇦🇺 love seeing this stuff as done in aus we don’t have that must old iron

Diesel creek is in my top 5 youtubers.. He does awesome work and getting great credit for his time and effort..ps nice work on this excavator. Don't call out over channels trying to put them down.

Mine too actually! Just breaking balls, that's what guys do.

[@liamfitzlive4679]

[@GDieball]

Glad to read it's just ball-busting. Dudes like Matt @ Diesel Creek, Andrew Camarata, and you guys too, have taught me a lot about a lot and have made me more confident to do my own work and not be so afraid of it. I respect them all

Wayne fighting the bees was absolute gold!!!

[@pursang101]

My old man had a Hein Warner on a 10 wheel drive Crane carrier chasis. We worked the hell out of that thing in the pit bailing gravel until the old Jimmy was so worn out it just wouldnt start anymore.I think it was built in 1967,it was ahead of its time as for speed and quality of build.

[@dennissastini3312]

The old truck is my favorite one on KZbin right now saying a lot because I do really love cabovers usually but that old 2 stroke and the paint scheme just sets it aside from the others

[@SchnelleKat]

Nice find wayne, those are kinda rare actually. HW didn't make excavators very long, and primarily used DD engs. I was told by a bunch of experienced old timers on the Heavy Equipment forums that almost all the parts on these are "Generic" and can be found. Only certain things is Specific to HW. I've always wanted a C12-HD.

[@rp1645]

Cole I think the FOOT controls where because of the early Hydraulic Excavator tryed to keep the same foot controls of the Brakes on a cable Excavator early Link Belt Hydraulic Hoes, had foot controls for function. I think a Lot of operator in the 70s. where use to using there feet.

[@PaulHigginbothamSr]

She sounds wonderful, better than the starter. With that much coolant in the pan one or more cylinders could have had the liner rusted. She sounds wonderful. I love her already.

[@DOSTALED]

Having owned a c14b 1979 model for more than thirty years and,cranked every bolt on it, I have to say the bean counters have worked overtime on it.

[@ff912]

Why can’t they make new stuff more like this? Fires right up after years of sitting, “simple” to operate and none of the emissions and electronic BS. Plus that Detroit scream 👍

[@danw1955]

Heh heh, after the bleeding of impure juices in the crankcase, I'm surprised that 6v53 started and ran that well!😄 The bee war was entertaining. I'm glad we don't have to deal with as many of those out west here. Considering what you were working with, and how long it sat, I'm surprised it made it out with only one broken hydraulic hose. Not too bad at all.. and it even starts from the cab! That's a real plus.😂👍

LOL @breakfast beers!! Sounds like more of a brunch beer to me. They still hit ya better at 11:00 AM than they do at 5:00... Beer and heavy equipment is fine as long as you know what the hell you're doing and you don't get too blitzed. This one morning at the beginning of covid, I cracked open a Bud at like 9:00, and by 11:30 I'd drank eight of them with no sign of slowing down. Oh what a buzz - like when I was a kid... Felt like shit after a few hours, and for the rest of the day. Wakin' and bakin' with beer is a thing!
