You could sell a fast idle stick with a prosthetic foot on the end. Call it the fast idle Peg leg!

History in the making, unmodifying something on Deboss Garage 😂

[@dancearoundtheworld5360]

Make it barely run then perfect the work youve done 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@DIGGER19860]

My dad used to do all the marketing and promotional films for upright. Right up until they went out of business. I remember playing with sissor lifts when i was a kid. They built every one of them in oakland california.

[@OTAlucard]

I just love to see people taking old stuff and refurbishing it.

[@tinkermouse-scottrussell3738]

Thanks for taking the time to video this one, enjoyed watching this one all come together. Play Safe From Elliot Lake Ontario Canada.

[@davidsawyer1599]

The best modification was disconnecting the beeper when the machine is moving.

[@brianhaw9398]

You didn't go through the drive-thru at Timmies. I'm disappointed. Runs great though

[@Heysupdan]

Love the “Furze” shirt, another epic KZbinr! And swapping a Diesel engine is absolutely genius

[@540i6vids]

Check your hydraulic oil with it extended all the way up, you might be out (from filling the cylinders) so the jib doesn't have enough to move

[@Adam_Poirier]

I work on these for a living.. genie is the WORST to work on. JLG is so much neater and more thought out, easier to troubleshoot and diagnose.. My hat off to you Rich for all the nice work on this one

[@wobblysauce]

It is a nice design... the engine engines and the machine machines.

[@nemanjadelic7364]

Jig is better for resolved problem

[@davetomlinson1288]

jlg has a great operating system and the hand held analyzer is very helpful for troubleshooting

[@halldorra]

It,s nice to have a "CAT "specialist overlooking your work ;-)

[@JimLahey21]

Nice yellow Perkins

[@RonSales]

Heat gun and make it bubble up over the back of the pump for the clearance you need, I ran one of those when we did the siding on my house and trimmed the trees along the north fence and put up my antenna on the south side of the house.

[@ginggur17]

Very very impressed Rich. The fact you have sorted the wiring etc etc, spot on. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇨🇦🇬🇧🇨🇦🤜🤛

[@adamisakson2]

The problem with hooking up the starter cut to the oil pressure sensor is when your cranking when it’s cold and she doesn’t quite want to fire she will build pressure and kill the starter on you

[@winstoncryer7606]

Knuckle booms are so darn handy if you really know how to use them so versatile useful

[@bowmarsh]

You are a true engineer, I enjoyed every moment of watching your ingenuity

[@irocz235]

That is one nice unharnessed workman catapult you have 😉

[@bigunone]

That happened on a job site I was on, with another company. They were swinging an I beam in over the motor and somehow it came loose and catapulted two guys to their death. Big safety meeting the next day with our company

[@cornfed123567]

@@bigunone manlifts arent something to mess around with, i work for a major rental company and we have policies about customers not using harnesses that force us to shut job sites down. people dont realize that a foot drop on the back wheels will send operators flying, even in transport mode

[@wobblysauce]

Yep, they can move off-road, but normally not at extension... as any little movement at the base gets multiplied on the arm.

[@cornfed123567]

@@wobblysauce had a genie that the out of transport switch was stuck in transport mode, at 60 feet out it would drive at full speed. Customer called in for a hydraulic leak, and I asked them if they knew it was going full speed elevated they said yeah, and it was fine it kept them awake

[@wobblysauce]

@@cornfed123567 That it does... and to make sure the path is nice and clear.

[@fucksusanwojcicki]

taking into consideration, the INCREDIBLE amount of appropriate hackery going on here, i absolutely LOVE this monstrosity

[@mikeznel6048]

I wish I could find plywood to finish my shed thats not 80 dollars a sheet. Finding an abandoned man lift would certainly be nice too.

[@7eis]

Part out your house and you'll be a millionaire✌️

[@CrimeVid]

That sounds excessive ! mind you I live in the UK, but the first price I came across is structural hardwood throughout 3/4” £23.02 Shuttering ply, all softwood 3/4” £ 26.36 these include taxes !

[@teddekkerfan92]

I don't know where you live however in Texas the plywood is 50-60 dollars at the local home Depot

[@mikeznel6048]

@@teddekkerfan92 Unfortunately where I live is considered new york... I'm 15 minutes from Canaderp, the country farms and hills part of ny. We're stuck with a crazy greedy nutso governor who is affiliated with the left... Sht you not, a 2x4x8 is 11 dollar. A sheet of exterior grade 3/4 plywood is 82 dollars... Its insane... I could have sworn they made that illegal a long time ago.

[@CrimeVid]

@@mikeznel6048 something very wrong there ! I may be teaching my granny to suck eggs but try finding a specialist who only sells board goods or split a pallet with a neighbor, I will guarantee you can get the price down, I can always get a better price if I work at it hard enough !

[@persistentwind]

Next month on deboss garage - replacing a fuel pump on a Saturn.

[@tallguy8452]

A fresh coat of red paint or maybe some flames would make the lift awesome! Great job Rich, love this video

[@anomamos9095]

Reposition the hinges to give clearance to the pump. Just move the hood away from the pump by shifting the hinges a bit and maybe put in a small spacer.

[@mikehunt8375]

I followed your advice and I've never been happier! Thank you DeBoss garage!

[@hassenfepher]

Nice intro. Short. Funny. Saved the music is synced nice to the light coming on.

[@thats10guy91]

Ok now once the manlift hydraulics bite the dust you can cat swap a bronco2 lol. My little pony meets hello kitty.

[@sixtyfiveford]

That's awesome

[@mmdebacker]

Cool, another video about the uprich manlift👍

[@thunderdick6117]

I don't think you needed a lift to change that lite in the begining but you have a lift now . Try knocking a huge hole in your kitchen wall so you can use it to get things on the top shelf of your cabinets . TOTAL OVERKILL IS THE WAY TO GO!!!

[@juleskier5ninedsl]

This must be one of the only upright man lifts that still works. I work for United Rentals and we’ve had a customers 80’ Upright that he’s tried to get our techs to fix. Thing caught fire in our yard after it had sat for over 6 months. Can’t find parts anymore. The owner is finally jimmying it to bring the axles in so we can load it on our trailer and haul it away to his place. Awesome you got this unit working minty though.

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

Don't you just love relays!! I keep a box full in my shop at all times.

[@ajwilson605]

Imagine how popular you're gonna be come Christmas decorating season....!

[@FoolOfATuque]

That intro was amazing. lol! Also 1/2 inch clearance is loads of clearance

[@Hanzyscure]

If the jib rotates half inch may be tight.

[@mikeaho4143]

Great job on the vid Rich and great explanations on the workings. Thanks !

[@DGHD]

Thanks!

[@sacasanova]

Best intro ever!

[@gregdiaz5788]

Nice job

[@TheFurriestOne]

Not only can you see your house from there, you can see over your house!

Sweet project rich

[@bigsid1984]

Sweet machine

[@Moonsauc3]

What can't you diesel swap? Awesome vid.

[@drewnelson6463]

Working much better than factory. Nice😃

[@davidfleishman2275]

Great project.Hope that unit passes Xray inspect for recertification.

[@MATHOMPYAM]

Been at the top of a 125 ... that was a bit sketchy but we got her done lol trust urs more then I trust a rental lol

[@azlandpilotcar4450]

Definitely needs four turbos.

[@melchristian8876]

Yes it is a good day

[@bigunone]

Who else was expecting lightning strike the boom just as he got it topped out. I have spent many an hour up in the basket.

[@barrylinkiewich9688]

Yep. I'm jealous, I have never actually needed a man lift outside of work but it'd be fun to play with.

[@mattslandscaping4246]

Good job man

[@rickbarger5161]

That's the biggest Jerry can I ever saw you crack me up the gas isn't good enough for the boom but it's good enough for the car LOL

[@mikepagel1021]

The lift is now a diesel engine.

[@BonsCreeperReaper]

I don't think that boom would run on any gas no matter how good it is. You know... because it's diesel now

[@olivertomlinson5437]

Big thing to check is the basket swivel, they like to get stuck at 80 odd degrees when the piston in the motor bypasses

[@mikeznel6048]

Nice

[@KCDrives]

Damn you Rich for making my life easier! How dare you!

[@NotJo4Ever13]

Thumbs up on the COVID haircut Rich! How's lockdown treating you? Hey-oh from south of Ottawa!

[@DGHD]

Getting a pile of work done but not finding enough downtime...

[@davids0698]

05:13 i' pretty sure Derek over at #ViceGripGarage has got the same "hood hold'er upper 3000" as you got there!

[@kellytaylor3134]

GLOVES RICH

[@TechOne7671]

Class.

[@captaintoyota3171]

JIBs on Z lifts like that are limited when you are extended so far. The base isnt very wide so they dont want you levering too far out there. Maybe not but i have been on lifts that limit jib movement

[@95Z28A4]

I suggest wrapping the exhaust where it crosses the valve cover.

[@MyDuckfoot]

You need to rebrand it from “UpRight” to “UpTight” diesel powered man lift

[@RoseUnseen]

My back side had ptsd from the many ladder accidents lol

[@jfhistand7245]

Nice Furze shirt Rich!

[@smathet7766]

Get it NDT Tested and you are good to go.

[@milosjovanovic8141]

Nice t-shirt Colin

[@deadMoney2k12]

14:19 maybe a stick a small dome window on there for "safety observation" of the systems.

[@denniscouture5615]

When you flip the brake release cap it should pop out by itself most of the time if it sticks

[@jondavidmcnabb]

Rich is a Baller! The Canadian MacGyver.

[@tomanycooks]

that thumbnail is awesome. haha

[@miketanner1920]

More fun than you should be legally allowed to have Just Saying

[@eliwillis1]

Cool

[@johnknox5692]

very nice intro

[@cornfed123567]

the jib should work at any height, basket rotate should work at all times also, unless that company designed it to not, i dont know of any reason they would since all other manufactures i have worked on allow both of those functions to always work. your rotater might be bad for the platform rotate. jibs usualy wont have a sensor for up but will usualy have a sensor for max down

[@raymondwallace1031]

This is great haha

[@josh33025]

I'm sure if I scroll down I'll see some comments about you not having a harness on lol. TO THE MOON!

[@danf4616]

It may have been (still is?) a mechanical POS, but it's still an impressive machine I think (68ft working height). WTG, Rich!

[@ThatPhilBurgGuy]

Better paint the ceiling in the shop now

[@cornboy3]

LED light bulbs?! Rich is going green!

[@assassinlexx1993]

At that rub spot glue a sheet of steel or a piece of sidewall from a tire to stop it from rubbing a hole in the fiberglass.

[@DGHD]

Will do, Thanks!

In the top you can't adjust the jip and al the way down you can...maybe low on hydraulic fluid?

[@matthewbiehn9653]

Most scissor lifts don't have hub freewheel pins like that. Rough terrain boom lifts all do though. k

[@mkoldewijn]

@colinfurze represent

[@sickstringbender1364]

Do the wheels extend outfrom the dolly? Some of them go in and out to be able to load on a flatbed and make it more stable since its 4x4 and meant for rougher sites

[@SManninen]

Excellent! But the way you hooked the starter with oil pressure sensor... What about in cold weather, when you need to crank the motor more for it to start up, and when it builds up the oils pressure, the starter switch disconnects?

[@DGHD]

Good point! Never thought about that. Ether install kit in the intake I guess!

[@eugeneasmakov2251]

Now you don't need a drone 🤙

[@blakedismuke3656]

If a CCV has a catch can I would always want it going back to the turbo intake its when they dont have a catch can that I say late her go to the clouds lol

[@djmoody4280]

I LOVE your work and have always LOVED your channel! The last couple videos I have watched have had an excessive amount of ads. Maybe that is the intention, maybe you didn’t know. I will continue to try to watch but it makes it so hard to focus.

[@DGHD]

Sorry man, KZbin places the ads but that is how we are able to do what we do.

[@iainfreer2638]

Can you provide details on the electronic throttle control you have on order please? I have a forklift I would like to rig up to throttle up rather than having to manually pump the pedal

[@chloehennessey6813]

Run some hot oil through the valves?

[@MFKR696]

One mechanic at a crane/lift-rental shop I used to work at said man-lifts were the worst type of equipment he had ever worked on. There's so much electronic and hydraulic shit crammed into those things that it's bound to drive one to insanity lol. For reference, they use JLG and Genie lifts exclusively. Those things don't *have* Gremlins. They *are* Gremlins lol.

[@psygn0sis]

This was certainly a fun project to follow you on! Are you keeping it or selling it?

[@nicostenfors5690]

Think he is keeping it, he mentioned something about saving the engine when the lift wears out.

[@phillipbremer7715]

Just use light or wire current follow path shows way

[@CajunGreenMan]

1:30 How much lube does it take for a diesel mechanic's pin to pop out?! ;) LOL!
