When you lifted the anvil at the end I assumed you did all this because you were having a coyote problem.

[@TheBtw1997]

Nah he has a roadrunner problem 🤣

[@1pcfred]

@@TheBtw1997 Jimmy should have put ACME on the side of that crane.

Comment of the year! 🤣

[@MrBtmatt]

Lol. Got to be OG to get that one

[@DILLIGAF65]

I love seeing an old piece of history brought back to life. Great job as always.

[@pyro323]

Eric from Hand Tool Rescue is probably jealous he didn't get to do this restore with you guys. Great job Jimmy this crane will be working for the next 100 years thanks to you guys! 👍

[@HandToolRescue]

Very!

[@jimmydiresta]

He would slowed the entire process but doing it “correctly” 😄😄

[@girliedog]

I absolutely love that thing. My mind is spinning with modern versions for small maker shops.

[@stefandieter4044]

Hello it's nice connecting with you, how's your day going for you over there?

[@joelonderee2872]

I could watch this video all day!

[@jimbecker5675]

One of the things I enjoy about your presentations is that they are always interesting and engaging, enven for things I'd never consider doing. Bravo on this one!

[@RookieLock]

That was awesome.. Great to see an old rig like that cleaned up and working again.. Really enjoyed that !

[@OriginalRaveParty]

If machinery could talk, it would speak proudly about how it had been restored to its original glory after so many years of work and unloved wear. Great video 👍

[@pathallock7868]

Beautiful restoration. Never ceases to amaze me how you take old tools/equipment and make them "new" again. Now you have a mobile shop crane for most all your needs. AWESOME!!

[@mm9773]

What a beauty. Puts all the fun into moving a thing from here to there.

[@protect.your.digits.creations]

Raising this workhorse from the prison of Rustville is so great to watch . If anybody didn't learn something from this video then they're dead in the head. As always it was Educational and Entertaining all in one easy to follow format. Stay well to Forest , Willie and you my brother

[@WHATAGIRLWANTS2009]

Another great restoration of a peice of history that will serve your needs for years to come! Thanks Jimmy!

[@jacobarmstrong8646]

Always good to see him breathing life back into old...old school equipment. When you cranked the handle, it sounded like a rollercoaster climbing!

[@HandToolRescue]

The chosen one.

[@jasonsummit1885]

Love seeing a restoration of an old tool that will actually be put back to work. Awesome job, and hope it will be used for another 100 or so years.👍

[@greglamphier4430]

Love these tool restoration videos. It’s awesome to see the craftsmanship and engineering that went into it all, thanks for sharing! Love the custom logo to by the way! From one upstate New Yorker to another, thanks for inspiring Jimmy!

[@springwoodcottage4248]

Fabulous job! Must have been such a blessing & back saver for the folk who made cars & trucks with its swan neck lines & easy lifting: Robot if it’s day! Thanks for sharing!

[@scottwebster7613]

What a gorgeous piece of history!

[@AJB2K3]

Alway great to see old equipment restored.

[@BradleyRhea]

That thing is fantastic

[@jeffsmith1858]

Nice gift!

[@davidegaleotti94]

Wow, square nuts are old school stuff! I've never thought they kept making them into the 1920s

[@maximinocastro]

That’s super cool Jimmy

[@popsworkshop7509]

I love these old tools, my Canton Crane is a little different but it's cool

[@brianmurillo4184]

I've been looking for one for year nice work looks awesome

[@danielmuscatell3603]

I love this video and I’ve never seen a lift like this. I can’t imagine how handy it is.

[@matthewjohnston1400]

I’d love to see a Tips video on clamping. I know it’s unrelated to this amazing restoration but I only hours ago launched my wood project from the drill press across the shop so it’s top-of-mind for me. I love this channel.

[@shahraadarbaaz28]

Glad to see you’re still uploading! I’ve been a fan since I was 11 years old I’m 21 now! Love your videos ! Even watched u on Discovery channel

[@jimmydiresta]

Wow thank you ☺️

[@samiam7]

I sure do enjoy watching your videos. Regardless of the project at hand

[@gregkrueger331]

This is by far the coolest cherry picker I’ve ever seen. I don’t really get jealous over builds but I’m kinda jealous of this one and wish it was in my garage instead.

[@garyjones2582]

Very nice work J.D.. Ready for another hundred years of service...

[@0xteknogeek]

"OWWW! hey, that's hot don't touch it" 😂🤣

[@MooreDoing]

Those bearings were gnarly. Nice restore 🍻

[@centerlinefabsolutions8918]

Nice work as always!

[@kyle.falconer]

Beautiful piece of machinery! I’d love to do some huge castings like this someday, and make something for moving equipment

[@stormyyoung6344]

Looks freaking cool

[@WillowDailyShorts]

Amazing!

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Pretty slick looking chain hoist you have there now. Great job

[@matthewb8229]

I have never seen bearings like the ones in the wheels. Really interesting design.

[@dcallan812]

Nice, and still very useful 👍👍

[@NickToland]

Awesome

[@CK-TD]

Would love to see @Handtoolrescue drop that in his magical evaporust barrel! 😃 this is amazing history. Love the vid as always. Love ❤️ from Texas.

[@garagemonkeysan]

Great video. That crane is way more complex than it looks. Nice restore. Rob is better than Google. His name should be a verb in like, "...just Rob it." Mahalo for sharing! : )

[@Rubbernecker]

Very nice!!!

[@lastborn8s]

I love that the chain crank is at wheel chair height …like back in the day they knew a man with a broken back could still be good labor!

[@garthbutton699]

Fitting that you used an old school monkey wrench during the restro and did you see those roller bearings in the wheel,can take them apart to service them,thanks Jimmy and your team for taking me back,and the bronze bushing update,thanks for the video🤗😎🤗😎

[@2d344]

beautiful

[@joshvandruff1790]

I swear there isn’t one older thing you couldn’t work on. Great job!
