DIY Hoist for the Oliver OC-3 Crawler Loader

[@mark3863]

Low-Buck Garage is like therapy, it always leaves me with a positive attitude and a smile on my face; thank you.

[@beakittelscherz5419]

Not only That: I startet to get more relaxed about my own projects as well! and thats priceless. To be ok with " It works, lets try it out and leave the details fot later" is way more fun! He is absolutely right about projects need to be fun and not "to do lists"... Musti1 is also such a guy. he laughfs everything off that went wrong and rather get on with it, instead of talking himself down about failure.. . Thats a gift!

As mentioned earlier, the bolt holes in your blade are for fitting a sacrificial cutting edge to so you don't destroy the bucket. Always enjoy your videos! More!!!

How does he not have a million followers. In a world where every KZbinr goes over the top with time and money this man does what every other man on the planet would do and gets it done while painting over the rust and dirt. Fine adjustments indeed my guy. Looks factory fresh to me.

[@Tinker001]

Here's an idea for using the tractors hydraulics & still being able to listen for parts snapping. You could put an accumulator in place for the hoist. That way, you still have pressure for a bit after shutting the engine off. It looks like you have plenty of space inside that frame.

[@superfly99206]

a starter motor, reservoir, hydraulic pump, all electric pumping for the manual hoist, quieter, more fun

[@jerrywesterfield5636]

I've heard that a power steering pump will make decent pressure, just need a bigger tank.

This man is the ultimate high priest of janky genius. It takes incredible know how - both factual and instinctual, to see the potential in what others see as scrap, build the possibilities part way in your mind but mostly as you go, and have a sense of what you truly must get 'just right' vs what is "ok for purpose"

[@JRH666]

Totally agree with you. He’s a very smart man.

Hey look it is everyone's favorite junk yard engineer shop teacher . I am about to pick up a 97 F250 truck & I am going to follow hos lead on this project.

[@PaulinesPastimes]

Best looking Tractor/loader/engine hoist I've seen. As an aside, I have to tell you how useful I have found your mantra of "If you're not having fun, you're doing it wrong ". I have been doing various repairs on my car and this mantra has made me stop when the fun stops. Not having fun? Stop and have a cup of tea and a think. Works wonders for this tea drinking Aussie lady who is 71 and still fixes her own car. 😊👍

[@brianlubeck4184]

You could use an electric driven hydraulic pump to run that hoist. That way you can lift easy and still hear everything that's happening.

[@daleolson3506]

Those bolts are hardware grade. Grade 5 has 3 slash marks. I had the same problem at my local store. Soft and as weak as spaghetti.

[@trevorlewis8515]

Agreed, those are no grade 5. Tractor supply bulk bins are a great way to get legit herky bolts for low $$

[@TerryLawrence001]

That hoist needs an electric winch for quiet lifting after you set the boom height with engine hydraulics. I love the heavy hacking that you do. looking forward to the Low Buck Mine!

You built a very useful rig there, and it looks pretty good also👍, btw, you should hook it up to the pump, thanks for sharing.

[@karelvvv]

Maybe putting on a proper cutting edge on the bucket is a great idea!

[@johnwarmath1426]

That chain/ balance beam pocket would be a perfect place to mount a winch. Cut a couple notches, drill a couple holes, bolt some pulleys on that hoist and that would solve your noise issue if you went electric winch, could use hydraulic which too. It would also add weight to rear and versatility to the hoist. Eliminates the swing effect of lifting with the ram.

[@nelsonmattoon150]

That extra weight helped a lot

[@jonathantatler]

Always a good day with a new LowBuckGarage video

[@AgentJayZ]

Sir... you may have radically altered you band/chop/hack saw, but I noticed at 2:40 that it has a moving fence that adjusts for angled cuts. Usually that means the fixed fence can also be adjusted to do the same thing. Really like the work, the vids, and especially the attitude.

[@thisolesignguy2733]

lol everytime I see someone driving one of these little loaders, I always picture them going "warp speed Mr. Zulu!" then creep along....😂 "I joost cont do it captain! If I poosh her much more she's gonna blow!"

[@samsonthehairless8393]

I have read some good ideas about the hydraulic problem. All of them have merit. The quietest would be an accumulator cylinder. Either spring energy or air on one side of the middle located sliding piston. Perfect for the application of the rear mounted hoist. Limited volume required. Again, quietest solution only.

[@salty-9]

Once again requesting the 68 d200 from the mining site be built.

Great work on that crawler tractor, making her useful again, nice rear attachment. You might want to put a cutting edge on that bucket to save it , if your going to use it alot , thanks for sharing 👍💨💨

[@larryalexander4833]

Hay it's time for a Friday version of a Low buck garage production. Just a thought. Add another control valve and a hyd. cylinder tied into the hydraulics of loader for the lift and you can operate it from seat position 💪👍✝️🙏

[@ErikAndersen-pf5yh]

[@michaellewis767]

If you had the valving of a porter power where you have a remote hand pump you could pump by hand and you could also use the engine power

I'm still not convinced you would survive that seat breaking in reverse. It seems like now you would just end up under one of the two tracks rather than under the middle of the machine. Nice work and an enjoyable video as always.

[@aaronmcconnell7358]

The tractor turned out great and it looks factory on not like a hot glued Christmas ornament made your 3rd cousin that thinks she's crafty

[@aserta]

8:33 replace the cylinder with one for a tractor and use an external (electric) power pack (bolted on the frame you made) to power it up. Other than the small whine of the electric motor, it should be plenty quiet. That said, i'd replace the secondary boom segment with something a bit more sturdy. The main one should be ok to take loads, but the secondary one kinda at its limit.

I am wearing one now. I don't know if they are being sold again, but it was a good buy and if it helps this channel, bonus ! Fruit of the loom. Medium weight, so, comfortable. Might be a good luck charm, as I talked to the mayor of my village and will soon be adding 50% more land to my house, for fee/cheap ! More land is fun !

[@JacobusCoetzee-qz2pl]

Well there's weight pushing down on the rear where he final drive is hence power to the ground. I would say it has about 50/50+- weight distribution now. A roof added to the hoist and your set

[@subzeromjc]

What a cool machine, good job!

[@fluffyfullbox2075]

As for the jack. Put a leaver or spigot knob on the release valve. Instead of using the handle all of the time. Also weld a piece of pipe with a cross bolt somewhere to hold the handle.

[@BD-xz6te]

A hydraulic accumulator would let you use the hoist cylinder one stroke even with the engine off. For those not familiar picture a balloon in a pressure vessel filled with nitrogen under pressure. The hydraulic fluid fills the balloon and compresses the nitrogen even more. When the pump stops running you still have the fluid in the accumulator under pressure to use.

[@AfroMyrdal]

I don't know if you know who "Dave's farm" was back In the early days of KZbin, all the bad stuff aside he did some wild and cool stuff and you're really scratching that itch for me these days!

[@braxtonnelson5375]

This channel is an almost perfect mix of education and entertainment... I wouldn't mind having this guy as a neighbor-- something I can't say about all of the channel moderators that I watch!

[@aarondurbin6089]

Adding check valve setup to isolate cylinder when engine is off so your hand pump valve still functions is one option. Electric pump would be another. Depends on what you can scrounge up.

[@MrDB213]

love your content it reminds me of myself finding new uses for stuff and having fun doing it. keep up\the good work.

[@slashsplat]

[@tubeDude48]

I'd go with Vertices corners on the bucket. Easier to see. After you painted the back, it looks original! 👍

[@ericsindt8460]

Hydraulic jack cylinders run at a much higher pressure than that Oliver. 10000 psi or more. You'll probably have to get a larger cylinder installed to match the same lift the jack cylinder has.

[@chrissmith7655]

Hi a man of your enginuity could made your lift power supply selectable, hand power for delicate stuff and motor power for the big spaced out work. Many thanks from Nr Liverpool UK.

[@TestECull]

4:00 An eye for servicing later. Love it!

[@deanmills5106]

Man, I really enjoy your videos

[@harlanbarnhart4656]

The obvious solution to silent power lifting is to plumb a bleed valve from the loader cylinders. Then you can lift a heavy load in the bucket, turn off the engine, open the bleed valve and use the hydraulic pressure from the sinking loader to power the rear hoist.

[@beakittelscherz5419]

I just had an Epiphanie... I finally found the Color in which I will spraypaint my Mobylette AV55 (Motobecane 50cc). This Green is Awesome🤩

[@scottschenk5456]

The glories of age! Old enough for the experience and youthful enough to actually do stuff. Excellent bucket repair!

[@monkeybarmonkeyman]

Maybe some type of safety pin on that boom in case the hydraulics fail? Also, when you were at the bottom of the lift cycle, that boom was bending like a plastic straw. I reckon it'll do. As to the hydraulics... why not put a switchable connection so you can use the hand pump when necessary then twist a valve to use the crawler's hydraulics?

[@genmaxpain]

a valve rebuild kit will fix it like new, its very common on manual hydraulic rams and jacks, another common problem with them is they drop/bleed off(as if the release valve is open but is shut) not pumping can be low fluid but it wont be that problem if it doesn't leak oil

[@ScottDLR]

Is there some kind of accumulator that would be supplied by a one-way check valve that could be used to power the crane? That way you could charge it up while the eng is running and use the power stored in the accumulator when it's off. Or is that crazy for some reason?

[@goptools]

I think connecting the hoist to the machine's hydraulics would be the way to go. Nobody wants to stand there and pump the cylinder up a thousand times. You would just have to be more observant since you won't be able to hear things breaking with the engine running.

[@grahamsmith6474]

I love your addition to that little machine, it looks just like it belongs there. Love your content keep up the good work.

[@joemiller7853]

I agree with the other guys who mentioned an electric hydraulic pump for the hoist. OR..... cheaper option...keep the boom manual pump and mount an inexpensive electric winch, so now you have more flexibility/option for moving material.

[@RADIOACTIVEMASCULINITY]

Well done mods and fixes 💪

[@kornami8678]

Damn the torpedoes, man! Full speed ahead! Use the tractor's hydraulics for the hoist/crane.

[@geraldrooke4922]

Yes. I definitely have a new favourite KZbin channel.

[@MadScientistGarage]

Is it possible to run a pressure tank with a valve to get your easy lifting without the engine noise? There's also the option of getting the air over hydraulic cylinder from HF and keeping an air tank on the crawler

[@IsaacGossard-ij9vw]

Keep the hand operated pump. You could plumb power in also I think with a line in to the ram with a good check valve. Then add a second hand operated release valve that returned to the hydraulic tank. I may very well have no idea what I’m talking about.

[@tonydowd8566]

Now you're sitting too low on that rig. Mount the seat higher with a little cushion. Just a suggestion 😉😉😉😎

[@outsidewhenpossible5242]

Maybe an independent electric hydraulic pump ?

[@TheDistur]

Nice addition

[@quintenstevens3710]

Hey !!! Thanks for the great video's. I was thinking of a possible solution to the manual lifting pump on your green machine. You could makz a system that allows you to turn a wheel i stead of pushing up and down. So instead of having to deal with hydraulic stuff, you could try to transform the up-and-down motion in a rotational movement. You can spin a wheel way quicker than you can move up and down a pole

[@Steven-p1o]

Again your the best low-buck

[@Freedbird]

[@channelofchannels7845]

When are you doing the video on your 4x4 rv you teased it like a year ago

[@F.H.H.B]

Engine driven air compressor, air tank and air over hydraulic? I enjoy your videos sir!

[@ajtechniek8841]

With a hydraulic accumulator you can store the hydraulic energy. and use this energy later with the engine off. This way you can operate your cylinder with the engine off. the pre-filling pressure of the battery is normally around 70% of the working pressure. Suppose the machine operates at a maximum of 3000 psi, then the prefill pressure will have to be 2100 psi. However, it may be better to determine what pressure the cylinder needs to lift a heavy thing. Or the maximum allowable pressure of the cylinder can also be the starting point. But I guess you'll figure it out

[@deepbludude4697]

Theres a fellah up the way from me, deep in a hollow that has what looks like an Oliver very similar to that sitting there it never moves none of his other stuff seems to be running (alot of old trucks C20 and Fseries from 60-70s). Hmmm

[@roberthillyard4234]

Throw your portable battery power pack you used in the camper build, behind the seat to run an electric hydraulic pump and maybe a very small refrigerator for some cold drinks.
