Recovering a Crane DESTINED for the Scrap Yard ~ Broderson IC70 Diesel Deck Crane

[@wilsonlaidlaw]

I think it is a Fordson 4D industrial diesel engine, made in the UK at Dagenham and these engines were actually called the Dagenham range, available as both the 4D and 6D (6 cyl.) versions. Very characteristic rocker box cover shape and the horizontal injectors are also unusual. As well as being used in tractors, they were often used on stand-by generators and in small boats. They were considerably cheaper than their Perkins, Lister or Gardener equivalents.

[@super6954]

Hi it's not a 4d industrial engine those are 220 cu and look identical to what's in my Fordson major tractors this has way to many differences. Another youtuber has a similar crane, and those injectors had me thinking when I saw it. The nearest i can come up with to this is a 172 or 192 industrial diesel, that's similar to what's in a a ford 8-900 series tractor.

[@WeeShoeyDugless]

Looks more like the later Ford Dover engine (Dorset I believe was the 6 cyl version) which was mainly used in Ford Cargo trucks in the 80s & early 90s?

[@Broozer-fw3vl]

Used to work on a very similar 4D Ford in the seventies, they were fitted into air compressors and were very reliable. Used to have to renové a little plug out from the back of the timing case to set the injection pump.

[@super6954]

@@WeeShoeyDugless You mean the later 2700 series engines than the original 220 4 and 330 6 D's. Apart from the head having the same idea with the injectors under the valve cover and the head ports the same side, everything else is totally different on this one. Like I said this is a 172 or 192 sold in the American market I never saw one in the UK, but the 2700's were real common and I've owned and still have 4 and 6's in Dags, Dover's and Dorset ranges

[@super6954]

@@Broozer-fw3vl I know what you mean about the plug, Ford in their wisdom had a special tool nobody now has,that was supposed to screw in there to time the pump. it had a spring pin in the tool to indicate the countersunk hole in the gear was in the right place, I just sold a tractor with one of those motors in and read my service manual to tell the guy last week when he asked.

Most of the YT videos that hit my feed are 20, 30 and occasionally near 40 minutes long. You drop an hour + video and I don't blink an eye. I know I'm going to be glued to my screen for the duration. What you do, how you convey it . . . it's worth my time and I am most grateful. Keep up the great work and more importantly, Thank You!

[@StealthDonut1]

Please keep it! This is, by far, the most *interesting* vehicle you've ever rescued! I want to see it restored and repainted and nicknamed and all of the good stuff. You could get a LOT of use out of this machine!

[@StealthDonut1]

Also, I really do hate to feel stupid for asking, but how did you know it was a Diesel engine within the first 2 seconds of lifting the lid on the engine compartment? I honestly thought it was a standard gasoline ICU just by looking at the cover on top of the block. Go ahead, flame me. lol

[@SalvageWorkshop]

@@StealthDonut1 No need for flamin, nothing wrong with asking! I knew it was diesel because there was an injection pump and not a carburetor... also there were no plugs, plug wires, or a distributor... plus the fuel filters on diesels are typically larger and closer to the engine / injection pump like it was on this engine. Lots of little things, that all add up to it being diesel! Good question!

[@tonyozimek2116]

I worked for a company that had a service truck with a large hyd tank and quick connects on the back. We had a long set of hoses we could connect to a broken machine to operate the hyd of the machine, super handy!

[@roadlizardcu8664]

Had one of those cranes in my shop, it was a great asset to the shop and reliable. It was still operational when I retired, Used it for unloading equipment and replacing engines in large equipment. Great piece of machinery.

[@soundguy10]

FYI, most downriggers are pretty easy to raise without the hydraulics running. Use a bottle jack to raise the machine far enough to slide a floor jack under the downrigger pad, then let the bottle jack down. Pump the floor jack up a few inches to put pressure on the cylinder and move the downrigger's control valve lever to the UP position. Most valve bodies will allow the fluid to flow back. Rinse and repeat until the pad is high enough to not get in the way. Outriggers like on a backhoe can't be raised all the way with this method, but you can at least push them up to a horizontal position. I've raised them the rest of the way with a strategically placed come-along or chain hoist. As you might guess, I have a lot of things with leaky cylinders.

[@funone8716]

YES

[@komatsutech1]

All Crane cylinders including outriggers have holding valves installed in the cylinder. This valve keeps the cylinder from drifting in or out while holding all the extra weight the crane is lifting. The valve most likely in the can side of cylinder where the hose's go in will need to be removed and then the rod will be able to move.

In 95 I spent three months working in Atlanta. They had a large Grove crane trying to lift a brand new crane like that on to a higher level. The Grove boom was extended to far out and the welds broke with a large KA- BOOM and crashed down on the driver cage and took off the hydraulic tank on the small crane. Smashed them both flat. My coworker and I were watching the gauges testing our lines and witnessed the whole thing. Ah the memories.

[@SalvageWorkshop]

Oh my... that would have been a sight to see!

[@mikemoore9757]

We had two of those where I worked and they went out on many jobs with our field crews. I can tell you that if you can get that thing running again, it will be your best friend around the shop. It's kind of like a big yellow Swiss Army knife.

[@bannzai]

We had something similar in our mechanics dept., it was called an Iron Fairy. One of our mechanics put a brush shaft through a young apprentices overalls and suspended him from the crane then swung him around like a fairground ride. Love, health and respect from Scotland UK.

[@davidscott6468]

Comments have been made suggesting that the engine is a Ford UK Diesel and speculation to the model type. I worked in Ford Parts in the UK. If you can get to the side of the Block it will have a casting number eg, 508E 6015 /2701E 6015 for the Truck engine or C5NN 6015 for the tractor Engine. Each of the numbers will be followed by id letters for example 510E 6015 AA for instance. It is possible that it has a CAV injector pump if it is UK made. There may also be casting Numbers on the Inlet Manifold. Hope that this is not to misleading

[@Craneman4100w]

Brodersons are excellent carry decks. Well worth fixing up.

[@jamessmith7691]

That's a real nice find. With a dead machine try putting a jack under an extended outrigger . Then pump the jack with retract motion on the lever. Once it's where you want it put the lever in the neutral spot. It worked more than once for me. Good video !

[@phillacy5545]

Glad you picked something to get running. A break from the shop. Beautiful shop looks like you have it filled up already

[@brucemitchell5637]

We used those all the time in the oil patch. We called them carry decks. Very handy for getting into tight spots that aren't accessible to conventional cranes.

[@kossgroupllc9196]

I want one of those!!!! I can't wait to see the next of this series!!!!

[@ExmarkDude]

When I was in school for my avation mechanics license, my instructor had an older gas version of this crane that had been sitting on the school lot for a while after he used it to move some plane projects around about 5 years before. I helped him get it going again with a new starter and a good carb rebuild. It may look like everything is easy to get to, but with the engine being tucked in the center surrounded by heavy metal plates, it proved to be a challenge, but I definitely enjoyed the experience.

[@TsunauticusIV]

[@zacksickels-ix7iq]

That is a ford 172 diesel. That’s the identical engine that’s in a ford 4000 industrial tractor. The injection pump is a Roosa master. The injection lines running through the side of the head are actually running to jumper lines that feeds the injectors that are fashioned in a typical up down manner. Message me if you need more information but you can find most anything you’d need available online.

[@philipklier5574]

He should try bleeding the injectors, just loosen the lines at the injectors and crank until fuel comes out steadily in spurts. Go easy on the starting fluid or you will blow the ring lands off of the pistons! Happened twice on the engine I had in a Balmar loader, replaced it with a gas farm tractor motor, it bolted right in!

[@edbrick7689]

I have operated the Broderson Carry Deck cranes. Great for interior work done inside plants or factories.

[@gsengineering284]

Matt, I never even heard of Broderson cranes before but it looks like the Ford 192D (or is it D192) in one of the boat hoists at work. It could be a 172. I don't know how wide the Ford line was. It is an offshoot of Ford tractors. They also made it as a gas engine. The fuel system is a little finicky to bleed. As I recall the injectors are vertical and what you see are extension tubes. The pipe plug in the intake manifold should be a cold start coil plug, one at each end. Even with glow coils, she is hard to cold start as a recent rebuild. We use a core plug heater for cold temps.You need glow coils unless it is really warm outside for a cold start. Once you get it going it runs well, however. Put a safety clamp on the dead end of the load cable. Look up the approved way with a short scrap of cable clamped to the tail.

[@johnmccanntruth]

I’d look at the compartment under where the air box and muffler were, in front of the tire, I think this might be dead space. Would make a great place to add a panel for access and put your muffler.

[@Nf6xNet]

That is a really cute little crane! I’m glad you saved it, and I hope you can get it operating again without big trouble. I’m looking forward to seeing progress on this one. It looks like it will be really useful.

Quite the project. Since those Air and Exhaust pipe "pass throughs" look post factory (especially since you said wrong location for the Air Cleaner) agree it's a re-power with "something". As I recall Ford and Perkins used that bluish engine paint. The Oil Filter P/N might be a start as well as Injector Pump Model. Besides that, start crawling around looking for a casting numbers or a data plate someplace. Sure, some pictures posted on a diesel engine online forum might help too. Good Luck and look forward to more on this baby beast.

If you are ever in the situation where you do not know if it's 12 or 24volt, A quick and easy way to tell is check the volt meter, so long as it has a volt meter.

The engine appears to be a english ford diesel made in UK. Their good engines. I think it got parked because of the broken sterring, dose'nt look like a fresh brake. Still a good score

[@thomasbarber5841]

It's a 172 cubic inch or a 192 cubic inch ford diesel. They were used in 801 series and 901 series ford tractors and the first generation thousand series ford tractors. The 192 is the same block and everything as the 172 it's just bored out and was used in industrial applications ie: air compressors, gen sets, water pumps, and probably this crane. The 2 plugs on the intake manifold are preheaters you'll want those as they are very cold natured, they are good motors and run very well and can still get parts, the vanes in the injection pumps will get stuck if it sits and doesn't get started up and run every now and then, but other than that they are a pretty good engine. Got a ford 961 diesel that I restored that needed a new motor took a 192 out of an air compressor and replaced the 172.

the engine in your crane looks tome like a ford 4d , many years ago when I was a lot younger ford did bring out an engine with the injectors inboard like those, if memory serves when you lift the rocker box the injectors are fairly standard bolted down to the cyl head in the usual way, I believe they discontinued that design because, if a leak developed the fuel went straight into the sump, which quickly filled it up lock up the engine if you didn`t check your oil regular, hope this helps. paul, here in the good old uk .
