Old equipment is awesome! The nature of it is usually very basic and it just wants to work, but it also seems to usually have a personality and wants someone to pay for making it sit around doing nothing. Always a great feeling when it decides to accept your offering of time, effort and various petroleum offerings to the iron gods!
Squatch, that little cackle when you were standing on the flywheel says it all, it's exciting to watch you bring these amazing machines back from the dead.
Wow that worked free way easier than I expected it too!! Well done, that’s gotta make you feel better about the purchase. You know I’ll come help toss stones into it once it’s crushing.
"This should not be this much fun" is still having a kid alive in you :) It happens with my 15 years old car with a niiiice engine, it happens on a bycicle when riding some nice wavy roads faster then normal. "This should not be this much fun" is... magic :)
thank you for working on the rock crusher. Old stuff like this and your cat d2 and d6 like watching them videos on how you bring it back to life. thank you again. Have a great day be safe
I loved your evil chuckle at 20:13. There's nothing more satisfying than watching boys playing with their toys.😉 Maybe the old crusher won't take too much work to get her up and running again. Here's hoping. Hope your eyes are going OK.
I like the plan for displaying your rock crusher. It looks like you are on the way to being back to your old self again. Still enjoy seeing your Cat on the rocks in the background. 🚜👍
When I was in my early twenties, my best friends Grandfather bought one of these from a local farm sale. Moving it was a bit of a challenge, we picked it with an old international R/O crane and hauled it on the flatbed. It was a little top heavy if you can imagine we only had to move it about eight miles but it was super squirrelly . The plan was to spin it with a D2 but his Pop pop passed away 20 years ago before he ever got to use it. It’s up on new timber’s now but we’re 60 years old now.
Great to see someone else get that kind of enjoyment out of getting old equipment moving again! 👍🏼 Nice job and glad your able to get out there again!!
That's going to be an interesting project. The variety of repairs that have to be done. Just the scale of heavy casting alone will be a challenge. Look forward to more of everything, glad you're out and about. 👍
Absolutely just awesome. Just like a young kid in a candy store. Glad you’re making positive progress on the rock crusher. Lots of motivation is also good for the eye and the mine.
Man, I'd love to disassemble that thing, clean it up, paint, and put it back together. That would be fun and satisfying. Men don't grow up...our toys just get bigger.
Excellent video it's nice to see the rock crusher shafts turning. I have a portable key cutting machine that would restore the key way or cut it slightly deeper to anchor a new gib key. Keep up the excellent videos
Another great video Toby. It’s nice to see you out and working again. I couldn’t just sit there either. It’s great to see the crusher moving again. It’s a lot of work ahead but a start. Thanks again and can’t wait for the next video!
That deal is gonna be a project and a half when you get into it. It'll be helpful to you to make a decent A frame lift or jib crane to lift the heavy bits but not be permanently in place. Even as a 'as needs arise' piece, might be good to have a roof over it and to plan out the outlet for the crushed material so you're not having to really dig and struggle. Like a more elevated position, longer chute into a collection bunker to scoop from. But first your eyes gotta heal up, time has to present, and it's gotta not be frozen too.
May have crushed used blacktop to produce ' rap ' or just crushed for a consistent fill type product. Some of the old crushers used a tar/wax lubricant in the bearings. I'll bet if you find out the maker and jaw sizes, Columbia casting co will have patterns for new parts. Good luck !! The loose flywheel may be tightened up by using what is called a 'Dutchman ' type of fastener. usually a 1/2 to 1 in bolt threaded into the shaft and flywheel. Can also use pipe plugs, that can make the joint so tight it cannot be taken apart !!
Try wrapping a rope around the pulley, and pulling the rope with your truck. btw I have a rake type of bucket for my JCB excavator. I am using to dredge weeds out of a pond.. It would be great to sift the rocks from the soil.
They were crushing asphalt it looks like. Makes sense for how clapped out it is to feed it something light and squeeze out every last bit of work out of it
You have a great channel, I like watching it. I was watching Crazy D Equipment channel and he was to a abandoned farm by Newton KS. He planned the camera around and they saw a tumble bug. It looked like the one you pulled a couple months ago. The video is called Abandoned farmstead tractors, trucks, cars and equipment and came out 13 days ago. Just wanted to let you know if you are interested. Keep up the with the great videos. Waiting to see Christie altogether.
I appreciate the patience. The crusher will be back to work soon. You raised a neat point about rock piles. NOW we might see the value in the pile. If we have a crusher. : - )
Another classic. Top-side is your lube point for that pivot shaft, should be one of those old bolt holes, or both. Old school way is to pack them, fill with old tar grease and run the bolts in part ways to give it the ooze factor. Seeing you dig out old bitumen chunks is likely because someone ran old road chips through it however who knew what the previous operator deemed as proper lube especially if there was an old oil field nearby. All in all a fine tool and obviously built to outlast man and time. Look forward to ear protection day, the rumble and ground shaking of an old jaw crusher is always worth the trip.
11:18 that used to be a platform bolted on top of the rock crusher. Pretty common way to get rock in without having too much of a hassle dealing with scoops and dumping rock. Given the thickness, those are probably the bolts that held the beams for the platform, not for the actual platform itself. Might've been a mine crusher if that's the case, as they'd be about the only people who'd keep a machine like this long enough (in one place) to do it.
Glad to see another Acme crusher! I have some pics of mine if you want to see what parts are missing, and the grease fittings in question. I run 600w gear oil (think Model T) and power it with a Farmall M
0:33 i painted all of our magnet mounts in neon green for that exact same reason. Can't lose them now. The color basically emits pain. Before that, everyone used to lose one every month or so.
Thanks for the video Squatch. I can tell your so anxious to get back to doing some work, but you need to be careful because I'd really hate to see you have a set back. I understand but you need to heal well before you get to busy working. With the wind picking up I'd be a little scared of the dust to start flying around and get in that eye. Be patient my friend we will all be glad to see you get back to your projects but give it some time. With all that bunch of rock piles you say it's not going to be a real production but it will be good to put on the roads there on the farm.
Far far too much excitement for you during your recovery 🙄😁 great to see everything starting to free up 💪 as for the comment about the wear in the shaft that'll be no problem to someone like you or Senior 💪💪
Hello from the England and great to see you having some enjoyment. You just can't go wrong with old equipment and machinery as it was made to last and to run. I so can't wait to seeing your next video but please take care 👍
For old babbit bearings, depending on the temperature, you should consider NLGI 000 grease, a little hard to source, depending, flowable above 20°C. It will stick around better than gear oil. Best wishes from the far North.
I had the same reaction the other day when I switched on my Atlas TV42 lathe for the first time that I acquired from a neighbor. I have a bit of surface rust to remove from the ways, but she appears to be all original.
Your cat monument looks grate I worked in a quarry as a young man had to use one it was very hard work for a16year old not to mention a bit scary. Keep safe and well thanks for the video.
very interesting piece of machinery. takes so much power to crush rocks. you could have it crush and drop into a trailer or a cement pad. everybody like gravel!
Thank you for the update. Sending positive thoughts health comes first over everything else. Although my father’s been gone 20 years. He was my buddy and we did a lot of things together and working on projects. I do miss that and happy that you have your dad around to give you a hand. I know it works both ways.
Just a thought next time at rock crusher use some of to 90w you drained out of w4 with a little diesel fuel in it might work a little better and be more economical too
I like your channel. I watch every episode. It's go, went, gone on that verb. I know,, it's my nature, I can't help iit. Please don't take me the wrong way. I like your channel very much.
Amazing! When a player has a breakthrough game the coach gives him more minutes and if he continues to prove himself he becomes a starter. Hey Coach Squatch! Time to rethink your starting lineup?
If I understand the mechanics of it, when the eccentric lifts the jaw, it is also working against the springs? So it would get tight anyway? But I will defer to you being you are the one with your hands on it. It was good to see you out having a good time anyway.
You missed the smaller ore crusher at Albany. Built in Cedar Rapids IA. Patent 1910. It was seized too. In fact it had tree roots wrapped into the steel wheels of the carriage. I've been anxiously awaiting this. Thank you.
Funny how these old machines can turn a grown man into a kid again! It's good to see your recovery going well and you're back in the action!!!

@@squatch253 and so you should! I am curious what tractor do you think you’ll use to run it once that time does come…
That was very impressive pouring for a guy recovering from eye surgery.
Nice episode Squatch 👍
What a good day, you and the rock crusher are both happy!
"This should not be this much fun" is still having a kid alive in you :)
It happens with my 15 years old car with a niiiice engine, it happens on a bycicle when riding some nice wavy roads faster then normal.
"This should not be this much fun" is... magic :)
One small step for mankind, one giant sense of achievement. So good to see movement on the shafts.
Great to see this old machine being turned over by hand ,looking forward to this project starting.
I can't wait to see that thing run. I've been looking for a crusher.
thank you for working on the rock crusher. Old stuff like this and your cat d2 and d6 like watching them videos on how you bring it back to life. thank you again. Have a great day be safe

Woo hoo - rolling along a bit closer to Rocking and Rolling!
I can't believe how excited I got by seing that flywheel move!
Great to see someone else get that kind of enjoyment out of getting old equipment moving again! 👍🏼 Nice job and glad your able to get out there again!!
Awesome to see it closer to turning, and working
It’s great to see the rock crushing getting freed up and starting to turn again. Toby, very enjoyable video. Thanks for sharing.
Great to see the crusher turning! I look forward to seeing how you repair and clean up that beautiful old machine.
Great to see you healthy enough to get back into a project. I really look forward to seeing you tear into this rock crusher.
That evil cackle !! Love it ! And yes, bringing this old equipment back to life is fun!
I can’t tell you how happy I am to see a new video of that beast. I’m anxious to see it crunch again. No pressure!!! 🤣🤣. Love your content!!
That's going to be an interesting project. The variety of repairs that have to be done. Just the scale of heavy casting alone will be a challenge. Look forward to more of everything, glad you're out and about. 👍
Toby you’ve done it again we’re all eager to see the restoration of the rock crusher and wishing you a speedy recovery
I'm green with envy. I wish I had space for rock crusher. glad to see you out and about and doing stuff again
Tickled pink to see ya finally get on the rock crusher!
I like the mellow updates. Not everything has to have sparks!
Absolutely just awesome. Just like a young kid in a candy store. Glad you’re making positive progress on the rock crusher. Lots of motivation is also good for the eye and the mine.
Nice Tobie, like the filling video's while you recover
Man, I'd love to disassemble that thing, clean it up, paint, and put it back together. That would be fun and satisfying. Men don't grow up...our toys just get bigger.
Excellent video it's nice to see the rock crusher shafts turning. I have a portable key cutting machine that would restore the key way or cut it slightly deeper to anchor a new gib key. Keep up the excellent videos
I would suggest pulling the shaft and flywheels and having them converted to use taper lock hubs. That would be a much better long term solution.
Another great video Toby. It’s nice to see you out and working again. I couldn’t just sit there either. It’s great to see the crusher moving again. It’s a lot of work ahead but a start. Thanks again and can’t wait for the next video!

I Worked on a few diesel/ hydraulic rock crushers. That one is very cool.
Great video Squatchy. Good to see your on the mend. 👍
Great video Toby! Nice to see you got the rock crusher freed up a little bit. Cheers
it was good seeing you you get some movement out of the crusher! Next time it will be even better !
Rock Crusher!!! Yeah!!! 😃
Another fine product from "Acme" endorsed by Wiley Coyote
Yes!
Try wrapping a rope around the pulley, and pulling the rope with your truck. btw I have a rake type of bucket for my JCB excavator. I am using to dredge weeds out of a pond.. It would be great to sift the rocks from the soil.
Can’t wait for the rebuild. I like the old belt drives, making little rocks out of big rocks!
I like what you are doing keep doing it. Thank You!
They were crushing asphalt it looks like. Makes sense for how clapped out it is to feed it something light and squeeze out every last bit of work out of it

Looking good Squatch

Would love to see this cleaned and restored. Can't wait to see what you do with this!
Thanks for the reminder Squatch. Sometimes the simplest achievements in life can give us great pleasure. Always great watching thanks Catdw21
Thanks For Posting This Keeps My Mind Off Americs Political Turmoil At Present Time Great Video ❤
OUTSTANDING video, love it when you jiggle about the smallest things. Happy your rehab is going well. Keep it up.
Very interesting job rejuvenating this special machine.
Lokking forward to your work on this. Thanks for the video
Yes it is special even rode on a short trailer there! 😝🤣

Can't wait to see it in the shop getting broken down and rebuilt.

Hmmm, now where is that drive belt? and what have I got with a working belt pulley? Aha, 5J1113! That should get full rotation out of it!
Doesn't the Super M tractor still have its drive belt pulley?
Good to see you back ! Keep it oiled well till you get to it.
Absolutely wonderful to see!
Far far too much excitement for you during your recovery 🙄😁 great to see everything starting to free up 💪 as for the comment about the wear in the shaft that'll be no problem to someone like you or Senior 💪💪
Squatch, I’ve got a bunch of rocks you can have ! Just come and get them down here north of Tracy, Minnesota !
Wow old piece of iron coming back to life. Be fun to watch that crusher crushing rocks. Perty cool . Great video.
Hello from the England and great to see you having some enjoyment.
You just can't go wrong with old equipment and machinery as it was made to last and to run.
I so can't wait to seeing your next video but please take care 👍
Thanks was very entertaining Toby I enjoyed being safe and enjoying every day amazing to view your father getting ready for deer. :)
For old babbit bearings, depending on the temperature, you should consider NLGI 000 grease, a little hard to source, depending, flowable above 20°C. It will stick around better than gear oil.

Good to see ya Toby!! Hope all was successful. Youll have that thing pounding rock before ya know it.
I had the same reaction the other day when I switched on my Atlas TV42 lathe for the first time that I acquired from a neighbor. I have a bit of surface rust to remove from the ways, but she appears to be all original.
Keep the BIG rocks, might want to build something one day. ;)
Those beer can shims bring back memories
Your cat monument looks grate I worked in a quarry as a young man had to use one it was very hard work for a16year old not to mention a bit scary. Keep safe and well thanks for the video.

I’m sensing some crushed stone in our futures!😅👍💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Nice! Glad to see that old hunk of Iron moving again.
Great stuff. Hope your recovery going well too Toby.
Can't wait to see that in operation
Thanks! I enjoyed this revisit to the rock crusher and can't wait to see it do some work.
Hope you’re feeling better. Looking forward to seeing a working rock 🪨 crusher!
Just a thought next time at rock crusher use some of to 90w you drained out of w4 with a little diesel fuel in it might work a little better and be more economical too
Awesome content Dude!
Take care of that eye!
I'll bet Josh at Topper Machine knows the cure for those worn parts!
Good to see some new vidios
'The Crushinator'. Oh yeah. This will be a cool project at some point. Fun to see when you get to it.
Enjoyed this a lot, quite amazing what can happen when going for a look with an enthusiastic attitude
Can’t wait to see it crushing your rocks thanks
Need the belt drive from the D2 to help!.
Glad it moved and put you mind at ease.
I like your channel. I watch every episode. It's go, went, gone on that verb. I know,, it's my nature, I can't help iit. Please don't take me the wrong way. I like your channel very much.
Nice to see the old girl free up,you'll be in the aggregate business in no time LOL
Can't wait till you get to the crusher

Patent 1910.
It was seized too.
In fact it had tree roots wrapped into the steel wheels of the carriage.
I've been anxiously awaiting this.
