That’s essentially a digger Derrick which is used for setting power poles and sometimes telephone companies will use them if we’re getting into remote locations hence the why it has tracks on it! The auger is for digging out holes to set the power poles and the boom actually has 2 to 3 stages like most newer ones and there are a set of claws on the front that close around the pole and the winch is used to raise the pole up and down
You two guys are putting satellite TV out of business haven’t turned my tv on in weeks watching you guys instead. Your the kinda folks I would sit down and swap stories with. Love what your doing. Thanks
You guys certainly have fun and share joy in working on this stuff together. I really enjoyed this one. Your closing comments are so true and very touching. We lost a friend due to a mishap while working on a gasoline generator; he was feeding fuel into the carb, there was a backfire and well...the rest is history, and he didn't make it. So, everyone needs to take notice of your sincere notes at the end. Thank you.
The way the engine is firing through the carb, I think the timing may be off, plug wires misplaced or valves sticking open. I wish Jonathan W wasn't so busy so you could collaborate with him to get it running. That would make some great content. I think I recall that Jonathan worked at the Carter Carburetor Company many years ago.
You need to clean the points on gas engine if they have been setting for awhile, it gives it better fire, plus use a a different tank for gas because it get old and usually will be dirty and plug every thing. and can cause damage inside the engine. Carter carbs are pretty easy to rebuild Ask Matt from Diesel Creek he is pretty good at it.
They fed it from the can Um I'd say half corrosion in carb + the 2 wires they pulled they weren't sure of. And if they figured the actual throttle on it. It would've done better.
This was a lot of fun to watch. No shame in throwing in the towel for the day and respecting the more dangerous things out there. I hope to see you guys come back and get that big boy moving.
Got the same boom mounted on a 91 international. Strong as a mule no hydraulic safety features to limit your power. Great for pulling pole butts. Much better than my 2011 telelect.
Yall gotta come back and get this ol machine running. Those Ford 300 sixes were born to run. They make damn near a diesels worth of torque too. Great engines. Git er done boys!
These engines made more torque than the straight 6 diesel that Ford had for industrial use back then.. there is a reason the 300 was used in machinery that required Ford power..
I would agree that either the timing is off a little or the plug wires are in the wrong location to the plugs ( when you pulled them off a mark on the wires would have helped you ) but if you do come back to this machine I would happily watch the video. If you don’t come back to it we’ll I’m fine with that too. Keep up the good work and we’ll see you in the next one
Hi Guys, thanks for another great video! May I make a suggestion? Check the firing order and clean the contact breakers. Unless there is a stuck inlet valve, firing back through the carb is a clear indication of incorrect firing order. Those points will be badly corroded, a quick clean will help with the coil charging. Thanks again!!!
Looks like a 300HD Ford. Very good for a gas engine. Used to drive a school bus that had a 300HD engine with a 4 speed manual and it would do the job ! Have a Blessed Day !
Good morning from Eastern Kentucky, Hank you saved my morning, I was about to get up and work on something but I got the notification for your video. Thanks for giving me something to do this morning... Lol
@@chucknorris277 - I'm pretty sure our line crew has a tracked vehicle like this that's shared by 2 or 3 areas - I've only ever seen it used once around Pittsburgh.
hank as someone that spent 8 years as a volie and someone that has been goin to fires for 20+ years i can totally see you wanting to stop when that carb ignited and i can understand your PTSD from your dad's untimely death and i am sorry for you you have my condolences i have seen my fair share of that before and yes that carb needs a good tear down and cleaning i am sure the jets are all pluged up
Hank, this video had me rolling! The humor and banter between you and Wiley is priceless! Looks like you've got a 300 I6 in that machine, they were amazing engines, and well worth revisiting. Looking forward to the next video! 🙂
Idk what they used them for in South Carolina but I’m in Alabama and the power company use them to dig holes for power poles that are deep in the woods and there some that come with a crane and a trailer that would pull the poles also.
What were you doing at Shaw Air Force Base? I finished my hitch in 1996 and stuck around Sumter. Sumter Utilities (formerly Sumter Builders) has been in business for a really long time, I believe they began running power lines back in the Great Depression-TVA govt contract-era. That auger may have been transported there for storm work and left behind, or maybe sold at auction after a time...who knows? I've been subscribed to you for awhile, it's pretty neat that you and I were at the same base. Keep these really awesome videos coming, you're helping an old Gulf War vet relax in the evenings.
If that engine is from the 80's I doubt it has points in it. With all of the popping and snapping he probably put the wrong plug wires on the wrong spark plugs. It tried to run but it had the wrong firing order going on.
I laughed my head off at you 2 in this video, so much fun.🤣🤣🤣🤣. Really sorry to hear about your dad Hank, I thinks that must be one of the worst ways for any person to die.🙏🏻
For the regular truck version most electricians/telecommunications people call those line trucks because they are used to build or repair those respective lines...the foot pedal by the hydraulic controls is an auxiliary throttle control for the engine
When you pulled the plug wires off you may have put them back on in the wrong order. That would be why it is popping back through the carb and backfiring.
Check points and firing order timing is not right there not much different to diesel principle only thay use external spark rather than compression to ignite anway that's my 2 bobs worth keep up the good work from aus
HEY I REMEMBER THAT MACHINE TRACKER there was ton of them use here before n it was used for power companies go thur woods cutting down tree other else thur mud n i remember seeing it before and i know ford for years and easy to fix n easy get running
Hank and Wiley the inlet needle in the carby is more than likely stuck closed. Tap the bowl or remove it and clean it out. There could be junk in there, a whole range of issues. It would be cool to replace the engine with a Cummins or a Cat engine. Or even a Detroit screaming would be pretty cool. Maybe just a bit of research about Gasoline engines would help 👍😜 It was entertaining 🤣 I hope you come back and have another go because it would be so cool to see it driving and operating again. I love seeing old machinery running again. Take care. 👍💪🇦🇺🇺🇲
My father god rest his soul was one of the first people to come up with the idea to mount bucket type equipment like power line trucks and other equipment on tracks thats been probably mid 70's when his company mounted its first one
First off, I love your shirt Hank, I'm a believer too, and He does love a lot of people, including the ones that most people won't love. I knew that engine was going to run once it cranked, I-6 engines are almost bullet proof, and tough to kill. If it ran on ether, it will run on gasoline, I'm sure you would've gotten it going if you stayed on it. Figure out what closes the the top of the carburetor throat, it's called a "choke", it helps the engine pull more gas into the airstream, and that will help. Love you guys, some of your jokes are hilarious! Diesels are easier to get running, all you need is fuel, and it can be 30 years old if that's what you have.
Excellent video Hank :) & Wiley :) also that motor be in line 300 or 305 6 cylinders Ford engine 210 hp with 260 torque and powerfull ! All do put key ignition switch on pull choke all out then push gas pedal 6 times and when crank gas pedal to floor and push choke in 1/4 dash till warm engine then 5 mins in ! Also don't stay running fuel filter clogged up dirty! Also dirt fuel that be in tank is jello and crusty too and carb get fuel from fuel pump!
Hi from uk hank and wiley👍👋 hank am so sorry to hear about your old man goin that way 💔 rest in paradise my friend💔 and yeah understandable but your precations paid well 👌 love the way you always say my father said and my father told me three things cos the three things always change lol he was wise man to keep teaching you these 👍 this one was somethig different and msybe timing as its backfiring or vacuum or mechanical advance seized in distributor cap? But you guys did well at least she popped for a bit tho good job guys👌👍 thanks for your time and respect to you hank for talking about you dad he is a legend and great guy for blessing us with you💓💙💚 thanks again be safe and see you soon👍👋
That was a win some lose some but funny you guys Crack me up it was worth it just to see you guys try should have been the Hank and Whilley show you made my day great comic show never miss a video as always thank you for sharing and your time was really great 👍.
Sumter Utilities are around up here doing either phone or power line work. Tel-elect is power truck lift equipment, bucket truck type. Yall on your own with the rest of that stuff. GBWYall!
Hank the chassis for this machine was problem made in Canada, I build a similar to cut the trees on power lines. Sounds like spark plug wires not in the right order.

Right on. We appreciate that.
That is a 300 cubic inch ford. I'm not really a ford guy but that is one of the best 6 cylinder engines that was ever made.
I can respect your decision on this one Hank. Better safe then sorry. Y'all stay safe. Hopefully one day y'all can come back to this one.

Telect is still in business and this was a wetlands utility pole setting digger derrick. They mount the derricks on a log skidders now.

I watch Johnathan he's good
Did you see the old mini crane
Series last yr? Go back n catch that.
Definitely timing issue I was gonna say the exact same thing if is has a distributor that’s the issue the cap or it’s Orr a couple degrees
Guys, I love your videos and camaraderie. A great friendship between you both is awesome to see. Now get that thing running.
From a UK follower🤘🏻
check out part 2! Thanks for watching!

I Was Born In 1996. RIP To Your Father. Sure He Was A Great Man. He Made A Great Son
He was cool Cat for sure . Thank you
I watch every video, You pair always make me smile,!! Thank You for that....
Thank you for watching!
4:20 - I heard you singing that Bowling for Soup song, and man it sent me on a strange couple hours through youtube. Thanks Hank!
Good morning from Eastern Kentucky, Hank you saved my morning, I was about to get up and work on something but I got the notification for your video. Thanks for giving me something to do this morning... Lol
Right on!
Looks like something the line crew would use for setting poles in the right of way.
Yes sir. Usually they have a pin on bucket.
@@chucknorris277 - I'm pretty sure our line crew has a tracked vehicle like this that's shared by 2 or 3 areas - I've only ever seen it used once around Pittsburgh.
Exactly my thought. This machine looks like it was used to drill big holes for setting power or telephone poles.
It sure is amazing you guys can start all those forgotten machines.
Hank and Wally you two are the best. I'm laughing a lot a bout you two. Keep on going. God bless
Thanks!
I really enjoy your guises warped sense of humor
hank as someone that spent 8 years as a volie and someone that has been goin to fires for 20+ years i can totally see you wanting to stop when that carb ignited and i can understand your PTSD from your dad's untimely death and i am sorry for you you have my condolences i have seen my fair share of that before and yes that carb needs a good tear down and cleaning i am sure the jets are all pluged up

Part 2 out this week!
You two guys have found one of the secrets to life - make work fun!
For sure!
Sometimes the commentary between these two is as good as the will it start projects.
Right On Time Brother,Morning Wiley & Hank. Good To See Ya !
Good morning!
Idk what they used them for in South Carolina but I’m in Alabama and the power company use them to dig holes for power poles that are deep in the woods and there some that come with a crane and a trailer that would pull the poles also.
Love watching your comedy duo. Have fun getting this machine running.. Steve..South Coast New South Wales down under , Australia.
That was hilarious, Wallie said, well it was nice knowing ya fellers🤣

Right on. I’ve taking many classes and done many exercises there. Thanks for watching!
Clean the carb/points and spark plugs. Sorry to hear about your Dad, i lost mine in 1969 to cancer. You guys take care and great a day.
Thank you Max
You need to clean the carburetor and maybe clean the points/check spark plugs for spark and see if the fuel ⛽️ pump is working..
If that engine is from the 80's I doubt it has points in it. With all of the popping and snapping he probably put the wrong plug wires on the wrong spark plugs. It tried to run but it had the wrong firing order going on.
What I thought was the best bit was Wally singing a boy George song
That was pure gold 😍😍👍👍
😂
You guys are killin me, one of the funniest vids I’ve seen in awhile
I love the shirt hank . Sorry to hear about your dad and God bless you
Thanks Matt
Another great video Hank, you Guy's are the best! I just love watching you you Guy's working together, love you Guy's!
Thanks much
@@Hfoutdoorsyt you are so welcome my brother!
Sorry to hear that Hank . you and Wiley always have fun on them cool machines keep up the good work.
👍 appreciate it sir
I laughed my head off at you 2 in this video, so much fun.🤣🤣🤣🤣. Really sorry to hear about your dad Hank, I thinks that must be one of the worst ways for any person to die.🙏🏻
It was not fun. I appreciate you watching!
This had tears of laughter running down my face ! 😂😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏
Thanks Hank and Wiley for the awesome video nice machine thanks again
Me and wally have the same mentality when it comes to that type of stuff. Just keep trying to something blows up or gives up one
I really like Wiley both you guy’s are awesome really fun to watch 👌👌🙏
Wow what a old machine. Great job guy's
For the regular truck version most electricians/telecommunications people call those line trucks because they are used to build or repair those respective lines...the foot pedal by the hydraulic controls is an auxiliary throttle control for the engine

you guys are the reason i started doing will it start
HEY I REMEMBER THAT MACHINE TRACKER there was ton of them use here before n it was used for power companies go thur woods cutting down tree other else thur mud n i remember seeing it before
and i know ford for years and easy to fix n easy get running
Good morning to y'all from Charlottesville VA I Love watching you guys Have a great weekend
Thanks for watching!
Ive hauled many of those...37 to be exact those things are cool
Good luck buddysgood to see yall be carefull
😎have checked the needle and seat of the carburetor and you can also check the float for leeks
Hank and Wiley the inlet needle in the carby is more than likely stuck closed.
Tap the bowl or remove it and clean it out.

Definitely you guys got to go back and work on that even if you have to pull out the carburetor and get it going love to see it drive
Hi guys. Carby catches fire out the top hit the key and suck in old fella told that 40 years ago, check you plug leads. Cheers from Australia Mick.

Thanks for sharing Hank!
That telelect is a dang good machine. Those are usually mounted on medium duty trucks. Thats actually called a diigger derrick.
Good video somtimes i just listen too yall talk its soothing like bob ross the painter
You two always make me laugh 😂
Gas engines always much harder to start when laid up than the diesels
Yep! Thanks.
Hi hank and whiley might need to clean the points great video you guys
I love it,ya'll crack me up. That counts either is fuel it ran
That was a win some lose some but funny you guys Crack me up it was worth it just to see you guys try should have been the Hank and Whilley show you made my day great comic show never miss a video as always thank you for sharing and your time was really great 👍.
We have part two coming out soon. Thanks for watching
There for digging post holes for hydro poles/ or core samples in the bush.
hydro 1 in Ontario Canada uses ones just like these
Great video , yes rebuild the carb , have wiley sell it
So sorry to hear that about your dad Hank
Thanks much. I appreciate it
watching from Kenya 🇰🇪
Check plug wires you pulled them remember and it's backfires ! I like you to come back to it !
My battery won’t crank like that! I would love one of those! Cheers👍👌👌😂
Fellas that was funny stuff right there great watch 👍giver again
Maybe better just to "leave" it alone 😂😂😂 good videos/footage guys keep it up 👍🏻
Sorry about your loss. Its an early 80s motor. Linkage on top is the accelerator pump .
Thanks Chris.
Good job and God bless yall be safe
Thanks Ralph
So sorry about your dad. God bless.
Thank you
If I could put gas in a bottle..... I love it! Great video fellas... Thanks again. From Idaho

Very nice surprise to wake up to love the videoa Hank🤙
Right on! Have a good day!
Man you two are a great double act. You need to take that show on the road!
Hank the chassis for this machine was problem made in Canada, I build a similar to cut the trees on power lines. Sounds like spark plug wires not in the right order.
wait for part 2 this week !...youre on to something
You guys have to much fun !
That would be a Ford 4.9 300 inline 6 industrial same base as the version in the pickups with some minor changes for specific applications
Always check the distributor cap for corrosion fast and easy on gas engines
Unique machine but I like the diesel videos. Appreciate you backing off for safety reasons.
I used to work for that company,those machines are used for setting power poles in areas that you won't get a regular line truck to
Lol great video please come with part 2. Oh yah a good socket set??
great video, very amusing double act
