Yes, it is at the National Pike show. I watched it working this August, and have video to put up eventually. It is still used to clean the catch pond. The owner really knows how to cast! How did your family use it?
W O W . . . After 45 years I finally get to see another Insley..!! We had one at Lehigh Portland Cement Co. in Miami where I worked in the early 70’s. Occasionally they would keep me over after my 3rd shift on the Lima 2400’s to clean out Ditches in the morning or clean out gravel in train cars that wouldn’t open with the clam bucket. NEVER seen Another one until This one. 🙄😮👷♂️👍
There are 2 Insleys at this show, and another one at the Harrison County show near Cadiz OH. Many manufacturers had a lot of machines in some areas, and none in others, depending on dealerships and service network. Example, for tractors, our area was almost exclusively Farmalls, and a few Fords.
My Grandfather bougtht his first New Insley L for $7,000 some where around 1940 0r so maybe 1946. Both his Insley L's had Minniapolis Moline gasoline engines in them burned 18 gallons of gasoline per day llading two dump trucks ..Digging marl and sand out of Lake
I have two insley cranes ones a k-12 the other a k-14 navy seebee crane both set up as draglines my dad use to have a insley L just like yours his had a Minnie 6cylinder gas engine
I always like seeing an old Insley. I could listen to that straight 8 Chrysler sing all day long, love that sound when it dogs down when hoisting the bucket!
Thank you.... now I know how a drag-line works to clean out a pond. They recently used one to clean out some nearby ponds, but I was never around to see how they did it! ACES!!!!!!!
As much as I like to see the machines work, it's easy to see why the pond needs dredging every year. Where is the mud coming from? It's coming from the area around the pond that does not have the flow ways grassed over. They should consult a conservation officer. A ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. In other words, it would be a lot cheaper to grass the flow ways than to hire the contractors to dredge the pond.
Sometimes that's not possible. My grandfather's farm had a mud prob. Thinking it was the banks we grassed it up. But the pond kept getting silted up. Turns out the creek feeding the pond was the issue. There was nothing we could do about it.
Wow. I haven't seen one of the Insley's running since I was a little kid in the late 60's. I saw one on a barge in Baltimore harbor then dredging for pier expansions.
I had the opportunity to "operate" one of these Insleys this fall. Had a great time doing it looking forward to this fall to try it again. Both times I have been to Brownsville this one has been idle.
There is so much running all day that it's hard to get clear sound of any single machine. I have a cardiod mike, but it's still too wide angle. Did you get to the show this time?
There's a yellow Insley crane similar to this one on old M-21 west of Capac, over in the Thumb. It's been sitting there for years and sinking into the ground but you never know. The old girl may be itching to fire up and dig her way out.
@@ferguson20diesel49 I know that, but, we didn`t have anything but backhoe-loaders where I was working at the time....We used the old Bantam for unloading oilfield pipe and also some clamshell work in addition to draglining.
Anyone else here from watch wes works channel? Waiting to see his run again?
Yes
Exactly!
yus
old girl will need a LOT of work to be usable like this one... But I hope he does it
Oh yes
That dragline once belonged to my family. Looks like it's in good hands.

@@SteamCrane we had an excavating business for over 75 years. Had many insley cranes and excavators over the years.
@@AndyDelucio It's still going strong. You might enjoy going to the show, biggest digging show in the world.

I have an old Insley K12 with a Detroit diesel its fun to run 40 ft of boom 3/4 yard bucket good pond digger
The lake needs to be regularly cleaned from bottom sediments. This can be done using a dirty water pump with a suction nozzle Bagermaster

They need to bump up the gear ratio for those tracks!

Drove all the way round then started working wtf half this vid drive around
Fast forward! Geez, it's a cool old machine. Enjoy.

Never mind shes Cat diesel powered! Sounds pretty good even still!

I did a thousand hours or so on similar as a kid. What a cool old thing....
Show more of the bulldozer.
BIG MUSKIE would love that pound!
I've been inside Muskie's bucket, this pond would be a single shallow skim cut.
Can't be in Louisiana or just the top of the cab would be sticking out of the mud lol...
At least we know that it runs drives and even drags a little bit
Works perfectly as intended.
I had inleys for over 25 years dug ponds all over central mich.

It wa a muddy mess when you started. What is the benefit here?
This is a filter pond, that has a stone floor that is porous. It is necessary to clean the bottom annually to maintain the filtering function.
What is the "clicking" sound I hear in the background? Not sure what it is.
Imagine the hassle of you got that dirty thing stuck
Lots of big CATs to pull it out!

Why not fill the bucket ?
He is scraping accumulated sediment off the permeable rock bottom. Basically, he is cleaning the filter. Thus he is getting most of what is there.
