- 1971 Insley Excavator abandoned after clearing land for a horse farm. Sitting for years, is it too far gone? Owner says it ran when parked in 2000, but does that mean this tractor will run TODAY??

I am absolutely humbled by the amount of support everyone has shown. I was expecting a few hundred views and maybe 50 subscribers over the course of months. Thank you all SO MUCH! I am more determined than ever to provide some good quality content.
Get on with it then bud.
Get a good 4k camera they are not that expensive
Not really feeling the determination.
Great job figuring out the air starvation problem. The blower has a flapper inside that blocks off all air intake to the blower and engine. This is called the emergency shutdown flapper. It is used in the case of a runaway situation. It should be spring loaded to close once the cam is turned at the side where the cable attaches. This little 4-71 sounds great. You took a very large gamble starting this engine without checking to see if the rack was stuck. Had the rack been stuck, you would have had a runaway situation.
I did have a plastic cover from one of my totes ready to block off the intake just in case. But you’re totally right. Having done more research afterwards, I noticed that everyone checks the rack. Thanks for the advice once again!
I was thinking the same as a fact the 1st attempt not knowing it was on an aid I thought it was going to run off when it was started.
Scared the dust off the girlfriend im sure,she ran fast as a rabbit,ha!!!!cool beans dude,that scared me when you made it move outside the cab,you got brass balls friend!!snooky pa.💥👍💥
@@allensnook7760 haha it was a good time, thank you!
Your bro i love these old relic more tlc you give them they well teach you thier histort life
Great first video. Pace yourself at the beginning by doing part 1 and part 2. It's people like you that gives us the joy of watching the old machinery come back to life. Thanks for sharing. From Miami Florida
Thank you for the advice and kind words!! I really appreciate it!
Another thing to think about is when you get first movement out of something you just got running don’t do it in the dark either have plenty of light set up or wait till the next day to film it
Why Part 1 and Part 2? It doesn't make any sense for this machine to be several parts.
If he starts trying to drag out these videos into several videos I know I would not have patience watching.
Don't give him bad advices now when he is starting up his new channel.
Man I hope someone saves it. Breaks my heart when people scrap old iron.
You need to buy it and save it from the scrap man that thing deserves to be fixed as good as that Detroit runs
Im sure you know this but for those who dont on any old Detroit that's sat for a long time check that the fuel rack moves freely and have a board big enough to cut off the air supply so you can prevent a run away
Thanks for the tips! I did have a plastic lid from a tote ready just in case of a runaway situation for covering the intake
@@badstackdiesel7596 great video, Keep them coming!
A 82 year old retired Diesel mechanic here.You did a great job for your first one.The extra noise was me hollering instruction to you.I will be waiting on your next job.
''Diesel Creek'' could be a good resource for info.
I’ve been a subscriber of his for years! Great channel
I just found your channel and love watching old machines come back to life, I had a mental vision of this thing starting and tracking down the hill while rotating with no way to stop because of rusty cables and levers, thankfully it didn't happen, great job. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞
Thank you very much!! Haha I’m glad that didn’t happen too!! I thought it was for a minute
In case you don't know, Detroits of that era are 2 stroke diesels and the blower is required for them to run. They actually have holes halfway down the piston liners where the blower forces in air while simultaneously forcing out the exhaust. They run like this: down stroke= exhaust/intake, and up stroke is compression and fire. And rinse and repeat 😂. Just some info on old Detroits in case you didn't know
Thank you for the info!
The blower is necessary for the engine to run; it’s not a power adder like a turbo or a supercharger. The 2-stroke creates no vacuum, so the blower forces air into the cylinders. There are going to be a bunch of people that will say that because it has a blower, it’s not naturally aspirated but you can’t run a Detroit without it. Great Vid man. Keep that old iron alive, we’re gonna need it. This plastic computerized shit nowadays would never last 20 years sleeping in a field. Too cool
@@dh-_1011 thanks for the info! And thanks for the kind words!!
Retired qualified diesel mechanic . You just got yourself a subscriber . Keep at it, its a dirty job but someone have to do it !
Thank you very much!
I can’t wait to see how you grow on TH-cam! I enjoy watching the troubleshooting process and turning something unwanted or thought to be useless into something useable again! Good job for your first video!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
Very cool!! Enjoying it so far! I like the gritty mechanical work shots, excellent POV and I really enjoyed that you are able to explain the machine and mechanisms without over-explaining. Digging it!! Looking forward to more!
Thank you very much!
Thanks for sharing your adventure!!
Thanks for watching!! Many more in the works!
Wow!!! Please don't let that old soul get scrapped as that machine is a big part of Americans history
Good start. Don’t give up too easily. Tackle those leaks just one at a time. Inch by inch and it is a cinch
Words to live by!! Thanks!
I absolutely love classic machinery, from classic gasoline engine cars and trucks to the biggest diesel engines. Congrats on getting that Detroit running and I wish you all the success in your channel, I'm subscribing right now from Orleans Mass here on Cape 👍☮️🦈
Thank you so much!!
I like your plain and simple videos
I`m no diesel expert, but I gather from watching other videos that diesel engines have a fuel return hose that sends unspent fuel back into the fuel tank. So, while it appeared that this unit was `drinking up` all the fuel in your diesel can, it only looked that way because the unspent fuel was actually being sent back into the diesel fuel tank on the machine instead of back into your can.
Nice video, though !
Great point! Haha I definitely had a brain cramp on that one! At least diesel is cheap… NOT
You should check the oil again to see if it milky. The over full level indicates that water has possibly gotten into the engine. It would have been better to crack the oil drain plug first to see if there was water at the bottom of the pan. If there is then drain the water out first.
Great tip! I’ll be sure to check this next time I see that the oil is “overfilled”. I appreciate the advice!!!
Hate to see that beautiful piece of history get scraped!
Great video!!! Can't wait to see more!!!
Love the video man! Interesting fact about those old detroits is they have to have that blower to run as a 2 stroke diesel won’t have any intake vacuum without it (I have a good friend with an old 253 Detroit Deere Dozer and that’s how I figured that one out!)
Great video for being new to this. I hope your channel grows like crazy and would love to maybe do a will it start video with you sometime in the future, because I have access to many old trucks and equipment that have not run in years. Take care
Thank you very much!! Lots more on the way! And that would be awesome!
Cool find, neat machine, lots of effort on your part, thanks for al the work and for posting!
Thank you for the kind words! More videos are on the way!
Very good presentation. Best of luck to keep the old stuff alive.
Thank you so much George!
Great job keep the. Video's coming.
Thank you!! And absolutely!
Just came across your Channel, i watch Hamilton Farms channel but i look forward to watching your Videos. Good luck man!
Thank you so much! Lots of videos in the works, stay tuned!!
I'm along for the ride my dude! I don't know much about turning wrenches but I am looking at an International TD-6 Crawler tomorrow.. it's been sitting for a couple years but I'm hopeful that it will fire up. I have been cruising youtube watching "will it start" videos and soaking up the knowledge. Keep em coming man!
Awesome! And thank you!
Need to get in touch with Diesel Creek or Dirt Prefect they normally try to save old machines from scrap
I’ve been following them for years! Great channels
awesome job getting her to start roll and operate with what you had. Hope to see you grow on youtube, camera work is is fine way better then alot of others so keep it coming looking forward to it
Thank you so much!
Great video thanks for posting
Thank you!!
Not hating on other TH-camrs and how they make videos but This just goes to show that ya don’t need GoPros and fancy equipment to make good videos keep up the awesome work god bless you and your family!!
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it.
You just gained another subscriber! I also love old equipment and can’t wait to see more on the f800 project
Thank you so much! I’m working on a video to get everyone up to speed on the F800 and reveal my plans for it. Thanks again for following along, it means a lot!
No need to apologise for bad cameramanship. my videos have been rough and ready since I joined in 2006!
Good to see old machines being brought back to life. Best of luck with your channel young man!
Wow, 2006! That's awesome! And thank you so much!!
Keep up the good work!!!!
Insley is in a class by itself. I used to run a dragline about that size, either a 3-71 or 4-71. It'd dig. And you'll get it. The long sticks are boom and swing. The stick and bucket curl are on the floor pedals. It'll run fine in a while. Bantam hoes were set up the same way and latch the emergency stop down. Then you can use it again if needed. GBWYall! And you're put of hydraulic oil. That's why the pump is growling.
That’s awesome! I’d love to come across one of those draglines and do a full comparison someday. Haha those leaks were pretty extreme, I’m surprised it moved at all near the end. I’ll start bringing a bucket or 2 of hydraulic oil along
@@badstackdiesel7596 Some folks have even welded levers to the floor pedals. I could run a 4-lever easier than those pedals. Just like an old Ford 4-lever hoe.
@@lewiemcneely9143 I was actually wondering if that was doable! Have you ever seen someone convert skid steer foot controls for the bucket to hand controls?
@@badstackdiesel7596 Case did it and probably went to pilot valve wobble sticks like everybody else as an option but older Case machines had mechanical linkages to the valves from the handles. You moved the directional handle ends out and in (hinged) to control boom and bucket curl.
I just joined; I like to watch the resurrection of old diesel-heavy equipment! Good luck; looking forward to future videos.
Awesome!!! Thank you so much! I just came back from visiting an abandoned John Deere 310 deep in the woods. Looks like a good candidate
Insley Excavators and Cranes made in Indianapolis,IN..last ones off the line were in the early 1980's..they were bought out by Badger then Terex..
Enjoyed the video ,not to shabby .Well done
Thank you very much Tom!!
A little patience a little ingenuity and a little persistence and you got it running yeah yeah good job
It's quite possible to that 875 was the first insley excavator I ever ran. My dad worked for a contractor out of Newton who had exclusively Insley excavators in the 70s and 80s. From 875 to 3500 size which was 120k lb let me know if you need any help with these beasts
Thanks! I may take you up on that!!
Love watching you remember its not about your camera work its the content looking forward to the next one all very best wishes from SOUTHAMPTON ENGLAND UK
Thank you so much, this means a lot!!
Well done, excellent video, looking forward to more !!
Those old Insleys had left hand swing and right hand hoist.
Thanks for the info! I hope I get a second chance to operate one of these machines!
Watching from the uk loved it
Thank you so much Anthony!!! That means a lot!
Bad stack, good effort getting the old girl working. All your camera work will sort itself out over time, having knowledge of the machine and relaying to the viewers is terrific. Love the old machines. I’m a sub. Go man. Bravo from Victoria Australia
Thank you SO MUCH!!
I was here when the journey started....cool
Yes sir! Thank you so much!
Few things that may help ya out on the next Detroit the blower is required to run unlike a turbo the door is an emergency shutdown to cut the air and the biggest thing is look into checking the fuel rack is free these have a tendency to stick over time and you got very lucky it was free and always have a board easily accessible to cover the intake if it takes off the rack is under the vaulve cover it’s also how it shuts down
Thank you for the info! I appreciate it!
Great job my man...if you ever need a wing man I'm in S. VT!
I will definitely keep that in mind!
Keep up the great work! Looking forward to keeping up with you on your channel!!
Thank you so much!!
Nice work what you have zip tied on the blower is your emergency stop it goes up into the cab with that stop handle. Those Detroits will run on any thing i have a Insley L crane that was a junk yard machine and was running on used oil and heating fuel oil.
Thank you for the info!! I was wondering what that stop handle was supposed to do! I’ll have to look up that model crane. I’m so curious about the history of the company since there is hardly anything info online.
Well done you worked wonders with that old machine Very best wishes from ENGLAND UK
That's the emergency stop in case the engine runs away....you shut the air off.
Thanks for the info!!
I'm in, you can tape part of a cotton ball over the mic of the phone, do a few tests to see how much to use and how to tape it. super cheap way to reduce wind noise. camera work isn't bad actually but you need one of those flexible tripods for the phone so you can set it down when totally necessary, while making it easier to hold and switch to selfie. Some cheap ways to get by till you can afford better equipment. Keep the content coming.
I’ll give that a test for sure! Thanks for the tip! And thank you for watching!
Well done!
Okay, following now. Get some big Iron on the channel. That'd work!
That’s the goal! Thank you!!!
Being your first video and starting with the Insley. Good job.
Thank you!!
Hi, I just did a search on safari and they have quite a bit of info on the Hensley H-875, including service manuals etc on a side AG-KITs
Enjoyed the video, first start was a success.
Thank you!!
Bad stack good luck l love these type shows . I see you doing well
I liked.
Please tell me your not getting her running just to scrap her. I would like to recommend getting a phone tripod, they are super handy, and even a cheap one off amazon is better than nothing when the wife or a friend isnt available to hold the phone. Keep it up, hope to see your channel grow further!!
Thank you so much! I don’t own this machine, I found it on marketplace and offered to get it running in hopes the owner may re-think scrapping it. Not sure what it’s fate will be
@@badstackdiesel7596 might be worth calling Diesel Creek, probably would make a good partner machine for his insley dragline
I love the content you will be posting you got my support.
Thank you!!!
Haven't watched the video yet but it's a Detroit I have no doubt it will not run
Great job on your first video I suggest your first investment is a tripod. 👍👍👍
Absolutely! And thank you!
I'm enjoying the content thus far. Keep it going, my friend.
Thank you so much!!
Great job
Thank you very much!!!
I'm a old guy been around machinery most of my life got a couple pieces I've got to running just remember if man built it you can make it run just have to figure out if it's worth the cost
Insley power💪👍🇺🇸❤️
😎😎
I like the pipe fix.
Thank you, it’s not a great way to do it, but if you let the JB cure for 24 to 48 hours, it usually holds better than it did.
Try talking to Matt he has his own channel Diesel Creek. He knows alot about those kind of odd ball machines. Love your channel keep it up bud
Just so people that don’t know know. The supercharge isn’t for extra power. It won’t run without it. Where it’s two stroke it needs the forced induction to actually push the air in to the cylinders.
Thank you for clarifying! Great info
The blower provides no extra power, its only purpose is to help scavenge air and push the exhaust out the ports since it has no exhaust valves.
Oh wow, very interesting! I gotta do more research on these engines
Good video for the equipment you have - suggestion get something to hold phone or prop it up and show your doing the work.
Absolutely, next videos are much better.
I would suggest hitting the drive chains with PB or anything really, but hay it runs and pretty good too
Dig will it start videos looking through your videos they all look very interesting I will watch all of them
way to go it started but in dark you will not see leaks would of been better for day light to see what leaks friend...?.
you should buy it, the repair videos would make some good content for your channel
I wanted to, just couldn’t afford to get it from Massachusetts to Maine. With diesel prices right now, shipping is ridiculous
Great job getting it to turn over
Thank you very much Scott!!
@@badstackdiesel7596 I am not 100% but they only made a few of those excavators before either john Deere or caterpillar took it over but that is my guess
@@scottlambert2949 interesting! I keep looking for more history on the Insley brand, if I find out anything more I will share an update with everyone:)
@@badstackdiesel7596 OK that's great
Subbed. I like this kind.
No ! Not a super charger that is a blower driven by internal gears. The blower is really a scavenger pump. That's how the the engine runs. Also the 12 cylinder is not 2 inline 6 s. It the 6-93 used for the smaller 12vs . Used in forstery equipment. Theirs a bigger 12 variation that's a thing of its own.
Thanks for the info!!
well i love that you got it going. now you should learn to wait till it's light out and the time is right for your viewers.
good luck with your channel you can never have too many "will it start" videos!
Thank you very much! Haha they are very satisfying, and I absolutely love making them!
Good job
Every gland every hose will need replacing. I've been waking up or cutting up the old stuff for forty years!
I just googled Insley. Retired heavy equipment mechanic here. Never heard of this brand. One of the Insley models is Kenebogen. This sounds German or @Scandinavian. Not sure, just a guess. I am finding lots of running model of the 840.
Interesting! Thanks for the info
Good vid mate.
Keep them coming.
🇭🇲
Thank you! I have more in works. Thanks for watching!!
Great video, you're going to need a small gas driven compressor, a carry around torch set ,and a case of Kroil( I like it better than Pb Blaster) just my opinion. Do you get to Worcester often, the Tool Shed is a great source for good used tools.
I actually drive through Worcester a lot! I work in Connecticut and southern Mass almost every week. Thanks for the tips and info! I’ll definitely swing by the Tool Shed when I get a little spending money
Ain't nothing better than one of them old 471 Detroit two-stroke screaming Jimmy oh yeah Detroit Diesel screamin Jimmy hell yeah
Hey Man, just subbed. Keep up the great work. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you very much!! That means a lot!
Hi from UK just found your channel subscribed !!
Well done good luck crack on really enjoyed it
well done m8 wicked good on u
Thank you Jason!!
VERY good job from a new subscriber.
Thank you so much!
DUDEZILLA! Sure there are things to 'TWEEK' on your videos BUT like with everything in life, YOU LEARN AS YOU GO!!!! FYI- it did NOT stop me from subscribing! WOO HOO!!!!!!
Thank you SO MUCH!!! I really appreciate it!
You say “ 1971 “ like it’s a hundred years ago ! I rebuild outboards that are over 100 years old ! I guess for you being young 51 years ago seems like back when Noah had his Arc and the Dodge brothers made engines for Ford and 2 world wars ! I’ll say this you stuck to it until she ran ! Nice job 👍
I like reminding people of the age because if it was a 2001 machine it most likely would not have survived nearly as well sitting for 20+ years.
And thank you!!
Hope they don't scrap it. Be a fun project machine.
Like the content, subscribed.
Thank you so much!

@@badstackdiesel7596 and yet , you have made no more videos.....🤣
