So let’s find out if this old beast has what it takes to drive itself out of it’s grave and onto a second life! Today’s plan is to dive a bit more into the engine to see if we can get any more power from it, and then figure out if this machine is able to move all by itself... if it can, then we’ll figure out how to get it moved back to the shop where we can deal with it’s many issues, and eventually put it back to work for decades to come! ~ Can we SAVE this excavator from it’s impending DOOM, otherwise known as the SCRAP YARD? I was contacted by a gentleman who had an “Old Track Hoe“ on their property, and they need it gone! They’re cleaning up the property, and this machine was not something they thought could be saved. His cousin is a diesel mechanic, and he came out and took a look and said it just ISN’T worth saving or getting up and running... He might be RIGHT, let’s find out together! Join me as we go through this 1978 Insley H-800 Excavator and TRY to figure out everything wrong with it so we can determine if it’s a machine REALLY worth saving... or if it’s another one that should be melted down & made into paper clips. This excavator weighs 22 Tons, is 9“ 11“ wide, and about 32’ long. It has a 36“ bucket and 30“ track-pads, and it’s SO over built that it’s hard to explain with words! The machine is EXTREMELY simple with little to NO electronics on it at all, and that’s the kind of machine I like to SAVE! If we’re able to save it, it will definitely outlast our lifetimes, and probably even our children’s with just a little bit of care! This old Insley has the iconic 4-71 Detroit Diesel engine, and as we quickly figured out, it’s stuck and has major issues, so HOPEFULLY we’re able to over come those problems, or this machine is doomed from the start! The goal is to determine if the machine is good enough to load itself onto a lowboy trailer and get back to Salvage Workshop. This machine is nowhere close to home, and it would be an incredible challenge dragging this 44,000 lb dead tracked machine onto a trailer, and to accomplish that it would be a serious project and would require quite a bit of big machinery to accomplish that task. So to put it BLUNTLY, if it won’t LOAD itself, then it’s NOT coming home to Salvage Workshop! Let’s just hope my Instincts are correct, and I picked a “winner“, I guess we’ll find out together! This should be a LOT of fun! So sit back, relax, and enjoy the process of attempting to save this Old Track Hoe from becoming paper clips, or fencing, or sheet metal, or hammer heads, or whatever! ~ Thanks as always for watching and following along with all my crazy adventures here on Salvage Workshop, I TRULY appreciate it!
