The way you and your dad value each other's opinion is awesome. I lost my father when I was 20. Still hadn't deserved the right to give my opinion yet hahahaha. But seeing you both work makes me wonder how great of a team my father and I could have been!
Lon, I'm with you there. Dad had me on the smart-end of the tape setting up pole buildings and working the paycheck book (including taxes) when I was 13. Serve the guys a beer and write checks after figuring. Years after his death, still miss him greatly. Squatch and Senior are a formidable pair. Happy for them.
That's my great-grandfather's company. Relatives still live two blocks up the road from where the factory used to reside. East Main is still called Acme Road. We have several wooden "patterns" from the casting shop and quite a few sales brochures. Very cool. Looking forward to sharing your video with my father. Thanks!
I am very happy with the new project on your channel. It's good to see the two of you working together! Greetings to Mr. Senior and to you Squatch253! Greetings from Poland!!! Marcin
Some of the best moments in life are father and son moments,,,great to see you two enjoying working together,,,,miss my dad,,died in 1984,,was strong as a horse til Parkenson's came...great video!!
The felt pad lubrication was much like friction journals seen in railroad car practice prior to roller bearings. All of the shaft load was on one side leaving the opposite side for lubrication. Railroad practice used a cotton and wool yarn wad saturated with oil later used woven pads. The felt used the wool for springy quality and cotton for absorbency.
That should be fun to use when you get it up and running - and the rock that is crushed can be used as decor/landscaping around some of your future planned areas. Or, it could be sold to fund those areas!
The felt cap reproduction is the easy part, welding/brazing up and cutting the eccentric main shaft and flywheels, that will be the interesting part. Brian Block, in Kentucky, has the lathe the size of which, is capable of working on these parts. He might help out in a collaboration? Commercial job shop, OUCH!
@@johndowe7003 yeah, but the bearing cap to hold the Babbitt is missing. That doesn’t look as easy to make. Maybe you could cut a pipe in half and weld on some ears.
@@glennstasse5698 yea that would work , knowing this guy he'll bring out his steel foundry from behind the shed and cast his own flywheels and bearing caps😂
Man that thing is massive! Glad is going to a great home! Man is great to watch you and your dad work together as one unit! No bickering or disagreements! Just working well together!👌😎👍great job Squatch and Senior!
What a wonderful surprise. It is always good to hear from you, but I especially enjoy hearing from senior as I am a senior as well. I am very excited to see the rock crusher come to work. You grow such beautiful rocks! Thank you so much for all your fine work.
Awesome! A friend of mine had a rock crusher he used to bring to shows And crush rocks. It was pretty cool. He passed away a few years ago but it was bought by a member of our Club, One of our friends.
We saw this being hauled in on Rick’s trailer.. been waiting for the story.. Very cool old iron. Amazing the book is still with it. This will be fun to watch you find or make the missing bits, and get her making little stones again.
Looking forward to the project. And thanks for not giving us the typical headline: "I Bought the Cheapest Rock Crusher on the Internet! Will it Start?!"
Looking forward to the videos of this project. Lots of irons in the fire, but I hope you get started on this project soon. Missing parts, no problem. " So I made a foundry...."
Nice thing, looking forward to see it running again! I hope c-channel on the front where you put the jack on was bent that way from factory...the I-beam cutouts in the base was what I was worrying about, let's hope that the base beams are still straight and parallel, maybe because of their crookedness the whole thing is blocked... Great job so far, had some smiles about Senior's comments... 😂👍👍
Dont know why, got a chuckle out of "patent applied for" being cast right into the metal like that, really shows you how slow those legal processes are when things like this are being invented/manufactured
You need a nice big ACME anvil to go with your jaw crusher. Something tells me you are going to be doing a fair amount of hammering and thrashing on this one. I have an old cart mounted Jeffries 10"x16" jaw crusher/pulverizer all in one unit. Throw a limestone rock in the jaw, and it goes right into the pulverizer to make lime dust. Could also make sand with this unit or just bypass the pulverizer and just have the crusher run stone. Your ACME would look nice on a steel wheel cart. Have fun!
Looks like someone has already attempted to move it, considering the bent "C" channel up front. But, with what? A tank? The chain mail thing at the opening may have been to prevent breaking rock from EXITing the crusher. Thanks.
I live in Oregon. I’m sure you know resources for parts if possibly available. However here in the NW there is a great mining equipment company that mnfg parts for crushers. Mbmmco mount baker mining and metal co. A possible resource.
Get a big belt, and run it off of 5J 1113, bonus is no undercarriage wear. What kind of jack is that? Some kind of railroad jack? You are going to need a bigger shop crane to horse those big parts around.
You need very large concrete blocks as that sucker will fly off the blocks in two seconds ! Worked on many crushers this needs an adequate foundations there will be lots of vibrations too need an equal and opposite reaction to surprises this !
The bearing caps might be kinda hard to find, although if push comes to shoe, then having some made might be the ticket if you can find the specs for such pieces. That aside, what has me thinking of how to get such a thing around. Probably a devoted trailer/cart, I'd think steel wheel like an old prairie tractor. Still though, a nifty piece.
Glad to see you on a new project. I saw a crusher in operation here but it was only crushing limestone for a museum. Hope you can get that one to crush granite boulders.
I bought a good roads rock crusher a few years ago. My crusher was on 1 wheel the other 3 were broke off. It also has bucket elevator on it . Took me a few years to get it working .It is very worn out but it still works. . Got two of them for 850 dollars and sold one. I have it at our tractor show grounds. My crusher weights 5 ton when we put it on the scale. Good luck getting it working
OK… just found y’all’s channel. The first thing I saw was Squatch and the second I saw was the 253! Washingtonians I expect. Always good to see on here! We are in the cascade foothills and it’s nice to meet y’all!! Definitely a sub

Very interesting. We used to have a gravel screen with a Wisconsin engine, it's was loads of fun, always wanted a rock crusher, but never got one. Have fun.
I understand wanting old Caterpillars and Farmalls. Of course, a plow or two and an end loader seem right, too. But, frankly, it never occurred to me to want a rock crusher. Maybe after seeing you do something with this one, I'll get it. In any case, since you wanted one, glad you got it and got it at a right price.
anybody that has as many rocks as you do has need of a rock crusher an I'm sure any part not there you can make this is looking like the perfect project
Really interesting piece of historicle equipment there. I've absolutely no doubt that your going to get it restored to working condition and put it to work on the farm turnin' rocks into gravel. Thanks for some entertainment with your Dad there assisting Sir.
Definitely bought yourself a project very cool old machine I hope you can bring it back to life worse comes to worse you can scrap it and get most of your money back so what the hell
You've always wanted a Rock Crusher, Sass, but you got it all wrong..... Apparently you've never owned a GM truck!!!!!!😂 The added cage on top was to keep it from spitting rocks back out, These things didn't like Blue Rock very much and could shoot them out twenty feet away.........
Oh, you got this. This is EAAASY for someone of your skill set and mechanical ability. It won't be easy (physically) but mechanically, this is a breeze compared to the stuff you've restored and fixed out in the past. Plus, it's Babbitt bearing, you can recast these 1000 times, over and over and over again. They know no death. Keith Rucker (here on YT, of Vintage Machinery has plenty of videos if you feel you need a refresher on Babbitt casting). Now... the question is. What would you need to use to power this mahoosive beast? :))
Babbitt is possible, but I think phosphor bronze is, also. I guess it depended on what worked best for the environment it was in. The book probably specifies, but I didn't see that in what he showed of it.
@@infoanorexic Both are ok for this kind of stuff. I've taken Babbitt out of a 5 ton shaft winch wheel that a customer wanted as a center piece. But yeah, the book has the right material specified in it, more than likely since they probably made the shaft finished specced for either. Whilst they are generally ok, Babbitt will want more lubrication than PB as far as i know (which is why i thought it had Babbitt since he mentioned those oil soaked felt pad cups that were missing.
I remember the crunch sound these crushers made as they would breakup rock. I ran a washing plant in a iron mine that I worked at when I was in college.

Enjoying your adventures. Down here in Florida 71 and retired, physically can't do much anymore..living vicariously through your videos!
Wow Squatch, you are crushing it with this new project!!!
The rebuilt paper pulley on that PTO will be put to good use running this beast. Hope you can somehow find or create the missing bearing caps.

Let the new gravel driveway begins lol.
Yeah would love one of those myself to make mine on driveway
Interested to see what will power it and how the material comes out.
“Shimming your Bearings with Beer Cans” … must have been part of the course work back in the day. Nice piece of old iron.

What an amazing opportunity. Good for you. You kept a part of history from being destroyed, like many other things.
What a beautiful piece of historical machinery! Heck, even if you can't get it working, it would make a great display.
I suspect that it will be the most well-known rock crusher in existence!
Every home should have one of these modern domestic appliances 😂
Looks like it will be a great project I’m confident you will get it fixed up and working thanks for sharing
Restoring this crusher would be a great series!
Looking forward to the project.

Just what you need, another small project! lol
Using the Metric, Whitworth, Standard Nut Rounder Hammer for it's designed purpose.
Look like a cool project to restore .
Your rock pile is going to shrink once this beast is up and running .
Dont know why, got a chuckle out of "patent applied for" being cast right into the metal like that, really shows you how slow those legal processes are when things like this are being invented/manufactured
Squatch owns all the tools you could want except a bloody 🔨, but use’s the next best thing a crescent wrench. You tell it how it is Snr👨🏼🔧 👍🏴

I see another use for the RD-6 in the future, I'd have a tough time believing a D2 would have the power to spin that thing. 🤷♂
@@squatch253 Why would diesel be ok @20HP and not gasoline? My FORDSON runs on kerosene. It has an 8" paper pully. and is rated 25 HP.

Squatch if you get this home, say on a trailer make the trailer it's home. To move this on and off a trailer is not quick or easy.
I look forward to seeing it fixed up and put to use.
Awesome purchase - it should serve you well after the rebuilding/refurbishing process.
hi there kind of just did the same thing . bought a 60 foot conveyor . need my head checked . you know those 2 parts are around there john
Excited to see the rebuild and destruction of those rocks!
You need very large concrete blocks as that sucker will fly off the blocks in two seconds ! Worked on many crushers this needs an adequate foundations there will be lots of vibrations too need an equal and opposite reaction to surprises this !
Now we see where 5j and it’s rear pto will be engaged

I think that the scrap man would have factored in the $300 it would cost to collect it. I like saving old machines, they were built to last!

I know you got the old rock crusher home. Like to know when your planning on getting it running again. Have a good one
So keen to see this repaired and working!
Are there foundries in your area to have new caps cast? What's the possibility they are laying right there in the dirt?
