Dom, Dom, Dom I would have thought that after the spider invasion you'd have learned to clean (power wash) things off before dragging things into your shop!
Comment from : ND Roughrider

Why didn't you paint the crane body first before fitting the hydraulics
Comment from : Peter Clarke

Dom, enjoying watching the videos, but it frustrates me to see you doing Vlogs while driving Please concentrate on the drive and do vlogs when stationary
Comment from : Gareth Lean

YES ! ! More light is ALWAYS better Get some more gas Produce more videos 356?

Thanks
Comment from : SAMRODIAN

I was so worried that you didn't have a hard hat on when you were standing under that upper have trying to free it with heat Dom 😳
Comment from : John JB

Can I mention the elephant in the room, or should I say coffee Land Rover?
Comment from : Simon Birt

Could be worse, you could be an astronaut 😁
Comment from : David Austin

Dom turns crane into giant catapult Perfect 😃
Comment from : Brian Reardon

Great project, could do with something like that myself when lifting chucks and huge faceplate onto my Colchester Triumph lathe 👍👍
Comment from : Paul Muff

The oxy did the trickThe Ranala is so close to finished its definetly time to start a new project They take time to ramp up first stage pulling apart is slow, repair can be fast depending how fussy you are, nice work on the wheels I would have kano kroiled for weeks with gentle hammering laying down a normally vertical machine picked up a few big pillar drills, love to watch thats a serious crane the bridgeport saddle can support x Kg
Comment from : beautifulsmall

Totally loving the resto of the wheeler I was trained on the exact tool in the 1970’s as an apprentice at Vauxhall Motors Ltd I ended up as a “body in white” engineer in AJ Block experimental making panels for the die presses Get yourself some Aero Kroil penetrating oil you won’t regret itPS get yourself a decent socket set and a nut gun Lol
Comment from : Tim Arnold

That crane would have been a good project for the Repair Shop! Do you have the facility to donate with Paypal? Regards Keith
Comment from : Welsh Rambler

Great effort be and watch ability 👍🏼
Comment from : robert clarkson

Have i seen your face in the tv series the repair shop?
Comment from : Henk Heemskerk

Dom, another great save brHad you not thought of using your car lift to lift and lay the Ranalah on its back?
Comment from : Vaun Richards

Ah, if I just had one of those restored kerosene fueled blow torches in my shop, I probably could have kept working even without oxygen Well, guess I need to get one on a flee-market and buy one :-)
Comment from : Ahriman

Not to plan is to plan to fail ! Check you have what you need before you start Anyway you should be sorting out that nice little Epco engine hoist with the bent leg - super cranes - I have the slightly bigger model
Comment from : Andrew Mawson

Great video, I fear for your back Take care, best wishes
Comment from : Roy Davies

Thanks
Comment from : Steve Bloomfield

Good old British engineering loved that large castle nut on the caster and the fact that they used roller bearings instead of ball bearings, I guess they take more load Its going to look good when its all painted and being used in your workshop Thanks for sharing
Comment from : Steves Consul

Thanks
Comment from : Ray Thomas

I was looking forward to seeing it getting fully restored Ah well, good to see old items getting brought back to life I have an old Guyson shot blast cabinet in my shed waiting to be put back to working order
Comment from : Liam Brady

Thanks
Comment from : Peter Webber

Watch Cutting Edge Engineering Australia to see some really big lathes in use as well as other various engineering and lots of welding
Comment from : Matt Rutter

How about an impact socket set to get your nuts and bolts undone and done up again?? brLove seeing old stuff brought back to a useful life Good on you
Comment from : David Allinson

Good to see the tools getting used again! Can't wait to see how this turns out Btw how did the Ranalah get on its back too?brbrAlso more Porche soon please!
Comment from : inhand07

I've not read all the other comments so I might be the only one to say ditch the god awful music It's terrible and you don't need it, it detracts from otherwise super videos Keep up the good work and stay safe
Comment from : Chris Hamilton-Wearing

I have an old advert here from a copy of the "engineering" weekly dated 1940 It's for Stauffer engine hoists It says"so simple a girl can use it" looks like your crane
Comment from : Mercmad

I don't know about you but i don't function with out a coffee so have a couple on me ,keep up the good work ,Hopefully catch up with you in Bicester next time your there stay safe
Comment from : Gary Wright

Thanks!
Comment from : Gary Wright

Great content as usual Looking forward to the next instalment Thank you for the video Dom👍🏻👌🏻
Comment from : Kevin Simpson

Thanks
Comment from : Steve MacDonald

Really enjoying your content every week Happy to give a little help, in repairing the Ranala and the Craine is great! Thanks
Comment from : Simon Goulding

Wow, that was a great video, I wonder how many pieces of perfectly serviceable machinery end up as scrap every year just because the are old and a bit rusty Well done for rescuing another brilliant it of kit (Take time to look after your back)
Comment from : Damien Purcel

Dom, another fantastic video as usual Can’t wait for the next one If you need some extra heavy duty lockable castors, I have some I could send to you foc if it helps your project at all They have been lying around in my garage for long enough! All the best!
Comment from : Mitch Rankin

Hi Dom what is happening with the coffee land-rover?
Comment from : Reg Chapman

You get such cool projects to work on, if I lived close enough, I would be happily be down for the weekend to help out The crane has certainly done some time lounging around, will be great to see it back to a working condition
Comment from : Three-phase

Thanks
Comment from : Esteban Barbalarga

Is that the coffee defender in the background?
Comment from : Roger Bond

shame you couldn't fix the hydraulics, would have been a good repair
Comment from : Paul Whitehouse

Thanks
Comment from : A B

I just tried to donate but was automatically refunded straight away Not sure what's wrong with the system
Comment from : Steve MacDonald

Thanks!

Comment from : Charles Barraball

Just watching you working on that crane brought back memories of me in the motor trade 40 yrs ago doing same sort of thing restoring my 1937 Wolseley 15/60 All those lovely rusted bolts and pivots all solid and the eureka moments when they free off Happy days :)
Comment from : Michael

Thanks!
Comment from : Frances

i can see in the back ground you have a Hanalah on its back how did you do that without a crane?
Comment from : Roy Wells

Keep up the good work
Comment from : Peter Stokes

Great Video Invest in an Impact Driver to undo all those rusty nuts and bolts,also save you a lot gas!brCheers
Comment from : Neal Poston

You're braver than I, Dom, for taking these projects on However, to quote Nevil Shute, ‘Maybe we’re too apt to scrap things in the States’brbrOne thing, I would have used an extreme pressure grease rather than lithium general purpose: the EP grease will hold up to the line contact better without breaking down and also regular lithium grease can become hard with timebrbrCheers, Charlie
Comment from : Charlie Creswell

great work, but please work safe it would make it very hard for us to live vicariously if you are dead 😃brbras a side note, are you sure the rear castors are original? they look both too light duty for the crane and are pressed metal not fabricated from flat sheet/angle like the rest of it
Comment from : whatnowstinky

Glad it's not just me, running out of stuff I need halfway through a job I love the fact your using something to lift something that is probably as old as the item your lifting And how many of us had done something where we thought, nope that's not going to work, too late! 🤣😂🤣
Comment from : Everest Yeti

Project - fix crane, brnew project - take it apart and move it,brnew project - rebuild crane wheels ;-)
Comment from : Keith Squawk

Love what you are doing and your enthusiasm, but just a thought, but why do you need to put it on its back? the top axle needs to be parallel with the lower roller cradle axle mounts so some form of jig attached to the lower wheel mount to reference the upper axle?
Comment from : Mark Allinson

Great content- I,m sure it will worth all you effort Onwards & upwards
Comment from : John Hicks

Thanks!
Comment from : West Aussie Jeff

Great video Dom, just don't walk under an un-proped jib arm even if you do think it's seized Also have a backup in case you burn or injure yourself when doing hotworks 😱🥸
Comment from : Peter Clayton

really cool engine crane, never seen one like that! maybe that could be the next old design you bring back!
Comment from : Tanner P

I’ve only read a few comments but it’s fairly obvious we were all worried about youbrYou really need to be more careful Where are we going to get more videos like this ?brHopefully we’ll have more results next week, if Health & Safety don’t shoot you for dangerous practices 😂😂brPS if you get those rear castors restored, I think you should call the crane Lazarus 😂😂
Comment from : Dave Flatters

Hi Dom good video could you not use the car lift to assist ?
Comment from : James Taylor

Thanks
Comment from : Eric Stammers

I'm surprised you didn't try cleaning those bearings and other small parts in your electrolysis bath would that help release them?
Comment from : Daniel Clark

My OCD was screaming "sandblast it, paint it, and do it properly", and whilst my OCD meter is on high, tidy up your workshop :-)
Comment from : John Smith

Maybe get an induction heater for doing the nuts It would be cheaper than using gas and you won't run out of electricity
Comment from : The Impatient Brewer

Thanks
Comment from : David Hornblow

oh tell me about it DomI have to make a tool to make a jig to support a part that makesetc that's the story of my projects too !
Comment from : Like a Kite

Thanks
Comment from : Andy Carter

Dom! There's never going to be a better opportunity to paint the crane! Get your self a wire brush and some Hammerite You know it makes sense
Comment from : Richard Hathaway

Another brilliant episode in the journey that is the workshop Thank you and please try to work as safe as you reasonably can I did hold my breath for a few moments, lol Cheers mate

Comment from : mgb961

Great video, as always I can completely relate to needing to do one thing before you can do another I'm glad you saved that magnificent shop crane See it is a reminder to all of us that we need to keep a roof over our collection I cannot count how many wonderful old things I've found rotting in a field, and the owners won't protect them or sell them Such a loss to us all, really For me, I limit everything to only what I can work on right in the moment or in the next little while If I can't say for sure I'll get it in the shop and finished within a year, I can't add it to the collection I've missed out on a lot of stuff, I'm sure, but I'm thoroughly addicted to old stuff and have to be very careful about feeding that addiction!
Comment from : Three Rivers Forge

Im sure you can pour your babbit in position (no need to tip) look into foundry sand box set up should flow nicely ask you foundry man he should be able to explain the process
Comment from : stan

Thank you
Comment from : Promiscuous

No gas…hells bells Dom These things are sent to try You did a lot of work on the associated parts of the crane in dismantling - so that’s something Looking forward to the next great video
Comment from : moonstarer55

Dom, please, please, get yourself some Whitworth spanners and stop using the adjustable for these jobs!
Comment from : Kurbelweller

Thanks
Comment from : John Dodd

Comment from : Jon M

I am certain I have a photograph or have seen one of that sort of crane being used to change the engine in a Spitfire during the war The trouble is knowing where to start to look in fourth plus years of archive! Harvey Frost certainly supplied the military and I am sure there were still some like yours about in the early Eighties
Comment from : Neil Scully

Great video Dom will be amazing to see the engine crane back together and working again soon and being used around your workshop ♥️👍👍👍👍
