    1951 Insley K-12

    Well the time has come to try to have someone else rescue this unit. I watched it in operation on a private farm until about 3 years ago when it was parked. The previous owner has since died and I bought it. The family said it quit running and all I have done is pull the oil drain plug and...

    Well, due to some recent events, I am not likely to be able to do anything with this unit. I don't want it to go to the scrap pile but that may be the only option. If anyone is interested in it, let me know. I will try to do an actual for sale post another time. I appreciate everyone's...

    Yes it is. Chrysler Industrial, Model IND, Type 14A-425, Serial No. 50243. I thought Massey used them, I wasn't sure about other makes. Thanks for your input. I am planning to watch auctions this spring and see what I can do.

    Hi all, I rescued? a dragline from the scrap man a couple years ago. It's an Insley K12, built for the US Corps of Engineers. It has a Chrysler Industrial engine and although I watched it in operation about 4 years ago, I was told it threw a rod. The man who owned it passed away and his family...
