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 sold it with the farm. I have not done much with it except pull the oil drain plug and got a lot of coolant out of it.
I am not sure what I am going to do yet, either fix/replace the Chrysler motor, find a different motor or just offer it for sale. I don't know much about the controls yet, but I have been reading forums and have been looking for literature. My dad worked in quarries and road construction when he got out of the service and older equipment has always interested me.
I try to add pics when I am able and figure out how.
