1066 Koehring excavator start up. 

Thank you so much for showing off the old girl ( 1066) Koehring start up 😊❤ The real treat was you explained the AIR control for the levers and thumb PUSH connectors on the two main lever controls I am so fascinated by those old Air over Hydraulic operating systems 😊 I pick up old operator manual from Internet when people SELL them. For me personally I OWN a 1978 BE Dynahoe 190 2 wheel drive. I ran one in 1979 on a mainline sewer job. I dug side sewer stubs. I feel in love with just the stoutness of a Dynahoe compared to the Case 580-C that I first started on. We had a 680 & 780 case on that sewer job. The 680 had a hoepacker And 780 also dug side sewer stubs. When you talked about leaky cylinders, my Two front dump bucket cylinders leak badly. I just did the left one, now have to take off right one. My backhoe end has what Dynahoe called ( Twin-A-Trol control) basically joy sticks instead of the standard for Dynahoe 4 levers. On Dynahoe factory spec. It was set up with JD control ( the boom on left stick) mine is set up with Boom on right stick. What I found interesting about the 4 lever pattern it was just like a Case only the swing was on far right side ( and separation) of 4 lever with 2 stabilizer short levers in the middle. It has a Detroit Diesel (353) engine rated at (92 HP) its Wt. is (19400)

V12 in a full swing is crazy. Thanks for the cool video.

lol that little short stick on that looks crazy on that long boom 😂love seeing the old iron buddy thanks for sharing

Long boom keeps the operator from digging out underneath the machine... Nice safety feature..lol. Pretty cool old machine!! Thank you Nathan!

That excavator is a *MONSTER* Nathan! 😧 Detroit sounds healthy as well. Glad to see an upload from you my friend, happy wrenching 🔧🔩

Glad ya take time to post vids. I find all this old iron to be super cool. ESP this person(s) collection. The one offs in this guys set are wild n def for a carpenter like me who dreamed of heavy machine life it was the guys who ran this stuff that I thought had the coolest jobs!

I'm amazed these old Detroit two strokes have such a clean exhaust. A lot of well known four stroke stuff would be belching out smoke. Thank you for the video.

The long boom and short stick is for digging in the streets under power lines doing sewer. Pretty much standard setup on those. Don’t bother trying to run that in the winter , air lines freeze and it will do crazy shit.

I love those big old can lights on it! Very nice looking original Koehring

Great Video!.... I was wishing you would have at least turned around and given us a quick shot of what was (is) under the "hood" of that tracked Ford truck right next to the 1066. I could have sworn I saw a valve cover of a 6V71... could be mistaken... but, it sure looked like it.

Thing look like it was cared for! Good video

That is quite the machine! Weird with all the air operated controls but I guess it does the job. Thanks for the video!

Good video

Ernie Pestana in San Jose, Ca had a bunch of those 1066 hoes. I don't know if he had an 1166, but I know he eventually had two of the double-engine 1266 models. He was a BIG underground contractor in his day.

Is that yard apart of the leduc discovery museum? I have driven past that yard many times and drooled over the old relics.

Brilliant video thanks

great video, sounds great, I would give up on the glitchy effect on the text, very hard to read

Are you guys open to the public, or just somebody’s private personal collection

From the marks in the grass it was just running and moving so it's not like it's been sitting not started

With a sand bucket she could load a tandem dump with one scoop.

Take the motor junk the rest

Hey Iron Man, what is that weird track vehicle next to that monster didn’t see any comments on it so I figured that ass I’m only a minute into the video though

Thanks for the exhaust shot! Love that the Jimmy fired right up, that 12v71 just wants to go back to work. That’s a nice crisp sounding 12v71 though!
