Man Saves Abandoned Oil Field Pump House From DESTRUCTION!!!! Part 3, COMPLETION!!!! 

Thank you!

Thank you!

Someone has to save it. Might as well be me!! Glad you enjoyed it!

How many barrels per day? When the priced dropped back in 2018 many 1 or 2 barrel per day wells were capped.

@@markjohnston2675 3 to.4 It varies sometimes 2 to 3

@@quagmiredavis4117 Nice...That could make a man look for more.

@@markjohnston2675 past 2 weeks 7 barrels a day But you will never see us use a Brigs and straton squirrel motor like I have seen in other videos .. its Fairbanks morse only and no excuse Not to keep using them only a lazy SOB would do this swap ..parts are still Available. We have many Fairbanks in use on family farm in Kentucky and Illinois Still pumping .. and producing

@@markjohnston2675 well at least sleepy Joe can't interfere with this oil supply I would have been one of the welders on the Keystone and inspecting welds but thanks to a senile Joe that job never happened

Thank you!

Thank you! I'll do it as much as I can!

Thank you!! I have alot of things going on in life right now (mostly self inflicted) and I found this to be something to take my mind off of everything else and was very calming.

Thank you!

Thank you! I hope to have it running soon!

Definitely the good ol days! Glad it brought up some good memories for you!

There will be move videos very soon!

Thank you!

Don't worry. I won't be painting anything. I want this all to looks as if it's been here the last 100 years!

Thank you, I'm glad you are enjoying it!

Thank you! Yes my plans are to make a short well casing that I can circulate oil into a drum and give the illusion it is pumping.

@@Cast_Iron_Curiosities That's really neat, I did that years ago in my teens. I had an old crank chemical pump attached to the pumpjack and just poured oil in it. It would pump the oil into the faux wellbore and eventually circulate to a tank. "playful things of destiny, probably they are!" - George W. Bilbo (a long gone resilient, dreaming Geologist)

Thank you

Actually his channel is *TheZachLife* I mean _Zach_ ending with _h_ instead of _k_

Thank you, I will have to check him out!

@@Cast_Iron_Curiosities No problem! I don't really knew anything about oil wells, but he seems like a really nice guy and he also knows what he's doing... I started watching his videos over a month ago because I've always seen oil pumps in background scenes in movies and TV series but I had never really seen one up close with all its components. And I suppose that seeing one was enough, but I liked his way of working and his ideas to build and repair things, so I subscribed and watched his other videos in my spare time, I still couldn't see all of them, now I also have to see yours ;-)

They are still pumping oil daily with that equipment.

The well was sold to a new operator that is going to continue to produce the well as it is. The new operator wanted the building removed. Normally these buildings are just pushed over and out of the way. I was able to save this one and reuse it as you seen in this video.

It's definitely a crude (pun intended) way of doing things!

Thank you, I'm trying to save as much of this old stuff as I can!

The well is still being produced by the well owner I got the building from.

Thank you, I will give his videos a look!
