Our 50 year old International 4030 Yard Crane hasn’t been sounding the best so it’s time to fix her up! We need to replace a blown head gasket and do a service by replacing all the oil and filters. First, we give it a wash down before disassembling everything to remove the cylinder head from the motor. We remove the injectors from the cylinder head before giving it a clean up. Then we install the new head gasket and reassemble the motor before replacing all of the coolant, oil and filters. After we get it fired up and the motor running, we check the rocker arms and valve clearances before finish assembling the rest of the parts back onto the motor. We’d say this was a successful job done to our Old girl and it’s going to be sad to see her go!

@1:57 With all those critters, I'd just sell it.....or maybe just set it on fire.

@SeanBZA Год назад

Turbo would be overkill on there, biggest improvement would be just to put a silencer on it, and also upgrade the hydraulic lines to the lift cylinders, improving lift speed. Then fix the Donaldson, and put a cover over the engine. 2 rolls of masking tape, 5l of yum yum yellow, and it will be a brand new crane again.

Your Frana Crane series alone has so far been as educational as my college major was. The whole CEE series is like a master course in grad-level material science, mechanical insignts, perseverance hard work and grit (both kinds) despite the frustration and inevitable difficulty of life, and I'll keep watching and posting as I figure out more great things I'm getting from these videos that I thought I was using just to entertain myself. Sometimes the best education is the one you weren't expecting, so thanks for that! If you had set this up as an formal educational channel, I think it would not be anywhere near as good. I think the best real learning often comes instead from genuine interest and casual explication not explicitly meant to "school" or impart, but just fulfill curiosity and answer natural questions.

Great to see you using some old school techniques such as working very tight nuts and bolts backwards and forwards to get them started, plenty of heat and a good squirt of "Dubya". I worked on some pretty old ships and we used the same techniques most days. The younger crew were quite surprised to see me tighten before slacking off and even more astonished when I got the bolt out without shearing off. Old school tale. I was working with some young engineers from a South American country and when overhauling a Lister Petter generator engine, used lead wire to check the bumping clearance (I'm sure you'll know what I'm talking about), removed the head and measured the lead wire with a micrometer. I handed the micrometer to the young lad and asked him to read it, meaning the vernier scale and he replied.........yes, Chief, Moore and Wright, Sheffield, England. True as sure as the sun rises in the east every morning, I swear.

@@CuttingEdgeEngineering I was expecting at least half those exhaust bolts to need the sparkle spanner, but they all actually came off. Keep that water pipe, it likely is a lot better than the OEM one, and for sure is much better put together than the OEM one. BYW, great work on those throw away welds on the nut, each one came out looking perfect, even though both were destined to be in the scrap bin 30 seconds after they were cooled down. As you have the base of the bolt available I would have first tried putting a nut and lock nut on the bottom of the thread, and taking it out that way, less thread to engage, and also the galled section will be easy to move in the same direction. One of the times a plain drill would work to drive it out as well, just drill it, and it will probably have zipped right down after 10 seconds.

The way the leak cut that dimple in the back of what appears to be maybe a water manifold, that it didn't damage the block or the head is amazing. I've never seen a torque wrench like that, cool. I also like to re-torque the head bolts after the first warm up, especially on high compression engines like diesels. And keep your shop made manifold, way better that the factory one. Nice job by the way.

@Hoaxer51 Год назад

I noticed that dimple as well, Curtis did say he had a slow leak in the cooling system so he probably fixed that as well. I would like to have seen him put a straight edge on the block and head just to check it for flatness especially where the head gasket failed. It’ll probably be fine. That was a different torque wrench, when he said it was a beam style I thought of the old beam torque wrench I’ve still got in my toolbox. Definitely recheck the torque on those head bolts and recheck the valves while you’re in there. I’ve never seen an old crane like that, extremely handy piece of equipment.

Hi Curtis, Great video as always. I do think this crane is based on a IH 574 platform and has the IH d-239 engine in it. The water manifold you made Is the old style 4 inlet. The later ones were replaced with the 2 style inlet. The other 2 inlets (left ones)are then covered using two blanking plates. In Europe (the Netherlands) parts for all these IH engines are widely available in new aftermarket parts. Water manifolds are also no problem at all. If you want I can look up the part numbers. I think any CaseIH dealer in Australia can order them for you. Hope this is any help. Regards , Jaco

It's in the company diary . Maybe a service is recorded too? Unless the interval is hours used. Generally.

@alexjohnward Год назад

It's on RU-vid.

@MayaPosch Год назад

If the machine has an hours meter, it's even better to write that on the filters :) Until the hours meter rolls over and nothing makes sense any more, of course...

@FishFind3000 Год назад

Or leave it blank till you want to sell it and write whatever you want on it that makes it look like it was serviced recently if your a scammer.

Wire Brushing Tip: I use a steel wire brush rather than a brass. I use a light touch. When I’m done, I run a strong magnet all over the work surfaces to pick up stray bits of wire from the brush. I have found wire inside a cylinder that way.

Tim from Canada just started watching your channel suggestion for you.. if you can get a hold of a good piece of solid wood, a good square piece the same size as your cardboard box.. and you can drill out the holes and number them just like your cardboard box and this way you’ll always have this diagram, hard piece of wood, and then your cardboard box will not be destroyed and you can keep using it over and over again just a suggestion and you can do this for any size of automotive engine repair. The hard part was trying to find a good piece of sturdy wood to use as a template.

I think the crane deserves a shirt in the merch store. For it's many years of service.

Watching an accomplished machinist use a die grinder to prep surfaces makes me feel like I'm less of a hack. Great video as usual.

A suggestion on improving oil drain access is to install a fumoto valve, these have a small outlet tube and a quick release so you can drain and collect the oil no fuss no muss. I have used these for decades on vehicles, they are 100% reliable and dont leak a drop.

55:41 YESSSS VICTORY LAP! So glad I'm not the only one who does this when I get something running right again!

@donaldneill4419 Год назад

I have to say, as soon as I saw you break the bolt off, the only thing I cared about from that point on was "how's he going to get that thing out?" So glad you showed that part, broken bolts are a giant pain!

Hello, I'm 71 years old and I have never set my eyes on a crane like that. I can see where it would fill a purpose. You did a fine job of letting us know your step-by-step instructions. Bang up job!

Great vid, and some awesome sound editing Karen - actually had me chucking with the exhaust manifold nut removal!

@serenerebel1983 Год назад

You were correct for upward exhaust on farm tractors as they also have a spark arrestor muffler to stop stray carbon sparks from setting fire to stubble/hay. by the time the sparks that do manage to escape fall to the ground they're too cold to be a problem.

@anthonysimonhough9691 Год назад

It’s a pleasure to see a real head gasket replacement video without all the bullshit you get on other videos. Nice one

@Bristoll170 Год назад

A brilliant side track from engineering, and the hour length just zipped by. Fantastic production skills as always Karen, with another seemless CEE episode showing Kurtis's multi talented skills. The Friday night beer (beers in this case) was as enjoyable as ever. Cheers Pete' New Zealand.....the other island according to Americans 🙂

You be amazed how many times iv come across the opersite of this haha, try the old heat and quench on a bolt then it breaks anyway, now it's been heated and quenched then it's a birch to drill out cause you've hardened it haha

@ellieprice363 Год назад

@@fowletm1992 No, it would take much more heat than that to affect the hardness of the bolt. Heating and quenching rapidly is the correct procedure to remove this stubborn bolt.

Hey Kurtis, you have an invaluable amount of experience working with tools. I know it's not your usual style of video, but it would be a huge help to guys like me who are building up their tool collections if you could make a video on some tools or tool brands you've found to be high-quality. The market is flooded with garbage, cheap tools, and it would be awesome to get a hands-on perspective on those worth having!

@minibikegarage1577 Год назад

Tekton gear wrench icon and others are all good medium quality tool brands. I'd recommend tekton personally of your just building your basic tool set collection. There durability is great and the warranty is the best in the business
