Did a lot of this growing up. Used to tie a string on the cable to see how far we were drilling down. Dressing tools was a lot of fun as well

Gary looks like your formations are not too bad. Post more videos . Love these old rigs!

I was raised on the Derrick floor of my grandfather’s Standard Rig and National Machine. I was too young to let me drill with the Standard Rig but I did get to drill with the National. Iloved that National when you had the right motion that 200’ cracker on top of the tools would hit twice every stroke. Very few are left to know the feel of the temper screw. Those were the best days of my life.

I worked on a similar one many years ago, around 1959. Owner was Homer Elliott in Rome NY area. Was one of the best jobs I have had.

Man I love to see cable rig still kicking ass, no other rig will ever drill a cleaner well or fish out faster!

Thanks for a nice drilling work...

I found one of these rigs in the mountains in the Philippine, but never knew what it is until now. It's been abandoned for many years..

Looks like =you have some pretty good drilling Gary !

Thank you for sharing that

nice one . i wish one day to have that machine thanks for the video

Ando perforando en el estado de Querétaro. México

Very very good

Do you allow the governor on the engine to activate while you are drilling? I’ve heard that the best motion is achieved when the engine is allowed the free wheel as the tools go down.

Are you still using the old 33??? They were an amazing rig ! There cannot be many left?

This has got to be the strongest feller on the planet, pulling up and down that drill steel with just one hand.😉

Good living mate, i'm kinda jealous.

E não e fácil eu tenho anos nessa área conheço bem

Does this take SPT and undisturbed samples? what maximum depth can it reach?

Looking for water in my ranch i found im prity good at finding water i even got the depth of each stream by one meter. Im looking to by a machine need ability drill. Min300m by 12 inch. Any advice.

How deep is max for this rig? in feet rating

شيأ حلو 🤗🙄

Too much slack.

Richard, the engine is only working to pick up the drill stem. After the spudding arm starts to drop the drill gravity takes over and the engine is coasting. You want an engine speed that lets that happen.
