Removing the Cab from the Crane! | Franna Crane Project | Part 15

Publicado 2024-04-26
The Franna Crane project continues in part 15, and this time we’re tackling the rusty, hole-filled cab! We’re ditching the old cab in favour of building a brand new and improved one. But before we can remove it, we have a bit of a detour with the boom lift cylinders – let’s just say it gets “interesting”. Disconnecting the cab is no easy feat either, with a web of hydraulic lines, steering lines, electrical wiring, and anything else keeping the cab clinging on. Tune in to see the challenges we face and we reveal exactly why this cab needed to go! Stay tuned for the next Franna crane project video or catch up on all the previous videos below 😎👇

    This is turning into a new Tally Ho, excellent: "Hi, I'm Curtis from CEE and I'm a Machinist and Mechanic. A few years ago I bought a very old Franna crane, and since then I've been rebuilding that crane from the keel up...."
  • I am so heavily invested in seeing this damn crane fixed lol. Please don't think we are getting bored by this content Karen.
  • @OGYettie
    Franna crane project has a better story line then most tv shows.
  • God I love this project. A couple of thousand kilometers away someone is rebuilding an old crusty crane.. and im here for it! And the takeouts im here for them aswell
  • @hoilst265
    Kurtis' ability to judge balance points for strap-lifting is a legitimate superpower.
  • Noone: .... Kurtis: "The easiest and cheapest way is me just building a whole new cab from scratch...." Hats off!
  • The whole thing about this channel is it's not just very educational but there's a lot of comedy sneaked in and all characters are involved 😂, you guys Homey and the birds included are priceless 😊.
  • @DavidLindes
    I don't think I can even imagine taking on a project of this scope and magnitude. Yet you're slogging away at it. Mad respect, Kurtis. And great work documenting it all, as usual, Karen! And scritches to Homeless. :)
  • When you get that crane finished you're just going to be driving it around looking for random shit to pick up & put down for no reason lol
  • 'Can i have the spanner back please', never in history had a man more selfcontrol than in that moment.
  • I am a car guy, own and work on a racecar, a vintage muscle car and a vintage 4x4 truck. I have also maintained my daily drivers, regardless of what they are, There are very few major projects which I will not tackle. However, I would have bailed on this project long ago. Kudos to you for all the effort that you are putting into this. It provides some great entertainment and makes me feel better about some of the projects which I have tackled.
  • Love the extras at the end. Such a relief to hear you do your nana a couple of times so we know you are human after all.
  • @ctechbob
    'This is the only hollow press I have' Comon, you can be honest, you went straight to the "I'm not F-ing around with this, it's coming out or I'm turning it to liquid." 😂😂
  • I wonder if you guys know just HOW POPULAR you are around the world! Your videos and projects and YOU folks have become part of the lives of SO MANY who love watching. Know that you are loved. Keep up the great work. God Bless!
  • That P51D at the end lives with a couple of Spitfire IX's. Love the Franna. "Slight rust in the usual places". "Easy project".
  • @troop73oo
    Kurtis, I admire your confidence in being able to put it all back together again.
  • @KingCovfefe
    This series is simultaneously entertaining and anxiety inducing. I'm going to be much happier once I see it starting to go back together!
  • @ignus9928
    I am absolutely loving this series. Nothing is quite as good as a 50+ episode series of watching something turn from rust to pure gold. If this project never ends, I wouldn't mind at all, haha.
  • @Raisopod
    This is about to be the nicest crane in the country at this rate. I always get excited whenever a new video for the Franna comes out, I like watching disassemblies and such, so it'll be REALLY nice seeing it come together again.
