Oil Field Engine NewsBailing Rigs in the Oil FieldBy Russell FarmerThe subject this month is bailing rigs. The bailing rig, as I understand it, was used to pull a long, skinny tube (or a sort of bucket) that fit in an oil well in order to remove (bail out) water. The winch apparatus, which was mounted on a common set of trucks with the engine, was used to lift this "bailer" up the tower and out of the well. I'd like to hear from anybody out there who may have used one of these rigs, as your first-hand experiences would be interesting to me as well as our readers. I had an opportunity a couple of years ago to photograph a 2-cycle Spang bailing rig (see photo) owned by Harry Horner of Pennsboro, W.V. Dixie Davis, 3389 Hwy. 72, Clinton, SC 29325; (864) 833-4964; mjcdavis@earthlink.net, writes in need of a flywheel for his 10 HP Bessemer. The dimensions are 52-... 794 of 1425 characters shown.
