    Just run across your video and remember these old cranes from the 50's. I would ride my bike for miles to just spend a summers day watching these work. I also remember a crane with a hydraulic clam shell bucket that could be driven to a work site. I haven't seen one of those in many years now as I am 80 years old now. Thank you for saving these cranes of my youth.

    Good job Frank, the fuel mixture sounded a bit rich and then you had the afterburner kick in!😂

    Another great video. I’ve never loosened the release clutch for the steering on my 10B so the handle just goes round and round when I swing and I drain water out of the gear housing every year, never got around to addressing that issue. I thought I had a shovel front located for it but all there was was the front, all the components needed for in the machine were missing. I’ll be watching for the next one.👍

    • @73DiamondReo
      @73DiamondReo  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You’re making me wonder if the steering is broken now. If that sprocket should spin when swinging the machine mine doesn’t that I’m aware of so that would mean the bevel gear or shaft is broken correct? I need to pull that cover under the drums anyway so I’ll have to investigate

      @@73DiamondReo Something has to be wrong. Do you have a parts book for it, as you know they can often be helpful with how things should work before disassembly. The man with the Link-Belt gave me a 10B parts book. At any rate, I’ll be watching.
