Small unit today. Tight setup spot again. Sucks setting the crane up load cw's and then back into place. We were to close to the building for the cw's to clear so we had to go up and over with the unit. 17k at 75' or so.

Crossovers tubes on a cummin 855. Screw is broke off in the head. Guy just wanted the 0'rings changed but I couldn't get the other three screws loose either. Apparently someone before me tried to fix ignore and decided that one broken screw wasn't that big of a deal. de
Another one of those how do you even break that deals. Got a welding shop lined up for that repair.

On the manlift axle leveler- I bet they slid it off a trailer loading or unloading, or else pulling/ slamming on it when stuck.

I have a hard time believing that, why would they bother with double nutting it lie that if they were not having a problem with it loosening up?

Guess who came back from rental. Old girls been out since October or so. The slave cylinder on the clutch went bad but other then that we didn't have to make any repairs.( I guess we did have to fix the heater.) Think it was a bad wire or something. This house was bigger then it looks. Took the jib and dead stick. Was there about 6 hrs. The little building was at a Wendy's. Just moved it to another spot. The next day we drove it down to Louisville for another month rental job.
