I hope that this "smaller" Acco grader finds a good owner, museum or somehwere in use, I hope that it gets not scrapped like the biggest one....
Strange that. IIRC our 1570W dragline ran 5" drag ropes and that was more than a tad smaller than Big Muskie. A quick look at Bridon's catalogue shows standard dragline ropes up to 5-5/8" diameter and anything larger by special order. TBH I would have thought the offshore oil industry would have used wire ropes bigger than 6".
