We have an old 25-B Bacyrus Erie dragline that more or less works but needs a little help. The swing brake is not working and the drum brakes (for cables) seem to stick as well as the crane will crawl forward and back but turning is a no go. I would like to know how involved it would be to find the parts responsible and diagnose the issues. I imagine the biggest thing is that they need a cleaning and some grease where applicable. The engine is just fine and other than needing some guards so it can pass MSHA inspection there isn't much other than the above mentioned items. So yeah, how hard is it to check the brakes and clean the parts?
