They supplied the rigging. They had a basket looking deal. Looked like about 4-1" cables that all fed into a big steel bracket.

It is nice when they're high on the weight. The only part that stunk was the 12- part line. It was super slow. One drawback on that 110t is the fact that it only has one winch. Doesn't even have the plumbing for two winches.

Is that locomotive lift at Honda's yard? Looks familiar.

Knepptune · Mar 4, 2017

Yes it was.

You from this area?

Brad SEIN · Mar 4, 2017

Yes. Shop is near Millhousen, south of Greensburg. I have seen your cranes all around the area.

Knepptune · Mar 4, 2017

Well if you ever need anything lifted you know who to call.

Had to reseal the tele cylinder on this 65s. Or so we thought. And yes the 110 makes a super yard crane. Mainly because it's rare to have anything else at the shop. But I guess that's good.

Close up of my firehose strap protector.

Seals weren't all that bad. Tube carrying the oil to the retract side broke off of the cylinder.

Tube rewelded ready to go back in. Great little yard telehandler. To rough to go out on any job but it is a handy little fellow.

I think I have some kind of a issue like that with my one 25 ton. We've resealed that thing, and I've still got a bypass going on, its not fast or anything, just a little bump. I've seen it in one other 25 telescope cylinder, and now your pictures. I'm thinking I might have a small crack in mine, letting fluid seep.

Looks like that one was pretty fast retract/ no telescoping.

crane operator · Mar 11, 2017

I think I've got a problem like that with one of my 25's. I've seen one other 25 do that, but it was just a hairline crack, and would act like it needed a reseal. We resealed mine, but it still has a little bump in it, not fast. I've never seen one totally broken loose.

Just wouldn't extend? or would and then come back/retract itself?

Knepptune · Mar 11, 2017

That one was kinda weird. It would barely extend, but it would extend if you tried to retract and revved the engine. It would only retract if you boomed strait up and tried to boom out.

I've used old firehose as a protector for years when re-setting tombstones.

Yeah Bumpsteer , imagine it worked great for that task .
We currently use short pieces of old tire flap's to guard straps . The young guy's will next wonder " what the heck is a tire flap " ? LOL

Even have some poly corner guard's we use once in awhile .

I like the fire hose idea .

Haven't done much in a crane lately. Set a few trusses.

Telehandler in for transmission work. Has good pressure on the charge pump and all the electric is good. So out it'll have to come.

Knepptune · Mar 22, 2017

On to the bad news. 110 decided to pump a bunch of coolant and compression into the crankcase. Luckily it was just 10 miles from the shop. Had about a half gallon of coolant in the bottom of the oil pan.

The oil on the block is not from where we pulled the heads. Had to be coming between the head and the block. The head gaskets all looked good. Getting the heads checked out.

I do like the individual head design on the engine. Kinda neat having eight separate heads but it's a lot easier to pull the heads.

Knepptune · Mar 22, 2017

Don't know why these didnt show up on the last post.

Knepptune · Mar 22, 2017

Apparently I'm having trouble posting pics.

crane operator · Mar 22, 2017

Pictures showed up for me, doesn't look like fun though. Nothing ever breaks, except when your using it. I think I've got a miss, and have been losing a little coolant, in one of my used 8.3's we put in last year. I'm thinking head gasket on it.

Knepptune · Mar 23, 2017

Turns out it's losing coolant past the liner seal. So ye if we have to do one liner seal we may as well do them all. Don't really want to go through this again next year.

Knepptune,

I might have missed it but what engine is that you have the heads off? All those separate heads remind me of the KT1150/19 Cummins design but yours is for sure not a Cummins.

Knepptune · Mar 23, 2017

It's a v8 Mercedes diesel. Om 442 La. It's definitely a different animal. Overall it's a really simple design, You can just tell it wasn't designed by Americans. Lol

And the parts are a little harder to find then a Cummins. We do have a rebuild kit located and ordered. That really was one of our biggest concerns when she went down.

Finally learned how to post pics.
