    American Dragline Identification Help!

    American 375 BC We have a 1957 American 375 BC and it runs but hasn't been operated in some time- I cannot find an operators manual online nor can the original operator who is 93 remember the controls. Can anyone give me a set of instructions on the controls and use of them? Thanks!
