Hi there! I am hoping someone might be able to help me track down a specific crane manual for my dad. I am trying to surprise him and I don't know a ton about heavy machinery but here is what he told me about the crane: "1961 25 ton Lorain Crane Threw Shovel mounted on a coast crane carrier truck". I THINK he is referring to the Lorain Crane Thew Shovel - perhaps a 25A? If you have any guidance or the appropriate manual for this crane I would appreciate it. Thanks!
