I hooked up with Garrin18 and his company bought my crane. It took most of the fall to get the crane and carrier running, not because there was much wrong (batteries and points), but it was a really wet rainy fall. Plus, after the 2 surgeries, I was dependent on others helping. (I had a 3rd surgery on my spine Dec 1st.)
Got a lot of titanium screws, pins and plates in me
. No injuries, just the old spine had bone spurs and some deteriorated disks.
I was not able to bleed the hydraulic clutch so John (Deere) had to help it on the trailer. Never had trouble with the clutch bleeding off before but it is 50 years old
.
Here are some photos of the loading and then leaving the Marsman Construction Co yard in GR for Poured Brick Walls in Brighton. They run a fleet of the small truck cranes to set wall forms. Interestingly, there's another company in Novi that does the same work with a fleet of these small cranes.
