here are some pictures of our 2 koehrings that are restored and in working condition and 2 north wests a truck crane with a dragline and a northwest 41 shovel that was bought off of ebay from the new york state thruway
I just talked to him last night. He said he was up to his arm pits in snow. LOL !! He is a good friend of mine and really knows his stuff on those old Northwest and other machines too. I wish we lived closer he has a wealth of information in his head. Good guy. Look after him , I think alot of old Willy.
looking good. that shovel appears to be in nice shape. Willy is a hell of a guy. me and my father went to his place in putnam last month looking for a flathead engine. i walked around the corner of the building expecting to get shot ! he stopped what he was doing and showed us all his machines. spent a few hours there. real nice guy. he came by my dads house a few days later to borrow a book he had. he knows more about cranes and shovels than anyone i know.hes like a walking library. brian

I saw your pix and was wondering if you knew anything about the koehring bantam s-155? just picked it up for a song and want to know more about it. Any ideas?
Do you have any pictures if it we have one but it was not used much it had a hammer on it but from what I have heard it had a lot of electrical problems

I know it's far away from you, but for what it's worth, Gerhart Machinery in Pennsylvania rebuilds old Northwests. I would contact them, they may know who the Northwest guy is in your area. Gerhartmachinery.com
Cool! Someone showed me a Skooper attachment that was resting in the woods near that area. I glad that got to you. I'll have to come and check it out next time I'm in Mass.
