What model and how old is the bare crawler in the 1st pic.?

 

[JaredV]

Guessing it's a BE 22B. How big of a job was it to revive?

Cat D318 powered,Says something about those old engines. Like to see today’s engines last 30-50 years or more, one thing I won’t be around by then lol

It was three partial Saturdays to get it lowboy ready. About 4 hours with two guys with chainsaws to cut it out of the trees. Converted it to direct electric start and fired it up with no ether

1959 BE 22b

We have 4 p&h truck cranes at work that get used regularly. Currently have a 90 ton and 35 ton on a boat marina job and a 2017 kobelco crawler on a barge

Backfilling with a clamshell. 130’ radius with a 2 yard bucket is about all the 790 wants

 

[Tugger2]

It does look like a workout for the P&H .Whats the purpose of the backfill? Remediation or a clean bottom for pile driving?

 

[HATCHEQUIP]

Ryan with it uncovered were the frictions and brakes swelled?

Yeah everything had to be backed off and after running it 20 hours every still has terrible grip. I bought 50’ of new lining and eventually will reline the whole machine. I already relined the boom brake, clutch and booster

Hope it didnt rust the bands to bad Under the lining
