Koehrings had the cab on the right. I think most of the old manufacturers put them on the right.

Love the old Koehrings, wish there were more models of them made. In later years, some Koehring's had the cabs on the left. Is that a 1066, or an 866 in the first few pics?

 

[cummins05]

Never seen one before. Did they get bought out are go under ?

I think there stil around,Koehring,Insley,Bucyrus,american were crane companys .Crane companys made the first excavaters.If you look at older cranes,on many of them you sat on the right side

That is a 1066 we had an 866 but it didn't stay around long it went over the the concrete company and just screens loam

Love the first pic, what is it a 466 with the back hood open so it would not overheat. Boy that brings back memories. Ours leaked so much hydraulic fluid, we had a 55 gallon drum on the top of the engine grating with a hose we pumped into the tank evey shift start and during lunch too! The darn Koehring would not die though. They fixed all the problems with it, back in the mid 80's and I here it still runs today!

No thats a 505 we still have 3 but don't use them
