    After seeing the M1070, I cannot wait to see the trailer with it! AWESOME!

    My absolutely favorite Mack.......................the R700. Very nice frame...........I've got to try a scratch built frame some day. This is shaping up to be a great build. Keep the updates coming, and Merry Christmas!

    We had one of these where I used to work that was in the bone yard. We also had a couple of the Blaw Knox versions that got retired while I was there in favor of a brand new Cat model on rubber. Since I was able to find a good batch of manuals for it, figured I'd give it a go! If it turns out half as well as the crane did, I will be very pleased!

    Yes sir, from the scrap box.

    Figured out what the next project will be. It is going to be a Barber-Geeene paver. Started gathering parts tonite. Of course, I started with the manuals!

    That is a FANTASTIC looking Brockway! Love the paint for sure. And the wrecker body looks WAY better on that truck than it did sitting on my shelf! AWESOME!!!

    Thanks Charlie! For everything, especially the advice on the windows and gaskets. That was the one part of the build that caused me the most trepidation. I simply couldn't figure it out, but your method, modified a bit to avoid cutting out the gasket while glued to the cab because the cab is SO fragile, worked PERFECTLY! And, you're right about getting it done. The punch list helps me finish, but it was a hard climb through the last parts of the build, as it seemed it would never get done, and then POOF.....done. Now it's kind of.....what do I do now??!! And now that Gradall has been planted in my head with everything else cluttered up there. Just gotta figure which one to pull out first! Time will tell!

    Had an off day for the crane crew.....so they brought it back to the shop to fix the winch. Had to remove the counterweight to access the winch. The end of the shaft had a hole in it where I pushed a larger shaft into it to turn the winch by friction. Bad idea. So, I glued a screw into the end of the shaft to turn with a screwdriver so now the crowd function works as designed....... could not crowd out if the winch would not turn. All is well!

    Loaded up and on the way to the next project!

    Well, to be honest, I never intended to make everything work. It just kind of developed along the way, as I said why not? It really was a challenge to myself to see what I could do, and I am probably happier with the results than any of my other builds. Now on to the next............!

    Here is my Galion 12 1/2 ton rough terrain crane. Took just about five months to do, which for me is a world record. Everything works as the real one, outriggers, doors, steering both regular and crab, boom up and crowd and swing. Had one casualty right at the very end when the winch spool simply decided to seize up so that will be a trip to the repair shop in the near future. This has been by far, the most challenging mind wracking build I have ever attempted, and I want to thank all who helped me overcome obstacles along the way! I hope you all enjoyed the build. Please forgive the photography skills, or lack thereof. One thing I am not is a photographer/lighting pro!
