MY DECEASED FATHER USED TO RUN REPAIR OWN AND MANAGE MACHINES LIKE THIS BUT MUCH LARGER. 165 TONS UP TO SKY-HORSE WITH THE BLEND OF MANITOWOC.THESE MACHINES HAS PUT OUT THE VERY BEST OPERATORS. THEY HARDLY HAVE MEN TO RUN THESE CRANES ......IF YOU TAKE AN OPERATOR RUNNING A DEMAG OR ANY JOY-STICK MACHINE .......CHANCES ARE ........ HE PROBABLY CAN'T MAKE AN 8 HOUR DAY WORK.... SIMPLY BECAUSE HE DOES "" NOT "" KNOW HOW TO HANDLE ""FREE-FALL / AIR CONTROL CRANES""...... BECAUSE THE WHOLE DAMN WORLD HAS GONE STRICTLY HYDRAULIC. ALL THE CRANES TODAY ARE LIKE A DAMN WINCH......... BACK THEN THERE WAS A HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TELESCOPIC AND LATTICE BOOM......TODAY THEY ARE ALL ONE BIG WINCH...
thank you for taking a video of our crane. it's a 1972 Amercian 100t. the engine is a Detroit Deisel 671
Hey id love to do it again, especially driving!
We just bought that crane! Still running strong!
Oh yeah, you still running it? I bet it's a good lifter, you can walk those ol girls with the stick in it, something to see
LoL, I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets excited about Detroit Diesels!
Learned on these in 80s friction crane s were being phased out in 90s . Setting steel in winds was fun...no house brake.

Detroits make any machine awesome. 👍
You can hear a Detroit singing blocks away.
is it a 6V71 or 6L71 powered Detroit diesel engine in that crane
Its sounds like a 6v53
How much counterweight?
