I am a retired crane operator. I ran a 597 plus other small draglines for 38 years. I also did a lot of hook work in various machines. I started learning friction machines, then when the juice squeezers came into play it took all the fun out of it for me. To operate a friction machine takes lot of skill and tallent. You have good skills my friend. Hearing that slobering 4-71 fire up is a very familiar sound to me. If you are not using ear protection I suggest you do. I ran many machines with a Detroit in them. my ears have been ringing for decades.

I wouldn't mind having a go at it
Well I'm someone who has spent many years on old equipment and I hate old equipment
As an operator myself your pretty smooth with that dragline
Thanks!
You make it look easy !!
Until you sit in a friction crane, you have no idea how difficult it is to have control
They are like riding a bicycle.
Once you get the hang of it you never forget.
Very impressive operator.
Wot a din give me a pristman with a dorman in the back 🤠😉🔧 JB

Son, that's not old. She's got air-over!
The swing (L/R) takes alot of touch.
Cool old eq
That music is waaay more obnoxious than the sweet sound of that engine.
@@TL64329 the ringing in my ears disagree lol
