[AT] Drag line engine ID wanted- update

[Ron Cook]

I thought that looked like a Bantam.  Most were put on  CCKW 6X6 trucks 
with half the cab cut down for a place for the boom to sit while being 
roaded.  Someone will know what engine they used in the draglines, but 
it isn't me.

At one time, I had a complete set of aperture cards that contained every drawing for their 20-ton drag line.  Unfortunately, I got tired of "carrying it around" so I could use it as a demo for my students of what such body of documents looked like -- around 3500 computer cards.  I finally pitched it in the trash.
