Part of a post from another forum with Schield Bantam information...

Schield Bantams were built from 1942 up until 1964, when Koehring purchased 
Schield Bantam. In the following link (below) there's some info on the 
Schields and the Bantam. If you scroll to the bottom of the website link, 
you will see "Fred and Emma Schield Family History" on the LHS.

Clicking on that "Family" link brings up another page with the family 
history broken up into three sections. In the center section, you will see 
"Schield Bantam Company". There are two links under this heading - Part A 
and Part B. Clicking on "Part A" and "Part B" brings up two PDF files with 
some company history and a few photos.

Schield Bantam .. http://www.schieldbantam.org/

The Schield Bantam M-49 model was truck mounted. It could be set up in four 
configurations - crane/dragline/face shovel/hoe. As a crane, the M-49 had a 
capacity of 9.5 tons. As a dragline, it was 3/8 yards in drag bucket size, 
or 1/2 yard in clam bucket size. It had a 40 foot boom. The M-49 was a 
military surplus model - the civilian model was T-35.
The construction model, mounted on tracked undercarriage was C-35, and this 
had a 5/8 yd capacity.
The M-49 was powered by a Continental F-227. Engines used by Schield Bantam 
were GM, Buda, Cummins, Chrysler Industrial 6, and Continental.
