<p>Herb:</p>
<p>It was a 35 ton rough terrain crane. I have rebuilt one of the
steering cylinders and need to rebuild the other. I bought a
parts manual and a service manual for it off of Ebay. Then found
that on cranes, parts manuals need to be purchased from the
manufacturer. Not only are they about 1/2 what the sellers on
ebay are asking, but they are specific to the machine. Cranes
are ordered by selection of axles, engines, drums, etc.. I hope
to get it going after the first of the year. I would like to get
my 2 storage containers moved up closer to the house and put a
roof between them..</p>
<p>This is my busiest time now as my clients all wait until the end
of the year to have me do their inspections. I also need to get
my Caterpillar Trackhoe put back together after the fire it had.
It never seems to end. I spent the last 3 days working on my
Arctic Cat atv only to find it has to go to the Arctic Cat
stealership to be connected to a proprietary computer to diagnose
the problem. I think the Electronic control unit is bad, That is
a $500 part. Ethanol gas and the emission crap is what is driving
the push for electronic fuel injection. I have 2 EFI 4 wheelers.
I bought them both brand new. One only has 12 hours on it. It
only has lights on the dash. It has to be connected to the
computer to diagnose why the warning light is on. I just replaced
the fuel pump that had liquified due to the ethanol gas. It seems
to be flooding. I really think I will get rid of all the EFI
engines around here and stick with the old carbureted units. <br>

They say that aggravation in life prevents Alzheimers disease. I
should be good for another 2 lifetimes!!!!</p>

several months ago you acquired a large toy (for lifting or
dirt moving, I do not remember which). Have you found
opportunity to play with it? Herb(GA)</span></span> <br>
