almost done

I've almost got my crane completed. All that's left is painting, and some updates. 1990 BMY 925.

Looking good. That's a pretty big crane. What's your plan for it once it's finished?

 

[Rmtaunton]

Awesome

Sweet. Could you please update with pics or videos of it in use when done?
thanks

Thanks men. I plan on taking it to Texas to work in the oil fields, or on ranches, where others fear to tread. I have 66 ft. on main boom, and 27 ft. on jib, for a total of 93' hook height. Having a second shoulder surgery next week, so I will be out of commission till I take my cdl test in it. I already have the dmv people trying to figure out how I can pull a trailer with it, as it has no protection valve or trolly brake!

Not sure what the DMV can do, but if you find a 931 tractor, you can pull the whammy bar(trolly brake) out and install it in your truck. I bet it would have a pressure protection valve too.

I would not worry about the DMV

I would worry about the DOT

A tractor protection valve is required.

Wow that off a logging truck or a lumber truck? I've seen knucklebooms for 1500 for a small one, wonder how much that ran you ha.

I have all of the TPS parts coming. I believe that it's better to do it right, and not need it; then to need it , and not have it! I bought the crane, as a whole operating truck back in 07 when the market was busy, and there weren't many for sale; now there are many for sale, and no work!
