Well gang, Stretch only had one recovery day. I also picked up a deuce on Thursday, so I was a little extra tired. Dennis's pics show everything that I could have taken and more. It was a good trip, nothing major bad went down and rthe truck kept a pretty good pace. Time for breakfast!

Kenny,
Just curious. How did you get the M108 off the fifth wheel once at home?

Good save, Dennis. Glad to see another useful crane got saved from the torch!

It's ALIVE!
Plumbed up a gas can to the fuel pump, and fired it up! Crane runs in all directions. Engine has a miss to it, but runs decent. Have a bad hose, leaks when lowering the boom. If I shut off the crane and then lower, it doesn't leak.
Got some pics of the block and ball that came with it. Is this the right block? I have a second one in the garage.
Gimpy! It's nice out today!

Sweet! Have you re-wound the boom cable yet? Lift anything with weight on it?

Dennis, that is a correct deuce snatch block but it's not the block for the hoist to use a 2 part line. I'll post a pic of the correct block when I get home. Congrats on getting it running. Very useful tool they are. Steve, I used ramps from the back tires to the ground and backed it off. 2nd time I've done it. First time it was on blocks. I've got pics, I'll post them when I get home.
edit; here are some pics of one unload Steve

Dennis, here is the exact hoist block that came on the M60 and M108 cranes thanks to Rizzo for the excellent pic.
