Nice! Bet the kids had a heck of a time with your truck. That is something they will remember forever too.
Toys with lifting capability... That is hard to beat - and a lot easier than huffing and puffing and grunting to move stuff.

HAHA I couldn't get them off it for almost 5 hours haha only did a 65ft length of cable but they loved it. just high enough to not drag feet on way down but not so much that they would get hurt.

I feel for you. I am doing a rotex gear/bearing assembly change out in a broderson IC-80 yard runner...almost as bad as Tax Pain..My flintstone international yard crane slews with wire ropes, a D shaped pulley and a hydraulic tie rod cylinder. It also has some slop. Absolutely terrifying if your brain chokes on which direction the play is hiding. If your gear has already been flipped you may be able to have it welded up and remachined. Dont cut any corners or let fools at it though. Lives will depend on the quallity of the repair. Good luck and keep us posted.
