Ken, that first link you gave me to try, had a power steering trouble shooting section in it. I am printing up the 350 page manual now. :)
Dave, I am getting some basics working first, then I will play with the crane section. More pics will follow.

O.K. gang, the starter rebuild went well. I got it to turn over a couple times before the batterys only gave me a clicking noise. Jeff, you were right about the front drive shaft needing to come loose to get it out. I also took some time to take off the caps on the Oxy/Act tanks. When I cracked the valves, gas came out. I didn't have time to put on regulators to see how much pressure there was, but they sounded healthy. Hope to have her fired up tomorrow.

If the tanks are original, you might be able to sell them if you wanted to. Original wrecker torch tanks aren't that popular.

If the tanks are rare as hens teeth I might. I like the look of them up there and have been waiting to get some(tanks in general). I have had torch heads, hoses, and regulators for some time now, but never pulled the trigger on tanks and gas. I will probably just use these till they are empty and then see how much recertification is.
