It amazing that these retired beasts can still do that kind of work and not even break a sweat.....usually it takes something5x the cost of the Deuce to get that done.
Awesome!

More pictures of lifting hoop would be interesting to see. Nice idea for those without loaders. I have seen locally a loader made like the bomb crane with a trolley beam longer than the bed being used. Mark

On a personal note, this demonstration seems reflective of the people who frequent this sight. Workers!

I'd like to know how it works and to hear about it's utility and short comings.

Where the boom is it works great for loading the trailer! Butfor loading the truck it is not so good. Iwill be moving the boom back this Winter, and will let everyone knows how it works out!

I have a 353 that I am putting a dump bed on and maybe a crane too. I like to see what others have done.

I will try again! The aintches are mounted on 2" hitch square tube. which is in 2" receiner tube so you can pull a pin and the winches come out.

Ok, pic works on that one. Looks like a nice set-up.
Now I have to ask, did you modify the "A" frame of the lunette? Every 353 trailer I have seen has a section that rises about a foot or two, then goes forward to the hitch.

Yes that looks like a BEFORE PHOTO! We cut off the front wheels, and dropped the goose neck.
