Video of her in action. Love the old school Cranes. Much more appealing than the newer ones in my humble opinion.

Totally agree with you I love the older equipment. Got to like the wide track on this machine !


Yes I own a lot of Norscot Cat models they remind me of my many good years working for a Cat Dealer. Going out to the back forty after work playing with used equipment just moving dirt around

I am also a lover of the old cable machines. I am fortunate to own both of the Classic Lima 2400B models. I worked on Interstate highway construction in the 1960's and many companies used the Lima 34's. I never realized how larger the Lima 2400 is in comparisons to a Northwest 95 and the Bucyrus Erie 88B.

Nice to see one of these big machines in action. If anyone has any info on the cab mounting and how it extends and retracts into the house, I would be glad to hear from you. Dan

'Never thaught Clark built a machine that big.....!!
Very interresting machine.
I personally got no interest in newer equipment anymore, i'd rather the older stuff.I totally agree with you, HD41 when you say it is more appealing.
Thanks for sharing.

I am looking for industrial auction brochures from Ritchie Bros, Miller & Miller, Forke Bros, First Team Auction, Max Rouse, etc from the 70's, 80's and 90's.I am a collector and heavy equipment enthusiast and these pamphlets are loaded with nice pictures of cleaned and freshly painted equipment.Thet don't have much value once the sale is over but they are a great help to me in preserving the memory of machines that are no longer being built.Please, help my hobby by looking in your old storage boxes and file folders for these old auction sale brochures.Your help is much appreciated.
