I stand corrected. I live on the border of district 5 and district 8 in Geneseo, Il. So not far for me. The guys that work in Ladd, IL for Cattani are down here more than they are in 5, and they drive it all the time.

I was suppose to come up there with our 150 ton and tail for them, but we got busy at the local nuke plant. So they brought out the 200 ton Liebherr from our Ladd shop to cover for us. I talked with the oiler and he said that this rig is brand new, and this is the third job it has ever been on. This is the first time it has had the luffer and heavy lift attachment on the rig. New pics fully dressed shortly!!!!!

NICE PICS MAN! sure does look good with the MegaWing attachement on it, and the luffer looks cool on the real model as well. anybody know why Grove does that weird notch in their luffer like that? those are some great close ups as well. good work Sean!

Sweet set of pics man!
Just a question...
Why is there a slight kink in the heavy lift boom? (Luffer?)
