Post your pictures as it takes a real operator to clam with a friction crane no matter what the size.

You arent kidding about that. You also will need a new set of titanium knees after 20 years in the seat of one of those rigs. I spent a week on a linkbelt Ls78 at the training center last fall. Talk about an eye opening experience. Just imagine how much pipe was put in with those old clam, drag, and pull shovel rigs
