I bought a photo from ATHS of a Lapadula & Villani DC203 with planetary rears hooking up to a Castalodo rig on a big Rogers beam. I think they still prints on Ebay.

Last I knew, Frank Conforti had the Castaldo Autocar heavy tractor used to move these machines which he acquired from Tony Mack along with a DM800 tractor.
The Autocar you are referring to was originally owned by Slattery, and last used by Mack Trailer. I don't recall any mention of it ever have being owned by Castaldo, and I also don't think they moved their own cranes. Frank still has it, tucked away in the shop. -John

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Autocar-Print-Made-Original-Negative-Circa-1950s-/350485593605ATHS could improve their auction descriptions a bit, but lots of great photos there for a lot less than other people sell them for. Also, I'm not sure "1950's" is accurate.

I'll stand corrected on the Autocar. It was used to move Castaldo's cranes.
These 9280s are a rare American model. Does anyone know if anyone other than Castaldo ordered them new or if they were are New York area dealer requested configuration to address the long boom crawler market that existed there?
