lol you had me thinking there, but you're right,it looks way better with the undercarriage widened
Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"? ... It's better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak up and remove all doubt The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

Hi. I am posting these pictures for BruceD. He replaced the gantry arms with new brass arms and is able to move the gantry to a transport position. Thanks for the pictures Bruce. Ken

The counterweight is removable. It is attached underneath by 2 screws.

So I just got my hands on one of these gems at a sick price. Only problem is I need to get some more nuts and bolts for the boom. Does anyone know where I can find them? I also need someone to give me the size of the nuts and bolts. How tall is the boom? I have been looking for one of these for a very long time!

This machine wass a read work horse in the P&H line. Together with the truck version, it was the flagship machine so to speak in the mid 60s. Until these disappeared from common use around the DC area, it was as large a machine that one could move with the counterweights in place. Just knock that gantry down and shorten the boom to head an heel. When introduced, the larger 790 truck machine could also be moved with the weights in place as well as 70 feet of boom in both of them.

Amazing! Another one going for over $600!!! One sold Nov 16th for $621 and another on Nov 5 for $350! I've got 2 of this model, but one of them is still covered in a layer of smoke from the fire... I really should have an undercarriage modified for the wider track position!

Really Braindead Stupid that a Reeving Diagram did not come with the model I am going to guess they just figured whoever gets this model will figure it all out without it and now look at what has happened NZG really thought wrong this time =>:-< =>:-< =>:-< =>:-< =>:-< =>:-< =>:-< =>:-< =>:-< =>:-< =>:-< =>:-<

Hang on Bostonian! It's a secondhand purchase from an Ebay seller, but was new in box. I guess they just got lost somewhere over the past fifteen years or however old the model is. I'm hoping someone will be able to at least tell me where the boom line goes and where it gets tied off.
