So do I. One of my favorite models. One of my favorite cranes in general. What a great find! Looks like a good "project". I can't remember the number of weights off the top of my head. But you might be able to hand make some. Glad she found a good home.

Yes, Happy I got it and she definitely needs some TLC. I was just doing some googling and coming up empty on parts so any help with parts would be appreciated! Mainly need boom sections with pendants and ballast plates. I could scratch build the weights if need be.
And it did come with the box, book, never installed ladders , extra track links and roll of caution tape..haha

I think the executive version was meant to have 12 removable counter weights just the same as the full sized versions. But great find though!

What do you mean you 'just found it'?!!!!! I look in the verges and in the ditches around here, and the best I've found is a lego figure and an old hard-hat.

I found an advertisement that says the exec version only comes with 4 plates so thats good atleast. I will need more though as I want to make the boom longer.
As far as finding it... I got lucky I guess. ..hahaha

I found boom extensions and counter weights show up on Ebay from time to time. Just make sure the pendant lines come with it.

Those broken parts, had a wire that run to each connection. It is suppose to be the self assembly cables, they attach them to the boom but or lift tracks

Looks good. Nice cleaning job! I agree with the boom tip. I can see the windmill tip on the full version, but kinda weird on the shorty. I've never seen a windmill that short. I realize it's just for executive show..but still. Anyway..looks nice. Keep the updates comin.

Another thing you could do to the drum to "lock" it is use rubber washers, cut one side so you can slide it over the axle. Should work great, that is how ycc does it on the lg1550. Well a rubber o ring

How did you reeve the live mast? I have the full version and I found that mine had two separate lines run from each drum. Unless they spooled up exactly the same....one side would go slack. On the real one, like all equalizers run from a twin drum, its the same line that goes from one drum, through the sheaves, onto the other drum. I was able to reeve mine to do that but I think I had to skip a sheave at one point. The knot isn't very noticeable and, because its in the center, it stays in the same spot and only moves when one drum gets ahead of the other if the thread stacks up more. But at least I can run the live mast all the way up and down without one side going slack! Nice find....and nice job cleaning it up! EDIT: If you replace the cable, you won't have a knot in the middle. I didn't have any appropriate string on hand and I was impatient.

The musky master line is a braided fishline. It is used in two different weights, 18 pound test line is generally used on cranes smaller than 200-300 ton cranes. The other is the 27 pound test line that is used on cranes over the 200-300 ton size. The Manitowoc 16000 would use the 27 pound test line.
Hope this helps and that is one awesome find!!!!!!

I pulled the line off the luffing drum on my LTM11200 and used that. I ran single line drum to drum, the way it should be. It works flawless.

Some of the boom sections had lose ends where the eyes are,had to glue them on my 16000. Actually 1 of 4 (were the eyes are)were tight so I had to pull slightly and get glue in the tube of the boom. My 2cts. Yeah haven't found much in the barn just snake skins and straw.
