1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline

[9W Monighan]

We got the 9W out of my trailer to get it ready for Cabin Fever Expo and I was surprised how bad it looked from the past few outings. Seems it rained every time I took it out or the humidity was so bad everything got rusty. I kept spraying the steel parts with WD40 over the years but obviously not on ALL areas.
I made the decision to dismantle the machine completely and do some much needed sandblasting and painting. I am also going to get the clutch working that shifts the drag mode to walking mode. Hopefully I can get the wiring done at the control console to make the shift.

Wow, ya that really picked up some rust huh?!

Couple more years and we will have to blow it up at Brownsville and scrap it!
