Nylint michigan crane conversion, hopefully

Jeepy84 over on SBG found these reference pics. Hopefully a mod can approve him to join over here...







Since the lid to counterweight/engine area has to come off for access, I couldn't come up with a good way to do the really cool house-side boom lifting structure. I'd thought about spanning the house side boom hoist sheeves out on a framework coming off the elevated bracket, but didn't think it would look cool enough
Their boom extension piece makes me wonder if the Doepke crane long/short extensions might fit? Also the pulley lifting block hooks

I really like that boom tip line control yoke, mine might need that extra plate with lightning holes.


A crane Jib-boom could be pretty useful to have too.

Mine hasn't made any changes since installing the bumper scotchlite
Still need to order front bumper pintle pin.
Build a house stand so i can work on the carrier...

But it's ok since there are never any meets, so the toys really don't matter, and i should probably just try to find adifferent hobby
