Here is the Galion Model 125 crane, all done, after 5 months of work. Finished up the boom piping, and put it all together.................and now on to the NEXT build! Everything works, all 12 hydraulic cylinders, outriggers, regular and crab four wheel steering, boom raise, crowd and swing, winch, doors and latches......everything I could think of. (One thing I am NOT, a photographer.......!) Thanks to all who followed me and gave me advice and encouragement!

The older, the better.........

The wire guard wrap on the hydraulic line is a never seen detail! Love it! Paul

Thanks Marc.....Yes, I will be posting the paver as well. Not too far on it yet, mostly just trying to figure out all the pieces and parts. I never worked on the paver crew, but only worked on them when they were refurbished, repaired, and repainted in my shop in the winter. So, I am figuring out the mechanisms as I go. Hope you had a Merry Christmas, and hope the typhoon misses you!

Cheers, Tom

Tom,
Yes Christmas here was good. Spent the day wife my wife, Family arrives here this afternoon . Hope you had a good Holiday
ay as well. As for the Typhoon , no worries . It totally missed us here. One of the reasons I chose the Central Visayas. We generally don't get the direct hits.

Having worked ona paving crew. I like your new project. I knew a guy down in Florida years ago that had started one. He was doing a good job on it. But lost touch with him .Don't know if he ever finished it or not.

Be Well Gator

Well, I haven't checked in here in a while. But what a treat for the eyes!!! You know my hang up with cranes, right? I love the underside details, those twin steer axles and such. And the 4-71. Great job. And in 5 months! Amazing! Dan
