This showed up on another Forum this morning. Not the best picture in the world, but it's a nifty variation of Gordon's Power Shovel:  |

Further proof that people in "the real world" don't know how to make plausible kitbashes!  What the ---? How the ---? Who the --- thought of that? Far out! Dallas |

well,
necessity may be the mother of invention but the working man is the father of "make do". You will find this especially true in the old time logging world especially with the Gyppo loggers. Use a machine until it is completely worn out then convert it to some other use and keep using it. Somewhere I have seen a very similar picture of a crane boom and an old truck.

Not that great; real engine blocks are made of metal, not wood. -- ssuR (heading for the corner)

Yea, there you go.
I never could figure out the purpose of that horizontal drive shaft across the A-frame above the guys head. There looks to be a cable/line attached to it like it was being used for a winding drum but in that case it seems like it would tweek the U-joint causing a bind, also just can't make out in the picture how it would be driven.
Any ideas?
Thanks for the picture.
Rick
OOOPPPS,
I'm embarassed, I signed on to this thread to compliment Gordon on his beautiful build, but when I saw the truck picture I completely spaced it. Sorry Gordon.
Gordon, spectacular work, I can really appreciate the time and effort involved in the design and fitment of the A-frame turret area.
