I'm looking for any information on my 1954 bantam. It has a 25 foot fixed length boom. I don't think it was ever used for digging because it didn't have a fairlead or tagline. It's mounted on a 1952 reo stuibaker m44. I have manuals for the upper and lower.
Few more pictures of it. I made the fairlead for running a dragline
I love it ! Did you get the shovel attachment with it ? Nice work on the fairlead , that's going to be a handy rig for sure !
Td25c, no it did not come with any attachments.
What a cool machine. I for sure would have room for it at my place. Thanks for the pictures.
Oh that thing looks as handy as your right hand. I'd grabs something like that in a heart beat. Old friction rigs (especially the small ones) seem to be pretty rare down here.
Yeah it's pretty handy and it was given to me and my can't beat free. Both engines were sized when I got it but I got the upper freed up and running within a few hours and the lower took a couple weeks.
