Unit with environmentally friendly detroit diesel.

Started up the old unit the other day. It smokes but it cleans up and screams like a good Detroit should.

    That's a neat old crane. Love the Detroits. Were you moving it to mow under it?

    Awesome!! How long since she'd been started? Anything besides a hit of ether to get'r running?

    Methinks the draw works and the track drive may not be as responsive? Lovely bit that, not even boom snubbers on her....

    Ah, good ol' Detroit in a world of tier 5 emission control.

    Start it every year and the tracks move just fine as well as the draw works.

    Sweet! That's amazing, they sure built them right back then...
