What kind of engine do you have in it?

@floodedcar123

It's a caterpillar d318 diesel. The same one used in some D6's and 12g graders.

Back in the early 1980s I worked for a scrap yard that had a LS-90 set up with a magnet, it was a good machine to operate. Scrap yards gone now never did find out what happened to the crane. I know it was sold so hope its still out there somewhere. Good video. Phil

@farmerphil

It probably got scrapped too.

Yea, i've been looking. found a bucket for a good price but the deal fell through. Looking for a fairlead. I'll find one someday.

That awesome that you guys are saving that old iron. That's a classic piece of american history that shouldn't just be thrown aside.
