Good! I like more to come. The old dragline I herded was set up so when you had adjusted the clutch all that was there it'd just go into pieces and you had to get new discs to put it back together. VERY disconcerting to have it fly all to pieces right in the middle of a job and that's the way it always happened. Blessings!
@@DrRust It was always a swing clutch. Never had the hoist or drag even need resetting. You had to work the swings against each other to get the thing to stop and change directions. 'Free Swing' was what it was called. Liebherr hoes had it too but they were hydraulic so no clutches, just freewheeling but only on the swing.
@@DrRust You ought to jump in the seat sometime. Just a set of winches on a turntable and everything just does one thing except the swing lever and it has both directions on it. A clutch lever and brake pedal for each drum. No rocket science there. You're red headed enough to make a good operator as I was told that all crane operators are about crazy anyway. I'm talking from running the blasted things since 1971 too so I ought to know.

I bet that was scary a few times when it let go

That’s interesting I love watching draglines work

Hopefully someday I’ll get some seat time most people think I’m crazy so I’d fit in
Why was there a disgusting hand clutch on an ih? I hate them on john deeres
It gives a live pto and because everyone needs two clutch’s to go out
