Allis B Drott Universal Crane

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have a little Allis B converted by Drott to a Carry Deck Crane. The engine is mounted behind the the drive axle where the PTO would be and the transmission is mounted in front of the drive axle like a tractor. The operator sits on the left beside the transmission. It has a cherrypicker type boom by Your right elbow that rotates about 350 degrees and a winch that operates the hoist line. Has a flat deck ahead of the operator with about 12 inch diameter hard rubber wheels under front of the deck for steering.I have never seen another like it, will figure out how to post photos hopefully someone might know more information on it.

	at the bottom of this page on the left side , there is a BOX that says "POST REPLY"... Click on that, then click on the GREEN TREE icon... Then on the bottom left of the pop up box, click on the "choose photo" to go get your photo.. Normally that will be on your computer desk top or photo file..... Photos should be 800 x 600 pixels or so.. Many cameras are 5000 x 3000 and over 5 MB in size and will not load on this forum.... use PAINT or other to SHRINK in size.
