harman crane.

Guess we would not be allowed to carry it that way now, at the time we had the warning signs on a preceding Nissan Patrol towing a caravan, no accreditation required. Similarly with explosives, to the police station with lease number, get a permit then to Perth with the car and bring it home in the boot.
The year following we got a s/h Poclain MC 100 18 ton excavator which did away with blasting.
Kockums KL225 comes to mind for that machine.

Yours is a 225.As far as I can see,its just a 25E with a cab that separates the operator from the rotating gears.Not a bad idea,I suppose.The WHSO wouldnt be keen on the standard Harman,thats for sure.I was trying to lift a 40ft container today,wouldnt budge with the crane on its ends,so I will have to unpack some of the junk inside.Dont want to collapse the boom again.Its got a few wobbly bits in it already.

I m thinking of holding a Harman rally.You should register early,as numbers may have to be limited.

Could meet half way, have to leave early, travel speed less than 1 kph.

I dunno.Its 13 years since I filled the fuel tank.Still about 2" left,might make it.Got a call from a guy with an Osgood dragline.He wants to come.Might be an outsider around all the Harmans.

Don't let this happen to your Harman





Easily Dun:
Boom left down low o/night
clutch slips wen trying to raise boom
U adjust clutch to raise boom
as the boom gets higher it becomes easier on the clutch
@ desired height U disengage the boom lift clutch... but U adjusted it up.... it wont stop... up n over
or the boom hoist rope jumps the drum onto the haul rope drum n gets draged in up n ovr
possable remedy have the engine kill switch close .............. reel close
LOL

When transporting always drive on and off boom forward so it doesn't bounce if machine rocks.

th@ way all the track slak is up ontop of the track n not under the track

I had a D type like the pics made in 1943.It had a 4cyl Cat motor with pilot motor start.A restorer needed the motor for his D4 and made an offer I couldnt refuse,and scrap was at an alltime high ,so that was the end of Harman #48. # 341 came mighty close too.I dunno if you ve seen Gardner motors on e bay for $10,000,but people keep telling me about it.Bubble has bust,as an unused/nos 4LW ex MOD was sold a couple of days ago at auction for 1000 quid,say $2000 with the premium.

Unlikely to be a Harman, but it is a crane. Make? Year?
170714F Murray River (Roderick Smith).
~864 km at 10.42, road crane on a works barge, with a tug. There a few on the river. Some will be contracted to Murray Darling for essential work; others are private, constructing marinas and jetties.
