Contact Dandy Dave on this forum. He can make them.
Thanks Larry. Moving my Machine Shop to the farm as we speak. The business where I had it set up is being sold. I should be back up and running soon. It will be better for me having it here a short walk away instead of having to drive to it. I've moved most of the small stuff already. The Back Hoe and forks are ready to move the big stuff. I have two damaged caps I've been looking at on my desk here for a while. They have cracks and messed up threads. I think I have come up with a way to repair them after some long thought.

Yes, the rigging that is on it now is set up for single point lift, but the controls, if I'm not mistaken, are for a drag link. Perhaps all early cranes are built for dual purpose. It takes a real master to operate a drag link properly. The bucket must be 'thrown out' by use of the boom, then drawn back in to scoop up the material being moved. It is a complex maneuver of levers and pedals and a good operator does it all in one fluid motion.
The correct term is a Dragline. I've ran a few in the past. Ran one on a T-35 Bantam. The other was on a Bay City Crane. Been around some B-22 Bucyrus Erie's also. The booms are basically the same as a crane with some extra bits for the tag line to keep the bucket straight.

Over the years in the ATHS club magazine I have seen a few of this era Mack's fitted with cranes similar to this one. They seem to have been a popular chassis for such set ups.
If I ever came across one in this part of the world I would drag it home instantly. The wife would have a fit, but sooner or later I think she would get over it. Life really isn't complete without a big old crane. Actually as cranes go these one's aren't really all that big, just a very handy size around the yard. 10 ton capacity ?
Lucky if you could pick up 4 or 5 tons with it with proper out riggers . Safe Lifting capacities diminish expansionally the further out the boom is extended. I had a 1952 model 41 Hanson on tracks. It had a safe lifting capacity of 13,000 LBS at a 15 Foot radius. That would translate to 6 -1/2 tons. At a 25 foot radius it was only good for maybe 2 tons. With a drag hoe or shovel front it was rated as a 1/2 yard machine.

Agree that the crane most likely was fitted to the truck when it was new. In the Historical Equipment circles these are called, "Truck Cranes." There was a similar old Mack in a gravel bank off of Rt 25 in the New Town- Monroe, CT area. As a youngster I watched it be dug around for years until it was on a pedestal of sorts. Then one day it was gone. The Sand Hill Plaza is in that location now.

If your center is good you can have it refaced at a local place that relines Brake Shoes.

Dave,
Is that 85lb looking assembly in front of the radiator a winterfront or bullit deflector?
Steve
It is a heavy duty guard. Some speculated maybe for working in the woods. I wonder if maybe it was military? At any rate it is there to stay.

After nearly 5 years on jack stands
waiting for a service to get done (Recore radiator, replacing timing gear, waiting to source a part, Reproduced water tube, Rear brake drum or for me to machine an assembly, Water Pump), My 1925 Master "Remley" was back on the road. Just befor 6" of snow this weekend.
All 4 tires on the floor.
Timidly exploring the outside world.
Now he was ready to come out. Neighbor Monty and I took him for several miles to limber him up a bit.
Amazing on how well the car stops now that all 4 wheel brakes are functioning. When we first got the car only the right rear had been doing any braking. That was with the assist of the emergency brake. That rear drum was very worn on the inside surface and 3/16" out of round.
We did another several miles on Friday before the snow fell. Now for some tweaking.
Nice to see when a plan comes together. Hope you have a great 2024 season with him Larry.

What kind of person would want two of those valves so much they would carry them around Hershey all day?
Only a diehard gearhead. 😁 You didn't have a pack donkey with you?

The Snow Gas engine uses much bigger valves. But then again at 1423……. liters! NOT cubic inches, it certainly needs to breathe a little bit easier. FYI- That’s 86,800 CID. It’s what we call in our shop a BFE………..figure it out! Total weight of this unit……..140 TONS……..🤔
Back when America built stuff……..and people actually worked for a living.
This is set up at the Coolspring power museum show grounds in PA. More on this beast. http://www.coolspringpowermuseum.org/Exhibits/Exley/Snow_600_00.htm

Dad was a pilot in WWII and this was in with his stuff.
Has sentimental value to me.

Not huge like your guyses, but pretty cool to me.

What does the valve spring look like? The front coils off a 60's Lincoln?
Sounds about right. 😁

While all of the White truck experts are here can anyone tell me how many of this model might be left. It’s a "Good Roads" truck. Thanks.
Looks like a 5 ton. I'm sure there aren't many left.

Need the serial number off the dash and engine please.......
Serial Numbers were not stamped in the block on these Ed. Sometimes there is a number stamped on a transmission cross member but not always. If the brass plate is gone it is real tough to get a year.

Great truck. What's in the back? Is that a load of parts you brought to Hershey to sell or parts you bought.
White Sewing Machines from the company father White started. Some old feed bags filled with Red Cedar chips and other farm stuff for fun. White also built Cletrac Tractors. It drew quite a crowd at Hershey on car show day. It runs so sweet I let it idle for most of the day. The crowd was amazed. Dandy Dave!
