Shifted a Ford H47 CK excavator yesterday and today, had a crook final drive

Was quite the challenge to load, had to winch one side and drive the other good side, a lot of slipping and sliding to get it  on 

Came off easier 

First Ford excavator I have ever seen in the flesh

That’s interesting. I didn’t know such a creature existed 

I've never seen a boom/stick like that before. Must have four pistons on it! Would like to see it working. Nice pictures Paul, glad to see the ol'girl still earning her keep.    .....Hippy

the local scrap yard has two with sticks like that. they have swivel grapple claws on the end.

Only 3 rams like normal for the boom and dipper, it is all very complicated affair

I think the pins get shifted in the boom when you do heavier work

Hydraulics have come a long way 

This is hydraulic over hydraulic so no electronics to give drama

But in pretty poor condition which doesn't help at all
