1930's Structo Steam shovel project. Metal wheels. Needs rigging and bucket arm broken at top 3 inch portion. Haven't done any clean up on it and looks decent other than bucket issue.
1940's-50's Wyandotte Construction Co. Dragline project. Missing all rigging and bucket. May have to use a Tonka clam bucket, as they seem easier to find. Mismatched wheels. Body and paint excellent.
Picked these two projects up for little money and they display ok as is, but I enjoy tinkering with these things.
Nice. I just refinished one of the Wyandotte. Mine had a front shovel that mounted in the holes half way up the boom. The rigging took me a long time figuring it out.
Thanks AZTom. This one might be a shovel one. Looked at a lot of the various Jib boom styles, some had 3 elongated holes, some had 2. Most of the 2 hole had the shovel, most of the 3 had clam bucket. but it wasn't definitive, was a mixture. I have a shovel, so thought clam bucket would be the way to go. Not that I will actually use it.........much. Thanks for the comment.
