You look so comfortable sitting in there it's like you're in your living room watching TV

Really a clean Unit. All those years of indoor storage paid off. I remember a wrecking yard that had one. They used a big dozer blade to drop and crush cars then loaded them with the magnet. Excavating took a lot longer back in the day. A rag with diesel would make it shine again. Thanks for the video.

Love the old truck style wheels from that era

I would be nice to see the magnet. Always want one in my yard.

Clean it up and paint it orange like the Doepke Model Toys Unit crane from the 50's. I had one as a kid. Saved my money cause it was $14.95 in 1954......a lot of money back then.

Wheeled cranes and broken deckboards go together like peanut butter and jelly.

Our featured machine - UNIT.<br>Seems like every shot has 1 or 2 UNITs in it.  How many UNITs are at the show?
