hi,i have been looking for any information about a safe working load diagram for a 1968? ford 5000 tractor crane which i work on occasionally.i have been told it is one of three that were built for working abroad.[supposedly australia].i can find no reference to this crane anywhere online.its probably the last one left.it is still in use and one of the most versatile cranes built. the steering swivels on a large bearing below the engine and the front boom hydraulics are in front of the front wheels which were worked by disc brakes.i will put some photos on after i take some this week.if you like unusual types of tractors this is a one off.maybe three.talk more later,thanks.ps, forgot to say i am a 69 year old trying to retire mechanic/plant fitter.loves fresh air,fishing,outdoors,fed up with diesel fumes.speak soon.
