    Oil Pan Crush Washer Failure with pics

    Some old construction equipment pics

    It takes a special breed to run a crane floating on a barge. Hook up to your load and start lifting, the barge sinks and sinks and sinks on one side then all of a sudden you reach a buoyancy point and the load shoots up in the air 8 feet. The spuds dropped into the river bottom help a little...
