This is my mate Peter King in his early days. I was a test driver for Ransome and Rapier and also NCK cranes. Hard to believe the old type cranes , My cranes were air clutch or even easier hydraulic
Good old days

Re: NCK 605 pre air control
The old crane went abroad and Peter had to drive it on the boat as it's so hard to operate , The only one of this this type I got off a low loader with one tooth on the bevel drive left . It was loaded with the help of a dozer. Pull the traction lever and wait for the response
