One problem I see with this crane pic is that one of the inlets on the pneumatic pistons doesn't have a tube in it. If someone could explain how this crane arm is supposed to be lifted, I'd really like to hear it. Thanks. (20 years ago, 7-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

I hope the steering is there (and it is as it should be, operated by the steering wheel, and not the exclusive headlight on top). (20 years ago, 6-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
