Re: Bucyrus Erie cable tool
Brad , several windmillers subscribe to Farm Collectors magazine , Wayne frequently answers questions about obscure tools.
In the past there was a in depth article about the old water well drilling machines, and even several on windmills

Re: Bucyrus Erie cable tool
Thanks for the photo
There appears to be a quantity of “Goldberg” aspects to the rig , the chassis , the pickup box , gas tank/ water tank, & spooling from a steam shovel
