The No. 3 Gradall, to be shown at the Alamo Group’s N10801 booth, still runs, with 90 percent of its parts original. It features a Linn carrier and a rebuilt Waukesha engine and track drive.
“The control valves, hydraulic cylinders, hydraulic pumps and boom assembly are all restored to working order,” the company says.
The showcasing of No. 3 is part of Gradall’s 75th anniversary celebration.
The company was founded by brothers Ray and Koop Ferwerda in Cleveland. They were contractors who developed fully hydraulic truck-mounted excavators. All of the company’s construction equipment continues to be manufactured in the United States.
