Hi, Folks.
Here is a link to an interesting old sideboom pipelayer. Can anybody tell me - WITHOUT going to the comments - what is different about this unit and the possible history of the differences. Remember, I said "WITHOUT going to the comments."

Just my 0.02.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

No idea on the history but it has the extended track frame on the left side and the variable counterweight on the right. Both used for more capacity.

Hi, kracked1.
If my understanding is correct, Cat's sidebooms had the extendable counterweight as standard by then but the history of the extended left hand track is a 'nuther' story.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
