№637544 Prompt sale of a truck crane

Letting go of our Caterpillar 572R from 1999. Shows 3,900 hours which is barely broken in for these old pipeline warriors. Bought it from a contractor who kept it garaged between jobs - explains the low hours. The boom and winch still work in perfect sync, which matters when you're suspended 40-ton pipe sections. Paint's original except where we touched up after that incident with a concrete barrier. Yeah, the seat's held together with tape and hope, throttle linkage needs occasional encouragement, but the important stuff? Rock solid. Had to rebuild the side boom cylinders at 3,500 hours, normal wear for the work it does. Tracks are at 70%, sprockets replaced last year. Starts every morning without fail, though it sounds grumpier when cold. Our operator learned on this exact machine 15 years ago - says newer models feel disconnected compared to the mechanical controls here. The special machinery from this era just keeps going.
