hey did you know? you can build a lifting frame for your cherry picker and stick it through the windows, you can get a lot more height lifting from inside the cab.
That old 300D would go 100mph all day but you are right it is high RPM. I hope the overdrive knocks it down a little. I may need to experiment with rear end gears. I never thought about putting the crane boom inside the cab, good idea!
