There use to be a dragline manufacturer at least on this side of the pond called Osgood, I saw an 'O' on the counterweight so I thought I'd try that.

Thats a good teaser Stock .. I did some research on a couple of nights, but I give in .. the square end caps .. the cab on the left .. when many earlier machines were on the right.. Ive found others with the same drive hubs, but not the same upperstructure, and certainly not the Semi Z linkage on the boom ? .. It has Hymac paint, but the counterweight says otherwise, and theres j..u..s..t. not enough showing to give it away, ... if I wasnt busy I'd hunt it down .. I'll leave you to divulge when ready

Go on give us a clue then .. is the first letter definately an O ? .. or is it a G and is the counterweight correct ? and tell me its not some mad Irish one off ?

There is a tenuous link to Ford.........................

Hey Stock its not a Hy-hoe or Hein-Werner machine by chance?

According to Peter Grimshaw's book Osgood was a company taken over by Marion in the early twentieth century. Still looking up that oddbal there.

According to my copy of Peter N. Grimshaw's 'The Amazing Story of Excavators volume 1' in 1972 Ford acquired a controlling interest in Richier and reduced the Product range and sold the Richier products under the Ford name until they sold the manufacturing operation to Sambron S.A. In 1979.
