Hi, Steve,

Did you ever find any info on these cranes? I'm considering one and would appreciate any leads to parts or service sources, manuals, etc myself.

Thanks, Steve,

Steve/John: Did any more info ever show up about this outfit? I can't find what happened to it after Glen Way acquired it in 1968 or so; he was supposed to've owned several outfits, including Hughes-Keenan Manufacturing, Delaware, Ohio. Way supposedly had a stroke, his business interests "...lliquidated...".There's mention of "...an old crane factory..." in Delaware, Ohio, and now there's apparently a Hughes-Keenan Foundation there, but Googling doesn't bring up anything. I'm dying of curiousity why more info's not on the web., other than ref's to Cat etc mounted and self-propelled cranes.

I know of one and possible two Roustabout cranes. they may be getting junked.

Not sure of the model.

They are located in Eastern Ohio.

I will try to get model, etc. in the next 10 days.
