I was the Operator for a US Navy owned 4600 it was in Rota Spain. Engines were 12v71 and 6-110. The main counter weigh could not be seen from outside it was behind the visible rear weight. It was a box filled with solid Lead. It took two super 20 pettybone forklifts, a 40 ton PB had crane and a TD-20 dozer to lift and push it into place. The box was built of 2inch plate. I used Ivory soap bars to lube the slides. ChiefD

Brings back some great memories. Ran a few different 4600’s back in the late 70’s early 80’s it was considered the Cadillac of draglines. Nothing like them with the inter lock system.

One of these rests in peace under 500 feet of water in Lake Ontario, since it fell off of a barge in a storm in 1981. Thanks for the great tour of this amazing machine!

I spent 15 years on a total 5 4600,s all had 379 cat engine my favorite machine out of 32 years on Draglines.

I have Only ran One (1) of these, It was an Old one that looked Just like this. I only ran it’ a week, when the guy was out sick, and My machine was Down for MX. It’s funny you mention them at 16:15 but yes, I mostly ran the LIMA 2400’s in Both the Three (3) drum Clamshells, diesel & electric unloading barges, and the A & B models of Draglines with 7 - 8 yard buckets both loading barges and making piles with them... 👍

Great job. I remember a gang of these machines and 3900s digging the channel up the Verdigris River to Tulsa. Those guys could really cast.
