Martin's phone number is ; 260-447-5591 and their address is ;4315 Meyer Rd. Ft. Wayne In. 46806 Ask fot Tim or Jerry they run the outfit . Mark, Iused to work for a asphalt co. in Ft. Wayne called Dailey Asphalt Inc. back in 1957 , worked there for 30 years .. They had austin western equipment,, A-W graders , 98, super 88 both of them 6 wheel drive and the back tandem turned ,, I broke in on those graders . one was a straight 3 speed with a 3 sp. aux. the other had a 3 speed with a tork on it,, that was the best one. Other equipment Dailey had was a 3 ton tandem 5 ton tasndem, 10 ton tandem , and a 3 wheel 10 ton . I about forgot they had a A-W grader that had 4 wheels on it ,, 2 in front and 2 in back, all drivers ,, and you could steer it at the front and the back turnedtoo. hope this helps you finding yer crane. ps ..if you have any pictures of any A-W graders ,, I would greatly appreceiate it if u could send me some at my e-mail address .. thank u Mark ,, later ,,Bill
