    The electric motor conversion to the knuckleboom crane is still getting some good work done! It has been a real back saver while working on the All Terrain Track Chair project, and now that I have powder coat painted parts, I am doing final assembly work.
    Here's a video of part 3 I just recently filmed, and some major components got lifted into position... see the end of the video where the engine finally goes back in.
    It is so much nicer to flip the electric switch on, move the crane as needed, shut it off while getting stuff ready, and then flipping it back on and moving it. Yes, it moves slower than what a new crane does, but it sure is faster in the shop than any other method!
