They are great well sourced photos Craig! Those were the proper days I remember of "pull and run" demolition when IH Drotts, Cat 951/955's ruled along with the ball and chain. Beats todays art of demolition using various types of 360's. which for me is borrring.........

Yes surprised how long the tracked shovel / chain method lasted ,but have heard that the demolition boys used to destroy booms on 360's very quickly by swinging them into solid things side on. :)
