Finest dragline operator I ever knew

[9W Monighan]

Too bad the video doesn't show the rear wheels coming off the ground 6 inches when he's running After Walt sold that machine he rode around in his golf cart giving orders to us younger apprentices He could look at a bucket,spit his Mail Pouch and say: "It won't dig" not until he gave instructions on how to adjust things I rode along with him on board right around the time this video was taken and he was giving me instructions but I could barely hear him under the noise. Next he let me have a try. This was my first time operating a dragline but no way near as good as he did. I did have another chance but turned it down on the B-E 650W walker in another couple videos shown on Bennettshovel.
