Were these cranes self-propelled?

This is great – what kind of work train is this? With those spoools almost looks like for the fibre projects of the 80′s? But I thought that was a bit later than ’81

Yes, these 12 ton capacity Burro Model 40 cranes were self-propelled. The traction transmission on the Burro Model 40 is a Cotta 4 speed. There is also a two speed transfer case between the travel clutches and travel gear and a high speed notch on the throttle.
