| Thanks Coke, I posted the message for someone that is not in this group. I'll pass your message along. I know they've done some searches but they seem to be confused about the engine. |

| ACPhil, I appreciate that but I posted the message for someone that isn't part of this group. All I can do is pass it along to him. I think the Machine is in Michigan or somewhere far away from me. Thanks! |

Part of a post from another forum with Schield Bantam information...
Bryan
Schield Bantams were built from 1942 up until 1964, when Koehring purchased Schield Bantam. In the following link (below) there's some info on the Schields and the Bantam. If you scroll to the bottom of the website link, you will see "Fred and Emma Schield Family History" on the LHS. Clicking on that "Family" link brings up another page with the family history broken up into three sections. In the center section, you will see "Schield Bantam Company". There are two links under this heading - Part A and Part B. Clicking on "Part A" and "Part B" brings up two PDF files with some company history and a few photos. Schield Bantam .. http://www.schieldbantam.org/ - http://www.schieldbantam.org/ The Schield Bantam M-49 model was truck mounted. It could be set up in four configurations - crane/dragline/face shovel/hoe. As a crane, the M-49 had a capacity of 9.5 tons. As a dragline, it was 3/8 yards in drag bucket size, or 1/2 yard in clam bucket size. It had a 40 foot boom. The M-49 was a military surplus model - the civilian model was T-35. The construction model, mounted on tracked undercarriage was C-35, and this had a 5/8 yd capacity. The M-49 was powered by a Continental F-227. Engines used by Schield Bantam were GM, Buda, Cummins, Chrysler Industrial 6, and Continental. ------------- Sticks and stones may break my bones but hollowpoints explode on impact. |
