Someone had to buy it....

..... might as well be me. 1979 JLG 886 Carry Deck Crane. I think JLG stopped making this model around 1981-2. Might be an oldie and goodie. Asking for the moon here, but need one 14.50 x 15 OTR tire and a () service manual. This is what Baskin Truck Sales call a good tire.

Good for nothing!

Baskin? Oh my. That place has terrible reviews all over the internet. Thrives and scam artists it seems. Neat little rig . Hope you got a really good deal.

Call me a out cast but i wouldnt mind owning it!

They sell obvious junk at cheap prices - not that hard to figure out. They always have late model trucks with a "salvage title" for sale that look great in the pictures. Hope the rest of the machine is in decent shape OP.

That thing is bad to the bone. How much does it weigh?

14.50L-15/35x15-15 32PR Haulmax ZM722 TT 14.50L-15/35x15-15 32PR Haulmax ZM722 TT - HLMX-OTR-021861 otrusa.com Need to start scouting forklift or a mining tire guy, and try to find a used one. That said, I think that would be a handy little rig around the shop. If I remember right, when John L Grove, sold out of the Grove Crane company, he started JLG, but was only able to build cranes under like 15-18 ton. That's where the little JLG cranes got started. What's it got for a engine, and is it hydraulic drive from upstairs to downstairs through the swivel?

It's just single station, from the cab. Has a Deere four cylinder diesel, not sure of the HP/model yet, and it's hydrostatic/hydraulic all the way. Yep, upstairs to downstairs through the swivel, the whole cab and boom rotate, thinking it has a turntable like my excavator.

Still have a few kinks to work out before it's usable.
