Manual for 1961 Lorain Crane Thew Shovel

Anyone have any guidance on tracking down the original or the most appropriate operator's manual for a 1961 25 ton Lorain Crane Threw Shovel mounted on a coast crane carrier truck? I am trying to track this down for my internet-illiterate dad but I am not super well informed on heavy machinery so hoping you all could offer some suggestions. Pics included. Thank you!

Welcome somebody will be a long that can help better. Do you know the crane model 25A or? eBay has a lot old manuals. No experience with eBay seller just a idea. Good luck

Neat looking old crane. Hope you can get it going!

I'm THINKING MC-25H but hopefully someone more knowledgeable might have a suggestion.

We don't know the exact model and Lorain crane is obsolete. I did email the Terex parts address as I believe Terex absorbed Lorain. Just hoping someone will come along with a wealth of knowledge to share!

Mc25h looks to be a new era vs 25a so far only finding are old sells ads

CCC is aftermarket to the crane was sold as a crawler or on a truck

Had my dad take some more pictures in case that helps!

eBay has tl20 & tl25 parts book.

Similar house lines but lift capacity & drag bucket size 25 has a 3/4 yard & tl20 is half yard bucket
