After resetting with the normal boom, I stripped it to the long block. The crane is relatively easy to pivot & control, even with the truck on a tilt. Resetting the length of the boom is pretty easy, if there's something suitable to rest the load on. This engine is pushing the limit for the center of the t/g, but it seems OK near the L end (the end with a full cup & round peg).
