thanks for the reply

do you have any pictures of what you did to mount your jib crane?

Ok, thanks for the reply. Getting ready to install one similar in my new addition. Was told 3’x3’x 3’ deep,

how big of a concrete base do you have under your crane?

Farmall400, can you tell me where the pexto tag is located on your brake. The dies do look alot like a section of rail, but they were factory made.

It's definitly different than any of the chicago brakes i've seen before, which is why i couldn't i.d. it at first. Not sure if it can be i.d. by the serial # 49160 of the size W4. I'll get some pics of the end this week, it has some things that i'm not sure what they are for, but they are...

Thanks for the help. The holes in the top are definitly factory. They are there to get access to the bolts for the top die clamp. As far as price goes, i did some trading for it. I'll post up some pics of the other set of upper dies tomorrow, maybe that will help with identifying it.

Thanks for the replies. Theres no raised lettering anywhere on it. I have a few freinds that have chicago's and they are quite different than this one. I did try to find something similar with Whitney Jenson, but no luck, so the search goes on.

Hello. I'm looking for help identifying the manufactor of a brake i recently purchased. Theres no name or i.d. plate on it that i can find, and i've never seen another quite like it. The whole top raises straight up to allow "I" beam shaped fingers to be installed, instead of the one piece upper...
