So there was nothing in the trillon dollar Bailout for the high performance aftermarket?
What a shocker!

I figured they wouldn't stay out of the game long. Let's hope they come back soon and put the bad stuff behind them!

If they are sending out back orders are they back in operation?? Or is just a shipping crew getting the orders out. Hopefully things are coming around.

if wachovia would stop screwing around with the sale of crane, this wouldn't be happening. it's still limited production.

Banks screwing around is what got this economy where it is. It is what they do best.

Crane needs to get more military contracts. Supplement their performance stuff.

Then that makes sense as I heard they kept on a small number of folks to finish out the government contracts that they had to still complete. But what we would consider normal operations is still in limbo.

Bill Gaterman has released his own line of lifters (he was the one that designed Cranes lifters) and they are kick but. Bill's a good guy also...so the improved lifters are readily available.
