The Cracker Creek Museum of Mining receives many donations..........
and they are grateful for every one, but perhaps one of the most important of these
next to the Monighan itself, is the motor that will power the dragline. This motor
required several hours of work before it could be used in the Monighan to bring it to
life-when it will be used to make the Monighan walk!

leonard adds fuel in preparation for the first attempt to start the monighan motor in sumpter oregon        leonard and nils look for problems as the monighan motor comes to life

The Monighan motor finally roars to life after several hours of effort to fix the bugs........
The next task for this motor will be to power the Monighan so it can walk for all to see!
