Leonard Bacon and Nils Christensen work
on a donated motor that, someday soon, will power the Monighan and make it walk down at the museum in Sumpter, Oregon! |

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! ![]() ![]() 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! See us move the Historic Monighan down to the Museum in Sumpter: |
