I just purchased a used and broken Motorized Walthers Crane, I have no Instructions and can't find a diagram online does anybody have one?
 
If its a product that is still in Walthers catalog, go to the Walthers website. For most Walthers kits there is an option to download the instructions.

I did, there is no instructions available, I believe its the original tooling and Walthers doesn't have a any information on the product.
 


Is it the same motor as the Walthers Motorizing kit? There's an instruction sheet that can be downloaded. But no gear box diagram.

I have two of the cranes, one unpowered and one powered that has been dismantled for parts.
I’ll keep an eye out for better instructions

It looks like one of those gears is cracked. The upper white one, in a line with what looks like the two worm gears.

Yeah, I'll find some new ones the entire crane is a mess. It has NS MOW frame a BN cab Athearn bluebox gears on the axels and the cranes arm is broken, but it doesn't look like a bad project.
