Which crane are we talking about? Give me the TYCO stock number and I might have around that I could at least provide good pics of the hook for you.

Model No.900, It looks like the one on the tripod site. I have a hook that is bent exactly like the one that is lifting the pipe but the part that runs down the boom is nowhere near long enough, I also think that it made a kind of "V" shape at the base and went into a square plastic piece at the base of the boom. The last time that I saw this intact I was 5 years old, I'm 31 years old now, so I don't know if I am remembering correctly!!!LOL![:D]

It looks like a paperclip to me! [:O)] Genuine TYCO Engineering..."Let's just twist a paperclip to the desired form!"
I'm sorry I don't have the No.900 Operating Crane Loader in my collection.
Seriously, I would think a large paperclip or just brass wire would possibly put into working order.

I have a metal hook that is like that one on the end of the crane, it's just that I do not know how it runs down the boom and how it attaches to the base, it is too short for the boom. How can I attach pictures?? I could show you what I am talking about[:D]

To put a picture into your messages, you need to have a place on the internet to store the image.
If you don't have a regular spot to post photos, I suggest www.photobucket.com. I discovered them about a month ago and it is a really easy way to load images. Takes maybe a minute to set up an account and then you can upload pics from your PC to the photobucket site. Photobucket even has the html-ready link to use that you can copy and paste directly into your message and boom there are your pictures. Photobucket is FREE and they provide a great amount of space to store pics.
Your images work best if you keep them no larger than 800x600 pixels. You can re-size an image, if it's too big in a program like Photoshop.
If you already have a place to store pics online, the html link for photos is right before you while you're doing a message here on the TYCO Forum. Look at the box you input text and there is a section labeled Format with many blue buttons. In the second row of blue buttons, the row begins with a capital B, then I, then U-underlinded...anyway the button with the square that shows the twin peaks of a mountain with the sun or moon circle in the upper right corner is what you're after. When you want a picture in your text just click on that button and it will drop the htm brackets for image. Copy the web address for the image you have loaded on the net and paste its address between the image brackets and you're in business.
If you have trouble with Photobucket or posting, come back and ask again and we'll get her working for ya.

Was anyone able to help you with the part yet? If not I may be able to scrounge one up!

Contrare, you can upload here.
When you post hit the paper clip button in the Format: section, that will allow you to upload. Hit the browse button in the popup window, browse to the picture on your computer, choose it. Hit upload. When it's complete you will see a line that says something like include this picture in your post, hit that. Done.
Online tutorial to follow.
