I had one way back in the 80's the standard front bucket was huge on the 3D, They were a bit heavy on the back end too, I would like to see some of the new generation of operators on one !

Just started breaking our 3c mark 2 and a 4

Noooooooooooo. But I suppose if they are too far gone at least they will provide parts for working machines and restorations, Do you break many machines then, Wherabouts are you located.

 

[muckyman]

Too far gone as in robbed parts off them to keep others going mainly break crawler loaders,south yorkshire

I reckon thats had a replacement cab on it the front grille looks like that is an earlier machine 1981-2 type which had a white cab it also has the boxier extending dipper, It could be a crossover 82/83 machine great find though.

Did your machine have the electric shuttle or the Borg warner shuttle I had an 86 2WD with the Borg warner identical to your one, It was a good machine.

The 3D was a beast of a machine, my grandfather had one (we still have it, on the long list to be restored) I practically grew up in it
