Looks like the best place to bolt a servo valve so it gets washed nicely with the pressure washer every time!

The Sumitomo collaboration finished long before that old girl rolled off the production line. Still a great machine in my opinion though, well worth keeping in good condition.

yeh - just looked back at the top and it's a lot younger than i thought James

The paint hasn’t weathered well on her, tempted to do the black counterweight and newer decals as easier than split colour scheme counter weight it has

This old girl hasnt seen many pressure washings since we got her off wimslow plant hire. 2007 machine we’ve had it since 2009 been out on site most the time since then on small house building jobs mainly rarely does continued hard work

Yep it would be the right thing conditions to grow many things! Moisture, heat and compost

I agree, paint not their strongest asset! My 220 of the same age is not the best in the paint department. But quite honestly how many machines look really good at that age, having lived outside in all weathers? Because I’ve not seen a machine of any brand that looks stunning at 15 years old, they all weather a bit, some better than others maybe.
