Love this video , great seeing the old girl fire up. I don’t doubt that the weather has probably been kinder to it than it might of in the uk. I can’t remember seeing any 6Ds in my day so it may be older than 50 years I remember something similar I think it was a 508 or 580 with the cab on that side as well . First jcb 360 I used was an 806C and seeing him reaching back for the track levers reminded me off it . I rescued an old liebherr 901 with a mate of mine a few years back that would of been a late 60s early 70s machine and it was a great feeling when the old Deutz fired up after lying for years and years.

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
6354 or possibly P6 .... very nearly bought one of these with a 6354 in it, in the late 90s ...... guy would never put a price on it ... sadly it ended up in the melt pot ... the push rams for the boom at the base was a real novelty with the boom pivots further up the frame .... right bar stewards to get at
he had a bargain with that for A$1000 ... it's outstanding nick for its age

What a great video well done, I remember seeing a few JCB 5C's no so many 6D's though there was also a 7B somewhere I still have a brochure for one, but the most common 360 in my neck of the woods was Gamble plants Hymac 580c machines right up into the early 80's then the Japaneese machines started to appear. Happy days.
