What loading scrap

That's the plan tbh.

 

[JD450A]

Picked this up yesterday... it was going back to a mates yard for the hot spanner. But I didn't think it was bad enough.

Best thing for them horrible little things, to drive one it’s like putting your internal organs in a food blender and to work on one, well a gynaecologist would struggle

This one's nice enough. Made by king trailers. Entire cab floor comes out with one bolt and a clevis pin. I took the engine out in a hour last night.

Fully hydraulic machine. No chains or gears. Just quite a few pipes. Has hi and low flow circuits.

 

[JD450A]

Plenty on.

Those old box screens are good tools. You can produce a surprising amount of topsoil from crap in little time. Is it yours?

Yes, it's been neglected and stuck in the field for a long time, Dragged it out as we have a good hire for it over next winter.

I didn't like to be rude about how you maintain your gear, but I could see it had been parked up for some while. Being of a pre computer vintage it shoudn't take a lot to get it going unless there was no antifreeze and it has frozen. New fluids and a quick jump start and you're back in business. You could even steam clean it and new tyres if you really wanted to go to town.

[JD450A]

Not rude at all grah. As with alot of the stranger gear we have it's inherited from grandfather's old business. Long story short my uncle who became partner in that business died back just after we purchased the first 175. All that gear is still owned by grandad but ultimately is ours. All got abandoned as we had to sort out other affairs like the transfer station closure etc. Now we're starting to sort some of it out.

Petter engine... Needs a new starter and some TLC but she will live again.

 

[Gunners]

Got one of those screens in my yard, we've lost the retaining clamps that hold the lower screen decks in though so haven't fired it up for a while. You cant half run some gear through it when shes flat out, and an old 3cx will run it on its own. I think ours has a Deutz engine but will have a look when I'm in the yard next.
