Some Old Plant Photos

[Old Operator]

Hi I came across these photos https://www.dowtyheritage.org.uk/content/dowty-group/dowty-hydraulics/dowmax-dowmatic-drive-systems
On here are some pics of old Marshalls, The original Smalley 15, The JCB 110.
I was looking for info on the Bagnall Burns hystat crawler (1958) but found these instead

Found also this on their hystat drive from 1959 https://www.dowtyheritage.org.uk/content/dowty-group/dowty-hydraulics/hydrostatic-drives

I’d like to know a bit more about that IH Drott with Dowty drive. I’m fairly well up on my International machines but that skid unit was totally new to me. Looked like possibly 175 arms, but that’s a guess.

A/C HD31?

I think that’s a F89, there were a few over here. Norfolk Line ran a few in the ‘70’s.
