wasn't that a rebadged Sumi ??

Landlord has a JCB 13t duck in yard with a VA boom AND knuckle as well. There is a photo on this forum somewhere but I can’t find it.

nice ... thought you might've been referring to the 7t Sumi.s badged as Jakes ... there were a few about a couple of years ago - went to look at one, with the guy I bought my roller and favourite 3ft Geith off. Had had all the 'goodness' wrung out of it though and U/c was hanging sadly .. nice tools otherwise

something like this Case, or full knuckle ??


tried real hard to buy this one from a dealer in France, 'fore the 'Drema came up .. was very tidy, well 'appointed' and wasn't dear either ... was ready to make the effort to go see it in Abbeville - just couldn't get the guy to commit to a viewing date/time - long way to go on the off chance of him being there

Found it
Came from an auction with the dashboard in a separate box. I didn't think he would get it going but he did. Was a fair challenge I think, but its been keeping up with 2 skip lorries for last 5 years, and leaks a lot less than the old Poclain? that it replaced.

Devon is only the BEST County BECAUSE we neighbour Cornwall and Dorset and Somerset. We are the jam in the middle of a beautiful sandwich

Scone you mean. I like the other counties too but we don't tell them that as it goes to their heads otherwise

Probably the county with the most toes per capita in the country

My wife is Cornish so I can’t be too mean . And I’m 1/8th Cornish myself. Great GrandMother from Boscastle area got sent to work keeping house for a family on a Farm in South Devon… and never went back!
