I saw a travel news report saying it was in the tunnel. If that is true it’s going to be a bit tricky to shift I would think.

I imagine it’ll just get dragged onto a landoll type trailer, maybe lifted if they want some extra £££ out of the recovery job!

Can’t post the videos I have taken but this afternoon there has been some spannering, a can of release oil and a lot of sweat!!
The old girl now runs. Someone has put a make shift fuel tank on her that doesn’t have a leak off return. Not a hard job when she is back.
The old girl now drives backwards and forwards. There is a bar missing off the steering rack that shouldn’t be too hard to get the mechanism connected and working.
The old girl now lifts. Needs a new hook as the safety clip is missing.
The old girl now slews. The lever to engage sleeves of drive still needs a little TLC as it requires a little persuasion to move between the 2 functions.
Hopefully she will be back home later in the week.

That's serious progress.
In fairness to the previous owner he said it was driven to the spot where it currently sits after working on the house restoration. Took the Kx71-3 there today to see how easy it is to move it around. Decided to book the plant transport with a winch as I want it back in one piece!!
