Very tidy Sanderson. Must be around 30years old?

It is, and nothing to do with me! I've had it a little over a year. No rot on any of the sills, though does a little tidying of the dash and electrics. 1989, so 31 now!

I'm confused by this, your 474 is R reg. I have a 475 which is P reg. I thought the 475 replaced the 474, has yours got the "quiet" cab?

They can be sold a late if it was unsold on stock at the time.

Did your 1494 used to have flotation tyres on the back at one point @DrWazzock ?

It did indeed and I still have them but the bettinson duals are much easier to get on and off for different jobs.

I explained this anomaly earlier in this thread.

My God that was well spotted!!!

That's actually the registration off the 674 was put on the 474 temporarily

Quite a stable machine really. Also quite a good Bulldozer till we grounded. ?

We had a Thomas 233hd very good machine apart from the six cylinder kubota which kept blowing head gaskets! We have a 245hdk now with 4 cylinder turbo kubota which also eats head gaskets! The six cylinder did sound good.

@blackieman83 the top picture looks very familiar, but can't put my finger on it. Where is it? I take it that's the Mournes in the back ground, the Slieve Bernagh side?

If you are referring to the photo with the 574 and 584 with the hen house in the background, then beyond that is actually the Dromara mountains, the Mournes are behind me as I took the photo.
