[Boohoo]

How long since they stopped making them? Would it be 20 year yet? I'm sure they were still going in 95

Good question, I had to resort to Google for the answer. They closed in 2001.

Did they ever get on to the recesed tanks? have seen a few about over the years but thought they closed before all that started & maybe done by others.

They made some recessed tankers. I remember one on the Star stand at the Balmoral show, it was painted black and was a 2000 if I remember correctly. I just can't remember the year. I know of a few that are still working, 1 is possibly that 2000, the other is a 1500. They were an innovative company, the first with a Sludgegator as far as I know and one of the first with overhedge booms.

And what you going to do with it ...............

Only seen this now.. mechanically its a1 running very sweet, needs a new cab and nearly all the tinwork should be fun
