Any recommendations for where to buy a Ford/NH grading bucket for the lovely old girl? (I'll need to save up my pennies first!)

Finding a blocked main drain that runs over the gas main today, hate digging over gas pipes

Gas main

Unless things have changed,,,, We had to have a gas man present and dig by hand over gas pipe. In reality gas man would probe ground then let us scrape 6 inch off at a time. Also be aware,,, the gas board do not know within a yard or three where the pipes are and also, they are NEVER as deep as they are supposed too be.
Good luck.

Builders turned up last week to do a few jobs. 14000+ hours & still going strong. You don’t always need shiny metal to get jobs done. Works alongside their EX60 & ZX85

I hazard a guess that was before the roto oil troughfeed things. This eleminates any need for it and still be able to swivel round and round.

Having a tidy up.
Digger using the tree shear without it's blade on.
Very handy.

Having the yearly tidy up, grab weighs 2.5 t so it's a bit heavy, but the old girl goes well, had her 24 years, done 3600hrs in that time, been meaning to paint her since I bought her, one day I'll get around to it...

2.5 ton ?

That's a hell of a grab !

 

[Bernardbean]

Yes, ment for a 25 t digger, all I could find at the time, had some pins machined down to 70 mm so it would fit, good at squashing things....

Not much of a digger photo but went digging for a water pipe this afternoon as it was a previous repair and we have a leak somewhere and this would be an easy blank off to test. As dad had done such a tidy job of reinstating this one last time it was very easy to find the spot!! Ridiculous how deep they buried this one…..
