Rip condolences to family

Anybody see the nice 1454 for sale on gumtree?

Working in London at the moment, when I get home I'll check it out and get pics.As far as I know it was bought new along with the dozer.I first saw them 25 years ago and seemed to be sitting a long time even then.I think the brothers went their seperate ways and one wouldn't please the other to sell...

A company consisting of two brothers left a 480 on one job and an international td9 on another job and never came back for either of them to this day!!Next time I get a chance I'll get the full story and some pics.Both are left outside and are rotting away,pity

Wow thanks.along with all those horses, must be some serious torque judging by the length of the conrod.do they run on a crude form of diesel Martyn?How does the fuel system work compared to a standard diesel?

Many years ago I remember fitting a set of triples on my first machine (580c). If memory serves me right, 32,32 and 28 gallons per minute.had to change inlet and outlet flanges as old pumps ports were smaller.good machine in there day,simple to fix.knew them inside out
