Hello there Jason
I have five loaders,a Cat 933g,two BTD6,A b100 AND A 125a.The 125 is similar to a BTD8.

I am working on a number of projects at the present time,one is an Aveling Barford GA roller fitted with a Ford side valve engine.The roller was built in 1953 and was used by Haverford west council.I will be restoring this roller to its original condition.Will post update and photo shortly.
