Though credit where credits due, it takes a special kind of person to scratch a zero tail swing excavators counterweight down to the bare metal :doh:

Martyn, someone had already bid on it at £5100!
I wouldn't go near a machine in this condition, not even at this price. Imagine the condition of the engine, rams, slew motor, undercarridge etc. Something makes me think the owner didn't use a grease gun to often :wtf:

That has to be a set up by a m8 to encourage other bids - surely :insomnia:
