Took these in a field near to me the machine has been there for some time and apparently it was last used a while ago to drag that tractor to its present position.

Nice pics Norman :thumbup: she's not in bad condition for a 1982/3 machine good chance she is a Rhymney built 580D as opposed to an NEI built machine. :thumbup:

Actually I've never seen it move ,I'm guessing the tractor is in need of some TLC as its still attached to the excavator, A local told me that the guy who owned them was trying to sell the whole field etc. would the 580D have the Ford 6d in it?.

Hi Norman; no the 580D is fitted with a Perkins 6,354 engine.

Ex Wimpey machine by the colour and plant number on the door GW 1943. Great find!
