Took these pics today of the Hymac 580DS that is awaiting possible restoration by Tony Flint.

Is the machine ex-Galliford? As the shade of blue is very much like the old Galliford Construction colours before their merger with Try.

IBH its actually a machine that belonged to Conwy Harbour in Wales I think the livery looks different but still prefer to see the machines in the old Hymac green.

Can anybody help me locate some buckets for a 580C or give me the pin sizes/measurements need? Also is it possible to extend the arm? I'm trying to source some for a friend, so he can finally get "Dorothy" into use!

Hi Rollo :wave: what size arm do you have on that machine?

I cannot promise anything but I may be able to locate a dipper arm for you and a bucket. I must also ask what size/type of bucket were you after?

Also perhaps Chris can help you?
