Re: Yumbo
Hello Steve
Interesting find. Heres an earlier Yumbo truck-mount (1940s??) .
Interesting geometry and hydraulics on the shovel. That combined arm/ram must have taken some stick??

Well, I found a photo which realy does show the earliest "first ever" of the Yumbo line.
The Y54 is another on the same lines and the third and fourth photos of the Y 35 clearly shows the boom shape which gave them their name.
They seem to have stuck to the tubular dipper arm for many years. Note the Mitsubishi connection.
