I can only hope that those two Priestman excavators find a new owner who's just as caring for them as the previous one was.
What's the track width of the 108S Bogmaster?
Best regards

The Mustang 90 once belonged to John Marchant and this very machine was on display at the last SED show.

Hi Jeremy,
Very interesting. The 108 Bogmaster is a little further from home, it's in New Zealand.
I'm trying to buy a 108 for restoration at the moment. It's only a couple of miles from here, I'll try to get some pics over the weekend.

Re: Priestman Excavators
Hello All,
I got some pics. of the 108S I'm trying to aquire today. I hadn't seen it for 2 or 3 years and it took a bit of finding.
Apparently it was working when slipped a track and has lain in the same place ever since, it's been vandalised but is basicaly pretty good.
First sight.
Looked a bit better from the other side.
The offending track.
Rams seem good and no welding.
I'll keep you posted.

Have sorted that one Nick meanwhile here's a rather nice Mustang 120 MK11 well I think it's the MK11 but I'm sure Fred will correct me if I'm wrong.
