Rob that backhoe looks like its articulated would have to be a rare thing I would think dont think I have ever seen a picture of a articulated backhoe before

Paul

There is/was acompany called Hyrema who made artic diggers but I was just going by the colour scheme. Give 'em a google, there's some good pics of some weird stuff!

some different breeds than I have ever seen before today
The D series Ford with sliding tilt would have be very modern in its day

Paul

I think that may be Edbro tilt gear.
Check the private reg no., '105 TW'. The 100+hp TW series tractors must have been ten years away when that was taken.

Hi,
The TW reg. plate is a red trade plate.
Pic. of a Thames Trader from the Ford stable with another TW trade plate below.


I think the slide & tilt on the D Series may be a "Bri-Mec" body made by Bristol Metal Contracts Ltd.

The articulated excavator in the pic is a Schaeff like below but has 2 dipper rams and is a SKB800,also a JSW sat on the muck pile, 2 rare machines in one place!

Stumbled upon this one, did this particular unit later became part of the Johnson fleet ?

Hmm this seems odd as I can click on them and enlarge them as needed; I will inform Holger.
